A handsome silver sports car parked in front of a high-end hotel in Washington. Before the door was opened, the flashing lights kept on. Under the eyes of the reporters gathered on both sides of the hotel, wearing a suit Tony Stark, who wore a very flirty little black dress and combed his hair to look like an adult, came out from the opened scissor door of the sports car.

He did not come alone, and Miss Potts was also in full dress.

Came here for a high-tech seminar, but Tony... Playboy has a way of turning it into a fashion show.

Why are there so many reporters here?

Miss Potts, who was used to seeing big scenes, was taken aback. She had accompanied Tony to some gatherings of scientists before, and most of the time, there would not be too many reporters to join her.

After all, in this era, the results of scientific research are far less explosive and eye-catching than the news of a celebrity cheating.

Calm down, my little pepper.

Tony held Miss Potts's wrist, smiled and waved to the reporters, and whispered:

This meeting is not ordinary. Most of the smart people in the world are gathered here, not to mention, there are official forces involved...

Before Tony finished speaking, he heard a scream from the crowd of reporters:

Look! Bruce Wayne! He's here too!

The next moment, the cameras that were originally pointed at Tony Stark turned around and looked behind Tony.

There, a low-key and luxurious limousine that looked like a classic car parked quietly at the entrance of the hotel, and the extremely formally dressed old Ah Fu got out of the car with a blank expression, and opened the door for his master and young master. car door.

At the moment when Bruce Wayne, who was wearing a neat suit, and his son walked out of the car door, something in Bruce's hand was lightly tapped, and those crazy flashing lights collectively went silent at this moment.

It was a small-scale pulsator, perfect for stopping reporters from harassing them for a short period of time.

Unlike Tony, Bruce Wayne doesn't like to show his face very much.

Hello, Tony.

Bruce took Damian into the hotel. When passing by Tony, the two playboys who were equally famous but with completely different styles looked at each other. Bruce extended his hand friendly, and Tony also extended his hand.

Hello, Bruce.

The two greeted each other, and their auras rushed into each other like a duel between masters, but it only lasted for a few seconds. Bruce nodded slightly to Miss Potts, and then followed the butler and brought his son into the hotel .

Wow, he's so handsome.

Miss Potts looked at the back of Bruce leaving, and she couldn't help but say:

No wonder all the women in Gotham are crazy about him...

I'm handsome too, okay?

Tony was a little jealous, which made him no longer interested in dealing with the media. He curled his lips and led Miss Potts into the hotel, where there were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents disguised as staff members entertaining guests .

Of course, the reporters at the door were still there, because the playboys and scientists who came today were not just Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark.

Look! It's Lex Luthor's car! I heard that the mysterious and low-key rich man has a bald head!

Many people have bald heads, so don't make a fuss. Hey, what's the logo on that car? Why haven't you seen it?

Stupid guy, that's the symbol of the Wakanda royal family...Wakanda is a small African country that doesn't make much news, but their princess is one of the smartest people in the world.

That's the mutant's flag, and they're here too? Aren't they building their own utopian island?

There are smart people among the mutants too... well, although I don't like them either.

Why are there still middle school students?

The editor-in-chief of your newspaper will definitely deduct your salary. You haven't even done the basic work well. That's Adimas Zhao, a Korean-American, a genius boy.

The reporters were discussing a lot, as lively as a vegetable market, and on the other side of this high-end hotel, a news interview car that arrived late was blocked two blocks away. In the car, the Planet Daily Reporter Louise Lane honked her horn frantically with annoyed expression, but the speed of the traffic-controlled streets couldn't be increased at all.

You're actually late today...

Clark Kent, who was sitting in the co-pilot, pushed his black-rimmed glasses and looked at his anxious colleague with interest.

Miss Lian En usually looks like an indifferent big sister, capable in doing things, and has a strong personality, but occasionally there will be some embarrassing scenes. Whenever this happens, she will behave like a little girl who has a temper.

Make Clark feel very interesting.

I had some wine last night...

Miss Lian En made a rude gesture to the car honking beside her with a displeased face, and she said in a low mood:

That bastard...I, I broke up with him.

Oh, that's how it is.

Clark nodded. He glanced at the depressed Lynn, and said softly:

Would you like me to help you teach that... You know, I'm a war correspondent, and it's okay to fight.

Forget it, it's pointless.

The lady reporter raised her head and looked sadly at the blocked street in front of her. She said:

What can we do? That seminar is about to start.

Clark didn't answer. He took out his phone and sent a text message. A few seconds later, a special message appeared in his mailbox. He reached out and patted Miss Lane, saying:

Let's go, park the car on the side of the road, let's walk over. I got the qualification for an internal interview.

Um???

Miss Lane looked at Clark in surprise, and she said:

How did you get it? Our editor-in-chief didn't even get it. It is said that this seminar has official power to intervene, and there are very few internal interview qualifications.

I said that.

Clark showed a mysterious smile. He raised the camera in one hand and said to his colleagues:

I have my own network...Speaking of which, tonight...go out for a drink?

Are you dating me, Clark.

Miss Lane asked in a strange tone:

You've always been so honest with ladies, I thought you were a jerk...

If you don't want to go, it's fine. I just want to help out when I see my friend is sad. Recently, I'm trying to appreciate the beauty of the soul... Well, your soul is very beautiful.

Tsk tsk, what an earthy love story.

Miss Lane made a puking motion, brushed her long hair, and said to Clark:

But... well, make another appointment tonight.

She parked the car on the side of the road with difficulty, and Clark carried the interview equipment and prepared to walk to the hotel, but just as she took a step, she was pulled back by Clark behind her.

hum

A black motorcycle accelerated and rushed across the blocked road, almost crashing into Miss Lian En.

However, there would be problems with stepping back suddenly while wearing high heels. For example, right now, Miss Lane, who lost her balance, threw herself on Clark's broad chest. The pose of the two of them, hmm...pretty bad.

Uh, that seems to be Eddie Brock?

In order to avoid embarrassment, Miss Lian En stood up with a flushed face and looked at the motorbike and rider stopped by the traffic police in front of her. She said in surprise:

Isn't that guy in San Francisco? How could he appear here? He's still racing along the road.

Who is that?

asked Clark.

An investigative reporter who has gained a reputation in recent years.

Miss Lane is very familiar with the affairs of the industry. She said to her colleagues:

He's a popular candidate for the Pulitzer Prize this year, and he's one of my biggest competitors. But it looks like he's going to be taken away by the police, which is just right, hurry up, Clark, we must Make big news.

———————————————————

Since it is related to strategic affairs, even though the directors and members of the World Security Council have been busy investigating the assassination of Gideon Malik in recent days, and at the same time busy fighting for power and profit, they have not relaxed. Schedule for the Future Technology and Artificial Intelligence Symposium in Washington.

S.H.I.E.L.D. received a large sum of money to maintain the Future Technology Foundation, so Fury made a bold move and directly took over the entire hotel.

The seminar lasted for 3 days, and each invited participant had his own room, including those invited businessmen, rich people and politicians who were enthusiastic about technology affairs, and even the president was invited to participate in the first day Speaking at the opening ceremony, several candidates who were preparing to run for the next president were all present, expressing their sense of responsibility to the country and the world, while striving for more exposure opportunities.

At this time, there was still an hour before the official opening of the seminar, but the banquet hall on the upper level of the hotel was already full of voices.

Entrepreneurs and politicians are busy making connections everywhere. They walk around with their beautifully dressed partners holding wine glasses, chatting with acquaintances, and turning strangers into adults, while scientists are more dull. They all sit On the sofa, discussing scientific matters in whispers with each other.

But there are exceptions.

For example, a guy like Tony who is both a scientist and a successful businessman with a high reputation, quickly became one of the protagonists of the banquet with the help of his skillful communication skills.

All in all, a lot of fun.

Merlin also mixed in the crowd very low-key, because he proposed the proposal of the Future Technology Foundation, so he is also one of the high-level executives of the omnic plan. Of course, Merlin is busy with affairs, and this matter is more promoted and monitored , is under the sole responsibility of Agent Maria Hill, and this is also the first time that Agent Hill has promoted such a large-scale strategic operation as the person in charge.

She seemed a little lacking in confidence, and Merlin kept encouraging her.

Well, one more thing, today Hill once again wore a long dress like an evening gown... very beautiful, just like the last time she went to attend the opening ceremony of the Continental Hotel, she appeared as Merlin's female companion.

Merlin walked to the edge of the banquet hall, and he saw a tall and thin guy in a blue suit. He felt that the back of this guy was familiar, but he had no memory of him at all.

So Merlin asked tentatively.

Hank?

oh?

Beast Hank turned his head, then smiled at Merlin:

What's wrong? Have you never seen me like this?

Where's your pretty blue mane?

Merlin asked in surprise:

And those mighty claws, fierce eyes? Look at you, now you look like a guy who can be blown down by a gust of wind... I'm still more used to your previous appearance.

I temporarily suppressed gene x with a suppressor.

With a glass of wine in his hand and his left hand in his pocket, Hank said to Merlin:

After all, I'm here on behalf of the mutants at this meeting, so I have to keep a low profile and behave mildly. The professor also meant that.

Okay, Professor...

Merlin blinked, he took a sip of the wine in his hand, and said to Hank:

Your human form...you have delicate features, maybe many girls will like you.

Do not make jokes.

Hank said:

What I want is knowledge that I don't have access to, that I don't understand... So, have you told everyone else? About the point of the discussion, advocating the development of artificial intelligence...

From what you're saying, you don't seem to like the idea very much?

Merlin says:

Do you hate artificial intelligence, Hank.

No, I don't hate it, I like to see technological advancements. But if the advancements are not controlled, I will hate them.

Hank whispered:

Now, in this world, there are many uncontrolled mechanical life beings that are constantly recovering. I have a premonition of a crisis, Merlin, and I think you should be able to understand this crisis. This is also the reason why I am here, although I don't like the way you mislead people with science, but I have to admit, it's a good way.

Actually, there is a better way.

Merlin turned his head and smiled at Hill who came to him. He naturally put his hand on Hill's slender waist. He turned back and said to Hank:

If nothing can be done, I will find a professor to change the thinking of most people in the world at once...in order to avoid possible large-scale conflicts.

Hank's expression changed, and he said:

You're kidding, right?

you guess?

Merlin gave Hank a smile of unknown meaning, then walked towards the crowd behind him with Hill on his arm.

When he was far enough away from Hank, Hill beside Merlin suddenly asked in a low voice:

Boss, you were joking just now, weren't you?

What do you say?

Merlin and a senator who had met a few times raised their glasses to each other and said:

You think I'm joking too, Hill.

I don't think the World Security Council will allow you to do that.

Hill replied:

I don't think you would do that either.

At some point, the achievement of order is more important than how it is achieved. Of course, that is in the worst case. After all, I am not a crazy person.

Merlin took a sip of his wine. He didn't intend to continue talking about this question. He put down his glass, looked at Hill, and said:

Well, the perfume I used today is good, even better than last time.

Look, Reed, here comes the smartest guy in the world, let's go meet him.
