After this trip, Steve had truly witnessed the level of freedom in this country.
To use Darian's words, it was truly "Free America, gun violence every day."
It was a good thing he was born at the right time.
If it were now, what he encountered in that alley back then would probably not have been fists, but a.45 caliber bullet, and none of those subsequent events would have happened.
Before leaving, Darian suddenly remembered Fury's instructions and said to Steve, "Oh, right, our Director wants to invite you to join S.H.I.E.L.D."
Steve thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, "Let's talk about that later. I plan to go back to Brooklyn and rest for a while. I'm not considering anything else for now, sorry."
Darian waved his hand nonchalantly at Steve's polite refusal.
"It's fine. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s salary isn't great, the work is intense, the danger is high, and it's year-round. It's perfectly normal for you not to join."
Steve: "..."
Isn't your Director a slave owner?
After receiving Steve's reply, Darian reported back to Fury.
Fury was silent for a moment, then agreed to Steve's request and arranged a residence for him in Brooklyn.
However, knowing Fury as Darian did, he blindly guessed that the cameras installed in that residence would collectively weigh several kilograms.
[Mission 'Return of the Centenarian Veteran' settlement complete!]
[Rewards obtained: 1000 EXP, 20 S.H.I.E.L.D. reputation, 20 Steve favorability, equipment 'Blood-Stained Pencil']
[Equipment: Blood-Stained Pencil (Someone witnessed a dog lover kill three people with this pencil in a bar)]
"Can a pencil even be considered equipment?"
Darian's mouth twitched.
The rewards in this game were not fixed; they were good at times and bad at others, basically random.
If he was lucky, he could draw some effective items; if not, he would draw some useless junk.
Pencils and such were fine.
Darian had even drawn a large hemostatic patch before, also blood-stained, which he still dared not take out.
In the days that followed, New York seemed to enter an unprecedented period of peace, with crime rates significantly lower.
This was all related to the string of superheroes who had recently emerged.
Ever since Tony announced he was Iron Man, America seemed to have conjured up many superheroes out of thin air.
Especially New York, which was practically a hotspot for superheroes; Darian knew of several just offhand.
Among them, Spider-Man was the most active.
As soon as criminals appeared, it wasn't long before Spider-Man delivered his righteous descent, leaving the NYPD with little to do lately.
And the reason for all this was that Peter's school was still under reconstruction, giving him plenty of time to fight crime.
If these criminals knew, they would probably curse General Ross and Hulk, the culprits responsible for Midtown High School's destruction.
These days, Darian hadn't received any special missions, just a series of ordinary reward tasks.
Now, accustomed to big fish and big meat, he no longer had the patience to grind through such low-yield daily quests.
Whether it was an assassination mission or a stealth mission, an RPG was the direct answer!
As long as all visible enemies were eliminated, the mission would naturally be completed.
Efficiency was the main focus!
After completing another daily mission, Darian received a call from Fury.
"Agent Darian, do you remember your previous investigation into Osborn Group?"
"They manufactured two super-soldier serums. One was used by the Military on Emil Blonsky, and the other was intercepted by Osborn Group. Evidence suggests Norman Osborn may have privately injected it."
"This serum amplifies the user's negative emotions, and recently, a guy named Green Goblin has appeared, using new equipment developed by Osborn Group to repeatedly attack Osborn Group shareholders. We highly suspect Green Goblin is Norman Osborn. I need you to immediately apprehend Norman Osborn."
[NPC Fury has issued you a new mission]
[Mission: Evil Goblin]
[Objective: Apprehend Norman Osborn]
[Rewards: EXP +3000, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +60, Random Equipment 1, Random Item 2]
"Norman Osborn?"
Darian had some impression of this NPC.
At that time, he also stole some new equipment from Osborn Group, which he hadn't used yet.
This was a good opportunity to try it out.
At the same time.
After days of careful consideration, Peter decided to follow Darian's advice.
He called Mary Jane, intending to tell her the whole truth.
Peter dialed the phone with anticipation.
However, a man's loud laughter came from the other end of the line.
"Hahahaha, hello there!"
Peter: "?"
He hadn't heard that Mary Jane had found a new boyfriend.
Peter suddenly realized something was wrong; the voice sounded a bit familiar.
"It's you, Green Goblin!"
Just a while ago, while fighting crime, Peter accidentally stumbled upon a Green Goblin slaughtering several unarmed civilians, so he immediately stepped in to stop it.
However, this guy was no ordinary person; his physical condition was not much weaker than his.
Plus, the opponent also had the enhancement of various high-tech equipment.
After a dozen rounds, Peter was at a disadvantage, being caught in the air by the Goblin and brutally pummeled.
If Peter hadn't, in a moment of quick thinking, torn off the glider beneath the opponent's feet, causing it to lose control and fly away, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
And this Goblin was none other than the Green Goblin on the phone now.
Since then, the Green Goblin seemed to have fixated on him, often appearing at the scenes where he fought crime to attack him.
And now, the opponent had appeared directly on Mary Jane's phone.
Clearly, something had happened to Mary Jane!
Peter was instantly anxious: "Green Goblin, what do you want!?"
Green Goblin laughed heartily: "Spider-Man, I'll be waiting for you at Queens Bridge! If you're late, I can't guarantee what harm she might come to."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Hearing this, Peter immediately realized that Mary Jane had been captured by the opponent!
He instantly panicked.
With a madman like Green Goblin, who knew what he would do to Mary Jane.
Goblin, beauty, kidnapping!
Just these few words, Peter could already imagine hundreds of thousands of words of unbroadcastable plot.
The more Peter thought, the more afraid he became. He immediately put on his Spider-Man suit and swung through the city at full speed towards Queens Bridge.
"Ah ah ah!!!"
Before he arrived, a piercing scream could be heard from afar.
Sensing the call of the law, Peter immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw a figure in green armor standing in the strong wind on top of Queens Bridge, holding Mary Jane suspended in mid-air with one hand, and a broken cable with the other.
And in the center of the cable, a cable car filled with a dozen children was suspended!
Green Goblin noticed Peter's arrival and shouted hysterically.
"Spider-Man, this is why only fools become heroes, because you never know when some lunatic will pose a cruel dilemma!"
"Like now, do you let the woman you love die, or do you let innocent children die?"
"Their fate is for you to decide!"
