At this moment, Leonardo discovered a dog-headed man hanging from a flagpole in a spider web. He was overjoyed, jumped up, and cut the spider silk, causing the dog-headed man to fall to the ground with a thud.
Leonardo walked over to the dog-headed man and angrily asked, "Where did you take my brothers?"
The dog-headed man showed no fear. He arrogantly shouted, "We, the Foot Clan, will rule this world, and you will all become our slaves."
Leonardo was very angry and pushed the dog-headed man to the ground, but that was all; he couldn't bring himself to beat a captive.
Heavy Cannon was full of rage. Seeing this, he came over and kicked the dog-headed man hard, angrily demanding information.
Seeing the battle conclude, Scarlett, disregarding her injuries, walked out of the coffee shop to help the police save the injured, while April helped and took photos nearby.
"Three soldiers died, two were seriously injured, and the remaining five were all wounded. This time, it's a complete defeat."
Scarlett sighed. The special forces had never suffered such a crushing defeat. New York was too strange.
Just then, a quinjet arrived. Following close behind, Steve, Hawkeye, Dr. Reed, Garrett, Coulson, and others quickly disembarked from the quinjet.
After understanding the situation, Steve instructed, "Coulson, you lead the team to pursue the Beastmen. We'll enter the museum to see what's going on."
"Yes, Captain."
Coulson nodded and led the S.H.I.E.L.D. squad to apprehend the Beastmen—all equipped with energy guns.
Meanwhile, Steve and the others entered the museum. Dr. Reed, after hearing what Tony said, immediately began researching the residual data with him.
Barton stroked his chin and asked, "Rhode was kidnapped? Why does something feel off?"
Everyone looked at Tony. Tony's face darkened, and he asked, "It wasn't me who was kidnapped, you're very disappointed, aren't you?"
Everyone nodded in unison: "Yes."
"…"
Tony wished he could kill all these guys. He shouted, "I've only been kidnapped twice, and besides, I won't be kidnapped again in the future."
"Firstly, you've been kidnapped three times. Secondly, I personally feel that you will be kidnapped again in the future, multiple times."
Barton said, "After all, you are the famous Kidnapping Man."
"Kidnapping Man?"
Tony almost spat blood. Just as he was about to get angry, Steve asked, "Alright, no more jokes. Why did the Foot Clan kidnap the Giant Turtle?
Also, why is their technology so advanced? Aren't they an underground gang? In my time, underground gangs weren't this terrifying."
Tony snorted, "Sorry, I can't answer any of your questions. Perhaps you can Google it, if you know how to use it."
Garrett suggested, "I just saw Mr. Wang sitting outside. Perhaps he can give us some help."
"He's no longer an angel, uh, no, he can indeed provide help."
Tony called Andrew and said, "Andrew, lend me Alice for a bit. Her computational system is better than Jarvis's."
Barton complained, "Why is an angel's technology more advanced than ours? Don't tell me the Heaven Registry uses computers for registration."
"You don't need to worry about that, because you definitely won't get into Heaven."
Andrew said, "No need to calculate. That's alien technology. By the time you figure it out, the three turtles will surely have become mummies. Let the remaining Giant Turtle come to me; I will help it find its brothers."
Tony asked in surprise, "Didn't you lose your angel power?"
Andrew said, "Perhaps."
"Shit."
Everyone cursed silently. Why do masters always like to play coy?
Cursing aside, everyone didn't waste time. They took Leonardo to find Andrew. April, seeing so many important figures appear, immediately rushed over to take photos.
"Mr. Stark and Dr. Reed?" Scarlett was a bit curious and moved closer to the group.
Leonardo eagerly asked Andrew, "Can you help me find Raphael and them?"
"Raphael?"
April was astonished to hear the turtle's name. She had four pet turtles when she was little, and one of them happened to be named that.
Andrew, while folding a Thousand Paper Crane, said, "Yes, but the rule of magic is equivalent exchange. If you want my help, you must pay a price."
"Magic?"
Everyone was a bit astonished, then nodded. It was quite reasonable for an angel to know magic.
Leonardo was anxious and didn't think much, asking, "What do you want?"
Andrew said, "Your blood."
Leonardo hesitated. It wasn't that he was reluctant to give his blood; he was worried Andrew would use his blood for bad purposes.
Steve said, "Don't worry, this person is good. You can trust him as much as you trust me."
"Then it's no problem, Captain. You've always been my idol."
Leonardo immediately nodded. The Captain's propaganda posters were what they saw most when they were young.
Tony pouted unhappily. In terms of reputation, no one could compare to the Captain, not even him.
April and Scarlett looked at Andrew in astonishment. The Captain actually trusted him so much. Who exactly was he?
Leonardo asked, "How do you take the blood? My skin is very tough."
"Like this."
Andrew took a large test tube from under the table. With a flick of his finger in the air, strands of blood flew from Leonardo's arm and gathered in the large test tube.
"Where did that test tube come from? And, you actually carry test tubes with you?"
Tony asked in surprise while looking under the table.
"Wow, that works too?"
Leonardo exclaimed, his confidence in Andrew soaring.
After collecting the blood, Andrew remotely grasped the aura of the other three turtles from Leonardo's body. Then, he placed the aura into the Thousand Paper Crane, and a special rune quickly appeared on the crane's back.
The next second, to everyone's astonished gaze, the Thousand Paper Crane spread its wings and flew up.
Andrew said, "It will lead you to your brothers. Remember, it can only last for one hour."
Leonardo quickly said, "One hour? Then let's hurry and set off."
"What exactly is the principle behind this?"
Tony and Dr. Reed looked curious, wishing they could dismantle the Thousand Paper Crane to study it.
At this moment, the Thousand Paper Crane flapped its wings and flew towards the door. Barton, seeing the crane's speed, frowned and said, "So slow? When will it find those people?"
The Thousand Paper Crane turned its head and cursed, "Idiot, don't you know to take me on the plane?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. April asked incredulously, "It can talk?"
"Isn't it common knowledge that Thousand Paper Cranes can talk? Don't waste time, quickly take me on the plane. I must help you find the target; only then will my paper life have meaning."
The Thousand Paper Crane shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and act, you humans, all you do is waste life."
Everyone was speechless from being scolded. Tony complained, "I never dreamed I'd be scolded by a Thousand Paper Crane, and what's worse, I have no idea how to refute it."
Everyone nodded in unison. Scarlett's worldview completely shattered. This wasn't scientific. It was one thing for a Thousand Paper Crane to fly, but why could it talk? How did it make sounds?
Andrew silently drank his tea. This Thousand Paper Crane, besides tracking magic, also had a simulated life magic, just for practice.
"Hurry up and depart. The Foot Clan can not only create Beastmen but also possess alien weapons. The Director takes them very seriously and requires us to deal with them as soon as possible."
Garrett said, "Spider-Woman and the others are rushing back. As for those Beastmen, Coulson and I will lead the S.H.I.E.L.D. squad to deal with them."
"Our main objective is to rescue people."
Tony snorted, clearly dissatisfied with Nick Fury. Of course, this was normal; almost no one was satisfied with Nick Fury, except for HYDRA.
"First rescue people, then eliminate the Foot Clan. There's no conflict."
Garrett said. Just then, Gwen and the others returned. Everyone had no time for pleasantries and immediately departed on the quinjet.
There was a small interlude here: April tried to sneak onto the plane but was mercilessly thrown off.
"If I can't get on, I can't get on. Anyway, I've already taken a lot of photos."
April pouted unhappily and walked to a secluded spot to call her editor. She believed her editor needed these photos now.
Soon, April's photos were published on Channel 6, and the audience finally learned the follow-up, sighing that Super Heroes were indeed reliable.
The mayor had a sudden heart attack after reading the report and was admitted to the hospital. As for whether it was true or false, no one knew.
Leaving that aside for now, Scarlett walked to Andrew, her expression complex, and asked, "Does magic really exist?"
Andrew replied as a matter of course, "Of course not. I was just messing with you earlier."
"Ah?"
Scarlett looked bewildered. Before, when I didn't believe in magic, you kept telling me it was real. Now that I believe, you're saying it was all fake?
Are you playing with me?
Andrew nodded, "Yes, I'm playing with you."
Scarlett was astonished. Is this Mind Reading?
"No, this is micro-expression observation, Madam. Please believe in science and consciously resist magic."
Andrew stood up, patted Scarlett's shoulder, and turned to leave with the test tube. Scarlett watched his retreating back, feeling more exasperated than ever. This scoundrel had been toying with her from beginning to end.
"How can there be such an annoying man in this world?"
Scarlett gritted her teeth. It was imaginable that for a long time to come, she would be thinking about Andrew, the kind of thinking that made her want to stab him with a needle.
"A genius with high intelligence and average emotional intelligence."
Andrew shook his head. He transmitted the turtle blood back to Rebirth Hell and said to Big Head, "Extract the panacea from the blood."
"Panacea?"
Big Head, after hearing Andrew's explanation, shook his head and said, "There can't be a panacea that cures all diseases in this world. That doesn't conform to basic scientific principles."
"Even if it can't cure all diseases, at the very least, it can turn turtles into Turtle-Men."
Andrew said, "Big Head, extract it and replicate it in large quantities."
Big Head nodded, "Alright, leave it to me. I'm quite interested in it too."
After finishing this task, Andrew returned to the rooftop of Rebirth Building, brewed some tea, and waited to continue watching the show.
There's a good show to watch every day; that's what life is all about.
