Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

"What? You're saying that not only can Richard not get through on the phone, but even the signal has disappeared?"

Just above the cliff, a huge transport helicopter was slowly landing. A man with sparse hair sitting in the crew cabin looked incredulous after hearing the pilot's report.

"Is there something dangerous below the cliff?"

The man did not suspect that Richard had smashed his phone on purpose to avoid them.

In his opinion, although Richard's concern for his family obviously outweighs this important job, overall, Richard is still a kind person with a strong sense of justice.

Besides, in terms of personal friendship, he also has a good relationship with Richard, and they still maintain a good level of trust even in this situation.

"Prepare for a rappel, bring your weapons, and be ready for emergencies at any time."

The man gave the order, and the soldiers around him, who had already put on various equipment, nodded and began to hang ropes on their combat uniforms.

The man himself did not wear such complicated equipment, still wearing a standard black suit. Don't be fooled by the thinness of this suit, but in terms of bulletproof ability, it is not much worse than the bulletproof vests of other soldiers.

This is a material developed during World War II. Although its resistance to cutting by sharp weapons is almost zero, its bulletproof performance is very good.

The group quickly completed the rappel and landed at the bottom of the cliff.

"There are traces of high temperature scorching, and the surrounding rocks have all been deteriorated. Could it be that some strange power has descended upon the earth?"

At this moment, he recalled the mission he and the director had experienced. Those people who could fly into the sky and hide in the ground are still unforgettable to him.

Could it be that another weirdo like that has appeared on Earth and has already attacked Richard?

At this time, he also found Richard's broken cell phone, and his face suddenly became anxious.

"Immediately, start a carpet search!"

"Yes sir!!"

The soldiers immediately began a quick search at the bottom of the cliff. The man himself was not idle either. He began to walk around and observe any possible clues around him.

At this time, Richard was hiding in the rubble holding Clark, who was still in a coma.

Richard also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the man leading the team.

"It's Coulson. Fortunately, he's not a troublesome character."

This person is his good friend, so at least he won't be hunted down because of what happens next.

But this does not mean that Richard can rest assured, because although Coulson has a good personality and is also his friend, his own abilities are very worthy of recognition. It is almost impossible to leave quietly under his nose.

Sure enough, just as Richard was thinking this, Coulson also discovered the abnormality of the pile of rubble.

"Could it be..."

Staying alert, Coulson took out his pistol from his waist and began to approach the pile of rubble step by step. The other soldiers had already searched far away, so Coulson did not notify them to come over immediately.

"Richard, are you hiding in there?"

At this moment, Richard held his breath and watched Coulson approaching him step by step through the tiny gaps between the rubble.

Although he was touched that his workplace friend did not shoot and empty the magazine immediately because he was worried that he was hiding in the gun, Richard still wanted to say sorry to this friend.

"It's now..."

When Richard noticed that Coulson was close enough, he stood up from the rubble suddenly, startled Coulson, and rushed forward to grab his hand holding the pistol.

"Richard, how come..."

Coulson was surprised by Richard's appearance, but more importantly, he was puzzled by why Richard attacked him.

But before he could say anything, Richard hit Coulson hard in the face with his head.

"what!!"

This blow almost broke Coulson's nose. Seeing this, Richard felt guilty, but no matter what, he could not expose his nephew to the eyes of this organization.

At least not yet.

"Sorry Coulson, I'll buy you a drink when I get a chance."

Without giving Coulson time to react, after repelling the opponent, Richard continued to move forward quickly and hit Coulson on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.

All this happened very quickly. Although it was not as fast as the battles between Kryptonians in the DC world, for ordinary people, this kind of battle could be said to be very clean and neat.

After doing all this, Richard picked up Clark again and walked to the rope he used to come down.

Richard couldn't help but sigh as he tied Clark behind his back with another rope.

"I don't know what happened during this period of time. You have lost so much weight. But now that you are back, I don't have to worry about anything."

Thinking of this, Richard carried Clark on his back and climbed up the cliff along the rope. Before the soldiers, Coulson and others could react, he drove away.

When Richard started the car, Coulson slowly woke up at the call of the soldiers who realized something was wrong and returned.

"Damn it... such a cruel move..."

Coulson naturally would not lose his memory, nor would he doubt his memory. The person who attacked him was definitely Richard.

"But why? What on earth is it that Richard must avoid me?"

It's hard to understand. Although Coulson saw Richard and confirmed that Richard attacked him, due to Richard's sudden attack and deliberate protection, he didn't notice Clark at all, and didn't connect this incident with Richard's missing nephew.

"Sir, do we need to pursue him immediately? We have received intelligence and confirmed that he is now driving away from here."

The soldier reminded, and Coulson was also thinking about this question, but in the end, he shook his head.

"No, Richard has already left. We have obtained the identity and cannot pursue Richard in a high-profile manner under such circumstances."

This sentence not only shows Coulson's final trust in his friend, but is also a statement of fact.

Since Richard started running the company in partnership with his brother two years ago, he has become less and less concerned about the organization's mission.

Not only did they firmly prevent the organization from spreading its influence to their Parker Biotechnology Company, they also turned down most of the missions. Even the original mission to lurk in the Austen Group was directly abandoned.

Sometimes, Coulson felt a little envious of Richard, envious of how he had been able to successfully retire from their profession two years ago with his wisdom and accumulated resources.

Now, he is already a successful entrepreneur, and his influence is much stronger than theirs. Many of his products have even begun to connect with the military. In this situation, even if his director wanted to do something, it would be completely impossible.

"Pack up the team and return to Washington. I need to report the situation to the director in person."
