Tom nodded: "Tony Stark, I don't think Pepper Potts will be allowed to contact us again." ”

For Pepper Pepper, Tom still admires it very much. He had a famous saying about this in his previous life: Behind every successful man there is a great woman. In Tom's opinion, Pepper belongs to that kind of great woman.

The long legs also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the two of us really get along." Work and feelings can all be said. It's a shame that we won't be able to communicate in the future. ”

"Huh..."

After glancing at the serious Long Legs, and thinking about the fact that most of his mutant subordinates have been in charge of Long Legs lately, Tom didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Long Legs and Pepper.

"How's it going, have all the stocks been sold? How much do we earn? ”

Back on his yacht, Tom turned on the ship's computer as soon as he could, and then sold all the shares he had that had grown wildly since Tony Stark's return.

Behind Tom is an open 42-inch TV. On the TV, it was Tony Stark's press conference that was going to be held.

Surrounded by a pile of kneeling or sitting memoirs, Tony, leaning on the podium, said something that not only made Obadiah Stan behind him, but also the whole world crazy: "··· I've decided to dismantle Stark Industries' weapons behind closed doors, with immediate effect... ”

"It's tripled, and I don't make much..."

Looking at the long legs with a happy face, Tom still wisely did not remind the other party - according to the current relationship between Tom and Long Legs, Long Legs should say how much you earned, not how much we earned.

·····

"Tom, three more fellow mutants want to join us, do you think we can accept it?"

"Decide what, our Dawn is still far from being fully occupied, anyway."

The money was earned, and the formalities were completed. Tom and Long Legs moved to their newly purchased fishing boat, which they named the Dawn. The Dawn, metaphorically, naturally hopes to bring mutants and a new life to the ship.

As for Tom's yacht, it was put into the bilge of the cabin. Compared to the previous residence, it is now used more to pick up people. Within a month of saving Tony Stark, Tom and his forces had increased by seven more.

"Yes, our Dawn can accommodate two hundred and seventeen people at full capacity, and your Linglong Tower can accommodate more than a hundred people, but we only have seventy-two people on board at present. Okay, I'll let the Thunderbird and Polaris pick them up later in the yacht. ”

Listening to Tom's words, let her have an idea, and her long legs nodded happily. In fact, since moving to the fishing boat for a month, the daily life on the ship and the management of the mutants have always been in charge of the long legs. Tom himself, on the other hand, returned to his usual routine of cultivating most of the day before.

"Hey, things are not going well..."

Watching his long legs leave the roof of the second deckhouse, Tom, standing on the edge of the terrace, leaned on the railing and sighed as he watched the mutants moving on the wide deck below.

The new life has settled down again, and his power is slowly increasing. It stands to reason that everything about Tom is going in a good direction. But judging by the recent month, Tom's mood has not been very good.

The reason is that Tom is extremely unhappy with the embodiment of Dinghaizhu. So far, Tom has only been able to embody less than one-tenth of Dinghaizhu at most. Success is simply a long way off.

Second, it's Tony Stark, who they rescued before. That playboy doesn't know what the hell he's doing, it's been more than a month, and Mark II still hasn't heard from him at all, let alone Iron Man.

When I watched a movie in my previous life, I came out just casually? Why is the world so hard?

"Hey, garbage Tony Stark, what else is the most outstanding genius of this century..."

Sighing again, this feeling of losing control of the future is what makes Tom feel most depressed.

After all, Tom believes that if he wants to make a difference in this Marvel world, he relies on his two biggest advantages, namely his foresight of the future and his magic weapons.

Now Tom's prophetic preconception through the time crossing is actually inaccurate, how can Tom be at ease.

You know, the plot of Tony Stark's Iron Man One is not only his own life that has changed for this world. It also means that the superpower forces in this world have gone from the dark to the light with his sentence I am Iron Man.

Before Iron Man appeared, just like before and now, most of the people who were active in this world were super criminals. As for superheroes, it's not that they don't have any, but they don't dare to expose their existence in the open. Because they don't know what the local government will do to them when they learn of their existence.

The tragic experience of mutants in the matchmaker country really frightened many people. Because there are quite a few superheroes, they themselves can't tell if they are mutants or not. As for asking the government to help them identify? Even if they're not mutants, they're afraid they won't be able to come back.

It was only after Tony announced to the world that he was Iron Man that the superheroes hiding in the shadows discovered: "It turns out that the government is not planning to kill us all, slice and study." ”

Thus, the world can be regarded as normal. The cop catches the thief, and the superhero deals with the supercriminal.

Tom had hoped that Iron Man would appear earlier, so that the increasingly fierce and clear superpower confrontation between good and evil could help mutants attract and reduce some attention and burden, and he would be able to develop secretly.

Who knows, because Tony Stark's Iron Man is like a difficult birth. The mutants, whose eyes are on them all over the world, are becoming more and more dangerous.

This can be seen from the experience of mutants who have defected to Tom in the past month.

The media and military are becoming more and more unscrupulous about the hunt and slaughter of mutants, and they used to avoid ordinary people. But now, once mutants are caught, most of them are killed directly in front of ordinary people.

"Trash Tony Stark, that's a real disappointment..." Having said all that, it's just right to blame Tony Stark.

After cursing Tony severely, Tom walked off the terrace and back to his practice room above the wheelhouse, on the second deck. According to the schedule, it was time for him to practice the manifestation of the sea pearl.

The fishing boat, named the Dawn, has five floors from top to bottom. They are the wheelhouse on the first deck, Tom and Long Legs' bedroom on the second floor, the North Star and Twinkle bedroom, and Tom's training room. The first and second floors below deck are the crew's accommodations. At the lowest end of the floor, there is the power room and storeroom.

"Perhaps, I should temporarily give up the innate spirit treasure like Dinghai Zhu for the time being, and then manifest some powerful acquired spirit treasures? After all, with the advent of Iron Man, the world is about to become more and more dangerous. And with my current strength, it's hard to say whether I can beat the Hulk. ”

Walking on the way to the embodiment room, Tom thought with a frown.

·····

"I think we should do something right now against the mutants, and without Stark Industries' weapons support, our pursuers simply won't be able to deal with the mutants who are getting tougher and harder."

In fact, Tom's judgment was basically correct, when Tom was worried about whether to give up the embodiment of the pearl for the time being. In a completely enclosed room, a middle-aged man with white hair and slightly chubby was discussing how to deal with mutants with six black holographic projections of their appearance and clothing.

If Tom was there, he would have recognized the middle-aged man with white hair and slightly chubby as Colonel William Stryker, who was in charge of the mutant army.

"Wouldn't it? Without Stark Industries, wouldn't we still have Hammer Industries and Osborne Group? Some weapons and equipment used to restrain mutants are just that, for whom is it not the same? ”

To William Stryker's words, a dark shadow replied disapprovingly.

"No, you don't understand the gap." William Stryker waved his hands angrily, angry that his words didn't get heeded:

"Yes, the same weapon, whether it is Stark Industries, Ham Industries, or even the Osborne Group, can make it. But the problem is that a piece of weaponry is not just manufactured, it is more important to research.

Every time a mutant with new abilities appears, we need the appropriate weaponry to deal with that garbage. And to study these weapons and equipment, if Stark Industries takes a day, then Hammer Industries will use a week, and Osborne Group will even use a month.

Don't you know the difference? From a day to a week, or even a month. Let's not talk about how many of our subordinates will die, after all, they are all hired by the government of the flower matchmaker, not our own people.

The important thing is that because of this unwarranted extra time, by the time we get the corresponding weapons and equipment, the mutants we need to deal with will probably disappear long ago. ”

"So, what the hell are you going to do Stryker, do you want to start a full-blown war against mutants?"

The six dark holograms fell silent, and after a few breaths, one of them asked again.

"Yes, I plan to start a complete war against the mutants in the Matchmaker's Country, and kill all the mutants in the Matchmaker's Country at once." William Stryker nodded, his eyes revealing madness:

"I'm going to take the opportunity of Professor X to visit Magneto, and then raid Xavier's Talent School in Westchester after taking Professor X. Magneto and his Brotherhood have already been defeated by us, and then take down Professor X and his X-Men. Having lost the two mutant bosses, the rest of the mutants have nothing to worry about. ”
