Chapter 68: Radical General [Asking for Recommendation]
"Boss, a 'golden ratio of roasted wheat'."
In New York, in front of the Stark Industrial Building, there is a constant flow of people in front of the conspicuous red food truck.
Agent Phil lined up in the line, dressed as a diner, but his gaze naturally crossed the Stark Industrial Building in front of him.
"Looks like Tony Stark won't be coming to the company today."
Seeing that today it is Tony's personal secretary Pepper Potts who comes to Stark Industries alone.
Phil made a judgment in his heart, retracted his gaze, and put it back on the food truck in front of him.
The smell of roasted wheat on the tip of his nose made the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent swallow subconsciously.
Theoretically, as a professionally trained agent, you generally won't be swayed by a little food, unless it's delicious.
Obviously, the food sold by this Chinese food truck is the kind of food that even a professional agent like Phil can't stand anymore.
Taking the roasted wheat, Phil glanced at the diner driver in front of him who obviously had a face with a story, and the professional habits from the agent made him subconsciously speak, and said in the tone of a regular customer: "Boss, it seems that you have just come to New York." ”
The action of rolling the dough in his hand subconsciously paused, and in the face of Phil's inquiry, [Xie Lu] made a silent appearance on the surface, and then said: "So what? ”
[Xie Lu]'s reaction successfully aroused Phil's interest, and he couldn't help but say: "It's nothing, I just think that with your cooking skills, since you can make such delicious dishes, it seems that the food truck should not be your first choice for work." ”
"The world of cooking is not as simple as you think."
In this regard, [Xie Lu] did not respond positively, but lowered his head and whispered in a just right voice.
"What?"
Blinking, Phil couldn't help but ask.
"Hey man," However, before the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent could make any further inquiries, the plump bald black man behind him couldn't help but complain, "Don't you see that there are so many people waiting in line at the back, why don't you hurry up and give up your spot." ”
Turning his head and glancing at the growing dissatisfaction of the team behind him, Agent Phil had to give up his intention to ask again.
After all, he still has a task on his body, and he can't casually cause trouble.
"I'm sorry."
Leaving the dining car, Phil turned his head to look at the stout man in the car.
As an agent, he had a hunch that there must be some kind of secret hidden in the other party.
[Legend from Phil Coulson +40]
"Of course there are secrets, and even if there aren't, I'll make you feel like they are."
In the antique shop, looking at the legend that popped up on the data panel, Li Ran couldn't help muttering.
……
"Aren't you awake?"
After the battle in the port, they met again, even if in the other party's mind, he and Ah Xing were completely unrelated existences, but looking at Jessica who appeared in the antique shop, Li Ran's expression was a little subtle.
Simply, the other party was drunk at the moment and didn't notice the strangeness on Li Ran's face.
"I'd rather be drunk all the time."
Taking a big gulp of the wine bottle in her hand, Jessica's mood was always low: "In this way, at least I won't think of those irritating things." ”
"What's wrong?"
As the party and protagonist of the port battle, Li Ran naturally knew very well what the incident in Jessica's mouth was, but in order to avoid exposure, he still pretended to be unaware and asked, "What happened?" ”
Under the influence of alcohol, Jessica did not hide the content of the port battle, and directly revealed: "We fell into the trap of the Hand and some people died because of it." ”
"We had no choice but to watch him fall, and all of this was because of me, shit! I hurt him, and if I hadn't been so stupid and easily fallen into the trap of the Hand Society, if he hadn't been trying to save me, maybe, none of this would have happened......"
For this reason, Jessica went to the guy who revealed her information and beat the other party hard, basically without three or five years of hard work, the other party couldn't get out of the hospital normally.
But so what, Ah Xing will not come back to life because of this.
[Legend from Jessica Jones +110]
Raising his eyebrows and glancing at the legend on the panel, Li Ran didn't expect that his actions would make Jessica so sad.
Looking at this petite figure pouring wine into the wine bottle, Li Ran felt a little guilty in his heart.
However, guilt is guilt, it is an important plan related to the legend, and Li Ran will not expose his shortcomings for the sake of that guilt in his heart, revealing the secret that he is Ah Xing.
Restraining his emotions for a moment, Li Ran continued to play his role as a third party as the liaison of the Assassin Brotherhood.
"Jessica, I regret what you have suffered. However, I want to tell you that death is not the end of everything, and in the eyes of the Assassin Brotherhood, death is the beginning of everything, representing hope and faith in salvation. I think that the one who saved you will fight with you with the same faith as the Brotherhood. ”
"A common belief."
Putting down the bottle in her hand, Jessica muttered to herself.
In the antique shop, as these words continued to sound, Jessica's originally confused expression became more and more sober, grabbing her messy hair, she looked up at Li Ran in front of her: "I hope that the Assassin Brotherhood can help us fight together and defeat the Hand Clan." ”
Hearing this, Li Ran subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
Although Jessica's proposal was a little unexpected, for Li Ran, it coincided with the drowsiness and the pillow, which was exactly what he wanted.
Before, Li Ran was thinking about how he should reappear in front of the defenders after Ah Xing left.
Although there was already a change in his heart, on the surface, Li Ran still maintained his proper style as the liaison of the Assassin Brotherhood.
"I've said before that the Brotherhood won't easily attack the Brotherhood without a single kill."
"Haven't your Brotherhood always been doing the right thing, killing one person to save thousands of people, then why don't you dare to make another move, perhaps, all this is just your excuse, the so-called Assassin Brotherhood is just a coward trembling in the face of the powerful power of the Hand Brotherhood."
Jessica's tone was very impulsive, obviously wanting to anger Li Ran.
Therefore, Li Ran also made a thoughtful expression quite cooperatively, and nodded silently.
"Understood, I'll relay your words to the Brotherhood."
"But I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."
"Anyway, thank you."
Slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, Jessica thanked softly.
