First, set a goal: to be invincible on Earth!
Aaron, leveraging his Super Senses and Super Brain, had undergone some training and could now skillfully control his greatly increased strength.
Only then did he leave the alley and walk onto the unfamiliar street.
Looking at the foreigners all over the street, Aaron felt a momentary trance; it was a completely foreign place.
Unfamiliar land and unfamiliar people.
No, now *I* am the foreigner!
Aaron shook his head, walking aimlessly.
He walked and pondered.
He needed money now! A lot of money!
He even needed to build a power?
How long would it take him alone to gather everything he wanted?
Forget about Object 084 and the Asgardian treasury; even just collecting the special creatures that exist on Earth would take him a lot of time by himself!
Of course,
Aaron didn't like to slowly build up a power; if possible, he hoped to inherit an existing one.
His gaze constantly roamed.
What's a quick way to make money?
Supermarket? ATM? Bank?!
Aaron shook his head. After all, he had lived under the red flag for so long; it wasn't that easy to adapt to the local excellent traditions.
And he hadn't forgotten, this was Marvel!
"It stinks!"
"The smell is so strong!"
Aaron kept rubbing his nose along the way. Good heavens, the people here smelled too strong.
Cheap perfume, disgusting body odor, various fecal smells, and the scent of various mixtures.
And he could even distinguish the subtle differences, for example, the perfume contained different pheromones.
With his super perception, he could easily smell the various pheromones lingering in the air; dozens, even hundreds, of pheromones every moment—it was simply torture!
It wasn't that his brain couldn't process it; it was purely the stench!
Aaron subconsciously forced himself to ignore it, gradually mastering the ability to selectively shut off parts of his Super Senses.
At this moment, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Should I try hacking an ATM?"
"Or... kidnapping?"
He reluctantly shifted his gaze from the ATM, locking onto a young girl walking past him.
She was about ten years old, wearing a white princess dress, with long golden hair and delicate skin.
She skipped and hopped, looking very energetic.
The little girl looked left and right, seemingly full of curiosity about the outside world.
She even saw Aaron looking at her and smiled at him.
"Big brother, you're very handsome!"
The little girl suppressed her shyness, took a few more glances at Aaron, and then slowly walked away.
As she walked, she kept looking back at Aaron. She had never seen such a handsome person, and he had such exotic charm.
Aaron also gave her a gentle smile.
Of course, Aaron wasn't a lolicon.
After merging with the phone, he possessed extremely powerful analytical abilities, instantly capturing dozens of details about the little girl.
An expensive custom-made princess dress, a hairstyle designed by a high-end stylist, even her backpack was a luxury item... everything was sending a message to the outside world: I am a little rich girl, I have a lot of money!
Aaron connected to the nearest network signal, his eyes flickering, and a smile played on his lips.
The little girl was actually the future Hawkeye—Kate Bishop!
He remembered her mother was the CEO of Bishop Security, right?
Aaron pondered whether he should go meet his future mother-in-law.
Alright, that was just a joke.
He saw a few figures flash through the crowd behind the little girl.
"Since you said I'm handsome, I'll help you out this time!"
Ten minutes later,
At an intersection with relatively few pedestrians, about to leave the rich district,
Four disguised men exchanged glances, then simultaneously pounced on the little girl.
"Hurry, we must get her out of here before they react!"
"Who are you?!"
The little girl was terrified. At only twelve years old, seeing the four burly men rushing at her, she had no power to resist.
And with her small arms and thin legs, she couldn't run away; two of her steps weren't even as far as one of theirs.
Just as the four men with sinister expressions were about to close in, Kate suddenly saw a man rapidly approaching behind them.
He easily crossed tens of meters in one stride, and in the blink of an eye, he swept over a hundred meters, arriving behind the four men.
And whether it was an illusion or not, she felt a faint glow appear around Aaron.
Kate Bishop's mouth dropped open, completely stunned.
"Mom, I saw Superman!"
"Who!"
The four burly men were clearly well-trained; seeing Kate's expression, they instantly realized someone was behind them.
However, just as they turned their heads, a figure like a Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly swept past, and then they flew uncontrollably for more than ten meters like rag dolls!
All four men were sent flying, one after another, in less than a second.
Aaron skidded to a halt in front of Kate Bishop and smiled, "Little one, we meet again. Are you alright?"
Chapter 3: Is This My Mother-in-Law?
"Big brother, are you a superhero? Like Iron Man, who swoops around punishing evil and promoting good!"
"Big brother, do you know the Midnight Hero of Manhattan? I think he's far inferior compared to you!"
"Big brother, what superpowers do you have? Can I learn from you?"
"Big brother..."
Aaron regretted it. Kate was like a walking encyclopedia of questions, and after he saved her, she hadn't stopped asking for a moment.
He glanced at the two armed men beside him who kept peeking over; they had appeared just before and after Aaron dealt with the enemies.
In fact, even without Aaron's intervention, little Kate probably wouldn't have been harmed.
But in Kate's eyes, Aaron was like her angel, descending from the heavens in her most critical moment.
And a handsome angel at that!
It was exactly like what was shown on TV!
"Little Kate, don't bother your savior. I don't think you want to be seen as a noisy, annoying alarm clock, do you?"
At that moment, a mature, serious female voice came from a distance,
Then a capable woman in a red dress walked over.
"Mom!"
Little Kate instantly rushed over, then remembered something, stood to the side, tidied her appearance, and displayed a trained smile, while quietly saying, "Mom, am I that bad?"
Eleanor chuckled and shook her head. Her eyes lit up when she saw Aaron, and she extended her hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Aaron, you saved my daughter!"
Aaron shook her hand.
"You're welcome. Kate is a very smart girl, and I don't think anyone could stand by and watch her suffer."
"But Ms. Eleanor, about these matters..."
Aaron looked at the scene. Although he had held back his strength, with the extreme speed, the four kidnappers were already half-dead.
They were all lying motionless on the ground, seemingly ready to go to heaven together.
"My situation is a bit complicated right now, and I don't want to waste time with the police."
Eleanor gave a disgusted look, then showed a kind smile, "Please rest assured, sir, we will handle everything and will not trouble you for even a second!"
"And we also have a gift for you!"
Eleanor waved, and a man in a suit came over with a briefcase and opened it.
"One million US dollars!"
"This is a token of our sincerity; we hope you will accept it."
As expected of a rich woman, a million dollars just like that.
Even though Eleanor knew Kate wouldn't be harmed, she still chose to offer a million dollars.
Just as Aaron thought the matter was over,
Eleanor added, "Due to time constraints, we could only get this much cash. There's another four million. If Mr. Aaron doesn't mind, you can tell us your address, and we'll deliver it personally!"
Damn rich people!
How dare you try to bribe me with money!
You're ruthless!
"My... *cough*... I don't have a residence in New York at the moment..."
"I understand!"
Eleanor was very understanding and said enthusiastically, "In fact, I have another property in the XX district of Manhattan. No one has lived there since it was renovated, but I hire someone to clean it regularly."
"If you don't mind, you can stay there temporarily until you find a new place."
At that moment, Aaron felt like he was being kept.
Is this what rich people's lives are like?
However, Aaron wasn't overly surprised. He now possessed infinite possibilities.
Even now, he had an advantage that the Bishop family couldn't compare to—power!
In the 21st century, money was king.
But in the Marvel world, personal power is king!
After a brief moment of surprise, Aaron nodded calmly.
Eleanor's smile grew even brighter, and she greeted Aaron warmly.
She even somewhat overlooked little Kate.
Kate pouted, following closely.
After Aaron settled his living arrangements, he bid farewell to Eleanor and the others under Kate's reluctant gaze, and continued with his next plans.
"Now... I need an identity!"
