Goodbye Coulson (Part 2)

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

With a series of violent explosions, the towering altar was completely destroyed. Even the island trembled several times from the blasts. Near the Anomaly Point, hearing the distant explosions, Shen Fei and Ada turned to look at the smoke rising in the distance, then stepped through the Anomaly Point.

After that, Shen Fei directly closed this Anomaly Point. And when he left the cave and appeared on the altar on this side, he once again blew up the altar and the cave here.

If any archaeologist were here right now, they would absolutely fight him to the death. The patterns around the altar and the murals inside the cave were all precious cultural relics.

Although Ada felt a bit of regret about this, she didn't say much. After all, she was a spy, not an archaeologist. Adventure was just her hobby; she didn't want to become famous from it.

It was like rich kids who liked clubbing, skydiving, or racing.

As for Shen Fei, he wanted even less to be famous. Keeping a low profile was the way to go—this could be called Shen Fei's motto. If he wanted fame, all he had to do was expose his identity, and he'd definitely be a regular on the front page of the news.

"You're leaving." In New York, inside Shen Fei's Small Villa, no sooner had they returned than Ada said this.

"I have a mission." Ada smiled. "I've taught you everything I can. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself. Of course, if you have any tasks, you can give them to me—but you'll need to pay."

"Alright. Then first, help me with four things. The payment will be provided after I complete my research on the Enhancement Serum." After thinking it over briefly, Shen Fei said this.

"Let's hear it." Ada smiled.

"First, help me look into a missing child named Peter. He disappeared when he was about ten years old. His mother died of a brain tumor or cancer, I think. His father's whereabouts are unknown. The disappearance was about ten or twenty years ago." The person Shen Fei was talking about was Star-Lord, also known as an idiot.

Maybe it was because he'd been called an idiot or Star-Lord so much that Shen Fei only knew his name was Peter—he had no idea what his last name was. As for where he was from or when he disappeared from Earth, he had no clue either. Who remembers that many details from a movie?

"This condition is very hard to track down. Any other clues?" Ada immediately asked.

"Also, he's American. The place he lived should be a state with at least four letters in its name. That's all I know for now. There's no rush—take your time. It should be fine within a few years."

"I'll do my best." Ada nodded directly.

As for why Shen Fei wanted to find someone who had been missing for so long, that wasn't within Ada's scope of concern.

"The second thing is simple. I need Vibranium."

"I'll make some calls, but the price will probably be very high." As a freelance spy, Ada knew about high-priced items on the black market.

"Price isn't an issue. I need it as soon as possible. The more, the better—at least thirty kilograms." Shen Fei waved his hand, acting like a big spender.

"The third thing is that I need Blood Orchids. Find a way to get them, or figure out where they can be found—either works." The legendary Blood Orchid, said to grant eternal youth—this was something Shen Fei had only recently learned about.

He'd heard it from the hacker community. He had to admit, the hacker world had a lot of hidden information. Although much of it was fabricated to scam money, some things might be real.

When he first heard about Blood Orchids, Shen Fei was a bit surprised, because he'd heard of the name before—from Anaconda. At first, he thought the legend was unreliable, but considering that the Umbrella Corporation, Anomaly Points, and Marvel all existed in the same world...

Maybe Blood Orchids really did exist.

"Isn't that thing just a legend?" Ada looked a bit surprised.

Sure enough, no woman could be indifferent to the legend of Blood Orchids—after all, it was about eternal youth. Compared to men, women were absolutely crazy about it. In the underworld, the bounty on Blood Orchids was extremely high, especially recently, when someone had offered a huge sum. That was how Shen Fei had learned about them.

It had the same effect as the G-Virus inside Sherry.

Now that Shen Fei had obtained a sample of the G-Virus, making something for eternal youth wasn't impossible. But even so, Blood Orchids still played an important role for him.

Given that pythons that ate Blood Orchids could grow so large, the orchids should contain powerful life force—assuming they really existed.

"I know. But since someone recently put out a big bounty, they probably exist. Just keep an eye on relevant intel. Don't try to go looking yourself—it's very dangerous there." The giant pythons guarding the Blood Orchids were no joke. Ada's strength was decent, but going up against a giant python was still extremely dangerous.

"You seem to know quite a bit about this." Ada smiled.

"Well, I'm a billionaire now." The advantage of being rich was that as soon as you put out the word, people would bring things to you—that was what they called catering to your tastes.

For example, with food, there was a profession dedicated to preparing special ingredients for the wealthy: premium caviar, A5-grade beef, high-end truffles, and so on. As long as you could pay the price, they'd deliver it to your door, guaranteed fresh.

Food tastings, art auctions, antique auctions—there were all kinds of events specifically for rich people.

Although Shen Fei hadn't attended any of these yet, he'd heard quite a bit from Pepper. These were all things that high-society types participated in. Many of the paintings hanging in Tony's villa had been bought at auctions like that.

Shen Fei had never heard of any of the painters of those works. The most famous painting he knew was the Mona Lisa's Smile, and those artists were all long dead. As for modern painters, he hadn't heard of a single one—he wasn't in that circle.

The reason Tony attended these events wasn't that he found them interesting. With his personality of never considering others, he went to these things to pick up women.

As for so-called high society, as long as you had enough money, you were in.

As the mysterious chairman of the Feifei Group, he received no shortage of invitations—he just never wanted to attend such events.

"And the last one?"

"The last thing is that I need you to find something for me. But first, you have to find a book. The location is probably Norway. The content is roughly..." Shen Fei then explained what he knew about the Berserker Staff.

From the very beginning, Shen Fei had been consciously looking for books on Norse mythology, including various novels. At first, he thought there wouldn't be many, but when he checked, he realized that the number of novels abroad similar to those on Qidian was not small. As a result, he still had no leads.

Now he had no choice but to rely on Ada's help.

Of course, he could also wait for some chuunibyou to dig the thing up, but who knew how long that would take?

"Remember, once you find it, absolutely do not touch it. It's dangerous for ordinary people."

"It sounds like you know what's inside?"

"That's right. But as for what it is exactly, you'll have to bring it to me before I can tell you. Also, come back in a month—by then, I should have finished the serum." With that, Shen Fei stood up and continued, "Where do you want to go? I'll send you."

"Well, thank you very much." Ada said a place name, and Shen Fei sent her through a Portal.

"I hope you don't disappoint me." Among the four tasks, the last one was a test for Ada. If she didn't deliver the Berserker Staff, Shen Fei would have to change his plans for what came next.
