Chapter 860: Seeing Through (Thanks to Book Friend Silver Moon Demon Man for His Reward)
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Ling Xiao looked at the mechanic who appeared in front of him, and couldn't believe his eyes.
Just now, Thriller appeared in front of Ling Xiao with a mechanic, there was no Tumus, and there was no one else.
Phineas Mason, who was a little obese, barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face and said, "Yes, I hope to be able to join the Interstellar Immigration Service and then move my family to London...... No, it's better not to be London, the price of living in London is too high, Birmingham, Leeds, or Edinburgh, my son is going to university next year, I hope he can get into a better school. ”
It turned out to be for his son, Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Then Leeds, Leeds is the third largest city in the UK, there are three universities, the city's student population exceeds 250,000, the learning atmosphere is very good, even if the grades are not satisfactory, you can sponsor a sum of money to enter, I will arrange it." ”
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Phineas Mason finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while, he said a little self-deprecatingly: "The FBI people are eyeing us, Spider-Man is eyeing us, and Iron Man is also eyeing us, but Toombs still doesn't want to give up, he still wants to do a big one, but he doesn't realize the danger contained in it." To be honest, if I didn't have my family to drag me down, I might have stayed and continued to help Toombs, but ......"
"I understand." Ling Xiao nodded seriously, Phineas Mason looked like that kind of honest man, maybe he still had loyalty to Tumus, but this loyalty was under the pressure of the imminent threat and reality, and many people were already overwhelmed.
If it weren't for Ling Xiao's appearance, maybe Phineas would have continued to support him, but now his mind had softened.
Not everyone can survive in the face of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the US government, as the leader, the vulture's nickname is not in vain, and this nickname also shows his heart from another side.
Tonight is the last day of the three-day period that Ling Xiao said at the beginning, after tonight, Ling Xiao's promise will also expire, under all kinds of pressure, Phineas Mason had to find a horror and express his willingness to join the Interstellar Immigration Bureau, which is why there is this scene.
"Mr. Ling, I beg you to give Tumus another chance, he is just a bit stubborn." Phineas Mason is also a little too honest, and at this time, he is still interceding for Tumus, and such a person is definitely not a loss as a friend.
"Perhaps, that's up to Tumus himself, and if he did do it this time, then I can only say I'm sorry." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, even after several failures, Tumus still refused to give up, he got new information from a hidden channel, so he planned a new operation, if this operation was successful, then the benefits obtained would ensure that he was enough to turn the tables.
Half an hour later, Ling Xiao sat in the car on the side of the street, watching with great interest as Tumbs invited his classmates and their companions into the house one by one who had come to the banquet, and in the distance, Ling Xiao saw Parker driving over with Mary Jane and parked the car aside.
I have to admit that Tumus is a very scheming person, and in order to celebrate his daughter Liz winning the academic decathlon championship, and to celebrate everyone's luck in surviving that crisis, he asked his daughter to invite all the students who participated in the competition to the celebration at home.
Parker lost the spider suit that Stark gave him, and his mood was a little low, after all, compared to his own homemade spider suit, Stark's spider suit with intelligent systems was a real good thing, and he didn't even want to wear his own spider suit back.
I came to the celebration banquet today, although he didn't show up in time to participate in the game, but at the sincere invitation of Liz, he still brought his girlfriend with him, which can be regarded as a distraction, but when the door of Liz's house opened, he was stunned.
Although Parker didn't see Toomus's face during yesterday's battle, he only saw Toomus's side face through the glass outside the cabin, but when he first met Liz's father, he could be sure that Toomus was a vulture.
"You must be Peter." The sound of Tumus's greeting woke up Parker, who was a little stunned, and Tumus continued to introduce himself as he stretched out his hand, "I'm Liz's father, you can call me Ed." ”
"Hello, Ed." Parker subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously with Tumus, who said with some surprise: "It's a good hand, okay, please come in, it's almost time for people to come, and the celebration is about to begin." ”
With that, Tumus led Parker and Mary Jane inside, and Mary shook Parker's hand vigorously while looking at him with an inquiring gaze.
In this world, if it comes to understanding Parker, even Parker's Aunt May does not know him as well as Mary Jane, Parker's momentary hesitation just now has long been seen by Mary Jane, there must be something wrong.
Parker shook his head slightly, this is not the place to talk, there is something to talk about later, Mary Jane instantly understood what Parker meant.
There were a lot of people attending the banquet, including Parker's friend Little Fat Ned, several teammates who participated in the knowledge contest together, Michelle Jones, a recluse girl, and Eugene Eugene, a rich second-generation who has always loved to make Parker trouble. Lightning Thompson, Asian girl Cindy Moen, the instructor who participated in the competition, Mr. Harrington, and other school alumni, as well as their peers, have been waist-barred to the soft music.
Parker smiled at Michelle Jones, a recluse woman who gave him the middle finger, and then hugged Mary Jane onto the dance floor.
As to how Toomus was a vulture, Parker couldn't tell Mary Jane right now, and if she accidentally showed any flaws, it would be troublesome.
The music stops, and Tumus starts calling the boys over for a barbecue, while the girls always accompany Liz's mother to prepare fruits and vegetables while gossiping, and of course, there are others who don't do anything, such as Eugene Brown, the rich second generation. Thompson was standing by the pool with his glamorous blonde girlfriend talking sweet love words, and Mr. Harrington seemed to be standing there alone thinking about something.
Liz is a black girl, but her complexion is not as dark as her mother's, perhaps because she is a mixed race, Tumus is a white man, his wife is a black man, and they live in a fairly nice neighborhood, a single-family house, a garden pool, and a good life.
Chatting at the barbecue, Tumus couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do after graduation, you must have already planned your future, right?" ”
"Peter interns with Mr. Stark." Liz, who was coming over to deliver a plate of beef, interjected inadvertently.
"Really, Stark Industries!" Tooms's hand paused slightly, and then he continued to pretend to be casual and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Nothing, I'm not interning at Stark Industries anymore, the internship is a bit boring!" Parker barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face, he didn't want to remind Toombs of being Spider-Man, which would be a problem.
"Really?" Eugene Thompson didn't know when he walked over, looked at Parker with raised eyebrows and said, "I remember you also said that you knew Spider-Man, why, the lie was finally exposed?" ”
Instead of being influenced by Eugene Thompson, Toombs asked thoughtfully, "yes, Spider-Man, what kind of person is he?" ”
Parker's heart sank, and he pretended to be relaxed and said: "He is very good, he is a very good person, very real, and very willing to help others." ”
"Oh!" Tumus blinked at Parker, and suddenly he asked, "Peter, have I seen you before, maybe we've met somewhere before, and your voice is a little familiar......
"Oh, I think it's probably because he's also in academic competitions." Liz interjected inadvertently, saying, "He also attended my birthday party, but he seemed to be there for about two minutes before disappearing, just like you always do, and that time in Washington." ”
After saying the word, Tumus was directly stunned, and his eyes narrowed when he looked at Parker.
