Chapter 18 - 18

No! He's going to self-destruct!"

This was Tony's first thought.

Then he forcefully tore at the long whips entanglement around his body, activating the thrusters on his feet to carry Ivan with him as they shot towards the sky.

Under the vast starry sky, Tony, sparkling with electricity, seemed to merge with the starlight.

The scene was filled with the tragic grandeur of a hero sacrificing himself.

Just kidding.

"Qi Mu."

Shen He called out faintly, then jumped out of the mech and walked into the Villa without looking back.

Saiki Kusuo merely teleported, cut the long whip, glanced at Ivan, who was already dead from the high-voltage current, and then used his psychokinesis to toss him high into the air.

Boom—!

This time, it was truly the fireworks of the finale.

Inside the Villa, after massacring all the enemies, Violet still roamed around with her dagger, searching for enemies who were still clinging to a breath, lying on the ground awaiting the God of Death, and then delivering finishing blows one after another.

Most of the surviving Nurses had fainted in terror, and the only one still sleeping peacefully in the entire Villa was Ryougi Shiki.

"Stop."

Shen He gave the command to the young girl.

Violet put away her dagger and sat directly in the sticky pool of blood, her thin lips constantly adjusting her breathing to recover her stamina.

She was completely covered in blood, the smell so thick it was like a butcher who had worked continuously for three days and three nights in a slaughterhouse. Shen He stepped over the corpses, picked up the young girl, and didn't care that his clean hands and clothes were stained with blood.

The Villa's plumbing system was completely broken, so he went to the cabinet and found some clean towels, carefully wiping the blood from the young girl's head and face.

Violet just stared at Shen He with her big blue eyes, a hint of question in them.

She was asking if there were any more commands.

"It's over now."

Shen He gently patted Violet's small head, as if giving a reward.

And so, the young girl's body truly relaxed, leaning against Shen He's embrace like a doll, unmoving.

Soon, Tony, who had found Pepper, walked in carrying two bottles of champagne.

"These are the last two bottles in the wine cellar; I don't know which bastard threw a grenade in there." Tony tossed one of the bottles to Shen He, glanced at the blood-soaked Violet, and asked with a slight hesitation, "All of this… was her doing?"

"Mm."

Shen He simply nodded, prying open the bottle cap with his thumb.

He certainly needed some alcohol right now to maintain his outward composure.

"Alright. Thank you for saving Pepper." Tony, this middle-aged man nearing forty, had eyes filled with lingering fear. "If anything had happened to Pepper, I would truly be all alone."

"What do you plan to do next?" Shen He looked at Tony. "This won't be the last time. From the moment you put on that armor and decided to be a superhero, you'll be targeted, putting yourself and your family at risk."

"What to do?" Tony tilted his head back, taking a big gulp of wine. "I've been thinking about what to do, but it wasn't until I watched Pepper fall into the flames just now that I understood what I needed to do. I am Tony Stark. I fear no one. So, whoever tries to ruin my life, I will ruin theirs. This isn't about heroes, it's not about stance; this is just revenge."

"I'll help you."

Shen He put down the wine bottle, clapped Tony's shoulder, his gaze very serious.

Originally, he hadn't planned to get too involved in the plot, not until Thanos.

But now, he understood that from the moment he appeared, he would be targeted.

"Oh." Tony smiled. "That makes me feel a lot better."

The news of Tony's Villa being attacked by Terrorists would undoubtedly dominate the headlines. Tony, having dealt with the Terrorists, once again became a hero. Although he still appeared arrogant and conceited on camera, many people, including S.H.I.E.L.D., knew that the current Tony was no longer playing around, but had an awareness of betting everything.

And Shen He also left Tony's temporary residence with Violet and Ryougi Shiki, moving to Chinatown.

According to the pre-arranged compensation, Shen He successfully became a lucky rich man who inherited billions of assets.

"Mr. Tian's most valuable inheritance is this five-star hotel, with twenty-four floors, covering an area of four hundred and twenty square meters, located in the most prosperous area of Chinatown, valued at two hundred million U.S. dollars." Natasha, wearing an elegant women's suit, introduced to Shen He.

Her current identity was a legal advisor responsible for handling asset transfers.

"Very good, I'm very satisfied."

Shen He looked at the building with satisfaction.

Because the main customers were Chinese, the decor leaned towards a Chinese style.

And the chefs, waiters, front desk staff, and so on, all the employees were Chinese.

"Are you the foreman here?"

Shen He looked at a man in a black suit, with hunched shoulders and a smile that looked somewhat sleazy at first glance.

"Of course not, I am your great-uncle's adopted son, you should call me uncle." The man lightly coughed, putting on the air of an elder.

"Is that so." Shen He was expressionless. "Then, you're fired."

"Wh-what?"

The man seemed completely unable to believe his ears.

But Shen He had no intention of wasting words with him, he just turned around and said to Natasha, "Lawyer, I don't need such irrelevant personnel in my hotel, and I suspect he has embezzled hotel funds. I'll leave it to you, no problem, right?"

The embezzlement was something Saiki Kusuo had told him; such a person couldn't be kept around until the new year.

"Of course, Mr. Tian left all his assets to you." Natasha nodded elegantly.

"You @#!"

The man cursed furiously and rushed forward, then was knocked unconscious by Natasha's crisp spinning side kick.

"Cool."

Shen He whistled in praise; Black Widow, with her amazing figure, was indeed quite a sight when she moved so dynamically.

This was just a small interlude. Although this place wasn't as high-tech as Tony's residence, it was legally his, making it more comfortable to live in, and equally luxurious. The top floor even had an indoor swimming pool.

It was just not convenient for setting up defenses; even a skilled Agent could sneak in.

So, he still had to find a way to make a lot of money, preferably enough to buy a private luxury Villa like Tony's.

But before that—it was time for the exciting gacha draw!

"Come on, come on, wash your hands, let's see what kind of Servant we'll get this time."

Shen He excitedly prepared, then closed the door, and under the gaze of Qi Mu and Violet, eagerly clicked on the advanced ten-continuous draw.

The first one, a long sword-like item, a three-star weapon.

The second one, something that looked like a streamlined helmet, also came with a metal box, a four-star equipment.

The third one.

The fourth one.

Shen He's expression gradually changed from excitement and anticipation to nervousness, not even daring to breathe loudly, because one after another, all that appeared were three-star equipment.

Until the last small, exquisite handgun flew out from the light of the summoning circle.

Shen He finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the non-Chief.

The beginner's luck was gone!

Thank you very much for the rewards ⊙ω⊙ I was so excited to see the rewards when I woke up this morning.
