Marvel Book of Magical Events

"You're not going to kill someone?" Tony Stark bared his teeth and asked in disbelief. He felt that the girl had broken his arm, and the heart-wrenching feeling almost made him unable to stand still. If Pepper hadn't supported him in time, he could only lie on the ground and issue accusations. Tony Stark took a few breaths, and he was sure that there must be a large bruise on his arm, which would take a long time to heal. To make matters worse, the signal transmitter implanted under his skin was also damaged, and the microcapacitor continued to discharge, causing his triceps muscles to continue to contract. "When did you suddenly get the idea to be a good person? The last tragedy you caused in New York caused the Hague Court to convict you of war crimes. What do you want to do now?"

"We won't be here long," the Emperor said politely, trying his best to ignore the choking smell of burnt insulating rubber in the air. The technical sage found that he had done everything he needed to do. After slapping the holographic projection table, he still could not successfully access the Stark group database. The artificial man technician growing from the Mars culture vat grunted in frustration. "When my aircraft lands in New York and comes to this building, my purpose will have been achieved. The whole of New York will know that the Latvians are here. Furthermore, they will know that the Emperor of Latovinia is here. .No one would have believed that you and Pepper were still alive, but you did, so you were left with two choices... You are familiar with the Federation's ways, do you think they would believe you, Tony Stark ?”

The emperor took two steps forward and with an inconspicuous movement kicked away the technical sage who was squatting on the ground trying to complete the work through physical wiring. He stood in front of Stark, looking down at him, and the subtext in his tone was chilling. It was not until this moment that Tony Stark realized the purpose of the Emperor's actions. The power was cut off, Friday was closed, electromagnetic interference was released, and the operation logs were cleared. There is no video or audio recording that can support the specific content of the current conversation.

After this, only Tony Stark and Pepper Potts could prove what happened here.

This zero-sum game under such a crisis of trust is destined to end with the disappearance of one of the parties. Regardless of whether Stark really surrenders to Latovinia, as the weaker party, he is the undoubted loser. It’s not just that the rescue bill cannot be passed, it’s not easy for the White House to come up with a sensible and correct bill. Those opponents in the Senate and House of Representatives who are eyeing Stark Industries will not let this opportunity go so easily.

This is part of the sausage-slicing tactic, and you don’t necessarily have to use a knife to kill someone.

Tony Stark wanted to say the emperor's name, but he suddenly found that he couldn't remember it. It was as if a cold knife had cut off a part of the memory from his mind and replaced it with a more familiar one. name.

"I'm not talking about threats, I'm talking about what's going to happen in the world, and you know what happens when one country has a nuclear bomb and another country doesn't. The world is falling into a new Cold War, and our job is to prevent civil war. Unite the human race to face the extraterrestrial invasion.”

The emperor lowered his head and glanced at the watch presented by the witch. Hammurabi was always watching the development of the situation outside the building through drones and rational surveillance. He told the emperor that there were several men wearing body armor and carrying weapons with Tony Stark's bodyguard Happy. Rushing all the way up the fire escape - the emperor nodded after listening to the briefing. Except that the bodyguards arranged by the Pentagon for Tony Stark arrived a little slowly, everything else was as expected. There are still ten floors away. The lock on the fire escape door that leads directly to the top floor has been cut open by Amon with a garrison spear, and the downward stairway is open facing the hall.

"I'm sorry, Stark, you will decide what price the continuation of the human race will pay. I will respect all your decisions, as long as you can bear the corresponding price." He made a gesture, and Aura followed The order moved the muzzle of the gun away and returned to the emperor. Even so, Pepper still clung to Tony Stark's shoulders, afraid that the tall, moody woman in power armor would take a shot at them. "I will notify you in advance when I come next time. If you are still alive, please prepare a bottle of good wine for me. Always have a glass of strong wine when discussing cooperation."

Tony Stark glanced nervously at the fire escape door. He knew that Happy would find a way to break in through the fire escape after learning that the elevator was out of service, and he also knew that the Pentagon had arranged a whole team of SEALs for him to ensure his safety. "Don't worry, I haven't gone so far as to plant bombs there." The emperor, who was surrounded by the Guards and Sisters in battle formation, smiled and shook his head, "But some people will definitely die today. Amon..."

"There are four more floors, my lord." The Guardsman skillfully turned the garrison spear in his hand and activated the electric shock bolt gun and the power switch of the blade. Although the opponent this time is a mortal, the Guards will not have any contempt for the opponent's weakness. He goes all out in every battle. "Surveillance showed they were carrying assault rifles and no explosives other than defensive grenades, flash bangs and smoke grenades."

"Wait until they get to this floor and kill them," the Emperor said. "Don't hurt Happy, that's Stark's friend."

Amon nodded and put the plasma grenade back on his waist.

"So we're going to let him go now?" Wanda was a little confused.

She drank a large glass of ice water and spent a few minutes to recover from the dizziness caused by the emperor's rough teleportation spell. Compared with the smooth teleportation gate, the teleportation that was as fast as a flash had the advantages of high speed and long teleportation distance. and other advantages, but the experience is really not very good for ordinary people.

All the teams that arrived in New York on the Pegasus super-heavy assault transport ship came back, but they were not transported to a low-orbit aircraft. Instead, they came to a hall with many antiques on display. A crimson cloak was swaying. It hit the counter glass, startling the sisterhood's heavy weapons team led by Aura. The constant honking of vehicles and the noisy and frightened voices outside the hall door indicate that they are not far away from New York. The mystics in robes coming and going around them also indicate that they are very safe here, because here It is the temple of Kama Taj.

"How do we ensure that Stark will make the decision we want?"

"It's very simple." The emperor first thanked the New York Temple Mystic who brought the water glass. "We will release the screenshots of Amon's combat records and the pictures of the corpses of the SEALs before all European and American media. Use public opinion. People will be backlashed by public opinion. The so-called fourth estate is actually not that obedient. They are just hyenas who want to make money. Thank you and the sisters for your service, Ola..."

The tall android bowed.

"I'm very happy that you can use the tiara I gave you." The emperor's tone was gentle and rarely showed to others. "Next, we will return to the manor through the portal. I believe Dinah will help you and Your sisters are preparing a delicious meal. Amon, I hope you can change your cloak. The smell of blood will scare the children."

"Yes, my lord. I am glad to see Milia."

"Oh, don't be stupid. Milia can't recognize the person under the helmet of the Imperial Guard." The emperor handed back the water cup to the mystic apprentice and handed him a jade talisman engraved with dense numbers and symbols. . This is a teleportation key. The entire manor has been jointly cast by the emperor and the witch to prohibit teleportation. Only by using this thing can the teleportation gate to the specified location in Oxford County be opened. "Tell Master Daniel that I need the portal to the Oxfordshire Manor and go now."
