The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 369 Reunion

"Fu~"

He leaned lazily on the luxurious yet somewhat dark sofa, slowly exhaling a smoke ring, which slowly rose and spread in the air.

He had a smug look on his face, his tone full of sarcasm and complacency: "Look at the situation now. I only need one phone call, and those so-called transvestite freaks will be hunted down by the police. Hahahaha, my business is getting better and better."

After saying this, the smile on his face became wider, as if the whole world was under his control.

Indeed, we are not afraid of god-like opponents, but we are afraid of pig-like teammates. The real-name registration initiative of superheroes, which seems to be promoted by the US government to strengthen management, has not only caused serious divisions among superheroes, but also created unbridgeable rifts between them.

It also unexpectedly created extremely convenient conditions for these criminals to commit crimes.

The criminal acts that were once somewhat restrained under the threat of superheroes are now growing wildly like weeds. The public security in the entire city has become worse and worse, and the people are living in fear and anxiety.

It has to be said that this was a really bad move by the US government. They were so focused on not allowing civilian forces to go beyond their control that they never expected that it would lead to such serious consequences.

"You're their number one target," Kingpin sat up slightly, flicked the cigarette in his hand, and a subtle flash of worry flashed in his eyes. He reminded Weiss, "A wanted notice has been issued."

Although Weiss is powerful, he is now standing in opposition to the entire US government.

The power of the government cannot be underestimated. Once it is really targeted with all its strength, it will probably get into considerable trouble.

However, Weiss only raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't take it to heart at all.

In his eyes, if the US government dares to take action against him, he doesn't mind doing some "interesting" things in response to let them see his methods. He is never a person who will sit and wait for death.

"How are your wife and children?"

Weiss changed the subject.

Jin Bing, who had been full of pride just now, suddenly seemed to have all his strength drained away and became depressed.

He has always been obsessed with resurrecting his wife and children, and has invested a lot of resources in searching for various mysterious methods.

Believing that dragon bones had the magical power of bringing the dead back to life, he tried to use them for experiments with great hope. However, the result was not smooth, and his wife and children did not return to him as he wished.

Now, he could only continue to look for other ways. The pain and loneliness in his eyes made his usual arrogance dissipate a lot.

After all, this was Kingpin's private matter, concerning the softest and most painful emotional bond in his heart. Wes knew that it was difficult for others to really intervene in it, so it was not good for him to intervene too much. He just sighed silently and got up to leave the building.

When Wes walked on the prosperous yet filthy streets of New York, even though it was still bright and sunny in the daytime, beneath the seemingly normal surface of the streets, there were undercurrents of various evils.

With his keen senses, Weiss clearly sensed that within those dark, narrow alleys, heinous robberies were unfolding. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, the preoccupations of the street heroes, and the severe shortage of police, the criminals wantonly assaulted passersby, snatching their belongings and assaulting any resistance. The victims' cries for help echoed through the alleys, but few dared to intervene.

What's even more outrageous is that there is a group of daring robbers who are planning to rob a bank.

Armed with weapons and with their faces covered, they rushed towards the bank door aggressively, completely ignoring the terrified eyes of the people around them. This city has become a criminal paradise where they can do whatever they want.

New York originally had many street heroes. They were active in every corner of the city on weekdays, and whenever a crime occurred, they would always stand up first.

But the situation is completely different now. Due to a series of chain reactions triggered by the real-name registration of superheroes, most street heroes either choose to hide to avoid being tracked down by the government;

Or they are caught up in internal divisions and disputes and have no time to deal with the issue of fighting crime.

As a result, the police are completely overwhelmed by the endless stream of criminal activities. Even if all officers are mobilized, it will only be a drop in the bucket and will not be able to curb the trend of soaring crime rates.

At this moment, iron armor would fly across the sky from time to time. Those were Tony's iron troops carrying out their missions.

Relying on his outstanding wisdom and strong financial resources, Tony Stark has developed and manufactured various types of armor. These armors have their own magical powers and can deal with various emergencies.

Some models are specially designed to deal with fires and are equipped with efficient fire extinguishing equipment, which can quickly put out fires and rescue trapped people;

Some are good at handling crimes such as robbery. They are equipped with advanced tracking and attack systems and can quickly subdue robbers when faced with them.

Tony single-handedly reduced the crime rate in New York to a certain extent and made a great contribution to the city's public security.

But after all, a person's energy is limited. New York is such a big city that there are countless emergencies every day. Even if Tony has the Iron Man to help, there will always be times when he is too busy to handle everything.

The criminals also figured this out, and often took advantage of the time when the Iron Army rushed to other places for rescue to quickly commit crimes and then escape, causing Tony and the police a lot of headaches. The whole of New York is still shrouded in the shadow of crime.

Wes returned to the potion shop slowly. As soon as he reached the door, he found that Tony had been waiting for a long time.

Wes was not surprised at this. After all, with Tony's ability and the advanced technology he possessed, the entire New York city could be said to be within his surveillance range. It was normal for him to know his whereabouts.

"I think we should talk."

Tony spoke first, and as he spoke, he slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep eyes that could not hide his fatigue.

During this period, he was busy dealing with the disputes within the Avengers caused by real-name registration, and commanding the Iron Legion to deal with continuous criminal incidents throughout New York. He had almost no time to rest, and his body and mind were under tremendous pressure. The tired look was deeply imprinted on his face.

Weiss glanced at him and said nothing more. He just quietly opened the door, made a gesture of invitation to Tony, and said softly, "Come in."
