A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

A blue-white blade of light extended and pierced through the man, lifting him up.

Blood was dripping from Max's mouth, his head was tilted to one side, and he was breathing heavily, clearly not long for life.

“You…” Max’s lips moved, making a soft sound, as if he wanted to say something.

Cao Gui shook his head and said calmly, "Max, next time you plan to provoke someone, be careful to distinguish between those you can mess with and those you can't."

After saying that, he moved his five fingers slightly, and with a clang, the blue and white light blades extended in all directions, forming a windmill-like shape, and then slowly rotated.

Max, charred like a log, instantly turned into pieces and fell to the ground.

Hey~

[Host has eliminated the mutated electric man, completing one "Protect the Territory and Safeguard the People" mission. Reward: 2 merit points and 1 experience points.]

The mission of protecting the territory and ensuring the safety of the people?

That's right, he was just an employee, it was only after the mutation that he became dangerous.

Cao Gui suddenly realized, lightly flicked his sleeves, spun around, and transformed into lightning, disappearing into the horizon.

It's all over now, time to go back and sleep with Gwen in my arms.

However, Cao Gui was able to go back to sleep peacefully, but the people at S.H.I.E.L.D. were in trouble.

Thunder and earthquakes occurred in the middle of the night; even a fool would know this was unusual. Under the detection of earthquake detectors, S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel quickly discovered that the epicenter was on Long Island.

Having just lain down for a short while, Sitwell had no choice but to lead his team to Long Island overnight... Yes, it was Sitwell again.

As the top executive of the New York branch, Nick Fury was tasked with rebuilding the New York branch after it was destroyed.

In addition, Nick Fury used the committee member Sitwell as an example, saying that committee members cannot be away from their "public" work for too long.

So in the end, the task of leading the research on the Cosmic Cube fell to Coulson.

For this, Hydra's Pierce was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Nick Fury's reasoning this time was so legitimate that he couldn't find a way to break through.

Therefore, the research on the Tesseract had to be entrusted to Coulson. Fortunately, Pierce still had control over S.H.I.E.L.D., and the progress of the Tesseract research was always in front of Pierce.

Meanwhile, because of what happened at Duffy Square, Harry returned to Osborn and immediately ordered an investigation into Max's affairs, which eventually led to the discovery of the so-called Mr. Smith.

To put it simply, he was a corrupt official, somewhat related to Menken Balkan from back then, but the relationship wasn't deep, which is why he escaped the initial investigation.

But after that, Mr. Smith lost any chance of promotion. His greatest pleasure every day was to find ways to make things difficult for his employees. Only in this way could he find enjoyment in his position.

Unfortunately, Max became the unlucky one.

Harry unceremoniously sent him to a mental hospital, giving him a life sentence and a lifetime of medication.

At the same time, a public relations campaign was launched to mitigate the impact of the crisis. Although Duffy Square is not as famous as Times Square, it is still a very important square in New York.

The events of that night were quickly reported by the media throughout the United States, and Harry had to expend energy dealing with this unexpected disaster.

Cao Gui breathed a sigh of relief after learning about these two things. To be honest, if Nick Fury hadn't been busy with the Cosmic Cube, he definitely would have gotten involved in this matter.

Unfortunately, even Sitwell didn't know where the Cosmic Cube research base was, nor did he know Nick Fury's location; otherwise, Cao Gui would have taken the one-eyed black-haired man's head directly.

Chapter 303 Gwen's New Equipment

That day, Cao Gui returned to the villa, but surprisingly, Gwen was not home.

"Alice, where did Gwen go?" Cao Gui called out to the artificial intelligence.

During this time, Gwen had already integrated Alice into her home, turning her into a smart butler like Jarvis.

However, Alice's work is quite demanding; besides being a housekeeper, Gwen also uses her time for her studies and research. With the help of artificial intelligence, processing data becomes much simpler.

“Sir, Ms. Gwen is on the second basement level. She’s made a new toy, but I can’t tell you about it now.”

"So mysterious..." Cao Gui muttered to himself as he walked down to the second basement level.

The basement level had long ago been turned into Gwen's workshop, where she invented the web-shooter. The second basement level was a spacious area containing various equipment, including sandbags and other gear, which she used for training.

Of course, these places are mainly used by Gwen. Physical exercise is no longer of any use to Cao Gui. Being struck by lightning is the best way for Cao Gui to cultivate.

Cao Gui mainly used the bedroom and the quiet room next to it. When he was alone, Cao Gui would meditate on the power of lightning in the quiet room. When he was with someone...

Upon arriving at the second basement level, Cao Gui was surprised to see Gwen putting on a suit of armor.

This armor is made of both cloth and iron. The torso, forearms, and lower legs are made of iron, and the color is matte black, so it does not reflect light.

The rest of the body is covered in cloth armor, while the biceps and thighs are covered with outer armor made of Kevlar.

It looks a lot like Batman's armor, and the cape on its back seems to have a gliding function.

"Honey, how is it? Does my gear look good?" Gwen asked proudly, hands on her hips, as she saw Cao Gui come down.

However, she had deliberately made the armor look "broad-shouldered and thick-waisted," so... she couldn't hold on and almost slipped.

"Looks good." Cao Gui nodded, looking Gwen up and down with a smile, "What functions does it have?"

“To conceal my identity,” Gwen laughed. “I used your body data as a blueprint to create this suit of armor, so that no one will know my gender.”

"anything else?"

"Airborne," Gwen said, pushing off the ground with her legs. Her cloak billowed behind her, and a burst of fire erupted beneath her feet, but the fire quickly died down.

Using the thrusters on her feet and the cape behind her, Gwen hovered in the air for a brief half minute.

Cao Gui scratched his head. Ah... Is Spider-Woman about to transform into Batwoman?

"Is there anything else?" Cao Gui continued to ask.

“That’s all.” Gwen shrugged.

"So you just gave yourself the ability to levitate?" Cao Gui said irritably.

“Darling, my combat power isn’t like Tony Stark’s, which comes entirely from the enhancements of her armor,” Gwen said seriously.

"Have you forgotten that I am a mutant? My physical abilities far surpass those of normal humans... Of course, they can't compare to yours."

As she spoke, Gwen was somewhat annoyed. She had had the idea for this suit of armor for a long time, and she had originally planned to teach Cao Gui a lesson when it was built, so that he would obediently bow his head and call her sister.

Who knew... that her boyfriend suddenly gained the ability to control lightning.

“Oh, I see…” Cao Gui nodded, his gaze sweeping over the two web shooters on Gwen’s wrist. Although they increased her gliding and flight abilities, Gwen would still choose webs as her primary method of combat.

“Honey, how about we have a fight?” Gwen said excitedly. “I want to test the combat power of our new equipment.”

“Uh… that’s possible…” Cao Gui looked at Gwen’s face: “Where’s your helmet?”

“Here it is!” Gwen pulled out a matte black helmet from behind her and put it on. The helmet was unremarkable, with no decorations except for two visors and the necessary ventilation holes.

"Doesn't this thing snag your hair?" Cao Gui looked at Gwen's helmet and her blonde hair, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled.

“…Clamp.” Gwen was exasperated, thinking of her unpleasant experiences making helmets these past few days: “But I’ve already solved it.”

As she spoke, Gwen tied her hair up into a ponytail, put on the helmet, but left the ponytail sticking out.

Before Cao Gui could ask any questions, Gwen pulled a hood behind her neck and covered her ponytail with it.

"Hey, that way no one will know who I am," Gwen said smugly, hands on her hips and chest puffed out.

"Come on, let's give it a try and see how powerful this armor is," Cao Gui said excitedly. The armor looked pretty good, and he wanted to test it out without using his abilities or domineering aura.

“Okay, here I come.” Gwen jumped up and down, equally excited.

"Alice, are you ready?"

“Of course, it is your will, madam.”

"very good."

After a brief conversation with Alice, Gwen stepped forward, her thrusters exploding instantly. With a loud blast, Gwen burst into action, appearing before Cao Gui and delivering a powerful punch to his face.

Huh?

Cao Gui's heart skipped a beat; this thruster, combined with Gwen's original strength, actually seemed quite powerful.

Cao Gui took a step back, leaned back, and simultaneously raised his palm to catch Gwen's punch.

With a snap, Cao Gui was pushed backward by Gwen. It wasn't that Cao Gui was knocked away, but if he stood still and took the hit, he would be fine, but the recoil would injure Gwen.

However, Cao Gui did not simply dodge. He suddenly raised his knee and delivered a whip kick to Gwen's waist and abdomen. With a thud, Gwen was sent flying backward.

But soon, the armor came into play; the black cloak behind her billowed open, helping Gwen regain her balance.

Then, with a single hand brace, he instantly turned his body around and leaped across the wall, as several spider webs shot out, binding Cao Gui's entire body into a cocoon.

Knowing Cao Gui's combat strength, Gwen didn't stop. She flipped in mid-air, her thrusters activated again, and she raised one leg high, slashing down at Cao Gui like a battle axe.

however……

With a tearing sound, like fabric being ripped, Cao Gui broke free from the spiderweb cocoon, easily grabbing Gwen's leg in his hand.

"Girl, don't jump in the air if you don't have to, it's dangerous." Cao Gui chuckled and pulled her over with a strong tug.

He raised his left hand and slid it across her neck, removing her hood and helmet.

“You…” Gwen said angrily, never expecting Cao Gui to remove her helmet so easily. She should have known better than to wear the helmet in front of him.

Before Gwen could speak, Cao Gui stepped forward and vanished instantly. Gwen's expression changed, and she tried to dodge, but found herself being held in someone's arms.

"Hmm?" Cao Gui chuckled strangely, "Darling, your armor is just so-so."

"Damn it, you..." Before she could finish speaking, Gwen felt a warm, smooth sensation on her earlobe, and she let out a soft moan as her body went limp.

"See, we won, didn't we?" Cao Gui chuckled, burying his face in Gwen's neck and kissing her.

With his hands constantly groping, he quickly found a way to remove the armor.

"Damn it, stop! My armor testing isn't finished yet... Ouch!"

"We'll talk about that later, you're the most important thing right now, hehehe..."

Chapter 304 The Bald Fatty

Three hours later, the entire second basement level of the villa was filled with a strong smell of sugar.

Gwen lay on the ground, kicked the deadbeat Cao Gui beside her, and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Damn it, it's all your fault, my armor testing progress is still at zero..."
