Next Tuesday, the Chinese desperado continued his offensive, and the situation grew even more tense and chaotic. His fierce attacks created opportunities for countless criminals to slip into the turmoil and commit various crimes. Major cities around the world witnessed large-scale "zero-dollar shopping," with people looting goods and services, causing tremendous economic losses.
The assault of this desperate warrior and the chaos he created plunged the world into crisis. Governments and security agencies worldwide were forced to mobilize fully, trying to maintain order and contain the spreading unrest. But as his offensive intensified, the situation became increasingly complicated. People began to worry about global stability and peace.
What exactly was the purpose and motivation behind this fugitive warrior's actions? This question became the focus of global attention. Some believed that he wanted to upend social order, using chaos and destruction to achieve some ideological goal. Others suspected that he might be a vengeful individual driven by personal motives. Regardless of the truth, his actions had brought enormous anxiety and danger to the world.
In the coming period, the world would continue to face the onslaught of this desperate warrior. Governments and security institutions had to strengthen cooperation to confront the crisis. Meanwhile, people hoped to uncover his true identity and motives so they could respond accordingly and restore peace.
At this moment, President Matthew Ellis stood at the podium of the Capitol, facing representatives of major media outlets and tens of thousands of citizens. The eyes of the world were on him, waiting for him to deliver an important speech in Mandarin regarding the ongoing crisis.
Matthew Ellis's expression was solemn, his gaze firm. He took a deep breath and began to speak.
"My fellow citizens and friends around the world—today, I stand here to address a crisis unlike any we have ever faced. The emergence of this Manchurian fugitive has brought a severe threat and challenge to us all. Recently, his attacks have grown more intense, bringing chaos and turmoil to nations across the globe."
His voice echoed through the Capitol, drawing everyone's attention.
"We cannot stand idle and allow this desperate warrior to act unchecked. His actions challenge not only our government and security institutions, but also our societal values and public order. He seeks to achieve his goals through chaos and destruction—but such methods only plunge us deeper into crisis."
President Ellis's words were filled with strength and resolve. He raised his hand, signaling media outlets to broadcast his speech live.
"I assure the people of all nations that we will spare no effort and take all necessary measures to maintain stability and safety. We will strengthen international cooperation and work with governments worldwide to combat these ruthless militants. We will defend public order and protect the lives and property of our citizens."
"At the same time, I urge everyone to remain calm and rational. In this critical moment, we must stand united. Do not believe rumors or misinformation—trust in our government and our security agencies. We are doing everything in our power to safeguard you."
"These desperadoes seek to create chaos to achieve their aims, but we will never allow them to succeed. We will pursue them, capture them, and bring them to justice. We believe in justice and the rule of law. In the end, our system will prevail over turmoil."
His speech received a wave of applause. His determination reassured the people.
"I want to express my gratitude to the brave law enforcement officers and soldiers who protect us day and night. I also thank the citizens who provide aid during these chaotic times. Your actions show the strength and unity of our society."
"This desperate warrior may bring temporary chaos, but we will never bow to him. We will overcome this challenge, restore order, and build a safer, more prosperous future."
As Ellis concluded his speech, the atmosphere grew solemn. The people felt reassured by the president's resolve.
Just as Ellis was about to step down from the podium, a suit of iron armor flew toward the Capitol.
"Mr. President, that's the Patriot Armor."
His security advisor immediately reported, standing right behind him.
"I remember the pilot is James Rhodes," Ellis said bluntly without turning around.
"Yes," the advisor replied, though he still signaled the security team to surround the president.
The crowd watched curiously as the Patriot Armor descended—some even excitedly anticipated what might happen next.
The armor hovered toward the podium.
"Mr. President, something's wrong," the advisor warned.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "James Rhodes is missing! Message from the military!"
"What!" Everyone's pupils shrank in shock.
"Move!"
"Cover the president!"
The Patriot Armor lifted its hand and fired an energy blast at Ellis.
The energy beam shot toward the president, and the atmosphere instantly tightened. Bodyguards instinctively leapt forward, trying to push the president out of harm's way. Ellis forced himself to remain calm—panic would only worsen the situation. He depended on his security detail now.
The beam struck the podium, erupting in a violent explosion. Bodyguards shielded Ellis with their bodies.
"Don't let it get near the president!" one shouted.
Others opened fire on the armor, but their bullets did nothing against its advanced defenses.
"Mr. President, hurry!" the advisor urged.
More beams rained down, each impact unleashing powerful shockwaves that tore apart the Capitol steps and ignited the surroundings.
"What is the Patriot Armor doing!" Ellis shouted, stunned and furious.
But the armor continued firing without responding, attacking everything in sight. Reporters filmed the chaos as the crowd screamed and fled.
President Ellis gritted his teeth—he needed answers, and fast. Someone had hijacked the armor.
"Mr. President, we must evacuate!" the advisor insisted.
"Go. Now," Ellis ordered.
The Patriot Armor left scorching destruction in its wake. Flames and smoke engulfed the area.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky—Electro appeared above the Capitol, his body crackling with power.
"Electro!" someone shouted.
Hovering in the air, Electro stared coldly at the Patriot Armor, electricity gathering around his hands.
"Electro—I'm entrusting this to you," Ellis said, feeling a flicker of hope.
"I'll stop him," Electro replied, his voice steady and imposing.
Sensing Electro's power, the armor turned its attention away from the Capitol and toward him.
Electro summoned a massive sphere of electrical energy, lightning dancing violently across its surface.
"Break him!" Electro roared, hurling the thunderball with devastating force.
The ball shot forward like a comet. The armor raised its defense systems, but the thunderball tore through them and struck its core.
A deafening explosion followed. The Patriot Armor burst apart, scattering flaming debris. Electro soared upward to avoid the blast.
The armor was destroyed.
The crowd gasped in awe, stunned by Electro's raw power. President Ellis and his security team finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Electro hovered silently, his presence radiating authority and reassurance.
"Thank you, Electro," Ellis said with deep gratitude.
Electro only nodded before turning away and vanishing into the sky.
