Chapter 59: Homecoming
Midday.
After lunch at Tony's gracious invitation, the trio drove to Rose's residence.
Probably because the outcome of the battle in Harlem had changed somewhat, General Ross didn't go to drink to drown his sorrows.
"Ryan, you waited for me in the car, you offended him a lot that night, and if I saw you, I think there would be an accident in our negotiations."
Ryan nodded, watching him take steps with his hands in his pockets that he didn't recognize, once again confirming that he really didn't have any self-knowledge.
Antonia tugged at his sleeve.
The two got out of the car.
Standing on the side of the road, she said, "Did you expose him on purpose?" ”
"There is no need to hide these things, and it is more beneficial for me to expose them. Some things are not worth much, and he is a good bridge. ”
"In case he finds ......"
"Think about it, do you think there's anything similar to last night?"
Antonia thought for a moment and finally shook her head.
It's not just the difference in the way it is presented, but even the breath that can be sensed intuitively is very different.
White light is divinity, and red light is evil.
The two are diametrically opposed, even completely opposed.
Ryan, a Level 6 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., has only the power of light that he can obtain with the lightsaber given by Thor.
But the Crimson Armor Mystery Man will have more and more different powers to show one by one.
"And what did he just talk to you about?"
Ryan couldn't help but chuckle, "Maybe he was clever enough to think that opposites are not impossible to coexist, so he wanted to approach me to investigate more." Or, as he said himself, he hoped that I could help him solve the problem of the reactor embedded in his body, and something more intimate for men......"
Antonia was curious: "Can it?" ”
"What are you referring to?"
Antonia's face turned red: "All." ”
"It's all right, but not now."
In a moment, Tony walked out of the villa.
"That's it! But he seemed to be very angry, but fortunately I was able to hold my breath, otherwise I was afraid that I would have taken him to the hospital if I was not careful. ”
"Hard."
Tony smiled, pulled the car door, and said, "Let's go, I'll show you the best and most exciting party in New York!" ”
Ryan shook his head, "I'm sorry, I still have my own business to do." ”
Tony was a little disappointed.
"Do you remember my contact details?"
Ryan bowed.
"Okay, be sure to contact me the next time you get to New York or Los Angeles, or I'll go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to find you."
"Waiting for you at any time."
"That's right, your ...... Well, you know, does S.H.I.E.L.D. know? ”
"I don't know."
"Mind if I say it?"
"Don't mind."
"Then why didn't you tell them?"
"No one asked me."
Tony nodded, put on his sunglasses, and gave him a thumbs up.
"I'm starting to like you!"
-----------------
Near the airport.
Ryan bought a brand new Raptor and drove it straight home after completing the formalities.
"Why did you want to buy this car?" Antonia was puzzled.
"For a friend, he loves this car."
"Does he know you're going back?"
Ryan pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.
Antonia was smart and asked in a whisper, "He has a problem too?" ”
"I don't know. There are some things that are not a problem until they are discovered, but once there is doubt, there are problems everywhere. ”
Such as:
Why is my uncle so sure that everyone will not leave, is it really just because of past intersections and friendships?
Why does John Hawke always like to stay in the shade, is it really just because he is afraid of the heat?
Why does New Friendship Town never welcome outsiders despite its development, really just because it has to strictly screen the identity and background of residents?
Why has Ryan never heard of a wedding ceremony in the town in the past, is it really just that there are few people or people of the right age have not yet found a suitable partner?
Why is everyone not enthusiastic about the most popular Christmas in this land, really just because there was a tragedy on Christmas in a certain year?
As Ryan said, a lot of things don't stand up to deep thought.
As long as you can find that thread in the mess, everything will be traceable.
After passing through the Gobi Desert, a forest suddenly appeared in front of me.
The cool smell of the trees is refreshing.
"It's almost there." Ryan said calmly.
Antonia looked at the signboard in the distance: "I saw it. ”
When I drove to the end of the road, I suddenly saw a clear vision.
A calm and peaceful town nestled in the mountains and forests.
As the car crossed the sign, Ryan's heart tightened abruptly beyond its normal rhythm.
It's not the mood swings caused by homesickness, but the heart of light's keen intuition about the dark side.
"Do you have any special feelings?" He asked.
"Like...... Feeling comfortable and peaceful? ”
Antonia replied quickly.
Ryan touched and nodded.
In a moment, he drove the car directly to the door of his uncle's house, and after pressing the horn, he soon saw the door open, and Red Varner and his wife Yumia walked out one after another.
"Oh, Ryan! You're back, why don't you call me ahead of time and I can pick you up at the airport. Also, is this a new car? Wait a minute, this girl must be your girlfriend, right? "Yumia is as talkative as ever.
After Ryan got out of the car and hugged her, he smiled and said, "It was a temporary decision to go home, and she is Antonia, my colleague." ”
Yumia and Antonia embrace, and Ryan turns to face Red Varner.
The other party still looks like a pot-bellied, and even the Mediterranean area on his head seems to have become larger again.
When he faced Red again, Ryan's smile didn't change, but his eyes didn't make sense of what he had before.
He believed that the other party must have seen it.
Because when the two made eye contact, Red's smile was obviously stiff for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Ryan was inexplicably relieved.
He hugged Wren as usual, and then the group went into the house together.
The dinner prepared by Yumia was still delicious.
But apart from herself, the other three obviously have their own agendas.
After eating, Red offered to invite Ryan out for a walk, and Antonia wanted to follow, but Ryan refused.
Walking down the road, Ryan typed with his phone.
Seeing this, Red smiled: "You never liked to go out for a walk with me before, because you thought it was boring to hang out like this?" ”
Ryan put his phone away after texting and said, "No. I just think it's inefficient to walk. ”
"Efficiency?"
"Well, you don't know?"
Red stopped, looking interested: "It seems that you have learned some new fitness theories in S.H.I.E.L.D., tell me, I can try it from tomorrow." ”
"Vampires shouldn't get fat easily."
"Vampires?"
"Haven't you heard?"
"Of course I know about vampires, but why are you suddenly saying this?"
Ryan smiled, fangs under his lips bared, "If you're not, I can help you." ”
