He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 24 Li Chuan's Warning

"Thankfully, there's only one."

Grant glanced around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If four or five more like the ones just now came, he might not be able to escape today.

Without any unnecessary words, he launched a full-force attack from the start, each move aimed at vital points, striving to take down the burly man in front of him as quickly as possible.

However, to his horror, his opponent's skills far exceeded his expectations, and every attack he made was easily neutralized.

"Not bad, no wonder you were able to take down two of my men."

Li San parried Grant's attack with both hands, stepped forward, and swung his arm, slamming into Grant's chest like lightning.

"The bear crashed into a tree!"

Li San's kung fu was personally taught by Li Chuan, and he learned the Bear Form from the Twelve Forms of Xingyi.

The spirit of the mountain, the bear, guards the cave, while the eagle and bear fight to protect each other with their two paws. The bear form is the most powerful of the twelve forms. In terms of damage alone, once hit, it is more damaging than the dragon and tiger forms.

Grant, a top-tier fighter, was sent flying by Li San's impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to his feet for several moments before finally managing to stand up again.

That's incredible! He's carried out so many missions and encountered so many experts, but this is the first time he's met someone this powerful.

"Unfortunately, I'm a special agent; my abilities aren't limited to hand-to-hand combat!"

Knowing he was no match for the man in front of him in hand-to-hand combat, Grant reached for the pistol at his waist and aimed it at Li San.

Using firearms in a city residential area may have some repercussions for him, but now is clearly not the time to worry about that.

"I advise you to put that thing down, or don't blame me if you get blown up in the head."

When Li San saw Grant draw his pistol, he remained completely calm, instead displaying a mocking expression.

Grant's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he slowly lowered his pistol.

Because he had already realized that two infrared sights were aimed at him, one at his head and the other at his heart.

It turned out that the snipers in the neighborhood had adjusted their positions, bringing the area where Li San and Grant were fighting within their firing range.

At this moment, seven or eight burly men in security uniforms arrived and surrounded Grant.

"take away!"

Li San snorted coldly, and several burly men stepped forward to remove all of Grant's equipment, then dragged him toward the interrogation room that had been converted into a makeshift interrogation room in the neighborhood.

"Ding-dong!"

Hearing the notification sound from the phone on the bedside table, Li Chuan slowly opened his eyes and reached for the phone.

"They made their move on their very first day. Hydra agents really have no patience."

Upon seeing the report sent by Li San, Li Chuan carefully removed Wanda's fair arms and legs that were draped over him.

He quietly got up and left his room. Led by two security guards who were already waiting at the door, he arrived at the interrogation room of the community.

"The boss is being stubborn. He hasn't said anything, just that he wants to talk to you personally."

Upon seeing Li Chuan enter the room, Li San stepped forward and respectfully reported to his superior.

Li Chuan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, sat down in the chair next to him in his pajamas, yawned, and looked at Grant, whose face was already bruised and swollen, and laughed:

"I am Li Chuan. Tell me, who are you, and what are you trying to do by sneaking into this residential area?"

Grant looked up at Li Chuan, his body covered in wounds, yet his tone remained remarkably calm:

"My name is Grant Ward, and I am an agent of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency. I am infiltrating the community today to carry out a secret mission."

Your actions are interfering with my mission; please release me immediately.

"What mission? Kill me? Or kidnap me?"

Li Chuan raised an eyebrow.

Grant shook his head:

"I can't say what the specific task is, but it has nothing to do with you. This is a misunderstanding."

Li Chuan reached out and took a pistol from Li San, pointing it at Grant's head:

"You can choose not to talk, but your head will be blown to bits right away. Don't worry, this room is very soundproof, and you won't hear any gunshots outside."

"Okay, I'll say it. Although this is against the rules, my target is a man named Paige on the sixth floor of Building 8. His real identity may be a terrorist, and I need to infiltrate his home to gather some intelligence."

Grant's expression was serious, and he showed no sign of lying.

In fact, he was indeed carrying out this mission on the surface. It was a SHIELD mission that John Garrett had arranged in advance. If you really investigated, there would be no problem.

Li Chuan turned to look at Li San, who replied:

"Our investigation shows that Paige is just an unemployed hoodlum."

That's just his public persona.

Grant replied casually.

Paige was indeed an unemployed hoodlum with several criminal records, but starting yesterday, he became a terrorist, and a terrorist who vanished without a trace.

Li Chuan nodded. He admired the meticulousness of these Hydra agents; no wonder they were able to turn S.H.I.E.L.D. into an empty shell.

"The Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, a large international organization, was founded by Captain America's girlfriend Peggy Carter and Tony Stark's father Howard Stark."

Oh, you might not know this, but Tony and I are pretty good friends.

Former Director Alexander Pierce, current Director Nick Fury, am I right?

How do you know all this?

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Grant's pupils contracted.

According to his records, Li Chuan was just a wealthy businessman in Sokovia, at most someone who did some dirty tricks behind the scenes.

He was already quite surprised by the incredibly powerful bodyguard team he had encountered today, but he never expected that they would know so much about S.H.I.E.L.D. and even know Tony Stark. They were not as simple as the information suggested.

"I know who you are, and I know who is behind you. You didn't come here today to find any terrorists, but it's okay, I can let it go this time."

But when you get back, tell the person behind me to stop causing me trouble, or I won't be so polite today; he'll suffer a terrible fate!

Li Chuan's eyes instantly turned icy cold, and his powerful aura made Grant feel like he could hardly breathe.

"Alright, don't treat our guest like this. Just bandage his wound and let him go. Also, give him something to eat on his way back; he must be hungry this late."

I'm going back to catch up on some sleep first; I'm going to visit my new company tomorrow.

After giving the warning, Li Chuan stood up, yawned again, and then casually left the interrogation room.

Grant, on the other hand, was completely bewildered by what Li Chuan had just said.

In the end, all I could do was pretend not to understand and reply with a single sentence.

"I don't know what you're talking about."
