Chapter 555: Anthony's Intelligence
Once the mutants start to wreak havoc in any way they can, the damage they cause is beyond anyone's imagination. Even General William Stryker, the initiator of this incident, was a little caught off guard, let alone others.
"Still doesn't work?" S.H.I.E.L.D., on the Helicarrier, the One-Eyed Director asked Tony Stark and the others who were operating on the side.
"No way!" Tony Stark, who was wearing a bandage, frowned as he kept sliding the virtual screen with one of his still movable hands: "At least not now, that mutant who controls the network is really blessed in this regard, I need time." ”
Tony Stark feels like he's been in a bad mood lately, and now he's been kidnapped and sent to Afghanistan to experience what it's like to be captive.
Then he had a relationship with himself for decades, and when he saw himself grow up, his godfather Obadiah betrayed him again. With a guy named Killian who came out of nowhere, plus that bastard from Ivan Vanko, he and his Stark Group were counted together.
After finally settling down, he became entangled with a terrorist organization called the Ten Commandments Gang. And then joined a superboy organization.,The mission turned out to be the fuse of an all-out war between mutants and Homo sapiens.,And if it weren't for his cleverness,I'm afraid people would be buried directly on that nameless island!
And now, obviously they are all seriously injured, Captain America and those guys can lie in the sanatorium of the medical institution under S.H.I.E.L.D. to heal, and he still has to fight with injuries to save the world, for a while, Tony Stark, who has always believed in science, began to wonder if he was stuck with something dirty, otherwise how could he be so unlucky!
Of course, the one-eyed director didn't know the grief and indignation in Tony Stark's heart at this time, and when he heard that Tony Stark, who was the best in the bureau in terms of electronic technology, said the word no, his brows couldn't help frowning even tighter. After a moment of silence, he hurriedly asked, "How long will it take?" ”
"At least one day," Tony Stark casually picked up a cup of coffee from the side, took a sip, and then continued, "And that's still an estimate if the mutant on the other side doesn't continue to act." ”
"One day!" The one-eyed director's voice suddenly rose, and he said to Tony Stark in a very impulsive tone: "Do you know how many things can happen in a day, not to mention anything else, just on Wall Street, do you know how much money you will lose!" ”
"Don't be angry at me," Tony Stark stopped what he was doing, turned his head and said with the same unkind face, "And you should be mainly responsible for the current situation, aren't you?" ”
The world's networks have collapsed, and all but a few of the most powerful forces in terms of cyber protection have suffered heavy losses.
Wall Street, in particular, as the center of gravity of the mutant side's attack, can be described as the worst. And Tony Stark's Stark Group is also a listed company, so naturally it can't escape the fate of heavy losses.
The One-Eyed Director had nothing to say about what Tony Stark said. After all, Magneto was the one that exploded in front of the Mutant Brotherhood and his people after he escaped from the Lonely Island Prison, without passing anyone's hand in between.
Therefore, no matter how much he quibbles, it can't change the direct relationship between Magneto's death and him, and this is an important reason why he has been held accountable by his superiors for a long time.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper," the one-eyed director also knew that he had just moved in, and it was really a little undeserved, so he loosened his collar and said sorry.
And Tony Stark also knew that now was not the time to worry about this, so he snorted coldly and began to work, while changing the topic and asking, "By the way, how did you investigate?" How exactly did Magneto get into the bomb in his body? ”
"No clue," Tony Stark's question was also something that the One-Eyed Director had always wanted to know, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to arrest all the people in Dokdo Prison and conduct the most rigorous interrogation in the history of S.H.I.E.L.D. one by one.
And the results of the review, naturally, disappointed him, except for the people who could have some other forces planted in the Lonely Island Prison, there is no clue about how Magneto was planted in the bomb.
"Can't find it?" Tony Stark couldn't help frowning when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head again and said, "Then have you checked his situation before he entered the Lonely Island Prison, as far as I know, this Magneto seems to have taken over from someone else, right?" ”
Others? The one-eyed director was slightly stunned, and then a flash of light quickly flashed in his eyes.
is the so-called obsessed with the authorities, and the phone in his hand has not been cut off since Magneto's death, and he has to deal with door-to-door inquiries and deployments to deal with the attacks of mutants. Therefore, the one-eyed director really didn't think like anything else, and now after being reminded by Tony Stark, it instantly reminded him of what he had been ignoring for him during this time.
"Anthony Stan?" The one-eyed director's thoughts flew around, connecting some things, and he really thought of some clues.
First of all, Anthony has this time, before he has Magneto for himself, Magneto has more than an hour in his hands, and this time is enough for him to plant several bombs on Magneto if he moves faster.
Secondly, Anthony has a reason for Magneto's death, others don't know, how could the one-eyed director not know, the feud between Anthony and Magneto.
Finally, the most important thing is that Anthony has this technology, after all, being able to plant a bomb in Magneto's body is definitely not something that ordinary organizations and people can do. After all, as a magnetic controller, as long as there is a little metal in the components of the bomb, it will not escape his eyes.
So the one-eyed director didn't talk nonsense, patted Tony Stark and the others on the shoulder and asked them to continue to think of a way, so he directly dialed Anthony's phone, ready to question.
"Director Nick," in Caesar's Palace, the phone in Anthony's hand suddenly rang, glanced at the caller ID on it, and then answered it with a chuckle and pointed out: "Long time no see, how can you have time to call me, as far as I know, you should be very busy now." ”
"Anthony Stein," Director One-Eyed didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Did you do the Magneto thing?" Do you know what a terrible consequence this can be! ”
Anthony's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and after being silent for a moment, he smiled and said, "What? Could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. relies on false accusations to do its job? Then this job is so good, why don't you also leave me a position and earn money for Susan! ”
"Don't pretend to be Anthony for me," the one-eyed director ignored Anthony's taunt and said coldly: "I checked over there in the Lonely Island Prison, and no one has ever touched it at all, and only your people have contacted Magneto before this, you give me a reason why I won't doubt you!" ”
"Joke!" Anthony was not frightened by the one-eyed director, and said unceremoniously: "What obligation do you have to let me give you reasons!" Dare to frame me just because of some of them, the chairman of the Stan Military Industry Group, the legal department of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been too idle lately and wants to collect a few more court summons and lawyer's letters! ”
In the face of Anthony's tough attitude, for a while, the one-eyed director was also a little uncertain in his heart, after all, although Anthony was indeed the most likely person, but those reasons were really far-fetched if they were carefully analyzed.
After all, why didn't Anthony do it sooner or later, but detonated Magneto on that island in front of everyone. And because the mutant side detonated the network, Anthony's group also lost a lot, and from the perspective of interests, it also makes no sense.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, the one-eyed director's tone slowed down: "But you can't deny that you are the most suspicious. ”
"Most suspicious, not necessarily," Anthony chuckled.
The one-eyed director's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then asked, "Do you have any information?" ”
"Why should I tell you," Anthony didn't answer, but asked rhetorically with a chuckle.
At this time, the one-eyed director had no room for bargaining, after all, the people above had already spoken, and if this matter was not handled well, his best result would be to retire directly, so he promised Anthony directly: "I will pay the price that satisfies you." ”
"Oh?" Anthony chuckled, "So generous this time. ”
"You and I don't have much time, stop playing tricks, Anthony," the One-Eyed Director said impatiently.
"It's okay," Anthony said directly without nonsense: "The mutant who assassinated the president is General William Stryker's person, and the person is now in a secret laboratory in the New York Military Region, and I believe that Director Nick should be bothered." ”
"What! William Stryker! …… This bastard! ”
