"What?"
The Black Man looked at Tao Wen, utterly bewildered.
"Lead the way."
Tao Wen exerted a slight pressure with his right hand, bending the Black Man's arm into an unnatural angle.
"Agh!"
The Black Man screamed, no longer daring to speak or deceive Tao Wen. He knew that if he played dumb again, he might lose the use of his arm.
Immediately, he led Tao Wen towards a corner of the bar.
In that corner, at a larger booth, a White Man sat, smoking a cigar and drinking, his gaze unfocused as he surveyed the entire bar.
But amidst the haze, a chilling glint appeared.
Like the eyes of an eagle, sharp and piercing.
"Boss!"
The White Man, in the lead, shouted in a panic after seeing the man, as if calling for help. Unfortunately, the bar was too noisy, and the man didn't notice the anomaly, assuming the White Man was calling out to him.
"You brought her? I'll give you all credit for this."
The man's gaze swept past the White Man and landed on Wanda. When he saw Wanda's appearance, a strong light flashed in his eyes, which then dimmed: "Tsk tsk, she's really beautiful. But it's a pity, she's not someone we can taste. And if she survives, she'll be someone I'll have to look up to."
"So, you're their boss?"
Tao Wen looked at the man in front of him with a bit of disappointment. He'd been hoping it was the Winter Soldier, but it turned out to be just an ordinary man.
"Who is he?"
The man frowned, looking at the others and shouting angrily, "What are you doing? Why did you bring an irrelevant person here?"
The man was about to continue berating them when he caught sight of the unnatural bend in the Black Man's right arm. He instantly understood what had happened.
He stood up abruptly, flipped backward, and began to flee frantically.
Bang!
But just as he landed, a bottle of whiskey flew over and hit him squarely in the forehead.
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Think you can run?"
As he tried to get up, a sneaker landed on his chest, preventing him from moving, no matter how hard he struggled. At the same time, a cold voice echoed.
"Spill it. What are you doing here? If I'm in a good mood, I might even let you leave. Otherwise, the guys at the bar across the street will be very welcoming."
Tao Wen stared at the man, a playful look in his eyes, like a cat watching a mouse.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The man was stubborn and unwilling to speak, but his face instantly turned pale. As someone who frequented this area, he knew exactly what kind of place the bar across the street was. It was a place where "true love" meant something very different.
As a straight man, that place would be hell.
Even death was preferable.
Snap.
Tao Wen's right foot swept out slightly, striking the man's shoulder. The clothes on his shoulder tore, revealing his muscular physique. Etched into his flesh was a terrifying HYDRA tattoo.
"Who the hell are you!"
The man's expression immediately changed drastically. He'd originally thought this was just a dispute, but now it seemed far from simple. Very few people still knew about HYDRA.
"Who do you think I am?"
Tao Wen shook the mask on his face. Barton's face instantly shifted from cold to a smile. This was a unique ability he'd obtained after spending a hundred dollars.
He'd wanted to buy this suit precisely because of this.
"Hawkeye, Barton, you're..."
The man immediately shouted, about to mention S.H.I.E.L.D.
"You know too much. Quickly, tell me your objective this time."
Tao Wen didn't give the man a chance. Instead, he stomped on the man's mouth, turning his words into muffled whimpers.
After the interrogation, he finally lifted his foot.
"I won't tell you! Hail HYDRA!"
A flicker of madness flashed in the man's eyes as he raised his right hand and slammed it onto his chest.
"Not good!"
The instant the man's hand hit his chest, an unprecedented sense of danger washed over Tao Wen. He leaped backward, tackling Wanda, who was rushing forward to watch, and knocking her to the ground.
"What are you doing!"
Wanda shrieked in terror, trying to push Tao Wen away. She wasn't ready to accept him.
Tao Wen's actions made her feel panicked.
Boom!
Her voice had just risen when a loud explosion suddenly came from behind.
A terrifying explosion occurred where the man was, completely engulfing a range of several meters.
The entire bar shuddered.
At the same time, all the lights went out.
The music also disappeared, and the entire venue turned silent.
"Ah!"
"Run!"
"No!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the men and women in the bar screamed wildly, scattering in all directions.
Many were trampled underfoot, clutching their heads in agony.
Most people rushed out of the bar. The sudden explosion nearly made the bar's managers faint; they valued their lives above all else.
But what was more important was to evacuate the crowd, rushing outside to help.
"Damn it!"
Tao Wen brushed off the dust on his body and shook his head. The explosion hadn't hurt him, but it had moved him several meters.
"Argh!"
Wanda, in his arms, was screaming hysterically. The sudden explosion had stunned her and triggered childhood memories, plunging her into panic.
Tao Wen looked around and saw that the few people had been blown to pieces, vanishing within the bar.
With their deaths, his leads had once again dried up.
"Damn it, let's go find your brother!"
Having spotted an escape route, Tao Wen headed towards the door with Wanda, saying this. Since Quicksilver hadn't come looking for them, something must have gone wrong.
"Brother!"
Wanda, still in a state of panic, suddenly broke free from Tao Wen's embrace and quickly scanned her surroundings.
"They've all gone outside."
Tao Wen said to Wanda, and walked out of the bar.
Outside the bar, lights flashed. The empty street was now packed with people. Many women were crying loudly, and some men were crying too. The sudden explosion was truly frightening.
Police cars were parked along the street, and yellow tape had been put up.
"Hello, please cooperate with our investigation."
Tao Wen and Wanda were surrounded as soon as they left the bar. The lights shining in their eyes made them both uncomfortable.
"We're with S.H.I.E.L.D."
Tao Wen pulled out his S.H.I.E.L.D. badge and showed it to a White Man.
"Sir."
The man immediately saluted Tao Wen. Of course, he knew about S.H.I.E.L.D., a department belonging to the nation and an entity above them, filled with the elite of the elite.
"Just handle it here."
Tao Wen instructed again.
"Understood."
The man immediately understood what was meant and nodded heavily. At the same time, the weight in his heart lifted. Cases related to S.H.I.E.L.D. were something they truly couldn't handle.
It was best to avoid getting involved.
"Brother!"
After Wanda rushed out of the security line, she called out loudly, trying to find Quicksilver. But no matter how she searched, Quicksilver seemed to have vanished.
"It's highly likely your brother went home. We should look for him together."
Tao Wen immediately suggested.
"I can search myself."
Wanda looked coldly at Tao Wen, her eyes filled with panic and fear.
"I..."
Tao Wen paused, immediately understanding what Wanda was worried about.
A man and a woman alone together... things could easily go wrong.
He took a black object from his pocket and handed it to Wanda: "Then you can go back and look for him yourself. But take this tracker. As long as you keep it safe, I can find you wherever you are."
"Okay."
Wanda took the tracker and started running in a certain direction.
Tao Wen didn't leave. Instead, he followed behind Wanda, escorting her home.
"Ah!"
Wanda was walking quickly when she reached an alleyway and suddenly screamed.
