Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 170 Strange Visitors

What is a hero?Is it selfless dedication?Is it dangerous to stand in front of others?Is it the courage to face death?still. . . .It's just a meaningless word!
The streets of New York are still calm, the surface is so, but there is an undercurrent surging behind it.This might be the calm before the storm.

Reaching out to pick up the newspaper that was randomly thrown on the ground by others, Yan frowned involuntarily.Avengers are a high-stakes profession, and their jobs face death at all times.The contents of this newspaper are about the Avengers.There are good and bad, and this is not a good phenomenon.

Hospital
"Peggy...I'm here to see you." Yan pushed open the door of the ward, letting go of his unhappiness for the time being.

The ward was very quiet, and the old man was not lying on the bed.Peggy Carter sat in a chair by the window, looking at the sunny sky and the crowd in the distance.

"You're here... pity!" Peggy's voice was hoarse, but very calm.

"What are you thinking about?" Yan walked in and asked in a low voice, the voice was very soft and soothing, for fear of disturbing the tranquility.She could see that Peggy's body was full of decay, and death was about to fall on this old man.

"I'm thinking about everything..." Carter's voice remained the same, but suddenly changed his tone after speaking, and said with a wry smile, "You know, people always think about it when they are old, especially at the last moment."

Yan opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand quietly beside her, admiring the scenery with her.

"They're in trouble, aren't they?"

Peggy Carter spoke suddenly, making Yan slightly dazed.

Nightmare turned around in surprise, only seeing Carter's side face. "You know...? Sorry, I didn't mean not to tell you."

Carter smiled and handed over a newspaper, the same as Yan picked up, "Heroes are sometimes very popular, especially young people. There are many fans of heroes in the hospital."

"Where there is light, there will be darkness, isn't it!" Yan sighed.

"You're right. But...you didn't." Carter finally turned his head and looked over with cloudy eyes.Although the eyes are cloudy, they are very wise.

"What?" Yan was a little puzzled, "What does this have to do with me...?"

"You are not a hero, so there is no right or wrong for you."

Yan was silent when he heard the words, Carter was right, she was different from Steve. "You knew this was going to happen?"

"That's right, a long time ago, and this kind of thing didn't just happen to the Avengers." Carter still stared at Yan's pretty face for a long time.

"So, is there any way?" Nightmare asked.

"No way, they can't get rid of it." Carter shook his head and sighed helplessly, "The only ones who can untie this knot are themselves."

"That's really troublesome!" Yan lowered his head in thought, then shook his head.Even so, he didn't hear any worry from the voice.

The two stopped talking and just looked into the distance, and the ward fell into silence again.

. . . . . .

In the morning when there is nothing to do, Yan will not get up very early, and it is probably near noon that he will dawdle out of the bed, wash up and go downstairs in a daze, so that he can be regarded as awake.

Drink a cup of hot water and sit in a chair in a daze.At this time, she will feel that she is out of tune with this world.

"Hic..."

The sound of the door opening seemed a bit harsh on this resting noon, Nightmare looked over suspiciously, and she remembered that the sign outside the door read: Closed.

It's an old man, a very capable old man, with an obvious aura of the upper class in society.

"Did the old man enter the wrong door? There is a sign outside." Yan's calm voice could not detect any emotion.

"That's right, it's indeed here, dear angel." The old man bowed slightly and smiled, making himself look very kind.

"Oh...!" Yan elongated his voice, not going to speak, but just looking at the other party.

"Won't you invite me to sit?"

"This place is closed today. If you have anything to say, you'd better hurry up and then... go out." Yan put down the cup and supported his head with his hands.

"Okay! I'm the Secretary of State. I'm here to discuss with you about the Avengers." The Secretary of State handed over a document while speaking.

Yan grasped through the void, and the document escaped from the opponent's hand and flew over.

The quiet first floor of the bookstore fell into silence after the simple words of the Secretary of State, only the sound of Yan leisurely turning the papers.

After a long time, Yan put down the document, put it on the table, and looked up at the Secretary of State who was still standing.

"A binding bill!" Yan Qingqing's cold voice slowly remembered. "Restrain who?"

"Some heroes who rely on their strength and don't care about the lives of ordinary people. For example, the Avengers." The Secretary of State's voice was still calm.

"I'm also an avenger, will you also restrain me?" Yan heard the words and looked at the other party with a half-smile.

"No, you're not in," the Secretary of State denied.

"Oh?" Yan was a little surprised, "Then why did you come to see me?"

"Just wanted your opinion on this bill."

Yan heard the words and did not speak, but looked at the other party firmly, "Mr. Secretary of State, only the weak can be restrained, and the strong can only make people fearful. You should be very clear about this..."

"..."

"You don't need to ask me about this bill, I'm not interested in your affairs. As for Steve and the others...!" Yan was not ready to let the other party answer, "That's their own choice. Of course there is one thing, that is: Don't bother me."

The Secretary of State listened to Yan's words in a daze, but didn't say anything.As Yan said, the weak have no right to speak, and they are all weak in front of Yan.The Secretary of State is well aware that this Angel is not the same as the other Avengers and cannot be treated as such.

Standing in front of the window, watching the Secretary of State's car driving slowly into the distance, Yan couldn't relax.

"Why, no confidence in your team?" Xi's voice suddenly came from his mind.

"No, I have great confidence in them. It's just..." Yan hesitated.

"This is a test, isn't it?"

"It's not scary if the enemy comes from the outside, what's terrible is being disintegrated by the enemy from the inside." Nightmare murmured.

"If they are defeated so easily, it means that the Avengers Alliance is not very strong."

"I think so...!" Nightmare nodded.

"You can't protect them all the time like a nanny, you have to let them grow on their own. Besides...!" Xi imitated Yan's tone.

"what?"

"Besides, our troubles are not far away."

"Oh yes, that feeling is getting closer. Maybe tomorrow...!"
