Cultivation Chronicles in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 232: Undercurrent seeking help

Views:

"team leader!?"

The doorbell of the sea view villa rang. Tony Stark put down the diving suit in his hand and walked to the computer that controlled the surveillance at the door. Captain America Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson appeared on the virtual screen.

Tony Stark asked Jarvis to release the access control system and invited the two in.

"Please sit wherever you want," Tony Stark asked the two to sit down, walked to the bar, took a bottle of champagne, and raised it towards them.

"How about some champagne?"

"Tony! Don't bother yourself. We are here to ask for your help!" Steve Rogers sat on the sofa and looked at Tony Stark.

Tony Stark turned around and said, "Aren't you investigating the truth behind Nick Fury's death? Have you found out anything? Is it really related to Don?"

Tony Stark's continuous questions made Steve Rogers not know where to start.

"Mr. Stark, we have found a very troublesome person and need your help!" Phil Coulson looked much more haggard.

His most respected boss was killed, and the murderer was suspected to be his colleague of many years. Even his former comrades did not stand by him. If it were not for Captain America, his former idol, fighting side by side with him, he felt that he would collapse soon.

"A tricky guy!" Tony Stark repeated Phil Coulson's words while opening the champagne and pouring a few glasses of wine.

Jarvis controlled the robotic arm and placed several glasses of champagne in front of Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson.

At this time, in the workshop, Reed and Dr. Banner, who had completed their work, also came to the reception room.

Dr. Banner greeted the two of them.

Although Dr. Reed was not one of the Avengers, he and Captain America were familiar with each other after fighting side by side on the battlefield of Leon. However, he did not know Phil Coulson and just nodded.

"If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. Nick Fury and I are old friends. I'm very sad about his death. Based on my understanding of Agent Natasha, I don't believe she would assassinate her superior for no reason."

Tony Stark sat on the sofa opposite Captain America with his glass of champagne in his hand. "I think there is a high probability that she is being controlled by someone, just like Dr. Eric back then!"

“That’s what our survey found as well!”

Phil Coulson nodded in agreement. "At first, Director Fury was going to investigate a smuggling case involving Tang Song, so he sent Agent Natasha and an elite special operations team. As a result, the special operations team was wiped out and she disappeared.

It was two days later when Agent Natasha contacted us. We suspect that she was brainwashed and controlled during these two days, which led to the assassination of Chief Fury!"

"Smuggling!?" It was the first time Tony Stark heard Phil Coulson mention the cause of their conflict with Tang Song.

"What was Tang smuggling? Cars or watches? I know him. He would never kill the Secretary-General of the World Security Council just for these things!"

Facing Tony Stark's questioning, Phil Coulson hesitated: "These are a batch of high-tech products that are restricted from leaving the country. Tang Song secretly smuggled these things to **!"

Of course Phil Coulson would not say that what Tang Song smuggled were the broken Iron Man suits and the Ark reactors inside found in the ruins of Stark's villa.

Out of some selfish motives, when Nick Fury learned the news, he did not tell Tony Stark about it immediately, but wanted to secretly intercept the batch of things.

As Nick Fury's confidant, Phil Coulson naturally understood his plan, which was nothing more than wanting to use these iron suits to develop his own robotic weapons.

Ever since Hill became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and became estranged from Nick Fury, Nick Fury, perhaps because of the betrayal of his old subordinates, became more and more suspicious of everything in his heart, and he urgently needed an armed force in his own hands.

After seeing the prospects of the Iron Soldiers, for Nick Fury, nothing could be more suitable than these obedient, reliable, and non-betrayal robots.

Of course, Phil Coulson would never tell Tony Stark these words. Without the help of SHIELD, the current Avengers are the only force they can rely on.

If a rift between them and Tony Stark arises because of the Ark reactor incident, it will definitely be a major blow to them as they are now weak and alone.

(A large paragraph was deleted, and I made up my own mind, involving the reality)

Tony Stark even had a vague guess about what the Chinese side wanted.

"You just said you encountered a difficult problem. What was it?" Tony Stark didn't want to comment on who was right or wrong between Tang Song and Nick Fury, but now Nick Fury is dead.

He raised his glass, took a sip of champagne, and looked at Phil Coulson.

"When we were investigating the cause of Chief Fury's death, we checked his personal cell phone and found that he had been secretly investigating the terrorist attack on the State Guest House, and he made a discovery!"

Phil Coulson looked at Captain America, and after getting his confirmation, he took out a USB flash drive from his arms.

"The matter involves the White House, and Chief Fury was assassinated not long after he left the White House!"

Tony Stark took the USB drive, but did not play it immediately. Instead, he held it in his hand and looked at Phil Coulson.

Phil Coulson hesitated for a moment and licked his lips. "This is what Commander Fury found out during his lifetime. Francis Underwood seemed to be behind the terrorist attack on the State Guest House."

Francis Underwood? President of the Confederacy

Phil Coulson's words made the faces of the people present become a little solemn.

If Nick Fury's death involves the current federal president, it will undoubtedly be a political event with huge impact.

In the terrorist attack on the State Guesthouse, almost the entire federal leadership was wiped out, and the impact was even greater than that of 9/12.

But if Nick Fury's death really involves the White House, what can they do

Transforming into Avengers and attacking the highest federal agency, don't joke. If they really did that, then these Avengers would probably become terrorists wanted by the federal government.

"What do you need me to do?" Tony Stark felt the hardness of the USB drive in his palm and looked up at Steve Rogers.

"We would like to borrow your artificial intelligence. We need to find out the call information between the federal president and Tang Song!" Captain America stated his purpose directly.

Under Captain America's gaze, Tony Stark stared at the wine glass in front of him, somewhat undecided.

"I need some time to think about it!"

... ... ... .

Just as the two giants of the Avengers were discussing how to deal with Boss Tang, Tang Song was entertaining a guest!

New York's newly built Tang Building, 49th floor, top floor office,

Boss Tang was making tea, and the young woman in front of him looked a little embarrassed.

Tang Song spoke in a calm voice, and the purple clay teapot poured out two bowls of clear tea.

"Come, try it, authentic Chinese green tea!"

Zuo Yin Barnes heard Tang Song's promise and picked up the teacup:

"Mr. Tang, the president said that as long as he can be re-elected, you will be his best friend. At the same time, he will try his best to tilt the resource quota for interstellar development towards the Tang Group..."

"Ms. Zuo Yin, don't worry. Go back and tell the President that we are old friends. I will definitely support him with all my strength in this presidential election!"

Tang Song interrupted Zuo Yin and promised.

… …

"Boss, we still choose to support Francis this time!"

"From what I understand, he has been getting close to the Freemasons recently and has promised them a lot of things!"

After seeing Zuo Yin off, Lai En returned to the office and asked in confusion!

After receiving the news that someone was going to deal with the boss, Ryan put aside the affairs of Utopia and rushed back with several powerful mutants.

After knowing that Francis had contact with Freemasons, he still supported his re-election, which is not the boss' style at all.

"I got the news that someone is investigating Francis. Re-election? I wonder if our president can hold on until the election is over!"

Tang Song picked up the cigar box on the table, took out two cigars, threw one to Lai En, and lit one for himself.

"You should check Francis's opponents in this election and get in touch with them to see if there are any suitable alternatives."

Boss Tang was lying on the sofa, smoking a cigar and crossing his legs.

"At the top of the Federation, there must always be a handy tool!"

Kane picked up the cigar cutter, cut a cigar, and smoked with Boss Tang.

"Yes, Boss! I heard from Kane that you want to take action against the Freemasons!"

"Let's kill a chicken first. Recently, an interstellar mining ship found an asteroid opposite the space gate. Although it is not suitable for living, it has a large amount of copper resources!

Someone from the Freemasons has set their sights on that copper mine, so they want to attack us! You are asking for trouble!"

"Cobra's space-based weapons and Hydra's insight system have already formed the Skynet network. It's a good opportunity to test its effect."

Tang Song said lazily:

"Kane was originally in charge of this matter. Something happened at the mercenary training camp in East Africa, so he rushed over. Now you are in charge of this matter!"

"I can't stand the sight of blood. Skye and the others are going to South Korea to watch a concert, so I'll go to Seoul with them!"

"Oh right! I'm going to ask Peter Quill to help us purchase some spaceships, supplies, and technological information from alien planets. You can meet him later!"

Lai En watched as Boss Tang casually handed over a large amount of work, and suddenly he felt that the cigar in his mouth had lost its flavor.

Tang Song seemed to feel that he had gone too far as a hands-off manager. He seemed not to notice Lai En's blank look.

He stood up from the sofa, took a step, walked through the office door, and "escaped" directly from the top-floor office.

Seeing the boss even use the "method" he learned from the space gem in order to shirk his work!

Lai En stood up, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He felt his eyelids twitching.

... ... ... ..

In East Africa, the Tang Group's mercenary base, a small square city is surrounded by a stone brick wall about 500 meters long and wide.

Several rows of simple metal houses, oil storage tanks, power rooms, kitchens and other buildings were built inside, and even a 400-meter-long field runway was built, with two small attack aircraft parked on the runway.

It was a dark night, and heavy rain was pouring down from the sky, making the roof of the attack aircraft rattle.

The dark sky was covered with dark clouds. On the dark grassland, several jeeps were traveling overnight. The tall street lights on the roadside emitted a pale light, like dead people's eyes staring at the cars.

Kane sat in the passenger seat of the jeep, constantly looking down at the position on his watch.

Dozens of card soldiers were organizing their guns, assault rifles, night vision goggles, and individual black magic skateboards in the back row.

Occasionally, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Several card soldiers were testing the bullets one by one. They were adamantium bullets, coated with adamantium. Before cooling, a cross-shaped notch was opened at the front end of the bullet. The power of this engraved bullet was enough to penetrate the defense of the Federation's main battle tank.

Currently, the production of Emand alloy is limited, and each card warrior is only entitled to ten rounds of this type of bullet!

Therefore, before each battle, it is essential to check the bullets.

After traveling through the plains for more than two hours, the jeep roared through a tunnel, revealing a basin with an area of about 30 square kilometers in front.

Lightning flashed continuously from the dark clouds, and dark shadows were rushing towards them under the lightning.

"It's Wakanda's Vibranium drones, they're coming again!

Kane could see several drones hovering in the sky.

During this period, people in the training camp reported that Wakanda's vibranium drones had been scouting their camp, seemingly looking for something.

After the camp director reported to Kane, Kane asked Boss Tang for instructions and came here in person.

“Shoot them down!

Kane gave orders through the Card Squad's communicator, jumped onto the jeep, and took out a Vulcan cannon from the car.

Standing on the roof of the jeep, with a long ammunition chain extending into the car body, Kane stood on the roof, holding the Vulcan cannon in one hand.

Pull the trigger!

With a firing rate of 7,200 rounds per minute, a torrent of steel tore through the night sky and rushed straight towards the drone in the sky.

The two drones that were strafed by Kane were suddenly swaying left and right!

However, facing the shooting of the Vulcan cannon, the two drones were still not damaged and found Kane's trace.

They turned their noses and rushed towards the ground at an extremely high speed of more than ten times the speed of sound at almost a right angle of ninety degrees. Two small missiles exploded towards the jeep where Kane was standing.

Kane didn't move, but just swung the Vulcan cannon slightly, and the torrent of bullets swept away the two oncoming missiles!

Da da da da da da—

Wakanda, Royal Palace

The Wakanda soldier, holding the remote control stick, was sweating profusely as he controlled a drone to crash into Kane.

Because they were reconnaissance missions, the drones did not carry much ammunition, but fortunately, Wakanda's drones were all made using vibranium technology, so even if they crashed into soldiers, they were confident that they could eliminate this group of mercenaries.

Kane looked at the drone that was still crashing towards him under the Vulcan cannon, his muscles swelled up, and the shadow of a fierce tiger with drooping eyes and white forehead flashed by behind him.

Kane roared in a low voice, and a terrible impact force erupted from under his feet. A clear large footprint sank into the roof of the jeep!

Kane jumped up directly, his true energy burst out from his feet, and he pounced right above the drone. With his left hand, he pulled out a magical Nepalese machete from his belt, and the moment he jumped above the drone, he swung the machete fiercely.

There were dozens of "chi chi" sounds, and the saber left several afterimages. A flash of lightning flashed where the saber and the drone touched.

Kane's saber was like a sharp knife cutting tofu, cutting into the node of the drone.

A dazzling flash of electric light flashed through the wires and pipelines in the pipes under the shells of the two vibranium drones, and the plasma flames ejected from the drone engines suddenly dimmed.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldier watched in amazement through the drone as the man on the screen easily destroyed two Vibranium-tech drones.

He quickly put down the control handle and reported to Black Panther T'Challa through the communicator.

T'Challa, who arrived after receiving the news, looked at the images transmitted by the drone with a grim expression.

Dozens of well-trained mercenaries got off a dozen jeeps and continued to snipe at the remaining drones. When they noticed the durability of the drones, they also fired strong smoke bombs into the sky to create an artificial fog area.

At this time, Kane took advantage of the cover of fog and successfully shot down another drone.

"Withdraw the remaining drones!"

T'Challa's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out.

He was tasked by Phil Coulson to investigate the mercenary base.

Investigate the truth behind Nick Fury's death.

He did not tell T'Challa the specific reasons.

You have to know that this involves the mysterious death of the former Black Panther T'Chaka.

Since the current president of the Federation is involved, Phil Coulson is deeply afraid that it will cause a serious diplomatic incident, or even lead to another war between Wakanda and the Federation.

So Phil Coulson did not reveal to T'Challa that Nick Fury was investigating the terrorist attack on the State Guest House that year.

The reason why T'Challa helped Phil Coulson was that if Nick Fury hadn't brought the Avengers to help him, he would not have succeeded in regaining the throne.

He owed the dead Nick Fury a favor.

Seeing that this group of mercenaries was a tough nut to crack, T'Challa decisively gave the order to retreat.

... ... ... ...

Although the international flight from New York to Seoul has not officially taken off yet, it is almost full of passengers of different skin colors.

Tang Song sat by the window and found it a little funny.

One monk carries water to eat, two monks have no water to eat. A few little girls bought first-class tickets for themselves and left him alone in the economy class.

When they heard that Boss Tang was going to take them to Seoul for a trip, the little girls immediately looked for a bunch of travel guides for Seoul.

He righteously stopped Tang Song from taking a private jet.

Tang Song was fine. The reason they went to Seoul was because a high school sister of Gu Ziyun participated in a talent show, which was said to be their first debut concert.

Gu Ziyun wants to go back to show her support, and a few little girls also want to go to South Korea for a visit.

Boss Tang turned on his phone, played a movie, and put on headphones.

"Hello, sir. This is my first time on a plane. I want to sit near the window and enjoy the scenery outside. Can I change seats?"

Just as Boss Tang was watching the action movie on his phone, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded beside him.

At the same time, a fresh fragrance wafted into his nose. When he turned around, he found that it was a pretty girl who was greeting him in Korean.

The girl was not tall, only about 1.6 meters, but her skin was very fair, and with her cool outfit, she looked quite charming. At this moment, she was holding the plane ticket and seemed to be next to Tang Song.

"Please speak Chinese or English!"

Tang Song took off his headphones and looked at the girl. Well, she was not his type!

"I'm sorry," the girl said, clasping her hands together and making a gesture of please with her hands in front of her chest.

Say it again in halting English!

"Can!"

Tang Song glanced at the girl, then stood up with his phone in hand. It wasn't that he was attracted by her beauty.

Boss Tang has seen countless people, and he has seen many girls with this look.

He was in a good mood and gave up his seat, which was no big deal.

Boss Tang always has a calm attitude towards ordinary people.

"Thank you." The girl looked at Boss Tang happily and sat down only after Boss Tang made room for him.

Boss Tang didn't care and took out his mobile phone to continue watching the movie.

"Hello, are you Chinese?" The girl sat by the window and wanted to see the scenery outside. The plane had not taken off yet, so she greeted Tang Song out of curiosity!

"Yes!" Tang Song glanced at her and didn't say anything more. The people who could have common language with him were either the topics that Boss Tang was interested in or the people that Boss Tang was interested in. Obviously, this girl had neither.

The girl smiled without saying anything, feeling bored. She turned her head and stared out the window in a daze.

The plane finally took off. The girl was a little nervous at first, but after a while, when she saw the plane finally fly high into the sky and the cabin became stable, she suddenly began to look out the window excitedly.

Tang Song watched the movie attentively.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Hello, how about we change seats?"

Tang Song turned around and saw a tall young man standing in the aisle. He was in casual clothes and looked good, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

It's obvious at first glance that he has never experienced the harsh treatment of society.

"Change positions?"

The indifferent Taoism of Tang and Song dynasties

"Jin Tan, why are you here?" The girl sitting by the window next to Tang Song asked in surprise.

"Cha Shangen, I'm going back to South Korea today too!"

Jin Tan naturally would not say that he bought this flight after checking Che Sean's ticket.

A young couple, Tang Song smiled, it felt a bit like a soap opera, thought about it and decided to help them be together so that he could upgrade his cabin to find Ju Ziyun and Skye and the others. Tang Song just wanted to get up.

"Hey, uncle, help me, here's one thousand dollars, I want to sit with my friend!"

The tall young man's words immediately made Boss Tang change his mind.

Young man, your path has narrowed!

Uncle, is he that old? And this title can be used by a little girl, but it can be used by a man...

Tang Song smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, I won't change!"

It depends on one’s mood to help others achieve their goals. Boss Tang is in a bad mood now!

If it was a normal seat change, he would have done it, but he really didn't want to change it in this way of spending money.

After hearing this, the tall young man, who had been confident of victory and thought he could accomplish his goal immediately, was stunned and his face darkened.

"My name is Kim Tan, Kim Tan from the South Korean Empire Group. Uncle, if you help others, you will benefit yourself!"

As the heir to South Korea's leading conglomerate Empire Group, Kim Tan has always had smooth sailing. There is nothing he has not gotten since he was a child.

South Korea is the South Korea of these chaebols. Jin Tan had a wicked smile on his face, wanting to see if the man in front of him would give up his position after hearing the reputation of the Empire Group!

"roll!"

Jin Tan's face suddenly turned red after hearing Tang Song's casual words, and he raised his fist to swing towards Tang Song.

Tang Song glanced at him calmly.

That look was like the bloodthirsty gaze of an evil dragon, and it was as deep and terrifying as a bottomless abyss. It was like a basin of cold water poured from the neck to the soles of the feet. Jin Tan could only feel his whole body trembling.

He ran back to his seat without even raising his head.

... ... ... ..

The girl sitting next to Tang Song bit her lip, turned sideways and looked out the window!

A few hours later, when the passenger plane arrived safely at Seoul Airport and the announcement of the safe arrival of the plane sounded in the cabin, Tang Song stood up.

After a while, Gu Ziyun, Sky and others came out skipping. Sky and Xiao Taoqi each held Tang Song's arm, while Gu Ziyun and Zheng Daen followed behind Tang Song.

The girl sitting by the window stared at Tang Song's back in amazement.

“Kachcha!”

Jin Tan walked behind Tang Song, quietly took out his cell phone, and took a picture of Tang Song's profile.

... ... ...

After leaving the airport, as soon as the few people appeared, they saw two rows of pure black vehicles in front of them.

There were seven or eight cars lined up on the left side of the road ahead. Outside each car stood a burly man in a suit and black sunglasses.

The other row was on the right side of the road. They were also wearing dark suits and looked a bit like South Korean prosecutors.

These two rows of cars are equally impressive.

As soon as Tang Song and others appeared here,

The leader in the front of the right car came running over.

"Mr. Tang, I'm Park Dechang, welcome to Seoul!"

The South Korean old man in a suit, with all white hair, bowed respectfully to Tang Song!

This attracted the attention of many passengers leaving the airport.

Tang Song glanced at him and realized that this was Lai En's arrangement.

Park Dechang, Tang Song remembered this name, it seemed that he was the new chairman of the Kinmen Group they supported.

Tang Song nodded at him. Park Dechang smiled happily and trotted to an extended Rolls-Royce and opened the door for Boss Tang.

After learning that the big boss was coming to South Korea in person, he specifically inquired about the big boss's preferences.

Knowing that the big boss liked to travel in a Rolls-Royce, he specially borrowed this car from a South Korean chaebol he was familiar with.

The passengers who had just stepped off the plane stared in amazement as two fleets of luxury cars drove away from the airport.

Many people took out their mobile phones to film the scene.

… … …

At the most beautiful cape in Yeouido, in the middle of a white cliff hundreds of meters high, a row of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the cape were carved out with great effort and inlaid with thick large glass. This is the most famous "seaside restaurant" in Seoul.

All seats here overlook the sea, and the scenery is naturally beyond description. Especially in windy and rough weather with lightning and thunder,

South Korea's dignitaries and tycoons love to sit by the window here, tasting fine wine and admiring the magnificent sight of seabirds flying through the clouds like galloping horses.

Tang Song, Sky, Xiao Taoqi and Shishida Mariko were sitting at the best table in the seaside restaurant, looking at the quiet cape in the sun with smiles on their faces.

Fishing boats are dotted on the blue sea. Several huge albatrosses are circling in the sky. When they see an opportunity, they will swoop down, grab huge sea fish from the fishing boats and fly back to the sky to feast on them.

Surrounded by white and delicate marble, this hotel carved out of the cliff is warm and comfortable. The dining tables are separated by well-arranged bonsai flowers, and the faint fragrance lingers in the air.

The restaurant was empty except for their table.

Cozy and warm, Tang Song leaned comfortably on the soft and loose chair.

Mariko Shishida was wearing a casual short skirt and peeling grapes for Boss Tang with her slender hands.

“Why did you come to Seoul?”

Boss Tang lay in the rocking chair with his eyes squinted, and Skye pressed his temples.

Brother Cheng, Shura Field, that's impossible! How could Boss Tang allow something like Shura Field to happen to him

"Shishida Heavy Industries and Samsung have an important negotiation!" Shishida Mariko fed the grape pulp to Tang Song. "I don't feel comfortable leaving it to the people below, so I came here to take a look myself."

Tang Song opened his mouth and tasted the grapes without opening his eyes. He said indifferently:

'to be honest!'

Shishida Mariko groaned and moved her two fingers back and forth, "Isn't it the boss who came to Seoul?"

She was shy but timid, with a bit of shyness on her face.

"Bitch!" Sky cursed in his heart when he saw the look on Mariko Shida's face.

"This won't happen again!"

Tang Song opened his eyes and glanced at Shishida Mariko's face. His indifferent gaze made Shishida Mariko feel a chill in her heart.

After the Shishida family came to power, she gradually understood the true strength of this man in her family through Shishida's channels.

He is one of the most powerful tycoons in the world.

The key is ruthlessness.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have run to South Korea to win favor.

After hearing Tang Song's words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, Tang Song accompanied the girls to have fun in South Korea.

In fact, Boss Tang really didn’t feel that there was anything fun in that place, just a small country that broadcasts weather forecasts and only reports that it will rain across the country.

Its tourist attractions may as well be said to have gained fame through hype. In the last century, South Korea wanted to revive its tourism industry, but it was a small country with few people and there was not much to see. So it joined forces with a group of cultural figures to hype up the site and compete with the neighboring big country for its ancestors and historical celebrities.

It was a farce! A farce! But it did open up the tourism market in South Korea.

Nami Island, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Oksan Mountain, Insadong, Samcheongdong, we traveled across most of South Korea in three days.
