Marvel: I'm just the Supreme Master's sidekick.

Chapter 19 Unveiling Your True Colors

"A code? Shall we say it together?"

"Three, two... one."

"The prisoner in the swimming pool."

"Alright, that's all right now. I need your support."

Qin Wuying and Lucy first confirmed each other's identities in real-time communication before they began to talk.

Having learned from her previous experience, Qin Wuying is now even more cautious.

What do you need? I'll do my best to help.

"May I use your access? The target of the photo is Armory Number Two on the eleventh basement level."

"Okay, but I can only give you ten minutes."

"That's more than enough."

Immediately afterwards, Lucy gave Cliff and Emily orders to go underground and cooperate with Qin Wuying.

This is a privilege reserved only for Lucy Stark.

She can bypass the Minister and Deputy Minister of the Security Department and directly command the department members' actions; her orders are also of the highest level.

"Mr. Qin, this...this isn't human, is it?"

Despite being well-prepared, the two agents were still taken aback when they saw the Struth.

Although there is a possibility that they could be imposters, Qin Wuying has no other choice at the moment.

It would be too difficult for him to handle this unconscious guy on his own.

Right now, he can only make himself invisible; he hasn't yet learned how to transfer other people's information.

"Lucy, don't send Cliff and Emily back to the Security Department yet. Let them find somewhere to stay."

"Okay, I understand."

"If they insist on breaking through, immediately call in security to protect you."

After hanging up the call, Qin Wuying got back into the descending elevator.

In his original world, he had never been to such a deep place.

Looking at my reflection in the elevator wall, a sense of unreality arose spontaneously.

But now he doesn't have the extra time to think about these things.

The armory on level eleven below ground is where Stark Industries' most advanced weapons are stored. The Skrulls must have had a purpose in choosing to work there.

Qin Wuying traveled with a green light all the way.

Lucy had already issued orders through the ranks to allow Qin Wuying to pass, and had also given him a high-level identification code.

She had no doubts about Qin Wuying.

Gu Yi once told her that she could trust Mr. Qin unconditionally.

In her eyes, Qin Wuying, aside from his identity as a mage, was just a young man who had just entered society.

Meanwhile, Qin Wuying had already arrived at the target location.

The armory was much larger than it appeared in the photos, with weapons and equipment unlike anything seen before in almost every corner.

There were many employees and automated guided vehicles at work, and the scene was bustling with activity.

The Stark Industries' arms and weapons dealing did not stop; in fact, it became even more rampant after Ralph Stark took over.

"Joe? Who's Joe?! Urgent mission!"

After looking around, Qin Wuying did not see the target, so he shouted twice.

One of the employees saw the security department badge on Qin Wuying's body and immediately ran into the crowd, pulling a man out of the crowd.

"Sir, that's him."

"You did a good job," Qin Wuying said, raising his arm and transmitting dozens of points to the employee via the terminal.

"Thank you for the tip, sir!"

After bowing to Qin Wuying, the worker picked up his tools and ran away.

I glanced at the clock; almost an hour had passed since I entered the underground.

And his advanced privileges were reduced to only one and a half minutes.

We must leave here immediately and find a suitable place to interrogate the captured Skrulls.

"Come with me now, the security department wants to talk to you."

"Sir, I didn't do anything!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow along."

Qin Wuying grabbed Qiao's shoulder forcefully and dragged him out of the armory.

Now, all we need to do is take him out of the company, find a place outside to question him, or use him as bait to attract more Skrulls to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, the bait worked faster than expected.

Just a few steps out of the armory, Qin Wuying bumped into Rhodes and a dozen or so security agents.

"Qin Wuying, stop right there! You are suspected of overstepping your authority. Drop your weapon!"

Rhodes held a high-tech light machine gun in his hand, its black muzzle pointed at Qin Wuying.

The other agents were also armed with pistols, batons, and other weapons, looking ready for battle.

Now, Qin Wuying was in a bit of a predicament.

It would be very easy for me to escape; I could retreat immediately once I activated the intangibility.

However, that would mean the Skrulls we'd worked so hard to capture would escape.

"I'm warning you! If you don't crouch down and cover your head, we're going to use the anti-magic stone!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing the words "magic-suppressing stone," Qin Wuying felt a tremor in his heart, for it was his only weakness as a mage.

But we must not give up now.

Just as Qin Wuying was at a loss for what to do, and the two sides were briefly at an impasse—

"Meow~ Meow~"

Suddenly, a golden shaded dog darted out from one of the rooms in the corridor.

The cat's fur was all ruffled, and its back was arched, clearly frightened by the scene before it.

"How could there be an octogenarian at this time!"

Qin Wuying's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.

He suddenly jumped aside and threw the golden shaded dog at Rod's feet.

"Aaaaaaah, don't come any closer!"

When Rhodes saw the kitten pounce on him, he was so frightened that he pushed aside the agents behind him and took dozens of steps back.

"Minister, are you alright?"

"Minister, it's just a cat, don't be afraid."

"Quick, quick, go help the minister! Don't let him get hurt!"

Seeing Rhodes' reaction, Qin Wuying's lips curled into a smug smile.

His guess was indeed correct.

"Hey, you bastard, how long have you been impersonating Rhodes?"

Qin Wuying teleported to the middle of the agents, picked up the kitten, and approached Rhodes step by step.

"If you don't show yourself soon, I'm going to have it bite you."

"No, no, please! We can discuss it, we can negotiate, we can talk things out!"

"No way! Tell everyone your real identity now!"

Qin Wuying made a feint as if tossing the kitten high into the air, which startled Rod so much that he fell to the ground.

The agents nearby had long forgotten their mission; they looked at each other, dumbfounded.

The usually imposing, calm, and pragmatic Minister Rhodes is actually afraid of a tiny, harmless cat!

"Hakimi did a great job." Qin Wuying scratched the kitten's head, and the kitten gradually relaxed and started purring.

He guessed right once again.

In "Secret Invasion," Rhodes was secretly switched by the Skrulls.

Based on previous intelligence, he believed that Rhodes was a mole within the Security Department and also the Skrulls' person in charge of controlling Stark Industries.

Fake Rhodes became enraged; his black skin turned green, and his expression lost its innocence.

"The minister... has transformed..."

The agents were taken aback and scattered, no longer daring to stand next to the fake Rhodes.

"Hmph, you've got some guts, kid. But now that you all know, none of you are leaving here alive!"

Immediately afterwards, the fake Rhodes removed the metal box from his back and then stepped on it—

"Buzz... Click-click..."
