Chapter 324

“Interesting!” Ling Xiao drove the car, with a chuckle at the corner of his mouth. He never thought that Jessica’s elder sister Patricia also possessed special ability, which Jessica had never mentioned. , There is no relevant memory in her mind.

It seems that this ability was either awakened by Jessica after she disappeared; or she had this ability before Jessica entered the Jones Family. No matter what, this is a very Interesting things.

Patricia was already aware of Ling Xiao when he first began to carefully perceive Ling Xiao. You must know that even the eyes have energy, let alone the more specific mind energy.

Ling Xiao is still a little curious about Patricia’s stamina power, but now is not the time to explore. When Jessica returns to New York, he has a chance to know the details.

Jessica has been refined into Dao Soldier by Ling Xiao. The reason why she was asked to go to New York at this time was because of the original plot direction on the one hand, and on the other hand, she wanted her to go back and inquire about The Hand. The details.

Ling Xiao really didn’t think that the last time he played oneself, he noticed the person from The Hand. He wondered if this was a play directed and acted by Baron Strucker, and he also wondered if Viper was framed. Baron Strucker, also guessed whether it was Alexander Pierce inside SHIELD or John Garrett’s hands and feet, but he really didn’t think that the one who really made the idea of ​​oneself turned out to be The Hand.

But it’s normal to think about it. The Hand’s Five Leaders was born in K’un-Lun in this World. After learning the details of the Battle of New York, it’s natural to be interested in Ling Xiao But things.

It’s just that they have considerable wariness to Ling Xiao, so they throw a piece like Killgrave to explore the way. And they didn’t expect that under careful design, Killgrave would still die. And just after they talked on the phone, they finally showed a weak spot in a little panic.

Perhaps they didn’t think it was a weak spot, because the ninja they sent was extremely careful to investigate around the warehouse and the New York Police Department. It was impossible to start Ling, who had been under surveillance by them. Xiao.

Indeed, Ling Xiao not at all found out that they were investigating secretly, and found that they were investigating another person, that is Hydra’s Los Angeles Branch Head Mina Tander.

The Hand’s actions were hidden from the Los Angeles Police Department and SHIELD, but how could it be hidden from the dark organization Hydra, which is also in the dark.

Since The Hand had a secret plan for him, Ling Xiao would naturally not sit still. Since The Hand’s nest is in New York, Ling Xiao naturally wants to send Jessica back, and this is just the 1st Step he did. The Hand, huh, you will pay the price.

Time is getting closer to Christmas, and the holiday season is getting stronger. Ling Xiao suddenly received a call from Pepper this day. She wants to discuss some things about Tony with Ling Xiao. Tony’s recent state is quite a bit wrong.

There was no way to talk in detail on the phone, so the two arranged an appointment next morning for an interview at the Stark Industries Angeles Branch.

After experiencing the New York alien invasion, the Stark Tower in Manhattan was almost in ruins. It was impossible to put into use in the short term, so Tony temporarily moved part of the functional departments of the headquarters of Stark Industries to Los Angeles, he and Pepper also stay and work in Los Angeles.

Ling Xiao and Pepper had an appointment time of 0.416666667, so when he drove his own pickup truck to the Stark office building, people were coming, people going, and he took out his own identity certificate. Ling Xiao walked in and went up to the top floor, outside Pepper’s office.

It seems that she is having guests now. Ling Xiao greeted Happy Hogan while watching the movement inside.

Standing in Pepper’s office is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks like a successful man in a valuable checkered suit with short blond hair.

It’s just that what makes Ling Xiao feel a little strange is that his and Pepper’s actions seem a bit too intimate, so Ling Xiao whispered to Hogan and asked: “Hey, Happy, the guy inside is Who, why have I never seen it before?”

“It seems to be a guy named Killian.” Happy seemed to hesitate, and there was a three-point cover in his words.

“Killian?” Ling Xiao blinked, his voice was a little high, which caught the attention of a young man sitting across from him. Although he was sitting a little lazily, when Ling Xiao mentioned Killian’s name , His temperament suddenly became very sharp, so Ling Xiao noticed him at once.

Ling Xiao immediately discovered the strangeness of this person, as well as the powerful energy of his within the body like a furnace.

Killian, Ling Xiao somehow remembered who he was. It turned out to be Dr. Killian who invented Extremis.

At this time, a piece of news on the TV screen not far away attracted everyone’s attention. It was the news that the President awarded James Colonel Rhodes Iron Patriot the title.

In this period of time, because a terrorist called “Mandarin” dominates the headlines of various news media on the TV network, this “Mandarin” not only planned to attack several US Military overseas bases, and killed hundreds of people. The American soldier and his family members even hacked into the United States TV News Network and publicly provoked President Ellis. In his presence, they executed a high-ranking US military officer, which caused an uproar.

Although the term of the current President has not expired, the just-concluded presidential election has confirmed that President Ellis will be re-elected successfully. For President Ellis, who is proud of one’s success, such an incident is definitely no less than pouring cold water on his face. One can imagine the anger.

It is in this situation that the President officially launched James Colonel Rhodes, in charge of handling this matter in the name of Iron Patriot.

Such a piece of news calmed the lively Stark industrial senior staff. Ling Xiao noticed that Hogan’s eyes had been secretly paying attention to another young man sitting diagonally opposite. In the event of an accident, he should be Killian’s bodyguard.

He screamed at Hogan next to him, and said with a voice that was just enough for the guy on the opposite side to hear: “Happy, I bet that guy on TV can’t survive half a month, how? Do you want to take a gamble?”

“Ling, I don’t see how confident you are in Colonel Rhodes.” Hogan looked at Ling Xiao amusedly, slightly nodded, and said, “Well, since If you want to give me some gifts, then I’ll bet with you. If I win, you have to promise me that you will get the company to work in the next month, and you must arrive on time and leave on time every day. You have to wear your own identity sign.”

Ling Xiao knows that Hogan has just taken up the post of Security Supervisor recently. Because of the newly updated security regulations, there is a little dispute with Pepper. His purpose is to be oneself. Come and support him. The entire Stark industry knows Ling Xiao’s true identity. Apart from Tony and Pepper, only Hogan is left.

“Okay!” Ling Xiao chuckled, nodded, and said: “If I win, I want you to tell me all about Tony’s romantic past.”

“This …” Hogan couldn’t help but hesitated. Ling Xiao’s request was not excessive, but it made Hogan feel very embarrassed. If Tony knew about this matter, he had to make him look down on it, but he swept away the opposite young man. At a glance, Hogan gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: “Just say that.”

“Do you know, Happy!” Ling Xiao and Hogan gave a high-five to confirm the bet, and then lightly said with a smile: “I have full confidence that the guy on TV will definitely not survive half a month.”

“Why?” Hogan didn’t understand why Ling Xiao was so sure. It took several years to chase down Ben** with the full strength of United States. And now this guy named Mandarin, on the level of cunning definitely not inferior to this, how could it be so easy to kill him?

“Not why.” Ling Xiao said in a tranquil voice: “Because I know another person whose nickname is Mandarin. He will never let anyone else steal his name. Of.”
