Trespassing on Private Property

Xia Yu used his Internal Energy to shout, and everyone in the base rushed out. Actually, there weren't many people in total. Tony wasn't there, and with Betty Ross and Coulson, there were only eight people.

Upon seeing the situation, Natasha Hawkeye and Coulson's expressions changed drastically, especially Coulson, who muttered to himself, "Impossible! The military is making such a big move, how could we have been completely unaware?"

As if deliberately designed to slap Coulson in the face, four armed helicopters appeared in the distance the moment the words were spoken.

"It's General Ross," Hawkeye confirmed.

Xia Yu turned to look at Hawkeye in surprise. "Clinton, what kind of eyes do you have? I used my Internal Energy and still couldn't see the people inside. This is impossible!"

Hawkeye gave Xia Yu a disdainful look. "Do I even need to look? Who else could it be but him?"

Xia Yu wanted to slap himself hard for asking such a question.

Seeing the military's large entourage arrive, the group, who had just finished training, quickly donned their full gear. Xia Yu also changed into his Armor and gently patted Hulk's arm, saying, "Don't be impulsive. Or I'll pin you to the ground, and you can only go up and fight if I say I'm going to."

Hulk let out a defiant roar, but still obediently nodded.

"Go and negotiate with them. Make sure Xia Yu and the others don't act impulsively. I'll contact the military immediately. Something's wrong. Our people haven't received any information. You must keep the situation under control." Nick Fury hung up on Coulson.

"Don't be nervous, guys. I'll go talk to them. Let's not make things too tense," Coulson said to Xia Yu and the others as he walked out.

The military vehicles didn't follow the road at all, instead driving straight onto the lawn. They stopped about twenty meters from the gate, and fully armed soldiers got out of the vehicles. Xia Yu glanced at them and saw that there were at least a hundred people. There were also tanks and other offensive weapons lined up behind them.

All the cannons were pointed at the group in front of the base.

Such a large-scale operation, yet it was easily concealed from S.H.I.E.L.D.. It seems Nick Fury's secrecy wasn't up to par. It's not something General Ross could accomplish by keeping it from Nick Fury; it seems someone else has some ulterior motive.

Xia Yu looked up and saw the lead helicopter slowly preparing to land.

"They're certainly putting on a show of bravado, but they've come to the wrong place to be arrogant."

Xia Yu quickly took two steps forward, and with agility, unleashed about ten palm strikes at the feet of the soldiers in front of him.

More than ten golden Eastern dragons roared out, startling the soldiers lined up in front. When had they ever seen such things before? Was it magic or something else? They all took a few steps back, their formation was thrown into chaos, and some even tripped over those around them in their haste.

The helicopter pilot, who was about to descend, suddenly jerked his hand and involuntarily pulled up a little. The visual effect seen by those below was that the helicopter, which clearly carried an important person, was about to descend slowly when it suddenly jerked and rose several meters in an instant.

Xia Yu even saw General Ross on the helicopter lose his balance and almost hit his head.

Xia Yu unleashed a powerful Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, blasting more than a dozen holes, each over two meters deep, into the lawn in front of him. The fully armed soldiers' formation became too chaotic, and General Ross bumped his head again.

The initial show of power was completely shattered by Xia Yu's single move, turning it into a laughing stock.

Before the other party could react, Xia Yu stepped forward and used his Internal Energy to intimidate the entire scene. "Who dares to trespass on private property? I have the right to kill you all on the spot."

Xia Yu was reckless, but his next sentence was quite clever. "Who knows who you are? Just because you're in uniform doesn't mean you're soldiers. Have you shown your identification?"

The Avengers all followed Xia Yu and stepped out.

Captain America swiftly grabbed the shield.

Thor picked up his hammer.

Natasha pointed her twin pistols forward.

Hawkeye draws his bow and nocks an arrow.

Hulk: "Roar!~!~!"

The six men intimidated a fully armed reinforced company, forcing them to retreat several steps.

These soldiers were in a tough spot too. They had been given strict orders before they arrived: under no circumstances should they fire without permission. Among this group were giant monsters, some of whom could unleash explosive dragons. If they couldn't fire and didn't retreat, were they just waiting to die?

General Ross knew he wouldn't be able to show off his power today, so he gave his adjutant a look. The adjutant picked up a microphone connected to a loudspeaker on the plane. "We're from the Department of Defense. We need your assistance in an investigation."

Xia Yu showed no mercy, "We haven't received any notification, and you haven't shown any identification. Whoever you are, you're trespassing on private property. You have one minute to get out."

"We have identification, and documents jointly signed by the Department of Defense and the New York Attorney General. I'll go down and get them for you," the adjutant shouted again.

"Don't come down. There are so many of you, so many guns. We are all elderly people, women, and children. What if you launch a sneak attack? How am I supposed to know you're not a terrorist?" Xia Yu pointed at Natasha, Thor, and Captain America.

"Prepare your documents and leave our area. We will arrange for someone to come and meet you. The timer starts now, one minute, otherwise..." Xia Yu winked at Thor.

Thor was smart this time. He raised his hammer and summoned a bolt of Flash that grazed the side of the helicopter and smashed it to the ground. The helicopter pilot was terrified and quickly maneuvered the plane behind him.

"Roar!~!~!" Hulk roared to the sky again. He recognized the people wearing these clothes; they had shot him.

The adjutant really wanted to shoot Xia Yu dead. "You call this treating old people and children?" he thought. Since no one had the upper hand, he could only turn to General Ross and ask, "What do we do now?"

General Ross wanted nothing more than to draw his gun and shoot the helicopter pilot dead, but what else could he do after retreating? He had to get out.

General Ross was also angry, but since the other party had gone to such lengths to feign ignorance, there was nothing he could do. What if they actually came up and...

They got what they deserved, getting beaten up for nothing, and all they got was a simple accusation of trespassing on private property without showing identification, which sealed their fate.

And so, the group boarded the bus and left much faster than they had come. Coulson quickly followed them out, and the person in charge of negotiating was definitely him; he was very confident.
