Clow Card Magician in Marvel

Chapter 169 Heavy Snow and Frozen People

"call--"

In the gym of Stark Tower, Tony slowly stepped off the treadmill and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel on his shoulders.

"Jarvis."

"Yes, sir."

Tony picked up the ice water placed on the table, took a sip, and then continued to ask Jarvis.

"Where is the development progress of the armor now?"

"Regarding the research and development of the Mark 50 armor, we have just passed the research on nanoparticle technology and it is expected to be implemented on the armor in about half a year."

"The Veronica system was launched into satellite orbit yesterday and will be officially launched in a week."

"Is that so?" Tony walked to the balcony with the cup, and quietly looked through the window at New York, which was still brightly lit in the middle of the night.

I don't know since when, Tony's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.

I always feel that in the near future, this world will undergo changes that frighten Tony.

This sense of crisis prompted Tony to continue to develop a variety of armors, hoping that with the help of armors, he could bring himself some sense of security.

But in recent days, whether it is Apocalypse or Hela, Mephisto and Dormammu who came to the earth before.

Although Tony has never had a head-to-head confrontation with these people, he knows very well that if he only relies on himself, he may not be able to defeat them.

And Tony is the kind of person who is too proud. He is not used to placing his own safety on others.

Even Su Heng, who seemed to have a good relationship with him.

Tony felt that he might actually have some mental problems.

Even though he has been condemned countless times by everyone before, he has never stopped developing countermeasures against Yu Su Heng and everyone Tony knows, whether they are friends or enemies.

Part of the Veronica system that had just launched was the relevant countermeasures device.

"Sir, I need to remind you." Jarvis's voice rang in Tony's ears.

"You will need to fly to Canada early tomorrow morning with Ms. Pepper, Mr. Su Heng and Ms. Gwen."

"It's already two o'clock in the morning. You need to have a good rest so that you can be energetic tomorrow."

"Of course I know that." Tony raised his neck and drank the ice water in the glass in one gulp. After exhaling happily, he walked towards the private bedroom.

"Do you need to take a shower first?"

"certainly."

"The bathroom thermostat is on."

The next day, after a period of flight, Stark Industries' private plane arrived at Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, Canada.

"Hiss, it's so cold!" When Gwen got off the plane, a cold wave swept over her.

Even though she had put on a thick down jacket before arriving after checking the weather in Edmonton yesterday, the different temperature difference between the inside and outside of the plane still made Gwen shiver from the cold.

"Hahahaha." Just when Gwen was rubbing her hands in the cold, a bold voice came from the side.

"Ms. Pepper, Mr. Stark, welcome to Edmonton!"

A middle-aged man wearing a fur coat who looked very bloated came towards Pepper and Tony who were beside Gwen.

"Hello, Mr. Tourt." Pepper held the middle-aged man's hand, nodded slightly toward him, and said with a smile, "You look a bit burlier than you appear in the video."

"Hahaha, thank you, Ms. Pepper. You are much more beautiful than you appear in the video." The middle-aged man, Stewart, said the compliment with a smile.

"Now that we are here in Edmonton, after we finish talking about business, you must have a good time in Edmonton."

"Now is the period of heavy snowfall in winter. You can come to our Jasper National Park to experience the charm of sled dogs, and maybe even hunt a few prey with your own hands."

"That's really exciting." Pepper smiled.

"But for now, let's go back to the hotel and put our luggage away."

"Hahahaha, I took the liberty, I took the liberty." Stewart laughed and got out of the way.

"The car is ready and ready to go."

After everyone arrived at the hotel by car, Tony and Pepper did not stay too long, but took Gwen with them to the meeting location.

Only Su Heng, who was not very interested in the meeting, was left in the hotel.

"I didn't expect that guy Tony would be so serious sometimes?" Su Heng fell on the bed, thinking about Tony's serious look just now, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This was the first time Su Heng saw Tony caring so much about work matters.

"Well, before they come back, maybe I can buy some specialties in advance?" Su Heng sat up from the bed and scratched his head.

"By the way, what is a Canadian specialty?"

Being idle, Su Heng finally decided to go out and check the Internet for Canadian specialties and where they were sold in Edmonton.

Following the map's navigation, Su Heng came to a market.

Although the weather is cold, the market is still bustling with activity.

"Damn it, this winter is actually colder than usual!"

"Have you heard? There are many logging camps next to the forest. Because the weather is too cold, many people have suffered frostbite."

"More than that, I heard that with this terrible weather, the logging machines can't operate normally."

"No wonder I feel like the price of firewood has gone up so much lately."

Su Heng

"Maple syrup, ice wine." Su Heng was talking about Canadian specialties that he found on the Internet, listening to the complaints of the vendors in the market, and observing the strange things around him.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, among the crowd in the market, a thin and sturdy man attracted Su Heng's attention.

"Hello, is this maple syrup?" Su Heng squatted in front of the man's stall, rubbed his hands, and pointed to the maple leaf-shaped glass bottle in front of the man.

"Yeah." Logan nodded silently, glanced at Su Heng's Asian face, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Well, I heard that this thing seems to be suitable for making desserts." Su Heng picked up one of the small bottles and asked Logan.

"How much does this cost per bottle?"

"The bottle you have is 300 ml." Logan glanced at the small bottle in Su Heng's hand and whispered, "It's usually five dollars a bottle."

"Okay." Su Heng handed Logan a five-dollar bill, then opened the small bottle, dipped his fingers in the syrup at the mouth of the bottle, and then put his fingers into his mouth.

"Hmm" Su Heng pondered for a moment, then quietly put the maple syrup without covering the mouth of the bottle into his arms, letting Gan Pai, who was hiding in his arms, taste the maple syrup.

"Hey!"

Su Heng felt the cheers coming from Gampai and stood up amidst Logan's confused expression.

"Ahem, boss." Su Heng asked Logan, "How much maple syrup do you have here?"

"Probably?" Logan was stunned, glanced at the maple syrup on the stall, and said somewhat unconfidently: "Probably, about fifteen liters?"

"Is it just two hundred and fifty US dollars?" Su Heng calculated it, took out a paper and pen, and wrote down the address of the dessert shop: "Then if it is mailed to New York, will three hundred US dollars be enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough." Logan nodded repeatedly.

"That's good." Su Heng handed Logan the paper with the address of the dessert shop and a three-hundred-dollar bill.

"Then please help me mail it then."

"This" Luo Gen looked at the money handed over by Su Heng.

"Sir, do you just trust me like this?" Logan asked Su Heng suspiciously.

"Hmm." Su Heng shrugged: "After all, Mr. Stall Owner, you don't look like a bad person."

"That's true." Logan smiled helplessly and took the address and banknotes handed over by Su Heng.

"I will find a reliable postal company to send it to you."

"Well, if possible, can these fifteen liters of maple syrup be put in one container?" Su Heng pointed to the maple syrup in different bottles and cans on the stall and said to Logan.

"I run a dessert shop. So many bottles may be a little inconvenient for me."

"This" Logan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, yes, but maybe sir, you need to wait for me for a while. I do have barreled maple syrup at home, but it will take a while to go back and forth. .”

"It doesn't matter, I already gave you the address anyway." Su Heng shrugged: "Mr. stall owner, if you have time, just mail it to me."

"Okay." Logan nodded and began to pack the things on the stall.

"Then I'll go home now."

"Uh, are you in such a hurry?" Su Heng looked at Luo Gen's resolute appearance and said with some surprise.

"After all, I came to the market to sell maple syrup. Now that it's sold out, of course it's time to go home." Logan smiled at Su Heng.

"And my wife is still waiting for me at home."

"Okay then." Su Heng nodded and watched as Logan put all the packed things in the pickup truck behind him.

"Sir, if you estimate, I should help you mail out fifteen liters of maple syrup tomorrow." Logan sat on the pickup truck and said to Su Heng.

"Well, thank you very much." Su Heng waved his hand towards Logan and watched him drive away in the pickup truck.

"It's broken." Su Heng suddenly remembered it after he realized that Logan had driven away.

"I should ask the stall owner if he sells ice wine."

Logan was in a good mood and drove the pickup truck towards the outside of the city.

Due to the recent severe cold, the lumberyards have stopped working, which has made most lumberjacks, including Logan, somewhat financially disadvantaged.

During this period of time, Logan would go to the forest from time to time to hunt rabbits and come back to eat some meat.

It's not that Logan can't fight big beasts, but after fighting those beasts, Logan can't give Keira a reasonable explanation.

He couldn't possibly tell his wife directly that he had now become a werewolf with adamantium claws on his hands, right?

But this is not a good idea.

So, at a gathering of factory lumberjacks, Logan and several other lumberjacks decided to go to the nearest city to see if they could sell some of their home-made products.

But because Luo Gen looks scary and is not good at talking, he has been going back and forth for several days. If he hadn't met Su Heng today, he might have returned home empty-handed.

You know, a few days ago, in order to save gas money for the pickup truck, Logan ran back by himself.

I finally sold my things today, and Logan couldn't wait to go home and share the happy news with Kayla.

But just when Logan was about to arrive home, the sudden heavy snow directly covered the windshield of the pickup truck. Logan stepped on the brake, causing the pickup truck to stall instantly.

Logan looked at the thick layer of snow on the windshield and restarted the pickup truck, but he couldn't turn the key back on for a long time.

"Tsk, I was just saying that I was lucky today." Logan shook his head and looked at the growing snow around him through the car window. After just turning off the engine for a while, half of the snow had already covered The pickup trucks were all submerged.

Seeing this scene, Logan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

In previous years, there has never been such heavy snowfall.

Logan reluctantly pushed open the car door and climbed out of the car.

He looked at the vast expanse of white around him, closed the car door again, and started running step by step in the direction of his home.

When walking into the village, for some reason, the houses that were supposed to be heated by fires didn't smell of any burning fireworks today.

Especially the tavern, which was supposed to be the busiest, now looked silent.

boom! ! !

As Logan listened to the loud noises coming from the distance, his uneasiness became more and more serious.

He walked into the tavern with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow.

"!" But the scene that appeared in the tavern made Logan stay in place for a while.

In the tavern, people were still laughing and laughing.

But it's just an appearance.

A thick layer of ice has frozen on their bodies.

Logan, who had just walked into the tavern, looked at them as if he were looking at the lifelike murals under the Arctic ice wall.

"Wait." When Logan saw this scene, he suddenly remembered something, turned around suddenly and rushed out of the tavern.

"Kayla!!!"

As Logan staggered towards his home, the loud noises in his ears became increasingly distant.

But at this time, Logan had no time to think about what the loud noise was.

At this time, he just wanted to know what happened to his wife.

Logan walked into his house out of breath, looked at the same chimney with no smoke coming out, and opened the door with a sense of luck.

"No, Keira." Logan looked at Keira sitting on the sofa like an iceman in the room, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
