The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 161 Bounty
Weiss walked into an abandoned building with a calm expression.

The walls of the dilapidated building were covered with mottled marks, and most of the window glass was broken, leaving only sharp fragments swaying slightly in the wind.

Sunlight streamed into the building through the broken windows, forming slanted beams of light in which dust danced slowly.

The people who were targeting him slowly walked out from the darkness, their figures appearing a little blurry in the dim light.

"He found us."

One of them whispered, with a hint of surprise and uneasiness in his tone.

"It's not surprising. Without such strength, how could he deserve such an exaggerated bounty?"

"What do you think we should do?"

Someone else asked, a hint of hesitation in his voice.

These dozen people are a team of mercenaries. They have experienced many dangerous missions together and have tacit cooperation and rich combat experience.

"Let's do our best. Once we finish this order, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives."

A burly mercenary said through gritted teeth.

"That's right, I'll retire after I finish this job." Another mercenary echoed.

The high bounty made these mercenaries crazy. They seemed to see a luxurious life in the future beckoning to them.

But they were not unprepared.

Several people quickly dispersed and began to scout the surrounding environment.

Several of them found a vantage point on a higher floor opposite.

A fully loaded pickup truck slowly drove up, the roar of its engine seeming particularly loud in the quiet street.

The pickup truck stopped near the building, and the mercenaries quickly lifted the canvas, revealing all kinds of advanced weapons inside.

HK G36C short assault rifles, AWP sniper rifles, PKM general-purpose machine guns are neatly arranged, as well as advanced drone equipment.

A mercenary skillfully flew a drone into the building to search for Wes.

The drone's propellers made a soft humming sound.

The two snipers quickly occupied the high ground. They adjusted their scopes and focused their attention on the entrances and windows of the building.

Others put on their tactical vests, checked their weapons and equipment, and then carefully entered the building.

Even though there was only one enemy, they were still very cautious and took every step with extreme care, for fear of making any noise.

The person operating the drone informed his teammates: "The target is on the fifth floor. He seems to have spotted me..."

The voice died down before he could finish his words.

"What happened? Answer me now!!"

The captain urged anxiously, his voice sounding particularly tense in the headphones.

However, no matter how the captain urged, there was no sound from the headphones.

"Tom, Jack, have you found anything?" the captain asked anxiously to the two snipers occupying the commanding heights.

"Captain, we didn't see anything." The snipers responded, their eyes also full of confusion.

The captain had a bad feeling and began to hesitate.

Should we continue to advance or retreat? This question kept circling in his mind.

"Da~"

"Da~"

Weiss walked down slowly, his footsteps particularly clear in the silent building.

More than a dozen gun barrels were instantly pointed at Weiss, and the black muzzles exuded the breath of death.

Looking at the weapons in their hands, Weiss laughed: "You don't know anything."

If they were from S.H.I.E.L.D., the weapons in their hands would be more advanced.

Seeing Wes's fearless look, the captain knew that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended this time.

Superpowers were no longer a secret. Those possessing them often possessed immense strength, something mercenaries like these couldn't easily counter. "Can you spare my life?" the captain pleaded, dropping his gun.

Wes didn't expect this person to be so sensible, he was too embarrassed to take action.

The captain asked the mercenaries to put down their guns, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and tried to light one for Wes.

"You..." Seeing this familiar action, Weiss was speechless for the first time by an ordinary person.

"Where did you learn that?" Wes asked.

"I had a team member who was from Long Country, and I learned it from him." The captain replied respectfully.

"Tell me about it." Weiss took the cigarette but didn't smoke it.

Seeing Wes take the cigarette, the captain felt relieved.

"It's like this..." the captain began to tell the story.

I don’t know who issued the reward, but the reward is as high as 3 million US dollars.

There was only a photo and name, no other information.

This caused a huge uproar in the mercenary world and killer organizations.

Such a high bounty was unprecedented, and countless killers, mercenaries, and gangsters were all excited and flocked to New York.

They had just finished a mission and were taking a short break in New York.

While they were wandering around, they unexpectedly discovered Steve.

One of the team members happened to be a big fan of Steve.

Just as this team member was happily interacting with Steve, his eyes swept over Wes who was standing next to Steve.

So they followed Wes all the way.

[The ones who issued the bounty are S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and the U.S. military...]

Weiss holds the scepter, and many people couldn't sleep well at night after hearing the news.

They knew the scepter had the power to control people's hearts and minds, and they understood what it meant for Weiss to wield such a powerful weapon.

In their eyes, Wes is like a bomb that may explode at any time, making people full of anxiety and worry.

【These mercenaries are nothing more than cannon fodder.】

For the forces behind the scenes, these mercenaries are just pawns they use to test Weiss's strength.

"You go."

"Ok."

"When you get out, spread the word that I'm here."

"Ok."

The captain didn't dare to ask the reason, he just obeyed Wes's orders respectfully.

After evacuating the building with their men, someone in the team couldn't help but ask, "Captain, is this the end of it?"

The captain glared at him and said, "Can't you see that he's showing mercy?"

The team member was still a little unwilling and muttered: "Is that pretty boy really that powerful?"

The captain sneered and said, "Haha~ Iron Man and Captain America are awesome, right?"

The team member was silent. He certainly knew how powerful Iron Man and Captain America were.

"He also has super powers." The captain added.

The captain was a smart man and he figured out the key.

They are just tools used by the forces behind the scenes, and now they must get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Hurry up, I have a feeling something big is going to happen here!" The captain's tone was full of tension and anxiety.

A dozen people piled into a beat-up pickup truck and hurriedly left Hell's Kitchen.
