The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 322 Killian

"Interesting!" Ling Xiao was driving the car, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He really didn't expect that Jessica's sister Patricia also had special abilities. Jessica never mentioned this. There is no associated memory.

It seems that this ability was either awakened after Jessica disappeared; or she already had this ability before Jessica entered the Jones family. Either way, this is a very interesting thing .

When Patricia first began to perceive Ling Xiao carefully, he had already noticed him.You must know that even eyes have energy, let alone more specific spiritual energy.

Ling Xiao is still a little curious about Patricia's specific abilities, but now is not the time to explore. After Jessica returns to New York, he will have the opportunity to know the details.

Jessica has already been refined into a Taoist soldier by Ling Xiao. The reason why she was asked to go to New York this time was because of the original plot direction on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was asked to go back to find out the details of the hand and meeting.

Ling Xiao really didn't expect that the person who caught his attention last time was actually a hand and meeting person. He wondered if this was a play directed and acted by Baron Strack, and also wondered if the Viper was framing Baron Strack , I also guessed whether it was Alexander Pierce or John Garrett inside the S.H.I.E.L.D.

But it's normal to think about it. The five leaders of the Hand and Society were born in Kunlun in this world. After learning the details of the New York War, it is only natural that they are interested in Ling Xiao.

It's just that they were quite afraid of Ling Xiao's strength, so they threw out a pawn like Kilgrave to explore the way.What's more, they didn't expect Kilgrave to die under careful planning.And just after they talked on the phone, under a little panic, they finally showed their flaws.

Perhaps they didn't think it was a flaw, because the ninjas they sent were extremely careful to investigate around the warehouse and the New York Police Department, and it was impossible to startle Ling Xiao, who had been under surveillance by them.

Indeed, Ling Xiao did not find out about their secret investigation, but found out that they were actually investigating someone else, and that was Mina Tangde, the director of Hydra's Los Angeles branch.

The actions of the Hand and Society could not be hidden from the Los Angeles Police Department and the S.H.I.E.L.D., but how could it be possible to hide from the dark organization Hydra, which is also in the dark.

Since the hand and society will secretly plot against him, Ling Xiao will naturally not sit still.Since the hometown of Shouhehui is in New York, Ling Xiao will naturally send Jessica back, and this is only the first step he has taken. Shouhehui, hmph, you will pay the price.

The time is getting closer to Christmas, and the holidays are getting more and more intense. Ling Xiao suddenly received a call from Pepper on this day. She wanted to discuss something about Tony with Ling Xiao. Tony's recent state is not right.

There was no way to talk in detail over the phone, so the two made an appointment to have an interview at the Stark Industries Los Angeles branch the next morning.

After experiencing the alien invasion in New York, the Stark Building in Manhattan was almost in ruins, and it was impossible to put it into use in the short term, so Tony temporarily moved part of the Stark Industries headquarters to Los Angeles. Both he and Pepper also stayed in Los Angeles to work.

Ling Xiao made an appointment with Pepper at ten o'clock in the morning, so when he drove his pickup truck outside Stark's office building, there were already people coming and going, and he took out his ID card, Ling Xiao Xiao walked in and went up to the top floor, outside Pepper's office.

It seems that she is having guests now, Ling Xiao greeted Happy Hogan while watching the movement inside.

Standing in Pepper's office was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in an expensive plaid suit and with short blond hair, he looked very successful.

It's just that Ling Xiao felt a little strange that the actions of him and Pepper seemed a little too intimate, so Ling Xiao asked Hogan in a low voice: "Hey, Happy, who is that guy in there? never seen it?"

"It seems to be a guy named Killian." Happy seemed to be a little hesitant, and there was a three-point concealment in his words.

"Killian?" Ling Xiao blinked, his voice was a little high, which caught the attention of a young man sitting across from him. Although he was sitting a little lazy, when Ling Xiao mentioned Killian's name , his temperament suddenly became very sharp, which made Ling Xiao notice him all at once.

Ling Xiao immediately discovered the strangeness of this person and the powerful energy in his body that was like a furnace.

Killian, Ling Xiao remembered who he was. It turned out to be Dr. Killian who invented the Extremis virus.

At this time, a piece of news on the TV screen not far away attracted everyone's attention. It was the news that the President awarded Colonel James Roddy the title of Iron Patriot.

During this period of time, because a terrorist known as "The Mandarin" dominated the headlines of various news media on the TV network, this "Mandarin" not only planned to attack several US military bases overseas, killing and injuring hundreds of US soldiers and their families, There were even hackers who invaded the American TV News Network, publicly provoked President Ellis, and executed a high-level US military officer in front of him, causing an uproar.

Although the current presidential term has not yet expired, the just-concluded presidential election has confirmed that President Ellis's re-election campaign is successful.For the proud President Ellis, such an incident is definitely no less than pouring cold water on someone's face, and the anger can be imagined.

It was under these circumstances that the President formally introduced Colonel James Roddy to take charge of the matter in the name of the Iron Patriot.

Such a piece of news made the lively high-level Stark Industries staff quiet for a while. Ling Xiao noticed that Hogan's eyes had been secretly watching another young man sitting diagonally opposite him. It should be Killian's bodyguard.

He pouted at Hogan next to him, and said in a voice just enough for the guy on the other side to hear: "Happy, I bet that the guy on TV won't live for half a month, how about it, do you want to take a gamble?" .”

"Ling, I can't see that you have so much confidence in Colonel Roddy." Hogan looked at Ling Xiao with some amusement, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, since you want to give me some gifts, then I I just made a bet with you. If I win, you have to promise me that you will have the company to come to work for the next month, and you must arrive and leave on time every day for work, and you must wear your own identity badge. "

Ling Xiao knew that Hogan had just taken up the post of security director recently, and because of the newly updated security regulations, there was a little dispute with Pepper, and his purpose of doing this was to support him himself.The entire Stark Industry knows Ling Xiao's true identity, except for Tony and Pepper, only Hogan is left.

"Okay!" Ling Xiao chuckled, nodded, and said, "If I win, I want you to tell me all about Tony's romantic past."

"This..." Hogan couldn't help but began to hesitate. Ling Xiao's request was not too much, but it made Hogan feel very embarrassed. If Tony knew about this, he had to make him look good. After glancing at the young man opposite, Hogan gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "That's all."

"Do you know, Happy!" After Ling Xiao confirmed the bet with Hogan with a high-five, he said with a light smile, "I'm absolutely sure that the guy on TV won't live for half a month."

"Why?" Hogan didn't understand why Ling Xiao was so sure. You must know that it took several years for the United States to hunt down and kill this grandma with all its strength, but now this guy named Mandarin is cunning. The level is definitely not inferior to this **, how could it be so easy to kill him?

"No reason." Ling Xiao said calmly: "Because I know another person whose nickname is Mandarin, and he will never let anyone who steals his name go."
