You're All Taking Too Long
In the lobby of the Avengers, Xia Yu, holding Natasha in one arm, faced all the Avengers, looking like a lone warrior facing an army.
Especially when Xia Yu asked everyone in a cold tone if they wanted to stop him, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
"Xia, someone has already paid the ultimate price for this. These three will be punished by law. That's enough. We are Avengers, not executioners or judges. We have no right to easily take their lives."
The Captain stepped forward and spoke to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu remained noncommittal, instead asking Tony a question.
And you, Tony?
Tony turned and looked around, and found that apart from Natasha, no one was standing with Xia Yu. Of everyone present, besides Natasha, he and Xia Yu were the closest.
Tony felt a little reluctant, and after a moment of silence, he tried to speak in a light tone.
"My opinion differs from the Captain's. I don't care whether these three bastards live or die, but you can't kill these three. We are Earthlings, we live in this place, and we must abide by certain rules. If we lose this constraint, we will throw the world into chaos."
Xia Yu nodded without saying anything, kissed Natasha's forehead, and gently pushed her aside.
Seeing this, Natasha lowered her hands and swayed slightly, and two magical staffs appeared in her hands.
Meanwhile, the Captain silently took off his shield and placed it on his arm. Tony opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. The Nano Armor fluidly materialized a face, covering Tony's face.
Tensions were running high between the two sides. General Ross was even preparing to take Betty away from the place first, because if this group started fighting, they could send the entire city flying from the air to the ground.
No one spoke, and just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and a fight was about to break out, Thor suddenly spoke.
"Wait... wait... you mean you absolutely must stop my brother from killing these three people, right? You want to fight my brother?"
Thor looked puzzled and scratched his head.
"Bang!"
Rhodey opened the visor of his Armor.
"Come on, Thor, were you sleepwalking? We've been talking for so long and you still don't understand?"
Thor's mind had indeed been wandering; he was thinking about the topic they were arguing about in the meeting room. Although he felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, he still followed the principle of asking first, since they were all on the same side.
"I admit I wasn't paying attention just now, but I don't understand, Big Brother killed these three people, right?"
"That's right!"
Rhodey nodded helplessly.
"Because these three people killed someone for their own benefit, and that person was Big Brother's friend, and then they tried to smear our Avengers, right?"
Thor walked up to the three men and pointed to the three Congressman trembling on the ground.
"Absolutely correct!"
Rhodey had a headache.
"Then let him kill them. They killed people, they deserve to die, and they're even smearing our reputation. Why should we protect them?"
Thor looked completely innocent.
"%...%&¥%*@#%¥"
Rhodey swore.
Ant-Man is a lovely and kind person. When he sees his teammates arguing with each other, he quickly steps in to smooth things over.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'll explain it to him. He's Asgardians and doesn't know our Earth's laws. I'll explain it to him."
After saying that, he patted Rhodey's Armor and, with a smile, began to explain to Thor the United States Constitution, the United States spirit, and the personal ethics that Hero should possess.
His motives were good, but he was too long-winded, starting his rambling from the United States Revolutionary War during Washington's time.
Everyone covered their foreheads.
Seeing this, Banner quickly went up to help explain.
The two of them grabbed Thor and launched into a rapid-fire commentary, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere.
The Winter Soldier immediately put away his gun and plopped down on the ground.
The red light in Scarlet Witch's hand disappeared.
"Hey, Scott! Banner!"
The Captain let out a weak shout.
"What's wrong?"
Ant-Man turned around and saw everyone staring at him with murderous eyes.
He gave an awkward laugh and said...
"We're on the same side preparing to fight each other, so we need to make our reasons clear, don't we? What do you think, Banner?"
Banner didn't speak, but Thor spoke up first.
"I understand. We're definitely going to have to fight, right? Okay, I'll go over there."
After saying that, he walked directly behind Xia Yu, turned around, and stood still.
"Hey! Thor, I made myself perfectly clear just now, why did you still go?"
Ant-Man said unwillingly.
"Oh, man, that's great! The story is wonderful, but I choose to fight alongside my older brother."
Thor gave Ant-Man a thumbs up.
He instinctively reached out to summon the hammer, but realized it was already broken and the Stormbreaker hadn't been forged yet. He could only awkwardly clench his fist and assume a street brawl stance.
Xia Yu glanced at Thor, Aether transformed into Armor that slowly enveloped his entire body. Everyone's strength had increased significantly recently, and wearing the Armor, he could directly withstand the attacks and kill those three people.
Rhodey fastened his visor, and Scarlet Witch flicked her hands, a flash of red light appearing, instantly turning the atmosphere tense once more.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, three gunshots rang out behind Captain America and the others.
Looking back, it turned out that General Ross had somehow gotten behind the group.
Three shots hit them between the eyebrows, killing all three men.
Even Xia Yu looked at General Ross with a puzzled expression.
You brought these guys up here so the Avengers could protect these three bastards and prevent Xia Yu from killing them. Now look what happened—you just shot and killed them yourself.
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, General Ross slowly tucked his gun into the holster under his arm before leisurely speaking.
"These three men colluded with Craig Wayne to suppress news of the attack on Chinatown and controlled the media in an attempt to smear the Avengers. The White House has investigated and confirmed this. I went to arrest them on behalf of the president, but they resisted arrest by firing shots, and I returned fire and killed them."
"I'm a soldier, and I always aim for the head; it's my instinct."
General Ross shrugged, looking at them with disdain, and continued speaking.
"The key issue is that you guys are dragging your feet for far too long... I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came up with an excuse for you. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
"You're a genius! A perfect plan!"
Ant-Man, looking delighted, went up and gave General Ross a high-five.
Only the Captain still looked at General Ross with a righteous expression. Everyone knew that the Captain never supported killing, especially when the enemy had lost their resistance.
General Ross gave the Captain a smile.
"I'm not a Hero, I'm a dirty politician, this is just my job."
The man was already dead, and General Ross had even come up with an excuse. He would naturally arrange for the body to be moved to another location to create a perfect scene, leaving the media and the public speechless.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons. But then, Xia Yu suddenly appeared in front of the three corpses.
"I said I'd kill him with my own hands, and even if he dies, he has to be resurrected first."
He extended his right hand and slowly rotated it, revealing a green energy bracelet on his wrist.
