Han Yu thought, suddenly feeling a gaze fixed on him. He turned his head and found Kingpin staring.
Thinking of what he said, Han Yu didn't bother to argue, and said directly, "I'm very interested in the woman among them. Is Mr. Kingpin planning to compete with me?"
Looking at Han Yu's calm smile, the more Kingpin thought about it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was not ordinary.
He had watched the surveillance footage of the intersection, the day Han Yu saved his son.
Han Yu had rescued Kingpin's son from the crosswalk at the traffic lights in an instant, from a road a hundred meters away!
In the eyes of ordinary people, it was just a gust of wind.
"What exactly is this guy's background? He is definitely a powerful superpowered person!"
After getting Kingpin's information, Han Yu bid farewell to him and went to find Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, following the address he provided.
Night fell. Under a bridge with cars coming and going, a man and a woman were sitting on a dilapidated sofa someone had discarded under the bridge.
Even though her clothes were a bit dirty, it couldn't hide the woman's beauty. The combination of over-the-knee socks and a short skirt made her exposed white legs stand out. She was the Scarlet Witch, Wanda.
Beside Wanda, a silver-haired man handed her a piece of bread, saying, "Wanda, eat something."
This was her brother, Quicksilver, Pietro.
"How much longer do we have to do this?"
Wanda looked at the bread Quicksilver offered; it was a bit moldy. She buried her head in her legs, feeling listless.
The past few days of fleeing and wandering had left her exhausted. She couldn't eat regularly and was constantly hungry.
Quicksilver sighed; he couldn't do anything either. Although their previous life wasn't great, at least they didn't have to worry about food and drink.
Now, the Avengers had destroyed their "home," forcing them to wander outside. Otherwise, if the Avengers caught them, they might be locked up again, just like before.
"Eat something, okay? I'll try to find a job in a few days. As long as we have a normal income, we can live properly," Quicksilver comforted.
Wanda sighed softly and was about to take the bread from Quicksilver when her eyes caught sight of several people walking towards them.
Looking up, she saw three men in ragged clothes. Judging by their appearance, they were from the nearby slums.
Quicksilver also noticed the three men. Seeing them heading straight for them, he felt a bad premonition. He pulled Wanda up, intending to leave, but as they stood up, two more men in ragged clothes approached them from the front. It seemed they were a group.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I've been watching you for days. This is our turf, and you've been sleeping comfortably, haven't you?"
One of the three men, a black man with a brown headscarf, said.
Quicksilver didn't want to cause trouble, so he said, "Sorry, we didn't know this was your territory. We'll just leave."
Quicksilver and Wanda wanted to leave, but the other four men blocked their way, forming a circle and surrounding them.
"Did I say you could leave?"
The turbaned man walked over, sizing up Quicksilver and Wanda before finally focusing on Wanda.
Seeing such a beautiful woman, a look of surprise flashed in the turbaned man's eyes. He said, "You've slept here for a few days. You should pay something, right?"
Quicksilver stepped in front of Wanda. He noticed the way the man was looking at her. Being a man himself, Quicksilver knew exactly what the other man was thinking.
And this place was near the slums. The police wouldn't care about this kind of thing unless it was serious.
But Wanda was his sister. He wouldn't hand her over for safety.
Could I use my powers?
Quicksilver clenched his fists. He hadn't used his superpowers often, only to steal takeout a few days ago. But that had led to a group of unknown people following him.
He didn't want to use it anymore, fearing he'd be targeted and endanger Wanda's safety.
Seeing Quicksilver remain silent, the man in the headscarf also didn't bother with further words. He stepped forward and reached out to grab Wanda.
Scarlet light flashed from Wanda's hands, but Quicksilver restrained her. She turned to look at him, and he gently shook his head, signaling her not to use her abilities.
The lecherous hand hadn't even touched Wanda when a soft gust of wind swept through. Immediately afterward, a scream of agony erupted from the man in the headscarf.
In the center of the hand he'd extended, a bloodied hole, half the length of a pinky finger, appeared.
"Leave now, while you still can."
A voice, rich with a magnetic quality, came from behind them. Turning around, they saw a young man holding a bag of food. He was standing there, seemingly out of nowhere, smiling as he tossed a pebble in his hand.
"There's no harm in using your abilities against such people. Even if they try to accuse you, few would believe them anyway."
The hand of the man in the turban was smashed by Han Yu with a cobblestone.
With the Immortality Seal, his physical strength had also reached a superhuman level; a stone he threw could reach the speed of a rifle bullet.
"What are you waiting for? Beat him! Beat him to death!"
The man in the turban said in pain, clutching his hand.
The others looked at each other, and after hesitating for half a minute, they gritted their teeth, took out spring knives from their pockets, shouted to bolster their courage, and then pounced on Han Yu.
"Just this?"
Han Yu smiled faintly, calmly twirling the few cobblestones in his hand, looking at the running guys with a look of indifference.
These guys, who had only taken less than five steps, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, clutching their knees and shouting in pain.
Wanda asked, a little puzzled, "What just happened?"
From Wanda's perspective, they were all running and suddenly fell, without any warning.
Only Quicksilver's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out, "Such speed!"
Quicksilver was the only speed-type super-powered person present. His movement speed could reach the speed of sound.
But even at this speed, when Han Yu made his move just now, he could only see a blur.
Han Yu slowly stepped forward, chuckling, "Are you all okay?"
"I'm fine... Thank you just now."
Han Yu's appearance and gentle words were something Wanda, who had never even been in a relationship, couldn't resist. His eyes were very clear, and Wanda didn't see the lecherous gaze of other men in Han Yu's eyes.
Because of this, she was actually a little unaccustomed, and turned her head away, blushing.
"Who are you?"
Quicksilver was more alert, pulling Wanda behind him, warily watching Han Yu.
Seeing Quicksilver's wariness, Han Yu didn't approach, maintaining a safe distance that put him at ease. Then he smiled, "Just a small grocery store owner passing by."
Quicksilver was really uneasy. After thanking Han Yu, he pulled Wanda and turned to leave.
Just as the two of them were about to take a step, their stomachs both rumbled at the same time.
Han Yu chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, come eat at my place. I won't charge you. Just work for me for a few days."
Both Quicksilver and Wanda blushed. They were indeed starving. Han Yu's words broke down their last bit of stubbornness.
On the way, Han Yu pretended to ask for their names, even though he already knew them. Through this brief conversation, he managed to lower Quicksilver's guard.
Wanda, on the other hand, was easy to talk to. With her naturally young and innocent personality, she was no match for Han Yu, who had come from a highly developed entertainment and internet world.
The scoundrels in the Marvel world were not nearly as formidable as those in Han Yu's previous world.
To help them relax, Han Yu also took the initiative to reveal that he had superpowers.
Knowing that he was also a superpowered individual, they became less and less resistant to Han Yu, out of a sense of camaraderie.
As soon as they returned to the grocery store, Han Yu cooked two dishes: Spicy Chicken Cubes and Mapo Tofu. The enticing aroma filled the hall as soon as he brought them out, making them all eager to eat.
"So numbing! So spicy! But so good with rice!"
Quicksilver, who had been the most cautious initially, was now the one enjoying the meal the most. He scooped a spoonful of chicken into his bowl, and quickly devoured half a bowl of rice.
"Haha, eat more if you like it. This is all food from my hometown, not everyone gets to eat it," Han Yu said with a laugh as he ate. He hadn't eaten dinner either, and his eating speed seemed to be not much slower than Quicksilver's.
Watching the two of them devour the food, Wanda felt amused and also somewhat relaxed. For some reason, coming to this small grocery store made her feel inexplicably relaxed, as if she were back home.
