Chapter 254 Breakup
Chapter 254 Breakup
Unlike Joey, a fake teenager, Mark Grayson is a genuine young man who has just graduated from high school and entered college.
What young people need is a spirit of vigor.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Cecil secretly saved a criminal who posed a huge threat to Mark's family and then let him go is enough to give him a run for his money.
Angerström's abilities meant he could make a comeback at any time and in any place, and Mark's family would once again live in constant fear.
If Joey were Mark, he would have gotten sick at this point too.
Moreover, this isn't the only bad thing Cecilia has done. Judging from Mark's attitude towards those strangely structured and ugly cyborgs, there must be other hidden stories that Joey doesn't know about.
Unaware of what was happening, Joey watched as Mark tore apart all the unresisting cyborgs as if venting his anger, while leading the terrified guards back to the surface until the Global Guard arrived belatedly.
The criminals present were terrified. With the example set by the lizardman and these cyborgs, they turned their backs and scurried into their cells deep inside the prison without the slightest intention of disobeying.
Mark, still furious after dismantling almost all the metal figures in his line of sight, roared and crashed through the ground into the sky. His destination was undoubtedly the Pentagon in Washington, where the Global Defense Agency was located.
What Joey said earlier about saving Mark's energy for flying, because it would be very useful later, is about right now.
He's going to settle accounts with Cecil.
"That cyborg was created by a mad scientist with a criminal record that the Defense Agency recruited."
The robot directed the drones and its teammates to maintain order, while simultaneously separating one of its units to speak with Joey, explaining why Mark had gone berserk the moment he saw these cyborgs:
"That scientist firmly believed that machines were the ultimate direction of human evolution. He secretly kidnapped his victims, dismembered them alive, disemboweled them, removed their brain lobes, and transformed them into half-human, half-machine monsters. Mark's good friend was one of the victims."
The secret hideout of this mad scientist named Sinclair, where he conducted his experiments, was located in the sewers of the university Mark attended. All of his victims were Mark's classmates or friends and relatives.
When Mark thwarted the other party's plot and handed him over to the Global Defense Agency, he must have been thinking of locking this perverted scum in prison for a hundred years, not like this.
Just as he coveted Angustran's dimensional travel ability, the scientist named Sinclair was able to create cyborgs in the almost non-existent sewers, whose physical strength was enough to hold their own against the aliens.
Although in the eyes of robots, the ideas of this mad scientist named Sinclair are purely heretical, and a cold mechanical body can never replace the warmth brought by flesh, people like Cecilia who consider the big picture will never let go of such a talent.
Through the aerial probe's scan, the robot also witnessed the emotionally distraught Mark running towards Cecil. He couldn't understand why Superman was just standing there watching.
"Superman, aren't you going to try and talk Mark out of it?"
"I've already taken care of that."
Joey pointed to the prison beneath his feet, where Angustran had already escaped. Now able to freely traverse dimensions, he would bring Mark and the world endless trouble in the future.
"I'm not Cecil's after-sales nanny, and besides, he's made more than just this one mess."
Angustran's escape was just one of countless foolish things that Cissell did.
If one had to list them all, besides things Mark already knew about, such as recruiting Sinclair and reviving Angstrom, there was another secret operation by Cecilia that she had been monitoring all of Mark's family's movements, which she had not yet revealed to Mark.
This is one of the reasons why Joey is unwilling to get too involved with organizations like the Defense Bureau. How can you save the world if you're always hanging out with these bugs?
It's fortunate that Mark doesn't have superhuman senses like a Kryptonian, otherwise he probably would have already gone to Cecil's house and slapped that old man a few times.
"Mark is still too young. I'm worried he might lose control in his anger and hurt Cecilia."
The robot still tried to persuade Joey to step in and help mediate this conflict that could have been avoided:
"I do not agree with what Cessel has done, but the Vixingians could invade at any time, and we, who are already powerless, obviously cannot afford such an internal conflict."
Upon hearing what the robot said, Joey, being an outsider, immediately put on a stern face:
"This is your world—stop trying to drag me into it."
I have no idea what the robot is thinking. How does it want me to help it?
Help Mark punch Director Cisel in the head and take over the Global Defense Agency?
If we actually help them like that, the robot probably won't be happy.
Or should you slap Mark, who wanted to stand up for his classmates and friends, and advise him to prioritize the bigger picture?
Why would Joey get involved in this dilemma when he's not just bored and has nothing better to do?
"Also, hurry up and repair my signal tower. The group chasing me is a hundred times more dangerous than the aliens."
Instead of hurrying up and finding a way to get rid of Joey, the robot actually has the mind to worry about the aliens.
If Joey doesn't leave soon, and a dozen Kryptonians follow the scent, the robot will know what a real "1" means.
There's nothing we can do.
"Good news, the signal tower is complete."
After reporting its progress to Joey, the multi-threaded robot nodded to indicate its understanding.
If Superman actually chooses to help, he would have to be even more careful, but fortunately the other party's reaction was still "polite".
Through the mechanical armor and the robot itself, Joey could clearly see the little expression on Rudy's face.
Joeyton, realizing something, felt exhausted—no matter which world you go to, there will never be a shortage of clever people who wish they had eight hundred schemes in their minds.
Cecilia probably shares the same mindset as the robot. Even though Mark is the only superhero on Earth with a chance to stop the alien invasion, he still insists on doing some foolish things that will quickly annoy the enemy.
"Cisser!"
Mark usually addresses the director by his first name, but that doesn't mean he disrespects Cissell.
For Mark, Cecil had always been a mentor and friend, but this time his tone was filled with resentment and anger at being betrayed:
"You're having Sinclair produce cyborgs for you?"
Mark slammed his hand on Cecil's large desk, the powerful force turning the $95 industrial wooden table into dust.
Sinclair, that madman who uses living people for experiments, should spend the rest of his life in prison, instead of continuing his disgusting human experiments with the support of the Defense Agency!
"Calm down, Mark."
Facing a furious alien who could tear him to shreds in a second, Cisel's heart pounded, but he still put his hands in his pockets, stood up nonchalantly, and forced himself to defend himself:
"Sinclair may be a madman, but he is also a genius. Moreover, he has now been modified. He only uses legally obtained bodies for experiments and creates cyborgs according to our requirements."
These cyborgs have no sense of pain, are fearless, completely obedient to orders, and have decent physical strength, enough to temporarily slow down the aliens.
For the Global Defense Agency, which relies on violence as its core method, these creatures, along with their creator Sinclair, are top-tier assets that are of the highest quality.
Having witnessed firsthand how Sinclair transformed a living human into a mechanical monster, Mark couldn't accept the fact that the Defense Agency had lowered itself to cooperate with Sinclair.
"This is a matter of justice! Sinclair must be thrown back into prison to atone for his crimes!"
"He's atoning for his crimes! What good will it do to atone for him if he's put back in prison?"
Cecilia led an angry Mark out of the office, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at a hidden door and entered the password:
"For every cyborg created, at least three fewer of our soldiers will die. Why can't you be more realistic, Mark? Is the justice in your heart more important than the lives of the soldiers in the Defense Bureau?"
"Then how do you explain Angustron's situation?! You also wanted to recruit him, just like you did with Sinclair?! Now look what's happened, he's run away, and he might be threatening my family again soon!"
"And what about those within the government who poison the tap water, spread live vaccines, and spread virus spores in the community! What have they contributed to the world?!"
Mark, engrossed in arguing, followed Cecilia along, and before he knew it, they had entered a pure white room.
This is the "White House," covered by a special spectrum, so that no one who has long drunk tap water from the North American government can see the true appearance of the interior, including Mark, who grew up in this land.
Only then did Cissel, who had been being verbally abused the whole way with his head down, finally feel a sense of security as he gripped the controller hidden in his pocket.
Within the white light, dozens of cyborgs appeared, separating Mark and Cisel layer by layer.
"This is your last warning, Mark, get out of here right now."
Cissell was tired of lecturing young, hotheaded guys like Mark.
Mark, who had originally wanted to dig deeper and find out how much more Cecily was hiding from him, finally realized the difference between himself and Cecily after seeing this scene.
All he could feel was yet another betrayal.
The Invincible Young Hero regarded Director Cicel as a partner, teacher, and friend, while Director Cicel only regarded the Invincible Young Hero as a double-edged sword that he had to use.
Just as he distrusted Omniknight, Cecilia also distrusted Omniknight's son.
