Chapter 120 Nightcrawler and Iron Man
Life will always experience all kinds of lows, such as the confusion of adolescence, the setbacks of youth entrepreneurship, and the mid-life crisis.
It seems that these are unavoidable things. Tony Stark's life is smooth sailing, except that he did not get along with his father when he was a boy, and then his parents died unexpectedly.
After that, his life has been very smooth, the Stark Group is getting bigger and bigger in his hands, and his life is getting more and more extravagant.
Countless glory and halo were added to him, and at a certain moment he seemed to be a saint, a living legend.
But all of this has been broken recently, not to mention being kidnapped in Afghanistan by the Ten Rings Gang, but they actually came to New York to kidnap themselves.
And the most important thing is that they actually let themselves strip. There was a ******* on the streets of New York. Tony Stark's worst fear happened, his nude photos were taken by some media and nearby Citizens took pictures. This has made it very difficult for him recently.
As long as you open the website and the news, you can always see news about your own nudity.
"Mr. Stark has two other small websites to publish your photos and videos." Jarvis was reporting to Tony at his home in Malibu.
"Buy them and delete everything," Tony said with a twitch.
"Yes sir." Jarvis quickly went to execute the order, without any doubt, whether the decision was right or wrong.
"Tony, you've been buying a lot of these kinds of sites lately. I don't think this is the solution." Ethan and Tony are working on the new MK3 in the basement of his home.
"But I can't let these people ruin my reputation like this." Tony was welding a small part. "Give me the doctor that wire over there."
"I think Dr. Tony is right, the more you do this, the more people will want to take money off of you. We've paid almost thirty million dollars for nothing." Pepper Pepe at this time He also went downstairs to the laboratory.
"Never mind, I'm not short of money anyway." Tony Stark didn't even look up, tens of millions of dollars were not in his eyes.
"Can't you handle things as seriously as a real boss?" Peibo said weakly, holding his forehead.
"You are Miss Pepe, the executive president of Stark Group. I think I should delegate power to you and don't need to manage too many things." Tony found a perfect excuse for his laziness.
"Okay, your guest is upstairs, you'd better have a good talk with him." Pepe calmed down the feeling of wanting to quarrel with Tony, and said in a calm tone as much as possible.
"What guest? Oh~ I remember, the guy in the gray hoodie, his name is Nightcrawler, right?" Tony thought for a while before he remembered.
"You'd better be polite, someone else saved your life." Pepe reminded.
"But it also made me ugly." Tony shook his head.
Li Jie was sitting on the sofa in the living room in Tony's luxurious and modern villa, admiring the beautiful coastline while waiting for Tony's arrival.
This time the invitation was sent by Tony. After the street kidnapping case, Tony tried to find Li Jie and Spider-Man.
Spider-Man Peter is still easy to find. Unlike Li Jie, who usually only comes out at night, Spider-Man also acts during the day.
Tony directly followed Peter, who was wandering the streets of New York, in a steel battle suit, and asked Peter to send a message to Li Jie to come to gather.
To be honest, Li Jie didn't know why Tony Stark was looking for him. But I do need to talk to Tony, as Nightcrawler.
The invitation this time was a non-public private invitation. Tony obviously avoided all the people monitoring him, including the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and privately invited Li Jie to his villa.
"How do you like the scenery here?" Tony Stark's voice came from behind Li Jie.
Li Jie looked back and saw that Tony actually came out wearing a full set of MK2 armor.
"Very good, but you also wear this at home?" Li Jie pointed to Tony's armor.
"It makes me feel safe standing with you, like you never show your true face." Tony pointed to Li Jie's hood.
"Okay, thank you for your invitation, Mr. Tony. So what are you asking me for?" Li Jie sat directly on the sofa, as calmly as in his own home.
"It's actually very simple. I want to know where your mysterious power comes from?" Tony said straight to the point.
"You think I'll tell you?" Li Jie waved his hand, when did Tony become so naive.
"I think we can talk, come with me." Tony didn't say anything, but motioned for Li Jie to follow him. "Don't worry I didn't set up the trap like in the movie, we just need to talk in a safer place."
Li Jie followed Tony into his underground laboratory. There is a fully enclosed space here, and there is no fear of any eavesdropping and leaks.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Nightcrawler." Tony pointed to the only two chairs in the room.
"Then please let me state the purpose of my invitation to you this time."
"I know you and your buddies have been doing a lot of things in New York recently, like cracking down on some punks and stuff."
"Of course the most important thing is to save me." Li Jie couldn't help rubbing his cheeks, Tony's arrogance was really speechless.
"And I found something very interesting, if everything you do is straightened into a single line." Tony waved his fingers gently, and a full 3D projected image appeared in the room.
"Judging from what you have done, you actually saved me twice. Including the matter in Afghanistan, it is also related to the changes in New York." Hussanno has confessed in SHIELD.
He spoke out about everything that happened, including the kidnapping in Afghanistan and what followed. Tony also got relevant information, and it is not difficult to infer the cause and effect of these things from all things.
Instead, Li Jie heard it for the first time, and he watched the branches and progress of all events shown on the projection.
"Actually, you have already provoked the Ten Rings Gang. Although most of this gang operates in Asia, it is not difficult for them to come to the United States."
"They're very troublesome to deal with, as you should have seen. And what you've done actually made some people in the government pay attention to you."
"I don't know why they haven't come to you yet, but some have started looking for me, or spying on me."
"That's why we need to talk here, and I think our purpose is the same. We all want to protect civilians, I can solve big problems, you and Spider-Man can solve small problems on the street."
"I think we can be mutually beneficial, and I expect you to work for me." Tony finally got to the point.
"Become an employee of Stark Group, I can use my ability to cover you. We can cooperate, and I can even provide you with the latest technology products of Stark Group, which I think should be better than the robotic arm you use. "
Tony took off the MK2's mask, revealing his face to show his sincerity.
But Li Jie still shook his head. "Thanks Mr. Stark, but I don't think it's a good offer."
"You probably don't know how messed up you are with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Homeland Security Strategic Counterattack and Logistics Agency."
"Our team is not fully committed to the philosophy of the organization."
"If my team and I were hired by you, and you ended up being hired by this organization, I'm sure our cooperation would be very unpleasant."
"Just like your performance today, see me in steel armor."
"Every member of my team will have privacy, but they will not treat their teammates as enemies. In fact, this means that you don't believe me, and of course I don't believe you either."
"If we really want to form a team, we will definitely not get along."
"That's really a pity." Tony touched his nose and said.
"But don't we all live in this country? Sometimes it's not unacceptable to be at the mercy of the government."
"But sometimes the government is wrong."
"Your mind is dangerous, Nightcrawler."
"But my actions are safe, Iron Man."
In the end, Tony could only spread his hands and say. "So you can't talk about today's topic?"
"No, I think at least we can talk about another issue." Li Jie said seriously.
"what is the problem?"
"About your body's palladium poisoning." Li Jie's tone was solemn.
"How did you know?" Tony put on the mask of the steel armor again.
"There are many ways, such as sorting out enough information to make a proper analysis." Li Jie's mouth cannon said without any guilty conscience.
"So you have a solution?"
"There is a way, but it comes at a cost."
"Don't try to get any information about the steel armor from me."
"I don't need this kind of rubbish." Li Jie's words angered Tony.
"Ha~ tattered, do you dare to fight with me now?" Tony said very upset.
"Have you demolished your home here? You might as well be concerned about how long you can live." Li Jie shook his head.
Tony has tried many methods, but the amount of palladium in his body is still rising, and he needs a real solution.
"Tell me what conditions you want." Tony was ready to be slaughtered.
"This is my list, I need these equipment." Li Jie took out the list that he had prepared. "Many things I know are not on the market, but I believe there will be in Mr Tony Stark's private collection."
Most of the things in this list are written by Peter, and a small part is written by Zeng Chu.
There are a lot of experimental equipment, as well as the tools and materials needed to manufacture various equipment. Many things are expensive, or even not available on the market at all.
Studying Harry's blood required a well-established laboratory, and Peter was a genius, but he also needed plenty of tools.
Not to mention that more and more complicated things are bothering Li Jie, and he needs to urgently improve his strength.
And relying on external power to improve, relying on technology to quickly achieve combat power is the easiest way, of course, this is on the premise of having Peter.
Because Peter can manufacture the equipment in various drawings, and Li Jie obviously does not have this kind of genius.
"So that's all you need?" Tony said, glancing at the list. Although these things are expensive, they are not very expensive things for his life.
"Yes, of course, I also hope to gain your trust. I don't want us to face each other with swords one day." Li Jie pointedly said.
"Well, I can agree to these conditions, these requirements are not excessive." Tony readily agreed to Li Jie's conditions. "So what is the method?"
"I got a piece of information that your father, Mr. Howard Stark, left you a legacy." Li Jie recalled the episode he had seen. "It's a new element."
"All the information is sealed in SHIELD. I don't know why they want to detain your father's inheritance, but I think you can get it back." Li Jie buried it between SHIELD and Tony invisibly. got a hole.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to be a good person, forget it. I will do this good person first.
"Really?" Tony asked suspiciously.
"I don't have to lie to you, you can hand over these devices to me after confirming the authenticity." Li Jie shrugged.
Tony isn't a fool, he won't do anything he thinks is inappropriate, and especially doesn't like being threatened.
All of Li Jie's proposals were made after knowing Tony's temper. The secret meeting between the two did not alarm SHIELD.
Because Tony tried to cover up all the traces himself.
It was not until Li Jie left that he suddenly remembered that an important matter had not been done. "Oops! I forgot to laugh at him going bare-ass on the streets of New York!"
