Chapter 2 Hijacking

"!?"

The icy cold and dampness woke up Li Buying from his coma. He coughed a few times and moved his fingers slightly, and found that his hands and ankles were tied to the chair.

Looking up and looking around, he seemed to be in a sewer. Judging from the dust and dry ground, it was an abandoned area. There were sofas, high-tech equipment that Li Buying couldn't understand, and food. It was obviously used as a base.

In front of Li Buying was a tall man holding a water cup. It was obvious that he was woken up by him. Two burly men disguised as policemen were behind him.

"Buying Li, hello."

The man with scars on his face looked relaxed. Seeing Li Buying wake up, he smiled slightly and looked at him with interest.

Li Buying sighed: "It's been six years. My parents didn't get any vibranium-related information from the Horizon Laboratory. Isn't this a well-known fact?"

"Oh~, this is none of my business. My employer just asked me to take you there." The mercenary said with a smile.

As expected.

Li Buying was filled with helplessness and resentment that he had nowhere to vent.

His parents were not ordinary people, but two scientists, or scientist assistants, who worked at Horizon Labs and had helped a great doctor study vibranium there.

Li Buying didn't know much about Horizon Labs, but he knew about vibranium, a super-powerful and super-famous metal in Marvel Comics. There must be many good and bad people who wanted to get it.

So when someone came to his house to search, Li Buying pretended to be deaf and dumb and let them search by themselves, and he pretended to know nothing and said a few words.

Fortunately, he was only twelve years old at the time, and because of his weak body, he looked small, and no one thought that Li Buying knew where his parents hid the possible vibranium information.

But he never expected that after so many years, there were still people who wanted to get the vibranium information.

Time remaining for the mission——[2:00:02]

====

Two hours left, now it’s nine o’clock in the evening…

Li Buying lowered his head and coughed while staring at the status bar, his fists clenched behind his back. Suddenly, his hair was grabbed and lifted up. When the mercenary saw his indignant look, Li Buying hid his resentment and felt helpless, his anger accumulating.

He hated the feeling of powerlessness.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, I also want to know whether you know whether your parents have ever obtained the information about artificial vibranium [reverbium]."

The scarred mercenary looked at Li Buying with a smile. The pale boy did not respond. He was in a low mood and seemed to be accustomed to kidnapping. "I don't believe that you didn't turn my house upside down when you kidnapped me. Did you find anything?"

"Unfortunately, no."

The mercenary let go of Li Buying's hair. He was just asking casually. He also didn't think a 12-year-old child knew anything. As soon as he sat back on the sofa, his mobile phone rang.

"What do you mean, did you catch my dear little friend?"

A deep voice came from the other side. Li Buying cocked his ears to listen to the conversation between the two. The mercenary put one foot on the low table, but his tone showed full respect: "My dear underworld king, the person has been found. When do you need him?"

"It's not that I need him... just send him to the nearest port on time at 1 a.m., and there will be a ship to pick you up."

"The reward--"

A light flashed in the mercenary's eyes, and then he heard the news that made him extremely excited: "Half of the money has been transferred to your account, and the other half is waiting for you. I'll call you back after I send the person to the ship."

"Happy cooperation, King of the Mafia!"

Li Buying listened to the conversation between the two, and had some guesses about the person on the other end of the phone. There are not many people who can be called the King of the Mafia in Marvel, and there is only one person who is called this in New York——

Wilson Fisk, or his nickname [Kingpin], is Daredevil's number one enemy, Neighbor Man's main enemy, and the king who leads the New York gangs...

Kingpin has many names, but Li Buying still knows this muscular fat man from watching Spider-Man animation. He can basically confirm that it is this mafia emperor who hired the kidnapper to kidnap him.

But from the tone of the other end, it seems that he is not the one who wants to kidnap him. Kingpin is just a middleman, and there are others who want the vibranium information.

If it is a larger villain organization, it is probably a branch of Hydra? If it is a smaller villain organization, it is probably a company?

Li Buying made random guesses, looking up at the mercenary who was excited about the money being deposited into his account, wondering if he was also a villain. After all, there are many mercenary villains without superpowers in Marvel.

The two burly men were already used to their boss showing joy. The mercenary who seemed to be a villain snapped his fingers, pointed at Li Buying and said to the two: "Keep an eye on this little guy. I'll go to the port first to see if anyone wants to rob the thieves. Wait for me to come back."

"Understood, boss."

The leader came out of the small door, and the two burly men relaxed and lay on the sofa to eat and drink. They didn't think that a weak yellow man could escape from their hands, so there was no need to keep watching him.

Li Buying lowered his head and said nothing. He rubbed his fingers together and kept looking around to familiarize himself with the environment.

The only thing he could rely on now was the system's ability to randomly pick a reliable hero, even if it was Hawkeye's combat memory, but not Iron Man's knowledge.

...

At 10:59:01 pm, the mercenary who went to investigate still hadn't returned.

Time remaining for the mission - [00:00:59]

====

Time is almost up... Time is almost up!

Li Buying, who was about to celebrate his 18th birthday, was extremely anxious. The violent beating of his heart made his pale face appear a little sickly red. The two mercenaries were unaware of it and were still eating pizza and watching movies. They didn't think Li Buying could do anything to them.

Calm down... Calm down... There is a dagger on the shelf near me, and there are bottles of wine under their feet and at my feet...

Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down. Li Buying knows that you can't just rely on superpowers. You need to carefully observe the environment and think about the strategy of the battle to get through this most difficult minute.

10...9...

With only ten seconds left, the boy in crisis held his breath and didn't think about countermeasures anymore, watching the countdown on the panel end.

The remaining time of the mission is [00:00:00].

Mission completed!

Congratulations on surviving to the age of 18. Next, start to draw the mission reward.

Thousands of light spots suddenly appeared on the panel. Those light spots gathered together and kept changing. Li Buying saw the logos of those superheroes, not only Marvel's, but also the familiar logos of the DC universe.

S, lightning hammer, bat mark, shield in the color of the American flag, round lamp emitting light blue light...

All the light spots gathered together and emitted a strong light in an instant. Li Buying felt his body was slightly hot. When the light dissipated, the symbol that appeared was a black spider crawling on a white web.

====

Congratulations on obtaining the basic ability of [Spider-Man]. This version is closer to Tobey Maguire...

Without seeing the next words, Li Buying clenched his fists suddenly, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes. A terrifying heat current made Li Buying's thin body burst out with unparalleled power!
