What happened next completely surpassed Alexandra's imagination; a gate to hell had been opened.
The water of the River Styx symbolized the beginning of eternal death, a fate most feared by people like her who walked the line of crime.
"No! No! I'm the saint of Kunlun! You can't do this to me!" Alexandra howled wildly.
It was a pity that at this moment, Aaron had no pity in his eyes for the woman in front of him.
In the dead space, a black-purple ball of light appeared from Aaron's hand. This was the divine power of Hades, the lord of the underworld, instantly unleashed.
There was no expansion, no sinner left out. The moment the ball of light appeared, everyone in the Hand's underground base died instantly.
High above the Pacific Ocean, an aerospace carrier was hidden in the clouds. This was the real headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., as the Trident headquarters in New York City was just a front.
"Jingle Bell!!"
"Phil Coulson? Natasha Romanoff's job in Manhattan has been handed over to you. About that young man..."
Nick Fury's words were cut short by Agent Phil Coulson's voice, which sounded unnatural.
"Phil Coulson? What's wrong with you?"
"Director, I just sent a video to your mailbox. Please see for yourself..."
A video? What video?
Nick Fury immediately went to his computer and opened it. In his email, a video sent by Phil Coulson was waiting.
This is!
Fury was stunned. The video showed the Hand's underground base, which he had just investigated not long ago. S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't supposed to be responsible for this base. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. dealt with high-tech criminals. They had long known about the Hand, but the dirty work of their underlings was typically the responsibility of Customs and the NYPD. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about this place but didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, hundreds of people in this base had died without warning. There were no wounds on their bodies. Some people had even died completely in their sleep.
"This..."
The "black stewed egg," as he was nicknamed, grew even darker in an instant. Nick Fury immediately contacted Phil Coulson to get more information about the scene.
"Director..."
At the scene, Phil Coulson's face looked grim. In the entire underground base, no traces of a struggle were found—except for a large opening in the ceiling.
This could only mean that the ninjas had all died in an instant, without any notice. This explained why there were no signs of a struggle.
At that moment, several agents searching the scene came over.
"Phil Coulson, what do you think this is?"
The agent was holding a plastic bag containing something that looked like a flower petal. However, the petal was withered and had black marks on it, which looked like normal decay, not dried blood.
"Take it for analysis and get me the results as soon as possible."
Phil Coulson had never seen a leaf like this, but since it was the only thing found at the scene, it had to be related to the killer.
"Director, the deceased's facial expression is very ferocious. It appears to be Alexandra, one of the Hand's top leaders, according to our files."
Phil Coulson took a picture of Alexandra's body and sent it.
When Fury received it, his face was shocked. Wasn't this the same woman seen confronting Aaron, the gallery owner, on a rooftop last night?
No wonder she looked so familiar. Alexandra, one of the Hand's "Five Fingers."
"Wait! Last night!"
Last night, the Hand members raided the gallery, and Aaron killed Murakami and Madame Gao. So, Alexandra's death... could it also be that person?!
The people at S.H.I.E.L.D. knew Aaron had an ability beyond that of an ordinary person, but they didn't know what it was. But today, Nick Fury suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He can kill people without warning and leave no traces at the scene? This man is dangerous!
Suddenly, the task of S.H.I.E.L.D. became serious. A full investigation into Aaron's identity began.
Thirty-third Street, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan.
"The petals of the sala tree have a different kind of sweetness when brewed as tea."
On the other end, a bald woman unceremoniously raised her cup. After taking a sip, she looked at the young man in front of her.
"Are you saying I will be killed by my own disciples in the not-so-distant future?"
"How?" Aaron asked with a smile, looking at the bald woman. "Didn't the Sorcerer Supreme already see their own future? Do you still need me to answer such a trivial matter?"
Ancient One smiled. "But I can't see your past, and I can't see your future..."
"If you enjoy the novel, please support me with power stones and leave a review If possible. I would be very grateful"
