Merlin received an invitation letter.
The address above is on a commercial street in Manhattan, not far from Hell's Kitchen.
And the sender of this opening invitation was an organization called Continental Hotel, and Merlin had never heard of it before. But after carefully reviewing the invitation letter, Merlin knew who sent it.
The invitation letter is printed, but there is a line of handwritten words at the last place.
"Looking forward to your visit."
A word without a head and a tail, but that Juan Xiu had a sharp font that Merlin had seen before.
"Thalia..."
He threw the invitation in his hand on the table, he said:
"This restless woman, the Assassin's recovery is just getting better, what idea is she playing?"
"However, it doesn't hurt to visit."
With this in mind, Merlin made a decision.
S.D.O.L.D. is currently in a cooperative relationship with the Assassin Alliance. Thalia’s “eyes” hidden at all levels of society continuously gather information from the hidden and dangerous radical variants and then pass it on to Merlin.
In exchange, Merlin acquiesced them to occupy a place under the new order of the alien world promoted by S.D.O.L.D.
The Assassin's League, which was hit hard before and suffered a massive loss of power, also caught up with the fast recovery due to this kindness. At least in North America, their forces are developing rapidly.
New York is the headquarters of the Assassin League in North America. Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Miami have three S.D.O.L.D. branches, and the Assassin League has also established branches there.
In the European region, because of the friendly relationship between Merlin and Gattler, the European headquarters of the Assassin Union also received some "care", and their forces there resumed their activities after a period of dormancy.
In short, Thalia took over the power of the demon head Lars. Al Gore. This ambitious woman was very lucky. Under the protection of Merlin, all her plans have received initial returns. After the most turbulent time, Thalia has firmly seated the throne of Master Ninja.
Thalia is really a very smart woman. She is different from her father. She is not as powerful as a demon head and has a strong personal charm. She knows that she needs the help of Merlin and SHIELD to complete the Assassin Alliance. The great cause of renaissance, so at least for this period of time, Talia’s request for Merlin was almost irresistible.
Whether it's tracing the remnants of Hydra or looking for radical mutants, the sub-Assassin League under Commander Talia has helped a lot.
Their powerful information-gathering ability saved the agents under Merlin's time from tracing many clues.
This mutual cooperation is called mutual benefit, but it is temporary. After the assassin alliance is further strengthened, SHIELD will certainly find a way to put the shackles on this organization that is active in the dark.
But that is the future, at least for now, the two parties are still in the honeymoon period.
"I don't know if that woman will invite Bruce."
Merlin picked up another document at hand, and while looking at it, he thought:
"Maybe there will be a resurgence of old feelings between them? And there is Demian sandwiched between them, hehe, it's interesting to think about it."
"However, this banquet seems to bring a female partner to attend."
Merlin rubbed his forehead:
"I don't know where Elsa is now...oh, forget it, take Hill."
————————————————
A few days later, another weekend came.
Changed to a decent black suit, Merlin, and drove two younger sisters to the opening scene of the newly built Continental Hotel.
When they arrived there, Agent Maria Hill was already waiting for them there.
"Hill, this skirt suits you very well."
Merlin opened the car door and watched wearing a long black dress, holding a handbag, and specially made hair and makeup. Agent Maria Hill. He admired without any hypocrisy:
"You are also beautifully dressed today."
"is it?"
Hill is a little bit unsuited to dial a long skirt that looks a little tight. As an internal agent, Hill does not often carry out field operations, nor like Natasha, can naturally integrate into various environments. .
She always wears a smart uniform and does not participate in entertainment activities. Dressing up like today is also very unusual for Hill.
But Merlin was right, Hill tonight is really feminine.
"Really, don't be so nervous."
Merlin held out his hand to Hill, who hesitated and put his hand on Merlin's arm. The two looked like a couple.
"Take it as work."
He said to Hill around him:
"You are an excellent agent, and I believe you can complete it perfectly."
"Ok."
Hill took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. She said to Merlin:
"Director Fury asked me to observe this force, and he was also curious about the Assassin League."
"I will refer you to Thalia."
Merlin looked at the brightly colored hotel in front of him, and he said softly:
"I believe that the cunning woman is also looking forward to your arrival."
Since Talia has generously sent Merlin an invitation letter, this proves that the new master Ninja does not mind having more in-depth exchanges and cooperation with SHIELD.
Of course, Merlin would not directly bring Fury to the banquet. On the one hand, Fury was very busy and it was estimated that he could not spare time. On the other hand, it was a little too strange for the two men to attend the banquet.
"He's really very devoted."
Behind Merlin and Hill, Lorna in a beautiful skirt whispered to the indifferent Ruiwen:
"Elsa, Zatana, and this Hill, and Carol in his diary..."
"They are just colleagues."
Rui Wen glanced at Agent Hill who was talking and laughing with Merlin. Her cold tone also showed a trace of dissatisfaction. She said:
"This is their job, but he had better converge tonight."
"Go, let's stare at him."
Two little girls like two dolls followed Merlin. Lorna grabbed Merlin's other hand and looked around with curiosity. I have to say that the hotel opened by Talia is really good only from the appearance. .
It is not as luxurious as other high-end hotels, adhering to the traditional decoration style of the Assassin Union, with a low-key restraint and a different taste.
Its entrance is not large, it can only accommodate 4 people side by side. After entering the hotel is a long aisle, carpeted, and the light above it is very gentle, a little dim, not so dazzling.
There are various murals on the walls around the hotel lobby. The reliefs from Europe, Africa and Asia give this hall a sense of humanity.
The opening ceremony held in Thalia didn’t seem to invite too many people to watch the ceremony, but for agents like Merlin and Hill, they could easily see the mainland hotel behind these invited people Strong background.
In the rotation of Merlin's eyes, the identity information of the invited guests around Icarus continued to appear on the lens. After connecting to the database of SHIELD, Icarus' information collection ability was almost enlarged without limit.
Merlin pushed his glasses. He turned his head and whispered in Hill's ear:
"There are at least six big businessmen from Europe in the lobby, as well as executive directors of several well-known foundations. I also saw representatives of several senators. Osborne Group, Quinn Group, and... Wei En Group, it seems that Ms. Talia has not been idle in recent years. She has found many strong partners for herself."
"I'm more curious about what this hotel does?"
Hill stared at the security personnel in suits and sunglasses. She could feel a kind of killing temperament from these people. She said:
"Are they all Assassins of the Assassin League? When will these people be able to publicly act?"
"This is probably a reform of the way of survival."
Merlin took Hill to the front desk, he said softly:
"It seems that it is not just us. The ancient Assassin League has also begun to change its form of existence in the new era. They are trying to catch up with the changes of the era."
He took the invitation letter out of his pocket and put it on the front desk.
The black-headed deacon with eyes on his eyes took the invitation and looked at it. Then he took out a key from the counter as usual and handed it to Merlin respectfully. He said:
"Please go to Room 204, the lady is waiting for you, distinguished guest."
"Ok."
Merlin nodded. He picked up the key and walked to the elevator with Hill and the children. After a few seconds, the elevator opened and Merlin saw a very familiar guy.
"Merlin?"
In front of Merlin, Tony in a gray suit was holding the waist of a lady in a red dress. At the moment the elevator door opened, the dude said in surprise:
"Why are you here?"
"I'm more curious, what are you doing here?"
Merlin asked:
"Do you know where this is?"
"Of course I know."
Tony grunted and said:
"That's why I came here. I have some spare money, and that beautiful lady Talia needs funds, and I need some intelligence, so we became friends."
"friend?"
Merlin shook his head and said softly:
"Then you have to be careful, Tony, be careful Thalia eats you with meat and bones."
"Tony."
The lady in the red dress beside Tony seemed to feel that the relationship between Tony and Merlin was not friendly. She just interrupted the conversation between Merlin and Tony. She said:
"Would you like to introduce me to this gentleman?"
"His name is Merlin."
Tony said to the beautiful lady with little freckles around her:
"It's mine... well, an acquaintance, barely a friend. As for his profession, he is a secret worker, a guy who is hard to get close to."
After that, he said to Merlin:
"This is Poz, my girlfriend and assistant."
"Hello, Miss Ports."
Merlin pushed the glasses, Icarus's lens quickly updated the information card of Miss Poz, added a new note, and Merlin, with a gentle smile, said to the lady who was a little blushed:
"I rarely listen to Tony so officially announce his girlfriend, he can change his girlfriend faster than he can change clothes, you have to watch him, I mean... it is better to let him converge personally Sloppy style, especially when he started to plan some dangerous things."
Merlin glanced at Tony and said:
"I persuaded him that it seems he finally made a regretful choice."
"Your words are too much, Merlin."
Tony took Miss Poz's hand and walked out of the elevator quickly. He said dissatisfiedly:
"Every time I see you, it will make you mad."
"Trust me, so do I."
Merlin walking into the elevator said to Tony:
"Wish you a happy evening."
"Ding"
The elevator door closed at the next moment. The elevator rose smoothly. After a few seconds, the elevator door opened again. Merlin took Hill and his two younger sisters to the room 204. He reached out and pushed the door open. I saw several guests sitting in this big house.
As the owner of the Continental Hotel, Thalia is sitting in the living room of the suite and talking to a silent man.
When Merlin pushed the door open, Thalia, who was wearing a burgundy dress, also turned her back, and she said to Merlin with a smile:
"Come on, Mr. Merlin, Bruce and I have just talked about you."
"You really invited him."
Merlin greeted Bruce sitting in the chair and said to Thalia:
"What's this? Is the old feeling revived?"
"There are children."
Thalia glanced at Demian sitting on the sofa and the two girls behind Merlin. She flicked her hair and said to Merlin:
"It's better to be serious when we talk... I don't want to make a bad impression on the children."
She said something, reached out and tried to touch Ruiwen's head to show goodwill, but Merlin's eyes quickly stopped her.
Ruiwen had already picked up a French seal, and the child did not like strangers to contact her.
"If your father is here, he will never rush into the most dangerous people here."
Merlin squeezed Talia's wrist and he whispered:
"I really doubt how you lived in the crisis-assistant League to the present, Thalia, is your vigilance too bad?"
Thalia also saw Ruiwen's indifferent gaze and the French seal held up by the girl's hand. She took a step back, but there was not much embarrassment. She glanced at Merlin and looked at her standing behind her again. Bruce got up, she said:
"With the two of you here, I think I can relax my tightness properly..."
"Come on, sit down."
Thalia invited Merlin and Hill to sit on the chair. Lorna sat on the sofa on the other side very familiarly. She looked around curiously, with a cold face, arms folded, and she Demian like an adult, she said:
"Brother, why don't you talk?"
Demian didn't seem to hear it, still maintaining that indifferent posture.
Ruiwen came over and sat next to Lorna. She glanced at the cold Demian. She snorted:
"Lona talks to you, there is really no tutor, I owe it!"
Demian glared at Ruiwen, but he still didn't speak. Until then, Bruce, who noticed the conflict between the children, while holding the tea cup, said to the two girls kindly:
"Don't mind, children, Demian didn't want to ignore you... for some special reason, his throat was hurt, and he can't speak now."
"Oh, what a pity."
Lorna glanced at Demian with pity. She soon lost interest in the handsome little brother, reached for the remote control, and started watching her favorite cartoons.
Rui Wen looked at Demian around her from time to time, and she could feel that the dark-haired boy also had a faint breath of magical power in the third house. And at a young age, he has a killing temperament that does not meet his age, and there are traces of real fighting.
He is very similar to Ruiwen, they are the kind of children who have no childhood.
This made Ruiwen more curious about Demian.
