Chapter 55: The Aftermath of the Battle

The next day, the news of the battle over Liberty Island swept through all the newspaper headlines like a storm, making everyone realize the horror of the powerful mutants, and the news that the Statue of Liberty, who held the torch high and symbolized freedom, was destroyed in the battle with only one arm left.

While people mourn the vanishing Lady Liberty, they turn their anger on the incompetent government and the mutants, and the mutant community is once again pushed to the forefront.

When some people are sad when they hear this result, some people naturally rejoice.

"Charles is going to be busy for a while, mutants, hehe!"

An inexplicable chuckle came from the darkness, and I saw that a man with silver hair and a cold face was pointing his finger at the steel table in front of him, making a crisp 'dong dong' sound, while thinking quietly, and after a while, he smiled abruptly at a figure standing silently in front of the desk.

"It's a nice surprise to capture Deadpool, Kara, is Deadpool's memory clear?"

"Cleared, General Stryker!" A voluptuous figure named Kara reports to Stryker in a mechanical voice that doesn't contain a hint of emotion.

"The ultimate weapon of ten years ago didn't disappoint me after all, but now the mutants' power seems to be a lot stronger, just in case, the mutant extermination plan needs to be delayed"

Thinking of this, Stryker said to the expressionless Kara in front of him, "The cloning project is going to be accelerated!" Carla! We need more power! ”。

"Yes, General!"

Hearing this, Stryker's face was full of smiles, but for some reason, the smile on his face gave people a feeling of chilling all over his body.

New York, Leo's home......

Early in the morning, Leo received a not-so-friendly phone call, hmm...... The call was made by Agent Phil's bosses, Nick Fury.

"Hello, Mr. Leo!"

"You are?" Listening to the unfamiliar voice, Leo was a little confused.

"I'm Nick Fury!"

Hearing this name, Leo remembered, listening to the cold and hard voice on the phone, Leo raised his eyebrows, and said in a puzzled tone: "Your attitude is not very friendly, Director Fury!" ”。

"Looks like Mr. Leo heard that, so do you have anything to explain about the battle in the skies over Liberty Island last night?" Generously acknowledging the source of his unfriendly attitude, Nick and Fury's tone still made Leo very uncomfortable, which was a tone of interrogating subordinates or criminals.

"It's better for you to ask Magneto about this matter, what do you think?" There was a hint of anger in Leo's tone.

Just when the two of them were a little cold because of this conversation, a voice interjected into the conversation between the two: "Hello, Mr. Leo, I'm sorry I didn't help you last time, but you seem to have found your friend?" Is he okay? ”。

"Phil?" The gentle voice was polite and apologetic, which made Leo suppress the anger he was caused by Nick and Fury, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, he is fine!" ”。

"What happened last night had a big impact, we need to figure out the cause of the incident, can you tell us some news?" Phil tactfully stated his purpose, so that Leo couldn't afford to refuse, and then briefly talked about the Magneto magnetic energy enhancer.

"What you've done is admirable!" Phil praised in a sincere tone, and then said in a tentative tone, "Does our cooperative relationship still exist?" ”。

It seems that because of the last time they asked them to find Logan, they didn't play a role, which made the agent feel a little guilty, Leo listened to Phil's careful tone, and seemed to have Phil's smiling face in front of him, and said while feeling funny: "Of course! ”。

"Thank you! By the way, we have seriously considered the advice you and Mr. Stark gave us last time! ”

"Suggestions?" A big question mark flashed through Leo's mind.

"Our name, the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, has now been officially declared as S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Nice name!" Leo picked at the corners of his mouth.

Hearing Leo's words, Phil, who spoke softly, smiled with satisfaction and said in a friend's tone: "Thank you for your appreciation, I will visit you when I have time!" As a friend. ”

"Good!" Leo nodded in answer and hung up.

After hearing Leo's reply, Phil smiled at Nick and Fury behind him, and said kindly, "Sometimes we need to give people enough respect to get the results we want, don't we?" Your Excellency! ”。

Twitching the corners of their mouths, Nick and Fury took the mobile phone in Phil's hand and said, "In the future, the contact work of the Black Emperor will be handed over to you!" As for Magneto......"

"We can't do anything about it!"

"Phil, sometimes to be honest, it's disgusting!"

"But you don't like to listen to lies, do you?" Phil shrugged his shoulders with sincerity.

Hearing this, Nick and Fury's black faces became a little darker.

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up the phone, Leo handed the phone in his hand to Bell, rubbed the corners of his forehead, stood up, arranged the blue twill tie around his neck, and said: "There is a meeting today, Emma said that I need to attend, you and Uncle Paul they talk, I won't be back at noon today!" ”。

"Yes, sir!"

The headquarters of the Io Group is located in Manhattan, New York, and the 68-story Io Building complements the current identity of the Ao Group.

For here, Leo didn't come much, but no one stopped Leo because of his face, just because Emma made everyone know Leo's appearance.

"Welcome! Mr. Leo! As soon as he stepped into the door of the lobby on the first floor of the company, Hall, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted Leo with a smile on his face.

Hall, since ten years ago, after leaving Stark to join the Io Group, his status has risen instead of falling, of course, this is also inseparable from his loyalty and hard work, and Emma used his ability to control him in the early days, and the loyal orders left behind also occupy a large component. So until now, he's been the Io Group, oh no, the most loyal fan of Emma and Leo.

Nodding at Hall, Leo walked into his exclusive elevator under the leadership of Hall under the guidance of the employees of the Aio Group, either envious or hot.

"It's Obadiah, Stan!"

In the elevator, Hall whispered to Leo the source of the meeting, and when he heard this, Leo understood as soon as his mind turned, and then a sneer floated on his lips.
