Chapter 220: Steve, why is there a green light above your head? (1)

Sorry for no chapter yesterday, had some viral fever.

------------------------------

Mar-Vell moved quickly, catching a flight back to the U.S. overnight.

With Josh's prior arrangements and the speed of the Boeing 707, she arrived in New Mexico in just seven hours.

She then found the spaceship she had hidden on Earth, traveled to the moon for reconnaissance, and returned directly to Austria—all in less than two hours.

She left Vienna at 10 p.m. and arrived at N...

Chapter 219: Deal Made

"Josh, why are you looking for me so late?" About half an hour later, Mar-Vell was invited into Josh's study.

"It's nothing too serious. I just have a friend who needs a ride." Josh got straight to the point.

"A ride? What do you mean?" Mar-Vell frowned immediately.

"Exactly what you're thinking. He wants to take your ship and leave Earth. If possible, drop him off somewhere neutral—like Nova or Nowhere, anywhere works." Josh shrugged.

"Josh, I've told you many times...

Chapter 218: The Sword of the King

"Uh... If I heard you correctly, Prince Vlad, you just said you wanted to order a spaceship that could travel beyond the solar system?" Josh couldn't help but confirm.

Even vampires are getting into space travel now? Is there any logic left in this world?

"That's right. I've lived too long and travelled to every corner of the earth. Everything here has become boring to me, so I want to see what's beyond this planet. Didn't your Boeing company successfully launch its first satellit...

Chapter 217: A Vampire's Night Visit (2)

Meanwhile, Josh had no idea that such an important guest was on his way.

At that moment, he had already arrived at the castle and was giving Margaret, along with Carter and Mar-Vell, a tour of its interior.

Margaret, in particular, was eager to explore. As the future mistress of this castle, it was her first time officially stepping inside—she had only ever seen photos before. Naturally, she wanted to familiarize herself with every detail.

However, Josh wasn’t actually t...

Chapter 216: A Vampire's Night Visit (1)

Dracula dismissed the patrol officer with a smile and prepared to find a place to have a drink.

He had to admit, this Josh Kahn had a great eye for locations. Neuschwanstein Castle and the surrounding mountain town were truly beautiful—far more beautiful than his own cursed fortress.

It was a shame, though. In his centuries-long slumber, he had missed the construction of the castle. Otherwise, he would surely have claimed it for himself.

But now...

As Dracula watched...

Chapter 215: World's Most Powerful Vampire (2)

Their group was quite large, so Austria had arranged a whole convoy for them.

Their next stop was the nearest airport, where they would catch a direct flight to Schwangau, home to Neuschwanstein Castle.

The distance was just over 500 kilometers, and with a private jet, the trip wouldn't take long.

Josh and his family shared a car, and Carter obviously wasn't going to squeeze in with them.

Mar-Vell, after being lectured by Carter, just shrugged and followed her into ano...

Chapter 214: World's Most Powerful Vampire (1)

'The Margaret' cruise ship departed from New York at the end of December, so by the time it reached Europe, it was already early 1948.

The story of Peggy Carter and Mar-Vell was but a small episode in the relatively long journey.

In fact, the two energetic women clashed no less than ten times during the nearly twenty-day trip. Fortunately, aside from the first intense fight, the rest were more restrained and they didn't break too many things.

However, no one found their acti...

Chapter 213: I Can Spend the Whole Day with You (2)

"Francesca, you look a little different tonight," Vito whispered as he leaned in.

"Don't ask. If you want to know, the boss will tell you when the time comes," Francesca shook her head and replied to her brother.

She hadn't had a chance to look in a mirror, so she wasn't aware of her own changes. But she wasn’t blind—she had clearly seen the transformation in Margaret after drinking that glass of water. Since she had drunk the same thing, the effects on her should be similar.<...

Chapter 212: I Can Spend the Whole Day with You (1)

Margaret and Francesca drank the Elixir from the Pool of Eternal Life, but nothing like the scenes in fantasy novels happened—no foul substances being expelled from their pores, no sudden urge to rush to the bathroom.

They just felt more refreshed, as if their bodies had undergone a deep rejuvenation. Their skin glowed and they even looked a few years younger.

"This is amazing! What kind of water is this? It tastes just like regular spring water, but I feel so much more energize...

Chapter 211: A Change in Relationship (1)

When Mar-Vell emerged from the bathroom, she was surprised to see Carter sitting on the bed, fully dressed in her Captain Britain battle suit, holding her shield and sword.

"Has something happened? Are we under attack?" Mar-Vell was confused. She went to the balcony and looked outside. The guards were still patrolling as usual—nothing seemed wrong.

"No, nothing happened. I just suddenly felt like working out. There's a training area on the ship. Get dressed, let's go test our sk...

Chapter 210: A Change in Relationship (1)

At night, the cruise ship Margaret sailed smoothly across the Atlantic, like a giant beast moving silently through the darkness.

Since it was now privately owned by Josh and not open to the public, only close friends and family were occasionally invited aboard. The ship, originally designed to hold over a thousand cabins, had been reduced to less than a hundred.

This change greatly expanded the leisure and entertainment areas while improving the quality of the remaining cabins. 2025-02-06 16:33:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 209: The Pool of Eternal Life (2)

"Mr. Josh, I know you're Carter's boss, but I still feel the same way—given Earth's current level of civilization, knowing too much about space is not a good thing," Mar-Vell began after they left.

In Mar-Vell's mind, Josh had sent Carter and Margaret away simply to ask them about things related to space.

As a member of the Kree Empire's StarForce, Mar-Vell had met many politicians and rulers, so she wasn't too surprised. She got right to the point.

"Ha ha, Lady Mar-Vell, ...

Chapter 208: The Pool of Eternal Life (1)

Josh is getting married!

This news spread quickly through high society in the U.S. and Europe, and it had a huge impact.

It wasn't just because of Josh's current status, but also because of some of the wedding details that were leaked.

For example, the wedding will take place in the newly renovated and officially completed fairytale castle–Neuschwanstein Castle.

The wedding dress is incredibly luxurious, adorned with thousands of diamonds and pearls.

The bride ...

Chapter 207: Marriage (2)

Linus was a great godfather to Josh's two kids, always bringing them presents on holidays. Mike and Carol both liked him very much.

But there was another reason Josh brought up the topic.

He was curious if Amberson Osborn was really Norman Osborn's father.

Amberson's company wasn't called the Osborn Group, but that didn't necessarily mean he wasn't part of the family.

As for the so-called genetic disease, that was just something added in the Amazing Spider-Man version ...

Chapter 206: Marriage (1)

Josh was a little surprised to have guests at home, but he welcomed them warmly anyway.

He and Margaret had been together for almost four years. Although Margaret was very enthusiastic when they first met, in reality she was a complete shut-in with a very small social circle.

Before having children, she would occasionally go out and socialize, but after becoming a mother, she rarely wanted to leave the house.

Since it was rare for her to have close friends over, Josh natural...

Chapter 205: Promise of Empress Position (2)

"Good. I admire your honesty. When I regain my true form and unite the world, I will grant you the title of Empress. What do you say?" The Dragon Emperor looked at Cai Lin. Earlier, he had been too preoccupied with his resurrection and his clay body's lack of sensation to notice.

Now that he looked carefully, Cai Lin’s beauty and figure were truly exceptional—far surpassing Ziyuan.

It might not be a bad idea to have such an empress. He had never officially named an Empress dur...

Chapter 204: Promise of Empress Position (1)

"What year is it today?" The newly awakened Dragon Emperor glanced at Cai Lin and her subordinates, pausing at the captured Lin for a moment before turning his gaze back to Cai Lin and asking her the question.

Although he had just awakened, his sharp eyes could immediately tell that Cai Lin was the one in charge. The Shangri-La Eye in her hand, now transformed into a large diamond, further confirmed that she was the one who had revived him.

"Your Majesty, the year is now 1927. It ...

Chapter 203: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (3)

Cai Lin was ambitious, but also realistic about her own abilities. With Josh's help and some clever strategies, she had built a strong foundation in a short time.

But ruling the entire Han Empire—or even conquering the world—was beyond what she, along with a few super soldiers, could accomplish.

After all, she wasn’t living in a medieval fantasy like Game of Thrones—this was the modern age, where nationalism was awakening.

Even if she managed to take over the world, ...

Chapter 202: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2)

At this moment, it had only been a little more than half a year since both sides had established interdimensional trade. In Josh's world, it was the end of 1947, while in the Universe of 'The Mummy', the timeline had reached the second half of 1927.

In Josh's estimation, during that period of time, Cai Lin, being a woman, would not be able to accomplish her goals so quickly, even with his assistance in providing various military supplies.

But things went more smoothly than he expe...

Chapter 201: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (1)

"It's her!" Josh quickly checked the information Peggy Carter had sent over, and when he saw the name "Mar-Vell," he immediately understood.

The original Captain Marvel from the comics, the mentor to Carol Danvers in the movies.

Reading through Carter's report and the details of their conversation, Josh quickly realized that Mar-Vell had not yet become involved with the Skrulls, nor had she reached the point of betraying the Kree Starforce.

After all, Mar-Vell had helped tho...

Chapter 200: Captain Carter and Mar-Vell (2)

"Mar-Vell," she replied without hesitation, shaking Carter's hand. She had no reason to hide her name—after all, she hadn’t betrayed the Kree yet.

As they shook hands, Mar-Vell instinctively applied a bit of pressure.

"Sounds like a boy's name," Carter remarked with a smile, feeling the strength in Mar-Vell's grip and responding in kind.

Who said only men competed in strength?

Strong-willed women like Carter and Mar-Vell were just as likely to do so.

After a ...

Chapter 199: Captain Carter and Mar-Vell (1)

"Thank you for your purchase, that will be two dollars!" The street fruit vendor handed Mar-Vell a bag of fresh cashews as he told her the price.

These cashews were not the dried nuts commonly found in supermarkets or grocery stores. Those are actually the seeds that grow on top of real cashew fruits.

Here, however, the cashews were fresh and whole, resembling wax apples in appearance. The flesh was juicy and smooth, with a flavor somewhat similar to pineapple—sweet and refreshi...

Chapter 198: The Roswell Incident

Josh did not turn down the Army's Rebirth Soldier Project.

After all, the project didn't cost the CIA anything—just two super soldier corpses. Plus, it earned him a favor from the military, so why not?

As for whether the bodies would go rogue like in the movies, he wasn't worried. With his resources, he had nothing to worry about. And if anything went wrong, it would be the military's problem, not his.

Sure enough, within half a month, it was time for the military to retur...

Chapter 197: Resurrecting Super-Soldiers (2)

Aside from Fritz’s secret stash, the Winter Soldier also smuggled out a batch of vibranium during the retreat—quite a significant amount.

Since Josh had greater control over the Winter Soldier's programming, this vibranium ended up in his hands as well.

In addition, the CIA, as the primary U.S. intelligence agency involved in the Wakanda operation, had played a crucial role in the war.

President Truman, ever the pragmatist, generously allocated the CIA a 5% share of the ...

Chapter 196: Resurrecting Super-Soldiers (1)

"Ah~ So this is raw vibranium? After hearing about it for so long, I finally get to see it for myself. Even though it's my first time, I can already feel the immense energy within it. I can’t wait to start researching it!"

On the system's communicator screen, Yuri held a piece of glowing blue metal ore, carefully examining it and sensing the energy inside.

Yes, raw vibranium contained incredibly powerful energy.

Previously, Josh had only known vibranium as a tough metal ca...

Chapter 195: Ancient One v/s Bast

The council quickly decided how to deal with the aftermath of the turmoil.

For the First National City Bank Trust, as was the case when Malik's father died, most of the assets—aside from the direct property—were placed under the "temporary management" of the council members.

Thomas's family was left with nothing but dividends and became mere spectators.

This was still a good result.

Calvin Chadwick, who was the first to break the unspoken rules, had most of his per...

Chapter 194: A New Situation for the Council

In the courtyard of a secret estate in Chicago, nearly two-year-old Mike and Carol were happily playing with several dogs.

However, Margaret, who was watching them from the side, had a worried look on her face.

Three days ago, after receiving a message from Josh, Jiaying and Francesca had brought Margaret and her two children to this new estate. She had never been here before, but the place was heavily guarded.

Margaret could easily guess that something had happened, but she...

Chapter 193: Gamma Rays (2)

"That's simple—how to resist its harmful effects, or better yet, how to neutralize it," Dottie said.

The moment she spoke, Howard's expression turned serious. "What happened?"

Earlier, when Josh—acting under his CIA identity—had asked him about Zero Matter, it had been framed as a general research request. Howard hadn't thought too much about it and hadn't taken it too seriously.

But now Dottie was asking how to counteract its effects. That meant the situation wasn't s...

Chapter 192: Gamma Rays (1)

Sorry people for no chapter yesterday, I was too busy cause of Uni.

A DC-3 passenger plane slowly landed in Los Angeles.

Jarvis stood at the exit point, holding a sunshade umbrella, carefully watching the passengers stepping off the plane.

His gaze soon fell on a tall woman with black hair and sunglasses. His expression immediately twisted slightly.

"Oh, dear Mr. Jarvis, you don't look happy to see me," the woman teased with a smile a...

Chapter 191: Response (2)

"Everything is arranged. Madam and the young master and miss are safe. Francesca is taking care of them," Jiaying answered Josh's question.

After Josh and Vito teleported out of the council meeting, they immediately contacted Jiaying and Ophelia.

Jiaying was tasked with relocating Margaret and the children—since Calvin dared to break the council’s rules and make a move there, it couldn’t be ruled out that he would resort to kidnapping.

As for Ophelia, her role was to p...
