186. The Master of the World.

In the end, old Barton couldn't bring himself to kill Melissa. Maybe letting her continue living, continuing to bear those pains, is the greatest punishment for her?

Old Barton thought to himself, but the real reason he didn't strike—only Barton himself knew.

As Hawkeye was about to leave, Melissa pulled out a map from her pocket. It was something she had specifically prepared for old Barton. She knew what Clint wanted was revenge, and even though he had spared her, that didn't mean he would spare others.

This map was from Moonstone and marked the community that Moonstone had established in the north. A few months ago, Moonstone had invited Melissa, hoping her old teammate could help establish the community. However, Melissa refused. She had long since withdrawn from worldly affairs. Now, living in this world was nothing more than an attempt to atone for her past sins.

Now, handing the map over to Barton, Melissa finally felt like she had done something 'good.'

She requested Hawkeye to take her along. If he didn't want to kill her, then her redemption would have no meaning. Melissa knew that Barton's journey wouldn't be easy, and even if Moonstone was dealt with, killing Baron Zemo wouldn't be simple. So, this time, Melissa decided to no longer remain silent.

"Are you really handing over Osborn City to the Blood Baron?"

Sitting in an armored off-road vehicle, Ashley finally couldn't hold back and asked Alex her question.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

"I thought you were planning to stay silent forever."

Alex chuckled. Two days had passed since they set off, and Ashley had remained silent the entire time. If she didn't speak soon, Alex would have thought she had been scared out of her mind. After a pause, Alex replied.

"Trust is essential. John might not be a big player, but he's very clear about the outcomes from different perspectives. I believe he'll handle everything well."

After a pause, Alex tilted his head, glanced at the map, and asked, "Venom, are you sure we're on the right path? Why is the navigation showing that we've entered the Master of the World's territory?"

"Yes, sir, we're on the right path. Moonstone's sanctuary is on the Canadian border. This is the quickest route to get there."

Venom emerged from Ashley's shoulder, extending its body from the backseat to where Alex was driving, looking at the map as it spoke.

"You should've said something earlier." Alex frowned but didn't say much more.

"To be honest, sir, I'm not very familiar with this area. I really don't know when the Master of the World's territory expanded here," Venom said, a bit troubled.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. It just feels a bit troublesome." Alex sighed quietly.

"Master of the World? Who is that?"

Kara and Pietro had never heard of the name before. Seeing Alex's somewhat exasperated expression, Kara couldn't help but voice her curiosity, which also caught Pietro's attention. Even Ashley turned her gaze toward Alex.

"The Master of the World, huh? An ancient being who has lived for forty thousand years, a product of alien technology modification. Advanced technology replaced his original body, greatly extending his lifespan, allowing him to live until now," Alex explained after thinking for a moment.

"He considers himself the ruler of this world and goes by the title 'Master of the World.' He was once the nemesis of the Alpha Flight. The annihilation of the Alpha Flight and the fall of Atlantis during the Old War were both his doing."
