Chapter 32: What Are You Afraid of?
The next day, early in the morning.
"Joaquin, I think we're in trouble." Isabel sat in front of the computer, flipping through the news and videos, her face a little ugly.
"Please, there are thousands of mutants in the world, and there are more videos like this, and people will forget about them in a few days." Joaquin picked up the mouse and rolled the pulley, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, he really didn't expect that many videos of the two machines fighting in armor were hung on the front page of the video website.
"Oh God!" Joaquin's face was embarrassed, looking at the video, he helplessly patted the car cover with his hand, trying to stop the car, but he was still run over by the car, after which he sat up, and the diamonds on his body were dazzling in the light, rubbing his head, looking distressed.
"Eh, Isa, have you ever thought that this car brand should give me endorsement money! Click-through rates seem high? Joaquin was a little annoyed at the thought that his appearance would be played repeatedly.
"Poof" Isabel couldn't help but laugh, then hurriedly covered her mouth and glared at Joaquin.
"It's okay, the turmoil will subside in two days, and besides, I don't think I'm the main character, Tony Stark and Obodai's mechanical armor is the focus of people's conversation." Joaquin swiped the mouse wheel, and the comments below were divided into several factions!
"That bitch, why did the son treat the diamond man so much, doesn't she know who saved her?"
"Fuck, mutants are damned! If it was me sitting in the car, I would have rolled over unceremoniously! ”
"Forgive her, understand her, she's frightened, and there's a child in the car, and if it were us, we'd be panicking."
"I know I'll be sprayed by you when I say my opinion, but I still want to say that this 'diamond man' is so cute, especially the action of slapping the car cover, I really want to run over him and feel it."
"Commenter above you are enough, what mentality!? I have only one word for people like you: if you have the chance, be sure to take me with you! ”
"If you want to roll, please buy your car insurance, you see a lot of scattered car parts on the ground, and you are crooked! Didn't anyone notice? He's fucking, fuck, a secondary mutant! What a rarity! ”
"Hmph, after watching videos for so many years, this kind of helpful 'mutant' is really rare?"
"Don't make trouble upstairs, isn't the recent Spider-Man in New York very high? Last time, he saved everyone on a bridge. ”
Spider-Man? And New York? Seeing this comment, Joaquin was stunned for a moment, could it be Peter Parker?
"Tony Stark's press conference has begun, hurry up and take a look." Isabel snatched the mouse and clicked into the live channel with the huge logo above.
I saw Tony Stark in a suit and leather shoes, facing dozens of reporters sitting in the audience, talking eloquently.
"You all know, I can't be Iron Man, I'm not a hero."
"I have so many personality flaws, and I've filled in so much mess for everyone."
At this time, the officer next to him leaned over to Tony Stark's ear and whispered, "Say what is written in the script!" ”
Tony Stark pursed his lips, took out a small piece of paper, looked at the paper, and read, "The real situation is ......"
At this critical moment, Tony Stark suddenly stopped, and it could be seen that his heart was struggling and his face was hesitant.
After a pause of nearly ten seconds, Tony Stark threw the piece of paper on the table and said, "I'm Iron Man!" ”
There was an uproar in the audience! The reporters stood up one after another, surging forward frantically, trying to ask Stark something, and in the chaotic press conference, the crazy reporters and the calm Tony Stark formed a stark contrast, and next to him, the officer looked helpless.
With a "bang", a slender hand slapped on Joakin's table, and with it, a stack of newspapers fell in front of Joakin's eyes.
Joaquin was taken aback, his eyes took his eyes off the computer screen, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that Anne's eyes were full of anger, and her face that was always gentle finally changed, and her face was very stiff.
In the newspaper, Joaquin was naked, his face covered with strips of cloth, staring up at the huge armor not far away.
"I'm sorry, Annie, he was here to save me yesterday." Isabel hurriedly hugged Anne's arm, and in order to defend Joaquin, it was a lie.
"Annie, it almost killed us. Trust me, if you were me, you would do the same. No one can hurt my family. Joaquin lowered his head, the words fell, and the room fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
"Pack your bags and come back to New York with me right now." Eventually, the oppressive atmosphere was broken by Anne, who was still annoyed by the slightly trembling voice.
"Annie, Tony Stark's press conference is still there"
Anne directly interrupted Joaquin's words, squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, and her face was extremely cold: "You have exposed your qiē to the public!" You don't know how many people are beating your mind right now! Go home, ground, honestly stay in your room for a month, and get me back to mutant school after a damn Christmas! ”
Bell bell bell.
Anne's cold gaze was a little scary, and she looked at Joaquin intently and took out her phone from her pocket.
"Anne George."
"Hello, Ms. George, Mr. Tony Stark has accepted your invitation to an exclusive interview, if you have time now, please come to this address"
"Sorry, the interview was cancelled, I'm back in New York." As Anne spoke, her cold gaze turned to Isabel, who was so frightened that Isabel hurriedly lowered her head and felt uneasy.
"Well, I'm very sorry Ms. George, Mr. Stark is already waiting for you in the office, and he asked me to pass it on to Joakim George, and if possible, he wants you to stay here for a few more days."
"Joaquin!" Anne's right hand clenched, clicking, and after a tooth-sore sound, the delicate mobile phone in her hand was directly crushed!
Goo. Joaquin swallowed, a chill down his spine. When an eternally gentle person comes out angry, it is far more terrible than anyone else!
Isabel hurriedly took out a tissue and carefully tried to wipe Anne's still bleeding hand, but she couldn't break the clenched fist anyway.
"Listen, Anne, I know you're worried about my safety! I'm an adult anymore and I'm responsible for what I do! If I had to do it all over again, I'd still kick that old man's ass! Tear his armor to pieces! That's my philosophy of survival! That's my philosophy for my family! Joaquin plucked up his courage and looked at his mother's blood-dripping palms, his words full of determination, "You're overreacting, what the Magneto Brotherhood does often hangs on the front page of the newspaper, I'm just a little trash fish." No one will care about me, and in a few months, no one will even remember me! ”
Joaquin stood up, gently picked up Annie's right hand, forcefully broke his mother's fingers, threw away the crumpled mobile phone, and said softly while wiping his mother with a tissue: "I understand your concern, I know you love me." However, this is the philosophy and code of conduct that I continue to grow and learn. Don't think I'm that 11-year-old anymore. This is the truest will that comes from the heart. I know what I'm doing. ”
Anne flattened her palms and gradually calmed down. Quietly watching Qiao Jin wipe the blood for himself, he closed his eyes and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, it's Mom's fault, how nice it would be if you weren't a mutant." Anne stretched out her hand and stroked Joaquin's face, the blood gushing out had a special smell, making Joaquin smell very uncomfortable, "You don't have to worry about them coming to you, you can live an ordinary life freely." ”
"Actually, my unknown father is to blame. The variant gene is inherited by the male partner. Joaquin shrugged his shoulders, always feeling that his mother had something to say, who was going to come to him? And who is it that makes the mother so opposed to her exposure to the public eye? What was she afraid of?
