Strong Yet Still Cautious (Third Update)

The spaceship was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it traversed half the city, arriving at the tallest building in the city center: Wakanda's royal palace.

"Mr. Hawking, this way please!"

The spaceship landed on the palace's private platform, and Hawking followed Bibila the spaceship. Under the "escort" of a group of guards, they entered the palace.

After going through several twists and turns, he was led into a somewhat unusual, enclosed room.

"Mr. Hawking, please have a seat here for a moment. His Majesty the King will be here shortly."

"Your Majesty, the prey is in the cage; we may begin our operation!"

Inside the city's main defense control room beneath the palace, a holographic image popped up on the console—it was Bibila, the Captain of the guards responsible for bringing Hawking into the palace.

Sitting at the control panel, watching the monitor show Hawking entering the room and leisurely sitting on the sofa waiting, the Golden Leopard gave an order to a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old beside him:

"Shuri, did you hear me? Activate the confinement device now!"

The little girl gave the Golden Leopard a look of utter Abomination, but still obediently pressed the switch in front of her.

"I hope you will keep your word and not harm my mother."

"Don't worry, you're practically my cousin. As long as you honestly help me develop Vibranium Weapons, you and your mother will still be the noble princess and queen of Wakanda in the future."

The Golden Leopard stood up, stepped forward, and patted Shuri's head.

His cousin, Shuri, is the most intelligent child prodigy in Wakanda in all these years. At the age of thirteen, she had already successfully upgraded the Black Panther Suit and improved many of its technologies.

At only fifteen years old, he is already the most outstanding scientist in all of Wakanda.

If Wakanda wants to rule the world, it needs countless advanced Vibranium Weapons and equipment, so someone like Shuri is very valuable to it.

It's quite simple to make Shuri, this genius scientist, obey his enemy who killed his father and brother; just use the Queen as a threat.

"Get your filthy hands off me, you Coldblood monster!"

Shuri flung Golden Leopard's hand away.

The Golden Leopard didn't seem to care, and simply smiled.

"When it comes to being Coldblood, who can compare to your father, who could even lay a hand on his own brothers?"

"Shuri, I advise you not to have any other thoughts. If your device can't contain him, then you'll see your mother's corpse afterwards."

"I have studied all the information you sent me about him, and I have also disassembled those bracelets that control Mutants abilities, as well as some of the quantum entanglement devices."

Once the device is activated, this room can not only disrupt the space, preventing him from Shunpo, but also block energy from entering and suppress the energy within his body to a certain extent. Furthermore, the entire room is made of Vibranium.

At the same time, I have reduced the Sky's protective shield to only its basic concealment and shielding functions, and concentrated all the energy in the device in this room.

Even he couldn't possibly get out of here.

Shuri replied with a dim look in his eyes.

She had considered using some underhanded tactics to let the famous Super Hero appear, so that the two could team up to defeat the Golden Leopard.

However, the Golden Leopard was very cunning and had already moved her mother out of Wakanda, where she was imprisoned.

If the Golden Leopard does not make contact on its own initiative within a day, then its mother will be executed immediately.

Therefore, she dared not take any risks until she found out where her mother was being held.

As for whether Hawking could get out on his own, she thought it was impossible.

Since becoming the new king, the Golden Leopard has been controlling Wakanda's Intelligence Division to collect combat videos of Hawking and has also obtained many of the most advanced technological achievements from the outside world.

This device is the result of a year of research combining the best technology from the outside world and Wakanda, specifically designed for Hawking.

Its effectiveness outside the palace was uncertain, but with the Sky Dome Defense System as a backup, its power was increased by nearly twenty times, making it impossible for even Hawking, with his great abilities, to break through.

The device she invented is far superior to those Sentinel Robots that have a little Vibranium mixed in.

"Bibila, order the army to surround the entire palace and be ready to act at my command at any time."

After hearing Shuri's answer, Golden Leopard nodded and then issued another combat order to Bibila in the holographic image.

We must always prepare for the worst. If Hawking manages to break through Shuri's device, then he must quickly evacuate and detonate the Sky System, using its energy to destroy the entire palace.

If we can't kill Hawking by bombing again, then we'll send a large army to take Hawking down today.

"Hello, Mr. Hawking, I am King Erik of Wakanda."

"Given your assassination of King T'Chaka and the twelve elders, and your attempt to steal Vibranium from Wakanda, I hereby, in the name of the King of Wakanda, sentence you to life imprisonment."

"Turn on the microphone, "Golden Leopard said, looking at Hawking on the monitor.

Hawking sensed the powerful energy fluctuations around him and the noticeably less active energy within his body. He listened to the sounds coming from the speakers above the room, but showed no sign of panic.

He simply replied calmly and slowly:

"Oh, but I don't remember doing any of those things you mentioned. Do you have any proof?"

"Evidence, here it is, what I say is evidence."

The Golden Leopard's tone was full of arrogance.

Hawking shrugged:

"Alright, but even if it's life imprisonment, shouldn't they at least be given some food and drink? Otherwise, wouldn't that be impolite?"

"I'm sorry, no."

The Golden Leopard answered very decisively.

Given Hawking's prowess, Shuri wasn't confident he could create a weapon capable of killing Hawking. Therefore, the main purpose of this device was to trap Hawking, preventing him from escaping, and then starving and thirsting Hawking to death.

Without external energy replenishment, and without the energy replenishment of food, he felt that even if Hawking was strong, he would eventually die.

"You're really vicious. I don't think I have any grudge against you."

Hawking got up and touched the Vibranium wall encased in an energy shield. This defense against him was indeed formidable, but he had underestimated the true strength of his opponent.

That makes sense, though, who but himself could possibly know just how terrifying his true strength is?

His abilities are improving at a rate that is unimaginable to ordinary people every single day.

In fact, even without Great Ape Transformation, his full-force Kamehameha could forcefully break through the defenses here.

However, he felt that doing so might damage Wakanda's entire defense system, which he thought was unnecessary.

Because he doesn't need to go out at all.

"Your existence is the biggest obstacle to my plan. Only when you die can my plan succeed and Wakanda rule the world!"

The Golden Leopard replied coldly into the microphone.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Hawking's voice came through.

But it didn't come from the microphone; it came from behind him.

"Even if I die, your plan will not succeed, and you can't kill me anyway."

Hawking used Unlocking Charm to open the door to the main control room and strolled in leisurely.

Knowing it was a trap, why would he be foolish enough to actually put himself in danger?

He is indeed confident in his abilities, but that doesn't mean he'll act carelessly.

Back on the spaceship, he created a Wood Release Clone to replace himself. After leaving the spaceship, his main body went into hiding Legilimency Imperius Curse to find the main control room where the Golden Leopard was hiding.
