章節 106: More Shares?
"Let's go."
Zane released his grip on Tony's collar. Zane was already 188cm tall, and without lifting Tony up, he couldn't see his eyes. Although his actions seemed rough, there was no room for fussiness between grown men.
Zane wouldn't admit it, but he had just recorded the scene of him lifting Tony. The person behind the camera was none other than the surveillance camera controlled by Skynet.
As Tony staggered into the ruined villa with Zane and Lorna, they saw Pepper's body lying in the center of the living room.
Tony rushed over immediately, embracing her body, which was gradually losing its warmth. Pepper looked peaceful, as if she were just sleeping, but the large purple bruise on her neck and the motionless chest indicated the cruel reality.
Lorna gently tugged at Zane's sleeve, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Zane, can Pepper really be revived?"
"Of course!"
Zane squeezed Lorna's hand, signaling her to relax.
Then he walked to Pepper's body, squatting down, and placed his hand over her.
"In my name, I, Zane, bestow upon you new life. Arise."
Different from the resurrection of Magneto's wife and daughter five years ago, this time Zane had awakened the power of death. It was as if he was born with the power to command death.
Zane could clearly feel a cold wind blowing through the ruins as he spoke, and Pepper's lingering soul slowly gathered.
But that was it. Zane, who had just gained his divine power, couldn't bring someone back to life instantly. However, he saw the possibility.
Next, Zane activated his S-rank skill, [Death River].
A white light flew out from Zane's body, then directly entered Pepper's body.
Just like five years ago, Pepper's broken neck began to straighten automatically, and the bruising around her neck quickly disappeared. In Zane's vision, Pepper's lingering soul was rapidly completed by some inexplicable force, then merged with her fully restored body.
At the moment when the soul and body merged perfectly, Pepper's heart began to beat again, and her eyes slowly opened.
As she had just been resurrected, her memories were still stuck in the moment before her death. So, upon waking up, she looked affectionately at Tony, who was already overwhelmed by the sudden surprise, and spoke the three words she hadn't finished earlier.
"Tony, I love you!"
Tony, overwhelmed with joy at having her back, hugged Pepper tightly. The tears that had been held back welled up again, but this time they were tears of joy.
"I love you too, I love you too..." Tony, who didn't know what else to say, just held Pepper tightly, feeling her warmth that could warm his body and soul. He mechanically repeated, 'I love you too.'
Pepper, though unsure why she hadn't died, still hugged Tony tightly, feeling the love from this man who had finally expressed his feelings.
Meanwhile, Zane stood by, unromantically capturing this touching moment with his phone.
Well, mostly he captured Tony's dumbfounded expression, which was quite amusing. He believed that showing it to him later would be quite funny.
Alright, actually, Zane's mischievous side was acting up again.
But that was it. Zane didn't do anything else to disturb the emotional embrace of the two reunited lovers. Reuniting after loss was always touching.
Moreover, Zane wasn't completely wasting his time this time. After carefully observing the process of Pepper's resurrection, Zane gained a deeper understanding of the concept of death.
The result was that the conversion speed of his death divine power increased. It was estimated that it would only take two years to complete the conversion now. Originally, after adding the faith power of ten million newly joined spirits, Zane estimated that it would take five years to complete the conversion. Now, the efficiency had more than doubled, which was quite a substantial gain.
At this moment, Lorna slowly walked up to Zane, taking his arm. Women were always sentimental, and watching such a touching scene inevitably stirred emotions.
"Zane, if I die like Pepper..."
Before she could finish, Zane put his finger to Lorna's lips, stopping her from speaking further.
"It won't happen. I absolutely won't allow it," Zane said firmly.
"Mm-hmm." Lorna sweetly nodded, leaning her head on Zane's shoulder.
Although her boyfriend didn't say sweet words, the profound sense of security, like a great mountain, made Lorna feel more touched and intoxicated.
Of course, Lorna couldn't help but reward Zane for his satisfying answer. She tiptoed and whispered softly in Zane's ear:
"Dear, I bought a special outfit. Let's try it at home!"
The moment he heard this, Zane's heart trembled, and the gleam in his eyes could blind anyone. However, he still had to maintain a calm appearance.
Although he had already begun to fantasize about Lorna in nurse uniforms, bunny suits, and other seductive outfits, he remembered his girlfriend's long, slender legs wrapping around him, and, well, that feeling...
He couldn't think about it anymore, or he'd be censored.
Finally, Zane replied casually:
"Okay!"
Heh, men!
And when Lorna saw Zane's reaction, she also revealed a cunning smile, like a little fox who had stolen something delicious. At the same time, she secretly thought that Pepper was right; men always needed freshness.
Zane and Lorna waited on the sidelines for a while until Tony and Pepper finished venting their emotions.
Finally, Tony clumsily comforted Pepper a bit, then stood up and walked to Zane, opening his arms for a hug.
But instead of the hug Tony imagined, he received Zane's big foot.
Zane kicked Tony aside with one foot.
"What's the point of all this useless stuff? It's better to do something practical, like transferring more shares to me," Zane said disdainfully.
Tony, who was kicked aside by Zane, didn't mind. He looked at Zane with unprecedented seriousness.
"Thank you!"
"Does that mean you agree to give me your shares?"
"No way!"
"You ungrateful guy."
"You Chicken."
"You little dwarf!"
Tony: "..."
Pepper and Lorna, on the other hand, looked bewildered as they watched the previously harmonious two men, wondering why they were suddenly quarreling.
