Absolutely! How could any businessman do a losing business?

Nine hundred thousand tons of heavy elements might have vastly different values ​​for Earthlings and Yabos; who knows what terrifying things they could create by putting them on a production line.

Damn, the price scissors are indeed an indispensable part of trade, and even interstellar civilizations are not immune to it... No, perhaps it is precisely because of the advanced nature of interstellar civilizations that they can use such methods with impunity.

But for Mason, there was naturally no reason for him to hesitate.

For him, Black Stone Xia Yu's existence was a very important "start-up capital." With her, Mason could single-handedly humiliate most of the forces on Earth. As long as he didn't encounter any particularly outrageous monsters and demons, he could do many things without restraint. So he was determined to raise the money to buy her.

As for where to get the money... well, that's still the same topic, this is the Marvel Universe!

—At worst, I'll just raid the S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouse, or even go all out and sneak into the prison to capture a few mutant criminals and sell them—doesn't the Yapool collect biomass? Surely they'd be interested in these high-end Celestial products like mutants, right?

"I see." Mason nodded. "Then, there's one more question—"

"Please speak, sir."

"Can you come up with a sophisticated exit?" he said. "It has to be classy, ​​intimidating, and perfectly evade tracking."

"Of course." Upon hearing this, Heishi Xiayu immediately perked up. "To be honest, this is our Super Beast's area of ​​expertise!"

Next, Mason had another conversation with her about this. That's the advantage of the mental world; hundreds or even thousands of words can be exchanged in two seconds. Therefore, from the outside, he doesn't seem to have any reaction delays.

Therefore, the Invisible Woman Susan was naturally completely unaware.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "The kidnapping of an entire hospital by criminals is a very serious terrorist attack—so, if you don't mind, please come with us to S.H.I.E.L.D.—we won't ask for anything, we just want to know the details of what happened."

That's the art of speaking. If the same thing were said by someone with low emotional intelligence like Reed or a megalomaniac like Tony, there's at least an 80% chance it would be annoying. But when a beautiful woman like her pleads softly, the result is usually "it's okay to go."

As for whether the claim that going to S.H.I.E.L.D. is just for questioning is true... we're all adults here. Even if you believe your own dog can cook four dishes and a soup, you can't believe this, right?

Mason didn't think these superheroes had any ill intentions, but good intentions and good deeds are never the same thing, and it's hard for a purely good person not to be bullied in this world.

With this in mind, he immediately prepared his next plan.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I'm just summarizing my life over the past period of time."

He gave a slightly mocking smile: "The Earth government is not qualified to stand in a high position and order me around, and neither are you—I respect your courage, but please understand the difference in power."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Susan's shoulder.

"!"

An instinctive sense of crisis immediately gave her goosebumps. Her long training allowed her to act faster than she could think in that instant. Just before her palm touched her shoulder, a transparent shield that glowed blue and resembled ripples of water appeared on Susan's body.

This is one of her abilities: creating a protective force field.

Depending on how it's used, this ability can be used for both offense and defense, making it extremely versatile. In terms of defense alone, it has dual resistance to energy and matter, making it easy to withstand direct hits from rockets or even tank main cannons, and it's also easy to hold up collapsed houses. To put it simply, if she were to fight the beast from earlier, she could hold out for several minutes even just by standing on her tortoise shell and taking hits.

However, Mason simply placed his palm on the protective barrier with a casual movement, and then pressed down—

Click.

The cracks spread, and as Mason gently bent his fingers, the protective force field, which had almost never been breached outside the laboratory since its debut, was easily torn open like a piece of paper.

Then, Mason naturally placed his hand on Susan's shoulder.

"!"

Although the hands were smaller and more delicate than her own, they gave Susan a sense of oppression, like an ordinary person standing under an industrial hydraulic press.

Seeing this, the others immediately prepared to rush forward. Spider-Man was naturally the fastest. He covered a distance of more than ten meters in a single step, circled around from the side, raised his hand and shot out a spider web that stuck to Susan's back. Then, with a strong pull, he pulled her out from Mason's grasp.

Next was Jonathan, who had a fiery temper and was somewhat of a tsundere sister-complex type. So, the moment he saw Susan's protective force field being easily torn apart, he panicked and immediately lunged forward, high-temperature flames gathering between his hands, ready to be unleashed—

To be honest, Mason really doesn't understand why people with reliable ranged attack capabilities would insist on jumping in for melee combat.

So he took a step forward, entering Jonathan's unfinished attack range before he could finish, and without doing anything, he simply raised his hand and hooked his shoulder from the side, then stopped.

Caught off guard, Jonathan didn't have the immediate reaction to change direction, so he could only crash straight into a body that was more than a head shorter than him.

In an instant, he recalled the experience of making a mistake while skateboarding in middle school, which resulted in him slamming his head against the wall.

"Holy c%#%……!"

Mason pushed Jonathan, who was dazed and speechless, back a step. The stone man, who arrived a moment later, caught the latter, who was about to fall to the ground. He then glanced at Mason warily, but did not attack. Instead, he led his men to retreat.

"I have a pretty good impression of Earth, which is why I made this decision to give you some advice."

The superheroes, who were frantically trying to devise an effective attack, saw the mysterious woman take a step back and then tap the ground with the toe of her right foot.

A crisp sound, like a mirror shattering, rang out behind her.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

If the space itself were a piece of glass, at this moment, the side behind Mason would have shattered instantly as if struck by a heavy hammer, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions, revealing the red and black space behind the cracks.

The self-proclaimed alien took a step back and entered the mysterious red and black space, then bowed slightly as if to show respect.

"Until we meet again, everyone," she said with a smile. "I hope we'll have the chance to meet again—"

Then, as if time had reversed, the space that had cracked closed up as before, and everything was exactly the same as before, except that some people had disappeared.

..............................

"Is this the compatibility of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? I love it."

At the hospital, Mason breathed a sigh of relief and then collapsed onto the bed.

In the final few seconds, he handed control back to Kuroshi Kasumi, because that kind of high-class retreat was a technical skill that couldn't be done with a single click. Fortunately, she perfectly followed his script and prevented this newcomer from messing things up at the end.

But if you don't have the real strength, you'll naturally pay the price for stubbornly showing off.

His head, which had been throbbing with pain from struggling to adapt to the super beast's advanced sensory system, finally got a rest. To outsiders, he appeared to be bleeding from the nose, pale-faced, and on the verge of death.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

If you go for a check-up now, you might find a series of alarming problems such as high intracranial pressure and excessive fatigue. You might even see strange colored patches floating in your field of vision, and you'll have persistent tinnitus, not to mention countless other minor issues.

But to pretend to be a top star, this price is just a minor, insignificant matter.

Anyway, no one saw it.
