Chapter 165: ‘Mandarin’ Appears

White House, Oval Office!

Before the Avengers dismantled SHIELD and Hydra, members of the Senate, the military and even officials from various states were implicated to varying degrees.

Now the president is discussing with his team how to win these vacant seats for his party.

Suddenly, the buzzing sound of a mobile phone vibrated, and the vice president took out his mobile phone. When he saw the phone number, his face changed. He made an embarrassed gesture to the president and the others present, and walked straight outside to answer the phone.

"You shouldn't call at this time. I'm meeting with the president at the White House. Damn it, do you know how much risk I take by answering your call?"

The vice president walked to the door, away from the Secret Service bodyguards at the door, and then picked up the phone and said nervously.

"Don't be nervous, my vice president, don't forget our agreement. I'm in a little trouble now. I hope you can help clean up some traces!"

The voice on the other end of the phone said indifferently.

"What?"

The vice president suddenly said loudly.

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him before he lowered his voice and whispered.

"Damn it, you messed with the Avengers and captured Pepper Potts and Natasha Romanoff. Do you know what the nickname of that damn Qin Xiao is here? Madman, a madman who can fight an entire army alone. Why mess with him when you can mess with anyone else!"

The vice president wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a few deep breaths before continuing.

"I regret making a deal with you now. Your actions will kill all of us!"

"You think too highly of those clowns in strange costumes? Avengers? They are nothing in my eyes. Besides, I arrested them for you. You know that our products are not stable enough and the success rate is too low. Is there any better experimental material than an Avenger trained in the Red Room?"

"What's more, we still have Pepper Potts. At the critical moment, we still have a genius scientist who can be used at any time. If I inject Pepper with the Extremis virus, then Tony Stark will have to help us solve the damn problem of high temperature out of control."

"My dear Vice President, you don't want your little princess to suddenly explode while playing with the puppy in the garden after having a pair of healthy legs, right?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the critical moment now, I would wait for those clowns to come to us!"

The Vice President fell silent when he mentioned his daughter.

The other party was not in a hurry and waited for him to speak.

After half a minute, the vice president carefully asked about what happened and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the vice president made two more calls, then he straightened his clothes and expression and stepped into the Oval Office again.

…

"We are taking the Huaxia Grand Theater as the center and directly investigating all the monitoring equipment on more than 30 streets around it. But what's interesting is that nearly half of the monitoring room equipment is blank during this period of time regarding the monitoring content within one hour after today's explosion!"

"I don't believe there can be such a coincidence. The only explanation is that someone has wiped out all traces and doesn't want us to find them!"

"Also, bosses, I need the intelligence sharing and certain command power of the 'widows'. I will keep an eye on every move outside and try to find the traces of Natasha and Miss Boz as soon as possible."

Agent Hill, who was pulled over by Hawkeye, simply joined the Avengers at Hawkeye's suggestion and automatically took on the intelligence work.

"Although there is no news about them for the time being, there is also good news!"

Agent Hill said while taking out a tablet and playing a video.

The video shows a Middle Eastern man with a long beard who looks Muslim at first glance, claiming responsibility for the explosion at the Huaxia Grand Theater.

The video editing is very confusing, with scenes of him praying for some Muslim children and shooting directly through the photo of the US President with a rifle.

At the end of the video, there is a close-up of the man, who speaks provocatively to the camera.

"Qin Xiao, Tony Stark, Avengers, superheroes, you claim to have saved the world, this time... let's see if you two can save your beloved women!"

"Damn bastard!"

Tony punched the table and then looked at Qin Xiao.

"Don't look at me, the picture is too messy, and there is no specific address, otherwise I would have opened a wormhole to go there!"

Qin Xiao was unhappy, he was telling the truth, although he knew it was Killian's doing from the beginning, but he didn't know his specific location at all.

Just when Qin Xiao and a group of people were at a loss in the sky base, the hospital called and Happy woke up. Although he was seriously injured, he was finally out of danger.

Tony immediately took Qin Xiao to the hospital.

There were a large number of reporters at the entrance of the hospital. Qin Xiao and Tony were surrounded by reporters almost as soon as they appeared.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Stark, do you have anything to say about the terrorist attack by the Mandarin? Do you have the confidence to save your girlfriend?"

"The Mandarin has announced several explosions before. Will the Avengers launch a full-scale war against him?"

"If they use hostages to force you to kill some innocent people or plan some terrorist incidents, will you compromise?"

Countless microphones were almost inserted into their mouths.

Just as Tony was about to have a fit, Qin Xiao snatched the microphone extended by an unknown reporter and crushed it to pieces in front of everyone.

"I'm in a very bad mood right now, very bad. I really don't know if I will compromise, but I know that if I lose control because of my anger and accidentally kill a few reporters, will you, the police station, Want me?"

Qin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and the reporters around him took several steps back.

"We will definitely rescue him. I want to warn the terrorists who did this. You are a group of cowards, trash, and cowards who only know how to capture women. If you want to challenge the majesty of the Avengers, come directly to our base. I Waiting for you right here!”

Qin Xiao waved his hand towards the sky, and a huge wormhole appeared in mid-air. The sky base went directly from New York to Los Angeles, suspended less than a kilometer in the sky.

Sky Base can be seen from all over Los Angeles.

"Do you know what's the difference between us? We are tigers. The whole world can see where we are, but no one dares to challenge us head on. You are just a group of mice hiding in the shadows, and you don't even have the courage to show your face!"
