At this time, Kai had no time to hide his ability and was ready to jump from the roof to save Susie, but at this moment, an arrow suddenly shot out. When it approached Susie, the arrowhead suddenly exploded and turned into a net that trapped Susie inside. →

Kai ran to the edge of the roof and looked down, and found that Susie was hanging in a net intact, and she was not injured except for being a little embarrassed.

"Fuck!" Kai burst out a swear word in shock. It was also at this time that a series of words such as "Don't move" and "Put down your weapons" sounded behind Kai. When he turned around, he found embarrassedly that he seemed to have forgotten that the madman had not been dealt with.

What's more embarrassing is that it was also because of his negligence that Joe took the opportunity to hold hostages.

Pepper was held hostage by Joe!

Joe was very experienced and put the machete in his hand against Pepper's neck. He hid behind Pepper, trying not to appear in the enemy's shooting range, and let the hostage in his hand be a shield.

This made the people of SHIELD afraid to attack, especially after Joe showed that magical power.

SHIELD knew who was kidnapped. Tracy, Susie and Alexandra didn't care, but Pepper, the secretary of the president of Stark Industries, was a bit difficult to deal with.

As mentioned earlier, SHIELD has never been a charity organization. They do maintain world peace, but for peace they don't really mind sacrificing some civilians. Anyway, with their strength, they can suppress a lot of unspeakable news. If it doesn't work, they can also blame the FBI. Anyway, the FBI has had enough black material over the years, so they don't care about this or that.

If Pepper wasn't there, their mission would be to prioritize Joe, and everything else could be put behind. If possible, sacrificing a few civilians would not be unacceptable.

But... the most feared thing in everything is that Pepper's identity has brought great inconvenience to their actions, not for anything else, but because of Stark Industries.

Before SHIELD accepted the jurisdiction of the World Security Council, it was originally a private organization, and at most it was just a name in the Pentagon. SHIELD was originally founded by Howard Stark. The initials of this organization stood for Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division, and later changed to Strategic, Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate.

Although the name of this organization is very grand, it is actually just an organization dedicated to recruiting and subverting German scientists for the United States. During the Cold War, this organization recruited a large number of scientists who fled from the Soviet Union. Because of this, SHIELD is not like other intelligence agencies. SHIELD is international in terms of members, scale and jurisdiction. Many of SHIELD's top agents are recruited from hostile agencies.

Howard Starron also relied on this name to get the support of the US Congress at the time, but in fact the funding source of this organization has always been mainly provided by Stark Industries.

At the end of the Cold War, SHIELD was supposed to lose its function, but with the lobbying and support of Howard and the first director of SHIELD, Agent Carter, the girlfriend of Captain America, and some political and business people, SHIELD was retained.

However, it was also from that time that the full name of SHIELD was officially changed to: Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. Since then, SHIELD has gradually escaped from the control of the US government.

But whether it was before or now, one thing has not changed, that is, Stark Group has always been the big money of SHIELD!

Before his sacrifice, Howard transferred part of his shares to SHIELD free of charge, although there is no clue from the list of shareholders of Stark Group published on the market. → But there is no doubt that SHIELD is still the second largest shareholder of Stark Group.

But even so, the soul of Stark Industries is still the Stark family, in short, the current Tony Starron. Without Tony, Stark Group has no competitive advantage. This is why Tony is unrestrained every day, but no one wants to let him leave the position of president.

So as Tony's confidant, Pepper's safety must be guaranteed. Although SHIELD's current funding source is no longer solely dependent on the Stark Group, they still don't want any accidents to happen if possible.

"Joe! Let go of the hostages, I think we can talk. We don't want to hurt you. We just want to solve the problem." Phil stood up and raised his hand to show that he had no ill intentions. He hoped to use negotiations to solve the problem.

This is also the reason why Phil was promoted to management even though he has always been a weakling in combat. Agents are not good at combat. In fact, most agents don't use force at all. Phil is one of the best. He is more accustomed to using his own advantages to complete tasks.

What advantage?

Naturally, it is super affinity!

Phil may only be qualified in other aspects, but he is definitely far superior to ordinary people in terms of affinity. He can make friends with anyone and make people believe in him for a short time. This ability looks very frustrated, isn't it just a good guy? What's the big deal?

But in fact, as an agent, being able to make people believe in you easily is the greatest ability! Phil can chat with everyone in the entire SHIELD, from the top bosses to the cleaning lady. Isn't this amazing enough?

Look, Phil is now starting to show his strengths again.

Unfortunately, the person he is facing is not a normal person at all. Putting aside whether he is crazy or not, just say that his mental firmness exceeds most people in this world. How can a person who has given everything to his God give up because of a word from others?

"Hehe...'This world is beautiful, we should fight for it', do you know where this sentence comes from?" Joe didn't care about the pain and weakness in his body. Although he was destined to fail to complete his masterpiece, he didn't have the previous sense of urgency, because he knew that as long as his knife was cut, he had completed his mission to a certain extent.

He can now imagine what will happen when Mills learns of Tracy's death. Maybe he will be worse off than dead? This should also be considered as completing the sin of anger.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls in Hemingway's "The Bell Tolls"?"

"That's right! But I only believe the second half!"

Joe doesn't think this world is really beautiful...

The agents of SHIELD have been looking for shooting angles to kill this madman at the lowest cost. Although they really want to get this guy, the problem is that if it is compared with Pepper, SHIELD still knows how to make a choice.

If Pepper gets into trouble, Tony will definitely go crazy. Although Tony has not noticed the existence of SHIELD so far, if SHIELD's actions attract his attention, no one is sure whether he will find out the existence of SHIELD.

Tony is a genius, which is recognized by the whole world. When a genius wants to know what he wants to know, there are too many ways. Apart from anything else, as long as Tony seriously checks the operation and flow of funds of the Stark Group, it is not difficult to find out SHIELD.

Although SHIELD has made very careful arrangements so that people cannot catch SHIELD's pigtails from the financial aspect. →

But for a genius like Tony, nothing is impossible.

So they need to be careful.

There is no way. Different classes, even if it is SHIELD, they should be treated differently. Otherwise, SHIELD's field agents would have opened fire long ago. It is luck that the hostage is not dead. If she dies, it can only be blamed on her bad luck.

Kai has not been involved since just now. What is he doing?

Of course, to rescue the hostages.

Joe doesn't know if he is too mentally disturbed. He has almost forgotten Alexandra. The palate cleft device on her head originally had a trigger device. As long as the trigger device is connected to the mechanism prepared by Joe in advance, Alexandra will play the death game again.

But Joe didn't really forget it. He just didn't have time and didn't connect the trigger device at all. So now the palate cleft device on Alexandra's head is a steel head cover. Except for being a little heavier, there is no harm. Kai easily pulled out the two steel plates inserted into the female model's mouth and removed the palate cleft device.

It happened that this female model was also very cooperative and didn't make any sound.

There is no way. This woman has been in a coma since the appearance of "Hannibal" before.

It can be seen from here that models don't have good bodies. These people can do anything to look beautiful. Look at Tracy. When Kai went to rescue her, others woke up.

When she saw Kai, Tracy wanted to shout and asked Kai to save Pepper. Kai stabilized her and asked the SHIELD agent to take her away.

When only he and the SHIELD agent were left at the scene, Kai slowly walked towards Joe.

Although Joe was a little mentally disturbed, he was not blind or deaf.

"Stop!"

Joe still remembered Kai. He was no less afraid of Kai than the inexplicable Hannibal just now. You know, it was because of Kai that his condition worsened before, otherwise he would not use such a low-quality method to complete his masterpiece.

Kai did not listen to him, but continued to move forward.

When Joe saw that Kai did not listen to him, the strength in his hand immediately increased a little, and the blade in his hand also cut Pepper's neck. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, just some blood, and there was no danger to life. But Kai still stopped.

He only said one sentence, and Joe's face changed drastically.

"You caught the wrong person. She's not Tracy!"

Joe immediately turned Pepper who was blocking him, and found that he really caught the wrong person! This was a woman he didn't know at all!

"Who are you..."

If someone else said this, Joe might not take it seriously at all. He was completely immersed in his own world. But Kai was cheating! Just now, he directly used his mental power to stimulate Joe's brain, causing him to have a little hallucination. Now, the 'Tracy' in his eyes has become a woman he has never seen before.

This stimulation made Joe's attention shift all of a sudden.

"Bang!"

Just when he lost his mind, Kai rushed up with a brisk step and shot at the head of this madman! It was still the modified Desert Eagle!

Joe reacted quickly, and almost instantly blocked the bullet with a shock wave, but this also gave Kai a chance. He grabbed Pepper, who was scared to the point of peeing his pants, and protected her behind him. Then the Desert Eagle in his hand continued to fire at Joe!

"Ah!!!!"

Although Joe blocked Kai's bullet, the mental power attached to the bullet continued to erode Joe's nerves. He felt like his head was going to explode.

The tumor and mental torture made Joe unable to concentrate at all, which caused his shock power to suddenly short-circuit. The shock wave that originally resisted the bullet disappeared, and Kai's two bullets shot into Joe's body without any hindrance. , a bullet hit Joe's right chest, leaving a big hole in his right chest, and another bullet hit his left arm. The power of the modified version of the Desert Eagle directly blew his arm off!

Maybe the bullet shot in his body made Joe get rid of the pain in his head and made him wake up briefly!

He understood that there was no chance of his being spared this time.

“Romans 3:10 says, as it is written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one.’ Because of our sins, we deserve everlasting punishment! (Matthew 25:46).”

He chanted God's verses and opened his arms. "He who is on the path of righteousness, surrounded by selfish and violent villains, blessed with mercy and kindness, leads the weak through the dark valleys, he guards his brothers, searches for lost children, and responds to those who seek to poison my brother. People, I will kill them with great hatred and incomparable anger. When I take revenge, they will know that I am God!"

"Run!!!" When Kai saw this situation, he immediately grabbed Pepper behind him and ran outside. And at the moment when he turned his head, Kai fired the last bullet in the chamber of his gun! Kai didn't intend the bullet to hurt Joe, he just intended to buy some time.

But unexpectedly, the bullet penetrated Qiao's forehead, but the white light on Qiao's body that represented the activation of the supernatural power did not go out, but became brighter and brighter.

The others were not stupid either. They saw the dazzling white light flashing on Qiao's body and didn't understand that this guy planned to die with them!

Unfortunately it's still too late!

A dazzling white light shot into the sky.

Click!

At this moment, it seemed as if the sky could not bear such a powerful force and burst into pieces.

…

Night is the most lively time in Chicago. Darkness always seems to be the best cover for human beings. In the dark night, anyone who would abandon and get rid of the sanctimony.

Chicago during the day is one of the world's international financial centers, the largest commercial center and one of the largest futures markets in the United States. People come and go here, trying to realize their American dream in this city of wealth.

At night, people will put aside the constraints of the day and enjoy themselves to their heart's content. Nightclubs with deafening music are overcrowded. Rich people will also find countless girls with dreams to have sex by the pool, and those who seek excitement will also find sneaky black men in dark corners such as streets and alleys to buy some white powder , come and have a drunken dream.

All in all, Chicago’s nightlife is both incredibly exciting and incredibly decadent.

But that’s part of Chicago’s charm.

But tonight, the city of Chicago was full of people fleeing in panic. Those gorgeous girls didn't care about being reserved and screamed loudly to release their fear. Those sanctimonious men did not have the confidence and stinking of the past, and looked for a safe place with panic on their faces.

Chicago is shaking.

It's not an adjective, it literally means the whole thing is vibrating.

There was an earthquake in Chicago!

…

Kai was holding Pepper and lying in a small space formed by a huge broken cement board. Kai was not sure where he was. But it should still be at the location of the building where it was just now.

He carefully moved Pepper to the side in his arms, he needed a little space. He felt as if one of his ribs was broken. Although it was not serious, it still hurt a little when Pepper pressed on it. Of course, this was not the key. The key was that his calf was pressed directly under the cement board. The calf bone had been fractured and accompanied by Severe displacement. Kai struggled to lift his upper body and found that his calves had been bent at 90 degrees.

It looks scary.

Kai wanted to lift the cement board on top, but when the cement board was slightly lifted, he heard a sound of rocks hitting it. It must be that there were still some cement blocks on top. This made Kai dare not act rashly. Of course it doesn't matter to him if he's alone, but the problem is, isn't there Pepper by his side?

If he moved the cement slab at will and caused a secondary collapse, there was no telling what would happen to him. Pepper would definitely be dead.

There was no other way, Kai could only gently push the calf back to its original position so that it would not hurt so much. Kai's self-healing ability would slowly repair the fracture, so it was okay to leave it alone.

After doing this, Kai looked at Pepper and found that there was blood on her head. He checked and found that she was fine. She just had a broken skin. Apart from a bag on her head and a mild concussion, there should be nothing serious. The consequences were so severe that even blood was lost.

Kai looked at the surrounding environment and found that the air was not turbid and should be breathable. He wouldn't need to worry about being suffocated in a while.

Thinking about this, Kai struggled to take out his mobile phone from his suit pocket.

It's already broken into pieces.

Kai took out the phone card inside, and then took out a new mobile phone from the King's Treasure House. Installed the calling card and made the call.

"Hey! Kai, where are you! Are you okay?" As soon as the call was connected, William's anxious voice came over.

"I'm fine, I won't die for the time being." Kai said angrily: "I don't know my specific location. You can ask someone to locate my mobile phone. By the way, send someone to rescue us as soon as possible. Miss Pepper will By my side."

At this time, there was a burst of noise on the other side of the phone, and then the caller changed.

"Hey, is Miss Pepper okay? Is she injured? I need Miss Pepper to answer the phone!" The voice should be that of Stark's security director Happy.

"Answer the phone? It's probably a bit difficult. She is in a coma now. If you want to see her, I can only send you a selfie, but only if you are not afraid that Pepper will kill you later. She looks really It’s terrible!”

"Is she injured? How is her injury?" Happy immediately became nervous. Originally, Pepper was kidnapped under his protection, which was a serious dereliction of duty on his part. If another accident happened, Happy felt that his career would definitely be ruined. It will be over.

"Hey! Little fat boy! I think you should be more worried about me. I saved your president's secretary and broke his leg by the way. Without me, you would definitely be fired, so I am your savior! "

Hearing Kai's teasing, Happy breathed a sigh of relief. Kai could say it so easily, which meant that Pepper's life was not in danger.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"She is indeed fine now, but that won't be the case after a while. Shouldn't what you want to do now be organize a rescue quickly? Why do you still have time to talk to me on the phone?"

"Yes, yes! You quickly locate their location! We will have Stark Industries' professional rescue team dispatch immediately! Hurry! Miss Pepper is injured! She must be sent to the hospital quickly!"

Then regardless of whether Kai had anything else to say, he hung up the phone.

Kai stared at the disconnected phone, feeling depressed for a while.

Please! My legs are broken, no one cares about me?
