I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 120 Reunion and Choice

Daniel and his father John are standing on the temple's training ground, surrounded by towering pine trees and falling snow. This is the sacred land of Kunlun, where the heirs of the Iron Fist have trained for generations, pursuing the ultimate martial arts and spiritual power. However, this father and son are facing a huge challenge.

Daniel stood in the middle of the training ground, panting, with beads of sweat on his forehead. His father John stood by with a frown on his face, obviously not satisfied with his son's performance.

"Daniel, you're too slow," John said sternly, "You need to be more focused. Kunlun's martial arts are no joke."

Daniel took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "I'm trying my best, Father," he whispered, "but I don't think I can master these techniques."

John's face became even gloomier. "Try your best? Trying your best is not enough, Daniel. As the heir of the Iron Fist, you must surpass your limits and reach unprecedented heights. You know that our family's position in Kunlun is already precarious. If we cannot prove ourselves, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this time, the elders of Kunlun came from the other side of the training ground. Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, and they seemed to be able to see through everything. The leader was Elder Baimei, who was the highest authority in Kunlun and controlled everything here.

"John, Daniel," the White-browed Elder said, his voice as thunderous as thunder, "how is your training going?"

John lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Elder White Eyebrow, we are still working hard, but the progress is not as good as expected."

Elder White Eyebrow turned his gaze to Daniel, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Daniel, do you know the meaning of being the successor of the Iron Fist? This is not only the inheritance of martial arts, but also the inheritance of spirit. You must prove yourself and prove that you are worthy of this title."

Daniel felt a surge of pressure, knowing that he had to respond to the elders' expectations. "I understand, elder. I will continue to work hard and live up to Kunlun's expectations."

However, Elder White Eyebrow was not satisfied with this answer. "Effort is not enough, Daniel. What you need is determination and perseverance. Kunlun's enemies will not show mercy because of your efforts. You must become stronger."

John looked at his son, his heart full of contradictions. He hoped that Daniel would succeed, but he was also worried that he could not bear such great pressure. “Elder White Eyebrow, please give us some time, we will prove ourselves.”

Elder Baimei nodded, but there was still doubt in his eyes. "Time is limited, John Kunlun can't wait too long. I hope you can find a way to break through as soon as possible."

After the elders left, Daniel and John stood on the training ground, the atmosphere was heavy. Daniel felt overwhelmed, he knew what his father and Kunlun expected of him, but could he really do it?

“Father, can I really become the powerful Iron Fist?” Daniel asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

John sighed and patted his son on the shoulder. "Daniel, I believe you can do it. You are my son and the hope of Kunlun. If we work together, we will definitely find a solution."

Daniel nodded, determination burning in his heart. He knew he couldn't give up and had to fight for his father and Kunlun.

In the next few months, Daniel and John trained day and night. They tried various methods to try to break their own limits. However, progress was still slow, and Daniel began to waver.

One night, Daniel sat alone on the roof of the temple, looking at the starry sky. His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. Could he really become the powerful Iron Fist? Could he shoulder this heavy responsibility?

At this time, a figure quietly appeared behind him. It was his friend and senior brother, Li Tianxiang.

"Daniel, what are you thinking about?" Li Tianxiang asked with concern in his tone.

Daniel turned his head and looked at Li Tianxiang, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. "Tianxiang, I don't know if I can do it. I feel like I've been standing still and can't break through."

Li Tianxiang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Daniel, everyone has their own difficulties, but the important thing is not to give up. You have great potential, but you just haven't found the right way yet."

Daniel smiled bitterly. "But time waits for no one. Kunlun's expectations are overwhelming me."

Li Tianxiang nodded, understanding his feelings. "I know it's stressful, but you're not alone. We are all part of Kunlun, and we will face these challenges together."

Daniel looked at Li Tianxiang gratefully, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. "Thank you, Tianxiang. I will continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations."

The next day, Daniel and John came to the training ground again. This time, they decided to try a new training method that combined Kunlun's traditional martial arts with modern scientific training.

"Daniel, we need to find a balance," John said, "Kun Lun's martial arts are the source of our strength, but modern science can also help us break through our limits."

Daniel nodded and began to practice according to the new training plan. He felt his body gradually adapting to the new rhythm, and his strength and speed also improved.

A few weeks later, Elder White Eyebrows came to the training ground again to observe their progress. This time, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“John, Daniel, your progress is remarkable,” said the White-browed Elder, with approval in his tone, “It seems that you have found the right direction.”

John smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Elder. We will continue to work hard and strive to achieve our desired goal as soon as possible."

Shang Qi stood in front of Daniel's door, with mixed emotions in his heart. They hadn't seen each other for several years, and although they had kept in touch, face-to-face communication was another matter. He took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.

The door was soon opened, and Daniel stood at the door with a warm smile on his face. "Shang Qi! You are finally here!" He opened his arms and gave Shang Qi a tight hug.

"Daniel, long time no see." Shang Qi patted him on the back, feeling his warmth and strength.

They walked into Daniel's apartment. The simple yet warm decoration made Shang Qi feel familiar and at ease. Daniel poured him a cup of coffee and invited him to sit on the sofa.

"How are you doing in the United States?" Shang Qi asked, his eyes sweeping over the various furnishings in the room.

"Not bad," Daniel smiled, "The salary at SHIELD is even higher than that at S.H.I.E.L.D." There was a hint of pride in his tone, but more of helplessness.

"Then why did you come back?" Shang Qi went straight to the point. He knew that Daniel would not leave SHIELD easily.

Daniel's smile gradually faded, and a gloomy look appeared on his face. "My father's legacy," he whispered, "He devoted his entire life to the research and development of ultra-high-speed railways. I can't let his efforts go to waste."

Shang Qi nodded and looked at him with understanding. "I understand. This must be very important to you."

"Yes," Daniel sighed, "but this also means that I have to give up everything in SHIELD and return to the United States to face those complicated situations and endless challenges."

"You don't have to bear this alone," Shang Qi held Daniel's hand and said firmly, "We are friends, and I will always support you."

Daniel looked at him gratefully, tears in his eyes. "Thank you, Shang Qi. Your support means a lot to me."

At this time, the doorbell rang again. Daniel walked over to open the door, and a tall and burly man walked in with an anxious look on his face.

"Jack, why are you here?" Daniel was a little surprised.

"Daniel, we are in trouble," Jack said directly, "There is a problem with the funding of the railway project. The investor suddenly withdrew the capital. We need to find a new source of funds immediately."

Daniel's face became solemn, and he looked at Shang Qi, his eyes full of helplessness and anxiety.

“That’s what I call a complex situation,” he said with a wry smile. “Every step is full of challenges.”

Shang Qi stood up and patted Daniel on the shoulder. "Let's face it together. Don't give up."

Daniel took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, let's work together."

The three of them sat together and began to discuss solutions. Shang Qi made some suggestions and Jack also shared his ideas. After a heated discussion, they finally came up with a preliminary plan.

“We need to contact more investors and demonstrate the potential and prospects of this project,” Shang Qi concluded. “Only in this way can we attract new funds.”

Daniel nodded, and the flame of hope rekindled in his eyes. "Okay, let's take action immediately."

At this moment, Daniel's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression suddenly became more solemn.

"It's SHIELD," he whispered, "I have to take this call."

Shang Qi and Jack looked at each other and nodded silently. Daniel walked aside and answered the phone.

"Daniel, this is Phil Coulson," a steady voice came from the other end of the line, "We need you to return to S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately. There is an urgent mission."

Daniel's heart sank suddenly, he knew what this meant. SHIELD's emergency missions were never trivial.

"I understand," he replied quietly, "but I have something very important to take care of right now. Can you please delay it for a while?"

"I'm afraid not." Coulson's voice was still calm, but with unquestionable firmness, "This mission is related to global security. We need you."

Daniel closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked at Shang Qi and Jack, his eyes full of pain and struggle.

"I need time to think about it," he said finally. "Give me a few hours, please."

"Okay, but please get back to us," Coulson said and hung up.

Daniel put down his phone and sighed heavily. "S.H.I.E.L.D. needs me, but I can't give up this project."

Shang Qi walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently. "You have to make a choice, Daniel. Whatever you choose, we will support you."

Jack also nodded and said firmly: "Whether you decide to stay or go back, we will understand."

Daniel looked at them gratefully, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. "Thank you, I need a moment."

He walked to the window and looked at the city outside, his heart full of contradictions and pain. He knew that no matter which path he chose, he would face huge challenges and sacrifices.

"Daniel," Shang Qi's voice broke the silence, "whatever you choose, we will be by your side."

Daniel turned around, his eyes flashing with determination. "Thank you, I've made up my mind."

He walked back to Shang Qi and Jack and took a deep breath. "I will continue my father's legacy and complete the ultra-high-speed rail project. But I will also try my best to help SHIELD, do whatever I can."

Shang Qi and Jack looked at each other and smiled with relief. "We believe in you, Daniel," Shang Qi said, "You can do it."

"Yes," Jack nodded in agreement, "Let's work together."

Daniel looked at them with gratitude, his heart filled with strength and hope. He knew that no matter how difficult the future would be, he would never be alone again, because he had these trustworthy friends by his side.

"Okay, let's start now," Daniel said, "Time waits for no one, we must seize every minute and every second."
