Marvel's Great Old Ones

Chapter 68: Argument before action

The piercing ringing of the phone rang through the Church of Fools in the morning, and Daniel suddenly woke up from his sleep as if he had been shocked by electricity.

"Oh, my God, who is that guy? Why are you calling me every day?"

Daniel covered his head with a pillow with a helpless expression, but the damn ringtone still penetrated into his brain, exploding in his mind like a bomb.

It wasn't that he didn't want to answer the phone, or that he didn't want to cut the phone line, it was because Li Xiu didn't allow it.

That guy is mysterious all day long, who knows what he is doing.

Daniel has only been auditing at Manhattan University for half a semester, and the new courses will not be started until the teacher returns from the Vatican exchange.

Other real theology students are now either working in those cathedral churches or sorting out classics and materials in the school library.

As a man who paid money to join halfway just to learn how to operate a magic stick, Daniel was not qualified to participate in those activities even if he wanted to.

Li Xiu didn't know where he collected a lot of story materials about the Cthulhu Mythos, and asked Daniel to stay at home and study.

"Ugh!"

Before his hot-blooded youth could burst out, he was cut in half by the yellow-skinned devil.

In the bedroom downstairs, Li Xiu behaved very leisurely and took a lot of time to masturbate Cthulhu. Even if he stayed in the room, the phone would still ring.

The call came from the bastard director of S.H.I.E.L.D., because he had received a deposit of 10 million and delayed for half a month but still didn't go to rescue Tony.

Because of Li Xiu's guarantee, S.H.I.E.L.D. paid much less attention to Tony Stark's affairs these days, but as time went by, the pressure on Lu Dan's side also increased a lot.

Seeing that Li Xiu had not moved for such a long time, Nick Fury even wondered if he had taken the money and ran away with the cripple if it wasn't the same figure who saw him.

Li Xiu doesn't want to go to Stark too early now. According to the plot of the movie, it took Tony Stark about three months to escape from the Ten Rings Gang base that kidnapped him.

It has only been a month and a half now, and even if Tony Stark is found, he is still the foul-mouthed playboy, not the Iron Man who has experienced suffering and transformation.

What is Li Xiu’s purpose in talking about Tony Stark? Not for that little Ark reactor.

For this goal, there are two best times to rescue Tony Stark.

One was in the early days. At that time, it was called providing help in times of need, and the kindness was the greatest, but the Ark reactor was still under development at that time.

By then, Tony Stark will no longer have a sense of urgency about life and death, and Li Xiu will probably have to wait for a long time, as there will be too many changes.

The second is to wait until Tony Stark begins to prepare to save himself and Ethan dies trying to cover him. At this time, as long as the physics boss can keep his career as a doctor, he will definitely be able to get an Ark reactor.

However, what Li Xiu wants is not just a one-shot deal. You must know that the most important thing about Tony Stark is not the Ark reactor, but his brain, which is known as the seventh rough stone in the universe and is cursed by knowledge.

As long as we have a good relationship with Tony Stark, if we don't have anything, then we can open a three-bounce machine and directly build a nuclear reactor power station, and then we can absorb as much energy as we want.

Moreover, for Tony Stark, Li Xiu also has a plan that seems to be wild and wild, which is to let Tony build him a large solar converter in space based on the concept of Dyson sphere. Only then can it be considered a real take-off.

Not to mention how comfortable Li Xiu is in the bedroom, blowing on the air conditioner, and watching TV. In SHIELD, Nick Fury feels like he will be bald for the rest of his life.

"He still didn't answer the phone?"

"It does show that no one is answering." In the office, Coulson lowered his head and looked a little depressed, which made Nick Fury opposite him feel even more headache.

It's not that he doesn't want Coulson to take over other tasks, it's that he can't find a truly trustworthy subordinate in SHIELD for a while, so he can only let Coulson take over.

"The people we sent still couldn't get into the church. I don't know why, but they ended up going back in place not far in front of the church."

"That damn guy." Nick Fury cursed angrily in a low voice, and then asked: "What has the target done recently?"

"Yes, he is still committed to acquiring stocks. Now he holds a total of 10.5% of the shares of Stark Group. However, the conflict between his goals and Mr. Obadiah is already obvious."

"It's still being acquired. What is that guy thinking? Why hasn't he started taking action?" Nick Fury squinted his eyes, thinking that he, the majestic king of agents, was still a little helpless in the face of that monster.

I don't know why, but that monster seems to be able to predict the future and always knows some unknown information. This information gap makes Nick feel much less confident when facing Li Xiu.

"How's the guy's identity check going?" Nick asked.

"There was no result at all. He seemed to suddenly appear on the streets of Brooklyn. Before that, there was no trace of the other person's existence in this world."

"Okay, please step back first. I will personally advance the matter regarding that guy. As for your next actions -" Nick Fury hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Next, you will take a team with those Deep-sea exploration instruments and salvage instruments along Greenland and the Arctic Ocean..."

……

"Boss, when will you be back?" Daniel secretly glanced at the one-eyed dragon opposite who had a rocket launcher on his shoulder. Daniel couldn't help but hide behind Li Xiu again.

The guy opposite was a ruthless person. After shouting a few words outside the church, he started to explode with a rocket launcher.

"Oh, it's okay. It'll be quick. It's just a small thing for me." Li Xiu kicked Daniel away with a crooked kick and turned around.

"Hey, that one-eyed braised egg over there, look here. I'm telling you, you just blasted my window with a rocket. You have to pay for it, otherwise it will be very difficult for me."

Nick Fury's so-called promotion of Li Xiu is to go directly to the door with a rocket launcher to collect debts without making any phone calls, which is comparable to the so-called hard-core mayor of Russia.

A rocket launcher only left a black stain on the floor-to-ceiling windows in that corridor.

Faced with this situation, Nick Fury's pupils shrank, and then his face turned dark because of Li Xiu's shameless speech.

"Don't go too far, I've already given you a deposit of 10 million." Nick Fury replied coldly.

"No, no, no," Li Xiu put his hands in his pockets, shook his head and said, "That was Tony Stark's deposit, and now it's the compensation for breaking into a house."

"You...how much!" Nick Fury almost couldn't help but smash the rocket launcher directly into Li Xiu's face.

You still have the nerve to say that, if it weren’t for the fact that you kept delaying the payment, didn’t answer the phone, and didn’t see anyone coming, would I have come to your door like this later?

"Five thousand..." Li Xiu didn't finish his words, and finally took a step back in front of Nick Fury's cannibalistic expression. If he got angry to death, who would settle the remaining 90 million US dollars for him.

"Five million, US dollars, no matter if it's a penny less!" Li Xiu looked determined.

"Tony Stark whenever you go!"

"When will you give me the money?"

"Five million, okay!" Nick Fury said almost through gritted teeth, "Okay, now it's your turn."

"It's so refreshing, braised eggs!" Li Xiu said with joy on his face. Although he was not short of money for the time being, he could cheat a little bit.

"You prepare a plane for me to go to Afghanistan. I can do it now." Li Xiu opened his phone and looked at the bill collection information, and instantly became generous.

It didn't take long for Li Xiu to give instructions to Li Mo, Daniel and Norman Osborn, and then he took Cthulhu onto the plane prepared by SHIELD.

In SHIELD's airport tower, Nick Fury looked at the plane preparing to take off on the runway, his face uncertain, and his hand kept swinging back and forth in front of a red controller.

In the end, the silver-gray supersonic fighter successfully flew into the sky and roared towards Afghanistan...
