Chapter 51: Lynn Hall is Not Someone We Can Afford to Offend!
Inside a van in an alley in Queens.
"Damn it, now the whole internet is reporting on Tony Stark's mechanical prosthetic, and no one cares about what happened in the town under Oswego's jurisdiction!"
Looking at the information online, Green frowned and said to his companion on the video call.
"Isn't that normal?"
Facing Green's complaint, his companion was quite open-minded: "Compared to us wanting to uncover the truth hidden by the government, the public is more willing to peek into the lives of celebrities, especially their private lives."
"Now, the news of Tony Stark's mechanical prosthetic has overshadowed the truth about that town under Oswego's jurisdiction."
"But when Tony Stark's bed video with a Hollywood actress breaks out, do you believe the public will immediately forget about the mechanical prosthetic?"
Hearing his companion's answer, Green curiously asked: "You actually have a bed video of Tony Stark and a Hollywood actress? Which actress is it?"
"See, even you are like this, let alone the ordinary people far away from that town!"
Watching his companion's shrug, Green was silent for a moment and said: "Ovis, the philosophy of our Tide Organization is to uncover the truth hidden by the government and return the right to know to the public."
"No matter what, I must thoroughly investigate what happened in the town, and I hope you can..."
"I don't recommend you continue doing that!"
Looking at Green, who still wanted his help, Ovis shook his head and said: "This time, the person handling that town is Lynn Hall of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"Believe me, Green, he is not someone we can afford to offend!"
"Why? Didn't we also make the Federal Bureau of Investigation run in circles before? Ovis, I hope you can give me some help."
Hearing Ovis's slight retreat, Green said anxiously: "I need more detailed information, damn it, ever since the Federal Bureau of Investigation sealed off that town, I've tried every method and can't find any follow-up on the matter."
"For this, I even hacked into the Military's satellite surveillance database, but unfortunately, I couldn't even find a single photo of that town."
"I don't believe the town being blown up was really a terrorist attack by the Polar Bear as stated in the press conference, Ovis, as the strongest hacker in the Tide Organization, I hope you can..."
Before Green could finish speaking anxiously, Ovis directly said: "Don't even think about it, Green, I told you, the person leading the team is Lynn Hall, you can't afford to offend him!"
After speaking, Ovis directly hung up the video.
After the video call ended, Ovis turned his head and looked at an elderly man sitting not far away: "Officer, the Tide Organization is becoming more and more uncontrollable."
"I suggest that from now on, we should conduct a blood transfusion within the Tide Organization, otherwise the Tide Organization will sooner or later get out of our control!"
Hearing Ovis's words, the old man sitting on the sofa holding a cigar chuckled: "In that case, you will preside over this blood transfusion."
"Disobedient beasts should be skinned and eaten!"
"Yes, Officer!"
Hearing the old man's command, Ovis immediately nodded, and then photos of several people appeared on the computer.
However, looking at a girl named Skye among them, Ovis thought for a moment and marked her as a backup.
Then he transmitted the list of the other people.
After doing all this, Ovis turned his head and looked at the old man: "Officer, regarding Lynn Hall, whom we are currently recruiting, do I need to create an internal file for him?"
"Not for now!"
Waving his hand, the old man pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray: "He has only joined the Brotherhood for now, and has not truly become one of us."
"Even if he officially joins us, if he doesn't pass the test, he won't get true trust!"
"There's still one week until the Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's daughter's engagement ceremony begins, let's talk about everything after that engagement ceremony ends!"
"Yes, Officer!"
Hearing the old man say this, Ovis nodded.
At the same time, inside that van!
"FUXX!"
Watching Ovis hang up the video, Green cursed under his breath.
He didn't understand what ability that guy named Lynn Hall had, as both were from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to make someone like Ovis retreat.
Looking at the town video he had posted, it was now swept into the "trash heap" due to loss of attention.
Green took a deep breath, then put on his headphones, ready to continue posting new videos about that town.
The case conclusion from the press conference was false, this was not a biochemical virus created by the Polar Bear at all, and the destruction of the town was not a terrorist attack by the Polar Bear.
The public needs to know the truth!
Just as he was wearing his headset and recording the video with an impassioned voice, the next second the van door was instantly pulled open.
The leading strong man pulled him out of the car without hesitation and pressed him to the ground.
Another woman got into the car and started operating on his laptop.
"Damn it, let me go, who are you? You are kidnapping, you are..."
Before the angry shout finished, a pair of brand new leather shoes appeared in front of him.
He struggled to raise his head and look up, only to see a handsome young man smiling at him.
"Green Tracy, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, a member of the Tide Organization, insists on the concept that the public has the right to know, and for this, he has hacked into the Military database seven times, and also hacked into the Pentagon."
"Who are you?"
Looking at this young man who not only knew his name but also what he had done.
Green struggled to ask.
"Lynn Hall of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation!"
Signaling Sean to pull him up from the ground, Lynn Halllooked at Green, who was handcuffed, and said: "I have always been kind to people, so whether you hacked into the Military satellite or the Pentagon, I can pretend not to see it."
"But you, of all people, shouldn't continue to investigate the matter of that town under Oswego's jurisdiction."
"You are Lynn Hall?"
"You've heard of me?"
"The public has the right to know the truth, you have hidden those..."
Before Green could finish speaking, Joey walked out directly with the laptop: "Boss, he's still posting videos about that town, and there's also some interesting stuff in his computer, also, I found some chat records about Tide Organization members on this computer."
Hearing Joey say this, Green immediately struggled, wanting to rush over and destroy the computer.
But the next second, Sean kicked him in the knee, making him kneel on the ground.
"Can you find other Tide Organization members through the network?"
"I need some time!"
"No problem!"
Looking at Green, who was kneeling on the ground, held down by Sean, Lynn Hall smiled: "The one thing we don't lack is time!"
Chapter 52 Spider-Man's Hasty Escape
"Hey, what are you doing? It's daytime. Are you kidnapping someone?"
Just as Lynn Hall ordered Sean to leave with his men, a young man's voice appeared at the alley's entrance.
Turning around to look at the alley's entrance, he saw a guy in a Spider suit blocking the way.
However, compared to the classic Spider suit, this one was clearly a combination of several clothes, not only ill-fitting but also somewhat bulky.
What was even more outrageous was that this Spider-Man was holding a box of eggs!
The moment he saw this "freak," Sean immediately drew his pistol, ready to tell him to scram.
But Lynn stopped him.
Although he hadn't expected that after biting Gwen, that spider had bitten other people as well.
But clearly, this "newly debuted" Spider-Man was Peter Parker!
Because he hadn't learned to hide his voice yet.
Similarly, Peter Parker, holding a box of eggs, recognized Lynn.
So, realizing that Lynn was leading an FBI team to apprehend a criminal, Peter Parker immediately said, "Uh, sorry, Mr. Lynn, I didn't know you FBI agents were arresting someone. I'm really sorry."
Mid-sentence, Peter Parker immediately covered his mouth.
Damn it, he had called out Lynn's name directly.
Looking at Peter Parker, who was still a Spider rookie with no experience whatsoever.
Lynn Hall walked forward, pretending not to know him: "Who are you? How do you know my identity?"
"Uh..."
Facing Lynn's "interrogation," Peter Parker suddenly panicked.
He stammered for a long time, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's because I've seen you, Mr. Lynn Hall, on TV."
"On TV?"
"Yes, sir, it was the press conference after Tony Stark was rescued from the Middle East."
To avoid revealing too much, Peter Parker took two steps back, then used his web-shooters to stick to the rooftop and leap up: "Sorry for disturbing your investigation. Also, I'm Spider-Man."
As Peter Parker hastily fled the scene, Lynn Hallchuckled.
A Spider-Man, a Spider-Woman, New York is going to be lively from now on!
"Boss, that guy said he was some Spider-Man?"
Coming up to Lynn, Sean chuckled, "I've never heard of a guy like that in New York!"
"Maybe he's a newly debuted young guy. Forget it, Sean, you and Joey take this guy back for interrogation and see what you can pry out of him!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's order, Sean immediately nodded.
Lynn, on the other hand, opened the Chevrolet and said to Dennis, "Get in my car. We're going to meet those two little girls!"
"Okay, Boss!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Dennis Johnson nodded and got into the passenger seat of Lynn's car.
Ten minutes later, in a community in Queens.
"Boss, I've already told Laura and Polaris about today's meeting. They should be waiting for us at home."
Getting out of the car, Dennis Johnson said, "But Boss, are you sure it's just the two of us? Don't we need to send people..."
"Didn't you say these two little girls wouldn't hurt anyone?"
Looking at Dennis, Lynn smiled and patted his shoulder: "You are my subordinate, so I naturally trust what you say. Besides, we are going as guests, not for an arrest, so there's no need to make such a big fuss!"
Looking at Lynn's trusting gaze, a surge of emotion welled up in Dennis's heart.
He hadn't expected that his Boss would trust him so much.
One must know that although Laura and Polaris were young, one 13 and the other 14.
But they were Mutants after all, and high-threat level Mutants at that!
Yet, despite this, his Boss had come here with no preparations, just because of his words.
Thinking of this, Dennis took a deep breath, then went to press the doorbell.
He finally understood now why Sean and Alice were willing to take bullets for their Boss!
Lynn naturally didn't know what Dennis was thinking.
But even if he did, Lynn would only say, young people are so easy to fool!
In fact, over the past week, Lynn had already thoroughly investigated the past of Laura and Polaris.
Including what happened to them in the orphanage, and what they did after leaving the orphanage.
Otherwise, even if Lynn coveted the abilities of these two little girls, he would never have so easily brought Dennisto their doorstep.
Inside the room.
"Dennis has brought his superior!"
With two pigtails, Laura turned to Polaris, who had dark green hair and a melancholic expression, and said.
Hearing Laura's words, Polaris closed her eyes, felt for a moment, then shook her head: "There's no ambush. There are only the two of them around!"
"Then that means Dennis's statement is credible, right!"
Walking forward and linking arms with Polaris, Laura said with a giggle, "Lorna, this is the first time I've known that someone from an official organization is kind to us!"
"Don't be careless."
Looking at Laura's giggling appearance, Polaris LornaDane looked outside: "I don't trust them. Even if they show kindness to us, who knows what they're planning in secret?"
"Don't forget the disaster two years ago, if it wasn't for..."
"Oh, I know!"
Hearing Polaris about to bring up the incident from two years ago again, Laura chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll make him tell his true purpose!"
"Besides, Dennis brought them, and we don't have anywhere else to go, so we might as well see what this FBI guy really wants to do!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the doorbell rang outside.
"I'll get it."
After saying that, Laura pattered to the door and opened it.
The moment she opened the door, Laura looked at Dennisand Lynn, and a hint of light that could cause hallucinations flashed in her eyes, then she pretended to be nonchalant and smiled: "Dennis, long time no see, welcome to our home!"
"Long time no see, Laura, Polaris!"
Greeting the two, Dennis then introduced Lynn Hall to them.
After entering the room, Lynn Hall subtly sized up the two little girls.
Clearly, just as Dennis had said.
Laura was outgoing, and Polaris was somewhat melancholic.
And although the two looked harmless, Polaris was actually ready to attack at any moment.
If any "accident" were to happen, Polaris would launch an attack and then escape with Laura.
Chapter 53 Polaris: Are you a mutant too?
"Please, have some Water."
After inviting Lynn and Dennis to sit, Laura, being very well-behaved and sensible, poured a glass of Water for Lynn and Dennis, then sat next to Polaris.
"Thank you."
Lynn took the water glass but did not drink from it. Instead, he looked at Laura and Polaris and said, "I've heard about you two from Dennis."
"The purpose of my visit this time is also to help you!"
"Mr. Lynn Hall, I don't think my sister and I need your help!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Polaris's cold tone was full of self-preservation.
"Is that so? Then the Military's wanted order isn't fake, is it!"
Seeing Lynn say this, Dennis, who was about to pick up his water glass to drink, looked at Laura and Polaris in surprise: "You two are wanted by the Military? How come I've never heard you mention this?"
Facing Dennis's surprise, the well-behaved Laura was about to speak, but a hint of gloom flashed in Polaris's eyes: "The Military is persecuting us, just because we are Mutants!"
"The reason isn't that simple, is it?"
Looking at the cool Polaris, Lynn smiled and said, "The reason the Military is hunting you is because when you came to New York from Ohio, you used your abilities to kill two men."
"After the police found the bodies, they checked surveillance footage and, after confirming it was a Mutantattack, chose to report it."
"After receiving the report, the Military issued a wanted order for you. You should be glad that the Military's main target right now is the disbanded Brotherhood of Mutants."
"Plus, you two sisters are still young, so they haven't taken you seriously. Otherwise, you would be in prison or a laboratory right now!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Polaris snorted, "Those two deserved to die; they actually tried to molest us!"
"We were just defending ourselves!"
"Do you think the Military will listen to your reasons?"
Taking out his phone and placing it on the table, Lynnsmiled and pushed it towards them: "Of course, the most important thing is that Colonel Stryker doesn't know that you, Lorna Dane, are Magneto's daughter."
"Otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, a surge of energy erupted from Polaris's body.
The items in the room instantly rose into the air.
The tips of some knives, forks, and cutlery in the kitchen were all pointed at Lynn Hall, as if they could pierce Lynn Hall's body in the next second.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Dennis immediately stood up to shield Lynn, while urgently saying to Polaris, "Polaris, the boss means no harm to you and Laura."
"Otherwise, a large number of fully armed FBI Agents would have come this time!"
Looking at Dennis, who was blocking Lynn and trying to shield Lynn Hall with his body, Polaris said coldly, "Move aside, or I'll take you down with him!"
"Polaris, calm down. Laura, you should try to persuade her..."
"Move aside, Dennis. There's no danger here."
Patting Dennis on the shoulder, Lynn told him to sit down.
"As expected of Magneto's daughter, your ability is quite good!"
"Aren't you afraid?"
Looking at Lynn, who was in the vortex of danger, yet showed no fear on his face.
Polaris gently swiped her finger, and a butter knife floated directly in front of Lynn: "Since you know I am Magneto's daughter, then you should know that it would be easy for me to kill you!"
"Are you sure?"
Looking at Polaris's cold little eyes, Lynn Hall raised his hand and grasped the butter knife in front of him, then instantly disappeared the next second.
"Now?"
With the sharp blade against Polaris's neck, Lynn Hallstood behind Polaris and smiled, "Do you still think it's an easy thing to kill me now?"
Feeling the chill on her neck, Polaris's pupils instantly constricted.
This was the first time she had directly felt the threat of death.
Even if Lynn just moved his hand slightly, her throat would be easily slit by him.
Raising his hand, Lynn Hall gently patted Polaris on the head and casually threw away the butter knife: "Remember, don't be so irritable next time."
Saying that, Lynn sat back down on the sofa, a bright smile still on his face: "Now, can we have a good talk?"
"Are you also a Mutant?"
Watching Lynn's instant teleportation behind Polaris, Laura's eyes immediately lit up: "That explains it. No wonder you don't discriminate against or fear us, and you even got Dennis into the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
"No wonder Dennis always says that you have great goodwill towards Mutants. Oh my goodness, I never thought you were one of us!"
Laura looked very excited, as if she had gone through countless hardships and finally found her organization.
Even the originally gloomy and irritable Polaris looked at Lynn with much warmer eyes.
Only Dennis looked at Lynn somewhat confused.
Wait, when did the boss become a Mutant?
It was known that ever since the first Mutant War, official organizations had found effective ways to distinguish ordinary people from Mutants.
They could be distinguished by genetic testing.
And to join a powerful department like the FBI, genetic testing was absolutely unavoidable.
So... how could the boss be a Mutant?
Lynn Hall didn't pay attention to Dennis, who was somewhat doubting reality.
Laura Bellock's favorability: 4
Lorna Dane's favorability: 3
Looking at the two young girls on the system, who at this moment showed strong favorability because they mistakenly thought he was one of them.
Lynn Hall had no intention of explaining this misunderstanding.
Let it be a misunderstanding; it would greatly help him gain their favorability and trust anyway!
"Can you remove the hallucinatory effect now? I think I've been in a hallucination from the moment Dennis and I entered the room!"
"Of course!"
Clapping her hands happily, the next second the room's furnishings instantly changed.
Even the glass on the table turned into an ordinary paper cup.
"Um, Mr. Hall, how did you discover that you were in a hallucination?"
After removing the hallucination from Lynn's and Dennis's minds, Laura asked curiously, "Please don't mind me, I just want to know what your purpose is for finding my sister and me."
"At that time, I didn't know you were also a Mutant, so..."
"Understandable!"
Nodding gently, Lynn Hall smiled, "I've investigated your information and know that you are very resistant to official organizations. Now that an official organization has directly come to your door, your hearts must be full of vigilance, wanting to know my true purpose."
"Plus, I learned about your ability from Dennis, so before entering the room, I did a small test and found that pricking my finger with a needle caused no pain, so I could confirm that you had cast a hallucinatory ability on me."
Chapter 54: Lin En is targeted by Mystique
Inside a special, very secluded prison in New Jersey.
After sliding the special meal tray through the small window, the prison guard looked at Magneto, who was sitting with his eyes closed, and said, "Time for lunch!"
Hearing the prison guard's voice, Magneto didn't move, still sitting there quietly with his eyes closed.
Seeing Magneto motionless, the prison guard pushed the tray further in again and whispered, "I've already told Mystique where you're being held. It won't be long before she figures out a way to rescue you!"
Hearing the prison guard's words, Magneto continued to keep his eyes closed, but he opened his mouth and asked, "Lorna."
"Owl said that she and Laura were taken by the FBI!"
Before the prison guard could finish speaking, Magnetoinstantly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the prison guard instinctively took a step back.
"How did those hyenas find Lorna? Didn't I tell Owl to protect Lorna in secret?"
"Tell Raven to immediately gather the Brotherhood of Mutants members and rescue Lorna at all costs!"
Hearing Magneto's command, the prison guard said, "According to the information from Owl, Lorna and Lauraleft willingly with that FBI Agent."
"She saw it very clearly; Lorna even voluntarily got into the FBI Agent's car."
"What?"
Hearing that Lorna was willing, Magneto frowned.
Before he could say anything more, the prison guard continued, "Also, since your last defeat, Mystique said that most of the Brotherhood of Mutants members have been recruited by a mysterious force. Time is running out now. Do you have anything you want me to relay to Mystique?"
Facing the prison guard's question, Magneto was silent for a few seconds: "Tell Raven not to rush to rescue me. Instead, figure out why Lorna was willing to be taken away by that FBI Agent."
"If Lorna is being deceived, or if that FBI Agent plans to harm Lorna, then eliminate him immediately!"
"Understood!"
Nodding subtly, the prison guard took out the meal tray: "If you don't want to eat, then don't!"
With that, he turned and left.
Leaving the cell corridor and passing through the inspection room, the prison guard placed the meal tray on the table.
"Dane, Magneto isn't eating lunch again?"
The two prison guards on duty saw him come out with the meal tray and asked with a smile.
"Heh, if he doesn't want to eat, then he doesn't. Anyway, we just need to make sure he doesn't starve to death!"
Saying that, Dane glanced at his watch: "Oh, by the way, I've already requested leave. I'm going to the hospital this afternoon to see my daughter."
After telling his colleague, Dane returned to the changing room to change his clothes.
Driving away from the prison, Dane finally left smoothly after passing through the Military's layers of checks outside.
On the way, he took out his phone and called Mystique.
After relaying Magneto's words, Dane hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, seeing a sum of money added to his account, Dane put down his phone and drove towards the hospital.
He was just a messenger; every time he relayed information, he would receive a substantial reward.
A few more times, and his daughter's medical expenses would be covered!
At the same time, in a certain councilor's home in New York.
"You heard it too, Smith, Magneto's daughter was taken by an FBI Agent!"
Hearing Mystique Raven's words, Smith sat on a chair and said, "With Owl secretly watching, Lorna will be fine."
"All I want to know now is where exactly you've imprisoned Lina?"
Looking at the questioning in Smith's eyes, Mystiqueleaned back in her chair and smiled, "I know she's the only light in your dark childhood, but she's been married to this councilor for five years, and you're still thinking about her?"
"Smith, this doesn't fit your reputation as an executioner!"
Looking at Mystique's teasing, Smith's dark green pupils instantly turned completely black.
"Alright, alright, don't be nervous, she's still in New York. I said that for your sake, I wouldn't harm her."
"Smith, her councilor husband has already been eliminated by us. Once we rescue Magneto and establish a Mutant nation..."
"Perhaps you can marry her. I believe Erik won't mind you marrying an ordinary person as your wife!"
His pupils returned to dark green, Smith stood up and said, "I'm going to find Owl and rescue Lorna!"
"Wait!"
Seeing Smith about to leave, Raven called out to him: "Don't rush to rescue Lorna. With that little bitch Owlwatching her, Lorna won't be in danger."
"Our main goal is to rescue Magneto. Let's try to gather people."
"Okay!"
Hearing Raven's words, Smith nodded.
After he left, Raven picked up a photo that was pressed down by a document.
The photo showed Lynn Hall taking Lorna, Laura, and Dennis into a Chevrolet.
Clearly, she knew from the first moment Lynn Hall took Lorna away.
Inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation building.
Upon entering the FBI department, Laura and Lorna were full of curious gazes.
They had never imagined that one day they could openly enter a government department. They followed Lynn, full of novelty, to his office. Barbara, who was currently engrossed in watching a variety show on her computer, saw her boss come in with two little girls.
She asked curiously, "Boss, where did you trick these two little girls from this time?"
Listening to Barbara's words, Lynn Hall returned to his seat and said, "Take them to get their onboarding done. Tell the Human Resources Department to use the special talent recruitment clause."
"Also, arrange a school for them!"
"We're not going to school."
Hearing that Lynn was actually going to arrange for them to study, Laura and Lorna spoke at the same time.
"Little sisters, not going to school won't do."
Looking at the two little girls, one well-behaved and one melancholic, Barbara said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll arrange a very good one for you."
"Lynn, can't we not go to school?"
Pulling Lynn's sleeve, Laura pleaded, "You promised us that we sisters could stay by your side."
"Don't worry, Lorna's and my abilities can definitely help you!"
Seeing Laura and Lorna's strong resistance to going to school.
Lynn thought for a moment, then said, "You don't have to go to school, but I will arrange for someone to teach you."
"Barbara, first take them to complete their onboarding procedures. Oh, and no genetic testing is needed!"
"Understood!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Barbara's gaze towards Laura and the other girl also became friendlier.
It seemed these two little girls, like herself, were Mutants recruited by the boss!
Chapter 55 Gwen's First Battle
Barbara and Laura went through the onboarding process. With the identity of an FBI Agent, the two of them no longer had to hide every day.
In fact, Lynn had planned to keep these two young girls by his side from the beginning.
Firstly, whether it was Laura's hallucinatory abilities or Polaris's weakened Magneto abilities, both could provide help to Lynn at critical moments.
Secondly, it was also convenient for increasing favorability.
Lynn Hall glanced at the variety show Barbara had been watching, which was full of occult gimmicks like exorcism and haunted house exploration. He chuckled, then took out his phone and sent a message to Gwen.
Compared to Peter Parker, who was wearing a "bulky" Spider-Suit, Gwen had officially debuted as Spider-Woman on the New York City stage these past two days.
Her first target was a group of drug dealers from Mexico, who Uncle George had been having his officers monitor recently.
Drug dealers were always ruthless, and since Gwen had just "debuted," Lynn naturally felt a bit uneasy.
Looking at Gwen's reply, Lynn told her not to act rashly, then put away his phone.
Lynn naturally wanted to personally oversee Gwen's first battle to feel at ease.
In the evening, Lynn was in his penthouse apartment in Central Park.
"Since you two don't want to live with Barbara, then from today onwards, you can live here."
After arranging for Laura and Lorna to stay in the guest room, Lynn ordered some takeout.
Then he said to the two of them, "I have some things to do tonight and won't be back. You two should rest well."
"Okay, X2!"
They nodded obediently. After Lynn left, Polaris said to Laura, "Laura, why are we living with Lynn?"
"Although he's an adult and wouldn't have any ideas about us two, we are, after all, two girls. It's very inconvenient!"
Facing Polaris's question, Laura shrugged, took a bottle of Water from the refrigerator, and handed it to her.
Seeing that Lorna didn't take it, Laura drank it herself.
"Laura..."
"Haven't you always wanted to know which prison your father, Magneto, is imprisoned in?"
"I don't want to know!"
Hearing Laura's words, Polaris's small face instantly clouded over. "I don't care if he lives or dies!"
Looking at the stubborn Polaris, Laura smiled and walked forward, taking her hand. "Come on, Lorna, don't I know what you're thinking?"
"Trust me, Lorna, with Lynn's status and position, he definitely knows where your father is imprisoned."
"Although you keep saying you don't want to see him, sometimes you even call out 'Dad' in your dreams!"
Hearing Laura say that, Polaris was silent for a moment. "I just want to find him and ask him why he adopted me after my parents died when I was three, and then sent me to an orphanage when I was seven!"
Looking at Polaris, who clearly longed for a family but still acted tough.
Laura said with a smile, "Alright, alright, whether you want to find your father or question him about why he abandoned you, we need Lynn's help."
"Trust me, once we get completely familiar with Lynn, he will definitely find a way for you to see your father!"
Looking at Laura's confident demeanor, Polaris nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Laura."
"Hehe, no need to thank me. Don't forget what you said, you'll always have my back from now on."
At seven in the evening, the sky gradually darkened.
"I'm so sleepy today, Mom and Dad, I'm going to rest first."
Yawning, Gwen said goodbye to George and Helen, then scurried back to her room.
Seeing his daughter go to rest so early, George asked his wife worriedly, "Why is Gwen going to rest so early? Is she feeling unwell?"
"Don't worry, Gwen is just a little tired."
Seeing her husband's worried expression, Helen smiled and said, "Gwen said Lynn is teaching her many courses that she would only learn in college, so she's been studying very hard every day."
"I guess she's been overthinking. Don't worry, it'll be fine after Gwen starts school next week."
Hearing his wife say that, George finally nodded.
Back in her room, Gwen lay on her bed and started playing on her phone.
When it was almost 7:30, Gwen put her phone aside and pretended to be asleep.
Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, Helen gently opened Gwen's door.
Only after seeing Gwen already asleep did she close the door again with peace of mind.
The moment the door closed, Gwen listened carefully for a while.
After confirming that her mother had left the hallway, she pulled back the covers and took out her Spider-Suit from under the bed.
Dressed in her Spider-Suit, Gwen carefully opened the window and climbed out.
Then she used her web-shooters to swing into the distance, gradually disappearing into the night.
Queens, inside a private room on the third floor of a bar.
"Damn it, why is the supply getting scarcer recently?"
The bar owner looked at the drug dealer sitting across from him on the sofa, then frowned and said, "Do you know how much money I'll lose if the supply is halved?"
Hearing the bar owner's words, the leading Mexican drug dealer said, "Things haven't been peaceful recently. Those cops are on us like mad dogs."
"A few days ago, we not only lost a large batch of goods but also several men, and even our transportation channels were completely busted by the cops."
"I don't care about that!"
Facing the leading Mexican drug dealer's complaints, the bar owner closed the box on the table. "If you can't make the transaction with the required weight next month,"
"Then don't blame me for finding other partners."
"Are you threatening us?"
Hearing the bar owner's words, the leading Mexican drug dealer frowned and asked.
"You can interpret it that way!"
Looking at the drug dealer, the bar owner snorted, "If New York's underground emperor hadn't suddenly suspended all drug business recently, do you think you could have entered the New York market?"
"Remember, next month I need enough goods, otherwise, you can forget about doing business in Queens!"
Outside the window.
Hanging upside down by her web, Gwen held a miniature camera and recorded everything happening inside the private room.
After the transaction was completed, Gwen put the miniature camera into the containment device on her waist.
Then she took out the electromagnetic pulser Lynn had prepared for her and pressed it.
"Click!"
As the button was pressed, the next moment, the once lively bar instantly lost power, and the private room became completely dark.
"FUXX, what's going on?"
"Damn it, are you trying to rip us off?"
"Bullshit, my reputation has always been the best, Damian, go out and see what's going on?"
Watching the two groups in the private room instantly draw their weapons and become wary of each other, Gwen took out a powerful flashbang grenade, shattered the glass, and threw it in!
Chapter 56 Barbara's Moan
A strong flash of light in the darkness temporarily blinded everyone in the private room, and then Gwen rushed in and began to fight.
The sudden attack startled everyone in the private room.
With their eyes "blinded," the two groups began to fire their weapons wildly.
For Gwen, who possessed Spider-Sense, the drug dealers' firearms were nothing more than decorations.
Moreover, these "blind" individuals had no idea where Gwen was, and the bullets fired from their guns could only hit each other.
Gwen, whose Spider-Suit had night vision, could easily see them.
After kicking the drug dealer leader into the wall, she grabbed his arm and hung him outside the window.
After securing him in the air with her web-shooters, Gwenthen focused on the other drug dealers.
After training with Lynn, Gwen easily broke the arms of these guys.
Soon, one by one, the wailing drug dealers were fixed to the bar's outer wall with webs.
These were all her "gifts" for her father; they couldn't die!
Watching the bar owner crawl out on the ground, Gwengrabbed him and jumped outside.
After securing the bar owner to the wall with webs again, Gwen took out the unregistered phone Lynn had given her and prepared to call her father.
Before she could dial the number, the private room door was kicked open.
A group of guys armed with various firearms rushed in, and upon seeing Gwen outside the window, they immediately prepared to shoot.
Seeing this, Gwen instinctively took out her electrode pads, preparing to throw them.
But before she could act, the next second, the sound of a sniper rifle suddenly came from the opposite rooftop!
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
After several consecutive gunshots, the gang members in the private room fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Gwen looked towards the opposite rooftop.
Putting away his sniper rifle, Lynn Hall stood up, made a gesture to Gwen, and then disappeared from the spot.
Seeing Lynn disappear, Gwen's mouth curved upwards, and then she took out her phone and made the call.
At home.
Hearing his phone ring, George instinctively picked it up and glanced at it.
Upon seeing it was an unknown number, he frowned and answered.
"Director George Stacy, please bring your team to XX Bar immediately. The Mexican drug dealers and the bar owner have been subdued by me, and I have photographed the evidence of their transaction, which is in their coat pockets!"
Listening to the electronic synthesized voice on the other end of the phone, George Stacy was about to ask who it was.
But the next second, the call was directly hung up.
"What's wrong?"
Helen asked curiously, looking at her husband's somewhat puzzled expression.
"Someone said that the Mexican drug dealers we've been investigating have been subdued, and the evidence of their drug dealing has also been found!"
Saying that, George picked up his jacket and stood up, saying, "Although I don't know if it's a prank, I need to take people to check it out."
"If it's true, then we can completely close the net this time!"
Saying that, George Stacy leaned down and kissed Helenon the face: "You rest first, I might not be back until midnight."
After speaking, George Stacy turned and left the house.
On the other side.
Gwen, who had just finished her first battle, was extremely excited at this moment.
After arriving at the agreed place with Lynn, Gwendirectly pounced on Lynn and kissed him several times.
Looking at the overly excited Gwen, Lynn gently patted her back to help her calm down.
Once she had completely calmed down, Lynn smiled and said, "You did great!"
"Of course, regarding this battle, I've been simulating it in my mind. Originally, I planned to catch them one by one when they were alone and throw them at the Policestation entrance."
"But thinking about how Dad wanted to catch them red-handed to wipe them all out, I thought of photographing the evidence of their transaction!"
"By the way, Lynn, wasn't my performance good tonight!"
Looking at Gwen, who was seeking praise, Lynn smiled and affirmed, "It was indeed very good. Although there were some minor flaws in the process, the overall performance was good."
Saying that, Lynn pulled Gwen to conduct a debriefing.
Through Lynn's debriefing, Gwen realized that there were still many shortcomings in her plan.
For example, after blinding them with a flashbang, electrode pads could be used to incapacitate them.
She could also use props to make them like startled birds, killing each other.
After reviewing the events one by one, and hearing the distant siren sounds.
Lynn then smiled and said, "Alright, now that it's over, hurry back so Aunt Helen doesn't worry if she finds out."
Hearing Lynn say this, Gwen nodded.
She stood on her tiptoes, kissed Lynn on the mouth, and then swung away with her webs towards home.
Outside the bar.
"My goodness."
Looking up at the drug dealers who were fixed to the wall by webs, currently wailing in pain.
A Police officer subconsciously said, "What? Did a Spider-Monster attack them?"
"Why do these drug dealers feel like food bound in a spider web?"
"Stop talking nonsense, first get these drug dealers down, and also carefully check their pockets, there might be photographed transaction evidence inside!"
Hearing the Director's words, these Police officers immediately began to act.
And one of the sergeants curiously asked, "Director, how do you know there's evidence in their pockets?"
Facing the sergeant's curiosity, George Stacy did not answer.
In his mind, he recalled that unfamiliar number.
Half an hour later, in the apartment where Lynn originally lived.
Lynn, who had just showered, sat on the sofa, while the TV was still playing a variety show with a mysterious theme.
The host of the variety show held a microphone, speaking to the camera about the legends of the abandoned mental hospital in front of them.
Meanwhile, Barbara, a loyal viewer of this show, was kneeling in front of Lynn, diligently performing fellatio.
A few minutes later, Lynn picked up Barbara, who was moving her mouth, and walked into the bedroom.
At this moment, the TV in the living room continued to play horrifying background music.
When the host, with the camera and a group of young people, entered the abandoned mental hospital.
A painful cry also came from the bedroom.
[Barbara Kent's favorability is 7, you gained 50 experience points.]
Hearing the system's prompt, Lynn Hall paused.
Looking at Barbara, who was teary-eyed yet clung to his neck, Lynn Hall suddenly felt as if he had opened a door to a new World.
It turned out that favorability could be gained this way!
Moreover, when Shawn and Alice's favorability reached 7, they only gave him 5 experience points, but Barbaraactually gave 50 experience points directly.
This was normal, after all, Barbara was a Mutant, while Shawn and Alice were just ordinary people.
However, now was clearly not the time to think about these things. Looking at Barbara, whose pain was gradually disappearing, Lynn began to act again.
Chapter 57: Peter Parker: If She's Spider-Woman, Who Am I?
Early in the morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the blinds.
Lynn Hall withdrew his arm from under Barbara's head, looked at the still-sleeping Barbara, and then got up and went to the living room.
After picking up the Water on the coffee table and drinking a glass, Lynn directly opened the System.
Name: Lynn Hall
Intelligence: 3
Strength: 4
Speed: 2
Endurance: 3
Energy Emission: 0
Combat Skills: 6
Skills: Krav Maga LV10 [MAX], Firearms Mastery LV9 [2574/11000], Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu LV7 [755/2100], Muay Thai LV7 [125/2100], Cold Weapon Mastery LV6 [740/2600], Super Strength LV1 [0/1500], Teleportation LV1 [0/2000]
Experience: 1580
Ever since Gwen became Spider-Woman, 9 points of favorability could provide him with 500 experience points every week.
Previously, the favorability was also 9, but it only gave 50 experience points per week—a tenfold difference!
Tsk… it seems that gaining favorability with Superheroes or Super Villains is more cost-effective, even if it's more difficult.
Next are the favorability points from Ability Users, such as Mutants like Barbara, or other Super-powered individuals.
Although Gwen's first gift after becoming Spider-Womanwas experience and not an ability, Lynn was not in a hurry.
With 9 points of favorability, a gift once a week meant that an ability would eventually be granted!
Lynn looked at the skill bar, thought for a moment, and then directly upgraded the Super Strength skill.
As Super Strength upgraded to LV2, Lynn instantly felt his strength almost double!
Watching Super Strength in the skill bar turn into LV2 [0/3000], Lynn immediately closed the System.
As he went to the bathroom to wash up, Lynn suddenly thought of last night.
If he and Gwen did that, would the favorability directly increase to 10 points?
Thinking of this, Lynn shook his head; after all, Gwen was still living at home.
He'd wait until she turned eighteen next year and went to college, staying with him instead of at home, before considering it.
New York Police Department.
"Director, the phone number you asked us to investigate is unregistered, and we are unable to track the holder through this number."
Standing in front of George Stacy, the technical department reported, "Moreover, the usage history of this number is very clean; there is no second contact besides you!"
Hearing the report from the technical department, George Stacy nodded.
"Did the surveillance cameras in the streets near the bar capture the specific situation?"
"It did!"
Saying that, the technical department handed the tablet to George Stacy.
Taking the tablet and glancing at it, it showed the entire process of Gwen's actions, filmed from the street opposite the bar.
"Director, this Spider-Woman should have a companion."
Pointing to the latter half of the video, where the group of people in the bar's private room were shot dead by Lynnusing a sniper rifle.
The technical department said, "After our analysis, when Spider-Woman caught the bar owner and a group of gang members rushed in to shoot her, Spider-Woman's companion used a sniper rifle to shoot them from a distance."
"We compared the direction of the bullets and found that the sniper position should have been on the rooftop of the building opposite the bar."
"Unfortunately, when we sent people to check, we found the rooftop to be extremely clean, without even a trace left behind."
"In addition, not only the surrounding surveillance, but the process of Spider-Woman attacking the bar last night was also filmed by many passersby and posted online, and there is a lot of discussion about this matter online now."
Hearing the report from the technical staff, George Stacynodded gently.
After signaling him to leave first, George Stacy thought for a few seconds, then took out his phone and dialed the number from last night.
After a few rings, the call connected, and George Stacyheard the electronic synthetic voice say, "Director George Stacy, you should be satisfied with last night's gift, right!"
"Who exactly are you?"
"New York City's friendly neighborhood Spider-Woman!"
Listening to the electronic synthetic voice, George Stacysaid solemnly, "Spider-Woman, first, on behalf of the New York Police Department, I want to express my gratitude for everything you and your companion did last night."
"But at the same time, I hope you understand that New York City has a complete legal system, and the New YorkPolice and the National Guard are capable of protecting the safety of ordinary citizens."
"Therefore, this city does not need vigilantes to help. I am very grateful for everything you and your companion have done, but I hope you can abide by New York's laws and not disrupt the order of this city!"
After speaking, George Stacy directly hung up the phone.
"Director, many media outlets have come outside the Police Department hoping to interview you; they all want to ask about Spider-Woman from last night!"
Hearing his subordinate's words, George Stacy nodded, "I know!"
In Gwen's room.
Looking at the hung-up phone, Gwen sighed softly.
She hadn't expected her father to be so resistant to her other identity.
Clearly, she was helping him!
Although she had received her father's thanks, it was clear he didn't want her other identity to continue acting as a vigilante in New York.
Thinking of this, Gwen took out her phone and sent a message to Lynn.
Inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation building.
Barbara was holding a tablet computer, still watching the rerun of that mysterious gimmick variety show.
Lynn looked at the message Gwen sent and comforted her with a few words.
He opened his computer and watched Uncle George, who was currently giving a rather strong-willed interview to the media.
Lynn, however, was not surprised at all.
He was very clear about Uncle George's attitude towards "vigilantes."
Whether it was Spider-Man or Spider-Woman, in Uncle George's eyes, they were all presences that disrupted New York's order.
He just wondered what Uncle George's reaction would be when he found out that Gwen was Spider-Woman!
Thinking of this, Lynn closed the video.
At the same time, in Peter Parker's home in Queens.
Watching the interview on TV, Peter Parker nearly spat out his Water.
Uncle George's attitude towards Spider-Woman and her companion on TV wasn't the main point.
The main point was... New York suddenly had a Spider-Woman?
Oh my goodness... could it be that during that science exhibition, the spider bit another girl besides himself?
Watching the media constantly broadcast Spider-Woman's incredibly splendid Spider-Woman suit and the various high-tech weapons in the devices on her waist.
More importantly, she also had a very powerful companion?
Upon seeing this, Peter Parker subconsciously glanced at his own bulky Spider suit, which he had hidden away.
Why did he feel like, compared to her, he was more like a fake and shoddy substitute?
He shook his head, throwing that strange thought out of his mind.
At the same time, a hint of excitement rose in his heart.
He had a peer now!
Chapter 58 Senior's Engagement Ceremony
After media reports and videos circulating online, in just one week, videos of Spider-Woman completely exploded in popularity.
After Spider-Woman became famous, more and more videos of her constantly appeared online.
Some showed Spider-Woman swinging between buildings in New York City, while others showed her helping an elderly person cross the street.
The most popular videos were undoubtedly Spider-Woman using her webs to pin several car thieves to a wall, and her resolving two gangs who were shooting at each other over territory, saving many innocent bystanders.
Through videos constantly appearing online, many people learned that a new vigilante had appeared in New York City.
However, just a few days later, another Spider-Mansuddenly emerged.
Compared to Spider-Woman, who used relatively "cruel" methods against criminals, this Spider-Man preferred to verbally spar while incapacitating villains.
Although Spider-Man seemed more approachable, surprisingly, public opinion online leaned more towards Spider-Woman.
After all, she had saved many people from the hail of bullets from gang members!
Brooklyn street.
Looking at the gang members lying on the ground, some with broken arms, others with broken legs.
Spider-Man, who had arrived by swinging on webs, looked at Spider-Woman and said, "Hi, Spider-Woman, nice to meet you for the first time. I'm Spider-Man. Actually, I'm not a fan of yours, and dressing like this isn't to imitate you, but—"
"Okay, you did debut a few days before me, but I actually became Spider-Man much earlier. By the way, the inspiration for my Spider-Suit was already there, and it's not the same as your suit..."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Looking at the talkative guy in front of her, Gwen frowned and said, "If you have nothing to do, then go help more people in need!"
"Cool, I didn't expect your thoughts to be the same as mine."
At this point, Peter Parker shot a web to pin a gang member who was trying to pick up a gun to the ground.
Then he looked at Gwen and said, "Spider-Woman, although our ideas are the same, I think you might be a bit heavy-handed. Sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
Looking at Spider-Man, who was organizing his words while also being very talkative.
Gwen glanced at the Police car driving from afar and said, "The Police are here. If you're free, then hand them over to the Police!"
After speaking, Gwen swung away from the spot using her webs.
Watching Spider-Woman leave, Peter Parker scratched his head.
However, after glancing at the Police car, he shot a web and chased after Spider-Woman.
Ten minutes later, on the rooftop of a building.
"What exactly do you want to do by following me?"
"Don't misunderstand, I don't have any ill intentions!"
Raising his hands to show he had no ill intentions, Peter Parker looked at Gwen and said, "I'm just a little curious, are you a member of some organization?"
"I've seen videos of you catching drug dealers. In that video, there was clearly a very powerful sniper helping you, plus you have many high-tech products."
"So I think there must be a very powerful organization behind you, that's so cool!"
Hearing Peter Parker say this, Gwen asked curiously, "So, that's your purpose for finding me? You want to join us too?"
"Uh, I think since our ideas are consistent, both for helping these ordinary people, so I want to understand your organization, like, are there any requirements to join you?"
"If it requires knowing my true identity, then forget it. I don't want my family to be implicated because of that!"
Listening to Peter Parker's somewhat sincere tone, Gwenpondered for a few seconds, then said, "I'll have to ask!"
"Also, don't follow me anymore. If he wants you to join, then he'll find you!"
After speaking, Gwen leaped from the building, then swung through the buildings with her webs, gradually disappearing.
Watching Spider-Woman leave, Peter Parker shrugged his shoulders.
Actually, the idea of joining the organization behind Gwenwas just a simple test for him.
Since becoming Spider-Man, Peter Parker felt that being a good neighbor to the citizens of New York City was great.
But it would be even better to have a companion.
Spider-Woman's appearance gave Peter Parker a feeling of finding a kindred spirit.
Plus, they both punish bad guys and help ordinary people in need, so Peter Parker was very curious about Spider-Woman and the organization behind her.
If he could join an organization with similar ideals without revealing his true identity, and even get a salary.
Then Peter Parker would definitely be willing to join.
After all, Mei and Uncle Ben were still worried about his college tuition for next year.
Although he could apply for a loan, Peter Parker felt that getting a salary as Spider-Man would definitely be the luckiest thing!
"Oh no, I completely forgot about my date!"
As soon as he thought of his date with Mary Jane, Peter Parker immediately slapped his head.
Swinging rapidly towards Queens with his webs, he hoped he wouldn't be late for this date!
On the other side.
Sitting on the edge of a building, Gwen took out her phone and sent a text message to Lynn.
Through her Spider-Sense, Gwen could confirm that this somewhat talkative Spider-Man had good abilities.
If he could become a helper, it should also be a good option!
Seeing Lynn reply with "got it," Gwen put her phone away.
Hmm, he must be busy right now.
Washington, inside a luxurious hotel.
Lynn Hall, in the somewhat messy room, was indeed very busy at the moment.
After all, today was Jessica's engagement party, and as her junior, he certainly had to help out well!
"Hoo."
Lying on the carpet, beads of sweat appeared on Jessica's forehead.
Between her two elbows was an exquisite photo frame, and inside the frame was a sweet engagement photo of her and her fiancé!
Watching the sweat drip onto the engagement photo, Jessica raised her hand, adorned with an engagement ring, and wiped it away.
Turning her head to look at the tireless Lynn, Jessica's voice was soft and sweet, "Junior... you... you seem a bit excited today!"
"Slap!"
Slapping Jessica's perky butt, Lynn Hall looked sternly at his senior, who was full of happiness in the huge engagement photo on the wall, and said, "Don't disturb my work!"
"I-I'm wrong..."
Turning her head back to focus on the engagement photo between her elbows, looking at her fiancé's doting and adoring eyes, Jessica felt her soul seemed to tremble.
Jessica then whispered, "Be careful recently, someone is coming for you!"
Chapter 59 Tony Stark's Request for Help
Chapter 5: Stark's Plea for Help
Lighting an after-sex cigarette, Lynn Hall slowly exhaled a light blue smoke and asked, "Someone wants to deal with me?"
"That's right!"
Jessica stood up, took a file from the drawer, handed it to Lynn, and said, "I heard you've already taken care of Miller Field, one of the other three Assistant AgentSupervisors."
"How did you know?"
Hearing Jessica say that, Lynn took the file and asked.
"Didn't Miller Field secretly report some 'unfavorable' evidence about you to the Internal Affairs Department a while ago?"
"Then, a few days ago, he initiative went to the Internal Affairs Department and said that the information he reported was wrong, and it was a misunderstanding, blah, blah, a lot of nonsense."
"If I didn't know you had already taken care of him, then I would be a useless Internal Affairs DepartmentSupervisor!"
She raised her head, wanting to kiss Lynn, but he refused.
Jessica playfully slapped him and continued, "After he flipped, I had the Internal Affairs Department keep an eye on him, and it turned out he's been watching the other two Assistant Agent Supervisors recently."
"He should be paving the way for you. Alan Maxi is easy to deal with, even though several senators have come from his family."
"But Kenny Davis is very tricky. After all, his uncle is from the Department of Justice. I heard he's already preparing to deal with you!"
Getting out of bed, Lynn Hall asked while putting on his clothes, "How did you get such confidential information?"
"Heh, don't forget who my fiancé's father is. He's one of the nine Supreme Court Justices."
"He has a good relationship with the one in the Department of Justice. My fiancé heard a snippet when he attended a dinner with his father."
Jessica stood up and helped Lynn Hall straighten his clothes, smiling, "My fiancé doesn't know what our relationship is like. He still thinks we don't get along!"
"But seriously, you really need to get serious, Lynn. The Federal Bureau of Investigation seems to have a lot of power, but politics is always dirty!"
Once again refusing Jessica who leaned in to kiss him, Lynn said, "Woman, you're too greedy!"
"You bastard!"
Jessica rolled her eyes at Lynn, who became very firm after pulling up his pants, and said, "This information I got through my dad's side. It's all about Kenny Davis and those who have a grudge against his family."
"So, junior, how are you going to deal with him?"
Putting on his jacket, Lynn walked out and said, "Just like feeding you a Baby's Gripe Water beforehand, I like to eliminate unstable factors before they erupt!"
After speaking, Lynn left the room directly.
Before the engagement ceremony dinner began, James Duke brought Lynn to a Brotherhood gathering sponsored by HYDRA.
It could be said that the members attending this Brotherhood gathering included not only dignitaries and social celebrities but also elites from all walks of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Listening to their conversations, a casual decision could affect the livelihoods of thousands of people.
Lynn finally realized what true power was.
He had thought James Duke would reveal his fangs through this gathering, "forcing" him to join HYDRA.
Lynn had even prepared how to express his "shocked" emotions.
But until the end of the gathering, James Duke did not show his attitude.
He just patted Lynn's shoulder before leaving, smiling and telling him to pay attention to the stock of a newly established group.
Obviously, HYDRA was going to send him money again to corrupt him.
After the Brotherhood gathering ended, the engagement dinner officially began.
Sitting next to James Duke, Lynn watched Jessica, dressed in an evening gown, holding her fiancé's arm.
In his mind, he imagined her in a wedding dress.
Tsk... During the day today, she refused to wear the wedding dress no matter what, insisting that she would only "invite" him when she got married.
"Lynn, I've always been curious, you and Jessicagraduated from the same university, how did your relationship become so strained?"
Looking at Lynn, James Duke asked with a chuckle.
"Director, you know me, I always like to be kind to people."
Facing James Duke's inquiry, Lynn Hall smiled and said, "It's just that when I was in college, I had a significant conflict with Jessica's boyfriend."
"I was young back then, so I used some methods to get Jessica's boyfriend 'expelled'."
"I only found out later that guy was Jessica's first love."
The truth of the matter was not important; at least James Duke was still chuckling after hearing Lynn's answer.
"No wonder Jessica always found you an eyesore and caused you trouble everywhere. But Lynn, it's not good for you to have such a strained relationship with the Internal Affairs Department."
"Moreover, her father is also the Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
At this point, James Duke looked at Lynn and said, "How about this, I'll find an opportunity to help you mediate, which will also help your future promotion!"
"Thank you, Director!"
Looking at James Duke's "supportive" demeanor, Lynn Hall sincerely thanked him.
While talking with James Duke, Lynn Hall's phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Tony Starkcalling.
He stood up, walked to the side, and answered the phone, only to hear Tony Stark say urgently, "Lynn, I need your help here. FUXX, Pepper has been kidnapped by that bastard Obadiah Stane."
"I've also been threatened by him, and he's taken the Arc Reactor. I hope you can help me rescue Pepper, please!"
Listening to Tony's anxious tone, Lynn nodded, "No problem!"
Hanging up the phone, Lynn returned to James Duke, said a word, and then left with Barbara, Laura, and Lorna.
Leaving the dinner, Lynn had Barbara activate her ability to send them to Stark Industries!
As the portal opened, the four of them arrived directly beneath Stark Industries.
At this moment, Tony Stark had not yet arrived, and Obadiah Stane was showing off in the Iron Mongerarmor.
Seeing this scene, Lynn turned to Polaris and asked, "Lorna, can you control him?"
Facing Lynn's question, Polaris nodded slightly.
Taking a step forward, Lorna extended her hand, and green energy was released from her palm. The next second, the Iron Monger flying in the air was instantly dragged to the ground by an invisible force!
Controlled by Polaris's ability, Obadiah Stane tried to control the armor no matter what, but the armor remained motionless on the ground.
Lynn Hall walked forward and had Lorna open the Iron Monger's faceplate, then asked Obadiah Stane, "Where is Pepper?"
Looking at Lynn, who had suddenly appeared, the struggling Obadiah Stane's eyes were filled with anger: "Damn it, what did you do to me?!"
Chapter 60: Lin En is ready to grab the head
Pepper was kidnapped by Obadiah Stane, and if one wanted to find out where she was held in the fastest way possible, the best method would undoubtedly be to directly interrogate Obadiah Stane, the mastermind.
With one foot on the Iron Monger armor, Lynn faced Obadiah Stane's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him whole.
Lynn no longer wasted words and instead said to Laura, who was standing by, "Laura, is there a way to make him tell us where Pepper is being held?"
"No problem, I'll weave a beautiful dream for him."
Laura nodded gently at Lynn, then quickly waved her fingertips, and Obadiah Stane's struggles gradually ceased.
His eyes, originally filled with anger and hatred towards Lynn, gradually softened, and his entire being became immersed in a wonderful illusion.
Within the constructed illusion, Obadiah Stane had killed Tony Stark and driven away all the old men on the board of Directors.
Finally, he successfully took over the entire Stark Industries.
"Lynn, he's already lost in a beautiful dream."
"Ask him where Pepper is being held!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Laura nodded, then squatted in front of Obadiah Stane and softly asked, "Chairman, where is Ms. Pepper being held, and what should we do with her?"
Facing Laura's inquiry, a hint of struggle gradually appeared on Obadiah Stane's excited expression.
However, it quickly returned to normal.
It was rush hour, but the surrounding traffic was blocked by the Iron Monger in the middle of the road.
Watching everything happening in the middle of the road, many people instinctively pulled out their phones to record.
When Tony Stark flew over in his armor, the curious onlookers gasped in surprise.
Ignoring the people taking photos, Tony Stark anxiously came to Lynn's side and said, "Lynn, Pepper…"
Lynn shushed Tony and looked at Laura.
Seeing Lynn's gesture, Tony Stark, though anxious, quieted down.
A few seconds later.
Listening to Obadiah Stane reveal an address, Lynn Halllooked at Tony Stark and said, "Pepper is being held here. Do you want to go or should I?"
Facing Lynn's question, Tony Stark was about to control his armor to take off.
Soon, he said to Lynn, "You're the professional when it comes to rescuing people, Lynn. I'll leave Pepper to you."
"I'll deal with Obadiah Stane!"
Looking at Tony Stark, who clearly wanted to go rescue her himself, but then suddenly changed his mind after his armor had already started to lift off.
Lynn nodded and said, "Alright!"
With that, Lynn directly had Barbara open a portal.
A few minutes later, in Washington, at Jessica's engagement dinner.
"Director, something's happened in New York."
The aide came to James Duke's side, handed James Dukehis phone, and said, "Tony Stark, wearing a mechanical prosthetic, is fighting Obadiah Stane."
"Oh?"
James Duke took the phone from the aide, glanced at it, then smiled and spoke to the people around him before getting up and leaving the dinner.
Back in his car, James Duke watched the two armors fighting, then pulled out his phone and called Alexander Pierce.
Once the call connected, James Duke chuckled and said, "Pierce, have you seen the battle happening in New York?"
On the other end of the phone.
Looking at the battle on his computer, which was being fully recorded by media on helicopters.
Alexander Pierce chuckled, "I'm watching it. This battle is truly spectacular, but the armor Tony Stark is wearing doesn't look like the mechanical prosthetic he claimed it was."
"This looks more like a highly threatening single-person weapon. If we could get our hands on this armor, then… hehe!"
Hearing Pierce say that, James Duke also nodded, "I have to admit, Tony Stark, like his old man Howard, is a true genius."
"It seems we need to pay more attention to him."
"What about Lynn Hall? Isn't he on very good terms with Tony Stark? James Duke, maybe we can through…"
"I don't think so!"
Before Pierce could finish, James Duke directly interrupted, "Pierce, putting aside whether Lynn can get his hands on the armor, compared to Tony Stark's armor, I think someone who can control the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation for us in the future is more important."
"Besides, even without Tony Stark's armor, it doesn't affect the implementation of your plan."
"But what if your plan fails? We still need to ensure power remains in our hands!"
Hearing James Duke say this, Alexander Pierce frowned: "You still don't favor Dr. Zola's proposal…"
"Heh, just a fool defeated by Captain America. I admit he's an excellent scientist, but…"
"Alright, James Duke, then let Stern's side convene the hearing. As for Lynn Hall, you need to speed up progress on your end too."
"Don't worry, the 'delicacy' is ready. After experiencing power and profit, he will make his choice!"
With that, James Duke hung up the phone.
Putting his phone away, James Duke continued to watch the battle between the Iron Man armor and the Iron Monger.
Staten Island, inside an abandoned industrial park.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang!"
After a series of gunshots, the kidnappers who had abducted Pepper were easily eliminated by Lynn.
Polaris, who had originally been by Lynn's side, ready to act, now looked at Lynn's swift and decisive movements with a hint of envy.
Watching Lynn untie Pepper from the chair, Polariswhispered to Laura, "Laura, if I had such skills, then back at the orphanage…"
"Then let Lynn teach you!"
Looking at Polaris, Laura smiled and said, "We're on his side now; he probably won't refuse."
Hearing Laura say this, Polaris thought for a moment, then nodded.
Removing the cloth stuffed in Pepper's mouth, Lynn Hallused a dagger to cut the ropes on Pepper's body: "Pepper, are you alright!"
"I'm fine, Lynn, please hurry and save Tony. Obadiah Stane used me to threaten Tony, he's going to…"
Seeing her first request after breaking free was for him to save Tony.
Lynn smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Tony will be fine for now. He asked me to come and save you!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Pepper finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good he's okay. Oh my goodness, I never thought Obadiah Stane would do something like this!"
"Is he crazy? Tony treated him like family, and even told me he decided to give him another chance!"
Hearing Pepper's words, Lynn prepared to take her back.
Tony Stark's Arc Reactor was taken by Obadiah Stane, and the Arc Reactor in his armor now was a replacement.
So, Lynn planned to seize this opportunity to steal a kill.
After all, a -7 favorability, it would be too much of a pity to miss it!
