CIATB Chapter 121 Losing Both Wife and Army
Chapter 121 Losing Both Wife and Army
After this battle, everyone's understanding of Spider-Man in Black was refreshed once again.
Even General Ross, known for his fiery temper and unyielding nature, witnessed firsthand the one-sided, brutal battle through satellite surveillance footage. He couldn't help but understand why a berserk monster like Hulk would obediently follow Spider-Man's orders.
You call this humanoid monster a street hero who can only fight small-time?!
In just a few days, the speed he has shown has increased several times compared to when he fought the Super Abomination!
God knows how many other skills this guy has up his sleeve!
If this angers Riley, and he pushes him into the camp of the other four of the five great philanthropists on Earth, especially the virtuous Rabbit...
General Ross simply couldn't imagine how much Spider-Man's existence would change the course of the world!
Putting everything else aside, just consider using those abilities to assassinate high-ranking officials?
General Ross dares to draw conclusions now...
As long as the target is still a carbon-based life form, no one can escape Spider-Man's pursuit!
With strength measured in tons, being able to fight a gamma monster like the Hulk head-on is already impressive. But now, without warning, he's given everyone a huge "surprise," demonstrating terrifying supersonic speed!
If a Spider-Man with murderous intent were to target him, how many people could withstand it?
One kill after another without a sound, a 100% success rate in decapitation strikes, even more terrifying than the Winter Soldier back in the day! Can't we just have some fun anymore?!
It was precisely this realization that led General Ross to sincerely admire Sheriff Black's foresight and resourcefulness in his tireless efforts...
Sheriff Black has indeed shown exceptional abilities to have led District 13 for so many years!
He resolutely decided that from now on, he must be like Commissioner Black. Not only would he not be an enemy of Spider-Man, but he would also support Spider-Man's actions as much as possible, further improving their relationship!
After all, given Spider-Man's modus operandi, supporting his operations wouldn't cost much. In the end, only local criminals would suffer, making it a win-win situation.
But if he angers Spider-Man, or if some foolish idiot forces him to defect and stop playing the role of his "friendly neighbor," then he'll be in big trouble!
Of course, the trip wasn't entirely in vain for everyone.
after all……
After a major battle, people are always needed to clean up the battlefield.
Although during the inventory, Bullseye, Tru, Rasu, Afen, and Zhou, all high-ranking members, mysteriously disappeared, it's highly likely that Valon, taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, ordered the immortal Shadow Legion to secretly take them back.
However, in order to ensure the safe evacuation of these five people, they did not want to attract public attention beforehand.
Kingpin went all in, throwing his armed forces into the ambush. And the two Spider-Slayer robots, which the Black Hand had spent a fortune working overtime to produce, were completely destroyed here!
Not to mention, the rabbit charm that he finally got his hands on was actually stolen by Spider-Man!
Such a significant loss is a major blow to both Kingpin and Valon.
So much so that even after being brought back by the Shadow Legion, the group of people were still unconscious.
Enraged, Valon immediately wanted to rush up and slap everyone lying on the ground across the face! To vent his anger!
But Valon managed to suppress his impulse.
Clearly, Valmont himself knew that it was already a miracle to have survived a Spider-Man who was serious and didn't hold back.
Not to mention the others, who, even knowing they were no match, were still willing to obey his orders and, without hesitation, launched an attack on Spider-Man with a death wish.
This invaluable loyalty is enough to make up for the mistakes they made.
Moreover, the Black Hand gang did not come away empty-handed from this operation.
They lost one Rabbit Talisman, but in return, they received three other talismans from Spider-Man.
With a 1-for-3 trade, it seems like we're actually making a better profit.
Once Valmont calmed down, he quickly and happily began to boast to Shendu as the ninja soldiers, carrying three talismans, respectfully approached the statue of Shendu.
"Although I lost a rabbit, I gained three new animals in return... As you can see, Holy Lord, I've suffered quite a few losses to help you obtain more talismans. Shouldn't I receive a reward from the Golden Rooster King's treasure for this?"
"A reward? Of course... but only if all the talismans you find are genuine!"
"What?! What does this mean! Holy Lord! You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?!"
"Idiot! Take a look for yourself! There's absolutely no magic in this talisman! It's just a fake! You've been fooled by Spider-Man!"
However, after examining the three talismans up close, the Holy Lord immediately realized that there was something wrong with them!
Enraged, Shendu berated Valmont, shattering his dream and breathing fire that set Valmont's hair ablaze. Valmont, terrified, frantically tried to extinguish the flames, looking utterly disheveled!
However, what the Holy Lord didn't notice was...
Valmont, who had repeatedly tried to curry favor with the Holy Lord but received no benefit whatsoever, extinguished the fire on his head, his hair a messy, unkempt mess, and bowed his head in apparent humility as he retreated. However, his eyes kept shifting, as if he were secretly plotting something.
Meanwhile, Shendu first summoned the Shadow Legion, and now he breathes fire... These scenes, which are beyond the scope of common sense, made Kingpin, who was watching from the side, realize that Valon was not lying.
This talking statue is indeed a powerful demon that has been sealed away!
Kingpin, who had already suffered huge losses and was considering kidnapping Valmont and taking over the Mafia to make a comeback, immediately curbed his ambitions.
Just kidding, Spider-Man is already enough of a headache for him, let alone provoking a demon of unknown origin...
Forget about making a comeback; his life would probably come to an end right then and there.
But if we don't act quickly and betray the Black Hand Gang...
The fact that Kingpin lost his title as the underground emperor of New York City due to the S.H.I.E.L.D. raid, once Valon discovers...
Then the Black Hand Gang will definitely take advantage of the situation and devour Kingpin's remaining power!
So, after a round of insincere pleasantries...
Kingpin, as agreed beforehand, took Bullseye and the Iron X Element and chose to leave first, thus ending his first collaboration with the Mafia.
By the way...
Given Riley's personality, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over the genuine talisman.
Instead, they hired professionals from District 13 to create several incredibly realistic replicas.
Of course, to increase credibility, Riley did indeed retrieve the tungsten X element that General Ross had previously given him, and handed it over to the ninja soldiers along with the fake talismans.
However, on the very night he obtained the element Ti:X, Dr. Otto, who was already passionate about energy development, immediately began to conduct in-depth research on Ti:X.
Then it was discovered that, for the same volume, the element x protons has a hundred times more energy than plutonium, which is commonly used in nuclear reactions.
However, it is a byproduct that was unconsciously born during the symbiote's dormancy.
Once the symbiote attaches to the element X, the energy contained within it will rapidly dissipate. In just a few days, it will become no different from an ordinary lead block.
Unless we manufacture it into a giant nuclear bomb before the Ti:X element completely loses its effectiveness and launch it immediately, staging a spectacle of the universe existing as long as the heavens and the earth, and destroying all life on Earth.
Otherwise, the chromium-X element would be like a chicken rib, with no practical value whatsoever.
In other words, even if the real Ti:X element were handed over to Kingpin and Valmont, Riley was certain that the two of them, whose focus was on wealth and power rather than world destruction, wouldn't make much of a difference.
On the contrary, because of the authenticity of the chromium X element, people would assume that the talisman is also genuine and ignore the need to check the talisman.
Therefore, Kingpin initially comforted himself, at least he wasn't as unlucky as Valon, who had obtained genuine TiO2. He immediately began contacting buyers, hoping to recoup some losses and earn some operating funds by selling TiO2 at a high price.
But when Kingpin found a suitable buyer and was ready to demonstrate the power of Ti:X according to the buyer's requirements, he belatedly realized that Ti:X had become a completely useless piece of junk!
This scene, which was far beyond what was expected, caused Kingpin to break through his defenses once again!
However, after realizing Spider-Man's power, Kingpin, who was already on the decline, dared not cause trouble for Spider-Man!
Consumed by rage and with nowhere to vent it, Kingpin suddenly went black in his hiding place, where he was so enraged by Riley's little trick that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot!
