Chapter 253 — The Delivery

The Tinkerer’s expression of shock was so perfectly convincing that Agent James couldn’t help but grin, satisfied.

Even his two goons began whistling, clearly enjoying the power trip of watching another man’s fear.

James spread his arms like a preacher about to reveal divine truth.

“Haha, you know what my job’s been? I know the Bureau’s procedures, every trick in the book. Ever since that operation went south, I haven’t said a word about yo...

Chapter 110 – The New Element

“Hey, hey! What’s this about?!” Lucas jumped up, pointing an accusing finger at Tony, face full of mock heartbreak. “You used to call me Sweetie, and now it’s Madame Ox! How could you do this to me, you ruthless capitalist!”

“Get lost!” Tony snapped. “Sweetie? That’s disgusting! And calling me a capitalist? You’re one too, you idiot—you’re literally insulting yourself!”

It wasn’t even wrong. Lucas really was a capitalist no...

Chapter 109 – The Answer Lies in His Father’s Legacy

The repulsor blasts weren’t enough to take Ivan down. With a snarl, Vanko’s electrified whips coiled around Tony’s neck, the current surging through the suit like liquid lightning.

But just like Lucas had done before, Ivan made the same mistake—he was charging Tony’s armor.

In seconds, the suit’s power levels spiked to two hundred percent. More energy meant more firepower—but it also meant imminent overload. Once the surge burned out, the Mark V ...

Chapter 252 — A Place Where No One Comes

The Tinkerer ’s medical bag was taken the moment the “FBI” men got him into the car. One of them popped the trunk and tossed it inside after rifling through it carefully — just in case.

All they found were basic surgical tools and a few small vials of medication. Nothing powdered, nothing suspicious. As long as no one traced the drugs’ origins, there’d be no problem.

Henry — still in his Tinkerer disguise — sat in the middle of the back...

Chapter 108 – Whiplash Appears

Lucas knew what was coming. In just a few minutes, that hulking Russian would walk straight onto the track near the finish line and start tearing cars apart. So after one exhilarating lap, he gradually eased off the accelerator, letting several racers overtake him.

He’d already had his dose of Fast & Furious—and he had to admit, F1 really lived up to the hype. The thrill of controlling a top-tier machine at insane speeds was unlike anything else. That moment...

Chapter 107 – Morocco

Lucas wasn’t about to indulge that pompous senator. He gave the man a cold, dismissive glance, then calmly set his bucket of popcorn on the table and started eating, clearly treating the whole hearing as a movie.

“So this is a hearing, right? Why hasn’t it started yet? My time’s very valuable,” Tony said with a smirk, also munching popcorn as if he were at a comedy show.

“Ahem! We’ll now begin the hearing,” the senator declared, his tone...

Chapter 251 — The FBI’s Invitation

Another scumbag saved.

The Tinkerer felt absolutely nothing about it.

It wasn’t like the bastard he’d just operated on would go on to make the world a better place. If anything, Thomas Bonning would probably continue to poison the great American gene pool. Not Henry’s problem.

It wasn’t as if all the people who sought him out were desperate saints. If anything, most of them were either evil or idiotic.

The truth was simple �...

Chapter 106 – The Hearing

For three whole days, Lucas hadn’t seen Natasha once. He’d been wanting to ask her about the Vibranium situation, but there hadn’t been a single chance. He definitely wasn’t going to call that one-eyed spymaster again—last time he talked to Fury, he ended up getting kidnapped to Bavaria by Hydra. No way was he risking another “mysterious mission” phone call.

In the meantime, Gwen and Skye had somehow become inseparable from Wanda. The three were close ...

Chapter 105 – Where Is the Vibranium?

“Looks like Karl’s in trouble again?” Pepper said with a knowing smile.

Tony grinned wickedly. “Oh, definitely. This is gonna be fun to watch.”

With that, he wrapped his arm around Pepper and headed for the car, leaving another one behind—clearly meant to pick Karl up.

“Let’s go home first,” Karl said helplessly, sensing an impending storm. “I’ll explain everything once we’re there.”

The ride back was ...

Chapter 250 — The Successful Operation

An appendectomy, as the Tinkerer had said, wasn’t exactly rocket science in modern medicine.

He worked with mechanical precision — every incision, every clamp, every stitch executed with steady, practiced rhythm. There was no wasted motion, no hesitation, not even the faintest tremor of uncertainty.

It was the kind of clinical grace that made it seem as though he were working on a model, not a living human being.

And before young Thomas...

Chapter 249 — The Appendectomy

The instant her son started shouting threats, Councilwoman Susie Bonning panicked. Seeing the unlicensed surgeon’s expression turn unreadable, she blurted out,

“Doctor, I’ll sign any liability waiver you want! As long as the surgery succeeds, I won’t pursue anything. Whatever my son says doesn’t count.”

Thomas Bonning snarled from the bed, clutching his side. “The hell it doesn’t! When I say I’ll kill someone, I kill them! Nobody stops me!”...

Chapter 248 — The Bonning Family

Back at his rented apartment, Henry changed into his Tinkerer outfit, grabbed his field medical kit, and drove toward Cedars–Sinai Medical Center, where Ms. Hepburn had once spent her final month.

Nearly a year had passed since then, and the place hadn’t changed much — at least not the parts Henry had seen before. But today, his invitation led him into an entirely different wing of the hospital.

This section was spotless — too spotless — and i...

Chapter 104 – Back to New York

BOOM!

Tony shot straight into the air, hovering several meters above the ground. One more second and his precious armor would’ve been in pieces courtesy of a certain sword-swinging maniac.

“J.A.R.V.I.S., start a new project file. Code name—Anti-Karl Armor.”

“Understood, sir. New file created.”

Down below, Karl waved his Ultimate Divine Blade and shouted, “Get down here, you coward!”

Tony shouted bac...

Chapter 103 – Tony Arrives

“By the way, Wanda, are you sure you don’t know a guy named Pietro? Silver-haired, kind of cocky?”

Lucas looked at her curiously. That’s your twin brother, for crying out loud.

Wanda frowned and shook her head. “No, never heard of him. And that name… doesn’t sound very nice. Is he supposed to be someone important?”

Lucas froze. What the hell? No Pietro? No Quicksilver? What kind of Marvel world was this?

“Did your adoptive parents ever mention ...

Chapter 247 — The Assigned Mission

Henry had thought he could enjoy two or three quiet months hiding out in his Sheep Hole Valley lab — until a voicemail from the Continental Hotel summoned him back to his rental apartment.

Naturally, he brought Katie with him — the tiger cub couldn’t be left behind. The lab wasn’t as tiger-proof as his apartment, which was reinforced to withstand claws, teeth, and collisions. Out in the desert, the only safe way to occupy Katie was to let her run wild under ...

Chapter 246 — Fury’s Legacy

Nick Fury Jr. — the black one — hadn’t forgotten how the Infinity Formula worked. It wasn’t some miracle shot that lasted forever. It needed regular injections to keep aging at bay. Miss a dose, and the body — no matter how healthy — would start to crumble fast, until death followed.

But the elder, white Nick Fury, just smiled faintly. “I don’t care about dying. If I can take a nest of parasites with me, that’ll make it worth something.

Chapter 102 – They’ve Found Lucas

“Director, we’ve got a lead on Lucas!”

Coulson strode quickly toward Nick Fury, tablet in hand.

Fury glanced up at him, saying nothing.

Coulson immediately opened the video file on the tablet and played it.

The footage, captured via satellite, was grainy—but the devastation it showed left no doubt who was responsible.

A massive meteor plummeted from the sky, crashing straight into a mountain and obliteratin...

Chapter 101 – Unlocking the Summon: Ramuh

Far away in Bavaria, night had already fallen. Inside a small inn, Wanda finally stirred awake. The moment she saw Lucas safe and sound, she threw herself into his arms and began to cry uncontrollably.

Lucas, at a complete loss for what to do, awkwardly patted her back in comfort. After a long bout of tears, Wanda finally drifted back to sleep again—but even in her slumber, her hands clung tightly to Lucas’s shirt.

Having no choice, Lucas lay down beside h...

Chapter 245 — The Two Furys

November in Los Angeles was a fickle beast. Some days the rain came heavy and cold, soaking through jackets in minutes; other days the sun broke through and dragged the temperature back toward twenty degrees Celsius. Too warm for coats, too cool for comfort — the kind of weather that made dressing properly impossible.

Morning commutes started with a jacket. By noon, people stripped down to short sleeves. Come evening, the chill crept back, and half the city realiz...

Chapter 100 – Lucas Is Missing?

Lucas quickly used his own magic to suppress the chaotic energy around Wanda.

If her Chaos Energy were to spiral out of control now, this small town would be erased from the map in seconds.

What he didn’t know was that back in New York, chaos had already erupted—because of his disappearance.

---

Not long after Lucas had left, Natasha returned to the agency.

Seeing her come back alone, Gwen and Skye immediately asked,<...

Chapter 99 – Leveled to the Ground

Lucas immediately raised his hand, summoning a raging gust that solidified into a barrier of wind.

Bullets hammered into it like a torrential storm.

BOOM!

Suddenly, an electromagnetic shell slammed into the shield. The wind wall shattered instantly, the explosion catching Lucas completely off guard.

“Damn it!”

There was no time to rebuild the barrier. Lucas grabbed Wanda, wrapping her tightly in his arms to shield her...

Chapter 244 — The Failed Operation

In the Los Angeles field office of the FBI, inside the assistant director’s office, three agents — led by James — stood stiffly, reporting the disastrous results of their failed raid on The Tinkerer .

The assistant director stared at them with the look one reserves for idiots. His tone was cold, his words sharper still.

“So, the Tinkerer never even returned to his clinic, and you sent in an entire task force without confirming anything. You sto...

Chapter 243 — The Raid

Only three agents from the FBI showed up; the muscle for the arrest was all LAPD. No one thought taking down an unlicensed doctor would pose any danger — the only real concern was whether they could also seize that missing bag of dirty cash.

Still, this was a Black neighborhood. Nobody was dumb enough to just walk in with a warrant and no gun. Everyone came armed, because “unexpected accidents” were practically guaranteed here.

The show of force w...

Chapter 98 – Escape from the Castle

But Lucas was completely confused by what he’d just heard.

According to Wanda’s story, her origin matched the earliest version of her backstory—the one where she was Magneto’s biological daughter.

There were actually two versions of Wanda’s origin.

In the original version, both Wanda and Pietro were Magneto’s children. After Magneto used his powers to annihilate the men who killed his daughter Anya, his wife, Magda, fled in terror. She...

Chapter 97 – Wanda

Back in the same freezing cell, Lucas waited until the two guards left before summoning the Divine Armament.

Shhhk—shhhk!

In two effortless slashes, the glowing blade sliced through the reinforced restraints like tofu.

“Phew… they really went overboard with this stuff,” he muttered, rubbing the marks on his wrists. “My hands were about to lose circulation. These Hydra clowns sure don’t play nice.”

He rolled his shoulders, stretched, and sat back do...

Chapter 242 — The Watching Detectives

A few sharp knocks on the window of an old Ford startled the two detectives inside — one young, one older — both of whom had been staring blankly at the mouth of a grimy alley for hours.

The senior detective reacted calmly, turning just enough to see who it was.

The younger one, on the other hand, nearly jumped. When he recognized the face outside, he exhaled in relief. “Who—oh! Agent James, sir. Didn’t expect you.”

The LAPD det...

Chapter 96 – Baron Strucker

Through his groggy vision, Lucas squinted at the heavy steel door in front of him. It had only a pitifully small inspection slot, just big enough for a pair of eyes to peer through. Across the room stood a narrow window barred with iron—no glass, only the naked metal grid. The icy wind howled through it, carrying flecks of snow that melted against the cold stone walls.

He sat on the creaking iron bed, head pounding as fragments of memory surfaced. The last thing h...

Chapter 95 – The Abduction

That evening, George and his family moved into Lucas’s apartment. The NYPD captain had finally learned the truth about who his daughter and her boyfriend really were.

Lucas’s powers he could just about stomach—he’d seen enough weirdness in New York to believe anything—but finding out his daughter was the masked “Ghost Spider” nearly gave the poor man a heart attack.

It took both Lucas and Gwen a long time to calm him down. Ironically, the ...

Chapter 241 — The Laboratory

When Henry regained consciousness, a crescent moon was hanging high in the sky — clearly already past midnight.

The autumn desert of California carried a faint chill. Katie, the little tiger now full from her meal, was curled up in Henry’s arms. It wasn’t clear whether she was trying to stay warm herself, or trying to keep her master warm.

The surroundings were perfectly quiet. The snakes and scorpions common in the desert kept their distance — ...

Chapter 94 – Hydra Resurfaces

“I’ve received the footage,” Nick Fury said, eyes fixed on the screen as he reviewed the recording Skye had sent. “By the way, that girl—Skye—you really ought to let her join S.H.I.E.L.D. Someone with her kind of talent belongs in my organization, not wasting her potential playing sidekick to you.”

He sounded half-admiring, half-irritated. For days, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s top cybersecurity experts had been tearing their hair out, unable to figure out how Sky...
