Mera had already seen the fight between Robert and John Walker from afar. Of course, calling it a fight might be generous, as it was more of a one-sided beating, with John Walker having no chance to fight back...
As a citizen of Xebel, Mera naturally possessed physical strength and powers far beyond those of land-dwelling humans, including water magic. But even in water, she couldn't keep up with Robert's speed, not to mention her current weakened state on land.
Moreover, Mera knew whether it was Jackie Chan who had just helped her, the enigmatic Robert, or the beaten John Walker, they were all here for the horse talisman on her chest. If Jackie Chan hadn't shown enough goodwill towards her, Mera would have already disappeared into the sea...
"Did you resolve your situation?" Robert, aiming one hand at the just-risen John Walker, asked Jackie Chan.
"Resolved..." Jackie Chan glanced at John Walker, lowered his voice, and said, "I suggest letting him go. He seems to be from the military, and quite an important figure at that. If he dies here, it will be troublesome!"
"What do I have to do with military personnel?" Robert shrugged, seemingly indifferent, "Are you saying we should return this handy shield to him? And then respectfully let him leave?"
"Of course, we don't need to return the shield to him; it's now my combat asset. But it's best to let him go if possible. It's an unspoken rule among different departments; there can be conflicts and struggles, but important figures shouldn't be harmed..." Jackie Chan sighed softly and whispered.
"This was specifically mentioned by Blake when he discovered that not only our force was targeting the horse talisman. He said everyone would adhere to these unspoken rules, so if another agent from District 13 gets caught next time, they can also be safely returned..."
"What? There are other agents in District 13 besides you?" Robert looked at Jackie Chan with some surprise, then even more indifferently said, "But, you're from District 13, I'm not. Your unspoken rules have nothing to do with me. I'm just here for the adventure... Hmm? What's that? A mech?"
As Robert spoke, he suddenly felt another presence falling from the sky, similar to John Walker but weaker. When Robert looked up, he saw a mech.
With a "thud!" a loud noise echoed around, shaking the ground slightly, as a colossal mech crashed down.
Robert clearly saw that just before the colossal mech was about to land, it ejected two flames from its feet, seemingly attempting to brake and hover, but unfortunately, the mech was perhaps too heavy and couldn't stop in time...
At first, Robert thought Tony Stark had arrived, but after seeing this maneuver, he was sure this mech came from the same faction as John Walker!
However, Robert also keenly noticed that the material of this mech seemed unusual, possibly the same as the shield in Jackie Chan's hand and the unbreakable suit on John Walker!
"Why are you here?" John Walker, seeing the colossal mech, asked with some displeasure.
"Didn't you request backup? What happened that forced you to call for help?" The mech's voice came through with some mockery, but also cautiousness.
After all, he knew John Walker's strength; aside from external assistance, John Walker was definitely the most capable fighter among the military's super soldiers. If even John Walker was forced to call for backup, he naturally became cautious...
"Be careful, it's that guy called Vegeta, probably from District 13, some monster who can release energy waves with his bare hands, likely a superhuman!" John Walker, despite his dissatisfaction with the mech pilot, quickly provided useful information.
"Seems like this punching bag is a bit more durable!" Robert looked at the colossal mech, rubbed his chin, muttered with some anticipation, then looked up at the sky, "He's here too? It's really lively. Did this talisman attract so much attention?"
"Yo! It's quite lively here. Hey, that big guy over there, did you pay me royalties for imitating my design? And you, beautiful lady, are you the legendary ocean healing goddess? Eh? That guy with the spiky hair, I suggest you change your hairstyle; it reminds me of some unpleasant experiences..." As Robert finished speaking, a teasing voice echoed around, followed by a red mech performing a beautiful arc in the air and landing perfectly on the ground, making a stark contrast with the earlier colossal mech. "Someone about to die, yet still trying to act so cool..." Robert shook his head, mumbling some words to himself.
Last time Clark said Tony Stark hadn't removed the Arc Reactor, Robert said Tony Stark was doomed.
Although Tony Stark has lived longer than Robert predicted, Robert could still sense his mixed to the extreme qi and the decay feeling of his life force nearing its end...
"Huh? You... are you?!" Tony Stark, hearing Robert's words, widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Robert while secretly ordering Jarvis to scan Robert's body.
"This person's body strength far exceeds that of Earthlings, even far surpassing the two super soldiers nearby, but his appearance doesn't seem to be hidden." Jarvis quickly provided information that made Tony Stark hesitant.
"You've lived longer than I expected, especially since you haven't given up on that energy device..." Robert shrugged, looking at Tony Stark and softly said.
"This is my power source..." Tony Stark was momentarily stunned, instinctively speaking, but was interrupted by Robert before he could finish.
"Only what you control, what helps you grow, is your true source of power..." Robert waved his hand, his qi began to burst out, but didn't reach the level of breaking through transformation technique, "You must be here for the horse talisman, Uncle Dragon, take them away, I want to see if I can dismantle this big guy!"
With a "bang!" as Robert's words fell, his figure disappeared from the spot, showing more interest in the colossal mech than in Tony Stark. Following a muffled sound, Robert took several steps back, as did the colossal mech.
But the colossal mech was unscathed! Because it was made of vibranium! Vibranium! Known as one of the hardest materials in the universe!
