Chapter 289: Chapter 288
Armament Haki!
Activate!
Instantly, Chen Ye's body became as hard as steel.
**Bang!**
Almost immediately after Chen Ye activated his Armament Haki, the sound of an impact echoed.
Chen Ye couldn't help but step back a couple of steps, his head tilting slightly to the right.
He hadn't seen what happened, but he knew that Quicksilver must have punched his left cheek.
The force of the punch was not insignificant.
It was entirely caused by Quicksilver's incredible speed.
However!
With just this amount of strength, trying to break through Chen Ye's defense was a long shot.
After taking the punch, Chen Ye easily steadied himself.
As for Quicksilver, he was clutching his right hand with his left, hopping around in place and sucking in cold air through his teeth.
That punch just now felt like hitting a block of steel, not a human!
Quicksilver looked at Chen Ye in horror. "What kind of monster are you?"
Chen Ye gave a faint smile and didn't answer, instead saying, "If your punches are only this strong, I'd advise you to save your energy and surrender now."
"Is that so?"
Quicksilver suddenly disappeared from his spot, leaving behind an afterimage, and then reappeared with an iron rod in his hand.
"Try this!" he shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Quicksilver disappeared again.
At this moment, an invisible force spread out from the ground in all directions.
Quicksilver barely managed a couple of steps before he tripped and fell, yelling as he hit the ground.
**Boom!**
The fall was quite severe, sending up a cloud of dust.
One of Quicksilver's shoulders was scraped raw, stained with blood.
The faster you are, the greater the inertia when you fall!
Seeing Quicksilver in such a pitiful state, Scarlet Witch's face showed a worried expression.
However, due to her loyalty to Chen Ye, she did not make any move.
Chen Ye walked up to Quicksilver.
With a thought, he used telekinesis to lift Quicksilver off the ground.
"Now, will you swear loyalty?" he asked.
Chen Ye saw great potential in Quicksilver.
In the original storyline, Quicksilver had a standout performance, causing trouble for many of the Avengers.
The reason Chen Ye was able to deal with him so easily was that his telekinesis perfectly countered Quicksilver's super speed.
Not everyone has Chen Ye's telekinesis!
Chen Ye thought that if Quicksilver was given a weapon, he could unleash even greater combat power; he had quite a bit of potential.
Floating in front of Chen Ye, Quicksilver felt the force restraining him and his face darkened.
"Pietro, just surrender to the master!" Scarlet Witch urged.
Hearing this, Quicksilver's expression grew even darker.
He was about to say something, but Chen Ye spoke first, his tone cold: "We had a bet. If you refuse to honor it, I will take your life!"
Quicksilver was silent.
In the end, Quicksilver surrendered.
Once he swore loyalty, his attitude towards Chen Ye immediately changed.
"Master!!"
The pact was now in effect.
Quicksilver was now 100% loyal to Chen Ye.
"You have recruited another subordinate. Current mission progress: 2/10!"
Hearing the system prompt, Chen Ye smiled slightly and then turned his gaze to the siblings.
At this moment, the brother and sister stood quietly beside Chen Ye, like his shadows.
"Let's go. We need to visit a hospital to take care of Pietro's wounds."
Upon hearing this, Scarlet Witch's face showed a hint of gratitude.
They were absolutely loyal to Chen Ye, but they were not mindless puppets—they still had their own thoughts.
...
When Chen Ye returned to New York, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled into Queens, New York.
Inside the Rolls-Royce sat three people: Chen Ye and the Maximoff siblings.
Chen Ye and Scarlet Witch sat in the back, while Quicksilver was in the driver's seat.
This Rolls-Royce was, of course, another Transformer created by Chen Ye using the AllSpark.
In its transformed state, it stood 7 meters tall, much taller than Hurricane.
Chen Ye, being lazy, simply named it "Phantom."
As for the sports car "Hurricane," Chen Ye had left it in some garage.
Sports cars may have great driving dynamics, but they're not comfortable for long rides...
"Master, why are we here?" Scarlet Witch, sitting next to Chen Ye, asked curiously.
"We're looking for someone!" Chen Ye replied with a smile before giving a command: "Phantom, hack into the network. I need to find someone named 'Peter Parker.'"
A few seconds later, a deep electronic voice echoed from the Rolls-Royce's speakers:
"Master, there are 1,137 results for 'Peter Parker!'"
Chen Ye was stunned.
So many people had the same name as Spider-Man?
"Phantom, narrow down the search. I'm looking for a high school student living in Queens."
Following Chen Ye's command, the rear screen of the Rolls-Royce Phantom displayed a profile.
"Found one matching the criteria… Peter Parker, 17 years old, living in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. Currently a student at XX High School. His legal guardian is his aunt, 'May Parker.'"
Seeing the profile on the screen, Chen Ye smiled.
"That's him! Is he in class today?"
"Based on surveillance, he is."
"Excellent, let's head straight to his school."
Hearing this, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were a bit confused.
But as it was the master's business, they didn't question it.
...
Soon.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at a high school.
"Sir, who are you here to see?"
Perhaps due to the luxury of the car, the security guard at the gate was extremely polite.
Chen Ye smiled lightly. "Oh, I'm a philanthropist looking to donate ten million dollars to the school to improve the teaching environment."
Upon hearing this, the guard did not dare to delay and immediately informed the principal.
Money talks.
In less than three minutes!
The school principal, accompanied by several teachers, personally came out to greet Chen Ye and invited him to the principal's office for a discussion.
After a brief conversation, Chen Ye easily became an honorary member of the school board.
The kind that doesn't have to do anything but is considered a distinguished guest of the school.
Of course, this was the result of Chen Ye swiping a ten-million-dollar donation.
"Principal, you have a student named Peter Parker. May I meet him? I once worked with his father."
"Of course, no problem!"
Soon.
The principal sent a message for Peter Parker to come to the office.
Sitting in his classroom, Peter Parker was puzzled, thinking he might be in big trouble...
A few minutes later.
Peter Parker arrived at the principal's office.
"Good afternoon, Principal," Peter greeted politely before his eyes involuntarily fell on the three people inside the office.
His Spidey sense was tingling, alerting him that all three were incredibly strong!
Especially the Chinese man sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face.
Extremely dangerous!!
