Chapter 823
Czech Republic, Prague. Inside the new hotel.
“The monster will appear in a few hours! Do you think this is a game, kid?” Nick Fury shouted at Peter angrily.
“He is not taking this situation lightly, but he was certainly worried because you kidnapped his entire tour group!” Mysterio tried to defend Peter.
“He had a problem, and I solved it! what’s wrong with that?” Nick Fury said indifferently.
“Sir, the government still wouldn’t cooperate in evacuating their citizens and tourist in the area!” Agent Maria Hill said worriedly on the side.
“What a bunch of morons!” Nick Fury sighed as he rubbed his forehead exhaustedly.
“Now, talk about your plan, Parker!” Nick Fury said tiredly.
“Uhhh, I will stay on top of the church and monitor the fire monster’s location in real-time. I will immediately notify you once the monster appears, and I will cooperate immediately with Mr. Beck, supporting him for whatever he needs me to do.” Peter said nervously.
“Just call me Mysterio, it’s okay.” Quentin Beck said as he tapped Peter’s shoulder.
“Okay, I will attack the monster with Mysterio as soon as it appears!” Peter said more confidently.
“We won’t just attack it, we will kill it! Try to lead it towards a quiet place with fewer people! But the most important thing is to avoid luring it too close to any metals! If it gets close to metals, it will grow significantly. It will start to draw power from the Earth’s core, and it would be unstoppable.” Mysterio reminded.
“My friends are here, and I think we have to lure it to the rural area immediately!” Peter said worriedly.
“Are you worried about your friend here?” Nick Fury annoyedly asked as he got the impression that Peter still didn’t think about this monster seriously. “You called for a drone strike on your own school’s travel bus! Stark left you a multi-billion dollar A.I, and you almost blow them up!” Nick Fury shouted angrily.
“I warned him that you weren’t ready! You are still not qualified to lead anything, and he still gave you that important responsibility!” Nick Fury was clearly annoyed by both Peter and Tony’s antic. Still, Peter also believed that was the case as he also thought that he wasn’t qualified to take the gla.s.ses for himself.
While Peter was frustrated with his own lack of resolve, Dio was being driven out of the house by Quicksilver to the market as it seemed a festival was going on at the moment. In fact, Quicksilver already brought Dio as early as 5 days ago to wait for today’s light festival.
Pietro had a similar idea to Peter as Pietro wanted to confess his undying love to Lucy here today.
The streets were full of people that laughed and enjoyed the festivities. Colorful lights filled the streets, and there were so many forms of entertainment on the streets for people. People also dressed in strange ways for this festival, and they were actually looking forward to it!
For the short time that Pietro was at the festival, he already saw 16 horse and 24 bulls mask, among other animal masks that people wore. So, the Phantom of the Opera mask that Pietro wore actually blended in with the rest of the people here.
Well, the mask was mainly to hide Mantis’ ident.i.ty as she wasn’t a human and had some physical trait that was different from a human. The two aliens, named Luci and Mantis, have been following Pietro for the past few months, and they had also learned about the culture of Earth. Now, they wouldn’t face a critical problem if they wanted to integrate themselves into the Earth’s society.
Of course, Pietro worked hard to make it happen.
Fortunately, with Pietro’s speed, transportation wasn’t a problem at all, as he could take both women in his arms and speed away somewhere. It was impossible to catch him, well, unless it was a certain someone.
Luci and Mantis had a lot of fun as they jumped from one festival to another. They played every game the festival had to offer, and it was fun! As for the expense, surely they used the card that Tony Stark had given to them. Although they used much money from the account that Tony set up for them, it wasn’t to a point where Tony would have to reprimand them for overspending.
After a while, Pietro finally felt like it was time to act on his plan, so he dismissed the look of wonder on Mantis’ face and took Luci to a bronze statue. He took out an item from his pockets and stood in front of Luci nervously.
“What’s the matter, Pietro?” Luci was still wearing her mask, and it made the event a little bit weird.
Pietro was out of words as his throat seemed to tighten, and he couldn’t spill out what he wanted!
Peter also came here with MJ to see the festival themselves. They saw Pietro and Luci, but they didn’t know it was them at that time as both of Pietro and Luci still wore their mask. MJ thought that the occasion was romantic as she instinctively knew what the man was about to do.
MJ also knew that the woman was like a model! Although she couldn’t see the woman’s face, she knew from the woman’s posture that she was an absolute G.o.ddess!
But when Pietro gathered his courage and was about to ask Luci to become his wife, Luci pulled him to the side and pointed her fingers to the sky.
“Is that also part of the show?” Luci asked curiously. Pietro was confused and turned around to look for what Luci was talking about. He was confused by the sudden appearance of a bursting magma that suddenly appeared and melted the ground as it grew in size.
Many people started to scream as they were surprised and shocked by the giant fire monster’s appearance.
Pietro was enraged! He finally worked out his courage to ask Luci to become his girlfriend, but a monster suddenly attacked! “Hold on, we are leaving!” Pietro said annoyedly.
“But what about that monster?” Luci said worriedly, but Pietro already took her hand and sped up to safety.
MJ was surprised as her eyes still didn’t leave the two lovebirds earlier, but she suddenly saw they had disappeared before her eyes! Is she looking at an illusion? Or was she just too far gone on her daydream that they didn’t notice the couple had left?
MJ couldn’t think of anything, so she followed the panicked crowd to escape for safety.
At the same time, Peter, in his black suit, immediately contacted the SHIELD base. “The Fire Monster is here! right in the middle of the plaza!” Peter said nervously.
