The forest where the manor is located is still some distance away from the town, and purchasing supplies often requires driving five kilometers away. The cars and bodyguards were recruited and arranged by Howard in advance.
Kyle was convinced that Howard, the old gentleman, was methodical in his work. After going through so many things, the two of them were now the closest of partners - in life and work.
"Kyle, we're back." Lucy, wearing a sun hat, waved to the lawn, holding the shorter Yutong's hand. Somehow, the two of them became good friends despite their age difference. (People with the ability to read minds are naturally feared and awed by children of the same age.)
However, with Yu Tong as a real potential bodyguard, Kyle feels more at ease about Lucy going out.
A rolled-up black-and-white newspaper floated up from the bag Lucy was holding, flew over like a bird, and landed on the small table next to Kyle.
"Boss, today's newspaper." Yu Tong said via telepathy.
Kyle, who was still lying down, nodded, picked up the newspaper and quickly flipped through it. He read ten lines at a glance and threw it on the table.
The main content on the front page of the New York Times was exactly the same as it had been in the past two days, all of which were reports centered around him. The report that Stark Industries would hold the World Technology Expo a few months earlier and release new products that would change the world was pitifully squeezed to the second page.
The news about the return of war heroes, the remnants of the terrorist organization Hydra lurking in the upper echelons of the American empire, the confrontation between the country's top regime and civilian superheroes, the youngest major general applying for retirement and resigning from his post, the new president replacing officials and officers for Kyle, etc., bombarded the American mainland day and night.
The war hero retired, and the symbol of national conquest and power was no longer there. The media collectively gave Kyle another name -
'Symbol of peace'!
When Kyle heard this new name the day before yesterday, he was stunned and almost spit out the red wine he was drinking.
How could a warmonger like him become a symbol of peace
The problem is that the general public also agrees with this title, which is much more recognized than the previous "devil", "killer god", "tyrant", etc. Some people have raised funds to build peace symbol sculptures in some squares, and the Norwegian Parliament is also discussing voting for him to receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize...
This has reached the point where Kyle himself can no longer complain.
But no matter what, since he decided to build his family power, he planned to fade out of the public's attention and patiently prepare for future alien invasions.
Kyle now does not dare to claim to be invincible even on Earth. Many large and small mysterious organizations are hidden in corners of the world, not to mention the vast alien universe outside the Earth.
"The most reliable thing I have now, besides the ability to draw cards, is the preparation time that is decades longer than other heroes, and the ability to know in advance about major plot events that are about to happen in the future - this is my greatest reliance as a time traveler!"
"In just one year, I have reached the highest level of a super soldier, standing at the pinnacle of fame and prestige among humans on Earth, with endless wealth that can rival a country!"
"After a few decades, where will the Karl family and I be? Even I can't predict it!"
Kyle thought to himself, with enough confidence and courage in his heart.
God is very powerful? Wait for me to climb up step by step!
Is Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet Set Unbeatable? Is there any suggestion that he should slowly collect six gems
By taking the initiative and preparing to deal with the trump card, Kyle will be invincible by nature and act as a bigger boss behind the scenes, deducing and controlling everything.
“Right now, at this moment, is the first step.”
Kyle sat up from the sun lounger. A tall bodyguard in a suit came to the edge of the lawn and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Mr. Kyle, the boss said he has flown a plane to pick you up to go out to sea."
"Okay, tell Lucy that lunch doesn't have to wait for me." Kyle ordered. After the bodyguards withdrew, he glanced at Venom who was jumping excitedly beside him, "Are you going or not?"
'Rolling—'
The black liquid form of Venom itself bounced up and transformed into a hooded jacket that was draped over Kyle.
An hour and a half later.
Off the vast Atlantic Ocean, under the bright sunshine at noon, a helicopter spiraled and hummed, maintaining an altitude of hundreds of meters.
"Kyle, are we really approaching that turtle-shaped island you mentioned?" Howard asked in surprise in the driver's seat.
Kyle, who was in the co-pilot seat, looked down at the sea and nodded, "Yeah, about the same."
"You must have remembered it wrongly. There are no islands shown on the map in the nearby waters." Howard confirmed.
"You'll know in a moment." Kyle smiled mysteriously. When the helicopter flew another ten miles offshore, he had figured it out and said to Howard, "Next, follow the process I told you to do."
"No problem." Howard nodded. He didn't believe that Kyle could create an island out of thin air.
"Now, you give me this helicopter." Kyle said inexplicably.
"Ah?" Howard was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, "No problem, I'll give it to you if you want it. I'll build another one later."
"Then, the ownership of this helicopter belongs to me now." Kyle pondered, and seeing that the helicopter card information was still in an unremovable state, he continued: "Unfasten your seat belt and stop driving the helicopter."
Chapter 118 Subverting Howard's Three Views
As for the extraction of item cards, the extraction time is much faster than that of ability cards, but at the same time, the extraction restrictions are becoming more stringent.
For example, sand, paper scraps, stones...these items cannot be extracted.
However, a box of sand with gold dust, paper with craft design drawings, stone carved by a master, etc. can be included in the category of item card extraction. What is important here is the measurement of the value of the items.
Special items such as out-of-control fighter planes, severely damaged firearms, unstable energy sources, grenades and nuclear bombs that are about to explode cannot be extracted either.
In addition, it must not be someone else's personal property, which is the primary condition for item extraction!
"hurry up."
At Kyle's urging, Howard, who was originally hesitant, made up his mind, quickly unbuckled his seat belt, moved his hands and feet from the driver's seat, and moved his whole body to the passenger seat.
The card information has not changed and it is still not extractable.
"Is it still not enough?" Kyle pondered, stood up, walked forward, reached out and turned off the plane engine directly.
The helicopter vibrated slightly with a hum, and began to glide downward. Howard turned pale with fright, and quickly grabbed the internal fuselage with both hands.
"Done." Kyle smiled. In his eyes, the rare green [Modified Helicopter] changed from being unrecoverable to being recoverable.
"What happened..." Howard was still confused. Just three seconds later, the helicopter disappeared from reality to illusion, and the two people inside fell towards the vast ocean from a height of hundreds of meters.
"Oh my god, Kyle, what did you do to the helicopter—why is it gone?"
Howard was in a natural fall and was stunned. The gentleman's hat on his head had been thrown away by the strong wind, and the mustache on his face was blown crooked. He could only spread his limbs weakly and fell towards the sea in a "big" shape.
This phenomenon could not be explained by science at all. No matter how hard his brain worked, he could not come up with an answer in time. Moreover, the current dangerous situation made it difficult for Howard to maintain his gentlemanly image and he screamed.
"Be at ease, you have nothing to fear with me here." Beside Howard, who was screaming, Kyle also fell down, and said calmly, "If you want to follow me, then from now on, throw away all your previous values and ideas."
"I want to take you out of the framework of the well on Earth today and subvert everything!"
As they were talking, the two of them were already falling close to the sea surface. Kyle suddenly reached out and grabbed Howard's suit jacket, and the hooded leather jacket spread out its dark red wings.
Kyle lifted Howard's body and used Venom's gliding ability to slow down and keep him in the air. When he was five meters above the sea, he pulled out an item card and threw it down, which materialized into a modern speedboat.
Kyle slowly landed on the deck, stood firmly and let go of Howard. Howard held on to the railing of the speedboat with his soft legs, breathing heavily and rapidly.
