Rejection

Ah!

The crowd was terrified and fled into shops and toward the distance. The Blood God Lizard laughed wildly as he fought Iron Man, who had caught up to him, while crazily devouring blood with Bloodlight. Iron Man was completely unable to stop him.

"Hmph, superheroes."

Wang Nanxuan shook his head, pulling those filled with despair and fear into the Illusion Realm and beginning to sign Contracts with them.

Everyone feared death. This time, at least eighty percent of the people on the street chose to trade their souls after death to Wang Nanxuan. Wang Nanxuan nodded in satisfaction and used Demon King Teleportation to send Howard, Trask, and a large number of Robots onto the street.

Howard and Trask did not waste any words. They immediately attacked the Blood God Lizard. At the same time, a large number of Robots descended from the sky, rescuing the people on the street and inside the shops.

Tony sighed in relief at the sight. Without bothering to ask Howard what was going on, he joined forces with them and launched an attack.

"Get lost, all of you!"

The Blood God Lizard opened his mouth and fiercely blasted a beam of Bloodlight at Howard. Howard raised his shield to block it, his body rapidly sliding backward and leaving two deep trails in the street.

"You Vampires are even uglier than Mutants."

Trask raised his hand, and a Laser shot out with a howl, piercing through the Blood God Lizard's chest. Unfortunately, the Blood God Lizard's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Trask swung his arm, trying to slice the Blood God Lizard apart. But just as he cut halfway through, the Blood God Lizard fled to the side. Then Bloodlight flashed, and his wound instantly healed.

"Useless. I am a god."

The Blood God Lizard laughed loudly and abruptly appeared in front of Trask. His claw, sharp as a blade, viciously stabbed into Trask's steel chest. Trask did not care and transformed both his hands and feet into shackles, locking down the Blood God Lizard.

Immediately afterward, dazzling electric light lit up Trask's entire body. The Blood God Lizard screamed miserably from the shock and hurriedly expended a large amount of energy, turning into blood to escape from Trask.

At that moment, Whistler, Spider-Man, and the others caught up. Seeing them, the Blood God Lizard transferred away again. He had to keep absorbing blood, or he would not be able to defeat these people.

Left with no choice, everyone continued chasing after him.

Wherever the Blood God Lizard went, fear and despair spread. Wang Nanxuan mercilessly harvested the civilians' souls while also dispatching Robots to rescue them.

"This guy is really cooperative."

Wang Nanxuan was quite pleased. However, this good fortune probably would not last long, because Kamar-Taj would most likely intervene. After all, the Blood God belonged to the Magic side.

"Damn Robots!"

The Blood God Lizard roared repeatedly in fury. Before he could devour much blood, the others had already been rescued. Even more irritatingly, those flies had caught up again. He gritted his teeth and let out a monstrous howl that echoed throughout the city.

Hearing the howl, every Vampire and Lizardman in the city rushed toward the commercial district. Coulson discovered the situation immediately and reported, "Director, Deacon is calling the Vampires and Lizardmen. There are still quite a few Vampires. As for the Lizardmen, there are more than a dozen fully transformed ones and dozens of partially transformed ones."

"We must eliminate Deacon before the Vampires and Lizardmen arrive. Have the police evacuate the surrounding civilians. Also, broadcast shelter notices on television, Twitter, and TikTok."

Nick Fury shouted, "Notify Natasha and have her seek help from Ghost Rider. Also, tell her to keep communications open. I want to hear her conversation with Ghost Rider."

"Seek help from Ghost Rider?"

Coulson was stunned. Nick Fury said, "Do it."

At Rebirth Group, Natasha received the order and finally understood why Director Fury had made her stay here. Without wasting any words, she immediately entered the chairman's office.

Susan, who was watching the news with Wang Nanxuan, turned to glance at Natasha and asked in surprise, "Natalie, is something wrong?"

Natasha got straight to the point. "Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Natasha Romanoff. The situation is urgent. We hope you can step in and save Manhattan."

"You're an agent?"

Susan was dumbfounded and somewhat angry. Wang Nanxuan patted her hand and said, "Not interested. Also, you're fired—the kind without severance."

Natasha said, "Mr. Wang, Manhattan desperately needs your help right now. Otherwise, many people will die. As an Angel, you can't just watch innocent civilians get killed!"

"Emotional blackmail?"

Wang Nanxuan laughed. "Sure. I remember your director is called Nick Fury. Tell him to jump off the building right now. As long as he dies, I'll immediately go save people."

Natasha was stunned. Wang Nanxuan sneered, "You won't do it? Do you people have any conscience at all? You're unwilling to trade one life for so many?"

Wasn't it just emotional blackmail? It wasn't as if he could not do it too.

Natasha was speechless. She looked toward Susan, who seemed to have a strong sense of justice, and said, "Susan, the situation is terrible right now. Many people have already died. Only Ghost Rider can save New York."

Susan hesitated before saying, "Natalie, Andrew can't act casually. Otherwise, he'll lose control. When that happens, he'll set the entire city ablaze."

Without question, this was an excuse Wang Nanxuan had come up with, but it fit Ghost Rider's character perfectly.

"We can discuss the terms..."

Natasha was half-convinced, half-doubtful. Just as she wanted to say more, Wang Nanxuan waved his hand. "Leave. I won't help you. Whether it's you or that director from before, both of you are full of sin. Honestly, if I transform, you'll be the first ones I burn to death."

Natasha's expression changed slightly. She said, "I was indeed full of sin in the past, but I'm working hard to atone for it now. S.H.I.E.L.D. has always been protecting this world."

"Nice words. Some sins can't be atoned for."

Wang Nanxuan sneered. "I don't believe a woman who once deliberately murdered a Match Girl and made her suffer worse than death could sincerely repent."

"You murdered a little girl?"

Susan cried out in shock. In America, anything involving children was a high-voltage issue.

With an old wound in her heart ripped open, Natasha's face turned pale. She did have some conscience, after all. Then she seemed to realize something and asked in shock, "Wait, are you saying that little girl didn't die and only suffered worse than death?"

"No, she didn't. You look a little disappointed?"

"Where is she?"

Natasha hurriedly asked. If Antonia was not dead, then what about Drakov? Was he still alive too?

Wang Nanxuan shook his head. "I don't know."

"You don't know?"

Natasha nearly cursed out loud. He spoiled things halfway through and then said he did not know? Was he messing with her?

"I can only see sins."

Wang Nanxuan said, "Your organization is too evil. I won't cooperate with you, and you don't need to spout those high-sounding words. Your organization is full of lies, especially that director of yours. He's covered in schemes and lies.

"For example, he once said his left eye was blinded because he trusted the wrong person. But in reality, his left eye was scratched blind by a cat while he was petting it."

Natasha was dumbfounded. The people at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Branch were equally dumbfounded. Everyone stared at Nick Fury with their mouths agape; it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Even with Nick Fury's thick skin, he felt a little awkward at that moment. Fortunately, he was Black, so no one could see the color of his face. He said expressionlessly, "Don't you have work to do?"
