NOVEL WEB Chapter 46: Chapter 46 : Don't Trust People Easily
---
"It's Agnes!"
Wanda's beautiful eyes widened as she exclaimed upon seeing the woman in the picture clearly.
"You know her?"
Nick Fury glanced at the photo, his expression unreadable.
"Well, she's the aunt of one of Finn's tenants. We met today. I didn't expect her to have such a side," Wanda muttered, staring at the screen in disbelief. "She's a very kind woman and treats me well."
"Wanda, there are no strangers in this world who will treat you well for no reason."
Nick Fury's deep voice carried a weight of experience and caution.
Wanda frowned slightly and fell silent. She carefully recalled her interactions with Agnes. Nothing seemed unusual. The woman was always warm and friendly.

RUMBLE!
A deafening thunderclap echoed across the sky. In an instant, the clear blue sky above the Thames darkened ominously.
"Here they come."
Nick Fury, alert to the change, stood up and walked toward the window.
"Is it the Elementals?"
Wanda felt a growing pressure in the air.
"It's more than just the Elementals."
Agent Maria Hill pushed the door open, holding a tablet that displayed real-time data.
"Everything matches previous Elemental attack patterns," Hill reported grimly. "But this time, the readings indicate a massive convergence. The energy levels are dozens of times stronger than before!"
Outside the window, a black streak on the horizon moved rapidly toward them, staining everything in its path with darkness.
BOOM!
In mere seconds, the entire sky above the Thames was covered in dense, swirling black clouds. A violent storm raged, and within its vortex, an ominous shape formed—a monstrous, twisted visage resembling a demonic mask.
The river below surged violently, whipped by gale-force winds that sent towering waves crashing against the banks. The London Bridge groaned under the pressure, swaying as though it might snap at any moment.
---
BOOM!
A colossal figure emerged from the river. Its massive form was composed of swirling storms, crackling fire, and flashes of eerie blue lightning. As it rose, a devastating shockwave spread across the city. Vehicles were hurled into the air. Passersby were sent tumbling like ragdolls.
"RUN! EVERYONE, RUN! THE DRIVER IS GONE!"
Panic erupted on the bridge.
"It's them again!"
Screams filled the air as terrified civilians scrambled to escape.
On a sightseeing bus, Mr. Harrington, Peter Parker's teacher, paled at the sight of the monster. He didn't care about appearances anymore—his only thought was survival.
Beside him, another teacher, a self-proclaimed materialist before this trip, looked utterly horrified. He had come to London for a vacation, not to be caught in yet another supernatural catastrophe.
"Why does this keep happening to us?!" he blurted out.
"Goddamn it, even if it's fake, this is way too real!"
Ned Leeds muttered as he stumbled out of the bus.
"Don't worry," MJ said, trying to reassure herself more than anyone else. "It's all fake."
BOOM!
A street lamp snapped and crashed down just inches from them.
"Okay, I'm starting to believe it's real."
Ned, still in shock, stared at the broken lamp. If he had taken a few more steps forward, he would have been crushed.
"Less talking, more running!"
Mr. Harrington wiped the sweat off his forehead, took the lead, and shouted for the students to follow.
The bridge beneath them swayed violently in the storm, threatening to collapse.

Meanwhile, in a glass corridor overlooking the disaster…
"Yes… this is perfect."
A figure stood in the shadows, watching the carnage unfold. His lips curled into a twisted smile.
"This is an Avenger-level disaster. The more destruction, the more casualties… the more people will remember me."
Mysterio—Quentin Beck—observed the chaos with satisfaction. Below, civilians ran for their lives as vehicles were tossed like toys.
"Wilhelm, it's time for me to make my entrance."
"Copy that," a voice responded through the comms.
A fleet of drones activated.
Above the monstrous Elemental, a vibrant green glow formed in the sky. Then, a figure clad in emerald armor soared downward, energy beams erupting from his hands.
"I WILL AVENGE MY FAMILY AND MY WORLD!"
Mysterio descended like a hero, unleashing a barrage of energy blasts at the raging entity. Each explosion lit up the sky, reflecting off the terrified faces of the fleeing crowd.
"MJ, look!"
Ned pointed at the battle overhead.
"It's Mysterio!"
"A hero, finally!" MJ exhaled. "Come on, let's get out of here before something else explodes!"
Mr. Harrington grabbed them both and kept running. His priority was getting his students to safety, not standing around watching the spectacle.

Inside a high-rise office…
"I'm going to help."
Wanda turned sharply, heading for the door.
BEEP! BEEP!
Nick Fury's phone rang.
"Wait."
He glanced at the caller ID and answered.
"It's Happy."
On the other end, Happy Hogan's voice was frantic.
"Fury! Remember when Tony told us about that guy surfing in the sea, but he wasn't actually in the sea?"
Nick Fury frowned. "Happy, what the hell are you talking about?"
"I mean, don't believe what you see so easily!"
Fury's expression darkened. "Happy, I don't have time for this."
He ended the call abruptly. His gaze flickered toward Wanda and Hill.
"So… I was right?"
Wanda had listened to the conversation, her crimson eyes glowing faintly.
"Yes."
Nick Fury clenched his jaw. "We've been played."
The so-called 'Elementals'—the grand battle—Mysterio himself. It was all smoke and mirrors.
Wanda's face twisted with anger, the scarlet glow in her eyes intensifying. "So he wasted my time?"
"Wanda, wait."
Fury halted her once more, pointing toward the horizon.
---
In the distance, two figures hurtled through the sky at incredible speed.
FWOOOSH!
As they approached the London Bridge, one figure lashed out with a brutal kick.
CRACK!
The second figure was sent hurtling downward like a missile. The impact was devastating—shattering through the bridge's structure, sending debris flying.
BOOM!
The bridge gave way. Vehicles tumbled into the raging waters below. Screams filled the air.
Wanda's eyes narrowed as she observed the chaos unfolding. "That… was Shadow."
Fury's gaze darkened. "We've got company."
