Outside the ball.
Tony put down his glass and walked out. He took a deep breath of the cold air outside and loosened his tie.
Happy, who had just parked the car, walked over with the keys. Tony, the car is parked."
"According to your request, the front of the car faces inward.”
"What are you doing outside?"
Happy asked in confusion.
The ball had only been going on for a little over an hour, and they were already out.
According to past experience, Tony would leave so early because he would be accompanied by a top female star or a beauty from another profession.
But today, he was alone.
Tony did not explain. He took the car keys and showed Happy his handsome back."Go home. Send Pepper back later.”
"Remember to tell her that I went back alone and didn't bring anyone else.”
Happy rubbed the back of his head, his face blank.
At this moment, Tony suddenly turned around.”
"Where's that special agent from the bureau? Why haven't I seen him all day?”
"I haven't thanked him properly for saving Pepper.”
"Coulson?"
"Yes, it's him."
"I don't know. He disappeared after the press conference.”
Tony tilted his head. Perhaps he was angry because he did not follow the script he gave him.
There's nothing to mourn.
Let's go home first.
Perhaps Tony had always been so unpredictable, so Happy did not think too much about it.
She walked straight back to the ball.
Just as he walked in, he saw Little Chili Pepper running out anxiously,""Happy, where's Tony?"
"He said he was going home and told me to tell you that he was going home alone.”
"Don't worry, he's really alone.”
Little Chili Pepper held her forehead speechlessly,""What is he doing? Forget it."
"Leave the next ball to me.”
Originally, everyone was supposed to play for a while and let Tony talk about the direction of Stark Industries 'development.
But now Tony was gone.
Little Chili Pepper could only accept this mess as usual and bring Happy back to the ball.
They were ready to start the next phase of the event.
Lin En looked at the red-haired girl in front of him and finally understood why many people were afraid when they looked at Jean Gray.
Because Jean was a mutated human.
She was the Phoenix Girl from the X-Men, a teacher at Xavier's School of the Prodigy.
At the same time, her body was imbued with the power of the universe, the power of the phoenix.
Most of the people who could attend this party were not ordinary people. Naturally, they knew about the X-Men and Academy X.
That was why they recognized Jean at a glance.
Not long ago, Magneto from the Mutant Brotherhood caused a big incident. (Plot of X-Men 1)
Almost all of the American society was against the mutated humans.
Even the righteous X-Men suffered greatly, so the moment Jean appeared at the ball, she immediately became the focus of the audience.
However, no one dared to greet him.
Now that she was in front of Lin En, the others could not help but look over.
"Look, that mutated human is going to get in touch with the famous author.”
"I wonder what the mutated human is up to.”
"It's none of our business. Stay away from them. What's wrong with Stark Industries? They even invited the mutated humans over.”
Soon, a vacuum formed around Lyn and Jean.
Jean had the power of the spirit, so she could hear all these rumors. Lin En's five senses had long surpassed that of ordinary people.
Even with the noisy music, he could still hear the whispers of these people.
"It seems that my arrival has brought a little trouble to Mr. Lin En. I'd better leave first.”
Jean said apologetically to Lin En.
Originally, based on Jean's personality, she wouldn't have participated in such a gathering of high-level personnel from a beautiful country.
In her opinion, most of the people here were full of hypocrisy.
However, she knew that the mutated human community had reached a point where it was difficult for them to move forward in society.
Therefore, she had to show up at such gatherings, hoping to convey the goodwill of Academy X to the higher-ups of Beauty Nation.
In exchange for them speaking up for the mutated humans.
This was precisely Professor X's attitude. After weighing the pros and cons with Qin, Professor X allowed Qin to attend the ball.
However, the attitude of these people tonight had already disheartened Jean.
Perhaps coming to this ball was a mistake in itself.
The reason why she went to Lin En was because she was Lin En's fan.
That was all.
"It's okay. Sit."
"It just so happens that I'm bored alone now. Let's drink and chat.”
Jean, who was about to leave, had a glimmer in her eyes when she heard Lin En's words.
"Mr. Lin En, aren't you afraid of me?”
"Why should I be afraid of you? Are you going to eat me tonight?”
Lin En asked Jean with a smile.
Jean's face quickly blushed.
He was so handsome…
Then, he sat beside Lin En. Lin En asked,"What wine?"
"I'm fine with anything, Mr. Lyn."
"Then have a cocktail with me.”
Soon, a glass of wine was delivered to Jean.
"Cheers!"
Jean could feel that Lin En only wanted to drink with her and had no other intentions.
She had never felt this way before.
The feeling of being treated equally.
After a few glasses of wine, Jean started to talk."Mr. Lin En, I'm your fan.”
"My favorite is the Terminator.”
"You're a girl. I thought you'd like Harry Potter more."”
"No, I prefer the Terminator."
"Because in Terminator, I saw the shadow of us mutants.”
"What do you mean?"
Jean looked at the ordinary people three meters away from them and said with a smile,""They are like robots controlled by Skynet.”
"The mutated humans are like humans who are struggling to survive under Skynet.”
Jean's tone became a little sorrowful.
"There's still a big difference. The humans under the Nets Above Snares Below have been looking for a way to break out of the situation.”
"Looking for a chance to survive the apocalypse.”
"What about us mutants?"
Jean's face was already flushed red from drinking, and she exuded a mature, mature, and mature aura.
" Let's not talk about Magneto for the time being. Under Professor X's leadership, you guys only want to be bootlickers."
