A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Haha, are we NYPDs really that scary?" Gwen was amused by him.

"That's not necessarily true, there's that Texan guy at our school..."

"Hey!" Gwen blushed and slapped Cao Gui: "Can we not talk about this anymore?"

"Haha, I didn't expect it to really be you."

Cao Gui suddenly burst into laughter, and Gwen's face turned red. Even the ladylike Gwen couldn't help but slap Cao Gui twice.

After a while, the two stopped joking around and leaned against the edge of the rooftop, looking at each other.

"Cao, thank you for helping me so much."

"Me too, thank you Gwen."

The moonlight shone down on the girl, the bright moonlight reflecting off her pale golden hair, giving her a unique and radiant glow.

Cao Gui was filled with excitement and couldn't help but reach out. He originally only wanted to help Gwen straighten her hair, but as if possessed, he ended up touching her cheek.

Gwen's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't flinch, simply letting Cao Gui stroke her silently.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyelids lowered, and she seemed a little afraid to look at Cao Gui, but her rosy lips parted slightly, expressing her longing.

Seeing this, Cao Gui did not hesitate and gently leaned down. However, just as the two were about to kiss, they were interrupted.

“Honey, your brother’s computer…” George’s voice came, causing the two young lovers, deeply in love, to separate as if electrocuted.

Seeing the two people looking rather strange, George instantly realized he had ruined his daughter's plans. He was at a loss for what to do, feeling a little guilty, but he wanted to make amends but didn't know what to do.

However, at that moment, an angry Helen grabbed him from behind and hugged his neck: "Don't cause trouble, come on! Come inside with me!"

And so, George was dragged away without mercy, leaving behind two dumbfounded young men.

George was actually helpless. As an old man who only knew how to use a computer to process documents, how would he know how to fix his son's computer?

I could only ask my daughter for help, but I never expected...

Cao Gui glanced at the dark doorway, then at Gwen beside him, and tentatively asked, "How about... we continue?"

Gwen's pretty face flushed red. Even the sweetest atmosphere was ruined by Cao Gui's words: "Can't you say something nice?"

He stomped on Cao Gui's foot in annoyance, then stormed off.

Cao Gui shrugged. He was helpless. Gwen had already mustered up her courage, but George interrupted her.

Given her somewhat shy nature, it's hard to say when she'll be able to muster the courage again.

Seeing that Gwen had retreated to her room and wouldn't come out, Cao Gui said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he took the opportunity to help Gwen's two younger brothers with their computer problems.

……

Before long, Cao Gui returned to his apartment, only to find that there was another person in his apartment. He was not a bad guy, but the original owner's adoptive father: Hydra agent Sitwell.

Cao Gui was a little stunned to see him appear. Wasn't this guy usually AFK? Why did he suddenly come online?

Seeing the surprised look in Cao Gui's eyes, Sitwell said irritably:

"I gave you my FBI credentials to better protect yourself, not to help you poach FBI agents. Do you want to tell me what you've been up to lately?"

Cao Gui was taken aback. "I didn't do anything using my FBI identity, did I? All I did was wear a hazmat suit and install a camera. Is that so excessive?"

Sitwell said dejectedly, "You actually used a nuclear radiation protective suit. Do you know that I almost got dismissed by my superiors?"

At the time, FBI personnel discovered that a nuclear radiation protective suit had been taken from a safe house in New York. In Amerikan, no one dared to be careless when it came to such matters, and they immediately reported it up the chain of command, eventually tracing it back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Immediately, the FBI's top brass were terrified. They knew of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence and thought that S.H.I.E.L.D. was up to something big again. They immediately made over a hundred phone calls to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Trident headquarters and questioned them.

Sitwell, who was working at S.H.I.E.L.D., also received a call from Secretary Pierce. After some investigation, it was confirmed that it was Cao Gui, and the incident was ultimately classified as a false alarm.

This incident resulted in Sitwell being reprimanded by Nick Fury, but fortunately, under Pierce's protection, he only received a fine.

Cao Gui scratched his head; he himself hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Gaspar, I know I was wrong." Cao Gui honestly admitted his mistake.

If you make a mistake, admit it; if you get hit, stand up straight; bowing your head to your elders is not shameful.

"Never mind, it's all in the past."

Sitwell patted Cao Gui on the shoulder, then suddenly punched Cao Gui in the stomach.

Cao Gui's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively grabbed his wrist.

Cao Gui looked at Sitwell in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly made a move. Sitwell looked at Cao Gui in surprise as well, not understanding how Cao Gui could have such strength.

Immediately afterwards, Sitwell suddenly turned and delivered a side elbow strike, his hard elbow aimed at Cao Gui's temple.

This speed seemed a bit slow to Cao Gui, who could easily stop it. However, after thinking about it, he decided to conserve his strength and did not counterattack. Instead, he leaned back to avoid it, while simultaneously grabbing Sitwell's arm and using a joint lock to subdue him.

Sitwell flipped in mid-air to break Cao Gui's joint lock, then kicked Cao Gui, separating the two and making them stare at each other.

In the blink of an eye, the battle was over.

"Cao, what happened to you while I was away?" Sitwell asked in surprise. He hadn't expected his adopted son to suddenly become so powerful in combat.

Cao Gui shrugged and didn't say anything. Sitwell sighed. Since Cao Gui didn't want to talk about it, he didn't force him to.

Pulling Cao Gui down to sit, Sitwell said, "Cao, I don't want to know where you got your skills from, but you have to tell me the truth: have you joined any organization, like the CIA?"

“No,” Cao Gui said. “I’ve always been a student, at most an FBI agent. I’ve never had any contact with any spy organizations.”

Seeing that Cao Gui's expression didn't seem fake, Sitwell breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The last thing I wanted to see was you joining some federal organization."

“These places are too dirty. They are not as glamorous as you imagine, nor as good as they appear. They have nothing but despicable and shameless behavior. You must be careful and not be deceived.”

"Like I said before, don't think being a secret agent is cool. It's actually very boring. Your father and I have never wanted you to be like us. Being a secret agent is too tiring and too dangerous."

"We hope you find an ordinary job, such as a doctor, lawyer, or accountant—easy jobs. Don't get involved in murder or bombings; those are not cool at all, and they're incredibly boring."

Cao Gui: "..."

He had even suspected that the person in front of him might be an imposter, but the fact that he was still nagging like this basically proved that it was the real Sitwell.

Chapter 31 Road Trip

Sitwell only had breakfast with Cao Gui before leaving in a hurry, leaving Cao Gui scratching his head. It shouldn't be like this; Iron Man hasn't even appeared yet, and S.H.I.E.L.D. shouldn't be this busy.

However, once Sitwell left, Cao Gui returned to his ordinary student life, studying during the day to maintain his student persona and cultivating at night to enhance his strength.

However, due to his physical limitations, Cao Gui was unable to advance to the next stage of paper drawing training. Originally, Cao Gui had planned to use the Brotherhood's restorative potion to compensate for his poor physical condition.

However, he was unable to collect the medicinal herb Blood Orchid, so he could only rely on continuing to lift weights to gradually toughen his body.

This continued for a full month or two, and the Dao power value only increased by 3 points.

Therefore, in order to enhance his combat effectiveness, Cao Gui had no choice but to practice with a gun and learn the Brotherhood's gunfighting techniques.

He didn't have Wesley's talent, but thanks to his physical abilities that were superior to those of ordinary people, he still learned a skill that would take ordinary people more than ten years to acquire.

……

Time flies like an arrow; before we know it, summer vacation is almost here.

That day, in the classroom, Cao Gui stared blankly at the ceiling. It was another incredibly boring history class. If he didn't just praise the United States and denigrate other countries, Cao Gui felt that he might not be able to continue teaching this kind of class.

At this moment, two women and one man came to Cao Gui. They were Gwen, Lucy, and Harry Osborn, the Green Goblin.

Gwen, Lucy, Harry: (。_。)

Cao Gui: (。oˇ?ˇo。)

You should say something!

"Cao, what are your plans for summer vacation?" Lucy asked.

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, sleep when you're full, and eat when you wake up," Cao Gui answered truthfully.

"Are you a pig?" Gwen retorted, reaching out to pinch Cao Gui's cheek.

Cao Gui slapped her hand away impatiently: "Then tell me, what good idea do you have?"

The little green goblin chimed in, "We're planning a trip across the Americas, are you interested, Cao?"

Gwen and Lucy nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's it."

"what?"

A series of question marks popped into Cao Gui's head: American high school students on a road trip?

Cao Gui immediately thought of all sorts of road horror movies, chainsaw killers, vampires, elite hunting games, human trafficking, drug gunfights.

Isn't it good to be alive? Why seek death... Wait, looks like I can rack up kills here!

Cao Gui immediately perked up: "No problem, I'll join. When are we leaving? Who else is joining besides the four of us?"

"???"

Lucy, Gwen and the other two were stunned by Cao Gui's sudden enthusiasm. Their minds were a little slow to process it. Just a moment ago, they were lazy and didn't want to move a finger. How come they were so energetic?

"Say something!"

"Ahem." The Green Goblin was the first to react: "Besides the four of us, there's also Beth. The starting point is New York, and the destination is Los Angeles."

"Come, come, young man, sit down and chat."

Harry scratched his head, but ignored Cao Gui's amazing statement and continued, "That's right, first of all, we're just here for fun, and we don't have any other purpose."

"I plan to go to Illinois first. There are many forest parks there, which are beautiful and perfect for picnics. There are also many caves where you can go cave adventures."

"forest?"

Cao Gui was taken aback. If it wasn't the desert, then wouldn't he never encounter the chainsaw killer? And wouldn't he also miss the desert mutated cannibal?

"Yes, dinner by the lake in the forest park, how about that, sounds good, right?" the little green devil said with a hint of pride.

"Hey Harry, have you considered Texas? The scenery there is pretty good too," Cao Gui asked tentatively. He had just agreed so enthusiastically, it wouldn't be appropriate to turn around and refuse, would it?

"Texas scenery?" Harry was confused. "Isn't Texas just endless desert and grassland? What scenery is there?"

Cao Gui: "..."

That seems to make some sense.

Cao Gui immediately wanted to refuse their invitation, but Gwen going without Chief George seemed like a good option.

More importantly, Los Angeles and New York are equally dangerous, so you should be able to rack up quite a few kills.
