Aldrich Killian didn't speak, or rather, with half his face pinned down by Anton's foot, he couldn't speak at all. He could only grit his teeth fiercely, the vicious look in his exposed eye seeming to want to tear the Anton in front of him into strips of meat and devour him.
Anton, however, didn't care at all.
The more the enemy hated him, the greater the blow the enemy had suffered.
Besides, the one taking the loss was the other party. He wouldn't lose a piece of flesh just by being looked at.
Boom!
Under the gaze of everyone, Anton didn't eliminate Aldrich Killian.
Of course, although he had once again trampled Aldrich Killian's dignity underfoot, it didn't mean that the other party had completely lost his combat effectiveness.
The depression in Aldrich Killian's chest was changing in an extremely short amount of time.
Through Cyborg's perspective, Anton observed closely. He could even see that Aldrich Killian, blasted by the energy cannon, was a bloody mess, with the wounds on his ribs visible. Tiny, tender new flesh had already begun to grow.
The Extremis Virus granted him a stunning level of recovery, only slightly less potent than Connors' Lizard Serum.
The key was that the primary function of the Lizard Serum wasn't really to enhance combat ability, but to heal disabilities.
This seemed to suggest that the Extremis Virus was even more formidable than Anton had imagined.
So, he moved his massive foot from Killian's head.
"What do you want?"
Killian sensed a cruel intent in the man's eyes, and a wave of intense fear washed over him.
Sshhh! Anton fired lasers from his fingers, severing Killian's hands and feet, instantly turning him into a human pillar.
"Aaaaaaaah!"
Aldrich Killian let out a miserable howl.
"Cyborg!"
He screamed with all his might, the pain and hatred in his eyes seemingly weaving into a net that enveloped the Anton before him, and he cursed viciously, "I won't let you go!"
"Maybe you can continue to think about me in prison."
Anton was unconcerned.
If he didn't cut off this guy's limbs, the police wouldn't be able to restrain him at all.
Moreover, with Aldrich Killian's regenerative abilities, it would probably only take half a day for his limbs to fully grow back.
Beep beep beep!
At this moment, the police car that Anton had been observing arrived late, as usual.
George Stacy, seeing Anton use a laser to sever Aldrich Killian's limbs from a not-so-distant distance, felt a chill and was puzzled.
In his impression, Cyborg didn't seem to be such a ruthless character.
"Cyborg!"
George immediately led people closer: "What happened? He..."
"Aldrich Killian, the boss of Advanced Technology, is also the mastermind behind this morning's Wayne Enterprises explosion."
Anton said lightly, "He has done some unspeakable things behind the scenes. Since I've caught him, I don't think it should be difficult for you to find out what's behind him."
"But..."
George asked in confusion, "Why did you cut off his hands and feet?"
"He was injected with the Extremis Virus, Advanced Technology's latest research. It can enhance the human body, but it has some side effects."
Anton explained, "Didn't you see that his hands and feet have stopped bleeding?"
"What? So fast!"
George was shocked and turned to stare at Aldrich Killian on the ground. He indeed saw that the blood had stopped flowing from his severed limbs, showing signs of healing and even regrowth.
"I see! So that's it!"
George immediately understood why Aldrich Killian had wanted to blow up Wayne Enterprises.
The potential of the Extremis Virus and Wayne Enterprises's limb regeneration technology would create a huge conflict.
Commercial behavior!
Barely makes sense!
Although George thought that as the boss of a large enterprise, this behavior seemed a bit blind, as Cyborg from the Batman camp, since he had already caught the mastermind, he naturally didn't bother to say more.
"Leave him to us!"
George nodded to Anton, who had transformed into Cyborg: "I'll give Wayne Enterprises an explanation."
Anton didn't intend to deal with Aldrich Killian privately anyway.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, even a superhero could easily leave a handle by actively killing a criminal.
After all, superheroes have no law enforcement power, only the obligation to maintain world peace!
Killing is only permitted by the authorities in "passive" circumstances.
The Avengers in the original plot were affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D. Even though they had law enforcement power, they were resisted by various governments and the United Nations for being too unrestrained.
The Justice League had learned their lesson; there was no need to be foolish.
Moreover, the Justice League had only just established contact with the U.S. government, the military, and the United Nations, represented by the World Security Council. Taking a hard stance would damage the "friendship" that had just been established, which would be counterproductive.
Secondly, for Batman's sake, the Justice League had always maintained a rather good relationship with the police department. Giving the police some face would allow the Justice League to gain more public support.
"He was originally left for you guys."
Anton instructed, "Remember, he injected himself with the Extremis Virus. His body has been modified, giving him extremely strong regenerative abilities, comparable to a Lizardman. His limbs will grow back quickly... I advise you to cut off his limbs again every half hour. Otherwise, the police department won't be able to hold him."
"Understood."
George's expression was solemn as he nodded seriously.
From Anton's explanation, he understood that Aldrich Killian was extraordinary.
Obviously, this was another superhuman who had evolved their body through the power of technology, just like the Lizardman before.
"I'll leave this to you then."
After saying this, Anton exploded with a massive rush of air from his feet, soaring into the sky and turning into a shooting star, disappearing into the horizon.
George watched him go.
Meanwhile, Aldrich Killian, standing beside George, completely ignored him, his pale face fixated on where Cyborg had vanished.
The hatred in his eyes was almost solid, like a blade.
"I won't let you go!"
Killian muttered to himself.
Subsequently, reduced to a helpless state, he was completely unable to move and was carried into a police car by George and the others.
Cyborg's avatar vanished into the sky.
Anton, inside the house, blinked and went back downstairs, finding the old man busy guiding online public opinion.
"Old man, the mastermind has been caught. You can call the New York Police Department now and have them issue an official announcement again to clear Wayne Enterprises' name."
Anton continued, "Also, I'll have Eddie publish the details of this incident in the Daily Bugle tomorrow. However, there should already be comments about this online, so you can guide public opinion in advance."
"Oh?"
J. Jonah Jameson looked at Anton in surprise.
"So fast?!"
"Even the online comments are already out... What exactly did you do?"
J. Jonah Jameson was quite surprised.
It wasn't that he didn't think Anton could solve the problem, it was just that, an hour ago, Anton had said he was still confirming the mastermind, and now he was telling him he'd solved the problem...
The current situation gave him the illusion of, "I haven't even started to exert myself, and you've already fallen!"
In fact, it wasn't an illusion!
Ring, ring, ring!
Suddenly, Jameson's phone rang.
After answering, he exchanged a few words with the person on the other end, his expression instantly shocked, and he looked up at Anton while talking.
Only after hanging up did the old man finally speak.
"I have to say..."
He couldn't suppress his smile, and his tone was full of amazement: "You truly surprise me, Anton!"
