Chapter 108: Digging a pit for S.H.I.E.L.D
In the luxurious office, Tony had already had a brief but serious chat with Lin Rui for more than ten minutes, and Tony also told Phantom Knight about his plans. Roughly speaking, Tony wants to suggest a stable connection with Phantom Knight. On the one hand, Tony can provide Phantasm Knight with better equipment and advanced technology, and on the other hand, Phantom Knight will help Tony establish a special organization to protect civilians from the threat of evil forces. Of course, the initiative is in Tony's hands, and he doesn't want others to use their own things and not listen to him.
Lin Rui was not surprised at all when he heard Tony's plans and intentions, because Tony was already doing it, and Iron Man is the guardian to the current American people. So far, Tony has played this image quite well. However, it is unrealistic to let Lin Rui listen to Tony from now on.
"So, I'm like a mercenary? you pay for the equipment and then I do the work for you?" Sitting on the chair and crossing his legs, Lin Rui said lightly. That was his simplest understanding of Tony's intentions, and of course, he was much more advanced than the mercenaries. Super mercenaries, perhaps?
"No, no, no! We're in partnership. It's just that I provide you with funds and better equipment, don't I have more say?" Seeing Phantom Knight point out his plan pointedly, Tony shook his head and explained.
Call~
Putting down his crossed legs, Lin Rui felt that it seemed a little unsightly to pose like this in a phantom suit. However, Tony doesn't pay attention to what kind of shape he is concaving.
"It's all the same for me. I'd appreciate it if you'd give me money and better gear, but I can't listen to you in the future, I'm not as foolish as Spider-Man's little kid. And, there's another important reason why I don't want to get too close to you right now. Sitting up a little straighter, Lin Rui said slowly.
"What is the reason?" Lin Rui's answer was also expected by Tony, Phantom Knight was obviously not Peter's second-year teenager. However, the reason why Lin Rui said Tony was very interested, did he not like himself?
"Because, you're too close to S.H.I.E.L.D. Maybe not what you intended, but they're already deeply involved with you, and they're going to get deeper and deeper. As for me, I don't have much of a crush on S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't want to expose myself because of you. "Finally, Lin Rui is going to start pitting S.H.I.E.L.D.
"S.H.I.E.L.D., do you even know about them, how much do you know about them, why do you say that?" Hearing the name that came out of Lin Rui's mouth, Tony was a little surprised, and asked several questions in a row.
Until Coulson found Tony, Tony didn't know there was such an organization. And after Nick approached Tony for a plan to form the Avengers, Tony also searched for the organization, but found nothing. Aside from the information that Nick revealed to Tony, he doesn't know anything for the time being.
"S.H.I.E.L.D., a global counter-terrorism organization that hides in the shadows. The terrorist groups here are not the ones who have a few guns to raid people, but the ones that will bring a greater threat to the world. They are also responsible for monitoring and controlling some individuals whose strength is far greater than that of ordinary people, such as you, Iron Man. Without going into details, Lin Rui just briefly explained the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Tony.
"As for why I don't like them, it's a secret, and you'll probably find out later. Anyway, I won't get too involved with S.H.I.E.L.D. If I were you, I wouldn't have bothered with them too much. After explaining S.H.I.E.L.D., Lin Rui also reminded Tony.
"Why? From what you say, they seem to have the same purpose as me. Moreover, such an organization should welcome people like me. Some didn't understand why Lin Rui didn't want to see S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony asked again.
"Of course, their intentions are good. However, a huge organization will always have some internal problems, and the internal problems of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not a little bit. ”
"Internal problems, it seems that you know more than a little bit about them!" Hearing Lin Rui's words, Tony suddenly sighed.
Now that he was talking, Tony felt the need to change his mind about the street hero in front of him. I thought he was just a guy with some sense of responsibility and some strength. But Tony didn't expect him to know so many things that he didn't know, and Tony didn't like the feeling that this situation was completely out of his control.
"Probably, so if you're really going to work with S.H.I.E.L.D., then we'd better keep our distance. Seeing Tony sighing there, Lin Rui said with a smile. Lin Rui is slowly making his worth higher in Tony's eyes, so that his right to speak will become more and more important. Using the news that Tony didn't know to pit S.H.I.E.L.D., Lin Rui felt that he was doing a very good job.
"Looks like I'm really going to have to think about it, and I'm glad you shared this news with me. Nodding, Tony said he was considering.
"Since you've asked here, I can also send you an important piece of news for free. After all, you should have been poisoned by the palladium element by now, right?" Seeing that Tony had slowly entered the trap, Lin Rui planned to strike while the iron was hot.
Brush!
Hearing Lin Rui suddenly mention his palladium poisoning, Tony's eyes flashed violently, and his feet were already on the box next to him.
"How do you know!?" The matter of his palladium poisoning is still known only to Ivan, the guy who also made the miniature ark reactor, and Jackson, why does Phantom Knight also know?
"I don't care, Mr. Stark, I don't go around talking about it anyway. Moreover, I not only know that you are poisoned with palladium, but I also know how to cure it. Just as Tony was staring at Lin Rui nervously, his next words made Tony even more shocked.
"How is it possible to cure palladium poisoning? As long as I wear this thing on my chest for a day, this thing cannot be cured. Calming down his excitement a little, Tony continued. Even the low-level Elven Sacred Spring that Lin Rui had given Tony before had only temporarily restored his body, and the palladium element continued to erode his body.
"Of course I know, so, you need a new element to replace palladium. I think Mr. Stark has been looking for it for a long time. Smiling, Lin Rui said lightly.
"You even know this, who the hell are you?!" Tony couldn't calm down anymore, as if all his secrets had been mastered.
"Now what you should be concerned about is not this problem, but the new element that can replace the palladium element, don't you want to know where it is?" Tilting his head, Lin Rui asked calmly.
"Do you really know?!" If the Phantom Knight in front of him really knew where the new element that could replace the palladium element was, then Tony really didn't have to worry about the threat of death anymore.
"Of course I know, I'm not going to talk nonsense. And it's within the same organization that I've been talking about. Nodding, Lin Rui changed his posture in his chair, "Actually, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Mr. Stark and your father: Mr. Howard Stark. And when your father died, he left an inheritance in S.H.I.E.L.D., and it contains what you've been looking for. ”
"My father?founded S.H.I.E.L.D.?new elements that can replace palladium are in S.H.I.E.L.D., in what he left behind?" Lin Rui's successive revelations almost made Tony unable to react, almost unable to believe it.
It turned out that what they had been looking for was hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D., and they had been hiding it from themselves. The inheritance left by his father did not receive it himself, but let S.H.I.E.L.D. put it away. Thinking of this, Tony's heart was furious.
"That's right. I think that with Mr. Stark's current relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., you should be able to easily get Mr. Howard's legacy back if you go to them. As for whether you can find new elements inside, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Feeling the ups and downs of Tony's emotions, Lin Rui added fuel to the fire again.
It took Tony a moment to recover from the news, he had already taken his foot away from the box containing the steel suit, "Thank you for giving me this news, it's important to me. ”
"No, I'm glad I could help Mr. Stark. Knowing that Tony had slowly trusted himself, Lin Rui said with a smile.
Anyway, Nick will still tell Tony the news at that time, but at that time, Tony accepted a big favor from him, and it was logical to join the Avengers. And now that Lin Rui told Tony the news, Nick, who was supposed to be a good person, instantly became a cold-blooded guy, and Tony didn't like him anymore.
"So, is Mr. Stark still willing to sponsor me?" Lin Rui asked again just as Tony was thinking about getting his father's inheritance back from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony Stark is a big tyrant, and if Lin Rui's Guardian Alliance wants to develop rapidly, it must have a lot of money and more powerful technology, and Stark's funding is obviously a good way.
"I think I'll be happy to do it. Looking at Lin Rui, Tony replied lightly. With the news that Lin Rui shared with him today, Tony had every reason to help Phantom Knight instead of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"OK! Then our meeting for today ended happily. Mr. Stark, it was nice to chat with you, and I will contact you again. "The things that need to be said are all over, and Lin Rui doesn't want to stay any longer, maybe now S.H.I.E.L.D. is monitoring around here. As he spoke, Lin Rui had already gotten up from his chair and walked to the window.
"I'm glad to meet you, Phantom Knight, too. ”
"Goodbye, then, Mr. Stark. Finally, I said hello to Tony, and Lin Rui had already jumped down from the window.
