Chapter 73 - Howard Stark

"Shen, are you serious? Only one time wearing women's clothes?"

After a long pause, Charles, still somewhat incredulous, confirmed the conditions for letting Magneto go with Shen Mu.

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."

"What, are you saying one time isn't enough for you, and you want to wear it more often? If that's what you need, I'm not opposed to reluctantly satisfying you."

Shen Mu showed a peculiar smile upon hearing him say that.

"No! No! No!"

"One time is enough, I'll wear it, I'll wear it right away, as long as you let Erik go!"

Professor X immediately had Raven take him to find women's clothing, and at this point, he also released his psychic control over Psylocke.

Freed from the Professor's control, Psylocke immediately turned and fled!

Seeing this, Shen Mu didn't bother to chase her, as a small Psylocke was completely worthless.

At this moment, Shen Mu also temporarily let Magneto down, but he didn't try to resist again, merely waiting quietly.

Deep down, while he felt it was somewhat humiliating for his friend to save him in this way, he also had a certain anticipation for Charles's women's attire.

So, Magneto's heart was filled with contradiction.

"Excuse me?"

Just then, Howard and his wife, having survived the ordeal, walked up to Shen Mu with Jarvis, their butler.

Although Shen Mu's appearance clearly didn't resemble a normal human, given that they were all alive because of Shen Mu, Howard still approached to express his gratitude.

"Howard Stark?"

Shen Mu spoke his name in one breath, as these people's appearances weren't much different from those in the movies.

This was also why Shen Mu wanted Professor X to wear women's clothing.

After all, the Professor's appearance was famously known as "James McAvoy" in his original World.

"Sir, do you know me?"

Although he knew many secrets of this World, he had truly never heard of someone as powerful and unique as Shen Mu.

Now that Shen Mu called out his name, he felt no surprise, only a chill down his spine.

Because being remembered by a powerful entity beyond comprehension was not something to be happy about.

"I'm not very familiar with you, but I'm quite familiar with your son."

After all, he was the famous Iron Man of the future, and Shen Mu's previous life's exposure to Marvel was thanks to the Iron Man movie.

"What?"

"Tony? He's only a three-year-old child."

Howard was confused by Shen Mu's statement.

"He will be a great man in the future."

Shen Mu recalled the final snap in his previous life; although it was meant to give the hero an ending, the plot was simply too far-fetched!

"Thank you for your kind words. If there's an opportunity, Sir, you can visit Stark Industries to meet Tony. I believe he'll be very happy to see you."

"May I know your name, Sir?"

Although Howard didn't know the reason, he was very happy to hear praise for his son, so he extended an invitation to Shen Mu.

"My name is Shen Mu, and I come from Vanaheim."

Shen Mu didn't hide anything and told him directly.

"Vanaheim? Is that the place from Norse mythology?"

"Are you one of the legendary Vanir?"

With Howard's extensive knowledge, the name immediately brought its origin to mind.

Then he began to speculate about Shen Mu's identity.

"Although calling oneself a god is cliché, you are not wrong. From your perspective, I can do what gods can do, and I can do many things that gods cannot. However, I am not one of the Vanir."

Although "god" is a common term on Earth, it also represents reverence for certain unknowns.

"Stark, where is the Tesseract now?"

Shen Mu suddenly asked Howard a question that shocked him.

"Mr. Shen knows about the Tesseract?"

Howard immediately found Shen Mu very mysterious, knowing even some of the Military's secrets.

"Of course, I know perhaps more than you can imagine."

"The Tesseract is just the name you gave it, but it has its own original name."

"Moreover, the Tesseract is not its true form, and you don't even know its true purpose."

After HYDRA obtained the Tesseract, they only used it as an energy source and developed weapons with it.

"Mr. Shen, the whereabouts of the Tesseract are classified, and I cannot disclose them to outsiders."

Although he was very interested in what Shen Mu said, Howard did not reveal the Tesseract's whereabouts.

"Then, do you happen to know someone named Howard Potts?"

Upon hearing that familiar name, Howard's expression instantly changed!

Because he suspected that guy was the one who stole the Pym Particles and was the culprit behind the misunderstanding between him and Hank Pym.

"Mr. Shen, do you know his whereabouts? Could you tell me?"

Howard immediately asked excitedly.

"Of course, I know his whereabouts, but why should I tell you?"

"His identity is quite interesting, and he has a significant connection to you!"

Shen Mu used words to entice Howard.

"Mr. Shen, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Tesseract in exchange for his whereabouts. How about this trade?"

"Not very good, because I suddenly don't want to know the whereabouts of the Tesseract, or rather, I've already guessed where it is."

"Compared to the Tesseract's whereabouts, I prefer to see your confused expression."

Shen Mu deliberately spoke that name to confirm that this World was not a parallel World, but indeed the Marvel Universe 199999.

Seeing Shen Mu say this, Howard did not insist on asking further.

Because he remembered that Shen Mu had just made Professor Charles wear women's clothing, which was enough to show how mischievous his personality was!

The other party should genuinely know the inside story, but not telling him was probably to enjoy his futile efforts.

Just then, Shen Mu suddenly felt a slight sense of danger, very small, almost no threat to himself.

The next moment, his eyes followed the feeling, only to see two nuclear missiles flying towards their location.

"So-called politicians are truly ruthless!"

"If these two little guys explode, I suppose hardly any life will survive here!"

Hearing Shen Mu's soliloquy, Howard and the others tensed up.

"Mr. Shen, what happened?"

"Oh! Nothing, just someone launched two nuclear missiles here, no big deal."

"What?"

Howard's heart went cold; he hadn't expected those politicians to be so deranged, completely disregarding the lives of so many people here.

"Why panic? With little Erik here, even a hundred more would be nothing. Don't you agree?"

Shen Mu said, placing his hand on Magneto's shoulder.

Magneto was also furious at this moment; being beaten by Shen Mu was one thing, but now these people were so foolish as to use nuclear missiles against him!

"Hmm, little Erik, throw those two little gadgets into space! I know you can do it!"

Magneto actually wanted to smash those two missiles directly into Shen Mu's face, but thinking of his terrifying strength, he suppressed the impulse.

Then he flew into the sky, extended a hand towards the incoming missiles, and watched as they instantly changed trajectory, flying straight upwards.

And Shen Mu, also flying into the air, shot two terrifying heat rays in the direction from which the missiles had come.
