A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Thirty-two floors up.

"Oh my God, it's the deep sea!" The transparent man burst into tears of joy.

"Thank God, it's the Deep Sea! He's come to find me!"

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. Deep sea? According to the information he gathered online, this guy can breathe underwater and even talk to aquatic creatures... He seems so weak.

Cao Gui stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then decided not to contact this guy. He decided to take things slowly; rushing things would only make things easier for them. He should go into hiding for now.

"Hey, Deep Sea, I'm here, come quick to save me..."

Snapped!

Cao Gui suddenly grabbed his neck, choking back the words he was about to say.

"You...you...you..." The invisible man's face turned red, and the hand on his neck was like an iron clamp, squeezing him with terrifying force, causing him excruciating pain.

This guy's power is so strong and terrifying. The Invisible Man's heart sank. Only now did he realize that the terrifying thing about the person in front of him was not only his superpower of being able to generate electricity, but also this terrifying power.

Cao Gui remained indifferent, raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and suddenly threw a punch, striking the transparent man in the chest.

Bang!

The transparent man's face turned deathly pale. A loud cracking sound rang in his mind, and boundless pain surged from his ribs.

"Oh no, my ribs are broken..." The transparent man's face was filled with terror, and his face turned from pale to red in an instant.

Cao Gui's face was cold as he raised his fist and threw another punch.

Bang!

With a snap, another bone broke, blood gushed from the transparent mouth and nose, and the eyes bulged out, with blood vessels twisting and spreading in the whites of the eyes.

His prized carbon-based super-sensitive skin, his skin that was as hard as diamond, was completely useless.

With just two punches, the Invisible Man felt death approaching.

Cao Gui remained expressionless, raised his fist again, and slammed it into the heart of the transparent man.

Click!

The broken ribs pierced the lungs and the heart, and dark red blood instantly rushed into the trachea, slowly seeping out through the mouth and nose.

As his heart ruptured, the transparent man's bulging eyes gradually lost their luster, his struggles weakened, and finally his head lolled to the side, dying with his eyes wide open.

Hey~

[The host has killed the Invisible Man, a member of the Seven Heroes, completing a "Eliminate Evil" mission. Reward: 2 Merit Points, 1 Experience Points.]

"Wang Defa? Invisible Man, what are you up to?"

Just then, the sound of Deep Sea cursing rang out from outside. Before seeing the person, the voice preceded the person. Cao Gui raised an eyebrow, grabbed the transparent man's corpse, and put it into his [System Backpack] along with the chair and chains.

With a tap of his foot, he vanished in a flash of lightning.

"Invisible Man, you fucking...shit! What's going on?"

Shen Hai entered the room, only to find it empty. Looking down at the tablet in his hand, he saw that the transparent man's location information was nowhere to be found.

"Oh, shit...did I encounter a ghost?" Deep Sea looked completely bewildered.

Chapter 328 The Missing Invisible Man

Hey~

[Congratulations, host, you have reached 60 experience points and your rank has been promoted to Rear Admiral.]

[Rewards: 60 Merit Points, Character Card: Mr. 2 Bon Clay (User of the Imitation Fruit, a true man)], Character Card: Mr. 3 Gardino (First Mate of the Four Emperors, comparable to a Marine Admiral)]

[Reward: Devil Fruit - Paramecia Type: Mini-Mini Fruit]

[Distribute military supplies (uniform, flintlock rifle, justice cape, saber, 3 billion Berries)]

Hey~

【Justice Naval System (Supporting Every Naval Soldier with a righteous heart)】

[Soldier's Name: Cao Gui (Naval Captain, Swordsman Apprentice)]

[Merit Points: 78 million; Experience Points: 60.5/60]

Looking at the system panel prompt, Cao Gui's lips twitched. It was true that Bon Clay was a real man, but was Mr. 3 really comparable to a naval admiral?

The system's evaluations are always so baffling. And what's with the Paramecia-type Mini-Mini Fruit? If I remember correctly, it's a fruit that allows you to enlarge or shrink your body...

Cao Gui wiped his sweat, thinking of the legends of Ant-Man and Thanos.

The fruits given by the system are always so flawed; they're useless except for being exchanged for merit points.

Cao Gui scratched his head, then tapped his foot and disappeared into the night sky.

……

Madeline's office

The man sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, his lips slightly pursed, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and a smile playing on his lips.

Madeline was tidying up files behind her desk when she glanced at Homerman briefly before continuing to organize them, while also tidying up the breast pump on the table.

Madeline has one child, but she is now over forty, and for her age, insufficient breast milk is a very troubling problem.

"You... why did you call me to your office?" Homelander's face twitched, his patience wearing thin, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he asked directly.

Madeline put down the documents, smiled slightly, and slowly walked over to sit next to Homelander, raising her hand to gently stroke his face.

"I'm sorry I interrupted you. It was my fault, and I apologize."

Madeline gazed at Homelander with tenderness, like a mother comforting a child who was throwing a tantrum.

“I…hehe, I’m not angry, not at all.” Homelander tilted his head, avoiding Madeline’s hand that was stroking his face.

Madeline's gentle smile remained unchanged as she silently watched Homelander. Homelander, who had just turned his head away, quickly turned it back and placed his hand against Madeline's.

"Can you forgive me?" Madeline traced her thumb, her fingertip gently brushing against Homelander's cheekbone and lower eyelid:

“My job is to manage a large company, and time is tight. Sometimes I may unintentionally hurt you as the team leader. It’s my fault. I apologize to you and promise that it will not happen again next time.”

Madeline spoke softly, her gaze gentle, but Homelander did not meet her eyes, instead involuntarily lowering his head to avoid her gaze.

As he listened to Madeline's words, Homelander's facial features softened, and a sweet, infatuated smile appeared on his face.

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?" Madeline gently pulled him down, letting him rest his head on her lap.

"You're leaking milk..." The man laughed infatuatedly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he uttered a sentence out of nowhere.

"Thank you." Madeline stroked Homelander's blond hair on her thigh and gave him a little smug look.

The man closed his eyes, breathing in the air with a somewhat greedy air...

Ring ring ring!

Just then, a rapid phone ring shattered the tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.

Homelander suddenly opened his eyes, shock and anger flashing in them.

"I'm going to answer a phone call." Madeline quickly got up, and in her haste, she even bumped into Homelander's head.

However, before he had taken more than a few steps, a sudden gust of wind swept through the office, making it impossible for Madeline to open her eyes.

"who!"

Homelander gripped the microphone, which crackled and sputtered, several cracks slowly spreading across his face. He was furious beyond measure.

He even wanted to find out the other person's address, then fly over and stomp on their head.

“Ms. Steelville, I… uh, Homelander?”

"Deep Sea? So it's you!" Homelander said through gritted teeth, his lips pursed, his eyes shining with a scarlet light, his eyes as bright as jewels.

"That's great, it's you! That's amazing!" Shenhai suddenly shouted from the other end of the phone.

"Homelander, something's happened. The Invisible Man's chip signal has disappeared, disappeared inexplicably. I can't find him. Not only can I not find him, but even the security department can't find him."

"God... the invisible man's signal seems to have vanished from the face of the earth, it's unbelievable."

Upon hearing Deepsea's words, Homelander paused for a moment, the furious expression on his face quickly subsided, and the red light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

Madeline walked over to Homelander, gently took his hand, and smiled, "Let me hear it."

Soon, Deep Sea recounted the story over the phone, and Madeline's expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.

The Invisible Man mysteriously disappeared. Not only did he disappear, but his confidence also vanished, and in a short period of time, he disappeared abruptly.

This is no ordinary thing!

“Deepsea, come back immediately. Homelander, we’re going to the Security Department,” Marilyn said solemnly in a deep voice.

Inside the security department, Madeline had someone pull up the Invisible Man's activity trajectory and schedule, and examined it carefully.

Within the company, the last person to interact with the "transparent man" was Ashley from the marketing department. After reviewing the assignment, she discovered it was just a routine task with nothing special about it.

"Homelander, can you see anything from this activity track?" Madeline looked closely at the activity track on the screen.

New York is neither too big nor too small, and there are many places she is not very familiar with. Moreover, she is not a New Yorker herself.

Homelander frowned and shook his head: "I don't understand either. There doesn't seem to be anything special about it. It's just a normal place."

He had never been to Miwo, nor had he even heard of it.

Patriot had no other hobbies. He didn't smoke, didn't drink, and wasn't interested in any beverages or medicines. In terms of personal hobbies, he was practically no different from a monk who lived a life of asceticism.

At this moment, Deep Sea rushed back, and the two of them showed him the invisible man's activity trajectory.

“Uh… I found the place where he last disappeared, but all I can see are some marks that look like rope drags and the footprints of an invisible man.” Deep Sea scratched his head:

"But there will be no trace of a second person at the scene."

"Look at this activity log. Is there anything unusual?"

“No…yes,” Deepsea said instinctively, but seeing Homelander frown, he immediately changed his words.

"Say!"

Deep Sea pointed to a spot in Hell's Kitchen and said, "This is the Secret Nest, a gathering place for superhumans."
