Chapter 2 The Sky Has Collapsed
Vega's full name is Vega Lee. He is a tall, handsome, middle-aged man with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. He is also an unlucky guy who has traveled through time twice.
In his previous life, he was playing a game when his computer suddenly exploded and killed him. When he opened his eyes again, he possessed the body of a novice priest who had died from poisoning in the Grand Forest of the Arad Continent.
That wasn't the end of it. After adventuring with his companions for several years, they encountered a terrifying storm—the likes of which are seen only once in billions of years—while attempting to travel to the realm of gods through an alternate dimension. To protect his companions, he became lost in the alternate dimension and, after countless perils, miraculously arrived in this unfamiliar Marvel world.
Having been in this world for almost 10 years, he has discovered that although the world's trajectory is similar to that of Marvel movies, the similarity is not high, and it also incorporates many plots and characters from other movies.
He had been working as an exorcist in Texas. Last year, after Tony Stark uttered those words that brought tears to the eyes of countless Marvel fans, realizing that a new era was about to begin, he brought his student Bana to New York and settled down in the famous Hell's Kitchen.
Vega's idea was simple: since he couldn't leave this world, he would actively participate in the tide of this world's times.
There are countless Marvel universes, and he dares not gamble that justice will always prevail over evil in this world, nor is he willing to let others control his destiny.
"Don't go out tonight. We need to get up early for the pier tomorrow morning. No need to prepare breakfast; we'll eat in Chinatown." Vega finished a plate of garlic abalone one bite at a time, gave Bana a few instructions as she ate her pan-fried salmon, and then got up and went up to the third floor.
It was still early, and Vega, wide awake, went back to his bedroom, turned on the TV and game console, and started playing the single-player game "Batman: Arkham Asylum," which he had just bought.
A dozen minutes later, Vega, who was controlling Batman in close combat with Poison Ivy, paused for a moment, then started moving again.
The next day, Saturday morning at six o'clock, Vega drove Bana to Chinatown for breakfast, and then drove to the parking lot at the pier to meet George and his daughter Gwen.
George Stacy is the deputy commissioner of the Manhattan Police Department, and his daughters Gwen and Bana are classmates.
Vega met George when he went to school for Bana's parent-teacher conference. They both loved fishing and went fishing together a few times. The two, who were equally skilled at fishing, became good friends.
After exchanging greetings and retrieving the yacht keys from the hotel staff, the group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the dock.
A white flybridge yacht, 28.5 meters long and 7 meters wide, bobs up and down with the waves at the dock; this is Vega's private yacht.
The four boarded the yacht. Vega did a quick inspection of the yacht and checked the food and fresh water reserves. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers and that nothing was missing, he started the engine and steered the yacht away from the dock and headed forward.
"Lee, there aren't any fishing rods on the ship, are there?" After Gwen and Bana went to the lower bedroom to put away their luggage, George came over with a box of cigars and a crystal ashtray.
Vega: "What else can you do at sea if not fish? What, are you worried about not catching any fish and embarrassing yourself in front of Gwen?"
George scoffed dismissively: "Me, afraid of losing face? Someone who's caught a 461.42-kilogram bluefin tuna, would I be afraid of losing face? I'm afraid you won't catch any fish and will lose face in front of Bana."
Oh, by the way, does Bana know that the fish you brought home were all taken from Ms. Hilton's fishing box? Hahaha~!
Vega's face turned green: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
George: "I'm talking nonsense? Hahaha~, yesterday the video of you taking fish from Ms. Hilton's fishing box and putting them into your own went viral, and I bet the video has spread all over the world by now."
"What?!" Vega stared wide-eyed at George in disbelief. After a moment of stunned silence, he released the round rudder and ran towards the lower deck of the yacht.
"Hey, hey, hey, the boat's still moving!" The boat jolted violently, and George, who was swaying, quickly dropped his half-cut cigar and grabbed the helm.
Vega ignored him and quickly ran to the stairwell, where he jumped down.
Standing at 1.9 meters tall and weighing 85 kilograms, Vega landed on the wooden turning steps without making a sound. He then jumped onto the deck, rushed into the master bedroom next to the stairs, and then rushed to the desk to flip open the laptop screen and press the power button.
A few seconds later, the specially made laptop booted up. Vega trembled as he opened the browser and immediately saw a screenshot on the homepage of himself squatting in front of Monica, catching fish out of the fishing box.
"Damn it, which bastard took this picture!" Vega was furious, his eyes bloodshot. He quickly opened the news and started reading.
The video, released by the Global Times at 8 p.m. yesterday, fully documents Vega taking fish from Monica's fishing box and putting them into his own.
Overnight, the video had been viewed more than three million times. Vega kept searching and found that, thanks to the spread by many media outlets and busybodies, the video had indeed spread all over the world.
"Damn it, this is so embarrassing!" Vega's face turned bright red. The video didn't capture his face, but it did capture Monica's appearance. Most anglers who like to fish in New York Bay or go out to sea from here would recognize her, and many people would also recognize Monica. If they thought about it for a moment, they would know that the person in the video was him!
No, I have to find a way to delete this video immediately, or those bastards will laugh themselves to death!
Thinking of this, Vega took out his phone, opened his contacts, found a number, and dialed it.
The phone rang only once before the other party answered. Before the other party could speak, Vega launched into a tirade: "What kind of work are you doing! Why is Monica's video online?"
"Delete all videos and news articles immediately! If they're still online in half an hour, you're not allowed to attend tonight's auction, and you're not allowed to attend in the future either!!!"
After finishing his sentence, Vega hung up the phone immediately. Then he heard Gwen's voice from the doorway: "Uncle Li, what video is that?"
Vega turned stiffly toward the doorway, where Gwen and Bana stood, looking at him curiously.
"It's nothing," Vega hurriedly closed his laptop, then forced an awkward smile and said to the two, "Ahem, have you put your luggage away? Do you want to go see a movie and sing karaoke? Going to the flybridge for the view is also a great option."
Vega's reaction indicated that the video online was definitely not ordinary. Gwen and Vega exchanged a glance, then turned and ran back to the bedroom they had chosen.
Seeing this, Vega almost burst into tears: "It's over, the sky is falling!!!"
