A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Simply put, it's just icing on the cake; it doesn't really make a difference.

So, increasing our strength still requires spending money!

"System, exchange character cards... Hmm, let me see..." Cao Gui browsed through the character cards, finally fixing his gaze on a pink-haired man:

CP9, the "Lion" takes its place!

Cao Gui is preparing to develop "Life Return", and Wei Qu's best skill is Life Return... although he was also defeated by the Iron Block.

"System, redeem character card: CP9 'Lion' (偎取)"

[Host, you can exchange for the character card CP9 'Lion' at a cost of 3 merit points. Please confirm!]

"confirm."

Cao Gui glanced at Gwen in the basement and saw that she was still pondering the Ironblood Spear. He then used Moonwalk to fly into the sky and headed towards the nearby mountains and forests.

……

A seaside villa on Long Island, New York.

With the help of his butler Jarvis, Iron Man Tony Stark begins to upgrade his Iron Man armor and create some gadgets to deal with this unfathomable enemy.

He used his two private servers in Los Angeles and New York to simulate battles using artificial intelligence data, striving to surpass Cao Gui in every way and completely crush him in the fight.

This time, Tony Stark was determined. 99% was not an option; the win rate couldn't be 99%, because that one percent meant defeat could come at any moment, and it couldn't be taken lightly.

“Sir, do you remember the infrasonic paralyzer you invented?” Jarvis said. “I added it to the armor.”

"Although we can't defeat the masked man with firearms, perhaps we can paralyze him and limit his ability to dodge, which is similar to precognition."

“Good idea.” Tony nodded. This thing was illegal; the government didn’t approve its production, but he could use it.

“How about adding a lightsaber?” Jarvis said. “The enemy used a longsword during last night’s battle.”

"Right, I'd forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!" Tony clapped his hands and said with relief.

However, lightsabers consume too much energy... Tony pondered for a moment and decided to upgrade his reactor.

In the previous battle, 50% of the energy was lost, and if the lightsaber is added, there might not even be enough energy to recover.

“Jarvis, you continue. Show me everything after you’ve finished,” Tony said in a deep voice.

"I'm going to upgrade the reactor and crush that bastard with absolute power!"

Chapter 162 You Should Still Call Me Wick

It is 5:45 a.m. Pacific Time.

In a New Jersey community nestled among hills, the forests are lush, the air is fresh, and the environment is beautiful. In the night sky, the shapes of the clouds are clearly visible, and the morning star has already risen.

It's almost dawn.

Outside the community, five armed men wearing heavy bulletproof vests and black frosted masks sat behind a rock in the woods. They were armed with various weapons, including bolt-action sniper rifles, assault rifles, and submachine guns.

They were on high alert, their eyes fixed on the upscale community nestled at the foot of the mountains.

“We’ll be done in half an hour,” one of them said softly.

Upon hearing this, the others breathed a slight sigh of relief, but couldn't help muttering, "This is really strange; they're making us just guard one place..."

"We're just a reserve force, in case of emergencies," said the armed man with the sniper rifle.

"The real battle is left to others."

"There are other combatants in the organization who are better than us?"

“It’s not just within the organization, it’s others… I’m not entirely sure,” the man said.

"Okay, stop talking... Huh? Did you hear that sound?"

One man suddenly straightened up and listened intently. In his hearing, he heard a series of strange "poof poof poof" sounds... seemingly coming from very different locations.

"I heard you..." the man holding the sniper rifle said gravely.

"It's in the sky, and the sound is getting louder... Damn it! It's heading in our direction!"

As he spoke, his tone even became somewhat terrified. They couldn't possibly ignore the strange noises coming from the sky.

The other four were startled and immediately lay down on their backs, guns at the ready, searching. But then, the sound vanished.

what happened?

The five people exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise and uncertainty through the eye holes in their masks.

"Disappeared? What happened?" one of them asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!" the man with the sniper rifle said in a deep voice. "Let's go, quickly move to another location, it's not safe here..."

Shashasha~

At that moment, a strange friction sound came out.

"Walk……"

The man with the sniper rifle made a decision immediately, but before he could finish speaking, several slender black shadows suddenly sprang up from the ground and, in the blink of an eye, tied up the five men.

"What is this... mmm... wow..."

The five struggled desperately, but soon, the dark shadow coiled and bound them into five black cocoons. Their necks were tightly wrapped, making it impossible for them to breathe, and their heads, though exposed, could not enjoy a breath of air.

Just as they were in despair, an Asian man slowly emerged from the forest, his long black hair hanging down his back and touching the ground... No! The thing wrapped around us was his hair!

Beneath the masks, the five people who realized this were utterly horrified.

What kind of monster is this?

"The Big Foot Gang?" Cao Gui asked casually. He had just returned from the other side of the hills and had just noticed the appearance of these five people.

Cao Gui immediately flew into a rage. Were the Big Foot Gang members about to make a move against Gwen or him?

"Ugh..." The five people struggled desperately, the hair binding them was suffocating them.

Cao Gui frowned, raised his hand and waved it. The cocoon formed by his hair loosened the five people, but quickly bound them again.

Cao Gui frowned; he was still getting used to the new skill.

"Answer my question?" Cao Gui grabbed one of them and asked slowly.

"I don't know what the Foot Gang is..."

Click!

Cao Gui showed no mercy, snapping his neck bone and then flicking his hair to toss his body aside.

"I don't know how loyal you are to your organization, but it doesn't matter. I'll kill anyone who doesn't speak up. As for the last one, I have plenty of ways to deal with him!"

The cold words were spoken, and Cao Gui's thick hair, as thick as a lion's, danced in the wind, silencing the remaining four members of the Big Foot Gang.

"Now, answer my question," Cao Gui said slowly.

“That’s right, we’re the Big Foot Gang!” one of them quickly said. Given Cao Gui’s ruthless methods, he had no doubt that Cao Gui might break his neck.

Then, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, the man told everything, including the mission, everyone's names, and all the information he knew about the Big Foot Gang.

"So they weren't after us after all..." Cao Gui was somewhat surprised. The Big Foot Gang was incredibly audacious, daring to make such a big move when their enemies were nearby.

"I've said everything. I hope you'll keep your promise..."

"When did I make any promises to you?" Cao Gui sneered, his jet-black hair swaying and dancing, and four fists made of hair slowly emerged, with a finger sticking out from each one!

"Shit, what are you doing?"

"Damn it, let me go..."

"no no……"

"Lion Finger Gun!" Cao Gui sneered. How could he possibly let you go?!

Pfft!

Four streams of blood splattered as a large hole was pierced through the hearts of the four men, and they all died shortly afterward.

Cao Gui put all their corpses into his [System Backpack], tidied up the scene briefly, and picked up their dropped weapons.

Then he closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, concentrated, and learned the "Life Return" skill after equipping the character card he had acquired. However, he was not very proficient at it and needed some time.

As Cao Gui focused his attention, his long black hair slowly shortened, and finally, Cao Gui returned to his original appearance.

I'm a little...hungry.

Cao Gui sighed. The Six Styles were good in every way, except that one could only replenish their strength by eating.

However, having learned "life return," he can absorb any amount of food.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, several gunshots rang out from the direction of the community. Cao Gui's expression changed drastically, but he quickly frowned again.

The gunshots weren't coming from the location of his villa, and something was off; the rhythm was too strange, with the intervals between the two shots sometimes being too close and sometimes too far.

Six Styles - Shave!

Cao Gui narrowed his eyes and activated "Shave" to rush down at high speed. He wanted to see what was going on.

……

Da da da da!

In front of a small detached villa, three burly white men were holding M249 light machine guns and desperately pouring bullets from their magazines.

Countless bullet holes appeared on the wooden walls of the small villa, but inside it was pitch black and there was no sound.

The loud gunfire attracted the attention of other people in the community. Although they did not come out, they hid by their windows to observe.

Cao Gui landed gently on a tree to the west, without making a sound.

At the same time, the fragile wooden wall collapsed with a loud crash, revealing a dark room inside. The three armed men did not hesitate and rushed in.

Up in the tree, Cao Gui stroked his chin, his eyes flickering. This scene... seems a little familiar.

If I remember correctly, a bald man will come out of there in a moment.

Bang bang bang!
