“I just received reliable information that President Ellis will be attending a charity fundraising gala in [New York, Queens] tonight and will be giving the opening speech.”
Aldrich Killian said somewhat maniacally, "There's no time like the present... Now that our identities have been exposed, let's just move the plan forward... Have Dr. Connors prepare. Tonight, I'm going to turn the streets of all of [New York] into a mess!"
Eric Savin glanced at his boss and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Sir, isn't this hasty action a bit too risky?"
"What's more, if the boss... cough, cough, I mean that fake actor, finds out, he's going to be furious."
Needless to say, the boss in Eric Savin's mouth naturally refers to [Mandarin] Trevor Slattery.
After personally witnessing the terrifying magic he possessed, which could summon demons from the corpses of those he killed, both the members of [.] and the members of the [Ten Rings] were extremely fearful of this "new" boss.
Even Aldrich Killian was the same. When he heard the title "boss," a hint of resentment and fear flashed in his eyes subconsciously.
But then he said with a somewhat stern expression, "Hmph, don't worry. Although I don't know where that old guy went, I'm sure he won't be back for a while..."
"What's more, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. If we want to break the situation, we must be unexpected."
"As long as riots break out on the streets of [New York], President Ellis will definitely interrupt his schedule and return to [Washington] as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. In this way, we only need to set up an ambush on the way in advance to succeed easily."
Aldrich Killian's plan this time is very simple: to live-stream killing the president, and then have the vice president, who is secretly colluding with him, take over the presidency.
In this way, he can successfully clear his name.
After all, even if Maya Hansen makes everything public, as long as she doesn't have substantial evidence in her hands... Ah no, even if there is substantial evidence, it's useless.
Because as long as the vice president can successfully take office, Aldrich Killian has full confidence that he can completely solve this big problem through judicial intervention from the [White House].
After all, this kind of thing is a high-probability event that often occurs in [American] judicial history, and the public has long been accustomed to it.
The true interpretation of the beacon of freedom is: in the face of huge interests, the truth is worthless!!
And Dr. Curt Connors, in Aldrich Killian's eyes, has always been just cannon fodder to attract firepower and attention.
Although he still can't figure out what Trevor Slattery wanted him to bring Dr. Curt Connors back for.
But now that he has become the person in charge of [.] and the [Ten Rings] again, everything must be done according to his plan.
Aldrich Killian had already arranged this.
After the vice president successfully takes office, he will push all the blame onto this scapegoat, and then send him to the vice president to kill and establish his prestige.
In this way, he can not only perfectly clear his name, but also take the opportunity to let the vice president win the hearts of the people and increase his prestige. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
What?
You say why not push the blame onto Trevor Slattery? After all, he is the real [Mandarin]!
Please, Aldrich Killian has to have the guts to do that.
“Afterwards, have someone use AI technology to simulate the image of the boss... cough, cough, I mean [Mandarin] to issue a declaration. As for the punishment for Maya Hansen... let's put it off for now. She can't escape.”
For some reason, Aldrich Killian suddenly recalled the crazy words Trevor Slattery said to him before he left.
“Enjoy the time ahead. Your fate has been sealed. Complete the mission bestowed upon you by the [Changling Lord], and you can go to the [Hyperspace] to welcome a new life!!”
During this period, Aldrich Killian had occasionally heard Trevor Slattery mention the [Changling Lord] a few times.
But as a scientist, he didn't believe in these mystical things at all.
Even though he had personally seen Trevor Slattery use magic to turn many soldiers in the [Kweit Salem Air Force Base] into twisted and ugly supernatural creatures...
Damn it, this lunatic must have fried his brain from taking drugs!!
“Yes, boss.”
Eric Savin nodded with a look of admiration, and his address to Aldrich Killian unconsciously returned to the way it used to be.
And when he was about to leave, he was stopped by the latter again.
“Oh, right, remember to leave Tony Stark some surprises when you evacuate... Doesn't he like to watch fireworks? This time, let him watch enough at once.”
Eric Savin immediately grinned evilly and said, "Hehe, don't worry, boss. The unstable fighters injected with the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum] are quite terrifying when they explode."
……
In a laboratory.
“Hehe, is the plan brought forward?”
Holding a test tube in one hand and a pipette in the other, Dr. Curt Connors, who was standing in front of the experimental table conducting some kind of chemical experiment, showed a hint of eagerness and madness on his face after receiving the notification.
Perhaps influenced by the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum], his mentality is now in a state of imbalance.
And this all started a month ago, when he used despicable deceptive means to obtain the serum formula developed by Peter Parker himself from the drunken man.
After getting the serum formula, he returned to the laboratory non-stop.
Then, after more than a week of hard work, he finally successfully replicated the "improved version" of the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum].
He retained the ingredient in the serum that can promote the rapid division of self-healing factors, and appropriately optimized the ingredients that can cause mutations in the human body.
The reason why he took so much time and effort was because he only wanted to restore his missing right arm, but he didn't want to become an ugly lizardman like Peter Parker.
However...
Reality is always destined to go against one's wishes!
Curt Connors injected himself with the "improved version" of the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum] as soon as possible.
At first, the effect was as good as he expected. His missing right arm successfully "grew" out.
But before he could cheer, his body mutated and he directly transformed into a super lizard whose thoughts were out of control and whose heart was full of murderous desires.
Obviously, his improvement of the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum] failed.
So, driven by primitive desires, he killed all the researchers in the laboratory.
Afterwards, although he was pursued by the police, he finally successfully escaped the encirclement with his extraordinary power and self-healing ability, and ran away into the sewer.
However, even after he turned back into a human form, the desire to kill, like a second personality, had already controlled his brain.
“Thank you for Mr. Killian's support... Don't worry, I will turn all the people in New York into new species... From now on, no one will need to endure the pain of physical disability, and no one will be rejected by society anymore. I will create a world without regrets. I will create faster, stronger, and smarter new humans!!”
“But if I want to do all this, I must use the [Osborn Group]'s [Gana Device], so that I can use the new infection potion I developed to create an epidemic cloud that can cover the entire [New York], and infect the entire city in the shortest time.”
Eric Savin, who had been listening the whole time, pursed his lips and grinned, "Very good, Dr. Connors, then I wish you success in advance. I will send someone to support you!!"
…………
……
Tens of thousands of meters above the sky.
The [Sky Carrier] is moving at full speed towards [Miami]. Inside the [Bridge], Tony Stark is telling Nick Fury and the other [Avengers] members except [Thor] Sol about the capture target [Ten Rings] and Aldrich Killian's situation.
It is worth mentioning that three new members have recently joined the [Avengers]: [Invisible Woman] Susan Stone, [Human Torch] Jonathan Stone, and [Thing] Ben Grimm.
Under Nick Fury's coercion and inducement, all three of them finally chose to join [.], and then became new members of the [Avengers] as a matter of course.
The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Ba!
Although the three of them are still in the development stage of their superpowers and cannot use them very skillfully, Nick Fury believes that they should learn from practical combat experience so that they can grow quickly.
So this time, he specially brought the three of them along!
“So... what we have to face this time is a group of bombers with self-healing abilities, but who may explode out of control at any time?”
Black Widow pointed to the information projected by the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] in front of her and asked with a serious expression:
“Then why don't we just use the aircraft guns to raze their base to the ground?”
“Because the actual situation may be worse than that.”
Faced with the questioning gazes of Captain America and others, Tony Stark shook his head helplessly. "According to Maya Hansen, a man named Curt Connors successfully merged the [Extremis Virus] and the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum] together..."
“So what we have to face now is likely to be a group of lizardmen with great strength and self-healing abilities, and who can also breathe fire!!”
“Breathes fire? I'm best at this.”
[Human Torch] Jonathan Stone, who had been absent-minded ever since he discovered that he looked like Captain America, finally heard a topic he could interrupt.
He snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and a flame appeared out of thin air from his fingertips.
“How is it, very magical, right?”
Everyone immediately looked at this living treasure with the eyes of an idiot, and then couldn't help but look at Captain America, who looked like him.
It's not terrible to look alike, it's embarrassing who is stupid!
“If I remember correctly, isn't the leader of the [Ten Rings] that Middle Eastern man named [Mandarin]?”
Seeing that her brother was being stupid again, Susan Stone quickly brought the topic back on track, "And also, that woman named Maya Hansen, is her words credible?"
“Don't worry, she definitely won't lie to me. After all, we had a one-night stand before... cough, cough, I mean she and I are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. She doesn't need to travel all the way to my house to lie to me about this kind of thing.”
Tony Stark said with certainty, "According to her, that [Mandarin] seems to have left for something, so now the real person in power of the [Ten Rings] is Aldrich Killian."
“As for the merger of the [Extremis Virus] and the [Lizard Transpecies Gene Serum]... I should also be able to be regarded as having seen it with my own eyes, because among the trash who attacked my villa before, there was a lizardman... He was unscathed in the explosion, and then turned into a lizard and escaped from the sea.”
The expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became serious when they heard this.
If it is really as Tony just said, then the method of directly using aircraft guns to wash the ground obviously cannot effectively kill these lizardmen with powerful self-healing abilities.
Nick Fury seemed to have discovered some blind spot and asked with a burning gaze: "Where is that female scientist now?"
“I drove her away!” Tony Stark blurted out.
“Huh?”
Nick Fury immediately put on a stern face and scolded: "Why didn't you directly hand her over to [.] to deal with? Don't you know how dangerous the [Extremis Virus] she developed is?"
“Talent like this... cough, cough, I mean dangerous people, must be personally supervised by [.]."
Obviously, Nick Fury also had evil intentions towards the [Extremis Virus], which can release high temperatures and has powerful self-healing abilities.
Unlike Aldrich Killian, who was eager to mass-produce it, he could give Maya Hansen enough time to successfully improve the shortcomings of the [Extremis Virus].
“Uh... after all, our relationship was a bit awkward before, and Pepper was at home at the time. If I took her away, Pepper would be suspicious...”
Tony Stark gave Nick Fury a "you know" expression, but he was directly ignored by the latter.
Nick Fury asked somewhat anxiously: "Did she say where the [Mandarin] went?"
Because the other party had publicly executed the highest commander of the [Salem Air Force Base], Brigadier General Jeritt, thereby causing widespread panic.
President Matthew Ellis personally ordered that he be brought to justice at all costs.
If [.] can successfully capture Mandarin, it will definitely be valued by the president, thereby increasing the appropriation for the next quarter.
This is also the fundamental reason why Nick Fury immediately summoned all the [Avengers] members after receiving Tony Stark's relevant request.
. desperately needed an inspiring victory to demonstrate its necessity and value.
Otherwise, not only would that bastard Karl Mordo steal all the limelight, but their financial allocation for the next quarter would continue to decrease.
Right now, Nick Fury was practically paying out of his own pocket to maintain the Skrulls' operating expenses.
Even the landlord is running out of surplus grain!
