Chapter 1394: Teammates, Employees, Hired Thugs and Allies
In a small bar in Na.s.sau County, a hot mature lady and a hot young girl had a man sandwiched between them.
They pressed themselves against the man and attacked each other verbally every now and then.
Another girl, who looked to be in her teens, seemed to want to join them, but was immediately glared at by the two women, who looked like hens protecting their food.
The man’s expression was the same as ever, as if he didn’t notice what was happening around him and the battle between the two women had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, the watch on his wrist flashed.
The young girl immediately exclaimed, “Wow, what a beautiful watch. Is that the smart watch which t.i.tanium just released? I heard you have to pre-order it a few months beforehand to buy it.”
Hearing that, the man smiled and raised the wine gla.s.s to his mouth, downing the vodka in one gulp. “I didn’t have to buy this. It was a gift from a rich man. Alright, he wants me to get to work; let’s meet again next time.”
He gave both of them a squeeze before he left.
At the bar, the two women couldn’t help but look at each other, feeling that they were probably thinking the same thing.
It was the young girl who couldn’t hold back. “Does he have a sugar daddy?”
The mature lady’s face changed, and she suddenly gritted her teeth. “I don’t care if he has a sugar daddy or not. In any case, the one I want to sleep with isn’t his sugar daddy.”
Stumped for a moment, the young girl then came back to her senses. “That’s right. With that face and money, what else can I ask for?”
The mature lady snorted disdainfully. “If you’re poor, just buy a toy and play with yourself at home. Do you think you can nab him with that face? Bartender, bill; I’ll pay for Mickey too.”
The bartender was already used to this situation, and didn’t come over at all. He just said casually, “He paid for the drinks in advance.”
The mature lady was surprised. “You take pre-payments?”
The bartender chuckled. “No, but he’s an exception. He doesn’t like it when women buy him drinks. By the way, he’s covered your drinks. Mickey doesn’t lack that small bit of cash.”
The two women looked at each other, and fire burned in their hearts again. No, they had to find a chance to climb into his bed.
Ivan, who had stepped out of the bar, had already forgotten about the two women. Looking at the information on his smart watch, he sped up and ran back to a building several hundred meters away.
Entering the bas.e.m.e.nt, he saw the new armor standing quietly in the middle of the workshop. He turned around and leaned back into it, and chuckled. “Letting Iron Man watch me save the citizens of New York sounds pretty interesting.”
As he spoke, the unfolded armor automatically wrapped around him.
A moment later, Ivan flew over the ocean, turned, and headed toward Queens.
…
In a safe house in Queens, Splinter and the four little turtles were enjoying a pizza.
Compared with the sewers, this place was much more comfortable and relaxed.
Suddenly, Donnie’s phone beeped.
His hand jerked, and the pizza he was holding flew out to land on Splinter’s angular face.
Donnie hurriedly and cautiously removed the pizza.
Splinter, however, wasn’t angry. He just looked at Donnie. “Is it from Bruce?”
Donnie stuffed the pizza into his mouth as he nodded at the same time. He took out the phone and said, “It’s an emergency. Shredder released a lot of test subjects to kill people in Queens and Brooklyn. Bruce wants us to head over and provide backup. Uh…”
The three other turtles stood up and ran toward their armor.
Splinter looked at Donnie. “What’s wrong?”
Donnie was a little embarra.s.sed. “He said that if Master wants to go, it would be best that you put on the armor, since there are a lot of test subjects.”
Splinter’s face twitched, but he nodded. “Let’s go. Help me put it on. We’ll go together.”
…
In fact, when Luke sent out the emergency distress signal, he had already set off with Selina and Gold Nugget. Gold Nugget had directly entered the symbiotic form with Selina, leaving Dollar to watch the house.
Since it was an emergency, Selina couldn’t use just three times the strength of a regular person like she normally did during training.
In her incomplete symbiotic form with Gold Nugget, her strength could double so that she was almost ten times stronger than an ordinary person. She was also more agile.
They headed southeast into Brooklyn.
Queens had the little turtles, Alice, and Ivan, which was enough people. Big Dipper would go over to back them up.
Naturally, Brooklyn was left to Luke, Selina, and Damon and Mindy.
When they reached Brooklyn, Luke lagged behind a little and, seizing the moment when Selina started fighting, Luke let Angel Dust out of s.p.a.ce 2.
“Go. The objective this time is to kill the test subjects and protect innocent civilians. Do not clash with the police and other superheroes,” he instructed.
Angel, who was wearing regular, old-fas.h.i.+oned armor, simply nodded and kicked off in an explosive charge.
Two test subjects who were chasing the homeless down the street were sent flying with a bang and left deep craters in some cars. They struggled, but their bones were broken.
Looking at Black Sky Elektra in s.p.a.ce 2, Luke shook his head and didn’t let her out.
In a sense, Black Sky wasn’t human anymore, and was always looking for a way to escape his control.
Apart from using her for research, letting her out to kill people would be too dangerous.
If she ran into Matt again, it would be even more troublesome.
Looking at the information on his teammates on the virtual screen, Luke shook his head even more. His command skills in combat were really mediocre. He relied completely on program simulations and reminders, and didn’t have the talent to get straight to the point.
However, the team commander who was supposed to be in charge was still in a bad mood. The matter on Robert’s side hadn’t been sorted out yet, so this was the only thing Luke could do for now.
Putting away his wandering thoughts, he flew down and grabbed a fire escape before swinging around to break the gla.s.s and kick a test subject that had just barged into an apartment to bite the residents. The test subject immediately flew back like a ragged sack.
Luke finally turned around and said to the couple at the bedroom door, “Seal the door and block the windows.”
As he spoke, he darted out the door and picked up the struggling test subject that was stuck in the wall. Jumping out of the building, he used the test subject as a landing pad.
The test subject’s chest and abdomen caved in. It twitched weakly a couple of times before falling still.
The young couple in the apartment blinked in shock.
The man mumbled, “I… think I saw Batman.”
The woman nodded blankly. “Ye. Batman also told us to close the door and windows.”
They looked at each other and hurriedly closed the door.
Batman’s reminder and that terrifying monster were enough for them to understand the severity of the matter.
Luke threw out two enchanted bat darts before he landed.
The necks of two test subjects dozens of meters away bled as they fell to the ground, but they didn’t die. Instead, they struggled to get up.
Luke frowned.
The enchanted bat darts were indeed effective, but they weren’t enough to kill the test subjects instantly. This was really troublesome.
While he was pondering, Alfred informed him, “Mr. Stark is here..”
