I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 238 Unexpected Turn of Events

"Stay here, Tony, I'll go buy you some time."

Just as Tony's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, and he was mentally prepared to die together with his opponent...

Under Tony's guidance, Ethan clumsily operated the computer and completed the connection program startup steps, realizing that Tony needed time.

So Ethan didn't hesitate at all. He simply patted Tony's Iron Man suit, gave him some instructions, and before Tony could stop him, he turned and walked towards the workshop entrance. With his hands raised in a surrender gesture, he forced a smile and tried to distract Tony with a forced attempt to explain.

"Hey, good evening, everyone... uh, you might not believe it, but what just happened was purely accidental. We just left the explosives we need for the missiles by the door and forgot to take them. We didn't expect you guys to suddenly show up... Of course, if you don't mind, I'll find some medicine for you right now and see if I can save a few of your brothers!"

During their conversation, it was revealed that Ethan had been fulfilling his duty as a doctor, diligently treating the wounded during his kidnapping. As a result, this harmless and kind-hearted man had managed to accumulate a certain degree of goodwill among the lower-ranking members of the terrorist group.

So when they saw Ethan leave, the group of menacing terrorists were clearly taken aback.

Some of those who had been saved by Ethan instinctively lowered their guns, fearing that they might accidentally fire and kill their savior.

"Kill him!"

Unfortunately, the terrorist leader, realizing he had been tricked, was determined to kill them and would not give Ethan and his men any chance to struggle.

Seeing that his underlings were showing signs of softening their stance at this critical juncture, he realized that...

The terrorist leader, while issuing a firm order to attack, snatched a weapon from the nearest henchman, aimed at Ethan, and mercilessly pulled the trigger!

Seeing that their boss had spoken, and knowing how ruthless this terrorist leader was, the underlings had no choice but to obey orders and pull the triggers in order to save their own lives.

Thus, in what was called a workshop but was actually a small cave with a limited space, they were subjected to such intense firepower.

Let alone Ethan...

Even Tony, who was not far away, was not going to escape unscathed!

"Wow, what a generous welcome... Unfortunately, I'm arriving empty-handed, so I'm embarrassed to accept it. Therefore, I'll return these bullets to you!"

But at this critical moment, accompanied by nonchalant and joking words, a gray-silver barrier appeared unexpectedly in front of Ethan and behind the terrorists.

The next second, the bullet that was originally aimed at Ethan disappeared instantly upon contact with the gray-silver barrier, only causing ripples...

Even more bizarrely, these bullets, which seemed to have disappeared, were launched again from another location, from behind the gray-silver barrier of the terrorists, at the same speed!

Caught completely off guard, these arrogant terrorists were riddled with bullets by their own hand, suffering the consequences of their own actions!

Only the bald terrorist leader stood unharmed in the same spot.

Before he could recover from his shock and realize that he was indeed lucky, he was still alive.

Then, the black Spider-Man quietly emerged from the gray-silver barrier, reached out from behind him, grabbed his neck with one hand, and lifted him off the ground.

Then, with the help of the voice changer function of the suit, he asked in a deep, cold voice, using the same tone as Batman, word by word.

"Alright, before my patience runs out, answer my question honestly... Who ordered you to kidnap Tony Stark!"

Clearly, his survival unscathed wasn't due to sheer luck...

On the contrary, it was because Riley wanted to extract some useful information from him that he subtly used the power of the Chicken Talisman to change the bullet's trajectory and save the fool's life when it returned.

Faced with Riley's threats and interrogation, the terrorist leader, who prided himself on being a tough guy and a ruthless killer, would undoubtedly give the answer...

"Okay! I'll talk! I'll talk! Please, don't kill me... I have family waiting for me to come back—!"

Of course, after Riley demonstrated his absolute power, the terrorist leader, who had always only bullied the weak and feared the strong, quickly chose to slide to his knees at lightning speed!

Not only did they fabricate family members who didn't even exist on the household registration book in order to survive, but they also did so in the name of someone else.

Fearing that a slow response would displease Riley, she decisively chose to betray her employer, Obadiah.

However, the cunning Obadiah had clearly anticipated that this fickle and treacherous man could betray him at any moment.

So, among that group of seriously injured and dying underlings, one of them coughed up blood, trembling as he reached into his robes and pulled out a small remote control device.

Then, just as the terrorist leader was about to say Obadiah's name, he used his last bit of strength to decisively press him down!

In an instant, a rapid ticking sound began to emanate from the terrorist leader's bald head, accompanied by flashing red light.

In less than a second, the terrorist leader, realizing what had happened, didn't even have time to cry out in terror before his entire body turned bright red as his body temperature rose rapidly!

It turned out that Obadiah, to prevent the terrorist leader from betraying him, not only injected him with the Extremis virus—obviously obtained from who-knows-where—during their private meeting, but also planted an inside agent, ready to kill him at any moment!

This unexpected turn of events truly caught Riley off guard. He could increasingly understand why the system, while specifically assigning him this task, had to abandon any further questions.

Instead, he opened a dimensional barrier, set the exit deep in space, and then threw the terrorist leader he was holding into it with a flick of his wrist!

Of course, with Riley's current arsenal, it's not entirely impossible to save this terrorist leader if he really wanted to.

For example, Riley could shove the dog charm into this guy's hand to make sure he doesn't self-destruct, then open a dimensional barrier and take Ethan and Tony to avoid the attack.

However, handing the talisman to such an evil person, and letting him discover that he won't die from self-destruction, and then starting to self-destruct wildly, is truly disgusting.

Furthermore, Riley, being a modern-day Jia Xu (a legendary Chinese military advisor), has more than one way to expose Obadiah's ambition. The reason for questioning him in public is merely to give Tony a wake-up call, making him realize that the suffering he has endured over the past three months is by no means accidental.

Now, a thoughtful expression appeared on Tony's face.

Knowing that his goal had been achieved, Riley naturally had no reason to keep this beast, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless people, alive!
