Chapter 120: Venomous Tongue and Backstab (Fourth Update)
"Who are you? You saved me? Why?" John Walker was sent here in the wilderness of America. He looked at the completely strange man in front of him blankly and asked in confusion.
"..." The man looked at John Walker silently without saying anything, and his figure gradually became transparent and disappeared.
"Who is he? He is obviously not someone I know, but why do I feel that his eyes are a little familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere?" John Walker hesitated and muttered to the place where the man disappeared, but he soon shook his head, "Forget it, don't worry about it, report the information first, and let the higher-ups negotiate with District 13. I don't want to meet that kind of monster again anyway..."
"Vegeta, what happened just now?" In the fishing village of Panama on the other side, Jackie Chan walked to Robert with his shield tightly in his hand, looked around vigilantly and asked.
"There is a powerful guy, but unfortunately I didn't see him clearly, but it seems that he should be related to the man just now, so he was rescued..." Robert shook his head and said with some regret.
"You didn't see it clearly?!" Jackie Chan asked Robert with his eyes wide open.
"Nonsense, I'm not the most powerful person on earth now. This world is much more mysterious than you think. Isn't it normal for more powerful people to emerge?" Robert said that he was used to the sudden emergence of mysterious strong men. After all, this is the case in the Dragon Ball world. When everyone thinks that their strength is already very strong, there will always be stronger people jumping out to trigger new battles.
Robert is not afraid of such strong men who emerge, but is more and more looking forward to it. Only such a world full of strong men can give Robert a continuous opportunity to fight in the future!
"Now, let's deal with the horse spell first..." Robert shook his head and asked Mera who was standing not far away, "Can you tell me why you want to help those people recover from their injuries?"
"Do you need a reason to help them recover from their injuries?" Seeing Robert's eyes, Mera subconsciously stepped back, and after getting closer to the sea, she looked at Robert vigilantly and asked back.
"Uh..." This question stumped Robert. Yes, sometimes, there are not so many reasons. It was probably that after Mera discovered the power of the horse charm, she saw some injured people living a miserable life, so she chose to help them, and then became the ocean healing goddess passed down by word of mouth.
"I believe that your mind is definitely good. After all, I can feel that your energy is very pure, but sometimes you have to think about yourself. Now you are being targeted by more than one force. Every action you take in the future will be targeted by someone with ulterior motives until they get the horse charm!" Robert shook his head after coming to his senses, looking at Mera and said seriously.
"Is it the same for you?" Mera took two steps back towards the sea and asked, holding the horse charm tightly on her chest.
"We are the same." Robert nodded calmly, "You should have seen it just now. The so-called injured people around here have been replaced. If you continue to use the horse spell to save people in the future, you will encounter the same situation..."
"Of course, if you are willing to stay in the sea and not come out, it is also good to leave the horse spell with you. At least it is safer than staying in District 13, but you have to promise that you will not come out again!"
"Do you know that I come from the sea?" Mera, who has already retreated one foot into the sea, looked at Robert in surprise and asked.
"When you came ashore from the sea before, I sensed..." Robert did not know Mera's origin, but he sensed the emergence process of Mera's extraordinary aura before.
"So you really come from the ocean? Can your ability allow you to survive in the ocean? How were you born?" Tony Stark on the side looked at Mera with shining eyes and asked, but with the mecha helmet blocking him, no one could see his expression.
Tony Stark kept asking questions. He was still very interested in his own blind spots in knowledge, especially because Mera seemed to be much easier to talk to than Robert. When she took action, she would at most trap people with water or block their mouths, unlike Robert who would kill people at every turn...
"I was just a little curious about the human world at first, but when I saw some people suffering from injuries and illnesses, I decided to help them, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." However, Mera did not answer Tony Stark's continuous questions. She sighed with her eyebrows furrowed, and a light of struggle flashed in her beautiful eyes.
If possible, Mera would definitely want to continue to help others with the horse charm, but the previous situation was indeed as Robert said. Those so-called injured people had been replaced by people with ulterior motives, and Mera was obviously unable to distinguish the good and evil of each person. The existence of the horse charm also affected her exploration of human society and even posed a threat to her life...
The horse charm can indeed heal Mera's injuries and eliminate all negative effects, but it cannot make Mera immune to death. If someone sets up a trap next time, Mera may not be able to withstand it.
"Alas!" Thinking of this, Mera sighed lightly, and finally did not choose to take the horse charm back to the ocean, but wrapped it with water and sent it to Robert.
During the short conversation, Mera felt that among the three people in front of her, at least two were not bad people, because they did not use any coercive means or sneak attack her, and said some strange words...
Tony Stark: ? ? ?
"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice. If possible, you'd better change your outfit next time you appear. After all, many people have seen your appearance..." Robert reminded Mera as she slowly sank into the ocean.
"Thank you for your reminder." Mera nodded and said softly.
"I can help you delete the video footage they took before!" Tony Stark also shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
"Splash!" Mera did not answer Tony Stark, and her figure completely sank into the water and disappeared.
"..." Tony Stark was silent under the mecha for a while, "JARVIS, am I not handsome enough?"
"Sir, I don't think anyone will think you are handsome after seeing a big hole in your chest..." JARVIS thought for a while, and replied in the same venomous way as Tony Stark.
"..." Tony Stark's mouth twitched slightly, "I will format you when I go back!"
"Sir, before formatting me, maybe you need to deal with the two gentlemen next to you..." JARVIS reminded, "From the previous performance of Mr. Vegeta, your mecha may not last more than five seconds in his hands!"
Tony Stark came back to his senses after hearing this, and found that Robert and Jackie Chan were staring at him with sharp eyes...
