Blonsky resigned himself to his fate, glanced at Roy, lowered his head, and lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing how obedient he was, Roy did not make things any harder for him. He dispelled the Chidori Blade and put the Kusanagi Sword back into the System Space.

The next second, he used Flying Thunder God and instantly vanished from the street, returning to the rooftop of a nearby building.

The moment he returned to the rooftop, Tony flew over and asked, "What kind of metal was that sword you used just now made from?"

"It was made from ordinary metal."

Roy responded.

Although he had a fairly good relationship with Tony, he had no intention of telling him the truth about the Kusanagi Sword.

"A sword made from ordinary metal couldn't possibly have that kind of power. Was it because it was wrapped in lightning?"

Tony quickly asked.

He had already tested Blonsky's physical defense with all kinds of weapons from the Mark VI.

In terms of durability, Blonsky's body was not much different from a body of steel.

Yet Roy, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, had chopped off Blonsky's right arm and right leg as easily as slicing vegetables.

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Tony opened his helmet's faceplate, looked at Roy curiously, and continued, "Exactly how many superpowers do you have?"

"Not that many. Just a few dozen."

Roy casually replied.

Tony did not continue asking which superpowers Roy possessed. He turned to look at Blonsky lying in the street and slowly said, "It's getting late. I should head back first."

"Do you need me to send you back?"

Roy asked.

The Mark VI was fast.

But flying across the United States, from New York back to Los Angeles, meant covering more than 4,500 kilometers.

"If you're willing to use Teleportation to send me back, that would be perfect."

Tony did not refuse and quickly replied.

"Sure."

Without hesitation, Roy grabbed Tony by the shoulder and decisively used Flying Thunder God.

In just an instant, he brought Tony back to his seaside mansion in Los Angeles.

"Teleportation really is convenient. Thanks."

Tony said with a sigh.

"No need to thank me. It was nothing."

After saying that, Roy used Flying Thunder God again and returned from Tony's mansion to the villa on the Upper East Side.

After putting the Red Cloud Robe and mask back into the System Space, he went to sit on the sofa in the living room and turned on the television.

Every news channel in New York was broadcasting the situation in Brooklyn live, with their cameras trained on Blonsky lying on the ground.

Although Blonsky lay motionless on the ground, not a single police officer or reporter dared to approach him.

Blonsky had merely stopped moving and was lying there quietly. He was not dead.

Roy took out his phone, opened the call log, and dialed the number General Ross had used earlier.

The call was answered quickly.

"I'll be there in another three minutes."

General Ross said loudly.

From the background noise, he was currently on a helicopter.

"Before you take Blonsky away, remember to transfer the payment to the same account as last time."

Roy said slowly.

"Fine. I'll arrange the transfer right away."

General Ross quickly responded.

Roy said nothing more and hung up.

A minute later, he received a deposit notification from the bank.

After counting the zeros after the 5 and confirming the amount was correct, he nodded in satisfaction and sighed inwardly.

Military money really was easy to make!

No wonder Agent Smith, who investigated the military's accounts, had gotten himself killed!

Just as he finished sighing, the system notification for completing the commission appeared in his vision.

[Commission: Capture "Abomination" Blonsky] [Commission Status: Completed] [Commission Reward: Kekkei Genkai · Magnet Release (Sent)]

After closing the information panel, Roy read through the system's description of Magnet Release.

Magnet Release transformed highly condensed chakra into magnetic force, allowing the user to freely control naturally occurring gold dust or iron through magnetism.

In the Naruto World, there were six people who could use Magnet Release.

They were the Third Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage, Gaara, Sunagakure's new-generation ninja Shinki, Kumogakure's Toroi, and Naruto, who had absorbed Shukaku.

The Fourth Kazekage and Gaara could use Magnet Release to control gold dust.

The Third Kazekage and Shinki could use Magnet Release to control iron sand.

Toroi's Magnet Release could magnetize targets he struck, causing subsequent attacks to automatically latch onto and track them.

For example, he could magnetize shuriken and give them an automatic target-locking function.

Naruto's Magnet Release came from Shukaku, so like Shukaku's Magnet Release, it had sealing effects.

As for Shukaku.

Shukaku was naturally capable of Wind Release and Magnet Release.

But Shukaku's development of Magnet Release was rather limited, merely combining Magnet Release with sealing techniques.

After becoming the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Roy gained Shukaku's Magnet Release: Sealing Technique, as well as the ability to use Magnet Release: Rasengan by borrowing Shukaku's chakra, just like Naruto.

Although he could also use Magnet Release, borrowing Shukaku's chakra to do so was completely different from possessing the Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release himself.

If nothing else, Kekkei Genkai: Magnet Release was much more convenient to use.

After reading through the system's description of Magnet Release, he wasted no time and immediately used Magnet Release, transforming his refined chakra into magnetic force.

Although he had only just acquired Magnet Release, converting chakra into magnetic force to control magnetic materials affected by it was Magnet Release's most basic ability.

Under his control, kitchen knives flew out one after another and hovered in front of him.

Not bad!

He was basically Magneto from the original X-Men film trilogy now!

Magneto's superpower was controlling magnetic fields.

But in the original film trilogy, it looked more like he could control metal.

After sending the floating knives back to the kitchen, Roy turned off the television, got up, and headed toward the bathroom where Gwen was showering.

As everyone knew, girls took a long time to shower and put on makeup.

Even now, Gwen had not come out of the bathroom.

Before long, he arrived at the bathroom door.

Hearing the sound of running water inside, he did not hesitate and opened the bathroom door before walking in.

Not long after, sounds unsuitable for children echoed from the bathroom.

More than an hour later.

Roy used Flying Thunder God to send Gwen home.

Before sending Gwen home, he briefly told her about going out to deal with Blonsky.

There was nothing worth hiding about it.

Even if he did not tell her, Gwen could see it in the news.

The next afternoon.

As usual, Roy went to the Michelin restaurant near the villa for lunch.

While waiting for his food, he took out his phone and browsed the news.

"Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Masked Man Join Forces to Capture Rampaging Superhuman!"

"Incompetent Military! Superhuman Threatens New York Residents!"

"Who Exactly Is Masked Man? A Military Superhuman Soldier or Tony Stark's Secret Bodyguard?"

"Shocking! The Unknown Romance Between Iron Man and Spider-Man!"

"Tony Stark's Male Favorite, Spider-Man's Hidden Confession of Love!"

Roy had only wanted to browse some serious coverage about the previous night's events.

Instead, he found reports trending online claiming that Tony was bisexual and that he and Spider-Man were secret lovers.

Not only had Roy not expected it, neither Tony nor Peter had expected reporters to portray them as a gay couple who had been in love for years simply because the Mark VI and Spider-Man's suit both used red as their primary color.

One lived in Los Angeles while the other lived in New York. They were not even in the same city.

But in the reports, that became proof that they were separated by distance, one in the east and one in the west, jointly protecting the United States.

Tony refusing to let Peter join the fight so Peter would not interfere with his testing of the Mark VI's firepower was portrayed as Tony not wanting to see Peter get hurt.

Even Roy's final intervention was described by those gossip reporters as Tony not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his lover, so he had specifically asked Roy to deal with Blonsky as quickly as possible.
