An explosion shattered the windowpane. Sam quickly jumped out of bed and walked to the window out of curiosity. Just then, the wall of his house was smashed open. Sam took a step back, reacting quickly enough to avoid being grabbed, but he slipped and fell to the ground. From behind a hole in the wall, a tall, thin robot, just like in his dream, appeared and roared at Sam.
"Give me back the key to my life!"
Chapter 552 I don't care about this!
"Go to hell! I don't want to listen, don't waste your breath on me, I don't care about this!"
At the Avengers headquarters, watching the building improve day by day, Xu Fu sat on the sofa in the lobby like a clay figure. Faced with public opinion and citizens' condemnation that Xu Fu was unworthy of being a superhero, he was completely speechless. Of course, this was thanks to two laws of the United States: one was called the "Site Defense Act," and the other was called the "Castle Act" and the "Kassel Act."
The former stems from the latter. The official understanding of the "castle law" is that a person has no obligation to retreat and has the right to use deadly force to protect themselves and their family when violated. If you believe your privacy and private life have been violated, you can kill the intruder on your own property without any legal or liability. You are not responsible.
The "Local Defense Law" is even more terrifying because if a person is in an emergency where they have a legal right and believes their life is threatened by another person, they do not need to back down and can use force on the spot to protect themselves, up to and including death, without incurring any legal liability.
In short, it's all about "my territory, my rules." Especially with the dual laws in effect, trespassing on private property can result in a death sentence for 073. Just three hours earlier, two protesters broke into the Avengers base by climbing over the wall, their bodies still lying in the corner. Xu Fu didn't hesitate to kill these two audacious warriors.
Perhaps it was because they were frequently taken away from their homes by well-meaning people, and because they saw that these people couldn't attack or harm them with guns, that these individuals misunderstood Xu Fu's character and judgment. The two precious lives they lost showed them how wonderful and perfect their country's laws were. Protests can still be held in front of Xu Fu's house.
"Is everything there left to chance?"
Banner, with his Bulger, emerged from the underground research elevator. Listening to the noise, he asked Xu Fu, who shrugged, waved, and replied...
“Stark demanded that I give a media interview and issue a public apology, so I’m wondering, I killed a person, and after so many murders, should I apologize?”
The assassin Banner was also resistant, but for some reason, his resistance to Xu Fu and the professionalization of superheroes had been going on for a while. After seeing the passage of the bill by Congress, some people secretly tried to sabotage it through public opinion and the voices of the people, but it didn't work. No matter how these people promoted the superhero thing, it seemed that they couldn't get to the point.
So here's the situation today: protesters marched and no one paid attention, their protests went unheeded, the official media network seemed to be their outlet on the battlefield, no one responded to or promoted this cause, no passive-aggressive behavior spread, no one angered the protesters to bully Xu Fu, or even try to infiltrate the Avengers.
The girl did indeed apply to join the Avengers, along with her sister, brother, and Wasp. Xu Fu knew very well that the Avengers would not refuse Wanda or the power of control and leadership. Xu Fu felt that he was beginning to drift away from the essence of the organization he had created purely out of boredom, and he was being pulled back into the trajectory of history.
"...Xu Fu, you're going to extremes. We can completely rule out these two people."
"Does this make any sense? Will you kick me out if I'm not around?!"
"..."
Banner only shows sympathy for the citizens when he encounters the hot-tempered Xu Fu, who disapproves of his actions and has no intention of stopping them. An atmosphere of uncertainty is spreading within the Avengers team, and Xu Fu has gone from a qualified guide to the target of the mob's rebellion.
Speechless, watching Banner's figure, Xu Fu calmed down and thought, should he leave? The Avengers were becoming a team just as he remembered, and the changes he had caused were being repaired by this world. Despite their own intervention, many things had been changed and corrupted. Xu Fu found himself thrown out of any world he had entered.
"Perhaps it really is time to give up..."
Stroking his chin, Xu Fu murmured to himself. Just then, the phone rang. He pulled out the receiver and answered it, but before he could even ask who was on the other end, a hurried voice rang out.
"The Avengers? ...Sam...I'm Sam...help me...please help me!"
Sam is a teenager who obtained the Transformers Core Origin Diagram, but the AllSpark has already been taken by Optimus Prime. Now he's calling him for help. What does this mean? Optimus Prime has the AllSpark, so does he have an enemy he can't decide about? Looking at his phone, he doesn't understand this question. Of course, Xu Fu really doesn't know Optimus Prime and his team. He doesn't even know that Optimus Prime left with the AllSpark. He doesn't even know that Optimus Prime left Earth with the AllSpark, wanting to return to Cybertron to rebuild their home and make Cybertron a new engine.
"This is Xu Fu. Jarvis is analyzing the signal from the call source and locating it."
Standing up, Xu Fu walked to the control panel on the side, plugged his phone into the socket, and pressed the start button. Behind him, Jarvis's voice appeared on the large screen.
"According to the scanning results, Mr. Xu Fu, the source of the mobile phone signal is in Africa, a third news agency. I can only pinpoint the exact location to within 100 kilometers because the communication methods in Africa cannot initiate more accurate analysis. This is the limit of the mobile phone signal."
The map marked the interior of the Sahara Desert, which stretched for 100 kilometers. The group of people looked a little confused, wondering what Sam was doing there. "That kid is really something," Xu Fu thought, unplugging his phone from the socket. He then switched the blue switch to the side, and a red light flashed on the screen behind him.
"Sir, I must remind you that your actions are now under official observation, and some of the actions you take will be recorded on video."
“I know. I’m starting the Avengers. My target is the Sahara Desert in Africa, the coordinates you just found for me.”
The official collaboration with Stark will be on the combat aircraft he developed. As this is the Avengers' territory, the conditions for deploying the combat aircraft will be controlled by the state. Xu Fu, under video surveillance, would never do anything to violate international law. He quickly left the hall, then suddenly stopped at the door, looking up at the surveillance camera and saying...
Jarvis told Stark that he needed to talk to him about something very important and that he should meet him here at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
“Yes, Mr. Xu Fu, I will inform Mr. Stark of your request.”
Chapter 553 Unknown Forces
"Come up quickly!"
On a golf course in Los Angeles, Jason Statham checked his watch. A moment later, a fighter jet descended vertically from the sky, the rear door opened, and Xu Fu, holding the handle, waved to Jason Statham.
“I have information about the case you asked me to investigate, but Xu Fu, I advise you not to get involved in this operation!”
With a vertical jump, hovering at a height of one meter, Xu Fu dragged the plane. Jason Statham warned Xu Fu to take off, and he waited until the cabin door was completely closed before letting go of the door and sitting in the side seat.
Tell us what the problem is!
Sam's story continues. This guy's legendary experience is obviously more than just knowing about the AllSpark. It's just a mystery what this bastard is doing in Egypt, why he only called me, and why even the military and Hornets still think he's in Los Angeles. School should start in ten days. Judging from what he knows about Sam, shouldn't he be following his sexy girlfriend around like a lapdog right now?
"A kid named Sam seems to be hiding some secrets, but he hasn't told a group of Transformers robots or even the military. Just fifteen days ago, a huge explosion occurred at the Sector 48 research base. A group of unknown forces attacked the base and took away Megatron's body. According to the information I received, Megatron seems to have been resurrected by the military! And the one who attacked the military base was the so-called Decepticon robot team."
Jason Statham's explanation sent chills down Xu Fu's spine. Xu Fu never expected that Megatron would be resurrected by the US military. It was truly a death wish. However, Xu Fu was very curious. He had killed Megatron and almost formatted his brain. How could he be resurrected?
Megatron's heart is broken!
"A small portion of the AllSpark was handed over to the American military by Optimus Prime in exchange for a modified spaceship. Optimus Prime's modified spaceship carried the AllSpark and the Autobots back to Cybertron. Although some Autobots remained, the robots here were not their main force and remained neutral in their cooperation with the military. The problem is that the military plans to establish its own mechanical army. Since they have decided to establish it, they will naturally start by researching the strongest robots."
It was Jason Statham's answer again. Xu Fu frowned. His attention wasn't on Jason Statham, but on Optimus Prime's actions. This didn't seem like a coincidence at all. Would Optimus Prime not know the effects of the AllSpark? He should know the power of the AllSpark better than anyone, yet he still handed it over to the military.
What was Optimus Prime's purpose? His hasty departure, after dismissing the AllSpark, was almost a gesture, a pretense that he had no connection to Megatron. The issue of Megatron's resurrection wasn't about the AllSpark or Optimus Prime. If we continue along this line of thought, the Autobots left behind by Optimus Prime might not just exist as a link, but rather to monitor the military, specifically their use of the AllSpark.
"They might really be crazy..."
Jason Statham muttered to himself, not understanding who Xu Fu was referring to, assuming Xu Fu was talking about the American armed forces, so he continued to explain to Xu Fu.
"In the eyes of the American government, the robot issue doesn't seem to be a big problem because you super soldiers killed Megatron, giving government officials the illusion that humans are stronger than robots." The Superhero Inauguration Act will take effect later this month and will be implemented in all states and districts across the country for three months.
Over time, superheroes who wish to remain anonymous will be able to have simulated information accounts on the official website, receive a fixed bank income, and undertake missions with bounties. These features, proposed and modified by Stark, will fully protect the current situation of superheroes who wish to maintain their identities, allowing society to begin accepting superheroes as detectives, and transforming them into something akin to private detectives, so that superheroes are no longer just seen as volunteers.
This is the most explosive topic in the United States this year. Ever since Xu Fu declared to the public that superheroes have human rights, refused to help others for free, and demanded money for paid acts, the debate about right and wrong has never stopped. Driven by Stark and various media forces, the topic of whether superheroes should help others for free has been pushed to a climax. People suddenly began to realize that people with superpowers are no different from superstars in the entertainment industry. They also have human emotions, they also need their own living space, and they also need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.
Making superheroes a professional entity is actually more important than making them more relatable to the public. How to make citizens identify with these extraordinary individuals—mercenaries, life, restlessness, and being subject to the same laws—is crucial. As things stand, Stark has done a pretty good job of controlling public opinion.

"This is a great development. At least when this kind of work becomes the norm, the world's bad and good people will be completely equal, and bad people can also become superheroes. In fact, it's much faster to make money as a good person than to sit on the bad side of yourself."
"what..."
Xu Fu explained this to Jason Statham with a touch of melancholy, but Jason Statham only smiled wryly. He didn't agree with Xu Fu's views on superheroes because Jason Statham also had his own idol, Captain America, whom he considered the greatest hero. However, for some reason, Xu Fu was suppressing Jason Statham's feelings; Captain America's number hadn't been deleted and he still received a monthly stipend of $250. However, Captain America's identity and the rights to this information were sold to Disney by the American military as part of their legacy...
0 .... ...
With merchandise related to Captain America—anime, movies, operas, T-shirts, sneakers—I don't know how much money he's made over the past sixty years, but Captain America himself hasn't lost a single penny. Disney's collaborations with the military, tax payments, and profit sharing are all based on volume. But is this really the fate a hero should have?
“Alright, let’s put this matter aside for now. I’m going to Egypt to find Sam; that kid is still very valuable. Let’s discuss another topic in detail.”
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing about superheroes again, Xu Fu steered the conversation in another direction, asking again, "Sam doesn't mind going to see what the boy is still doing. He's curious about what Jason Statham has missed." After a moment of silence, he said...
About a month ago, a terrorist named Goliath attacked a genetic research institute in Germany. However, this research institute seemed to only be used for animal research. Although it caused great damage, it did not explain much to the public because the stolen items seemed harmless. Three days after the attack, surveillance footage from Hamburg's shopping district showed Pym Hank and two vampires making a deal with him.
Another week passed, and Pym-Hank returned to America, spent three or four sweet days with Janet, and then disappeared again. I haven't investigated his reappearance since then; he seems to have vanished into thin air.
Chapter 554 Do you know what I mean?
Goliath is a legendary giant, a symbol of terrifying power. He vaguely remembered that the first Goliath seemed to be Pym Hank himself, but why did he need all this? Xu Fu truly didn't understand. A gifted scientist and a young, beautiful mistress, one of the richest men in the world—how could Pym Hank not be happy? It was his pride and male chauvinism. Are pride and male chauvinism really that important?
"You can't even imagine what he's going to do!"
When asked about Jason Statham's target, the other party shook his head. He had also looked into the matter thoroughly, but the special forces had not been established for long enough, and there was only one file with no more information to fill in. He knew almost nothing about Pym Hank.
“There is absolutely no clue about ‘073’. This person is also a mystery in our special forces’ information reporting files. He is only half a rank lower than you.”
"Do you think so highly of me?"
"You are at the top of the danger list, and he is second in line. If given the chance, both of you should be targets for humane extermination!"
Not a very good review. Jason Statham's rift made Xu Fu awkwardly rub his nose. This SWAT officer seemed to want to target him more than S.H.I.E.L.D. How to put it, Xu Fu was a little numb. Whenever someone claimed to be the epitome of justice, it seemed like he wanted to step on him to rise to the top. It was as if in the eyes of these saints, he was just their stepping stone. By crushing him, they could evolve again.
Looking at Jason Statham sitting on the other chair, Xu Fu composed himself. He didn't know how to continue the conversation. The relationship between the partners and friends had begun to change. Jason Statham had started his own life agency again. It was impossible for him to maintain a pure friendship. There must be a conspiracy. However, Xu Fu really didn't want to speculate about Jason Statham's actions. Secondly, they were just unlucky to be born at the wrong time. They didn't deserve to end like this.
“They wanted vibranium from you, but I refused their orders, Xu Fu. I know how dangerous you are, and I know how tough you are. You only act according to your own feelings, and you don’t care about evaluating or judging others, or even listening to anyone’s advice. Xu Fu, the SWAT team is an organization that truly protects all of humanity. Do you know what I mean?”
Jason Statham looked intently at Xu Fu, seemingly sensing some of Xu Fu's thoughts. Special forces were established specifically to combat dangerous organizations emerging in various countries and to mobilize elites from developed nations to unite against evil forces. Although it had been established for less than a year, the actions taken against Xu Fu worried Jason Statham. He was genuinely concerned that Xu Fu might be experiencing a stroke. He took the blame for the special forces; he had the capability, not that Xu Fu was beyond his control.
"If people don't offend me, I won't be offended!"

"what...."
In a secluded village on the edge of the Sahara Desert, Sam screamed as he ran back and forth along a narrow road. Behind him, a giant scorpion burst from the ground and then darted back in like a fish. A bumblebee tried to protect Sam as he fled, but was pinned to the ground by a red spider that fell from the sky.
"Bumblebee!"
Suddenly, they switched to another dimension, transporting Sam from his home to Egypt. Then, a teleportation filter appeared, and Bumblebee and the werewolf appeared one after another. The battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots, no longer obstructed by the tall buildings, raged before Sam's eyes, filled with murderous intent.
The Decepticons were more powerful than the Autobots. Under two days of relentless Autobot attacks, even Ironhide was killed, buried by a desert storm. A robot capable of transforming into an F-22 was indeed as ferocious as his boss, Megatron. Starscream, who was generally considered cowardly, easily killed more than five Autobots, while Ironhide also met a tragic end at the hands of his opponent.
"Sam!"
This war was a brutal struggle for survival from the very beginning. Just as his master believed, the planet before them was perfectly suited for the Cybertronians' first impact; its burning core could burn for at least another hundred million years, enough to allow his master to continue ruling the universe.
"Don't kill him!"
Starscream severed Bumblebee's arm, and Bumblebee smashed Starscream's left leg, slamming the two to the ground. The Fallen stepped forward, his speed and strength overwhelming the heavily injured Bumblebee. A few spears pierced Bumblebee's chest, but fortunately, the robot remained silent. The central processing unit had been moved to the human's heart, and Bumblebee was not yet killed.
Sam emerged from behind the low wall, his hands raised. He couldn't bear to see Bumblebee die in front of him, his first sports car, his best friend. Sam feared death, but he feared his brother dying in front of him even more. Some desperate compromise was all he could do.
