In the middle of a winter-covered forest in the outskirts of Russia was a mansion of elegant design and scale, while finely worn down through centuries of aging, and within the estate laid a powerful man. He was dressed in the lion skin vest, exposing his hairy muscled chest. He had long dark raven hair in the style of dreadlocks, while a thick mustache and black beard covered his face. His arms were as wide as mighty oak trees, covered in battle scars ranging from cuts and burns to bullet holes. He crossed his hands as he stared into a window, looking out into the winter-covered forest. His face was stoic and yet filled with anticipation.
'I hope that you have some good news, brother?... I am looking forward to hearing your report,' the Man spoke in a polite yet deep Russian accent as another man appeared beside him. He is revealing himself to be Dmitri, the shield agent who drove Parker's school tour bus in Europe.
'He exceeded my expectations, ' Dmitri responded while he showed his sibling his eye-phone reviling the video footage of Parker's battle with Mysterio.
'Took on an entire drone army armed with machine guns, rocket launchers, shock blasts...while having a limp leg to boot and disabled Gargan's whole squadron with a single virus. Aside from the top tires like Hulk and Thor, his power far surpasses that of any of the Avengers, and on top of that, his intellect has the potential to reach that of even the late Tony Stark.
'I see..' The older Man said as he continued to watch the video. Now reviewing his battle against Scorpion, his powered armored goons, and when he shut them all down with a single command from E.I.D.I.T.H.
'Still, he is just a child that has yet to reach his full potential...Which I may as well assist with. If only to make him a worthy prey for the hunt' the Man said with a sinister smile as he began walking down the mansion's stairs.
'Forgive me for taking so long to give you my report, brother. Between giving Fury false information as his insider and making sure I was not followed, I wanted to have without a shadow of a doubt that this child was worthy of your time.' Dmitri explains in reverence.
'For I would not dare to disappoint you,' Dmitri finished with a bow. At the same time, the older Man waved his hand dismissively.
'Forgiveness is not needed when you have never disappointed me, Dmitri; at least now I no longer have to waste myself away with these...disappointments'
The Man gestured his hand to the Grand hall of the mansion, showing that a massive battle had taken place with walls broken apart, pieces of the floor uprooted, and the roof was blown apart, and in the middle of the hallway, where a pile of bodies numbering in nearly over a hundred, with many of them turning to pieces. Beside the corpses laid alien tech weapons and wore armor similar to Scorpion's goons; only theirs was colored silver.
'Such a pity they thought they could kill Me with such things, thinking that they were invincible with such weaponry...only to forget they were still human, what a waste.' The Man said to his fallen foes in disgust and pity before he and Dmitri left the mansion and the bloody battle site behind them.
A pretty short chapter. But it was all necessary to was to introduce our main villain. Who's keeping an eye on Spider-Man fquiteuit a while and will be one of the superhero's greatest foes yet?
