Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 699: A Sorrowful man II

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP...*

The next thing he knew, he woke up in a hospital private room. Lots of machines were attached to his body. On his face was an oxygen mask. He turned his head down and saw there were lots of bandages. Then he felt strange and breathed faster.

He couldn't feel his left arm. He turned his head and indeed, there was no left arm. But he remembered his mom and sister and the loss of a hand didn't seem too saddening to him.

In front of him, on the wall was a television, showing the news. He read the headlines, "Iron Man saved the day..."

There was no news about the death of his family.

Tyson's eyes were half-open, he was in a terrible mental state right now. Unable to think about anything.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

All of a sudden, the door opened after two knocks and two men in suits entered. They looked to be detectives or some federal agents by their demeanour.

Tyson guessed they were here to get his testimony for what happened.

"Ah, good thing you are awake. I am agent Max and this is agent Ava. We are from a department that cannot give its name to you. We are sorry for your loss, Mr Nox." The woman spoke.

Tyson just looked at them and listened, hopeful that they would be here to help him get justice. Then, the man took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"We understand what happened must be paining you a lot, for this, they have decided to properly compensate you. This case is a matter of national security so courts cannot be involved. Here." The man named Max handed Tyson the paper.

Tyson, with much effort, held it in his right hand and read it. It was a simple cheque with one and six zeroes after it. They were trying to hush up the matter. Tyson's eyes turned red in anger and the machines started making louder beep noises. His blood pressure rose and he felt warm all over his body.

"I-Is this the price of a human? O-One million?" Tyson asked with a low yet voice full of anger.

"Son, this is not our decision. We understand your pain but this was decided by the people we can't even dare to look at," Agent Max said, even his eyes showed a tint of pity.

Magnus's blood pressure kept on increasing. "1 Million? 1 life?... thanks..."

Agent Max and Ava were confused as to why he thanked them.

*BAM*

Just then the door opened and a doctor and 3 nurses ran in. They must have seen the alarms ringing on their computers. As soon as they entered they were shocked seeing the two strangers.

The doctor burst into anger, "WHO ARE YOU TWO? GET OUT... Emma, call the cops."

The two agents backed up, "We are the cops, we're just leaving."

The doctor was still angry, "Doesn't matter, if something happens to him, I will find you to blame. GET OUT NOW..."

The doctor quickly tried to fix Tyson's state but his pulse and blood pressure were continuously increasing.

"QUICK, get me an injection of lisinopril." The doctor shouted. The nurse hurried to get the injection.

"What happened to him? He was in a stable state." The doctor was confused. Then his eyes fell on the paper in Tyson's hand. He took it and read it. It was a cheque and he immediately understood what happened.

He was told to stay silent about Tyson's family as he knew what had happened to him. He felt angered knowing that the two agents were here to hush up the matter.

"Don't worry, I will give this to you later. I will keep it safe for you." The doctor assured him.

But Tyson was not responding. His eyes were bloodshot red as he stared at the television. Some kind of a press conference was going on.

"I AM IRON MAN." Tony Stark's voice came and then all the journalists rushed up to ask the questions. The screen showed Tony Stark looking straight at the camera, and Tyson felt as if Tony was directly looking at him.

The doctor switched off the television and focused on Tyson. But Tyson was still looking at television. His chest went up and down, showing he was breathing irregularly.

His eyes turned redder and his body turned warmer. He started sweating a lot. ~1 Million, 1 life?~

With that thought, he closed his eyes. Just now, he felt as if something broke in his body. He had rage and anger but it didn't show up on the face. There was something else that just got unlocked in his body. It was as if something had been dormant all this time.

"OH NO... He's going into cardiac arrest... Quick, bring the defibrillator," the doctors shouted.

Tyson could only hear the beeps of the machine going slow.

*Beep* *Beep* Be___________________________*

"1 2 3... again, increase the charge, 1 2 3... again, 1 2 3..." The doctor tried his best but nothing brought him back. With a slumped shoulder and a saddened face, he noted the time of the death.

"2008, November 5th, 9:00 AM." He said to the nurse.

"Call the funeral services. I will pay for it. He has no family left." The doctor was on the verge of tearing up.

"AND CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT..." He shouted again when he remembered the two agents.

Tyson's body lay there lifelessly, slowly cooling down.

...

1 Year Later,

Manhattan, Fisk Industries, 439 West 38th Street.

The Fisk Industries tower was a front for the Kingpin public ventures as well as a base of operations for his criminal activities.

Kingpin sat in his underground office that was mainly used for his criminal work. He was talking to his lieutenants and his accountant.

"So you are telling me that a man wants to sell us advanced energy weapons that even the law enforcement doesn't have? Is he legitimate?" Kingpin asked his accountant, a woman of beauty but cruelty in her eyes.

She answered, "Yes, I have checked it. We don't know about his real identity as he always wears a black mask, but from his past activities, he has been found selling normal weapons to gangs in South America. This is the first time he's selling the advanced weaponry."

"Then call him here. I don't like keeping people of such calibre waiting." Kingpin spoke in his thick voice.

"He's already here." The accountant answered.

*TING*

The elevator door to the office opened and a masked man in a black leather hooded coat entered. He was wearing a glove on the left hand. His eyes were deep red in colour, making him look like some kind of a demon.

"Welcome to Fisk Tower, I heard you want to sell some weapons?" Kingpin got straight to work.

"Yes, I presume you would like to check them first." the man said and took out guns from his suitcase. There were two, one looked like a pistol and the other looked like an assault rifle. But they looked very futuristic.

"The pistol can create a hole of 3 centimetres diameter in a metal wall of 2-inch thickness. The assault rifle can create a 5-inch hole in a metal wall of 4-inch thickness. The pistol can fire 100 rounds with one charged cartridge and the riffle can fire 300 rounds with one charge cartridge." He explained the weapons.

"Are they really that strong?" Kingpin was sceptical.

The hooded man didn't think twice and fired the pistol at a man on the left. The man in an instant fell down on the floor with a huge hole in his chest.

All the people took out their guns and aimed at him, "Calm down, he was an FBI undercover agent."

"WHAT?" The accountant woman exclaimed and looked into her portable tablet.

"Look for a new file named under traitor." The masked man said.

The accountant did as asked and found all the details. "He's speaking the truth... wait.. you hacked my device?"

"Yes, I can offer you digital security services too if you want. But, before that, do you want these?" He inquired.

Kingpin got up with a smile. He was honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. Looking into the man's eyes, he felt like he was making a deal with the devil.

He checked the assault rifle, "How do you charge these?"

"You will have to buy tanks of refill plasma from me, they don't cost too much and each tank can refill up to 500 cartridges of Pistol or 300 of the rifle." The man answered.

"Good, so what will be the cost? How much do you want?" Kingpin asked the main question. He was very much interested in these weapons. He also wanted to deal like a businessman as he felt that this man had some kind of big backing that made him sound so proud.

"Not how much but what. I don't want money, Kingpin." The man answered.

Kingpin was shocked, "Then what do you want?"

"Blood, the blood of the mutants. As many as you can. I don't care how you get them to me. The blood of an ordinary combat mutant will be worth 100,000$. Blood of an Alpha, Beta, Gamma combat mutants will be worth 50 Million, 10 Million and 1 Million. The blood of an Omega will be worth anywhere from 100 Million to 500 Million. This is how we will trade, Kingpin." The masked man replied.

Kingpin scratched his chin, "This is a hard task, but I like it. If this is your cost, I won't have to worry about getting cash."

He did not ask why he needed the blood as it was none of his business.

"I will reward you more if you can bring me the blood of a few specific mutants." The man demanded.

"How much are we talking about?" Kingpin got greedy.

"500 Million to 1 Billion." the man answered, making Kingpin excited.

"I can try, give us the names and addresses if you have them," Kingpin asked back.

The masked man took out a list and handed it to him. "The biggest priority is Jean Grey, an Omega level. She has not manifested her powers yet completely, if you can get her blood, I will give you weapons or cash and gold worth 1 billion.

"The second is Logan aka Wolverine, considered a Beta level Mutant. I will give you 300 Million for him.

"Third is Charles Xavier, aka Professor X. He's a very powerful Omega. If you can get his blood, I will give you nukes if you want. If you want money, I can give you 5 billion dollars. All of them live in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in North Salem."

Kingpin read the list and his brows furrowed. He knew Wolverine and Professor X. But, the money was too enticing.

He put his hand forward and asked, "Pleasure doing business, what may I call you?"

The red eyes of the masked man looked into Kingpin's eyes as if checking his soul, "Ravenflame."
