A few days later, in the CEO's office of Stark Industries.
When Tony came out of the laboratory, the first thing he saw was Lin En sitting on his luxurious sofa, leisurely sipping red wine.
"I say, are you very free recently? Why do you come to me every day?"
Tony poured himself a glass of wine and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Of course I have something to tell you."
Lin En snapped his fingers, and there was a commotion in the temporary kitchen. Then, a roujiamo that was automatically wrapped floated out and slowly flew in front of Tony.
Tony was already used to the wonders of magic.
He took the roujiamo and took a bite. His mouth was filled with fragrance as he said contentedly,""Don't say that we're business partners now. Even if we're not, on account of the delicacies you've prepared for me these past few days, if there's anything…just say it!”
"It's not time yet."
Lin En smiled, his eyes fixed on the television.
Suddenly, the television screen flashed.
" Breaking news, live from Washington. The Oval Office of the White House was attacked by mutants. The president and vice president were assassinated..."
Tony's expression changed.
" Mutants assassinated the president?"
He finished the roujiamo in a few bites and looked at Lin En in disbelief.""Don't tell me…this is what you've been waiting for?”
" How is that possible? I'm not a prophet. How can I predict…"
Lin En glanced at him and shrugged innocently."" It's just that there have been a lot of downloads of X Daily recently, and the X-Men documentary has been spreading a little too widely. Under such circumstances, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with this and want to jump out and cause trouble..."
" What do you mean?" Tony was skeptical." Someone assassinated the president to frame the mutated humans?"”
"It's not a framing."
Lin En pointed at the surveillance footage on the television."The assassin is indeed a mutant."
" So, you came to me for help to find this assassin?" Tony was even more confused.”
"Why would I bother you with such a small matter?”
Lin En drank the red wine in his glass and slowly stood up. He stretched his back and said,"Of course, we have to trouble the famous Iron Man to capture them!”
"Looking for me? Capture someone?"
Tony subconsciously wanted to say," Stop fooling around."
Although he had just upgraded the Iron Armor, he still had no confidence in facing all kinds of strange spells from Lyn.
Lin En probably didn't even need to do anything to catch a mutated human assassin, right?
The X-Men would be able to handle it!
He still needed her?
Wait a minute!
A thought flashed in Tony's mind, and he suddenly seemed to understand."You want me to be a witness?!”
"That's right!"
" Yes," Lin En nodded honestly." The X-Men don't have the power to enforce the law. Even if they catch the assassin, it's very likely that they'll say it's a self-directed show to confuse the people…"
"Tony, the reputation of the X-Men is very important!”
Tony's expression was a little strange.
He had recently gathered some information about the mutated humans. With Jarvis's ability, he could even read the highest level of official secrets at will. Therefore, he knew a lot of secret things.
Looking at the mutated human community, the major organizations that had appeared, whether it was the Hellfire Club, the Mutant Brotherhood, or the X-Men, all had one characteristic:
Ignoring the rules!
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the mutated humans had never thought of seeking rights for the mutated humans within the rules of human society.
However, Lin En was completely different.
He took the initiative to integrate with the laws and even used them!
This could be seen from what he was doing now!
"Alice, connect to Katie…"
Lin En took out his phone and called Phantom Cat."You're at the academy now, right? Record a video for Professor Charles and the others and send it to the Mutants Channel. Tell them that the president's assassination is a big deal. The X-Men will catch the assassin within a day and find out the truth!”
"Understood!"
The Phantom Cat had been waiting for a long time and replied without hesitation.
" After the video is released," said Lin En," ask Professor Charles to use the brainwave amplifier to locate the assassin. The X-Men will set off immediately…"
Hearing this, Tony subconsciously wanted to put on his battle suit and meet up with the X-Men to capture the assassin.
However, he didn't expect Lin En to say,""Go to the NYPD and report that you found clues about the assassin!”
“NYPD？！”
Tony was dumbfounded and thought he had heard wrong.""You sent the X-Men to look for the NYPD?!”
According to the information he had, Professor X seemed to have some connections in the CIB. If he wanted to cooperate with the government, he should go to the CIB!
How did it get involved with the NYPD?
Before he could figure it out, Lin En had already disconnected the call and made another call."Mr. Eddie Brock, according to our previous communication, if you can appear at the entrance of the NyPD headquarters within half an hour, you will get explosive news that will make the whole world remember your name.”
"Gift Crab Special! Mr. Lin En, are you really not playing with me?”
A slightly irritable voice came from the other end of the phone.""Although I'm a reporter for the Global Times, and although I desire a promotion and a raise to become a top reporter, what makes you think that…I would believe someone I've never met before?!”
A reporter from the Global Times?
Tony was even more confused.
Wasn't he just going to catch a mutated human assassin? Why did he have to find a reporter?
What was this guy, Lin En, trying to do?!
"Mr. Brock, you are missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
"As a media practitioner, I believe you've seen the news and know about the president's assassination, right?" said Lin En calmly.
Before he could finish his sentence, the breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly quickened.
"Is this news related to the president's assassination?!”
Eddy Brock cried out in shock, then said at a speed that Tony could not imagine,""Wait for me! I will definitely appear within ten minutes!"
Then, there was a series of clanging sounds, mixed with the occasional "F * ck" and "Shit"!
Lin En hung up.
Tony couldn't hold it in anymore. He looked at Lin En and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
"Lin En, you're different from all the other mutants…"
"It's too f * cking different!"
