Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 170 Three Hahs, Four Hahs, Five Hahs (Fourth Update)
Jacksonville, Central Plaza.

By this time, the surrounding area was covered in yellow sand. Just cleaning up this sand would be enough to make the municipal staff very rich.

However, none of this concerns the members of the Avengers.

At this moment, Natasha, the 'Hulk switch,' is calming down the Hulk who is smashing the car.

Hawkeye, who had been missing for some time, is now escorting Sandman, the mastermind behind all this, along with Captain America, waiting for a S.H.I.E.L.D. plane to pick him up and imprison him.

Luca, piloting the Husky Armor, took two steps forward with some curiosity and looked at the handcuffs on Sandman's hands.

"Is this thing really useful? It can turn into sand, cutting off a hand would be a piece of cake for it."

As he spoke, Luca gestured twice at Sandman's wrist, causing Sandman, whose shoulders were being held down by Captain America and Hawkeye, to instinctively shrink back.

"These are power-limiting handcuffs, the latest research from S.H.I.E.L.D., which work on most superpowered individuals."

Captain America, who was standing nearby, spoke up to explain.

Since Luca rarely participates in the Avengers' 'group activities', the two of them don't actually meet that many times.

However, in Steve's mind, 'Metal Knight,' who has participated in fighting criminals and saving people many times, is also a superhero with a sense of justice, so he naturally doesn't hesitate to explain these things to him.

At this moment, Gwen hopped forward and said in a tone that seemed to be asking for credit.

"I also participated in the research on ability-limiting handcuffs~"

Upon hearing this, Luca's lips twitched, and he turned to look at Gwen, who was smiling, and retorted mercilessly.

"You, an expert with special abilities, are involved in the research and development of this kind of thing? Are you going to be a product experience officer?"

Gwen wrinkled her nose slightly upon hearing this and gave a soft snort.

"What? I'm a genius too, okay? Besides, with so many strange and wonderful ability users invading, we need some means to stop them from causing trouble, right?"

"."

As soon as Gwen said that, Luca's lips twitched even more violently.

'Young lady, have you forgotten that you are also an invader from another world?'

"If you ask me, there's no need for all that trouble. For someone with abilities like Sandman, just put him in a water tank, and he won't be able to escape!"

What Luca actually meant was to use the [dehydration gun] to turn all these people into cubes.

No one will cause trouble or run away, and they can practically achieve immortality. Maybe these people will even thank them.

However, even though Luca forcibly changed 'dehydration' to 'watering', his proposed solution still drew the attention of all the other Avengers.

Even Dr. Banner, who had just regained his human form, instinctively opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief.

Tony even reached out and placed his large hand on the husky mecha's head, rubbing it vigorously.

"You brat, you should use these brilliant ideas on your little inventions instead."

However, it was precisely because of this banter that the tense atmosphere that had just ended after a major battle was greatly relieved.

As the Quinjet from S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived, Tony asked Luca a question.

"We're planning to have a small get-together later, to relax after being busy lately. How about it? You want to come along?"

Tony wasn't asking about the husky armor in front of him, but rather about Luca behind it.

After this period of interaction, Luca can be considered half a member of the Avengers.

In addition, because of the company, Luca is a public figure, and Tony thinks that he might not be so resistant to the idea of ​​his true form showing up now.

However, upon hearing Tony's words, Luca pretended not to understand. He simply looked at his body with a puzzled expression, controlling the husky mech, and said in a strange tone.

"I'd just go there and watch you eat and drink? That doesn't seem right, does it?"

Upon hearing Luca's words, Tony understood what he meant and immediately stopped trying to persuade him. He simply patted the Husky mech on the shoulder and then turned to board the Quinjet.

In fact, Luca was not actually against the fact that his true form had appeared at this time.

On the one hand, because of the Hydra incident, Luca felt a little guilty about taking the initiative to meet with top agents like Natasha and wanted to keep a proper distance.

Another reason is that Luca wasn't just controlling the 'Husky Mech' at this point.

Sending the 'Two-Husky Mech' to help was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

At the same time that the husky mech was deployed, three other mechs of different colors took off simultaneously from the Orange family's garage, and they were all heading to the same destination: Florida.

However, it wasn't Jacksonville, but the neighboring city of Miami.

"Three huskies and four huskies are ready."

"Ding ding ding~ Five huskies are in position!"

At this moment, above a relatively secluded villa estate in Miami.

The three colors of Haro mechs—red and white, blue and white, and green and white—are arranged in a triangle and float steadily in the air.

Meanwhile, in his own villa laboratory, after hearing Hakimi's report, Luca gave the husky the command to return automatically and then switched the screen to '345'.

"Hmm~ That's pretty extravagant. The filming location they found for an actor is even more luxurious than my house?"

Hakimi: "Sir, according to the property and tax bureau's records, this estate does not belong to Pioneer Technology; they only signed a ten-year lease agreement."

"Um... okay, hopefully if I damage this place, the original owner of the manor won't ask me to pay compensation."

After the teasing, Luca's expression turned serious again, and he gave the order directly.

"Hello everyone, activate thermal imaging scan!"

The next instant, this sizable European-style manor was projected onto Luca's screen.

Similarly, heat sources were also revealed within the manor.

'Ha, these Extremis Virus warriors have body temperatures over 50 degrees Celsius even in their non-combat states? And no one else noticed?'

"Perform character body matching. Target 1: Aldrezi Killian. Target 2: Maya Hansen. Target 3: Treve Slattery."

In the holographic projection, thermal images flashed by rapidly, and were compared with the three figures that Luca had mentioned.

In the blink of an eye, this simple task was completed.

Hakimi also gave Luca a barely satisfactory answer.

"Target 1 locked, Target 3 locked. Target 2 not detected."

'Hmm? The mastermind and the actors are all here, only the female PhD student isn't?'

"That's true, this is just a filming location; the actual research base is probably elsewhere. But never mind, as long as Killian is here, that's enough!"

Without hesitation, Luca gave the order to the three Haro mechs that were already on standby.

"Get moving, little ones!"
