...
An inconspicuous toxic waste recycling station in an abandoned cruise ship.
Under the deterrence of Mr. Deadpool Leon, Ulysses Klaue reluctantly pulled down the hidden switch, and the toxic waste stored in oil drums immediately sank down like an elevator.
In its place were thirteen cans of raw Vibranium in special containers.
"These Vibranium are the most labor-intensive materials I have here, conservatively estimated to be worth billions. As the cornerstone of the empire I've built, they are now all yours, Mr. Deadpool."
Ulysses Klaue had a resentful expression, angry and vexed, but dared not act out.
"Mm~"
"Not bad, not bad~"
Although the amount of Vibranium in front of him wasn't much, with each can nominally 5 kilograms, totaling only 65 kilograms, it was enough for Leon to complete his next plan.
Don't think 65 kilograms of Vibranium is a lot.
You know,
Although 65 kilograms is almost the weight of a slender adult, and Vibranium, as a light metal, has only one-third the density of steel.
But if these 65 kilograms of Vibranium were a solid cube, its side length would be less than 30 centimeters, not much larger than an adult's palm.
After putting the thirteen cans of Vibranium into a sack, Mr. Deadpool Leon patted Ulysses Klaue, who was in a state of decadence as if his wife had been snatched away.
"Hey, buddy, don't be discouraged."
"I only want Vibranium, not your life."
"As long as you're alive, billions will come, and Vibranium will come too."
"I believe in you, Klaue, You are the best."
When saying this, Leon's tone was extremely sincere; those who didn't know might even think the two were good friends or something.
"Thanks for your kind words, Mr. Deadpool."
Ulysses Klaue showed a smile that was uglier than a cry.
After seeing off Leon, this great god, Ulysses Klaue's forced smile immediately dropped, and he furiously kicked the corpses of his subordinates on the ground!
"What are you faking? What are you faking!"
"Get up now!"
"The person is gone!"
"......"
Ulysses Klaue roared through gritted teeth, but the subordinate he believed was faking death remained motionless.
At this moment,
A nearby corpse suddenly 'came back to life' and raised a hand, reminding him, "Boss, he's really dead. I'm still alive, hehe~"
"Heh your mother, hehehe! Are you proud of yourself now?"
"Go to hell!"
On the other side,
After getting the Vibranium,
Leon first rushed to the Atlantic Ocean coast in West Africa to rendezvous with Arcee, who was on standby underwater.
Then, under Arcee's slightly speechless gaze, he stripped completely naked, leaving only a pair of super elastic fiber underwear.
Finally, he changed the Super Deadpool Suit back to the familiar soldier boy suit.
Leon then covered Arcee in motorcycle mode with his Biological Stance.
Together, they rushed back at Mach ten.
As for Deadpool's disguised identity, Leon intended to only use it when doing shady deeds, specifically as a scapegoat.
Normally, he preferred the soldier boy suit and Homelander's superhero identity.
"Why didn't You deal with all of them? Are You planning to..."
Slap!
Before Arcee could finish, Leon patted her rear fender and replied with a smile, "You know me best, Arcee."
The reason Leon spared Ulysses Klaue's life was to keep him alive to continue collecting Vibranium for Leon.
What was that old saying from apocalyptic novels? 'My neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary!'
As long as Leon doesn't stop getting stronger, dealing with a mere Ulysses Klaue is child's play for him.
Once Leon takes the entire Vibranium mine of Wakanda into his possession, then Ulysses Klaue will truly be useless.
...
Twilight.
Zhao Hailun walked alone on the streets of Manhattan, New York, looking back at Stark Tower every three steps, sighing incessantly.
Zhao Hailun was very troubled now.
Carrying the expectations of someone she admired, she wanted to make progress on the 'Regeneration Cradle' project as soon as possible, so she volunteered to work overtime, but was forced to leave by that person's secretary, Sharon Carter.
She said it was his instruction, that working overtime was not conducive to healthy physical development.
But she had clearly passed her development period; if she continued to grow, wouldn't it be too conspicuous, and her daily life might also be affected...
Zhao Hailun looked down at herself; now she could only vaguely see her tiptoes. If she continued to grow, what then?
Troubled, Zhao Hailun bought a cup of milk tea by the roadside to relieve stress; the supplement of sugar always made one feel refreshed.
Suddenly!
A homeless man holding a dagger ran towards Zhao Hailun from the front, shouting, with a young patrol officer chasing him not far behind, holding a Taser gun.
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
"If you block my way, I'll stab you!"
"Don't run!"
"If you keep running, I'll shoot you!"
The homeless man was caught red-handed by the patrol officer while high on crystal meth, but he escaped when the officer went back to his car to report to his superior.
According to the normal procedures in America, the presence of this homeless man posed a great threat to the lives of the surrounding public.
He could have drawn his gun and shot earlier, but this seemingly young patrol officer was clearly inexperienced and didn't realize this.
He still held hope of capturing the homeless man alive; if possible, no one wanted to experience the feeling of killing.
"Madam, quickly move aside!"
"He has a knife, it's very dangerous!"
The patrol officer anxiously reminded her, while his hand moved to the Glock in his thigh holster, but Zhao Hailun was already stunned by the homeless man's fierce demeanor, frozen in his escape path, unable to move.
"Ah—"
Pain and panic intertwined, Zhao Hailun was violently knocked to the ground.
"Shit!"
The homeless man also stumbled. Seeing that the patrol officer had switched to a real gun, he immediately changed his strategy and put the dagger to Zhao Hailun's neck.
"Don't come closer!"
"Put the gun down!"
"If you dare to shoot, I'll stab this little girl to death!"
The homeless man kept threatening.
Rip!
The dagger in his hand cut a bloody mark on Zhao Hailun's neck, pressing tightly against it.
It was likely that if the homeless man was even slightly provoked, even if he was shot in the head, he might cause irreversible harm to Zhao Hailun due to his body's instinctive stress response.
"Calm down!"
"Don't do anything foolish!"
"This is near Stark Tower; Homelander will be here soon!"
"Homelander my ass, I can piss him to death!"
"Mr. Leon..."
More and more onlookers gathered, the patrol officer's gun remained pointed at the homeless man, and Zhao Hailun was crying uncontrollably from fright, instinctively calling out Leon's name.
Everything,
Put immense pressure on the homeless man at the center of the vortex.
Just as he was about to put down the dagger and surrender,
Boom!
A whooshing sound came from above, and Homelander Leon descended from the sky.
His speed was unimaginably fast, and before the homeless man could react, he crushed his wrist along with the dagger!
"Ah!!!"
"My hand!!!"
The intense pain made the homeless man fall to the ground, howling.
"Mr. Leon!"
Leon's timely arrival immediately made Zhao Hailun feel an unparalleled sense of security. She rushed into Leon's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, crying even louder than before.
"It's okay, Hailun."
"With me here, You are safe."
Gently patting Zhao Hailun's back, Leon softly comforted her while looking at the homeless man, who was lying on the ground clutching his hand and howling in pain, with the same death stare as Homelander.
"Great, it's Homelander!"
"That beautiful girl is safe!"
The onlookers were mostly Leon's fans, cheering excitedly. The young patrol officer walked towards Leon and bowed ninety degrees:
"I'm very sorry, Homelander, I failed to protect this lady's safety and even had to trouble You to intervene."
"No, You've done very well, my friend, You are the real hero." Leon smiled and patted the patrol officer's shoulder.
Then he explained to the surrounding fans: "There's a time bomb embedded in this homeless man's body, and it's going to explode in nine seconds."
"Everyone, quickly disperse; I'm going to detonate him early."
Upon hearing this,
The onlookers immediately scattered like birds.
The homeless man looked bewildered, even the pain from his broken hand lessened significantly: I have a time bomb on me?? How did I not know??
However,
When he met Leon's death stare, he immediately understood that Homelander clearly wanted him dead!
"You've been tricked..."
Before the homeless man could finish his sentence, Leon threw him high into the air with one hand, then blasted him into dust with a fully charged palm blast.
Blood rain,
Fell from the sky.
But before that,
Leon had already flown away from the scene, holding Zhao Hailun.
