After Gwen left.

Su Yi checked the time and prepared to leave work.

When it was five in the afternoon, Su Yi closed his office door and turned to leave.

"Clock out," Su Yi silently recited.

[Clock out successful!]

[Received: True Sight Ward x3]

"True Sight Ward?"

[True Sight Ward: After activating the ward, within a certain range, all sight, detection, perception, and mental abilities from outside the range, including electronic devices, will be invalidated unless they enter the range!]

After reading the item description.

Su Yi immediately understood what this item was.

"It's like the True Sight from the Rune Continent."

Okay, it's a good item.

Su Yi nodded with satisfaction.

There were three in total.

He'd put one in the office later, one at home, and then he wouldn't have to worry about any external surveillance.

Otherwise, things like cameras.

Pure existences like Jarvis, Ultron, and Vision could easily see through any camera worldwide.

Could he feel safe with a camera installed at home?

Wouldn't that be a live broadcast?

Night fell.

At the Avengers base.

Wanda stared at the business card Tony had given her, lost in thought.

She searched the address on her phone.

She discovered it was in Manhattan, the most prosperous district in New York.

To be honest.

Wanda didn't want to go to a place like that right now.

There was a lot of criticism directed at her online.

Her mistake while trying to save Captain America had indirectly caused more deaths than the mission was supposed to save!

So, the internet was full of curses directed at Wanda.

They called her a Wicked Witch.

They called her all sorts of names.

This led Wanda to have two main thoughts.

She decided to stop using her powers altogether.

She decided to avoid crowded places.

She just wanted to find a secluded place to live alone, and that would be enough.

However...

Wanda also longed for a normal life.

To go out normally.

To have fun normally.

To be happy normally...

For these things...

Perhaps she had to try.

And the way to try was...

Wanda lowered her head, picked up the wooden business card.

Then she put it in her pocket, stood up, and prepared the clothes she would wear tomorrow.

A pair of ordinary blue jeans.

A gray, oversized hoodie.

This way, she wouldn't be immediately recognized as the Scarlet Witch the moment she walked down the street.

It would also save her a lot of trouble.

Meanwhile.

In the brand-new Stark Tower.

Tony Stark sat in his chair, looking at the citizen sentiments collected by Friday, and got a headache.

First, Jarvis was already gone.

It had become the current Vision.

Furthermore.

The data Friday provided, along with future predictions, was extremely grim.

At this very moment.

Half of the online discourse regarding superheroes was no longer positive.

And among those who supported superheroes.

Most were fans of a specific hero, not the concept of superheroes in general.

For example, Iron Man, or Captain America.

As for the negative information.

It was either insults or opposition, and that was it.

"Hoo~~~"

Tony sighed.

He crossed one arm and rested his other hand on his forehead.

"Sir, according to calculations, there are two most effective methods to quell societal opposition."

Tony didn't move his hand from his forehead. "Which two?"

"1. The Avengers resolve a world-ending crisis, letting society know that only superheroes are the last line of defense."

"2. The Avengers go into hiding. Based on the speed of information iteration online, the outcry will decrease by 70% in about a year, and approach an optimal value within three years."

"Or, completely expose the internal activities of the Avengers to put all of society at ease."

Faced with such an answer.

Tony shook his head helplessly.

"That's saying nothing at all."

Friday was an artificial intelligence.

It could calculate the answer, that was true, and it was indeed the answer.

But both of these options were impossible.

At least, impossible to implement in the short term.

The Avengers had finally assembled.

And they had just stopped a disaster.

Although Tony also bore significant responsibility for this disaster, but wasn't that just how reality was? Success brought glory, failure brought disgrace...

Without any turning point.

Efforts seemed destined to backfire.

Tony looked at a piece of equipment on a console.

It was a panel for neural networks and intelligent control.

He and Banner had made it together.

But now Banner was gone too.
