Heroes of Marvel - Chapter 108
Heroes of Marvel 108 Digging A Pit For SHIELD
In the luxury office, Tony has had a brief and serious conversation with Lin Rui for more than ten minutes, and Tony has also talked about his plans with Mirage Knight. In general, Tony hopes to have a stable connection with Mirage Knight. On one hand, Tony can provide Mirage Knight with better equipment and advanced technology; on the other hand, Mirage Knight will help Tony build a special organization to protect civilians from the threat of evil forces. Of course, the initiative should be in Tony’s hands. He doesn’t want others to use his own things and not listen to him.
Lin Rui wasn’t surprised to hear about Tony’s plans, because Tony was already doing it, and the Iron Man is now the guardian of the American people. So far, Tony has played a good role in this image. However, it is impractical for Lin Rui to listen to Tony from now on.
“So, I’m like mercenary? You pay for the equipment and then I do something for you? Sitting in a chair, Lin Rui turned his legs upside down and said lightly. That’s his simplest understanding of Tony’s intentions. Of course, he’s much more advanced than those mercenaries. Maybe it’s a super mercenary?
“No! No! No! We are a cooperative relationship. But I’m giving you money and better equipment. Don’t I have a say in matters?” Seeing Mirage Knight pointing out his plan, Tony shook his head and explained.
Putting his legs down, Lin Rui felt it was a bit ugly to pose in Phantom Suit. But Tony doesn’t care what shape he’s concave in.
“It’s the same for me. I would appreciate it if you would provide me with funds and better equipment. As for the future, I can’t do it if I listen to you. I’m not as foolish as the little Spiderman kid. And there’s another important reason I don’t want to get too close to you right now.” Sitting slightly straight, Lin Rui said slowly.
“What’s the reason?” Lin Rui’s answer was also expected by Tony, who was obviously not Peter. However, the ‘another’ reason that Lin Rui said is what Tony interested. Does he not like him?
“Because you and SHIELD are too close. Maybe it is not your intention, but they have been deeply involved with you and they will continue to do so. As for me, I don’t have much affection for SHIELD, I don’t want to expose myself for your reasons.” Finally, Lin Rui is about to start pitting S.H.I.E.L.D.
“S.H.I.E.L.D.? You know them too? How much do you know about them? Why do you say that?” Tony was a little surprised to hear the name that came out of Lin Rui’s mouth and asked several questions.
Before Coulson found Tony, Tony never knew there was such an organization. And after Nick sought Tony’s help to form an Avengers alliance, Tony also sought out the organization but got nothing. Apart from the information Nick gave Tony, he was not clear for the time being.
“S.H.I.E.L.D., a global anti-terrorism organization hidden in the dark. Terrorist organizations here are not guys with guns for them, but organizations and guys that pose a greater threat to the World. They are also responsible for monitoring and controlling individuals who are far more powerful than ordinary people, such as you, Iron Man.” Without elaboration, Lin Rui simply explained to Tony the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“As for why I don’t like them, this is a secret. You may know it later. Anyway, I will not involve too much with SHIELD. If I am you, I will not entangle too much with them either.” After explaining S.H.I.E.L.D., Lin Rui also reminded Tony.
“Why? Listening to what you said, their purpose seems to be similar to mine. Moreover, such an organization should welcome people like me.” Tony did not understand why Lin Rui doesn’t like S.H.I.E.L.D. and asked again.
“Of course, their purpose is good. However, a large organization always has internal problems, and the internal problems of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not a little bit.”
“Internal problems? It seems that you know more about them than a little!” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony suddenly sighed.
Now, Tony feels it’s necessary to change his mind about the Vigilante in front of him. He thought it was just a man with some sense of responsibility and some strength. But Tony didn’t expect that he would know so many things he himself didn’t know. Tony didn’t like the feeling that it was totally out of his control.
“Maybe, so if you really want to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D., we’d better keep a distance.” Seeing Tony pondering, Lin Rui said with a smile. Lin Rui is slowly raising his status in Tony’s eyes so that his voice will become more and more important. Using the information that Tony didn’t know to pit S.H.I.E.L.D., Lin Rui feels he’s doing a good job.
“It seems that I really need to think about it. I’m glad that you would share this news with me.” With a nod, Tony said he was thinking about it.
“Since you have asked this, I can give you a piece of important information for free. After all, you should you already have Palladium Poisoning now?” Seeing that Tony has slowly settled in, Lin Rui intends to strike while the iron is hot.
!
When he heard Lin Rui suddenly mentioning his Palladium Poisoning, Tony’s eyes flashed and his feet were placed on the box next to him.
“How do you know about that?” Now, Tony finally feels a little threatened. Only Ivan, who also made the miniature Arc Reactor, and Jackson know about his Palladium Poisoning. Why does Mirage Knight know about it?
“You don’t need to know that, anyway, I won’t go around telling anyone about that. And, not only do I know you have Palladium Poisoning, but I also know how to cure it.” Just as Tony stared nervously at Lin Rui. His next sentence made Tony even more shocked.
“Treat Palladium Poisoning?! How is it possible? As long as I still wear this piece on my chest for one day, this thing can’t be cured.” A little calmed down, Tony went on. Even the Low-Level Holy Spring Water that was given to Tony before was only temporarily, letting his body recover. Palladium still continued to erode his body.
“Of course I know, so you need a new element to replace Palladium. I think Mr. Stark has been looking for a long time.” Smiling, Lin Rui said faintly.
“You even know that? Who the hell are you?!” Tony couldn’t calm down anymore, all of his secrets had been laid bare.
“Now what you should be concerned about is not my knowledge, but the new element that can replace Palladium. Don’t you want to know where it is?” Head tilted, Lin Rui asked calmly.
“Do you really know?!” If the Mirage Knight really knows where the new element that can replace Palladium is, Tony really doesn’t have to worry about the threat of death.
“Of course I know, I don’t talk nonsense. And it’s in the organization I’ve been talking about.” With a nod, Lin Rui changed his position on the chair. “In fact, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. was your father: Howard Stark. When your father died, he left a legacy in S.H.I.E.L.D., and you will find what you’ve been looking for in that legacy.”
“My father? Founded S.H.I.E.L.D. The new elements that can replace Palladium are in S.H.I.E.L.D., in what he left behind?” Lin Rui’s successive news explosions almost overwhelmed Tony, he could hardly believe it.
What he had been looking for was hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D., and they kept it a secret. His father’s legacy did not come to him and S.H.I.E.L.D. put it away. Thinking of this, Tony’s heart burst into flames.
“Yes. I think, with Mr. Stark’s current friendship with SHIELD, you should be able to get back Howard’s legacy if you go to them. As for whether you can find new elements in it, I believe you will not be disappointed.” Feeling the ups and downs of Tony’s emotions, Lin Rui pushed the waves around again.
After a while, Tony calmed down from the news. He had taken his feet away from the Iron Man Armor Box. “Thank you for giving me the news. It’s very important to me.”
“No, I’m glad to be able to help Mr. Stark, too.” Knowing that Tony had slowly trusted himself, Lin Rui said with a laugh.
In another world, Nick would have told Tony the news himself and then Tony would’ve paid a big favor and joined the Avengers. Now, Lin Rui told Tony that Nick, who should have been a good man, became a cold-blooded fellow in an instant. I don’t think Tony would like him anymore.
“So, is Mr. Stark still willing to fund me?” Lin Rui asked again when Tony thought about taking back his father’s legacy from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony Stark is a big local tycoon. If Lin Rui’s League of Defender wants to develop rapidly, it must have a lot of money and more advanced technology. Stark’s funding is obviously a good idea.
“I think, I will be happy too.” Looking at Lin Rui, Tony replied faintly. In response to the news that Lin Rui shared with him today, Tony had every reason to help Mirage Knight instead of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“OK! So today’s meeting will end happily. Mr. Stark, It was nice talking to you. I’ll contact you again.” Now that everything has been said, Lin Rui doesn’t want to stay any longer. Maybe this place is under S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance right here. As he spoke, Lin Rui got up from his chair and walked to the window.
“It was good to meet you too, Mirage Knight.”
“Good-bye, then, Mr. Stark.” Finally, Lin Rui greeted Tony and jumped out of the window.
