Chapter 91: Spirit of Vengeance, Thunderbolt's Provocation

Richard did not see the Ghost Rider in person.

He just saw a few videos about the Ghost Rider on the Internet.

Although these videos were not long, and some of them were blurry, they were enough for him to confirm that the guy in the video was the Ghost Rider.

The only thing he was not sure about now was which generation of the Ghost Rider appeared in New York.

Although the Ghost Rider in the video was riding a Ghost motorcycle wrapped in hellfire.

But this was not enough for him to confirm the other party's identity.

Because except for the fourth generation Ghost Rider who drove the Ghost version of the retro muscle car and the prehistoric Ghost Rider who rode the Ghost Mammoth, the first, second, and third generation Ghost Riders all rode Ghost motorcycles.

If these videos were clearer, Richard could further determine which generation of Ghost Rider this was.

But unfortunately, these videos uploaded to the Internet, like the UFO videos, are very blurry, and only the general outline can be seen, and there is no way to see the details clearly.

Although it is impossible to determine which generation of Ghost Rider appeared in New York, and it is unknown what the purpose of this Ghost Rider's coming to New York is, Richard is not worried that the other party will come to trouble him.

If it was a few months ago, he might be a little worried.

After all, Ghost Rider was given an immortal body by the Spirit of Vengeance and it is almost impossible to kill him.

Now, even if he is targeted by the Ghost Rider, he will not have any worries.

Not only that, he even looks forward to fighting with the Ghost Rider.

In addition to wanting to see if he can kill the Ghost Rider, there is another very important reason why he wants to fight with the Ghost Rider.

He wants to plunder the power of the Spirit of Vengeance!

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the plunder upgraded to the Omega level.

[Plunder: Omega-level superpower, the extraordinary ability to plunder the lives killed by one's own hands! 】

The system's explanation is as brief as ever.

On the surface, the plunder upgraded to the Omega level is no different from before.

But in fact, the changes in plunder are not ordinary.

Before the upgrade, the plundering could only plunder the X-gene superpowers of the mutants killed by his own hands.

Now, as long as he kills a life, whether it is a mutant, an Inhuman, or any other life, he can plunder the other's supernatural powers.

This means that if he kills the Spirit of Vengeance possessed by Ghost Rider, he can plunder the supernatural powers of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Before crossing, Richard had read some comics of Ghost Rider and knew that the Spirit of Vengeance was created by God in heaven and has the characteristics of immortality. Only the God who created the Spirit of Vengeance can destroy the Spirit of Vengeance.

But he did not completely agree with this statement.

In other words, he did not think that he would never be able to kill the Spirit of Vengeance.

If this is the DC universe, then he really has no way to kill the Spirit of Vengeance created by God.

But this is not the DC universe, but the Marvel universe.

The God in the Marvel universe is far less powerful than the God in the DC universe.

Although the comics do not explain in detail what level of existence God is, from the existing information, the God of the Marvel Universe is at most a single universe level, and it is likely to be just a father-level like Odin.

In addition to the fact that the God of the Marvel Universe is not as powerful as the God of the DC Universe, Richard feels that he can kill the Spirit of Vengeance for another reason.

That is, he knows that the current Spirit of Vengeance is the second batch of Spirit of Vengeance, which was created by God 6,000 years ago and is called the "Living Spirit Weapon".

As for the first generation, that is, the original Spirit of Vengeance, they all died in the battle with the elemental demon lord Zatanos.

To be more precise, the original Spirit of Vengeance "sealed" the elemental demon lord Zatanos at the cost of sacrificing himself.

Let's talk about the second batch of Spirit of Vengeance, which is called the "Living Spirit Weapon".

The second batch of Spirit of Vengeance has the ability to devour its own kind and improve itself, so the surviving Spirit of Vengeance has devoured a large number of its own kind to improve itself.

This means that the statement that only God can destroy the Spirit of Vengeance is not accurate.

Apart from anything else, the Spirit of Vengeance has the ability to kill and devour its own kind.

Although Richard still doesn't know what method to use to kill the Spirit of Vengeance, one thing is certain, that is, the energy possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance is not infinite.

As long as all the energy of the Spirit of Vengeance is exhausted, if nothing unexpected happens, the Spirit of Vengeance can be killed.

Silver Manor.

The training ground behind the main building.

Richard is doing daily training, trying to improve the proficiency of Eight Swords Flash and Dimension Slash.

Although Eight Swords Flash and Dimension Slash have just been upgraded to level 4 not long ago, it is impossible to upgrade to level 5 in a short time.

But there is an old saying that without accumulating small steps, there is no way to a thousand miles, and without accumulating small streams, there is no way to form a river or sea.

Even if it is impossible to upgrade to level 5 in a short time, as long as you persist in training and continuously improve your skill proficiency, you will upgrade one day.

Richard has enough patience for this.

Time passes little by little.

Unknowingly, night is about to fall.

After training tirelessly for an entire afternoon in the training ground, Richard put the authentic sword back into the system space, undoing the transformation of his clothes, and turning the same clothes as Sephiroth's back into normal casual wear.

After doing all this, he performed teleportation and returned to the bedroom in the main building.

After taking off his clothes with the help of the White Queen, he took the White Queen to the bathroom, taking a bath while enjoying the White Queen's "massage" service.

After staying in the bathroom for almost an hour, he carried the limp White Queen back to the bedroom.

Putting the White Queen on the bed, he said to her, "I'm going out to attend a charity dinner later. You don't have to wait for me to come back. Go to bed first."

"Are you going alone, or taking Clarice with you?"

The White Queen asked quickly.

"I'm going alone."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, the White Queen said nothing more and nodded.

Under the gaze of the White Queen, Richard took out a set of custom-made suits handmade by a master from the closet and put them on.

With the surge in his wealth, he is now living more and more like a decadent capitalist.

If there is any difference, it is that he does not focus on making money like other decadent capitalists, but focuses on improving his strength.

Money is just a number to him.

As long as he still has strong strength, money is not a problem at all.

Soon, he got dressed and came to the garage alone.

After taking a look at the more than 20 luxury cars parked in the garage, he came to an antique car produced in 1957.

Aston Martin DB Mark III!

From the perspective of performance, antique cars in good condition are not as good as modern models.

But for Richard, who is already a billionaire, performance and cost performance are not a consideration.

He would spend a high price to buy this Aston Martin DB Mark III in very good condition for a simple reason, because he saw Bruce driving this car in his movie "Batman v Superman".

Not only that, Bruce happened to drive this car to the dinner hosted by Luther.

Interestingly, the charity dinner he attended tonight was also hosted by a person who is a good guy on the surface but a super villain in fact.

Kingpin!

The person who hosted tonight's charity dinner was none other than the American underworld emperor Kingpin.

Of course, the organizer written on the invitation was not Kingpin, but Wilson Grant Fisk.

Although Jin Bing's true identity is no secret, he is not only not imprisoned, but also lives a comfortable life.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

Because there is a lack of evidence to prove Jin Bing's guilt!

In addition, in a capitalist country like the United States, Jin Bing, who is not short of money, has many ways to make himself a nominal good man.

For example, tonight's charity dinner.

Richard originally did not plan to attend this charity dinner.

But after knowing that Ghost Rider appeared in New York, he changed his mind.

He wanted to see whether Ghost Rider was more interested in Jin Bing or him when he and Jin Bing, the underworld king of the United States, appeared in the same occasion.

If you stand from the perspective of the official United States, no matter where you look at it, his threat level is much higher than Jin Bing.

Jin Bing's existence will at most make the security environment a little worse.

And his existence will make all the senior officials in the United States feel uneasy.

But Ghost Rider is not an official United States.

Ghost Rider has his own judgment standards for sin.

After opening the car door and getting in, Richard drove the Aston Martin antique car, which was several times older than him, out of the manor and headed towards downtown New York.

New York.

A luxury hotel in Manhattan.

The guests dressed in gorgeous clothes arrived at the hotel one after another.

The reporters gathered at the door of the hotel kept pressing the shutter, and the flashes came and went, taking pictures of every guest attending the dinner.

Under the gaze of everyone, a silver-white Mercedes-Benz limited edition sports car came to the door of the hotel and stopped.

As the door of the gullwing opened, the suit-wearing Thunderbolt and his supermodel girlfriend Fina Lair, who had just been hooked up for a few days, got out of the car.

As soon as the Thunderbolt got out of the car, the reporters' cameras were pointed at him and kept pressing the shutter.

Although the Thunderbolt is a member of the Fantastic Four, and the organizer of the dinner, Kingpin, is the underworld emperor of the United States, the reporters were not surprised that the Thunderbolt brought his girlfriend to the dinner.

Whether it is a charity dinner or any other dinner, the Thunderbolt is a frequent guest.

For him, any dinner party is a good place to make a splash.

Just as the Human Torch was hugging his supermodel girlfriend's slender waist and enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by flashes with satisfaction, a black antique car arrived at the hotel entrance.

As the car door opened, the flashes gathered on the Human Torch immediately shifted to the new guest.

Richard!

After seeing that the person getting off the car was Richard, the reporters' actions of pressing the shutter became more crazy.

Whether it is reporters, media, or audiences, they all like new things and dislike old things.

Compared with the Human Torch who attended the dinner with his supermodel girlfriend, the reporters are obviously more interested in Richard.

In other words, the popularity and traffic he can bring are much higher than that of the Human Torch.

After being called the "King of Mutants", this is his second appearance in public.

Richard did not care about the reporters' taking pictures, nor did he pay attention to the unhappy expression on the Human Torch's face, and walked straight to the hotel gate.

Just as he was about to pass by him, the Human Torch, holding Fina Lyle, whom he had just picked up, stopped him in front of him.

"Why did you come here alone? Can't you find a female companion?"

The Human Torch said to Richard.

Richard had not intended to pay attention to the Human Torch.

After all, the main purpose of his coming here tonight was to see if the Ghost Rider would come, and whether the Ghost Rider would be more interested in him or Kingpin.

After hearing the provocation of the Human Torch, he said to the Human Torch:

"Is this your new girlfriend?"

Just as the Human Torch was about to answer, Fina Lyle, who was hugged by his slender waist, immediately broke free from his right hand and quickly said:

"No, we are not a couple, I just came to accompany him to the dinner."

What?

The Human Torch was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fina Lyle, who had agreed to date him a few days ago, in confusion.

Although he didn't know why Fina Lyle suddenly denied that she was his girlfriend, he soon saw that something was wrong.

Because the blond, blue-eyed, and well-groomed Fina Lyle was now looking at Richard with tenderness and affection.

As a playboy, if he still couldn't see something wrong, he would be too slow.

"Do you know each other?"

Thunderbolt asked quickly.

"Not only do we know each other, we also had in-depth exchanges in the presidential suite of the hotel."

"By the way, did Fina tell you that she has a sister who is as good-looking as her and is a fashion designer?"

Richard looked at Thunderbolt calmly and said slowly.

Although he said it very tactfully, Thunderbolt immediately heard the subtext in his words.

Just when Thunderbolt was about to say something, Richard continued:

"You just reminded me that it would be a bit lonely to attend the dinner without a female companion."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fina Lyle.

He didn't need to say anything more. After seeing his gaze, Fina Lyle immediately came to him, took his right hand intimately, and pressed her sexy body against him.

Seeing the supermodel girlfriend that he had spent a month or two and spent a lot of effort to pick up.

No, now it should be said that the supermodel ex-girlfriend abandoned him in an instant. After throwing herself into Richard's arms with enthusiasm, Thunderbolt's expression was as ugly as it could be.

Because of the distance, the reporters around did not hear their conversation.

However, after seeing Thunderbolt's new girlfriend Fina Lyle, who had just been introduced to everyone, took Richard's right hand, the professional instincts of these reporters were immediately aroused.

Although they didn't know what happened specifically, it was obvious that Thunderbolt was abandoned by Fina Lyle without hesitation.

In just a moment, the headlines of tomorrow's reports flashed in the minds of these reporters.

"At the charity dinner, the Human Torch was abandoned by his supermodel girlfriend!"

"The Human Torch lost his true love, and his supermodel girlfriend turned to the arms of the King of Mutants!"
