Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 283 The Mother of the Eldest Daughter of the K family (First Update!)

call out!
boom--

A very faint whooshing sound rang out over Times Square, followed immediately by a thunderous explosion that shattered the huge advertising screens on the buildings surrounding Times Square.

next second.

A streak of silver light, too fast for the naked eye to detect, and even too difficult for motion detectors to capture, sped rapidly through the gaps in the stagnant traffic and astonished crowds toward the outskirts of New York City.

Wearing a tight-fitting suit that minimizes wind resistance, Quicksilver Pietro Maximov, sporting a beard, ran at top speed with a red-haired little girl in his arms.

The red-haired girl hugged Quicksilver Pietro tightly around the neck.

"uncle!"

"Qin, what are you doing here?"

"I don't know, I miss Daddy, but Daddy is acting strange, like he doesn't recognize me. By the way, Uncle, can I stay a little longer?"

"no!"

Quicksilver Pietro promptly refused, then said, "Billy and Tommy didn't see you, they were both crying."

Qin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then her voice rang out with some concern: "Why are they crying? I was only out for a short while. Let's go back quickly, Uncle."

Quicksilver Pietro breathed a sigh of relief, grunted in response, and then fell silent, entering the speed dimension and quickly moving away from New York City.

but……

"Got you!"

Hawk, who was in the air, keenly sensed the speed ripples caused by Quicksilver Pietro's acceleration. With a boom, he created a sonic boom cloud and quickly rushed towards Quicksilver.

When Quicksilver Pietro appeared and took the red-haired girl away, he was still thinking about the Time Stone, so he didn't follow immediately.

By the time he caught up, Quicksilver's presence had already left New York City and was continuing to accelerate away at an alarming rate.

Hawke initially thought he had lost track of them.

result……

Quicksilver?

"Ah."

"You're not as fast as me!"

Hawke's inner universe was burning, and even without pushing his speed to its limit, his aura was steadily locked onto Quicksilver.

Meanwhile, Quicksilver, who was ahead of him, was getting closer and closer to him.

True.

Pietro, officially recognized as the fastest character in the Marvel Universe and even nicknamed Quicksilver, possesses unimaginable speed.

Official data.

Quicksilver's speed can reach 800,000 kilometers per hour, which is about Mach 655.

but……

This is Quicksilver's maximum speed, not Hawk's.

It was only a speed of Mach 655. After experiencing sub-light speed, Hawke even felt that this speed was slow.

next second.

After seeing Pietro below enter his attack range, Hawke did not hesitate and threw out his right fist.

"Phoenix! Meteor Fist!"

"Bah!"

Quicksilver's eyes narrowed sharply, and he instinctively froze for a moment.

The moment he stopped in his tracks, the desert area in front of him, spanning ten kilometers in radius in Texas, seemed to be subjected to a full-scale bombardment by a meteor shower.

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Like countless fiery meteors falling, the desert trembled, and even the air itself seemed to vibrate.

Pietro looked at the desert before him, which seemed to have turned into a minefield, and involuntarily swallowed.

He had no doubt that if he hadn't braked in time, he would probably be turned into countless pieces of flesh by now.

Even the zither in his arms...

Just as Pietro was thinking this with horror, Hawke appeared behind him.

Hawke looked at Quicksilver Pietro, who had his back to him, hands in his pockets, and chuckled.

Keep running.

"..."

Quicksilver Pietro turned around, holding his niece Jean in his arms, and looked at Hawke: "She is your daughter."

Qin's eyes lit up, and with a whoosh, she left her uncle Pietro's arms and jumped into Hawke's arms: "Daddy, you're so amazing."

Seeing this, Quicksilver Pietro braked instantly and entered the speed dimension once more, trying to snatch his niece back from Hawke's arms.

boom!
Pietro instantly entered the speed space. At that moment, time was stretched wildly. In Pietro's vision, the movements of Hawke and his niece Jean were frozen indefinitely.

He quickly arrived in front of Hawke.

But just as he reached out to try and take his niece Qin away again.

Something happened.

In Pietro's line of sight, Hawke, whose gaze had not been on him just moments before, now had his eyes on him.

and--

Pietro saw Hawke's lips curl into a smile that was both playful and incredibly oppressive.

He saw me.

This is impossible.

Pietro was startled and instinctively denied it.

But it is what it is.

Hawke held the violin in his arms with one arm, and with the other hand, he reached out and grabbed Pietro by the neck, pulling him out of the speed space.

He looked at Pietro, whose neck he was gripping, and a smile played on his lips.

"Haven't you heard the saying?"

"Is the same move ineffective against a Saint?" The same move is ineffective against a Saint.

The value of this statement is still increasing.

Pietro could snatch the red-haired girl away from him once.

But it will never succeed a second time!
Pietro, whose neck was being squeezed, looked utterly shocked.

However, Hawke didn't intend to do anything to Pietro.

Because the red-haired little girl in his arms said something.

"uncle."

"Boom!"

Hawke loosened his grip and flung Pietro forward.

After landing, Pietro rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, then quickly got up and looked at Hawke: "I have to take the piano back, or my sister, Billy, and Tommy will all die."

Hawke raised an eyebrow, ignoring the second half of Pietro's sentence, glanced at the red-haired girl in his arms, and then looked at Pietro.

"Qin?"

"Yes, Jean!"

Pietro took a deep breath: "My sister says the name comes from French and means God's blessing."

That is indeed what the French word "琴" means.

only……

Hawke listened to the name, which, from a bloodline perspective, was that of his eldest daughter. Then, looking at the four-year-old Qin in his arms, a strange feeling flashed through his mind.

Redheads!

He possesses the power of the phoenix!
Her name is Qin!
"hiss!"

Hawke gasped instinctively, then looked at his eldest daughter, Jean, who had just jumped into his arms but suddenly yawned and then fell asleep with her arms around his neck, and smiled.

Pietro looked at Jean, who was perfectly fine a second ago but fell asleep the next, and glared angrily at Hawke.

"What did you do?"

"relax."

"She's too young to easily control my power. She'll be fine after another nap."

Hawke glanced at Pietro, who looked nervous and thought he had done something to Jean, and said something casually, but didn't want to explain too much. He changed the subject and asked the question that had been on his mind: "I'm curious, how did your sister agree to Sitor do this? Did they threaten you with your life?"

Pietro watched nervously, seeing that Qin was indeed just asleep. Hearing Hawke's words, he looked at Hawke, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, my sister did come voluntarily at first."

Hawke raised an eyebrow.

Looking at Hawke's expression, Pietro gave a self-deprecating smile: "A strong person like you can never understand the plight of two orphans in a war-torn country."

Strong?
me?

Hawke chuckled upon hearing Pietro's words.

Pietro looked at Hawke, his expression turning angry again, thinking Hawke was mocking him.

but!
Hawke's voice was calm.

"I also have a younger sister."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Pietro's anger vanished, and he looked at Hawke with surprise.

Hawke said calmly.

"Her name is Anya."

"Wanda."

Pietro also revealed his sister's name.

It seems that because both of them are brothers and both have younger sisters, the tense atmosphere between them has somewhat dissipated.

Of course, this tense standoff is one-sided.

Because Hawke never showed any signs of aggression.

Pietro was fast, but not as fast as him. If he wanted to kill Pietro, it would be a very easy thing for him.

Again.

Putting aside the fact that Pietro in front of him is, in a sense, his "brother-in-law," just considering Wanda's bug-like ability to alter reality, there's no need for him to risk offending the Scarlet Witch, who would have caused all mutants to disappear after she shouted "There will be no more mutants" in the future.

The most important thing.

His "eldest daughter by blood" was Wanda.

When Hawke saw Anna in the underworld and learned about the Red-haired Lady Sokovia from her, his first thought was of the Scarlet Witch, Wanda.

And Pietro's arrival now only confirms this for him.

but!
Hawke and Pietro exchanged glances: "Once again, how could you agree to Sitor's actions?"

Pietro's voice suppressed anger: "Because we want the power of revenge!"

Stark!
The accident that destroyed their family when he was ten years old planted a deep hatred for the Starks in his and his sister's hearts.

The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

What's more, they are both parents.

Although his parents' deaths were due to the warlord conflicts, the missile that shattered their family was from Stark Industries.

They wanted to become stronger, even stronger, powerful enough to stand before Tony Stark and question him about his reasons for doing what he did.

and so……

Unlike those who were forcibly imprisoned and experimented on by Hydra, he and his sister Wanda joined Hydra voluntarily and participated in their experiments.

"They told my sister that the source of this DNA was a supreme being, and that the owner of this DNA could kill Tony Stark like a dog,"

"indeed."

Hawke met Pietro's seemingly confirming gaze and calmly nodded: "If I wanted to kill Tony Stark, he wouldn't survive."
