Chapter 1

United States, New York, Queens.

In a house by the roadside.

"You finally made it! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"Sit down, come on, help yourself."

George opened the door, letting the visitors into his house, then sat on the sofa and said cheerfully to the tall man in black in front of him.

After saying that, George lay down on the sofa with an expectant look.

The tall man in black: "???"

"Mr. George, we are serious businessmen and do not accept payment in kind..." The tall man in black, though his mouth twitched, still adhered to the principle of being polite first and said.

"I'm from the 'Live and Die' Financial Company. I came to ask why you immediately left Washington for New York after borrowing money from our company, and to register your new address..."

George, somewhat speechless, sat up from the sofa and looked at the tall man in black. "You say I borrowed money from you? Do you have any evidence?"

"Oh?" The tall man in black narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in his eyes. But adhering to the principle of business, he still patiently said.

"Yes, here is the ledger, and I have the promissory note with your signature..."

"Alright, alright, don't bother. Who keeps a ledger these days? It's clear you're not a serious businessman." George waved his hand weakly. "Yes, I borrowed from a loan shark. I'll tell you the truth, I never intended to pay it back. You know, freeloading."

The tall man in black's eyes flashed with danger.

The gang members behind him looked at George in surprise, involuntarily drawing a sharp breath.

Oh~ My God, how dare this young man?

Not only did he run to New York right after borrowing from them, but even when the boss came to collect, he was still so arrogant.

Does he really think the law in the United States can protect him?

The last "victim" who was so arrogant now has grass three meters high on his grave!

They couldn't even imagine what kind of fate this young man named George would face.

The leader of the gang, the tall man in black, had a dark look on his face, his eyes full of anger!

"Mr. George, are you joking? I hope you reconsider your words. Let me introduce myself, I'm Bart, from the Wild Wolves Gang in Washington."

"Nobody who owes money to our 'Live and Die' Financial Company has ever dared not to pay! Or do you really think we... can't kill you?"

Bart, from the Washington gang, pulled out a severed finger in a plastic bag from his pocket, playing with it as if by accident.

The cross-section of the severed finger was still dripping with fresh blood, clearly it had just been separated from someone's hand, the threat was obvious!

Now, Bart was only speaking to George out of patience. If this were in Washington, George would have been shot long ago!

But unfortunately, this was New York.

New York also had its own gangs. If they were just here to collect debts, the local gangs might not interfere, but if they were to kill someone in New York, the local gangs would demand an explanation.

Seeing their boss Bart put his hand on a lump at his waist, the gang members who came to New York to collect debts also put their hands on the guns tied to their waists.

This scene clearly showed that they were carrying weapons, and they were loaded!

The United States was not like other places; gun control here was extremely lax. Ordinary people could buy guns on the street, and the gangs had a large number of unregistered "black guns."

According to Bart's estimation, a normal person would kneel and beg for mercy and to pay the debt after seeing this scene.

He could also take the opportunity to double the interest on the loan, and with the $100,000 he lent out this morning, he could collect $300,000 on this trip, making it a very easy profit.

Bart was very experienced in this. In his "financial company," he had encountered many such people who tried to default on their loans using the law, but without exception, they all ended up paying back the principal and interest.

But the next development was completely unexpected for Bart...

The young man in front of him, George, not only showed no fear, but his face was full of anticipation???

Even...

If Bart wasn't mistaken, George's eyes actually flashed with excitement when he saw them reach for their guns?

"I borrowed the money with my own abilities, why should I pay it back!"

"Want to kill me? Go ahead, don't be shy!"

George stood up straight, hands on his hips, and said confidently.

Bart: "???"

The gang members: "???"

This...

The situation was not right!

Is this young man crazy or fearless?

Could it be a trap?

No! Something was off!

...

The story began the night before.

George Huang, originally named Huang Qiaozhi.

He was not originally from this universe, but a Chinese person who detested gambling and drugs.

He was drinking beer and eating hotpot with friends after work when he suddenly found himself in the body of a Chinese-American named George Huang.

After the initial panic, George began to gather information.

George Huang was also an orphan, poor, and had nothing but his good looks.

He discovered that Steve Rogers, the real-life hero who ended World War II according to the U.S. government, actually existed here!

The time was before Tony Stark became Iron Man.

Clearly, this was not the original Earth, but the Marvel universe...

At first, George refused to accept this.

As an ordinary person, surviving in the dangerous Marvel universe was as difficult as winning the lottery or the Chinese national football team making it to the World Cup final.

It was simply impossible!

Not to mention the flying superheroes and supervillains, even if the bald-headed Ancient One discovered him, she probably wouldn't show mercy.

George had already thought of 108 ways to die.

Perhaps due to his strong will, or a delayed cheat, or some other reason.

This morning, his golden finger finally arrived—a billion resurrection coins.

No fancy functions, just one simple and clear function.

99999999 resurrection coins (1 used)

Each resurrection coin, when used, randomly enhances a certain number of attribute points. When all resurrection coins are used, the reward is to become the master of the Marvel universe and freely travel between the original world and the Marvel universe.

However, suicide would only trigger the resurrection effect and not enhance attributes.

With the golden finger and so many resurrections, George was no longer sleepy!

Although he couldn't commit suicide to exploit a bug, George was still very satisfied.

Living to old age in the Marvel universe might not be possible, but...

Dying was something he could do!

Moreover, becoming the master of the Marvel universe and being able to travel between the original world and the Marvel universe was a strong enough attraction for George.

What's the point of being successful if you can't show off? Being able to show off back home was George's motivation to become stronger!

George decided right then and there to start living a life of seeking death.

Seeking death to show off back home!

So...

Where in the Marvel universe was the most dangerous?

Undoubtedly, New York! There was no better place to seek death than New York!

Gangs, supervillains, alien invasions, Ultron, Thanos... any of them could kill him hundreds of times over.

Dying and coming back to life! This was true life and death!

The future was promising!

Lack of travel funds? That was no problem!

No money? I'll freeload.

So, early this morning, George borrowed an "unsecured credit loan" from the 'Live and Die' Financial Company as travel funds.

Although the interest was high, he never intended to pay it back, so what did it matter?

No one understands seeking death better than me!

After planning, George took the $100,000 he freeloaded and his self-written "108 Ways to Seek Death" and confidently boarded a flight from Washington to New York.

Sure enough, as George expected, the Washington gang followed him to New York as soon as he settled in Queens. He warmly welcomed these "philanthropists" who sponsored him, and the scene just described unfolded...
