In the office.
Kingpin was still wondering if the mechanisms downstairs could stop the two invaders.
Just then, a blue lightning bolt pierced through the building's wall.
The hard wall seemed non-existent under the lightning, instantly penetrated, followed by Kingpin's body, the floor...
The lightning bolt pierced all the way through, instantly puncturing the entire Fisk Tower, then directly plunged into the ground, blasting out a huge, bottomless hole!
The rumbling sound only belatedly echoed at this moment, and Luke Cage and Jessica, who had just been cautiously observing their surroundings, were now startled by this sudden scene.
"What was that just now?!"
Jessica looked at a charred hole three meters in front of her, completely stunned.
Luke Cage, who was beside her, was not doing much better.
At this moment, cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
He felt that if that lightning bolt had landed on him, even with his body's defensive capabilities, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that level of attack and would have been instantly torn to shreds.
At this point, the two of them walked to the edge of the hole and looked up.
What met their eyes was a sky full of twinkling stars.
They actually saw the sky from inside the building!
This meant that the lightning bolt had indeed fallen from the sky. Could it be that Kingpin had done too many evil deeds, and so he was struck by lightning from the heavens?
But could lightning be that terrifying?
Directly penetrating 30 floors of Fisk Tower?
The two of them racked their brains but couldn't understand.
Meanwhile, Rhodey, who had fired an electromagnetic cannon, had already left after seeing Kingpin completely pulverized.
Before he left, he also retrieved the marble he had just used.
That thing was completely unharmed, truly worthy of being a super metal with a melting point above 500,000 degrees. If it had been any other metal, it would have evaporated after flying a hundred or two hundred meters.
It would have been impossible for it to fly that far, penetrate the entire Fisk Tower, and then remain completely unscathed!
An electromagnetic cannon made from this kind of super metal combined with Rhodey's Magnetic Field Manipulation was simply a perfect match!
...
Paradise Tower.
When Rhodey returned from Hells Kitchen, he saw that Daisy was indeed still sitting in the living room, waiting for him.
Upon seeing Rhodey return, Daisy quickly ran over and pulled him, examining him up and down.
Only after confirming that Rhodey was not injured at all did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Rhodey also smiled and said, "What are you thinking? How could a mere Kingpin injure me?"
In fact, Kingpin didn't even get to see Rhodey before he was blasted to smithereens by his electromagnetic cannon.
Injured?
What was that?
Rhodey stated that he had no idea what being injured felt like.
"I was just worried about you!"
Daisy gently patted him, then asked about the specific situation, and Rhodey described the process.
Hearing that Rhodey had only launched an attack from a distance and solved Kingpin.
Daisy couldn't help but laugh.
"The dignified underground emperor of New York probably never dreamed that one day he would die such a humiliating death, right?"
Daisy said with a smile, looking very happy.
After all, Kingpin had previously sent people to chase her. Although she was unharmed, she was still startled.
Now, hearing that Kingpin died in such a laughable way, Daisy was naturally happy.
Besides;
People like Kingpin should have died a long time ago!
Daisy would not feel any pity for the death of such a person.
"Alright, now that your trouble is solved, you can have a good night's sleep."
Rhodey gently pinched Daisy's cute nose and said to her.
Feeling Rhodey's intimate gesture, Daisy did not dodge this time but actively hugged him.
"Rhodey, thank you for always being so good to me!"
Daisy said softly.
"Why are you suddenly getting sentimental?"
Rhodey looked down at her face, then slowly leaned in.
A moment later;
Daisy, blushing, said, "I'm tired," and ran back to her room.
Rhodey, standing in the living room, also smiled, then turned and went to take a shower.
After the two left, Red Devil, who was sleeping in his small nest nearby, also opened his eyes, revealing a humanized look of disdain in them, then rolled over and continued to sleep.
The next day at noon.
Gwen finished school.
Rhodey and the others didn't go out today but ordered delivery from Paradise Tower at home.
At this time, an international news report suddenly began playing on the TV.
It turned out that for some unknown reason, the Avengers had gone to the capital of the Stick Nation and caused a huge commotion, damaging many buildings and causing hundreds of injuries and even deaths.
Therefore, the Stick Nation expressed strong condemnation of the Avengers' behavior. They publicly demanded an explanation from the Avengers, and even an apology and compensation!
However, the Avengers seemed to have no response, probably busy dealing with other matters.
"Why did the Avengers go to the Stick Nation again?"
Daisy said, chewing on a piece of spare rib, while watching the TV screen.
They were eating Chinese food for lunch today.
Authentic Chinese food!
Authentic Chinese food could still be found at Paradise Tower.
However, Gwen and Daisy weren't used to many of the dishes, so Rhodey ordered sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, and other dishes for them.
These sweet and sour dishes suited their tastes perfectly.
The two of them also praised the food, agreeing with what Rhodey had said last time: this was indeed truly authentic Chinese food; the previous restaurant's food was not authentic at all.
"Oh, right, Rhodey, aren't you quite fond of the girl groups from the Stick Nation? Last time, Harry Osborn even invited you to a yacht party. Now that the Avengers have gone to the Stick Nation to fight, I wonder if your favorite girl groups were hurt?"
Daisy suddenly turned her head to look at Rhodey across from her, teasing him with a grin.
"Eat your food!"
Rhodey unhappily picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.
This made Daisy both shy and angry.
Mainly because Gwen was still watching!
She was startled.
Daisy secretly glanced at Gwen, found that Gwen was intently watching the TV screen and didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she glared at Rhodey, giving him a look that warned him not to mess around.
At this moment, Gwen, who was nearby, suddenly said, "Natasha called me yesterday. It seemed like she had something going on, but I was rehearsing at the time, so I hung up after only a couple of sentences."
"Now that I think about it, maybe Natasha had something she needed me for, like this matter."
She pointed to a scene on the TV screen.
The screen showed that the area where the Avengers had fought was indeed quite tragic.
There were burning buildings everywhere, overturned cars on the side of the road, people sitting on the ground crying, and people shouting their family members' names at the ruins.
Gwen felt a little regretful. Perhaps if she hadn't been so hasty in hanging up Natasha's call, she might have been able to help.
In that case, there might have been fewer injured people in the scene.
After all, Gwen's current strength was still very strong.
She was very confident in herself.
"Don't think so much. Since it has already happened, don't dwell on it."
Rhodey gently held Gwen's hand and comforted her.
Hearing this, Gwen also nodded and said, "Mm, indeed, we can't change what has already happened, but I plan to call Natasha later and ask if they still need help."
"Do you want to count me in?"
Daisy said, looking a bit eager to try.
Before Gwen could answer her, she was hit on the head by Rhodey.
