Just then, he spotted a crowd ahead in the middle of the road, holding up signs.
"Superheroes get out of New York!"
"We don't need these hypocritical violent freaks!"
"Wanda get out of this city, she's nothing but a devil!"
"She's just using the name of justice to harm everyone recklessly!"
"…"
These people were protesting towards the Avengers base while waving their signs.
"This..."
Hode was momentarily speechless at the scene; it was truly a "simple" reflection of public sentiment.
Not to mention Wanda, just witnessing this scene daily would make anyone's head ache.
Furthermore, these unfortunate individuals were merely blinded by the media.
Both sides are just victims, with the true beneficiaries being the higher-ups.
This is the truth of the world; only by creating conflicts can they maintain their interests.
"Sigh... poor Wanda..."
Hode lowered the volume of the music, and at that moment, his feelings of joy turned slightly melancholic.
After all, he was just a pitiful person, yet he had to endure such humiliation.
Strength?
Despite having power, inside, she was as fragile as an ordinary person.
Buzz~
Just then, Hode's phone vibrated slightly.
[Wanda]: "I'm at the back door."
Upon seeing the message, Hode
quickly turned his car into a nearby side road.
But just a few steps in, a figure suddenly dashed out from the woods
Screech!!!
At this critical moment, Hode slammed on the brakes.
"What's going on?"
He raised his head and frowned, looking ahead.
Wasn't the charm of the Cayenne supposed to be showcased in a little grove?
At that moment, several other figures burst out from the forest.
Among them were both men and women, their faces smeared with white paint.
Without saying a word, they started furiously pounding on the car windows and the hood, baring their teeth at him through the glass.
"What the hell? Are these guys planning to take me hostage or something?!"
Hode stared at the scene, completely baffled and unable to understand what these crazies were up to.
Even in a zombie crisis, it shouldn't be this insane!
"You, get out here! You're one of those Avengers scum!"
"I saw you! You're definitely planning to sneak into the Avengers base from the back!"
"Get that damned bitch Wanda out here, or you're dead meat!"
"Don't think you can escape punishment, you murderers!"
Watching these maniacs, Hode clenched his teeth, his forehead gradually reddening with veins bulging.
"They're really asking for it!"
In his eyes, these people were obviously putting in such effort because they were paid off.
This was clearly a setup from above, intending to pressure the Avengers into a compromise through such means.
He released his seatbelt with a swift motion and rolled up his sleeves.
Just then, his phone vibrated again.
[Wanda]: "Ignore them, back off."
Hode looked at the message, fully aware that Wanda was watching him.
He quickly typed a response and sent it out.
[Hode]: "They should face some consequences!"
The Avengers, for the sake of justice, couldn't make a move, but he was different.
Was he one of the Avengers?
Justice?
Moral coercion?
As long as there was no morality, no one could be coerced.
Hode flung the car door open and stepped out.
His hulking figure instilled a strong sense of intimidation in those people.
"I'm out! Come at me together!"
Hode coldly stared at the so-called protestors.
Confronted with the pressure Hode exuded, the protestors instinctively took a few steps back.
They genuinely hadn't expected Hode to get out of the car.
"Fake! He's alone, what's there to fear?"
"Let's teach this ignorant guy a lesson!"
"This guy isn't a superhero, let's go! All together now!"
Several protestors gritted their teeth and raised their signs, fiercely swinging them at Hode.
Whoosh!
However, as the wooden signs cut through the air, a dark light suddenly flashed in their eyes.
They abruptly halted the signs mid-swing and then swung them hard at their own companions.
"Fake! Are you blind?"
"Ah! Don't hit me! Have you taken too many drugs?!"
"Who the hell brought this guy in?!"
"..."
At that moment, the protestors turned into a chaotic melee.
They clawed and fought each other like primal beasts.
"Shaaah!"
Hode's pupils flashed a fiery red, displaying an uncanny and enchanting allure.
He disdainfully shook his head and got back in the car, driving away.
