Two days later, in Washington.
Early in the morning, almost every household's television programs were occupied by the news — that was, the bodies of superheroes, including Captain America and Tony Stark, were found on the Washington Monument. The reporters at the scene also had different expressions on their faces.
"We haven't confirmed who did this, but it's obvious that this is a provocation to the United States of America …"
"What are the consequences of the deaths of superheroes? Who caused all this? We don't know yet, but the government has responded that they will do their best to catch the culprit … "
"Due to the accidental death of Tony Stark, the stock price of the Stark Corporation has plummeted by 78%. Turbulence in the financial market is inevitable …"
"The president will come to the funeral site in person today to mourn and deliver a eulogy for the heroes. Please watch the live broadcast now …"
Soon, the scene changed to the scene of the funeral. There, the president, dressed in a suit, was standing on the rostrum, reading a eulogy.
"… These heroes are the guardians of justice. They gave everything they had for humanity, for justice and freedom in the world. But now, they have been brutally killed and even humiliated in this way. This is intolerable. Here, on behalf of the United States of America, I swear that we will find the culprit and arrest him to comfort the souls of these heroes in heaven! "
However, before the President could finish his impassioned speech, a voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him.
"Don't bother looking for me. I'm here."
As soon as the voice faded, everyone saw a young man swaggering in from the door as if he was in a deserted place. He then walked towards the rostrum where the president was. Seeing this, the bodyguards and police officers around hurriedly tried to stop him. However, in the face of these people, Fangzheng just smiled and snapped his fingers.
Bang!!
The next moment, the heads of all the guards and bodyguards in the hall burst like watermelons. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Then, screams rang through the hall. The people who came to attend the funeral frantically tried to escape, but Fangzheng just waved his hand. The next moment, all the doors and windows were tightly closed. A series of sealing magic circles appeared on them, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Fangzheng walked up to the rostrum and looked at the crowd with a smile.
"Okay, next, it's time for the press conference. Do you have any questions?"
American reporters were indeed willing to risk their lives for the sake of news. Although the corpses of security guards and bodyguards with their heads blown off were everywhere under their feet, when they remembered that this was a global live broadcast ….
If he performed well, he might be able to make a name for himself for the rest of his life. The opportunity to become rich was right in front of him!
"I would like to ask... this gentleman..."
Soon, under the encouragement of reputation, a reporter mustered up the courage to ask.
"May I ask who you are? Why did you kill Captain America and all these other superheroes? Do you have any grudges with them? "
The Americans in this world were also very open-minded. However, there were all kinds of criminal organizations in this world. In fact, they had seen all kinds of bosses who created big news and gave themselves nicknames. Perhaps this person was one of them.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
However, Fangzheng did not answer their question.
"I have no grudges with these superheroes. I killed them for the freedom, justice, and peace of this world."
"Uh …."
Hearing this, the reporters looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a while. At that moment, the President glared angrily at Fangzheng.
"Nonsense! Captain America and the Avengers fought to protect the United States, to protect the American people. They are the guardians of freedom, peace, and justice! "
"It's the freedom, peace, and justice of the United States."
However, Fangzheng was unmoved. He just glanced at the President, then stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the side. Then, a dimensional door opened. The reporters saw young people walking out of it. The oldest among them was in their early twenties, while the youngest was only in their teens. There were both men and women among them. Most of them seemed to be in an ordinary financial situation.
"Come on, kids. Introduce yourself."
"My name is Ulmanov. I'm from Ukraine. My father died in a battle with Iron Man …. He was a civilian. He was killed by Iron Man's bomb …."
"My name is Lee. I'm from South Korea. When Captain America was fighting the bad guys in South Korea, my mother was driving through there. She didn't know what was going on … and then she got involved in the battle …."
"My name is …."
These people introduced themselves in front of the reporters one by one. They came from all over the world, Asia, Europe, Africa, but they all had a common identity. They were all victims of these superheroes' battles. They had all lost their families or limbs in the battle of these superheroes.
"I'm sorry about this, kids."
Hearing the complaints of these children, the President had no choice but to speak up. He then looked at the media cameras.
"I assure you that the US government has compensated these victims with enough money …."
"Money … Ah, money."
However, this time, he was interrupted by Fangzheng again.
"So in your opinion, human life can be measured in terms of money? Then, Mr. President …. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out a checkbook from his pocket.
"How much is your life worth? How about I make an offer now? "
"Enough!"
At this time, the Defense Minister finally could not help but stand up.
"There's nothing wrong with what those superheroes did. These are just sad accidents, but their original intention is not wrong. Those enemies, those enemies are the enemies of the United States of America. They want to hurt us, hurt our people, so we must defeat them!"
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
"So, you're saying that in order to protect the safety of the people of the United States of America, you're willing to fight against those 'enemies of the United States' on the land of other countries and sacrifice the lives of the local people?"
"…."
"This is indeed a very American way of thinking. Okay, kids, go back."
As he spoke, Fangzheng opened the portal again and sent the children back to their respective countries. Then, he looked at the camera again.
"So, the freedom, peace, and security of the people of the United States of America are based on the sacrifice of the freedom, peace, and security of the people of other countries. In order to protect your own country, you wantonly wage wars against other countries, incite conflicts, and use your superheroes to defeat all enemies that threaten you. For the people of the United States of America, what you're doing is right, but unfortunately, I'm not a citizen of the United States of America. I don't care about your freedom, security, and peace. "
Having said that, Fangzheng raised his hand. Along with his action, a black sword burning with flames appeared in his hand.
"I, the Companion of Justice, am now here, with all the justice, peace, and freedom in the world, to pronounce judgment on the evil United States of America. The superheroes of the United States of America, the government of the United States of America, and the people of the United States of America who voted for these governments, all of you are responsible for the crimes committed by the people of other countries and regions in this world who have lost their lives because of your selfishness, arrogance, and complacency. Therefore, I hereby declare …. "
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"The death penalty will be carried out immediately."
As his voice faded, the black sword in Fangzheng's hand stabbed heavily into the ground of the rostrum in front of him.
The next moment, hot flames rose to the sky, burning everything. 11_11604/
