Chapter 31

~7 min read 1,264 words

To become a superhero, one must have a trait, and that is the courage to come forward.

This is why even though Henry has the ability of a Kryptonian, he doesn't feel he can become the second Superman. Because when encountering things, his first thought is to preserve himself.

Although he has had nearly twenty years of "blank" time since transmigrating, not being kept in captivity, or being tortured. But he lived for thirty or forty years before transmigrating, and he has long lost the youthful spirit.

But Tony Stark is worthy of being a person who will become a superhero in the future.

Perhaps many people think he is just a hero hiding behind a steel suit, but they never thought his birth was to build the first simple suit for self-rescue under the siege of enemies.

And with the Mark 42 still charging, he still dared to bring weapons pieced together from hardware stores and break into the enemy camp alone to hunt down the culprit.

The steel suit is just the embodiment of his "money ability," even without the suit, he doesn't lack courage.

But honestly, Henry feels that this Tony Stark in his teenage stage only has the recklessness of a "newborn calf not afraid of tigers." It's like being in a hurry to prove something, easily putting life and death aside.

When such a person ran towards the dense gunfire again, Henry seriously considered whether shooting this guy in the foot would make him stop.

But in the end, Henry followed, guarding Tony's rear.

Now the Kryptonian's sensory ability is fully open, like a human wall-penetrating radar, staring at all suspected enemies.

Such an action made Henry notice a trace of disharmony from the enemy.

They came with a purpose, and the target was at this banquet, this is beyond doubt.

But so many people attacked, yet there was no command center. Although there was tactical coordination, it was more like a temporary idea.

The evidence is that the encirclement is not perfect, as long as you find the right direction and run hard, there is still a chance to escape.

And their search in the house just didn't interfere with each other, and there were always some careless omissions.

This made Henry think of the gold coin he found from the fallen gunman when he was searching for a short gun to replace.

He had seen the same gold coin at Tom, the broker and human resources agent in Alaska.

When he found this gold coin, he took it as a trophy into his pocket. Henry wasn't sure if Tony noticed.

Perhaps a mere gold coin, for this person's family wealth, doesn't count for anything. Besides, it was found from the gunman, so Tony didn't care about anything.

Now looking back, it doesn't seem strange that the Marvel Universe has a killer organization of this high-risk world. And it seems very normal for this killer organization to have a world-class scale and system.

For example, the Continental Hotel that uses gold coins as trading chips...

And the bounty system of the Continental Hotel has a feature, which is not prohibiting multiple killers from hunting the same target. The person who can provide proof of the kill gets all the bounty.

So killers have to cooperate, split the bounty; or kill each other, swallow it alone, are all allowed under the rules.

Only after entering the Continental Hotel, killers are not allowed to kill each other, which is an iron rule.

Usually, targets that are too tricky or have too low a bounty won't attract too many killers.

But the situation today, if it is really the Continental Hotel, this killer organization behind it, it can only be said that the target's bounty is not low, so it will attract so many people to come.

If the above guess is true, then the only gratifying part is that the quality of the killers in the Continental Hotel is uneven. Not everyone has the skill of Baba Yaga, that is, John Wick.

Just like the two gunmen encountered in the front hall. Even if they were close enough to reach, they dared to move the muzzle away at will. This is simply like asking people to resist quickly, and senior killers would never do such stupid things.

Besides, the six people who were just knocked down are about the same. Even if they were holding rifles and sweeping, they could empty the magazine at about the same time, and at the same time change the magazine, giving Tony Stark a chance to rush out.

Perhaps these people don't lack the courage to kill, but if their experience were richer, they wouldn't be easily taken down by this reckless young man, Tony Stark.

Hope the next enemies are also easy to deal with, Henry thought to himself, while firing a shot at the window of a room that didn't turn on the lights!

"Walter!" Tony immediately leaned against the wall to cover, and asked behind him.

"Hmm, I just saw a black shadow, so I fired. But nothing happened, maybe I saw it wrong." Henry said.

In fact, there was an unlucky guy who just climbed the window and was shot by Henry on the supporting hand, and the whole person fell down.

Well, the heart is still beating, not dead.

Tony said dissatisfiedly: "Be careful, don't expose us."

"Yes, sir."

Tony Stark, who just turned his head, only took two steps forward, and when passing a room door, Henry grabbed his back collar and pulled him back fiercely!

At the same time, a wave of bullets shot from the door. Tony Stark almost didn't become a sieve.

Henry didn't explain, this pull directly pulled himself and Tony to the ground. At the same time, the sweeping of the bullets also extended to the wall they were originally sticking to, penetrating the wooden partition wall.

The two fell to the ground, and this escaped a disaster.

Tony rolled to the side, not continuing to press on Henry. Asked: "What is this room?"

"Smoking room."

"Smoking room? Why does the smell feel wrong."

"You know, that kind of 'smoke' that is particularly strong and addictive."

Tony understood something, but didn't criticize. Instead, he quickly changed his head and feet direction, lay on the ground, and said to Henry: "Push me out!"

Henry understood the meaning, grabbed Tony Stark's lower leg tibia with both hands and pushed forward.

Tony, who appeared from under the door, held a rifle and swept at the people standing in the room with guns, and the sound of the exchange of fire stopped immediately.

Just when Tony Stark was about to get up, Henry drilled into the door at the right time and fired two shots at the gunman who had just jumped out from the sofa cover.

In fact, the first shot knocked the person down, and the second shot was just for show.

Tony, who changed from lying to kneeling, saw this, although he didn't say the word "thank you," at least he didn't continue to spray people.

Tony got up, went around the room, and found that the people in the room were either high to the point of not waking up, or were shot in the forehead and would never wake up.

However, the gunshots from other places didn't let Tony waste much time in this room. He ran out "whoosh," towards the direction of the gunshots.

Henry, who followed behind, only sighed, is this the gap between a salted fish and a hero?
