Marvel: The Twelve Spells.

Chapter 142 Mr. Luo

On the east side of Manhattan, New York, the United Nations Headquarters Building, the World Security Council.

"So far, the news release about the New York War has ended, and the following is the reporter's questioning session, one by one!"

As the spokesperson, Tony controlled the audience with a smile on his face. In the past, Stark Industries often held various press conferences, and he was very familiar with these processes.

"Mr. Stark, a new superhero appeared in the Battle of New York. Many citizens were saved by him, and they took a group photo together... The most important thing is that in the video you posted, he launched the military The nuclear bomb sent into the portal eliminated the nuclear bomb crisis in New York."

Unsurprisingly, the first reporter focused on Luo Xia who was born out of nowhere.

"Moreover, through the videos taken by citizens, we can see that this superhero is very powerful, even not inferior to Dr. Bruce Banner. In the end, his identity was determined to be an ordinary graduate of the Midtown Institute of Technology, which caused a lot of trouble. Got a lot of attention, can the Anti-Evil League reveal something about him? What's his name? How did he become a superhero?"

"Well...Actually, I have already prepared for this issue, but I'm sorry that we don't know much about him." Tony paused and said, "I invited him to attend today's press conference yesterday, Looking at the situation now, he doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of occasion..."

The reporters and staff off the field burst into laughter, and Tony continued to talk about the prepared manuscript.

"He is not only powerful, but also very special. He doesn't wear a uniform or a mask, and he doesn't have nicknames like Iron Man and Spider-Woman. We all call him Mr. Lowe, which is a respectful title." Tony continued, " As for Mr. Luo's special experience, we don't know, his resume looks ordinary."

"Now Mr. Luo is a powerful and elegant mage. As shown in those group photos and videos, he can easily defeat the enemy in battle, so what he thinks most is how not to dirty himself. Clothes, or use those cool-looking moves..."

Tony stretched out his hand to press, and the laughter in the arena slowly stopped.

"Although we know very little about Mr. Luo, we can be sure of one thing, he is on the side of justice!"

"Mr. Luo originally enjoyed a peaceful life, but when he saw the Chitauri invade the earth, he did not hesitate to contribute his strength. He was the main force in this war, and in the end it was Mr. Luo who found the way to close the gate of space." method, and then take the risk to deliver the nuclear bomb..."

I don't know who applauded first, and then thunderous applause swept the venue. Tony could only wait for the applause to subside.

"So I suggest everyone not to disturb Mr. Luo's quiet life!" Tony changed the subject, "This is not a suggestion, but a warning. Although Mr. Luo firmly believes in justice, he has a bad temper... If he is dating a girlfriend, But you secretly hid in the green belt to film their kissing scene, then someone will be miserable!"

When the venue became quiet again, Tony drew the next reporter.

"I asked the lady to ask a question... I remember you, at the press conference where I announced that I was Iron Man!"

"Because I wore the same clothes as that day, Mr. Stark!" The female reporter took the microphone and said, "Has Mr. Luo joined the Anti-Evil League?"

"Unfortunately, not yet." Tony said, "But we are also working hard to achieve this goal, and we are very confident, because the Anti-Demon Alliance already has some advantages..."

"Taking this opportunity, I also want to announce a piece of information. After the war, Dr. Banner and Spider-Woman both decided to join the Anti-Demon Alliance..."

……

In the lounge, Captain America and Agent Coulson sat opposite each other, and Tony on the screen beside him was talking eloquently, and he could answer every question perfectly.

"Are those details really suitable for the media?" Coulson asked with some doubts.

"I thought it was allowed by S.H.I.E.L.D...." Captain America shook his head and said, "But this is also in line with Tony's character, he has always been a maverick."

"No, no, Captain, you guys are all very classy!" Coulson said with a smile, "I've learned my lesson, this time I didn't prepare a speech for Mr. Stark, because that would just be a waste of my time. "

"I'm sorry about what happened last time, Agent Phil..."

"You don't need to apologize to the captain. For the sake of signing my collection card, if you serve as the official spokesperson next time, I will continue to write speeches for you." Coulson said with a smile.

"Maybe there won't be that chance..." Captain America said with a smile.

"Captain, have you decided?" Coulson was a little surprised, "It was just a mistake..."

"Don't persuade me anymore, Agent Phil." Captain America interrupted, he lowered his head and suddenly became a little depressed, those indelible images reappeared, Captain America rubbed his temples vigorously with both hands.

Coulson was a little overwhelmed, he slowly got up and left the lounge.Maybe it would be better for the US team to be alone at this time.

Ten minutes later, the door of the lounge was pushed open again.

"The press conference is successfully concluded, now I finally have time to eat that barbecue!" Tony walked in, looked at the back of the US team and said, "And that kid actually let me go!"

Captain America stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. He looked down at the sculptures and statues presented by various countries in the garden. His eyes fell on the famous sculpture "Forging a Sword into a Plow".

"Mr. Luo didn't promise to attend this press conference either."

"So let me deal with those reporters alone!" Tony complained, and he also walked to the French window to stand shoulder to shoulder with Captain America.

"Sol is going back to Asgard. Barton is an agent. Spider-Woman's identity is kept secret. Dr. Banner is destined to stay away from the crowd. From now on, this kind of work can only be done by you, Tony."

"What about you?" Tony felt something was wrong, "Captain America, you were the one who announced the establishment of the Anti-Evil Alliance."

"They called me Captain Devil..." Captain America smiled and shook his head, "I am not suitable to appear in the public eye again, and now every action of the Anti-Demon League will attract the attention of the media and the public, so I have decided to , I will withdraw from the anti-demon alliance."

"Because of that defeat?" Tony couldn't believe it, "You created this alliance by yourself, against demons and protecting the earth!"

"Seventeen innocent people, I have never really looked directly at the mistakes I made..."

"That's the devil controlling you!" Tony said loudly.

"I killed them with my own hands, and now I have a clear memory." Captain America closed his eyes and said, "There was no fear on the faces of those police officers before they died, only surprise, and the civilians were still shouting my name after they fell to the ground. ..."

Tony was silent. He didn't have this kind of experience, but he could feel the sense of despair and regret.

"I have decided to withdraw from the Anti-Demon Alliance and become a wanderer... like Spider-Woman, eliminate evil on the streets and help civilians. Maybe that will become the meaning of my existence. After finding Natasha, the first stop I want to go to Berlin." The US team turned to look at Tony and said, "Of course this is not a retreat, Steve Rogers will not become a deserter, if there is another war like alien invasion, or this alliance is in crisis, I will back."

"What are you kidding, you are the leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance!" Tony's expression was very exciting, "I am very busy, in addition to managing Stark Industries, I also need to conduct scientific research, upgrade steel armor, and manufacture spaceships and interstellar weapons , you don’t want to leave the alliance to me!”

"I believe that you will become an excellent leader. Regardless of your personality flaws, you are still excellent. And the Anti-Demon Alliance doesn't have much business. Most of the current work is related to Mr. Luo and looking for Natasha. "Captain America patted Tony on the shoulder, "There are no more demons on Earth, maybe this alliance should change its name, the Avengers are pretty good."

"Who knows, if the devil comes back one day, maybe..." Tony muttered.

"Then I will come back too!" Captain America raised his fist, "We will settle the old and new grudges together."

After the US team finished speaking, they turned and left, leaving only Tony standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in thought.

"Don't forget the kebab parties!"

……

At night, the dining table of the Stacey family was extremely quiet, no one spoke, and the sound of the silver table knife cutting the porcelain plate could be clearly heard.

Mrs. Stacey deliberately turned off the TV, and her younger brothers Howard and Angus had no objections either. Their eyes were shining as they stared at their sister Gwen.George was eating dinner seriously, but it was not difficult to see from his deep eyes that he was thinking about something.

Gwen was so absorbed in cutting the broccoli that she almost buried her head in the plate.But what should come will always come. No parent can remain calm after knowing that their daughter has dated a superhero... Gwen is already thinking about what will happen when Spider-Woman's identity is revealed.

"Gwen, shouldn't you explain to us?" said Mrs. Stacey first, "about 'Mr. Lowe'."

"So everything said on the Internet is true?" Howard said excitedly, "Your boyfriend is the superhero Mr. Luo?"

"He can do magic, right?" Angus also said, "Like Harry Potter!"

"He can fly and manipulate objects. I've seen the video!" Howard yelled, "Mr. Luo is more powerful than Captain America and Iron Man..."

"Quiet Howard." Mrs. Stacey looked at Gwen again.

"Actually, I didn't know it at first. When I met Luo Xia, he looked like an ordinary person, and we got along in an ordinary way... until one day, I discovered his superpower, and it was not long before Before." Gwen explained.

"Yesterday we were shopping, and suddenly the Chitauri began to invade the earth. Those aliens were vicious and cruel, causing destruction and massacres along the way. We saw many citizens die because of this, so Luo Xia decided to use his power to protect those ordinary citizens……"

"It sounds like your style." George chewed on the steak, and he couldn't help interjecting, "Lorshaw chooses to hide his power, so he won't use it easily."

"Well, it's indeed my style. I've been persuading him to do this, and let him protect everyone from hiding his strength..." Gwen covered her face with her hands, "Sure enough, it caused a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Stacey also looked at Gwen worriedly: "Gwen..."

"In this era, people with superpowers are very lucky, but often people around them will suffer misfortune." George put down his knife and fork and said pointedly, and he looked at Gwen.

Of course, Gwen could understand what her father George meant. These issues were originally her worries. She was afraid that after the identity of Spider-Woman was exposed, those criminals would retaliate against her family.

But now this kind of risk is much smaller. After those malicious people know the identity of Spider-Woman, they will also know that Mr. Luo, who repelled the alien army, is Spider-Woman's boyfriend, so their worries will be greater. a lot of.

Except, of course, those lunatics and desperadoes.

Even Gwen has always suspected that the purpose of Luoxia's exposure of her super power is to protect her... Apart from that, Luoxia has no reason.

This made Gwen cry. Although Luoxia said that she did not support her to be a real superhero, but after Gwen joined the Anti-Demon League, Luoxia tried her best to provide her with shelter...

"Don't worry, Mom, Luo Xia will protect me." Gwen held Mrs. Stacey's hand and said, "He is strong enough. Didn't you see the media say that Dr. Banner is not as strong as him."

"He is very strong, but you are very fragile. It is impossible for Luo Xia to be with you 24 hours a day." Mrs. Stacey shook her head and said.

Gwen thought in her heart, she is not an ordinary little girl, she is the real superhero... And she is the kind who will offend many evil forces and criminals, she should be the one who brings trouble and danger to Luoxia.

"Uh...it may not be impossible, but couples also need private space, and I plan to move out after I go to college..." Gwen observed the expressions of her parents and said, "Luo Xia doesn't have that much sense of justice, he Not interested in fighting criminals and doing justice, that's not his job, so he won't make enemies, the danger is very small."

"Use your super powers carefully. This is the correct value. It is much better than Spider-Woman!" George nodded. "But even if you don't participate in the struggle, having superpowers attracts hatred."

Gwen could only be silent. Although she was very upset about George's evaluation of Spider-Woman, she couldn't refute it now.

"Gwen, it's been a long time since Lorshaw came to eat at home," Mrs. Stacey said.

"Long time? A week?" Fortunately, Gwen had already thought of an excuse, "He is busy with his studies, and he may not have time these few days..."

"Like avoiding us..." Mrs. Stacey said. "Superheroes need to go to college? I thought he'd wait until he graduated from high school to join the Anti-Evil League and save world peace and save the planet or something."

"The earth is safe now, Mom! He has no intention of joining that organization for the time being."

"Which university will Luoxia apply to?"

"Empire State University, the same school as me."

"Empire State University? This school is very difficult to apply for. I remember his grades seem to be..."

"Mr. Tony Stark will write him a letter of recommendation..."

Gwen and his mother were chatting, and suddenly George asked: "Gwen, do you still remember the two genetic mutations that appeared in your school? A rhinoceros and a wolf. I remember you and Luo Xia were at school that day. "

"That incident had nothing to do with Luo Xia. We were watching a baseball game at the time." Gwen explained: "The New York War was the first time he used superpowers in public. He had been very cautious before..."

Gwen naturally knew what his father, Chief George, wanted to ask. The deaths of the rhinoceros and the jackal are still unsolved cases, and the police have not yet found the real murderer.
