Chapter 521
Rocky didn't know that behind Nathaniel was a terrifying existence called 'Mister', and even if he did, he would only look solemn and think about the game with him, because now it is obvious that the two are friends and foes, and there can be no possibility of cooperation, this gentleman almost doesn't need too much guessing to know that his ambitions are great, and what about Rocky himself? is also ambitious, how can others be allowed to sleep under the so-called couch? There will always be only a game between the heroes and the heroes.
The Stone of Time seemed to be empty, but Rocky was not in a hurry to leave, and if he wanted to know the location of the Stone of Time, he would definitely not be able to bypass Nathaniel, and it would be difficult to find it now. But that doesn't mean there's no hope, all that's needed is waiting, waiting patiently, waiting for him to come to the door. But when it comes to direct conversation, it's the person behind him who needs it.
In the blink of an eye, Rocky stayed in London, England for a whole month or so, during which Natasha in the United States urged him to return several times and was rejected one by one, not that he did not intend to control the overall situation there, but the general direction had already been established, and now even if Stark Industry returned to its peak, the final winner of this chess game was destined to be him alone, so there was no need for him to go back.
On the other hand, the research project on the two industrial overlords of Hammer Industries and Stark Industries has made progress on the side of Fox and Hank, and he is a little tempted to check it out, but in the end he holds back. Compared to these mundane trivialities, it is still the stone of time that is more important.
Rocky has a hunch that the other party will take the initiative to find him recently, and this premonition is very strong, and it also makes Rocky choose to stay.
And things were just as Rocky had predicted, after changing his identity and location several times, the other party finally found him.
The comers were a man and a woman. The man is Rocky's old acquaintance 'Mr. Disgust' Nathaniel? Essex, and the woman, is a strange woman, her eyebrows are undeniable, her charm is undeniable, and the stunner referred to by the world is this kind of woman.
While Rocky was still speculating about the woman's identity. Among the two, this woman is the leader, and they say the purpose of their visit, "This guy next to me, I think you know, but he is not the protagonist today." The woman smiled disdainfully, her contemptuous attitude towards Nathaniel at a glance, "I'm sure you know that the Time Stone is fake now, right?" If you want the truth, come with me! However, I don't know if you dare. "It's provocative. It seems uncertain whether Rocky will go with him.
Of course, Rocky would go with her, he ignored the agitation and was only interested in the real Time Stone, and at the same time, the other party also revealed a message, that is, they knew the existence of the Time Stone, and knew that it belonged to the Infinity Stone, one of the cosmic gods.
This is not good news for Rocky, knowing the existence of Infinity Stones means knowing how to use Infinity Stones, so does the guy behind him already know that he has Infinity Stones hidden on his body? Come to think of it. He glanced faintly at the woman and Nathaniel, and then dismissed the suspicion in his heart. They shouldn't know. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so polite when they came to the door, which meant that they didn't know they had infinity gloves and Infinity Stones hidden on them.
In this regard, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not because of the competition between the Infinity Stones, other things could be planned slowly. Maybe the other party doesn't know how to use the Infinity Stones? If you go with them this time, it's an opportunity.
"Why not? If not, why would I spend a whole month in the UK? Rocky shrugged his shoulders and looked leisurely.
The woman chuckled and stroked her palms when she heard this, "Refreshing." I like to deal with cheerful people because it saves a lot of trouble. ”
With that, she turned slowly, her steps slow compared to when she came, suggesting that Rocky was following her.
Ignoring Nathaniel's resentful look, Rocky stood side by side with the woman, seemingly casually, but in fact asked meaningfully, "I would like to know how you found me, my whereabouts are already very hidden?" ”
The woman smiled slightly when she heard this, and looked very relaxed, "It's very simple, we checked the entire London hotel system, and found that there were seven foreign registrations that occurred at different times within this month, so we kept an extra watch." ”
This sentence reveals a lot of information, one of which is that the power held by the person behind it seems to be very prominent in the UK, otherwise how can the entire London hotel system be investigated? This guy's position is similar to when Rocky became president, except that the former has been very stable, while Rocky has only been president for a few months before he was removed, so the accumulation of power between the two is even deeper than the former. This is not good news, there is one more mysterious enemy, and one more person to play chess in the future.
Walking out of the hotel, waiting for an extended version of a Rolls-Royce, you can see the luxury configuration like an RV when you enter it, obviously the other party knows how to enjoy it, and this guy has a high level of cultivation from the side front. Of course, being well-educated doesn't mean being easy to deal with.
Sitting in the car, the woman followed, but Nathaniel did not get into the car, but sat on the passenger seat, and it seemed that he was not in a good position, so he could not be in the same car with the woman, and Rocky, as a guest, enjoyed this treatment.
"Drink something?" The woman opens the freezer as if to take the red wine out of it, something that everyone with status loves.
Rocky was no exception, and after saying the golden Bordeaux liquid, he saw the woman raise her eyebrows, took out the red wine, and poured a glass for herself and him, and it was very tacitly understood that neither of them chose to drink the wine, but waited for a while.
"It can be seen that your current identity should not be your real identity." The woman said with a smile, her tone very determined.
Rocky smiled but didn't answer, maybe this woman saw something from his actions, but it didn't hinder his own hiding of his identity, at least there were not many people in this world who knew his current identity at all, just a few.
"Even if you don't speak, I know that your identity is very prominent, if not high-power." The woman picked up the glass and shook it gently, she was looking at the glass hanging in the glass. After a while, he showed a satisfied look, "A person who knows how to taste wine is not a real wine taster, but a person who has a wine collection, and the people who can store wine are only a few people in this world after all." ”
"You are very careful and can see that you are an observant person." Rocky spoke. Neither admitting nor denying it, he acquiesced to the woman's speculation, he took a sip of red wine, with a slight expression of enjoyment, and then said softly: "You also said that there are only a few people in the world who have wine, so how powerful is the person behind you?" You know? I'm curious now, curious about the status of the people who have stood behind you? I'm afraid that even the prime minister can't be compared to him, right? ”
Hearing this, the woman's expression couldn't help but be slightly smug, "This is already a recognized fact. So I won't deny it. ”
Rocky was silent, and the woman's smug look showed how complacent she was with the power she held. That guy's influence can be said to be all over the United Kingdom, and its position in Europe is not excluded.
The woman was defenseless, and Rocky's many tentative words had already touched their bottom lines.
It was undoubtedly a very large organization, with a deep entrenchment throughout Europe, and the head of the organization seemed to have spent a long time managing his influence. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this. This shows that this leader is not young.
Let's start with this woman. What does it mean that a proud person like Nathaniel didn't even dare to raise his head in front of this woman, and had to endure her disdainful eyes? It shows that this woman is not only because of her higher status, but also because her strength must be able to make him speechless, otherwise with this guy's pride, how can he allow a woman to ride on his head?
More powerful than Nathaniel? Rocky seems to be able to find out where the opponent's strength is at the limit, and his strength is higher than this woman. But the other party doesn't know this. Because according to the gentleman's speculation, his strength should only be on par with this woman.
However, it is good to create such an illusion, at least it can have a surprise effect, so that the opponent is unable to guard against it.
The car soon stopped under the same building that Nathaniel had been in, and the woman opened the door and stepped out first. Rocky followed her into the building. It's not an office building as most people think, but one person living in it.
This can be seen from entering the hall only if the guards do not have a front desk. This shows that the leader who is about to meet Rocky is actually a very proud and strong person in his bones, even if it is Tony? Stark didn't have that luxury.
After stepping into the elevator, the woman began to tell Rocky what he needed to pay attention to in the future, as if to her meeting the head of the city meant a pilgrimage. This made Rocky cry and laugh a little, it was just a meeting, and it was so grand.
Although he was impatient, Rocky didn't show it, after all, he had to give others a little face, and after reaching the top floor of the elevator, the woman stopped explaining and took him in the direction of the inner hall.
Along the way, Rocky saw no less than dozens of powerful guys, among which the middle-aged strong man with short gray hair was even more terrifying than the woman beside him, and it was really easy to think that they seemed to belong to the same system.
"Plague, is this what the gentleman wants to see?" The gray-haired man glanced at Rocky, his gaze was a little salty, and there was even a faint hint of contempt in it, and it could be seen that he seemed to express disdain for Rocky, who had an ordinary breath, as if there was no ordinary Rocky.
Plague smiled faintly when he heard this, and there was a sense of business in his smile, "My mission is also completed." ”
The two seem to be at odds, the organization is not monolithic, and there seems to be some conflict of interest.
Hearing this, the strong man smiled coldly, slowly pushed open the door of the inner hall, and reluctantly made a gesture of invitation to Rocky.
Rocky was a little unimpressed by this guy's attitude, he didn't care that these guys looked at him with contempt, he just needed to get the leader, after all, the chess player didn't care about the attitude of the chess piece, because the chess piece is a chess piece after all.
Entering the inner hall, the door slowly closes, and a person sits on a reversed chair behind a desk near the floor-to-ceiling window.
He was so tall that even the chair couldn't hide his upper body, and his bald head with gray skin showed that he was different from ordinary people, and for a moment, Rocky thought that this guy was not earthling. It's just that, according to the aura revealed by the other party, the identity of the human being is obvious, so he didn't guess too much.
Finding a seat and slowly sitting down, Rocky looked at the furnishings in the study, there were many books in the house, and even some of them were old, and some of them were no longer available in the market.
"It seems that you are also a person who likes to read?" The gentleman's voice slowly came from behind the chair, still as natural and warm.
Rocky smiled when he heard this, with a slight sarcasm and self-deprecation in his smile, "I don't like to read, although these things can increase some knowledge that ordinary people can't access, but in the end, they are still mixed with some other people's thoughts." ”
"Oh?" The gentleman's voice was a little surprised, but also a little interested, "I can see that you are a very conceited fellow. ”
Lodge does not deny it, "I am indeed conceited, because I know that not being conceited means being wasted." If you have the ability to be conceited, why do you have to pretend to be humble? I don't live for others, I live for myself. ”
This sentence was applauded by Mr., "It is well said that people are born for themselves, not for others." If you can be a conceited person, why think about the so-called modesty? That's just a kind of self-comfort and disguise for the weak."
Rocky raised his eyebrows, this gentleman is a lover, if the positions are not opposite, maybe they can be friends, but the positions of the two are destined to belong to the hostile sides.
"It's a pity, I originally had the mentality of soliciting you, but now it seems that my plan is undoubtedly stillborn."
From Rocky's words, he could tell that he was the same kind of person as himself. (To be continued.) )
