Security Team with Hidden Motives

Henry didn't believe that Brian Mills and his security detail had any designs on the washed-up actress. He was more convinced that they were using Audrey as a cover for their own mission, much like the "diplomatic" personnel at the United Nations.

And the United States agency that's keen to cause trouble abroad—the CIA—is the first name that pops into your head without much thought.

In short, apart from Henry himself and Audrey Hepburn, the naive and innocent leader, the rest of the delegation that came to Somalia harbored ulterior motives. The chaos was so extreme that it was like a horde of demons and monsters dancing wildly.

Even on this night when Henry was holed up in his room writing his visit notes, under the Super Vision and hearing of Super Hearing, everyone else was busy, except for Audrey Hepburn in the next room who had gone to bed early.

Some were contacting locals, some were transmitting messages using radios, and others were maintaining and inventorying their weapons.

Henry didn't think he was that lucky. Audrey's previous events hadn't involved anything like this; it was just a coincidence that he stumbled upon this spectacle.

He was even more convinced that every time Audrey Hepburn visited a place, similar unsavory things happened behind the scenes. But these things never came to light, nor did they cause any trouble, and each time the trip ended peacefully.

From their perspective, maintaining the actress's persona and image is actually a good thing for them.

Otherwise, if this Umbrella were to be breached and their actions exposed, it would mean they would no longer be able to use Audrey Hepburn as a cover to carry out their under-the-table missions.

So Henry had no intention of interfering with their actions. As long as his employer was safe and sound, why not let her live in a fairytale world, doing what she loved and wanted to do?

This time, however, Henry couldn't resist his curiosity. You could say these people were right under his nose, and he felt he had to see them, otherwise he'd be doing himself a disservice.

So, in his spare time, Henry passed the time by using X-Ray Vision to examine the documents carried by these people. He even developed the ability to read the documents page by page while using X-Ray Vision vision, and read through everything.

The content mainly involved contacting various local warlords to plot the overthrow of the current president, Mohammed West Asia Barre, and thoroughly investigating the strength of each warlord, including their military power and level of mechanization.

It remains to be seen whether this information will be handed over to the current president of Somalia, plunging the Africa nation into chaos, or whether the CIA intends to use it for other purposes and seek greater gains.

In any case, the Vulture- like United States still has that familiar flavor. The world hasn't become more peaceful because of the existence of superheroes and various extraordinary abilities; conspiracies still exist in corners that ordinary people can't see.

Or rather, those people became even more brazen as a result.

Just like the world Henry knew, everything, even medicine and virtual digital products, could be turned into a sharp blade to pierce the enemy. The more powerful, the more painful the kill.

The difference lies in who the enemy is in the eyes of those who wield powerful weapons.

Henry didn't interfere in these matters. Ultimately, this was a country of black people, not his; this was a universe with Mutants, Captain America, and Tony Stark, and none of that belonged to him...

During those twenty years of imprisonment, whether those years can be described as blank or tragic, Henry always carefully avoided things that might trigger his emotions.

Because he knew very well that once some things crossed that line, there was no going back.

What If...? one were to become corrupted and use the Kryptonian powers to act recklessly, the outcome would be either the Destroy of the world or the Destroy of oneself.

Of course, there's also the third ending that many readers would love: he becomes so powerful that he rules over everything, holding the multiverse in his hands. At that point, he can decide who lives and who dies at will.

The reason we embark on this irreversible path is mainly because there is no anchor point in this world, no harbor for our Mind Stone to rest in. Or, to put it more simply, a home.

Having nowhere to settle down can easily lead someone down a dark path, even if it means the world collapses and everything crumbles.

Even if you want to give up along the way, the consequences of taking that step will push you forward, no matter if there is an Abyss ahead.

Such people are the most terrifying to the world and to human society because they have no worries about the future.

Moreover, what he does will compel him to continue, because if he stops, the karma he has sown will inevitably return to him, and he may very well face death and annihilation.

What If...? watching classic black-and-white movies on an old television during his time in Alaska was a form of spiritual salvation for Henry, then...

Serving the lady sleeping soundly in the next room was, for Henry, no less than the first time in his life that this world had provided an anchor point that bound him to himself.

Henry did not reveal his past after coming into this world to anyone. Even so, some people keenly picked up on some information and reacted accordingly.

Both Audrey and Catherine, the two Hepburn ladies, treated Henry as they most often called him—"my child." Catherine had no children of her own, but Audrey was a mother who raised two children.

Although no one emphasized this, Henry still felt like he was being treated like a child.

In particular, the way Audrey Hepburn looked at Henry was not like the way she looked at a man, a life partner, or simply an assistant she had hired.

That look was like looking at one's two sons who were no longer by one's side, looking at this boy who needed care, and perhaps also protection.

Henry certainly had no intention of acknowledging her as his mother, nor did he have any lustful thoughts towards a sixty-year-old, past-her-prime beauty. But he had to admit that having someone around to care for him and show concern was a different feeling.

It's as if there's a place in this world that belongs to me, and that someone still remembers me.

Such feelings, of course, could not be tainted by anyone else. For that lady, Henry even felt that the rules he had set for himself could be broken.

He wouldn't go on a killing spree for that. As long as what those people did didn't harm Audrey Hepburn, he would turn a blind eye.

Anyway, no matter how messed up this world is, it shouldn't be his responsibility as Kryptonian transmigrated here. Henry doesn't have a single bit of the noble sentiment of taking responsibility for the entire Earth Superman.

Looking out the window, the occasional barking of a dog broke the tranquility of the night.

For Henry, this was his first time setting foot on the Africa continent in two lifetimes, and he didn't have any particular feelings about it.

The night was still the same night, and neither the hot wind nor the annoying mosquitoes were a big problem for Henry, who had the Kryptonian Physiology. Not only was he immune to heat and cold, but mosquitoes also couldn't bite through Kryptonian skin.

However, the conspiracies lurking in the shadows will not be halted by the existence of the Kryptonian.

Henry simply watched coldly, unless these conspiracies turned into a huge wave that crashed down on him or that lady.
