"I didn't expect you to come to see me." William Stryker said to Meng Ao who appeared in front of him.

"It's just a stop, see if you're just incidental." Meng Ao looked at the room, which was no different from Harry Osborne's cell, and said slowly as he tapped his finger leisurely against the wall, as if to test its strength and thickness according to the echo.

"Then I have to thank you." William Stryker smiled, with gray hair and beard, plus some indifferent smiles on his face, giving people the kind feeling of KFC grandpa. Although people who know him and know what kind of dark past and character he once had, it is difficult to substitute him into the template of KFC's grandfather.

"You have to thank me, your wife committed suicide because of your son, but your son was tossed by you is not a ghost, not even the most basic thinking ability, only a puppet weapon. Who will come to see you now but me? Meng Ao unceremoniously unveiled William Stryker's scars.

"You're here to taunt and?" The smile on William Stryker's face cooled little by little, and the gaze cast on Meng Ao also took on a touch of coldness. For all the bad things he has experienced at his age, and for most of his life, it is difficult for him to be afraid of anyone.

Because fear could not keep him alive.

Hunted down by those crazy mutants.

"Because I don't know what to say to you, so... ≡ can only talk about what I know. It seems that this topic is stinging you a little. Meng Ao turned to meet William Stryker's gaze, "Actually, I kind of admire you, because after you were removed from your position, I thought you would die at the hands of those fanatical mutants." ”

"I've been against those people all my life, and I know how to deal with them when I'm in power, and I know how to avoid them when I'm not in power." William Stryker's tone was calm: "Although it's a little difficult. ”

"It's not easy, but what about now? You have no rights, no freedom. Meng Ao knocked on the solid walls around him again: "You have no minions, and people are confined to this small room, and you can no longer change your whereabouts as you did before to avoid some people." It's like a turtle in an urn. ”

"Is this a threat?" William Stryker looked at Meng Ao.

"Not counting!" Meng Ao denied: "The threat is the pressure and persecution that did not cause the facts. When it becomes a fact, it is no longer a threat. At this point, it would be more appropriate to use the word danger. ”

"Remember a female mutant I took from you a few years ago?" Meng Ao asked.

"The White Queen, Emma Frost." William Stryker had a bluish-gray on his face.

"Yes, Emma. She's obsessed with you, like a lot of radical mutants. I'm sorry that I accidentally revealed a little bit of your news and fate to her under some circumstances, well, I also accidentally revealed this prison and your room number. And she seems to have re-established a little bit of a relationship with some mutants who have been searching for your whereabouts. ”

Meng Ao kindly reminded and blessed: "Maybe you can ask someone to give you a room?" Or a different prison? I hope it's still too late! ”

"Is this your revenge?" William Stryker looked at Meng Ao. If Yiqiē is indeed as Meng Ao just said, then what he needs to face next is the endless pursuit of mutants.

William Stryker has been through many mutant assassinations in his life. There were a few times when he was almost killed. But there has never been a worse and more desperate situation than the present.

In the past, William Stryker had a lot of minions and power, as well as the freedom to move uncertainly. But now? As Meng Ao said, he couldn't go anywhere, he could only be confined to this small room.

William Stryker could already foresee the madness of the radical mutants who had always made it his mission to assassinate him as a race know his current situation and exact location.

He had never doubted the hatred of the mutant race, which was full of people who wanted him dead. Even among Professor X's Charles, who cooperates with humans and is close to allies, there are also mutants who hate him to the core. It's just that they are constrained by Charles, and they won't do anything radical lightly.

But there is another group of wilder and more dangerous mutants, some of whom hate him and want his life, but they have no scruples.

"How can this be called revenge?" Meng Ao waved his hand: "Do you remember what I once said to you?" I thought you'd remember, but apparently you didn't listen. So it's not revenge, it's retribution for your disobedience. ”

Meng Ao straightened his clothes, finally looked around the room, and finally looked at William Stryker sitting on the bed: "I'm leaving, I've been here long enough." Before leaving, I would like to repeat what I said to you, and if you are lucky enough to survive this time, please take this to heart. Because not every time, you have that good luck. ”

"Render to Caesar what is Caesar's, and God's to God's! It's mine, I'll take it, it's not yours, don't reach out! ”

……

"You've recently pulled a big order." Tony Stark walked over to Meng Ao with a wine glass.

This is a banquet, and there is a group of men and women around the two who want to talk to each other, but when the two clearly express that they have something to say, they can only hold wine glasses and raise money on the periphery, while chatting with the surroundings, while frequently paying attention to the direction where the two are located, just hoping that after the two of them communicate, they can pick up as soon as possible.

"I've been busy for almost a year with this order. also took on Nick's consultants, thugs, helpers, and even errand boys. I deserve it. Meng Ao said self-deprecatingly.

"Well deserved!" Tony Stark raised his glass: "The troubles are finally over." You've got a lot to gain, but I'm not so happy. The exhibition was provoked and destroyed, and even the Stark Building, the façade of his house, became a dangerous building. The destructive power of the combination of Hammer and Ivan is truly not to be underestimated. ”

"Hammer? That Justin Hammer? Meng Ao tilted his head and thought, "It seems to have been reported in the newspapers recently, Hammer has entered the bureau, and the identity of the general contractor of the Ministry of Defense has been deprived and cancelled. ”

Tony Stark smiled brightly when he heard this: "I didn't like his hypocritical face before, I could see him everywhere." But now it feels good, he's like he's gone. I'm not used to it now. Actually, I'd love to see him right now, to see if his face still doesn't like me. ”

"Stark Industries took over Hammer's class?" Meng Ao looked at Tony Stark.

"I'm not buying arms anymore, man!" Tony Stark shook his head, but when he saw Meng Ao's strange eyes, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, I also joined an organization and became a technical advisor to that organization, and I helped them design some things, at least those things will not be used often in human warfare." ”

"They helped me resist pressure from the Ministry of Defense. Of course, it's not really much, I gave Rhodes a suit, well, it's a gift and a gag for some people. As one of my few friends, I can still trust Rod's character, and I believe that he will not use the suit I gave him wantonly. ”

"You've finally learned to compromise." Meng Ao said with a smile.

"Actually, I prefer to call it a workaround." Tony Stark cracked.

"I'm more interested in what Nick Fury took to hire you? When I first became an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., he helped me get my hands on the Storm board. Meng Ao and Tony Stark said as they walked towards a quieter corner.

"A relic! My father's. Tony didn't hesitate at Meng Ao's question, and helped each other several times, although the relationship between the two is still not too close, but friends can still be counted. With Tony's arrogant and narcissistic personality, there are very few people who can be recognized by him as friends.

"It was a video that my father left me, and an unfinished study. A new element is involved. It is a new energy that can make human life and the development of science and technology change because of this! Although he left a message in the video saying that he was unable to put his research into practice due to the technological environment at the time, and hoped that I would take over his class or something, in fact, the research was already very complete. ”

Tony Stark, who walked to the corner and sat down with Meng Ao, frowned and said, "It's so perfect that I can even take it and make it directly with only a slight change." I thought something must have happened at the time, and the man deliberately banned the research and reminded me in a cryptic way. ”

"Exactly?" Meng Ao was a little interested, and since Tony's temperament said so, he must have seen something.

"I felt like he was being watched closely. This surveillance made him aware of the danger. Tony Stark rarely restrained his usual cynicism, and speculated with some deliberation: "That model of the new elements and energy alignments, a diorama of Stark's industrial district structure, is lying in Stark's office. ”

"It's like a lock, a lock that opens the door to a new world. He gave me the lock, but gave the key to another person for safekeeping, and asked that person to hand it over to me at the right time, to do what he could have done but had not done. That man was Nick Fury, his partner at the time. ”

"The key is one of the many tapes he left me." Tony Stark looked at Meng Ao and said seriously: "My father believed in Nick Fury, but he didn't give him all the 'keys and locks', and even hid him from him, I believe there must be some reason for this." ”

"For example?" Meng Ao asked rhetorically.

"For example, are there some other secrets in S.H.I.E.L.D. that are not well known? Or something or something that makes Howard Stark feel dangerous? It had to be scary enough, and it had to be tricky and troublesome enough to get to the point where he and Nick Fury both felt like they didn't have much chance of winning. ”

"It's unlikely. Your father was one of the giants who was involved in the preparation and even the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place. With Nick Fury's words, it was difficult for the two of them to join forces at the time, even if it was another S.H.I.E.L.D. giant, Peggy Carter. "Meng Ao has obviously had a certain understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D. over the years.

"That's another possibility." Tony Stark shrugged his shoulders: "My dad sensed the danger, but didn't see where the danger came from. I'm still a little skeptical that my parents' car accident was just an accident as the official said. ”

Meng Ao was silent, and usually liked to remain silent when he didn't know how to answer. Anyway, with his identity and status, even if he remains silent throughout the whole process, even the president can't say anything about him. Right now, he doesn't know how to take Tony Stark's words.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the new favorite of the Ministry of Defense." Tony Stark also suddenly realized that what he said was a little deeper, and the current environment was not a good occasion to discuss such a sensitive topic with Meng Ao, and after a haha, Tony neatly changed the topic.

"AIM?" Meng Ao raised an eyebrow.

"yes, Aim." Tony Stark nodded.

"The company is as low-key as its founder, but for now, the technical strength is not weak. With Osborne down and Stark uncooperative, it's the best place to fill those two voids. Whether it is biological gene technology or arms industry technology. Meng Ao's words reveal his understanding of the company AIM .

"That's not bad, don't have another guy like Justin Hammer who has no skills and just eats on relationships." Tony Stark toasts.

[ps: Ahhhh Is there an update yesterday? Also, the difference between book reviews and the appearance of the machine qì cat again, and the style of this book really doesn't match! The author has long been crying to death in the toilet? Count, it's good to cry to death in the bedroom, so as to avoid the horror metaphor of the hardcore reader. 】
