Stop!"
Toad Man didn't dare to move. Steve snatched the gun from his hand and threw it aside, then asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here? Who sent you?"
"I say, Captain, is there even a need to ask?" Su Zhan couldn't help but retort as he watched Steve interrogate Toad Man, "Him? Who else do you think could have sent him? It could only be Magneto!"
"Magneto is really something. He has quite a few Mutants under him. Why send anyone else but him? I say, Magneto is looking down on you!" Su Zhan said, looking at Nick Fury.
Nick Fury said indifferently, "Those who look down on me will naturally pay the price."
"Tsk tsk, that sounds pretty domineering. Do you know that if it weren't for me, you'd be dead today? One Winter Soldier is enough for you to handle, and there are two more Mutants. Magneto is now working with HYDRA. Without S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, how will you make them pay the price?" Su Zhan curled his lips, unsure where Nick Fury's confidence came from.
"Isn't there still you?" Nick Fury looked at Su Zhan. "Although you said you came to help me because of Natasha, I absolutely don't believe it's just that. What's more, rather than saying they look down on me, wouldn't it be more accurate to say they look down on you? They know you're here, that you're protecting me, and they still sent him..."
"Actually, I really dislike you. You're so good with words, trying to use me to kill others with a few sentences, trying to instigate me to help you? Do you think I'm stupid?" Su Zhan snorted irritably. "I'm only saving you this once. The rest has nothing to do with me."
"Hey, Old Man wouldn't just send you alone, right?" Su Zhan asked Toad Man.
He found that the system still hadn't given a task completion prompt, meaning the matter wasn't over yet.
"I, I don't know!" Toad Man shook his head and said.
"Do you think we'll believe that?" Steve sternly shouted from the side.
Su Zhan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you don't say it, I can find out what I want." He released his Ability to read minds, quietly listening to Toad Man's thoughts.
A moment later, Su Zhan frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Steve asked in confusion.
"What this guy said is actually true..." Su Zhan found that Toad Man really didn't know if Magneto had sent anyone else, or rather, Magneto really only sent him alone, but HYDRA might be different.
Just as he was thinking, Su Zhan heard Nick Fury grunt, and then found that Nick Fury was gone, and the door slammed shut, with the sound of it closing only coming out a long time later.
Steve was stunned for a moment and quickly chased after him.
Su Zhan, however, did not move. He knew who had taken Nick Fury. Recalling the mission content, he knew where the problem was.
Chapter 0158: One Against Four
He had jumped to conclusions!
Having figured out the cause of the problem, Su Zhan was about to leave to complete the mission, but then the door was pushed open again. Sharon tentatively walked in, and seeing Su Zhan and Toad Man lying on the ground, Sharon asked in confusion, "What happened? I just heard gunshots and saw Steve rushing out."
"Just a small accident," Su Zhan said with a smile.
Sharon's expression was puzzled, but she was guessing what kind of accident it was and who the person lying on the ground was.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. What you need to do now is go back to your home and do your own thing." Su Zhan smiled. Sharon was half-believing. She didn't believe it was just a small accident, but for some reason, seeing Su Zhan's calm and confident expression made her feel that no matter what happened, he could solve it. Especially his voice, which was nothing special but made Sharon feel unusually secure and at ease.
"Then... then I'll go back. You, you be careful." Unable to reveal her identity, Sharon could only say a concerned word, then turned and went back.
After Sharon left, Su Zhan was also ready to go.
"Wait, don't leave, what... what about me?"
Seeing Su Zhan about to leave, Toad Man quickly stood up and asked Su Zhan somewhat blankly.
Su Zhan looked at Toad Man speechlessly, not expecting him to ask such a question.
Speaking of which, this Toad Man was quite pitiful. Because he was ugly and his Ability was not strong, even a bit disgusting—after all, others' Abilities were either strong or cool, but he was like a toad. So, he especially lacked care. As long as someone showed him a little concern, he would loyally serve that person. That's how Magneto recruited him in the first place.
In reality, this guy really couldn't be considered a bad person!
"You can be a hostage. Maybe I can use you to rescue Nick Fury." Su Zhan shook his head, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Toad Man. Immediately after... Toad Man felt the scenery before his eyes suddenly change. He was just in Captain America's house, but now he suddenly appeared in an abandoned factory.
Looking closely again, Toad Man recognized it. Wasn't this the temporary base they had found before? He was about to speak, but suddenly found himself imprisoned, like a cell, unable to make any sound.
Su Zhan took two steps forward, sizing up the group of people who had become wary opposite him.
There were four people in total.
Callisto stood on the far side. Next to her stood a person who looked like an Asian, with his face and body covered in thorns, looking like a Hedgehog Man. Next to Hedgehog Man was a sturdy, tall man wearing a helmet and armor, half a head taller than the others. Next to him was a slovenly man!
Callisto, Hedgehog Man, Red Tank, and... Clone Man?
Not far behind these four, Winter Soldier stood next to Nick Fury. Nick Fury's hands were cuffed to a nearby pipe, and Winter Soldier's face was a bit pale, looking slightly weak, probably having just woken up not long ago.
"Where's Magneto?"
Su Zhan scanned around, a little disappointed not to find Magneto.
"Su Zhan, we don't want to be your enemies. This matter has nothing to do with you. You've already killed Hu Guang. If you're willing to leave now, Magneto definitely won't pursue it..." Callisto said in a deep voice.
It seemed that among these people, Callisto was likely in charge.
"This matter has had something to do with me ever since you rescued Winter Soldier. What's more... even if this hadn't happened, I would still go find Magneto. The last incident won't be settled so easily. It's not that he won't pursue it, but that I will pursue it. So, now you have two choices. One: release the person, then disappear from my sight and go tell Magneto to wait for me to find him. Two: deal with you all, and I'll take the person myself."
"Choose what? One against four, do you think you can win?" Hedgehog Man shook his head, saying arrogantly.
"Aren't you going to consider him?"
Su Zhan pointed to the imprisoned Toad Man.
Toad Man instantly became nervous.
"Him? Just a good-for-nothing. What value does he have if he can't even complete a mission?" Clone Man said disdainfully, "If you're trying to threaten us with him, you're greatly mistaken. If you kill him, you'll actually be helping us get rid of a good-for-nothing."
"Are you sure? If Magneto..." Su Zhan's words were cut off impatiently by Clone Man. "This is what Magneto ordered, so don't give up, and don't expect to use him to exchange for Nick Fury. If you want to kill him, just do it!"
Su Zhan didn't finish, just looked at Toad Man. Toad Man's initial anger, a feeling of being betrayed, especially after hearing that this was Magneto's order, made him instantly despair and collapse onto the ground. That desperate, numb look made Su Zhan feel a bit unbearable to watch.
Although he hadn't originally intended to use Toad Man as a hostage to exchange for Nick Fury, only wanting Toad Man to know what kind of person he was truly following, now he wasn't sure if doing this was right after all.
This was too big of a blow for Toad Man.
"One against four? Against trash like you, even one against forty makes no difference. You say Toad Man was abandoned by Magneto, but in reality, aren't you all the same? If Magneto were truly that confident, he would be here now, not the four of you."
Su Zhan looked at them and shook his head. The Aether Battle Suit covered his body, and he beckoned to them.
"I'll let you make the first move, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even get a chance to!"
"Hmph!"
Su Zhan's words seemed to anger them. With a cold snort, Clone Man rapidly vibrated his body, instantly splitting into many clones, all rushing towards Su Zhan. At the same time, Hedgehog Man, with his body full of thorns, followed closely behind.
"Not all at once?" Seeing Callisto and Red Tank seemingly not intending to charge forward, Su Zhan sneered, "Daring to hold back when fighting me, you truly don't know how to write the word 'death'."
