Chapter 112: The Great Magician

was almost overturned by Mark No. 2 and cut off half of his ear, Vanke's anger can be imagined. Although cautious about the fall, he aimed at them and fired two missiles - his weapons were much more stocked than Skye and Stark had imagined.

Just as the missile was about to hit Mark II, a dark shadow intervened. After catching Skye, who was wearing Mark II, Grant raised his right hand and banished the two missiles that followed.

"Skye, I haven't seen you for a day, you're a lot heavier!"

Hearing this, Skye, who had just opened his visor, laughed. Then, her gaze fell on Grant's hands, which had taken off their gloves.

Purple, wrinkled, skinny, and the veins are visibly bulging. This is already very hideous just in the palm of his hand, and if he rolls up Grant's sleeve, it is estimated that Skye will not be able to eat dinner.

"I'll talk about this later, I'll deal with the guy above first."

Lowering Skye to the ground, Grant soared into the air again.

The battle that followed was almost one-sided. The last time he suffered a loss at the hands of Grant in Monaco, Vanke still has lingering palpitations. He didn't think that under the almost nirvanal ambush of the gang, Grant would still survive; He didn't expect that now the other party would also fly. Now facing Grant, even if there is a strengthened suit, even if there is a better defense, even compared to the last time against the medium and long-range attack methods, Vanke still feels that he is not confident enough.

After pouring out all the remaining missiles and bullets, it was now his turn to maneuver with speed.

It's just that his original intention was to show his strength, but now he is being beaten by Grant, which is too anticlimactic, and it is really unreasonable.

At this time, Mark II, who had replenished a little energy, also returned to the battlefield - Skye and the others saw Grant's disadvantage in speed.

Mark 2 reversed his previous style and took the initiative to fight with the Mourning Whip, trying his best to give Grant a chance to get close to the Mourning Whip. As a result, Vanke's situation is even worse. Now, even if he tried to escape, he couldn't do it.

Ruthless, he decided to sacrifice his secret weapon.

Looking at Mark 2 who pounced, the mourning whip also pretended to fail to escape, so it was natural that he was entangled by the former. Later, Grant also rushed over. At this moment, the mourning whip suddenly attacked. He used his remaining electric whip to wrap around Mark II and flung him towards the oncoming Grant. Just as Grant subconsciously caught Skye wearing Mark II, the electric whip was retracted and released, strangling the two together. The whip himself rushed forward and grabbed Grant from behind.

Then, the self-detonation program is initiated. The sound of Di Di Di came out, which touched the hearts of many people.

Vanke's plan is not excellent, but he has overlooked one thing - Grant's power can compete with abomination!

As a result, Grant broke free of the mourning whip and threw the latter higher. He himself flew quickly to the ground with the Mark II.

"Boom"!

The "bright fireworks" over the Empire State Building dispelled the haze that had shrouded the hearts of people across the United States in the past few days.

"Great magician? I don't really like this nickname. But it's better than Iron Man, right? ”

Grant said this to Natasha and Skye, who were standing to his left and right. The latter part, although it is a question, is entirely in the tone of the statement.

It's already the day after the Battle of the Empire State Building, and opinions from all sides are coming out. Despite the blockade by agencies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Department of Defense, the news still spread. In particular, as soon as some videos were uploaded to YouTube, various records were refreshed. For the new image of Iron Man, everyone didn't say anything, almost one-sided support. This speaks volumes about Tony Stark's appeal.

As for Grant, although he only appeared in the second half of the battle, the scene of him hanging in the air in a dashing manner, raising his right hand to expel all kinds of missile bullets still left a deep impression on many people. In addition, some people recognized him as the one who fought the three giants on Broadway that day. The video of him banishing the abomination was also revealed.

No one will take Grant's strength lightly. But in terms of attitude, Grant was treated completely differently than Tony Stark. At the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, there are far more voices supporting the threat theory than those who treat Grant as a hero.

Skye, Fitz and a few others were very upset about this, but Grant himself didn't care too much.

"Are you serious? I think Iron Man sounds better. At this time, Stark on the other side spoke, "Magician sounds a little fancy don't you think." ”

"It's the 'Great Magician'. I also think it's better than Iron Man. ”

These were Natasha's words, and Stark, who already knew she was close to Grant, would certainly not accept them.

"Your opinion is biased and cannot be used as a reference. Let's take a look at what others have to say. ”

Needless to say, Skye also had Simmons, Hill, Pepper, Roddy, Harpy and Fitz on the scene, and only Harpy reluctantly expressed his support for "Iron Man".

"You guys colluded!" Stark was rather speechless, "Especially the two of you. Roddy? Pepper! ”

The crowd laughed.

After a little more small talk, Hill left first, taking Fitz and Simmons with her. Next was Roddy, followed by Natasha.

"So you're not going to stay? Natalie? Natasha? Whatever. "At Stark Industries, you can have better treatment and a safer and more comfortable working environment. ”

Then Pepper joined in the persuasion: "yes, Natasha. You can think about it. It's so much easier for me to have you, and you can be my personal bodyguard! ”

"One salary wants to fill two positions, Pepper, you are already a competent CEO." Natasha laughed and quipped, "Forget it, 'safe and comfortable' is not my style." ”

"I'll wait for you to change your mind."

Natasha hugged Grant and left, she had already received a new assignment. With Happi to prepare Stark's luggage, Grant, Skye, Stark, and Pepper were left on the scene.

"I owe you once."

Stark said as Pepper helped him up to Skye. Skye, on the other hand, smiled, then waved his hand.

"Nothing, don't care."

"No, no, no. You've done Tony Stark a favor, and he has to reciprocate. "Don't get me wrong, Stark himself said this. Speaking of this, he also glanced at Grant: "Otherwise, he will be gossiped about." ”

Innocently lying on the gun, Grant was very helpless. The two women laughed.

"I'll look for you when I think of something suitable in return. Or you can contact Pepper if you need to. Although she is the CEO of Stark Industries, she is still my life assistant. ”

Stark's waist was immediately pinched. The force was not heavy, but he still made a look of injury.

Then, he officially confronted Grant.

"Your hands...... Can I give you some advice, do you need it? ”

Grant was a little surprised. Not to mention that even Simmons and S.H.I.E.L.D. don't have a good way, just now, Stark is actually courting him?

Despite thinking so, Grant nodded, "If this doesn't bother you." ”

"Troubled? No, of course not. It's just a matter of a few phone calls. Stark's expression was serious, "I know someone. Well, maybe you should take a trip to South Korea. ”

Hearing Stark say this, the other three were stunned for a moment.

"South Korea? Would you have suggested that I go for a facelift? Grant thought it was a little funny, "No, it's not plastic surgery." Skin grafting? ”

Stark shook his head.

"I don't think a skin graft will save you from this evil ...... Eccentric arms. I know there's a female Ph.D. out there who has a very advanced approach to tissue culture and tissue regeneration. ”

"So the focus is on the 'female' doctor."

After thinking about it for a while, Grant suddenly said this. And Stark replied, "Almost." As a result, the latter was pinched in the waist again, this time ruthlessly.

"No, Pepper, stop! I swear I really didn't have anything to do with that female doctor, I just paid attention to it! ”

In front of Grant and Skye, Stark yelled. This made Pepper blushing with shame.

"Thanks, I'll make a note of it. I'll go if necessary. Waiting until the two people on the other side were no longer making trouble, Grant spoke seriously, "Now, I have another thing I need your help with. ”

The latter sentence, Grant said by looking at the two of them. This made both Stark and Pepper feel a little strange.

"There's word from S.H.I.E.L.D. that someone is eyeing Skye. So I'm hoping you can help keep an eye on her after I'm gone. ”

Hearing this, Skye worriedly grabbed Grant's sleeve. Stark, on the other hand, spoke directly to Skye.

"Ms. Skye, on behalf of Stark Industries, I formally invite you to be the assistant to the CEO, and now you can ......"

Stark's amusement is interrupted by Pepper.

"Now I'm the CEO of Stark Industries." Pepper said to Stark very seriously. Then she smiled and looked at Skye, "But that's what he said." ”

"Or can we use this new employee's skills to hack into the Department of Defense and steal the launch code for the nuclear bomb?"

Stark's sneer joke brought the conversation to an end. In the end, Skye asked the question she wanted to know the most.

"Where are you going?"

Grant was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I saw something in that fake time tunnel. I need to find someone, and that person may have a way to get my arm back. ”

"Will it be dangerous?"

"Probably not." Grant smiled lightly, "That's an old acquaintance of a friend of mine." ”
