American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Seeing Miller Field's somewhat embarrassed expression, Lynn Hall said, "Whether it's your wife's or the female college student's, it doesn't matter."

"Be careful at this time, and don't do anything to offend the bureau chief."

Miller Field nodded repeatedly upon hearing Lynn's words.

While wiping away the lipstick stains, she asked, "So, what big thing happened that brought us all together in the middle of the night?"

"Something really serious has happened!"

As Lynn walked toward the director's office, he recounted the events to Miller.

Behind them, another assistant chief of staff, Alan Maxey, looked extremely gloomy.

As the assistant head of the Secret Service, Alan Maxie naturally knew that Richie Hood would be sidelined next year, and the new head of the Secret Service would be chosen from among the four of them.

Before the family-affiliated councilors behind him could exert their influence, the Ministry of the Interior surprisingly obtained "evidence" of his crimes first.

When Allen saw the evidence, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Normally, these so-called "evidence" wouldn't be of much concern.

But it just so happens to happen at this exact time.

Later, after Chief Duke called him in and gave him a good scolding, the matter was quickly dropped.

But Allen knew that he was out of the running for the managerial position!

Allen glanced at Lynn Hall, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

It couldn't be him. After all, although Lynn was the most capable among them, he was too young.

Moreover, the only powerful figure behind him was his adoptive father, the NYPD chief, but within the FBI, George Stacy had less influence than his family members who were members of Congress.

Miller Fields couldn't be either; he was a nobody.

So, who has the best chance of becoming a manager next year?

With that thought in mind, Alan Maxie's gaze became fixed on Kenny Davis.

Several of his family members are members of Congress, but Kenny's uncle is the Deputy Attorney General.

Therefore, after I was eliminated, the only person who could become the supervisor was him!

FUXX! That bastard's adopted son!

Feeling the sharp gaze behind him, Kenny Davis turned around and glanced at him.

Kenny Davis didn't take Allen's look seriously.

It's just the gaze of a loser. Who knows how this guy will fawn over me in the future!

Yes, Kenny and Alan Maxey thought the same thing: the only one qualified to compete with him was Alan.

As for Lynn and Miller?

He valued Lynn and was prepared to take action against her.

However, this only eliminates Lynn's last remaining possibility.

He knew Lynn's abilities, so he planned to slowly train Lynn after becoming the supervisor, turning Lynn into his lackey!

Watching the two men stare at each other, Miller Field sneered inwardly.

Those two idiots have no idea how much the chief and supervisor value Lynn!

Indeed, if his application for that small town project hadn't been rejected last time, he probably wouldn't have known just how much Lynn meant to the director.

Inside the director's office.

When Richie brought Lynn and the others to Duke's office, all the heads of various departments were already there.

Once everyone had arrived, James Duke angrily said, "You should all know what has happened."

"Damn it, those insane mutants attacked the Pentagon and the presidential palace."

"This is a provocation, a blatant provocation by mutants against our FBI."

"Our duty at the FBI is to protect national security, and we absolutely cannot let these mutants who threaten national security get away with it!"

At this point, James Duke looked at everyone and said, "From now on, the FBI in New York is in a state of emergency. All departments are to be mobilized."

"If any mutants enter New York, we'd rather arrest the innocent than let one go!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Upon hearing Duke's command, everyone immediately stood up.

"In addition, the field operations department dispatched an elite team to Washington, led by an assistant supervisor."

Assist headquarters in capturing those damn mutants!

Upon hearing Director Duke's words, Richie Hood looked at the four assistant agents behind him.

Upon receiving Richie's gaze, before Lynn could speak, Kenny Davis spoke first: "Chief, I request to personally lead this mission."

This was a chance to shine in front of the team, so Kenny Davis was naturally the first to step forward and apply.

Seeing this, Alan Maxey also stepped forward to apply.

Although I'm out of the competition for supervisor next year, if I can make a significant contribution in this operation...

Perhaps I will have the opportunity to rejoin this battle.

Seeing that Allen and Kenny had volunteered, Duke nodded, then looked at Lynn Hall.

"Chief, I recommend that Miller lead the team for this mission."

Seeing Duke's gaze, Lynn said, "This time, the mutants have caused such a big commotion in Washington, the headquarters will definitely send out all its elite forces to capture them."

"At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on Washington, and no one can be sure whether New York will become the mutants' next target."

"So New York is just as important as Washington."

"Miller is a very capable leader, and his personality is stable enough that he's not greedy for quick success or reckless, so I think he's the best candidate to lead this mission!"

Upon hearing that Lynn had actually recommended Miller to "show his face," Kenny and Allen both looked at him at the same time.

Instead of volunteering for such a high-profile task, he recommends others.

Does he no longer want to compete for the supervisor position?

Upon hearing Lynn's recommendation, Duke pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Rich, arrange for Miller to lead a team to Washington immediately!"

"Yes, Chief!"

"Alright, everyone get ready. I want you to monitor every corner of New York!"

"Also, Lynn, stay!"

Upon hearing Duke's order, everyone went to prepare, except for Lynn, who remained seated.

After everyone had left, Duke took a cigar from his drawer and tossed it to Lynn: "I thought you would volunteer to go to Washington."

"After all, getting exposure to the president and the attorney general will have its advantages in the future!"

Lynn Hall took the cigar and stood up to pour Duke a glass of water. He smiled and said, "Director, I'm more worried about your safety than things in Washington."

"So it's better for me to stay in New York. In case the mutants go crazy and actually attack the FBI in New York, I can protect you, right?"

"You!"

James Duke raised his hand and pointed at Lynn in the air, then chuckled and lit a cigar.

Why didn't Lynn volunteer to lead the team to Washington?

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Lynn knew that even if he led the team there himself, it would just be a formality.

Is he really hoping to make a name for himself in Washington and then gain the appreciation of the head of headquarters?

Stop talking nonsense.

It would be more effective to stay in New York, flatter Duke, and play the role of a loyal lackey.

Taking a puff of his cigar, Duke looked at Lynn with satisfaction and asked, "Did you buy the stock of that company they recommended you buy at the last fraternity gathering?"

"I've already bought it, Chief. The price of that stock is practically skyrocketing."

After hearing this inside information at the party, Lynn instructed the stockbroker Daniel to sell his Stark Industries stock and then buy all the shares they recommended.

The Stark Industries stock he bought for $500,000 increased more than tenfold. He sold it and cashed out over $6 million, then used all of it to buy stock in this new company.

In just a few days, the stock price of this newly listed company soared.

Even if Daniel were to sell it now, his assets would still exceed thirty million US dollars.

Damn, he hasn't even joined Hydra yet.

Hearing Lynn's answer, Duke chuckled and nodded: "That's the advantage of being a fraternity member. Only by sticking together and helping each other can we go further."

"I have to thank you for your guidance, Director. Without you, I probably wouldn't be qualified to join the Brotherhood."

"Hehe, we will not mistreat our own people."

"By the way, Chief, I ran into Mystique from the Brotherhood of Mutants tonight."

After recounting the events to Duke, Lynn said, "So I had the X-Men take Mystique back."

"What mutants do in Washington may very well be repeated in New York."

After hearing Lynn's account of what had happened, James Duke nodded.

Lynn is right. If mutants can do such heinous things in Washington, then New York may become their next target.

At that time, City Hall and the FBI building might become targets for mutants.

Lynn's decision to stay in New York at this time to protect herself was definitely not an empty promise!

Thinking of this, Duke looked at Lynn with even greater satisfaction!

He is capable, courageous, resourceful, and extremely loyal to me.

What a perfect subordinate!

Thinking of this, Duke suddenly said, "Lynn, come with me to Los Angeles at the end of the month!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Lynn Hall nodded upon hearing what the director said.

Although he didn't know why Duke suddenly wanted to take him to Los Angeles.

But Lynn Hall felt that perhaps this trip to Los Angeles was the time for Duke to reveal to him that he was Hydra!

I returned to my office.

Lynn Hall looked at Miller Field, who was standing at the door of his office, and said, "Why don't you go in? The head of the Internal Affairs Department is in your office."

In response to Lynn's question, Miller Field shrugged: "I don't know if it's Allen or Kenny who reported you to the Department of Internal Affairs, but she didn't look too good to me. You'd better watch out."

At this point, Miller looked at Lynn very seriously and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

Lynn raised his hand and patted Miller on the shoulder, saying, "I won't let my people suffer losses." He nodded to Lynn and then turned to leave.

He was about to lead a team to Washington, and there were many things to prepare.

Even so, he still made a point of waiting for Lynn to return so he could thank her.

This already indicates that he is expressing his attitude to Lynn.

Back in the office, I saw Jessica sitting with her legs crossed above her desk.

After closing the office door, Lynn walked over, picked her up, and placed her on the desk.

"Why come here if you can't even prepare anything?"

As she spoke, Lynn lifted Jessica's hand, which was adorned with the engagement ring, and, looking at her fair and delicate skin, placed the hand where it should have been.

"Of course, it's to remind you to be careful lately."

With one hand, she pulled open the brown lock that symbolized Lynn's fate, her delicate white hand grasping the spear of destiny.

"What you're saying is that someone is trying to get back at me?"

Lynn gave Jessica's shapely buttocks a playful slap and said, "Last time it was Kenny Davis, who is it this time?"

"I've always been a kind person, so why does it sound like I've offended the whole world coming from your mouth?"

In response to Lynn's "beating," Jessica grumbled twice: "Isn't this all because of your little lover?"

Turning around and slumping onto the table, Jessica said, "You think the military won't find out that your green-haired lover is Magneto's daughter?"

"The last time we dealt with Obadiah Stan, your little lover was already taken care of by the military."

"Colonel Stryker, who is in charge of dealing with mutants, didn't dare to ask you for people, so he went to his superior."

"Given the fact that mutants attacked the White House and the Pentagon this time, the military will probably be coming after us soon."

Hearing his senior say that, Lynn Hall leaned closer and said, "Then let them come. Maybe I can even send a general to prison!"

Sensing Lynn's unyielding resolve, Jessica's pale green pupils gradually narrowed, and she said haltingly, "This is what my fiancé heard, so I informed you as soon as I found out."

Jessica couldn't continue her sentence halfway through.

Listening to her senior sometimes calling out to God and sometimes fuming about her lack of vocabulary, Lynn leaned forward and felt she should teach her more beautiful words.

How can someone like Hao Sui, a Yale graduate, have such a limited vocabulary?

As the two were busy looking at the screen, Jessica's phone suddenly rang.

Jessica glanced at her phone and then made a shushing gesture at Lynn: "It's my fiancé on the phone."

With that, the senior student took a deep breath and then answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Henry Wayne felt a pang of heartache as he listened to his fiancée's calm yet slightly trembling voice.

This is definitely because his fiancée stayed up all night attending a meeting, and her body couldn't take it anymore!

Wow, being an FBI agent must be so busy!

The next morning.

Jonathan Polly gradually woke up from his sleep after a hangover.

Instinctively shielding his face from the sunlight, Jonathan looked around and realized that he was lying in an unfamiliar room.

Jonathan abruptly threw off the covers and sat up in bed, only to find that he was wearing nothing but shorts.

And the headache from the hangover made Jonathan feel dizzy.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to recall what had happened last night.

It seems like... I was drinking in a bar when a woman with a great figure, who looked a lot like my first love, hit on me...

"You're awake!"

As the door opened, a woman wearing a tank top walked in.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the woman in front of him who looked very familiar, Jonathan Polly recalled that she was the one who had picked him up at the bar last night.

"Jonathan, it seems you really have forgotten about me!"

Claire picked up the pants from the stall and handed them to Jonathan, laughing, "That's right, you were quite the celebrity at school back then, everyone fawned over you, how could you possibly remember me?"

Upon hearing Claire's words, Jonathan instinctively took the pants and put them on.

Just as I was about to say something more, I heard Claire laugh and say, "Go wash up first, I've already made breakfast."

After saying that, Claire turned and left the room.

A dozen minutes later, inside the restaurant.

"Claire, you mean you're also from Dalton School?"

While eating breakfast, Jonathan looked at Claire. He really didn't remember having such a classmate. "Yeah, but we're not in the same grade. I'm a year younger than you."

Claire handed the bread to Jonathan, a very comforting smile spreading across her face: "Back then, you were a star at school. Wherever you went, there would be a crowd surrounding you."

"Back then, I had a crush on you, but unfortunately, you never noticed me."

Faced with Claire's honesty, Jonathan remained silent for a moment: "Sorry, I really don't remember."

"It's alright, it happened more than ten years ago."

"I went to Europe for college and just got back to New York recently. I never expected to see you in a bar last night."

Hearing Claire say that, Jonathan silently ate his breakfast.

However, he quickly laughed self-deprecatingly, "You're disappointed, aren't you? I never imagined that more than ten years later, I would go from being a rich second-generation to a homeless person."

"Ha, if you hadn't brought me back last night, I'd probably still be sleeping on a park bench!"

Seeing Jonathan's self-deprecating humor, Claire reached out and shook his hand, her face beaming with a sunny smile: "I was indeed a little surprised, but I wouldn't say disappointed."

"Life is full of ups and downs. I believe that as long as you get through this tough time, you will get back on your feet."

"And if you have nowhere to live, you can stay with me. Don't worry too much if you don't have a job, I have some savings that can help you until you find one."

7

At this point, Claire winked playfully: "I'm sorry to say this, but I've wanted to sleep with you for over a decade."

Look at Claire's angelic and healing smile.

For a moment, Jonathan was stunned.

This was a smile he had never seen before, and it seemed that in this smile, his heart, which had sunk to the bottom, was beginning to beat again.

"Alright, let's hurry up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, let's go to the barbershop to get it done. The Jonathan I remember would never invite me like this!"

Hearing Claire say that, Jonathan nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing Jonathan lower his head, Claire smiled and turned on the TV.

At this moment, all television channels are reporting on the mutant attacks on the White House and the Pentagon last night.

Although the president and officials were unharmed, the entire city of Washington was placed under a state of emergency due to last night's terrorist attack.

At the same time, at the entrance of Zhongcheng High School.

"Don't appear as Spider Woman for the time being."

Lynn gently rubbed Gwen's head as she whined and said with a smile, "The mutant incident last night put Washington under complete lockdown, and New York is also under partial lockdown."

"Right now, not only the FBI, but all official organizations are hunting down dangerous individuals."

"This includes mutants, gangsters, and superpowered individuals, so it's best if Spider-Woman doesn't show up during this time to avoid causing you unnecessary trouble!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Gwen nodded slightly: "Dad also said that I should drive home immediately after school."

"If my dad hadn't given me that car as a birthday gift, he would have to drive me to school every day."

Gwen rested her head on Lynn's shoulder and kept snuggling.

Just before class was about to start, Gwen looked up at Lynn and said, "Um... I'm going to university next year, have you tidied up my room yet?"

"It's all packed up, just waiting for you to move in next year. Go to class, you'll be late!"

Lynn gently patted Gwen's little bottom and said with a smile.

Gwen kicked Lynn on the lips and ran toward the school while waving goodbye.

As Gwen ran toward the school, Lynn watched her retreating figure for a while before taking out his phone and sending a text message.

inside the car.

"Is this Lynn's girlfriend? She's very pretty!"

Laura, who had witnessed everything that happened outside, looked at Gwen's retreating figure and then spoke to Polaris beside her.

Upon hearing Laura's words, Polaris nodded slightly.

However, his face was full of melancholy, as if he was worried about something.

"Don't worry, even though the mutants made such a big fuss last night, we are now FBI agents, and with Lynn here, no one can hurt us."

1

Knowing what Lorna was worried about, Laura comforted her by linking her arm with Polaris's.

"The media says that all the mutants who attacked the president were members of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and I'm worried."

"Oh dear, you're too extreme; you always tend to think the worst of things!"

Laura pinched Polaris's cheek and said, "Even if they're all your father's men, what does it have to do with you?"

"If this really involves you, do you think Lynn will still follow us wherever she goes as before?"

"I hope so."

Looking at Lynn outside the car window, Polaris said softly.

A few minutes later.

When Peter Parker ran out of the classroom, the first thing he saw was Lynn standing in front of the Chevrolet.

"Holman...Lynn, is there something you need from me?"

Approaching Lynn, Peter Parker asked somewhat reservedly.

He had no idea why Lynn, an FBI agent, would suddenly contact him.

Surely he won't be exposed because of his Spider-Man identity.

"Peter, you've been doing quite well lately, haven't you? You've even gained a lot of fans online."

Hearing Lynn say this, Peter Parker was startled, but he shook his head calmly and said:

Lynn, I don't understand what you're talking about.

Looking at Peter Parker, who was pretending to be stupid, Lynn laughed and said, "Didn't you consult me ​​about the organization during the battle between Tony and Obadiah?"

D3

"But that wasn't the right time to talk about this. I told you I would contact you later."

"Now you know what I'm talking about, Spider-Man!"

Peter Parker froze on the spot when he saw Lynn's gentle smile.

Back in the classroom.

"What's wrong?"

Peter Parker looked at him, somewhat lost in thought, after returning to the classroom.

Harry Osborn asked curiously, "What does Lynn want with you?"

"Oh? It's nothing, it's nothing."

Seeing his friend's curious expression, Peter Parker quickly shook his head and said, "The teacher is here!"

Harry, who had originally wanted to ask Peter some questions, shut his mouth when he saw the teacher walk into the classroom.

However, I was still a little curious about what my idol wanted to talk to Peter about.

Why has Peter been so distracted since he came back?

Could it be that Lynn wants Peter to join the FBI?

Peter Parker had no idea how envious Harry was of him at that moment.

He kept replaying in his mind the words Lynn had said to him after exposing his identity.

He told himself not to appear in New York as Spider-Man for the time being.

And after the matter is over, they will try to recruit you into that organization.

Damn it, how did Lynn find out he was Spider-Man?

He hid it very well.

Although he said that no one else knew he was Spider-Man.

But... what if other people find out?

Thinking about this, Peter Parker became troubled. It seemed that after joining the organization founded by Lynn, he would have to ask him to help him hide his identity.

Peter Parker had absolutely no objection to joining the organization founded by Lynn.

After all, the saying "With great power comes great responsibility" made Peter Parker think that having such an organization was incredibly cool.

At the same time, on a farm in New Jersey.

"Boss, all the Brotherhood of Mutants who infiltrated the White House and the Pentagon are dead."

Looking at Magneto in front of him, Smith reported, "In addition, some of the brothers who invaded Xavier's College were killed or injured, and Raven was even imprisoned by Professor X."

"Chief, I don't understand why you issued this order?"

"Although you were imprisoned in a special prison at the time, we could have easily rescued you; there was no need to make such a fuss!"

Magneto did not answer Smith's question.

He glanced at the cornfield in front of him and asked, "How's that girl I asked you to keep an eye on?"

"She had just started college, and because she had been hiding her abilities, no one knew she was a mutant since her parents died."

Upon hearing Smith's answer, Magneto nodded in satisfaction: "She is our hope for the future."

Smith, don't worry about your dead brother.

"When hope truly arrives, those who gave their lives for their ideals will eventually return to us!"

Smith frowned as he listened to Magneto's rambling.

Even now, Raven doesn't know what Magneto's true purpose is.

The reason they made such a commotion last night was entirely because it was Magneto's order.

However, what he is most worried about now is what to do next.

After all, assassinating the president and infiltrating the Pentagon would definitely warrant a manhunt from all official organizations!

New York street scene.

The black Chevrolet was stopped in the middle of the road, with a row of military vehicles blocking its way.

Stryker, who was in the lead, got out of the military vehicle, and behind him, a group of fully armed soldiers were on guard with their weapons.

"Don't be nervous, you can stay in the car!"

Looking at Polaris in the back seat, who seemed somewhat worried because of the military's sudden appearance.

After offering her a word of comfort, Lynn opened the car door and got out.

"Lynn Hall, this is our second time meeting!"

Seeing Lynn Hall get out of the car, Colonel Stryker stepped forward and spoke.

"Ha, such a large-scale operation, quite intimidating. What, is the military finally preparing to take action against our FBI?"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Stryker said, "Lynn Hall, you should know what my purpose is this time!"

Stryker produced a document and showed it to Lynn, his tone forceful: "As an FBI agent, you should know what happened last night!"

"The president was attacked, Pentagon officials were assassinated, and even Magneto was rescued from prison by those damn mutants."

"According to our investigation, Lorna Dane in your car is Magneto's daughter and a mutant, so I have reason to believe she was involved in this."

"I hope you can hand her over to me, otherwise..."

"Or what? Order my arrest? Or shoot me riddled with bullets?"

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, then used a lighter to light the document as well.

Upon seeing this, Stryker's expression immediately turned cold.

Before he could even speak, Lynn threw the burning document onto the ground.

He then stepped forward and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing happening to someone's daughter."

"Stryker, you've really opened my eyes!"

"Besides, this document is worthless when it comes to handing over people. Even if you produce a document signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I still won't care!"

"Lynn."

Seeing Lynn Hall's firm stance, Stryker frowned and said, "This concerns the country..."

"Don't fucking pretend to be some patriot in front of me. Either you get the Minister of Justice to personally order me to hand him over, or you have your men riddle me with bullets!"

"Do you dare?"

Lynn Hall raised his finger and poked Stryker in the chest, then sneered, "You don't dare, but I do!"

"From this moment forward, the FBI will be watching you and your entire family 24/7."

"Even when you go to the toilet, I won't let you off the hook. If you make the slightest move with these people, I'll arrest you for treason!"

"Lynn Hall!"

Stryker clenched his fists when Lynn Hall's attitude was equally tough.

"Heh, you want to order the shooting? Come on, if I even flinch, I'm a coward!"

"you."

Staring angrily at Lynn Hall, Stryker hadn't expected the guy to be so tough.

You should know that they even obtained the documents from the Ministry of Defense, but...

FUXX, damn the FBI, damn the system!

"Heh, you wouldn't dare?"

Pushing Stryker aside, Lynn Hall said bluntly, "If you're too scared, then have all your men get the hell out of my way!"

"A bunch of cowards!"

As Lynn Hall turned around, got back into his car, and started the engine, Stryker clenched his fist and stared at the Chevrolet.

Hearing the arrogant honking, Stryker took a deep breath and then ordered the military to clear the road!

inside the car.

Lynn Hall chuckled as he looked at Stryker's impotent rage in the rearview mirror.

Then, turning to Laura and Lorna in the back row, he asked, "Did I scare you two?"

"Of course not."

Hearing Lynn's question, Laura excitedly leaned closer: "Lynn, the way you made Stryker not dare to speak was so cool!"

"This is the first time I've realized that the FBI has such great power that they don't even care about the Department of Defense's approval."

Seeing Laura chattering excitedly, Polaris pulled her back and fastened the seatbelt around her.

However, when he looked at Lynn, a different emotion appeared in his eyes for the first time.

He lost his parents at a young age and was "abandoned" by his biological father during his childhood. He faced discrimination in the orphanage because of his mutant identity and spent more than two years hiding after leaving the orphanage.

This was the first time she had ever felt safe with someone else.

Despite this, Polaris's face remained tense.

But his gaze kept drifting towards Lynn.

Lorna Dayne's favorability rating: 5

Noticing the system notification, Lynn continued driving in a good mood.

Laura's favorability remained unchanged at 4 points, but Polaris's favorability increased by 2 points.

Although she still looks cold, her popularity doesn't lie.

Perhaps it won't be long before the North Star opens its heart to you!

Back at the FBI, Lynn Hall recounted the incident to Director Duke.

Although the FBI is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, we can ignore those idiots at the Department of Defense.

But, if someone has a problem, shouldn't their boss take the blame?

Duke didn't seem to care at all about Lynn's report.

Even if mutants have committed such horrific acts, it is not up to other departments to interfere with the FBI's work.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of two weeks, the FBI, in conjunction with other official organizations, launched a focused crackdown on mutants.

Many mutants were arrested.

However, Magneto, who was rescued from prison, is still nowhere to be found, and they haven't even captured many members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Washington, which had been under a state of emergency, gradually lifted its lockdown, while New York returned to normal.

Inside the prison.

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

Obadiah Stan asked as he looked at Tony Stark who had come to visit him.

"Yes, and I also want to know if you feel remorse for everything you've done."

Obadiah Stan burst into laughter at Tony's words.

This made Tony Stark frown: "What are you laughing at? Looks like you're doing pretty well in prison, you can still laugh."

I truly regret it. I regret not taking action against you sooner, and I regret supporting those idiots in the Middle East. How dare they disobey my orders and not kill you immediately!

Seeing Obadiah Stan's stubbornness, Tony Stark stood up and said, "Looks like you're still enjoying the prison atmosphere."

"Something's wrong with you, Tony. Even though you've been hiding it, I know you all too well."

Upon hearing Obadiah Stan's words, Tony Stark's previously nonchalant expression gradually disappeared, and he fell silent.

Outside the prison.

Sitting in the car, Lynn smoked a cigarette, waiting for Tony to come out of prison.

Lynn knew very well that Tony Stark would come to visit Obadiah Stan, which is why he had kept him around until today.

But after today, I can send Obadiah Stan to see Morpheus.

A dozen minutes later.

Tony Stark came out of prison, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing that Tony seemed a bit off, Lynn smiled and asked, "Are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

In response to Lynn's question, Tony shrugged: "I thought I'd see Obadiah crying his eyes out."

The way he knelt before me, constantly repenting—ugh, the result was truly disappointing.

"Lynn, you FBI guys aren't so great either. You can't even make criminals realize their mistakes."

Seeing Tony's stubbornness, Lynn laughed and said, "That's easy. Just throw him into one of those big black guys' prison blocks, and I guarantee he'll be kneeling before you in less than three days..."

"It's about kneeling in front of a proctologist."

R

Seeing Lynn shake his head, Tony Stark suddenly said, "Are you free this afternoon? I have plans with Rhodes, how about the three of us go celebrate?"

"What are we celebrating? Celebrating the fact that Obadiah Stane is about to kneel before a proctologist?"

Rolling his eyes at Lynn, Tony Stark shrugged and said, "Celebrating the launch of Stark Industries' new clean energy business, your stock must have doubled again!"

"If I hadn't sold that stock, I should definitely celebrate. Unfortunately, I already sold my Stark Industries stock recently, and my new stock purchases have multiplied my net worth several times over!"

At this point, Lynn looked at Tony and said, "Tony, you can't do it either!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing Lynn's "disdainful" look, Tony immediately turned to look out the window, deciding not to talk to Lynn anymore!

Two hours later.

"Tony seems a bit off lately."

Looking at Tony, who was already drunk and fast asleep on the sofa.

Rhodes said to Lynn, "I feel like he's been in a really low mood lately, and he's even been a bit indulgent."

Hearing Rod say that, Lynn shrugged.

He downed his drink in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Everyone has secrets they don't want to tell others. If he doesn't want to talk about it, can you force him to?"

"I'm leaving. You're in charge of cleaning up the mess."

Lynn Hall glanced at the living room, which was littered with empty bottles, and said.

Tony Stark's excessive indulgence was undoubtedly due to palladium poisoning.

Although he drank that dark green vegetable juice every day, it didn't have much effect.

"These things were originally Pepper's job, but since she became the CEO of Stark Industries, Tony has yet to find a suitable second personal assistant."

Seeing Lynn preparing to leave, Rod stood up as he spoke.

After seeing Lynn to the door, Rhodes suddenly said, "Lynn, can we lift the surveillance on Stryker? It's having a big impact on him."

"He complained to his superiors in the military, and the general went to your FBI director in New York. As a result, your Director Duke said, 'You have to make all the decisions.'"

At this point, Rhodes spread his hands and said, "Lynn, I know Stryker..."

"Make him come to me and apologize in person first. Rhodes, Tony and I are friends, and Tony and you are friends too."

"We can be friends in private, but the FBI and the military have never been friends."

After saying that, Lynn waved to Rhodes, then turned and left Tony's villa.
