826: Chapter 826 The Hammer is Here

Kingpin moved quickly.

In less than three days, he had recruited over sixty people.

And every single one of them was hand-picked.

He could personally guarantee the loyalty they would offer!

He was using the method of raising death soldiers!

Kingpin was already putting them through basic training and brainwashing.

Once Tony's side was ready, they could be handed over directly.

With a few days left, he could keep going! He was aiming for over a hundred!

With a scale of over a hundred people, this mission wouldn't be considered a failure, right? Kingpin thought to himself.

After all, these weren't just any random hundred people; they were elite selections who not only had ability and talent but also guaranteed loyalty!

Furthermore, Kingpin believed that once they became peripheral members of the Akatsuki Organization—even if just peripheral members—the treatment they'd receive would make them doubly loyal!

Facing Kingpin's progress reports, Tony was also somewhat surprised.

It had to be said, this King of the Underground World really had some skill; at the very least, Tony felt that if he were to do it himself, he wouldn't be as good as the other man.

Of course, their skill points were allocated in different directions.

Tony, after all, was essentially a researcher, or at most a combatant, and his combat was reliant on his research capabilities.

With Pepper managing the company, how much ability could he have in this area? If he had to say, he had some, but not much.

“I think you could become the instructor for the Island Base later, responsible for the promotion of formal members, as well as training and coordinating both formal and peripheral members,” Tony said to Kingpin. This was also on the internal channel, so the others could receive it too.

“I will do whatever the organization requires of me!” Kingpin immediately stated his position.

He didn't directly claim the role, but he expressed his willingness to do it.

This was a good thing! No matter how you looked at it, it was an official position! Management!

“We have no objection.” Peter, Gwen, and Polaris had no objections at all to such a thing.

How should one put it? Among the core elders of the Akatsuki Organization, few were willing to deal with such hassles.

The research trio didn't need to be mentioned; they were definitely going to stay rooted in the lab doing research.

Peter and Gwen, though top students, had also invested in the research skill tree. Secondly, they were combatants; in their daily lives, besides cultivating, they were busy being affectionate and lovey-dovey.

Dealing with that kind of trouble? They'd rather go on a mission!

Polaris Lorna was even less interested; she’d rather stay up all night binge-watching shows.

Tony had to be busy with the R&D of his MK series. Right now, being a leader was partly because he had the inclination, but also because the others were 'unfit for heavy responsibility'!

“Alright, then when this mission ends, you will take up the post of Island Base Instructor... also, your member Rank will be promoted to Rank 2. I will report this to the Boss,” Tony said to Kingpin. After all, someone like Kingpin should be in management, and he’d be responsible for many diverse tasks. Akatsuki was a good organization and certainly wouldn't mistreat its subordinates.

“Approved,” Clarissa's voice rang out.

Kingpin finally heard the BOSS's voice, though he still hadn't seen the person.

“Then it's settled. Kingpin, when you have some free time, come to the organization's side to collect a copy of the Basic Cultivation Method,” Tony said to Kingpin, since he was now a Rank 2 member.

“Good!” A look of joy appeared on Kingpin's face. This way, he could save the contribution points from this mission instead of spending them on a cultivation method; instead, he could buy other equipment or cultivation resources!

How could Kingpin not be happy? Furthermore, with the promotion to Rank 2 member, his benefits would also increase.

This filled Kingpin with motivation!

“Since you're considered part of management now, you can also pick a code name,” Tony said to Kingpin. “Of course, if you want to use your real name, that's fine too.”

“Since I'm going to be an instructor, let my code name just be Instructor!” Kingpin said.

“Fine!” Tony nodded and agreed. From now on, he was Instructor Kingpin.

Actually, Kingpin was well-suited to be an instructor; at least he mastered top-tier fighting techniques, which would be very effective for training cannon fodder—oh, sorry—peripheral members' combat skills.

After all, they couldn't just use Apocalypse Serum No. 1 and become idiots who had power but didn't know how to use it.

Thinking about it this way, Kingpin really was very suitable for this position in all aspects!

Tony couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate that Kingpin had proactively surrendered, even using Little Spider's connections.

Tsk~ one had to say, the world is unpredictable!

Oh, it seemed he was forced into it by his rivals!

Sure enough, competitors are idiots!

While the Akatsuki Organization continued its secret development...

The military outside, though they hadn't continued to cause trouble, was still paying close attention to everything about Akatsuki, attempting to find any shred of evidence.

It was just that the Akatsuki Organization was currently too much of a shut-in.

If there was no business, they were nowhere to be seen.

Many factions were almost forgetting the existence of the Akatsuki Organization.

Instead, various other things were happening to them, with minor skirmishes being constant.

Sentinel Services was still causing trouble with Mutants.

The Brotherhood of Mutants was also causing trouble all over the world.

Recently, there had been werewolf incidents, though these mostly affected some ordinary people, as most were busy fighting their blood-feud enemies and natural predators, the Vampires.

The world is vast, and everyone has their own chaos.

And today, there was a new disturbance.

A hammer fell from the sky, landing in the desert of New Mexico, America.

It smashed out a huge crater.

This situation was immediately caught by S.H.I.E.L.D., and Phil Agent Coulson was immediately dispatched with men to blockade and study it.

Meanwhile, Thor, the God of Thunder, fell to Earth and was hit by a car driven by astrophysicist Jane Foster, her mentor Erik Selvig, and intern Darcy. The three of them rescued and took him in.

“So, this is an alien? Claims to be the God of Thunder?” Nick Fury listened to his subordinate's report with a pensive gaze.

“Have the Captain come over.”

“Director Fury.” Captain America walked in.

“Something has happened in New Mexico. Take the Avengers Squad over to take a look. There's also an alien calling himself the God of Thunder named Thor; go and make contact with him,” Nick Fury said to Captain America.

“Understood.” Captain America nodded and immediately went into action.

Nick Fury's eyes narrowed slightly, hands still crossed in front of him, maintaining that unfathomable posture.

“Aliens... Asgard... Gods... but this is Earth! This is human territory!”

“Troubled times! Now there's another alien...”

Aliens were not unfamiliar to Nick Fury, after all, he had personally come into contact with them. Not only contact, but also...

At the same time, the Akatsuki Organization also learned about the fallen hammer.

“An alien... Thor, the God of Thunder? Interesting!” Tony looked at the various pieces of intelligence released by Akatsuki, which were integrated from all sides to form very detailed information.

“It's currently under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control. Should we intervene?” Peter asked curiously.
