Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

When they arrived, Matthew once again displayed even more extraordinary power.

That terrifying, almost tangible aura instantly enveloped the entire ship.

Although this force did not directly press down on them, one could still vaguely sense its destructive power. The entire ship and even the surrounding sea were severely shocked and impacted by this astonishing aura.

The calm sea suddenly churned, and the large ship shook violently and rocked incessantly.

On the entire ship, everyone except the three people who were in solitary confinement with Rachel was killed.

This visual and spiritual shock is enough to make people remember it for a lifetime.

"Okay, let's talk next time. I have other work to do." Kara waved her hand and walked into the ship.

Watching Kara's disappearing figure, Rachel looked at Matthew.

"What are your plans next?"

"Don't you want to know who that big shot is?" Matthew retorted.

"Who?"

Matthew's voice wasn't loud during the interrogation, and it was drowned out by the sound of the wind and waves, so Reich didn't hear it clearly. Therefore, he was very curious about that "big shot".

"Alexander Pierce".

Reicher's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned: "The Secretary-General of the World Security Council?"

"Not only that, he is also the leader of Hydra."

"What?"

Rumble~

A thunderclap boomed across the sky, and it also exploded in Lei Che's heart.

His pupils contracted slightly, almost unable to believe his ears: "It's the Hydra I know?"

"Hmm~"

Matthew had a "what do you think?" look on his face.

Lei Che took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart. Chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, and it took him a long time to sort them out.

"Looks like I need to prepare in advance."

Rachel knew Matthew's personality very well.

Alexander Pierce was a top figure, both openly and secretly, with so much power that he could crush me at any time if he wanted to.

However, Matthew would definitely not pay attention to the so-called important person. The other party had too distinct a personality and was a fearless person. Fortunately, Matthew was not an arrogant person. He was bold but cautious.

However, taking action against Alexander Pierce would inevitably cause a stir, with an impact far exceeding that of the Margrave incident.

"There's no need to be so nervous. He won't die that easily."

Matthew patted Rachel on the shoulder.

..........

A detached house in Washington, D.C.

As night deepened and the maid left, only one person remained in the villa's living room.

A middle-aged man sat on a bar stool, wearing a black sweater, loose trousers, and slippers, with a glass of whiskey in front of him.

He had neatly trimmed short blond hair, fair skin, and an aura of quiet authority.

He took off his glasses and placed them on the bar, then picked up his glass and took a sip.

Just then, his cell phone, which was on the bar counter, suddenly rang with a clear ringtone. He picked it up and answered it.

"Sir, that ship has completely lost contact, and the search has yielded no useful results."

"Nothing was found?"

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, only his voice was slightly cold.

"Yes, the ship was sailing along its planned route when all communication and signals suddenly went down. It must have been someone who activated the signal jamming. Our people went to the area where the ship went missing to search, but we haven't found any wreckage yet, so we can rule out the possibility that it was sunk by a bomb."

"The weather in the sea area was overcast at the time, and the dark clouds obscured the satellite monitoring."

"It seems that our Mr. Reicher has quite a bit of influence behind him."

He said something meaningful, then paused for a moment before continuing, "Let's temporarily abandon the arrest operation and instead conduct a covert investigation. We can't let Fury notice us."

"Yes, sir."

"Rayet Jack, Matthew Brown, how long can you hide?"

A faint sound echoed in the quiet living room.

Apart from the bar lights, the entire villa was shrouded in darkness, and the swaying shadows seemed ready to devour him at any moment.

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

There is a small town in Minnesota called "Devil's Jar," named after the local Devil's Jar Falls.

The town is located in a remote area, and its residents live in a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

The waterfall disappears into thin air after passing through a huge rock vortex, as if swallowed by the earth. According to local legend, this is the entrance to hell.

A legend circulates in the town that if a virgin is sacrificed to Satan on the night of a waning moon, the sacrificer will rise to great heights.

This was just a legend, and even most locals didn't take it seriously. But half a month ago, everything changed.

Disaster struck, and fear and despair enveloped the entire town.

Because the legendary demon has appeared.

For some unknown reason, about two weeks ago, a beautiful high school girl seemed to be possessed by a demon and began to lure young men and devour them.

At first, the disappearances did not attract much attention, but as the number of missing persons continued to increase, people realized that something was wrong.

It was only then that the locals were horrified to discover that as many as twenty people had gone missing.

Just as the local police department began its investigation, a report from a high school girl named Nydy caught the attention of the investigating officers.

According to Nydy's police report, she has a childhood friend named Jennifer.

Unlike Nydy, a bespectacled, unfashionable nerd, Jennifer is beautiful and has a great figure, making her a popular figure at school.

She longed for life in a big city.

Life was originally uneventful, but starting two weeks ago, Jennifer seemed to have become a different person.

One night, Nettie returned home to find Jennifer standing in front of her, covered in blood with blood on her lips, behaving in an extremely bizarre manner.

He even opened the refrigerator and ate frozen raw meat, and eventually vomited a large amount of black blood.

Nyddy was terrified and before she could react, Jennifer rushed out of her house.

Nydy was still shaken, but when she saw Jennifer at school the next day, she was back to her usual glamorous self, with no memory of the previous night.

From that day on, Nydy noticed that more and more people were going missing, including Jennifer's ex-boyfriend and many boys who admired her.

Nydy grew increasingly uneasy.

One night, she followed Jennifer and witnessed her luring a young man into the woods.

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded: Jennifer bared her fangs, opened her mouth to an eerie degree, and devoured the young man whole.

Terrified, Nyddy immediately ran to the police station to report the incident, but when the officers arrived at the woods, they found nothing.

When they found Jennifer, she was still in her own home, as if it were all an illusion.

When they found Jennifer, she was at home, and it all seemed like Neytie's hallucination.

The police report was taken as a prank, and Nydy was even reprimanded by the officers.

By the time the police took the alarm message, which was initially dismissed as a prank, seriously, it was too late.

The entire town of Devil's Pot was suddenly shrouded in an eerie mist. The townspeople tried to leave, but found that the road that led to the outside world had vanished into thin air, leaving everyone completely trapped in the town.
