Chapter 61

~8 min read 1,488 words

"Deep breath, deep breath, hold on—Lester!"

"Yes, that's it, that's the look!"

"What? You're willing to talk?"

"No, hold on a little longer, please, you're Bullseye after all!"

Fifteen minutes later, Alvin wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief: "Alright, thanks for the cooperation, Mr. Bullseye."

【Kill Bullseye (Benjamin Poindexter)】

【Obtain Source Power: 1000 units】

【Fix current world anchor, requires 1500 units of Source Power】

"Now that's more like a villain."

Alvin nodded with satisfaction, carrying a human skeleton in his hand.

The fusion of Adamantium made Bullseye's skeleton shine with a silvery luster under the sun, gleaming brightly.

"Thanks to the Emperor, knowing my life is hard, for sending me this Adamantium~" To get this complete skeleton, he had put in a lot of effort, stripping away the flesh bit by bit; fortunately, he didn't have to worry about damaging the Adamantium, otherwise he would have had to throw it into a furnace to smelt it.

What?

Think Alvin is suspected of being too extreme, a bit like a heretic?

No, compared to some Inquisitors and Tech-priests, he considers himself far from extreme.

But it is a pity that this skeleton only fused with Adamantium, and is not a pure Adamantium skeleton like Wolverine's.

"Forget it, wash it and give it to Tony, let him help melt it down."

Alvin carried the skeleton and floated toward the villa.

Watching Alvin return with that skeleton, Tony felt unwell, and veins popped on his forehead: "Don't tell me... this thing is the person who attacked us just now!"

"Uh, I said I picked it up on the road, do you believe me?"

Alvin touched his nose with a guilty conscience and decided to change the subject immediately: "By the way, I know where Pepper is."

"What?!"

Sure enough, upon hearing about Pepper, Tony's attention was immediately diverted.

What skeleton? Get out of here, is it more important than Pepper?

"Pepper was kidnapped by Obadiah and sent to Hell's Kitchen, Fisk Tower." Alvin said slowly: "There is currently no life danger; she is being held in a room by Kingpin, probably waiting until after he kills us to deal with Pepper."

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

Tony was impatient and shouted without a second thought: "Jarvis, prepare the Mark 3!"

"Wait a minute, don't be so anxious."

Alvin grabbed the impatient Tony and, under his puzzled gaze, explained in a calm tone: "Hell's Kitchen isn't that simple. What if the other side runs away? We are going to save people, so we must be prepared."

"What's there to prepare? Do you look down on my Mark 3?"

Tony was full of confidence in the updated Mark 3, proud as a rooster: "Mere Hell's Kitchen, I can sweep it alone, no preparation needed at all, just watch my performance!"

What kind of weakling is Hell's Kitchen?

The updated Mark 3 has been iteratively strengthened in both basic defense and firepower systems!

Especially against invisible forces, with multi-layer nested armor and long-range locking firepower, he is confident he could even defeat 'Alvin'!

"Uh, what are you guys talking about?" Black Widow felt isolated; she couldn't quite understand where Tony's confidence to sweep Hell's Kitchen came from.

"Mr. Stark, I must remind you, Hell's Kitchen is not that simple." She coughed twice and said slowly: "According to our intelligence, Kingpin possesses extreme physical strength and combat ability, and the forces in Hell's Kitchen are mixed; it is very difficult to rescue Ms. Pepper alone."

Tony couldn't be bothered to explain to her and rolled his eyes: "You don't know shit."

"..." Black Widow was choked with anger, her chest hurt; could it be that she was angered into having hyperplasia?

She finally understood why Alvin and Tony were friends; when two foul-mouthed people get together, how could they not be birds of a feather?

"Mr. Alvin, don't you plan to persuade him?" Black Widow had no choice but to pin her hopes on Alvin, hoping he could persuade the impulsive Tony and then plan carefully.

"Persuade what?"

Alvin glanced at her and said lightly: "They've already attacked us, can your S. H. I. E. L. D. tolerate that?"

They are looking for you, what does that have to do with S. H. I. E. L. D.?

"I mean, even if we want to rescue Ms. Pepper, we should at least have a plan, right?" Black Widow held her forehead; she was exhausted for these people.

"Makes sense, we do need a plan."

Alvin thought for half a second and nodded in agreement: "How about this, you contact Fury and say I have something to find him about."

"What do you want to do?!"

Black Widow stared at him vigilantly, always feeling a bad premonition.

"Am I a member of your S. H. I. E. L. D.?"

"Uh, yes, but..."

"No 'buts', I'll just ask you, do I count as a member of the Avengers?"

"Yes, but..."

"Don't 'but' me, now, someone is assassinating an Avenger, how should that be counted?"

"We cannot intervene..."

"When I joined you, Fury said the Avengers were to protect humanity and Earth's safety; was he just farting?"

"No..."

"Then is assassinating me equivalent to endangering humanity and Earth's safety?"

"... I suppose, it counts?"

Black Widow was almost dizzy from his circular logic and nodded dazed.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Alvin stepped up the offensive and said righteously: "For an organization that endangers humanity and Earth's safety like this, we, the Avengers and S. H. I. E. L. D., have the obligation and responsibility to eliminate such a threat, don't we?!"

"Mr. Valerius, we can't do that..." Black Widow was extremely helpless; although S. H. I. E. L. D. has great power, eradicating Hell's Kitchen requires political compromise.

After all, Kingpin is supported by Congress behind the scenes, and they cannot act rashly.

"Give me the phone, let me talk to Fury."

Alvin snatched the phone from Black Widow without a word and dialed Fury's number directly.

He used psychic power to suppress the sound transmission, so Black Widow couldn't hear what the two were talking about at all.

A moment later, Alvin handed the phone over: "Your director has something to say to you."

Black Widow took the phone suspiciously, and Fury's voice came from inside: "Agent Romanoff, in fifteen minutes, the military will blockade the Hell's Kitchen district, and S. H. I. E. L. D. will take over this conflict completely. I will have Hawkeye go to support you; remember to follow Alvin's orders!"

In just a few minutes, what exactly did Alvin say to the director?

Black Widow looked at Alvin in shock; until this moment, the somewhat green youth was suddenly covered in a layer of mysterious mist in her eyes!

She knew Director Fury; for something like this, he would 100% not agree.

Not to mention, he would actually use the full force of S. H. I. E. L. D., combined with the military to blockade Hell's Kitchen, putting on a posture of wanting to eradicate it completely.

"What... exactly did you say to the director?" Black Widow swallowed and asked in shock.

"Nothing."

Alvin smiled mysteriously: "Just, made a deal with him, that's all."

As he spoke, Tony finished his preparations and stood on the circular platform in the center of the living room.

Several mechanical arms extended from below, assembling the armor of each part onto Tony in an orderly fashion.

The heavy energy backpack was mounted, and scorching energy currents were ejected from the tail end.

On the left and right were two thick semi-circular shoulder armors, the legs and chest were covered with thickened armor, and the helmet added multiple functions.

Finally, a wildly modified bolter with an exaggerated design was brought up by a mechanical arm.

Except for the flashy gold-red color scheme, it was a miniature version of a 'Space Marine'; Alvin was truly afraid the Emperor would come to him for copyright fees!

"Watch closely, Alvin!"

Tony stepped proudly onto the circular platform in the center of the living room, looking at Alvin, full of confidence: "This set of armor was developed specifically for you!"

Specifically, developed for him?

Alvin was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Jarvis, what is this armor called?"

Oh no!

Tony's eyes twitched wildly, and just as he was about to stop it, it was already too late.

Jarvis said truthfully: "Mr. Stark named this armor 'Anti-Alvin Armor', Mr. Valerius."

Alvin had black lines on his forehead, staring at Tony with unkind eyes: "Don't you plan to explain? My dear best friend, Mr. Tony Stark!"

The latter turned his head away with a guilty conscience, muttering: "It's just a name, I can swear to my ex-girlfriend, it is definitely not targeting you."

Fine, fine, fine, should I say it's worthy of being you?

The modified Mark 3 is one thing, but you actually named it 'Anti-Alvin Armor'!

So angry I'm shaking, when will psychics be able to stand up?

Alvin was so angry he gritted his teeth, swearing he would dismantle this piece of junk sooner or later!
