Brutal Abuse

Natasha, with Dr. Selvig, put away the Tesseract and descended from the rooftop to the level with the aerial platform below. (In the movie, it wasn't clear how they got up from the rooftop, so let's assume there was an elevator for now.)

"Dr. Selvig, you can sit on the sofa for a while. They should be back soon. Thor is very worried about you..."

"Bang!"

A high-energy laser beam shot out from the corner next to the wine cabinet. The laser, about the thickness of a little finger, pierced directly through Natasha's left abdomen and shattered the glass window behind her without losing momentum.

"Who... are you?" Natasha asked Mar-Vell as she fell to the ground, clutching her wound.

Mar-Vell got up from beside the liquor cabinet and walked out. He was very cautious, and the gun in his hand was still pointed at Natasha.

"A foolish question. Isn't it enough that you know I'm the enemy?" Mar-Vell walked over to Natasha and reached for the Scepter and the box.

"I hate this planet, damn C-53. Last time I came here, I lost everything—my honor, my status. And now, for this damned guy, I have to come back to this planet." Mar-Vell pointed at Loki on the ground.

"But I also have to thank this idiot. If it weren't for his stupidity, how would I have had the chance to get back what I lost?" Mar-Vell crouched down and looked at Natasha.

"You won't succeed. You can't take these two things with you, I promise," Natasha said with difficulty, feeling herself growing weaker and weaker.

"Actually, I'm not someone who enjoys indiscriminate killing." Mar-Vell glanced at Dr. Selvig not far away. "I won't kill you."

"But you've successfully angered me, reminding me of another woman on this planet, whom I once admired so much, taught her, and even helped her become a great Kree..."

"I didn't expect this teleportation to take so long. Luckily, villains always talk a lot." A blue halo suddenly appeared beside Natasha, slowly opening up to reveal Xia Yu's voice, interrupting Mar-Vell's words.

"Spatial teleportation?" Mar-Vell, as expected, didn't get the answer to the question "Who are you?" He simply took a cautious step back and pulled the trigger directly into the halo of light.

Mar-Vell's four or five shots in quick succession did not affect Xia Yu's ability to step out of the halo. Xia Yu did not even glance at Mar-Vell, but instead looked down at Natasha's condition. Her injuries were quite serious, but thankfully, he had come.

Mar-Vell saw that his shots had left the other person unharmed, so he lowered his head to examine the woman's injuries first.

Knowing he was no match for the man, and having already obtained the goods, Mar-Vell quietly took a step to leave.

Just as Dr. Selvig was about to speak to remind Xia Yu, Xia Yu, without even looking up, reached out and grabbed Mar-Vell's arm.

"Did I! Let! You! Leave!?" Xia Yu looked up at Mar-Vell and asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Having just checked Natasha's injuries and channeled his inner True Qi to protect her internal organs, Xia Yu Yuteng then took care of Mar-Vell first.

Xia Yu simply grabbed Mar-Vell's hand and slowly stood up, without making a move, and there wasn't even a trace of anger on his face.

But Mar-Vell felt as if he were being targeted by an incredibly ferocious beast, one that could easily turn him into mincemeat with the slightest movement of its claws. He had experienced this feeling a few times with Thanos.

Faced with Xia Yu's overwhelming momentum, Mar-Vell couldn't even raise his hand to fire.

"Who gave you the courage to shoot my woman?"

Xia Yu's hand followed each word he uttered, slowly moving from Mar-Vell's forearm to his shoulder.

"Bang!"

Xia Yu crushed Mar-Vell's arm out of thin air with his hand.

The Kree uniforms are of fairly good quality, as evidenced by the fact that Captain Marvel hasn't changed them much in decades.

No blood or flesh splattered out; the part that Xia Yu was pinching just swelled up slightly, and then some blue blood mixed with bits of flesh gradually flowed from Mar-Vell's wrist.

"Ah!~!~!"

It wasn't until blood started flowing from his wrists that Mar-Vell felt the sharp pain in his shoulder.

"Bang!"

Xia Yu mercilessly crushed Mar-Vell's other arm.

"You're not so naive as to think that Earth is a place you can come and go as you please, especially after you hurt my woman." Xia Yu shoved Mar-Vell to the ground and stepped on his thigh.

"Xia, that's enough. Just kill him already," Natasha said from the ground. She wasn't sympathizing with Mar-Vell; she was just worried about the psychological impact of Xia Yu's actions. (Don't argue that the protagonist is psychologically fragile. In fact, every government department with a license to kill has professional psychologists.)

Xia Yu looked down and gave Natasha a smile. "I'm fine, darling. He can't die now. I still have some questions to ask him." As he spoke, Xia Yu stomped on Mar-Vell's thigh again, crushing it.

I had promised myself I wouldn't take any days off this month, but I still took tomorrow off. I'm so sorry, dear readers. Today I took my child to get her vaccinations; I have a daughter who's not even six months old! It was a busy day, and I have a terrible headache when I got back. I really don't think my writing skills are very good; it's just that the Avengers IP has given this book some popularity. Since the 1st, I've been updating more than 8,000 words every day, with a maximum of over 13,000 words one day—that's my limit. The key is that I don't have any drafts saved up yet, and if I keep going like this, I probably won't even be able to maintain my current level. So, I'm taking tomorrow off. I need to work on the plot. Yes, next I'll be dealing with Hydra and the fake the Mandarin, then going to Asgard, and then going on a space adventure, maybe even dancing with Star-Lord. Also, I'd like to ask for a few more five-star reviews; the rating has been pushed up to 8.9. I don't ask for much, just 9 points is fine. Thank you everyone.
