Sharp Tongue Backstab (4th Update)
"Who are you? You saved me? Why?" In the wilderness of America, John Walker was brought here, and he looked blankly at the completely unfamiliar man in front of him and asked in confusion.
"..." The man glanced at John Walker silently without saying a word, and his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared.
"Who is he? He's clearly not someone I know, but why do I feel like I've seen his eyes somewhere before?" John Walker muttered to himself, staring hesitantly at the spot where the man had disappeared. However, he quickly shook his head. "Never mind that for now. I'll report this and let the higher-ups negotiate with Section 13. I definitely don't want to encounter that kind of monster again..."
"Vegeta, what just happened?" On the other side, in a fishing village in Panama, Jackie Chan gripped his shield tightly and walked over to Robet, looking him over warily as he asked.
"There was a formidable guy, but unfortunately I couldn't see him clearly. However, it seems he's connected to that person from before, so I rescued him..." Robet shook his head, saying with some regret.
"You didn't even see it clearly?!" Jackie Chan asked Robet, his eyes wide.
"Nonsense, I'm not the strongest person on Earth right now. This world is much more mysterious than you think. It's normal for stronger people to emerge." Robet said that he was used to mysterious strong people suddenly appearing. After all, that's how it is in the Dragon Ball World. Just when everyone thinks that their strength is already very strong, there will always be stronger people who jump out and start a new battle.
Robet was not afraid of such a powerful figure; on the contrary, he looked forward to it even more. Only a world full of powerful people could give Robet a continuous stream of opportunities to fight in the future!
"Now, let's deal with the Horse Talisman matter first..." Robet shook his head, looking at Mera, and asked, "Can you tell me why you helped those people recover from their injuries?"
"Do we need a reason to help them recover from their injuries?" Seeing Robet's gaze, Mera subconsciously took a step back, getting closer to the sea before looking at Robet and asking in return.
"Um..." This question stumped Robet. Yes, sometimes there aren't that many reasons. It's probably because after Mera discovered the power of the Horse Talisman, she saw some injured people suffering terribly, so she chose to help them and became the legendary Ocean Healing Goddess.
"I believe your intentions are definitely good, after all, I can feel that your energy is very pure. But sometimes, you also need to think about yourself. Now you are being watched by more than one force. Every move you make in the future will be watched by those with ulterior motives until they obtain the Horse Talisman!" Robet shook his head after coming back to his senses and looked at Mera seriously.
"Is it the same for you?" Mera took two steps back towards the sea, clutching the Horse Talisman on her chest tightly as she asked.
"We are the same." Robet nodded frankly. "You probably saw it just now; all the so-called injured people around here have been switched. If you continue to use the Horse Talisman to save people, you'll encounter the same situation again..."
"Of course, if you're willing to stay in the sea and never come out, it's fine for you to keep the Horse Talisman. It's safer than leaving it all in Section 13, but you have to promise you won't come out again!"
"You know I come from the sea?" Mera asked Robet with some surprise, one foot already submerged in the water.
"When you came ashore from the sea earlier, I sensed it..." Robet didn't know Mera's origins, but rather he had sensed the appearance of Mera's extraordinary aura.
"So you really come from the Ocean? Can your abilities allow you to survive in the Ocean? How were you born?" Tony Stark asked Mera with shining eyes, but his Mecha helmet obscured his expression.
Tony Stark kept asking questions. Tony Stark was quite interested in areas where he had no knowledge, especially since Mera seemed much easier to talk to Robet. At most, Mera would use water to trap people or gag them, unlike Robet who would kill people at the drop of a hat...
"At first, I was just curious about the human world, but when I saw some people suffering from injuries and illnesses, I decided to help them. I never expected it to turn out like this..." However, Mera did not answer Tony Stark's barrage of questions. She sighed with her brows furrowed, and a struggling light flickered in her beautiful eyes.
If she could, Mera would certainly want to continue using the Horse Talisman to help others. However, as Robet had said, the so-called injured and sick people had been replaced with individuals with ulterior motives. Mera clearly couldn't distinguish between good and evil in each person, and the existence of the Horse Talisman also affected her exploration of Human Society, even posing a threat to her life...
The Horse Talisman can indeed heal Mera's injuries and eliminate all negative effects, but it cannot make Mera immune to death. If someone sets a trap for her next time, Mera may not be able to withstand it.
"Sigh!" With that thought, Mera sighed softly. In the end, she did not choose to take the Horse Talisman back to the Ocean, but instead used water to wrap it and send it to Robet.
During their brief conversation, Mera sensed that at least two of the three people in front of her weren't bad people, because they hadn't used any force, ambushed her, or said anything strange...
Tony Stark:???
"By the way, here's a piece of advice: if you can, you'd better change your outfit next time you appear, since quite a few people have already seen what you look like..." Robet reminded Mera as she slowly sank into the Ocean.
"Thank you for reminding me," Mera nodded and said softly.
"I can help you delete the footage they took before!" Tony Stark shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.
With a splash, Mera didn't answer Tony Stark; her figure completely disappeared into the water.
"..." Tony Stark paused for a moment beneath his Mecha. "Jarvis, am I not handsome enough?"
"Sir, I don't think anyone would still think you're handsome after seeing a huge hole in your chest..." Jarvis pondered for a moment, then replied in Tony Stark's old, sarcastic manner.
"..." Tony Stark's lips twitched slightly. "I'll format you when I get back!"
"Sir, before you format me, perhaps you'll need to deal with these two gentlemen over there..." Jarvis cautioned. "Judging from Mr. Vegeta's previous performance, your Mecha might not last five seconds in his hands!"
Tony Stark snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and noticed that Robet and Jackie Chan were staring intently at him...
