Hearing Nadim say this, Grant's first reaction was helplessness. The whole nation knows that Tony Stark is either in the Stark Tower in Manhattan, New York, or in his own secret mansion. Not many people may know about the latter, but this does not include Grant, isn't it Malibu, California? Of course, Tony Stark is certainly not just a property in Malibu, but the one he frequents and most importantly is. Stark's every move, S.H.I.E.L.D. almost all recorded.
However, Grant reacted immediately, and if Nadim would say that, something big must have happened. Although he has left S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark is no ordinary person, and this playboy's every move can even affect the whole United States. If there was news from Nadim, Grant felt he couldn't ignore it.
Of course, we need to test it first.
Withdrawing the pistol, Grant came to Nadim's side with an excited face, and put his right hand on the other party's shoulder with a familiar look: "Hey man, can't you do it alone?" It doesn't matter, you Brother Patton, I am the bravest and most experienced. You can sell me the message directly and I'll give you a good price. It's even better if you're not afraid to get hurt and take risks. I welcome you to join my team, let's go black and eat black together! ”
"'Brother Barton'?" Nadimu had a strange expression on his face.
"Ye, my name is Clint Barton." Grant still has an exaggerated tone, and an exaggerated expression, very American street hip-hop style, "How's that, Nadim." Don't doubt my sincerity. My team and I have just arrived in Afghanistan and are not familiar with this place. You can be our guide. Don't worry, just let me know the news and show us the location. We won't have to show you up, and after we get Tony Stark from that gang and get the ransom, I promise you'll get a fifth! ”
"One in five......
Nadim deliberately dragged out his tone, looking like he was going to sit on the ground and raise the price. Now "Clint Barton" was not satisfied.
"One out of five is already a lot, man, you can't be too greedy." Grant said with a straight face, "Think about it, that's Tony Stark, and tens of millions of ransoms are already a small amount." Even if it's only 10 million, then you'll have 2 million. That's dollars, not Afghani! ”
As a result, Nadim shook his head and smiled lightly.
"Do I look so foolish? Or should you be accused of being too insincere? The Muslim said, "Clint Barton, I don't know if this is your real name, but you clearly don't belong to the kind of person you play." And I'm not the kind of person you suspect. ”
In that case, there is no need for Grant to pretend anymore.
“oK。 Then tell me, who are you? Why are you telling me about Stark? What the hell happened to Tony Stark? ”
Glancing at Grant in some surprise, Nadim pulled out a phone from under his white Arab robes, and after a few tinkering sessions, handed it to Grant.
It's been days since Grant learned about Tony Stark's attack. To make matters worse, compared to the national controversy over Tony Stark's disappearance at the beginning, the news of Stark's death is even more powerful on the Internet. Even, a series of economic and political. Signs of political turmoil are already emerging.
It seems that the call Coulson received that day was about Tony Stark.
Receiving a call from Grant, Nadimu also spoke.
"I don't think I need to remind you of the importance of a living Tony Stark." Looking at Grant with a pensive face, he said seriously, "Although Stark Industries' weapons have caused great harm to this region and even the entire world, without Tony Stark, the situation will not get better, and it may even get worse because of the open and secret battles of the arms dealers." I wanted to avoid that, but unfortunately I didn't have the ability. Before I met you, I was going to the nearest city for help. I've made several calls, but each time I've been treated as a scammer. Perhaps Tony Stark's message would be more credible for you to tell, and that's why I'm telling you. ”
As a result, Grant's expectant gaze was greeted by a wry smile on Grant's face.
"What's wrong?" Nadim was a little puzzled, "It's okay if you're not an American. You're not wearing a ......," he gestured to his clothes, "and you don't have an Arabic accent, and you're a half-race face, so I'm sure those people won't ignore you." By the way, there is a US military base more than a hundred kilometers away, and we can ask them for help. ”
More than 100 kilometers, in fact, it is only a matter of how many times the fighter plane flies. But Grant immediately thought of one thing - this is a mountainous place, full of rocks, and the view is quite obstructed.
"My identity is inconvenient to see them." That's all he can say.
"What then? Stark had already been given an ultimatum by the time I left. Nadim became anxious, "By the way, you can call." I'll call, you listen. They shouldn't doubt your accent. Even if you are suspicious, you will send someone to take a look. ”
Grant didn't want anything to happen to Tony Stark, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, hurry up!" ”
It's just that things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Excited, Nadim put the phone to his ear, and after a few seconds, his expression changed dramatically. Then dial, stop, dial, stop...... His face was getting darker and darker.
“…… You can't be in arrears, right? ”
Grant thought it was super absurd when he said this, but of course Nadimu denied it. It's just that the latter couldn't hide his crying expression at all: "That US military base seems to have blocked my number." ”
"How many times have you been beaten before?"
Years later, Grant still remembers through gritted teeth. As a result, the other party's answer did not "disappoint" him.
"I forgot if it was seven or eight times......," Nadim's voice became smaller and smaller, "At first, I just wanted to explain, but then I didn't hang up the phone once, so I called and scolded once, so I ......"
Grant wants to strangle this guy right now: "You're not going to tell me that all the calls you make to ask for help elsewhere are like this, are you?" ”
As a result, Nadimu nodded in shame.
"Oh buy...... I can't see you're such a grumpy person! Grant couldn't even get angry, "Which direction?" Now it's just the two of us! ”
