"Yo, isn't this Mr. Merlin?"
As Merlin talked to her sister-in-law, a frivolous voice rang behind him.
When Merlin turned his head, he saw Tony Stark, dressed in a red casual suit, sunglasses, and a shiny hair comb, holding the slim waist of a woman of great size, carrying a wine, and standing Behind him.
Um, a look that is going to pick things up.
"Tony..."
Merlin didn't want to deal with this guy, and while stroking Peter's hair, he said:
"How do you like a **** come to this occasion?"
"This is a fundraising ceremony, Merlin."
Tony said indifferently:
"And I am a conscientious businessman, I am passionate about social affairs, and I can make a lot of friends here. Besides, cold-blooded guys like you can come, why can't I come?"
"Tony."
There was a warning in Merlin's voice, he said:
"My family is here, pay attention."
Seeing the cold light radiating from Merlin's eyes, Tony shrank his neck subconsciously. He no longer ignored Merlin and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Look at this beautiful, radiant lady."
Tony did not hesitate to praise May. He was gentle and polite to May:
"You must be my friend Merlin's sister. I heard him talk about you many times. I heard that you are a person who is passionate about public affairs. What a coincidence. Me too. I am planning to invest in New York City. A welfare facility to help those in need."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Tony, Tony Stark, and it's nice to meet you."
"You are too kind, Mr. Stark."
May was a little embarrassed by Tony's explicit praise. She raised her glass and exposed the wedding ring on her finger, which made Tony nod slightly regretfully.
He pouted Merlin and then left with his female companion.
Watching the unspoken guy leave, Merlin was relieved.
He did not want his family to know his identity, which would bring them unnecessary danger.
"Merlin, did you expect you to be a friend of Mr. Stark?"
May said with some surprise:
"He seems to be the same as the rumors, a little demure, but very cute dude."
"Do not."
Merlin denied:
"He's just a beating guy, and a child who doesn't grow up."
"Yes, I think Merlin is right."
Ben said on one side:
"This Mr. Tony, feels a bit slick."
Well, it seems Ben had no affection for the guy who tried to hook up his wife.
"You two are really boring!"
Mei reached out to take the little Peter in Merlin's arms, and she turned her husband and brother at once, turned around and walked to the church, seemingly intending to take a rest.
"Speaking of who is that guy?"
Merlin stayed in place and spoke to Ben. He inadvertently saw a person talking to Father Paul, a big bald man with a sturdy posture and a cane, which looked a little arrogant, but the smile on his face was sincere.
Ben at Merlin sipped his wine and said to Merlin:
"That's Wilson Fiske, who is said to be a large foreign businessman who is preparing to invest in the property of Hell's Kitchen."
"Invest in the broken place of Hell's Kitchen?"
Merlin said in surprise:
"Is he crazy?"
"No, I heard that Mr. Fisk seemed to be born in Hell's Kitchen, probably because he planned to do something for his hometown."
Ben was slightly envious:
"It's really homecoming."
"Ok."
Merlin also nodded, he said:
"Indeed, someone tried to change the Hell's Kitchen, someone tried to pull this block out of hopeless chaos... this should be a good thing."
"In short, let’s wait and see what our Mr. Fisker can do."
"Yeah."
A scream sounded behind Merlin. He turned around and saw that Ruiwen and Daisy had started a new round of "fight". Merlin put down the glass and planned to intervene in the past, but Ben was stopped.
Ben Chenglin said to Merlin:
"Don't worry. Merlin, this is the friendship between the children. You believe me, Ruiwen and Daisy will become good friends."
"Ok."
Merlin hesitated for a moment, and finally did not intervene.
But it seems that, as Ben said, after the two girls have fought you a few times, under the mediation of Charlie and Eric, they have also restored peace, and under the secret attention of Merlin, they ignored it. Anyone's Ruiwen also spoke to Daisy.
I don't know what the two little girls are talking about.
Soon, the fundraising ceremony hosted by St. Agnes Abbey began. Father Paul gave a very sincere speech. The priest, who is very prestigious throughout New York, announced that the funds raised this time will be used to help Orphans in New York City.
Merlin donated his 2 months' salary, this is the intention.
The wealthy Tony Stark announced in public attention that he would donate US$5 million to St. Matthew's Church for public utilities, and he also promoted a new product designed by him, Stark Industries.
But even so, Tony is not the most beautiful child in this fundraising ceremony.
Wilson, Fisker, a very strong businessman who was born in Hell's Kitchen, donated $20 million at a time Within a year, turn New York’s most chaotic Hell’s Kitchen block into a place where kind people can live and work in peace.
This speech caused a wave of cheers.
The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, but it had nothing to do with Merlin. After the fund-raising ceremony, he took the family, along with Daisy’s parents, to a simple but warm-hearted meal at the Mick Hall in Queens. Feast.
During the meal, Merlin also saw Daisy put the sliced pizza on Ruiwen's plate, and Ruiwen, who had temporarily lost her magical ability, also poured orange juice to her new friend.
When she noticed that Merlin was looking at her, Ruiwen gave him a fierce glance, then she turned her face away and ignored him.
Well, it seems that he still has a long way to go to establish a good relationship with Ruiwen.
However, now it is barely a good start.
——————————————
In the early morning of the next morning, when Mei Lin prepared a healthy breakfast for his sister who was still sleeping, according to the tutorial found on her mobile phone, his door was knocked.
It was a rhythmic knock on the door, representing good etiquette for the knocker.
Merlin put the slices of bread in the toaster, set a time, then walked over and opened the door, and saw a big man standing in front of his door.
"Piot."
Merlin turned his body and invited him in. He said:
"Or, I should call you Steel Lux, which one do you prefer?"
"Anything you want is fine."
Steel Lux smiled softly. He was sitting on Merlin's sofa. The huge weight pressed the sofa down a bit and made a somewhat overwhelming sound.
"Uh, let me sit in a chair."
Piot smiled awkwardly, took a chair from the side, and sat on the coffee table.
While Merlin put the toasted bread and the prepared healthy breakfast on a plate, he said to Steel Lux:
"Wait a minute, I will bring breakfast to my sister."
After he finished talking, he walked into Ruiwen's room with breakfast. After a while, Merlin came out with a sullen face. Apparently, the attempt to draw closer to Ruiwen by breakfast was a failure.
The proud girl had spoken with Elsa and others yesterday, but she just didn't plan to talk to Merlin.
This made him a little depressed.
"This is the information and clues we have sorted out so far, Mr. Merlin."
Steel Lux opened the document bag in his hand and handed a few files to Merlin. The latter took it in his hand, sat on the sofa, and turned it over. After a moment, Merlin's expression became a little weird.
He raised his head and said to Steel Lux:
"The missing mutants disappeared silently? Every one?"
"Ok."
Steel Lux nodded, he explained:
"In the previous cases of disappearance, we went to the scene to see it. There are students who are good at tracking traces in the college, and the Hank tutor in the college has the smell and sense of the beast, but we still have not found any useful trace."
"There are no footprints, no traces of fighting, no blood stains on the scene, as if the mutants disappeared suddenly."
"Have you checked the energy residue?"
Merlin asked:
"Even if there are aliens involved, they will leave a certain amount of energy residue, and by analyzing those energy, they can determine their identity."
"We checked."
Steel Lux says:
"There are indeed energy residues there, but they are not anything we know. I brought data analysis of those strange energy."
He took a spectrogram from those files and handed it to Merlin.
"strange."
Merlin frowned and looked at the spectrogram in his hand. He said:
"This kind of data...I seem to have seen it before, let me think about it."
Merlin recalled for a moment, he looked up and said to Steel Lux:
"I did see it, but it involves some secrets of S.H.I.E.L.D., so I can't tell you for the time being. I will go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to verify, and if there is news, I will notify you."
"Ok."
There was a smile on Steel Lux's face. He said to Merlin:
"It seems that the professor's choice is indeed correct."
"Don't be so optimistic, Piot."
Merlin says:
"Just determining the energy residue does not mean that we can follow this clue. Most of these missing persons are in northern North America, that is to say, we are likely to go to Canada once, and there... but the variant The territory of the Brotherhood."
"I will be ready, Mr. Merlin."
Steel Lux says:
"Although I don't like violence, I can fight when necessary."
"Ok"
Merlin nodded. He focused on the broken clues in front of his eyes and stopped talking.
After a few minutes, Steel Lux suddenly asked:
"Mr. Merlin, I heard that you have been in contact with demonic forces?"
"Ok?"
Merlin raised his head and looked at Steel Lux. He didn't know why Steel Lux suddenly raised this question.
"I... have encountered some things related to demons."
Under the inquiry of Merlin's eyes, Steel Lux said a little sadly:
"I used to have a sister."
"once?"
Merlin tasted the word, he looked at Gang Lux:
"So, what happened to her? And it's about the devil?"
"Yes."
Steel Lux sighed, and this philosophical full body variant whispered:
"My sister and I were born in Siberia. My parents are ordinary people, but my sister and I are both mutants. You should know that mutants often bring a lot of uncontrollable danger when they wake up."
"Ok, I know."
Mei Lin nodded and said:
"That's why people don't like mutants, just like bombs that can explode at any time."
"Yes."
Steel Lux nodded sadly. The big man said:
"My sister awakened earlier than me. When I was 10 years old and she was 6 years old, on one night, the sick sister suddenly awakened her ability. The terrible psionic storm directly shattered my house, but fortunately it did not hurt. To my parents and me."
"My sister is very panic, and my parents are also somewhat at a loss, but they did not despise my sister for this. Instead, they took us all the way to a more remote place."
"But we still haven't escaped the crisis."
Steel Lux says:
"I remember it very well. When my sister was 7 years old, one afternoon, my sister and I came back from fishing in a small river nearby. As a result, I saw a fire in my family’s farm. I went to my parents, but I watched Arrived at their...corpse. Beside the corpse, there was a man wearing a red and earthy color robe...No, it’s not a person, it’s a demon!"
"I saw the shadow it projected on the ground, a grisly, twisted demon."
"It easily subdued me and my sister. It said that it came for my sister. It took her away and left me alone in the flames to die, maybe anger, maybe fear, in short , I also awakened my ability at that time and escaped from the flames."
"All these years, I have been looking for her."
Steel Lux lifted his head and said to Merlin:
"When I arrived at Xavier Talent Academy, I learned that Ms. Ororo was a wizard. I was pleasantly surprised at that time. I thought she could help me find the missing sister, but unfortunately, Ms. Ororo. .."
"She is a white wizard."
Merlin shrugged and said:
"White wizards don't deal with demons and demons. What you need is a black wizard...oh, I see."
Merlin nodded clearly:
"So, Ororo pushed me this trouble?"
"A really cunning woman. But the question is, how does she know that I will definitely help?"
