Taking on the Whole World Together
"Summer!!"
"Summer!!"
"Summer!!"
Several exclamations rang out simultaneously, but it was too late to stop Xia Yu.
The three corpses sat up on their own, bullets spitting out of the bullet holes between their eyebrows. They flashed through the air along with the spent cartridge cases on the ground and disappeared.
Xia Yu only covered these three people; General Ross was not within the range. He saw the three bullets retreat in the air and disappear completely.
General Ross instinctively reached for his pistol, and sure enough, there were three more bullets.
The bullets returned to the pistol, and the three men naturally came back to life.
But resurrection is useless; its only purpose is for Xia Yu to kill them with his own hands.
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone lowered their guard. Xia Yu was prepared and revived three people with a single move.
The crowd rushed towards Xia Yu, trying to stop Xia Yu from killing the three Congressman with his own hands.
But it was too late.
Centered on Xia Yu, an invisible shockwave suddenly appeared, pushing everyone away in all directions.
With a flash of light and shadow, Xia Yu had torn open space, and all three Congressman disappeared along with him.
"Stark!!"
The Captain shouted loudly.
"I'm already looking."
Tony immediately activated F.R.I.D.A.Y., mobilizing satellites to check where Xia Yu had gone.
Even though Xia Yu could disappear without a trace and no one would be able to find him, shouldn't we at least give it a try?
"Found it! It's still at the White House. Let's go there together!"
In just over ten seconds, Tony found Xia Yu.
"No need, it's too late."
General Ross pointed to the television hanging next to the liquor cabinet in the corner and said.
On the television screen, Xia Yu instantly turned three people into ashes with a single blow and coldly uttered a single sentence.
"I don't care how many of you share the same thoughts as these four bastard Congressmen today, and I don't care who you are. You hurt my friends, you smeared the Avengers, even God can't protect you, I'm telling you." (Writing this, I thought of Nick Cheung, and then my mind was filled with five years.)
After saying that, he tore through space and left, giving the president a warning look before he went.
While the president was cooperating with reporters, explaining to the public in detail what these Congressmen had done, he was also secretly plotting to find a better way to obtain the genetic technology for revenge.
As a result, Xia Yu's gaze completely extinguished any remaining thoughts.
Four people in total, including government Congressman, were killed by Xia Yu in front of the whole world, their bodies reduced to ashes.
At the Avengers Compound, everyone fell silent after hearing Xia Yu's last words on television.
Only Natasha was smiling because Xia Yu had sent her a message.
"I want to go for a walk in Chinatown, just to be alone and not worry about anything!"
The fact that Xia Yu could send messages automatically proved that he was much better, and Natasha finally felt relieved. As for what problems might arise next, she believed that they could always be resolved.
In fact, Natasha would have been extremely dissatisfied with Xia Yu's act of reviving the corpse and killing it again. However, some other things that happened today have caused everyone's opinion of Xia Yu to change in some unknown way.
"You're in big trouble now!"
General Ross sighed and said that he actually understood Xia Yu's actions. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, was the best way to prevent such a situation from happening again.
However, he is a politician now, not a soldier, and he has already provided the most satisfactory solution.
Since taking the position of Secretary of State, he knew this was the last post of his political career. There was no stopping Betty from following Banner, and his family had even obtained Godhood, meaning they could continue living in Sky City.
He actually leans towards the Avengers; he doesn't want internal strife within the Avengers.
However, he knows Captain America well; he's intolerant of any flaws. Given his influence within the Avengers, it's likely the Avengers will split up this time.
"In less than half an hour, the media and the public around the world will be in an uproar. You'd better come up with a solution quickly, at least to get past the public's hurdle first."
General Ross spoke as if he were one of his own, since he was still Secretary of State and could still mediate and see if things could be resolved peacefully.
The public's emotions were gradually calmed down.
"What do you think we should do? Take Xia to court or to jail, Mr. Secretary?"
Tony squinted and asked.
"No, nobody's a fool, Stark. We know there's no way to do anything to him, but the Avengers have to put on a show, acknowledge Xia's mistakes, and throw even more mud at those four dead bastards. We need to deepen the portrayal of Xia's relationship with the people in Chinatown, and ideally, get a few of his acquaintances to act out the scene, like how they helped take care of Xia after his family died."
"Once the public's emotions calm down, the government can put on a show with you, sign some regulatory clauses or something, and create the illusion that Xia is imprisoned in the base for everyone to see. Then things will gradually pass. When the world falls into crisis again, you'll suddenly appear out of nowhere, and everything will be over, right?"
As expected of a high-ranking official in the federal government, a complete set of follow-up plans immediately came to mind.
"It's that simple?"
"Honest man Banner asked the question."
"That's right, it's that simple. But at first, you'll be criticized by many, many people. But there's nothing we can do; you're the Hero, and Hero always suffer losses, don't they?"
General Ross shrugged and said.
"Let's go, everyone get ready. We'll go deal with the media together in a bit."
The Captain glanced at General Ross and addressed the group.
"Wait, Captain, we're going to apologize to the whole world, right? Should I prepare a speech or something, like when a celebrity does something wrong and apologizes, write a long letter of repentance, and shed a few tears?"
Ant-Man pulled Captain aside and asked.
"Who said we were supposed to apologize?"
The Captain stopped and asked in return.
"Stopping Xia Yu from killing was something I didn't think was the right thing to do, but he's already done it. We're family, remember? Let's go, we'll face the whole world and support Xia Yu."
The crowd dispersed, preparing to face the media and the public together later.
General Ross was left standing alone in the hall, feeling that something was amiss.
