The weather had turned uncharacteristically cold, plunging to dozens of degrees below zero Fahrenheit in just a week.
Although some local residents had yet to leave, tourist numbers had fallen to their lowest level in Hawaii's history.
Robert had stayed in his hotel room all this time, occasionally ringing for room service to bring him food.
Then, at the end of the week, no matter how often Robert rang the bell, no one responded. He called the front desk, but no one answered that either.
The entire street where Robert was staying had been quietly evacuated.
"FUCK!"
Robert swore angrily, threw on his coat, and kicked the door open, heading down the long corridor toward the stairs.
The elevator was undoubtedly out of service too.
Just as he passed another room, its door suddenly opened. A Hydra agent who had been waiting for a long time lunged at Robert with a dagger that vibrated continuously.
Robert had anticipated this situation, but with his invincible self-detonation ability, he feared nothing!
Robert raised a hand to block the dagger's slash, and his coat was sliced open as easily as a hair against a razor's edge.
Then Robert detonated one of his body hairs. A small blast of air erupted beneath the dagger, shoving the Hydra assassin's weapon aside.
"Haven't enough of you died already?!"
Robert roared and drove his fist toward the assassin's abdomen. The assassin hastily stepped back to evade him.
If the assassin had been fighting an ordinary martial artist, that dodge would have been perfect.
But his target had superpowers.
Just as Robert's knuckles brushed the clothing over the assassin's abdomen, he detonated a small section of his middle finger.
A violent burst of flame and force sent the assassin flying back into the room he had just emerged
