Conflict

At this moment, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were guarding both sides of Jane Foster's house, and two more agents were monitoring any unusual individuals approaching from a house across the street.

Upon hearing Captain Moses Leonard's order, a burly, blond Werewolf walked toward Jane Foster's Room Door.

When the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents spotted the four people near Jane Foster's house from the building across the street, they immediately identified them. The men's imposing physique, steady gait, and the aura they exuded immediately alerted them to something amiss. They then noticed that one of them was walking towards Jane Foster's house.

He immediately spoke into his headset, "Reis, stop him."

Just as Yaan was about to approach the room, a man in a black suit suddenly ran out from the corner of the left side of the house and tried to stop Yaan.

However, what Reis didn't know was that his hiding place had already been discovered by Yaan and his group, who regarded them as enemies who threatened Jane Foster.

Just as Reese ran up to Yaan, before he could even open his mouth, Yaan reached out and slapped him hard across the face. Even though Yaan hadn't transformed, his Werewolf speed and basic strength were something that an unenhanced Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't resist or react to.

"Thump!"

With a muffled slap, Reis was knocked to the ground by Yaan and immediately passed out.

Seeing the approaching enemy being swatted to the ground, Yaan didn't knock on the door. Instead, he swooped down and rushed to the right side of the house at lightning speed, appearing in front of a white man in a black suit.

Yaan delivered a powerful abdominal punch, then grabbed his opponent's head and unleashed a devastating electric blast, followed by a whip kick that stunned the enemy.

However, Yaan was incredibly fast, giving his opponent no chance to resist at all. He was knocked unconscious instantly before the opponent could even draw his pistol.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the building across the street witnessed this and immediately raised the alarm, shouting to his colleague beside him, "Contact base immediately, Jane's area is under attack by an unknown force!"

Yaan grabbed the other man by the leg, dragged him over, and threw him next to Reis, who had appeared earlier. He then turned to Moses and said, "Captain, it's all taken care of."

Moses nodded and continued, "Knock."

Yaan walked toward Jane Foster's door, and this time no one could stop him.

"Thump-thump-thump!"

A crisp knock sounded at the door. Jane, who was putting groceries into the Fridge, stopped what she was doing when she heard the knock.

She hadn't been here long; her professor and best friend had both left for other reasons, and she barely knew anyone. Why would someone come to visit? Could it be a neighbor?

Jane put down what she was holding, closed the Fridge door, and walked over. Opening the front door, she saw a burly, unfamiliar man and asked nervously, "Who are you?"

"Are you Jane Foster?" Yaan asked.

Jane glanced at the other person, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Yes, what do you want with me?"

"Hello, I am Yaan, and I have been ordered by our leader to come and protect you."

"Leader? Who is your leader? Do I know him?"

"We are under orders from Lord Charlotte to rise up and protect you."

Upon hearing the name mentioned, Jane thought for a moment before replying, "I don't know anyone named Charlotte, and I don't need any protection."

At this moment, Yaan turned to the side, pointed to the two Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. lying unconscious on the ground, and said, "There's someone lurking and tracking you in your house. You're not safe."

Jane looked at the two men in suits on the ground and covered her mouth in surprise. "My God, someone really was following me."

But Jane didn't immediately believe them. Instead, she said, "But I don't know who you are, nor do I know your leader. Why are you protecting me?"

Looking at Jane's question, Yaan shrugged. At that moment, Moses walked over with two other team members and said, "Ms. Jane, our leader is a friend of Thor and has been entrusted by him to protect your safety on Earth."

Upon hearing the name Thor, Jane exclaimed incredulously, "What?"

"Does your leader know Thor?"

"Did Thor ask him to have me protected?"

"Impossible. Thor isn't on Earth, and the Bifrost storm hasn't occurred on Earth in this short period of time."

Jane was delighted to hear Thor's name, especially when she heard that Thor had entrusted someone to protect her; a feeling of affection welled up within her.

But according to Thor's story, Bifrost is needed to bring Earth, and during this time, she has been researching these things and tracking energy storms.

However, since Thor left, no similar phenomenon has occurred on Earth, indicating that Thor did not actually reach Earth.

Seeing that Jane still harbored some doubt about their identities, Moses patiently said, "Ms. Jane, we are simply ordered to protect you."

"As for how our leader came to know Thor, we have no idea."

"It's precisely because Thor isn't on Earth that we've asked our leader to ensure your safety."

"Besides, you're not safe here; the enemy might be here any minute."

Just as Jane was about to say something, several Chevrolet SUVs drove up and surrounded the group.

Seeing this, Moses immediately ordered, "Sean, take Ms. Jane inside and ensure her safety."

At this moment, twelve Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got out of the three vehicles, pulled out their pistols, and aimed at Moses and his group. Just as they were about to speak, Moses, along with two other agents, took out two Assault Rifle from their trench coats and opened fire on the enemies in front of them.

"Da-da-da."

Six Assault Rifle opened fire first, immediately suppressing the enemy's firepower and forcing the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents to hide behind the vehicle, firing sporadically in return.

However, Moses and his men's weapons were all modified firearms from the Continental Hotel, and their power was astonishing.

The SUVs S.H.I.E.L.D.. were just ordinary vehicles, not armored cars. Under the enemy's firepower, casualties quickly appeared, and their sporadic counterattacks were far from reaching Moses and his two companions.

Yaan led Jane into the room and hid under the kitchen counter to prevent any bouncing projectiles from hitting her.

Jane squatted down on the ground, looked at Yaan, and asked, "Who are these people?"

Why are you attacking us?

Yaan shook his head and said, "We didn't know that when we found your place, we saw people lying in wait outside your door, and they were carrying guns."

Hearing Yaan's words, Jane was now seventy percent convinced of their abilities, but some doubts remained.

Who exactly is Charlotte?

"He knows Thor? Is he a god too?"

Upon hearing Jane's question, Yaan for a moment, realizing that this girl did not understand her leader.

Do you know about the God of Ninjas?

"Iron Man Tony Stark's best friend is our leader."

"We are here to protect you on his orders."

Upon hearing the titles "God of Ninjas" and "Iron Man," Jane immediately recognized them. Although she was a scientist obsessed with cosmic storms, she had heard of these two superheroes who had been heavily promoted in the past year.

It makes perfect sense that Thor's friend is the God of Ninjas.

After Jane learned their identities, she completely trusted them.

"There are many enemies, and there are only three of you outside. Can you hold them off?"

"Those ordinary people won't cause us any trouble."

Hearing this, Jian looked at the other person with some surprise, thinking to herself, "Could it be that they are not ordinary people either?"

"God's subordinates are probably not ordinary people either; that makes perfect sense."

The gunfire outside quickly stopped, and Yaan said, "It seems the enemy has been dealt with. We need to get out of here immediately."

At that moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and Moses walked in with two of his men.

"Moses, and Ms. Jane, we've dealt with the enemy, but judging from the situation, they weren't some low-level gang. We need to evacuate immediately."

Jane stood up and quickly said, "I still have some documents and equipment that I need to move to my RV. These things are very important."

Moses immediately said, "No problem, where's the thing? We'll help."

Jane led everyone to the equipment and said, "These are all heavy, and it will take the four of you to move them together."

Yaan stepped forward and easily lifted the inspection platform with both hands, saying casually, "Where's the car?"

Jane's jaw dropped when she saw how relaxed the other person looked.

"This way, through the back door, please follow me."

With the help of Moses and his three companions, all the machinery and equipment that would have taken several hours to move were loaded onto the truck in just a few minutes.

Yaan was assigned to drive, Jane sat in the passenger seat, and Moses drove his own vehicle as they evacuated Jane's temporary residence.

As they withdrew, S.H.I.E.L.D..'s second wave of support rushed over immediately, but they were too late and did not encounter them.

The second team of S.H.I.E.L.D.. members who arrived at the scene, led by Crossbones, immediately said upon seeing the bloodstains, corpses, and bullet casings scattered on the ground, "Quickly check on the wounded."

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who got out of the car immediately ran to the vehicle riddled with bullets and began checking on their colleagues.

However, after checking, everyone was disappointed; not a single one had survived.

At this moment, a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., looking at the bodies of two Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. laid side by side on the lawn outside the house, had already given up hope, but still meticulously checked them one last time.

Seeing that the other person had no gunshot wounds, nor any other bloodstains or knife wounds, he placed his fingers on the artery and nasal cavity.

"Sir, they're still alive."

As soon as the agent shouted, everyone's eyes turned to look.

"Put them in the car and wake them up to find out what happened."

"Yes, sir!"

On the other side.

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D.. database, Barton used his privileges to search for information based on the ritual symbols in the photos.

However, after searching through S.H.I.E.L.D..'s intelligence, Barton did not find an exact record of the same pattern, but he did find quite a few records of sacrifices.

However, these are all sacrificial rituals performed by cult lunatics in a brainless manner. In reality, no extraordinary or supernatural events occurred; it was all the delusions of madmen and deceptive cult beliefs.

Barton sighed, having found no useful intelligence, but his years of intuition told him that this mission was no easy task.

Barton arrived at the equipment depot, where he was provided with a large quantity of Special Arrowhead and arrows, as well as some weapons and equipment. He also requested two fully-equipped armed squads.

The special operations team consists of 9 people: 1 Captain, 2 people in the machine gun support team (including a machine gunner and assistant) responsible for fire support, 1 sniper rifleman responsible for sniping key enemy targets, and 5 people in the assault team responsible for assault missions.

Barton equipped these special operations teams with all the necessary weapons and equipment, including heavy firepower such as RPG Rocket.

Barton brought two such fully armed squads with him; anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to a third country to start a war or coup.

After everything was prepared, Barton had everyone load all the equipment onto the plane, and then, along with 18 special operations members, boarded a S.H.I.E.L.D.. military transport plane and headed to Africa.

Six hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After a conversation with Tony, all of Kankuro's Crow Puppet parts were delivered.

Kankuro's Puppet parts are all made of Gold-Titanium Alloy, and the color is all jet black, unlike Tony's which uses gold-red.

Once Puppet parts were in place, Kankuro immediately began assembling them, and soon a Crow made of Gold-Titanium Alloy was created.

However, it was not the complete form of the Crow, because Kankuro's new Puppet at this time did not have its weapons coated with poison, nor were it equipped with any hidden weapons such as Poison Gas Grenade.

Kankuro flexed his fingers, connecting the Chakra Threads to the Puppet, and immediately began to control the new Puppet to move.

After some manipulation, Kankuro felt that there were no problems controlling the Puppet at the moment, but he was still unsure about its actual effectiveness and needed to test it.

Seeing that Kankuro could now control the Crow normally, Tony, who had been watching closely, said, "How about we go outside and test it out?"

Kankuro thought for a moment and then agreed.

"Good!"

Upon hearing Kankuro's agreement, Tony instructed, "Jarvis, check the surrounding waters for any approaching ships."

"Notify S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the military that a three-nautical-mile zone around my residence is under martial law and no vessels or yachts are permitted to approach."

Tony knew that although the sea area below the Villa was close to the cliff and no yachts usually came to play there, special circumstances could not be ruled out.
