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

Inside the Stark Industries building.

"The people from S.H.I.E.L.D. are here."

As Sitwell approached with Crossbones and Rumlow, Tony Stark shrugged at Lynn and said, "Now I finally understand why the police only arrive in movies after the protagonist has taken care of a bunch of villains."

"Like now, we've won, and that's why S.H.I.E.L.D. is coming to take away Loki, the war criminal. But what if we lose? Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. would launch a nuclear missile at Manhattan?"

Before Lynn could speak after hearing Tony's words, Thor interjected, "Loki is an Asgardian. Even if he's to be punished, it should be Asgardian punishment. I will not hand him over!"

Although he was speaking to Tony, Thor's gaze was fixed on Lynn.

"Mr. Hall!"

Leading Rumlow and the others over, Sitwell said, "According to Director Fury's orders, we are preparing to escort the Scepter, the Tesseract, and Loki back to S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"That's impossible!"

Before Lynn could speak, Thor stepped forward and said, "I will not hand Loki over to you."

"this.."

Faced with Thor's tough stance, Sitwell also turned his gaze to Lynn.

"I'll talk to him."

Lynn gave Saul a look, then led Sitwell aside.

"What was Mr. Pierce's decision?"

"Compared to the Tesseract and the Scepter, Loki isn't actually that important, Mr. Hall. The Secretary General's idea is that we should get both the Tesseract and the Scepter at the same time."

"Especially the scepter; it has the power to control anyone. Once we get the scepter, then..."

Glancing at Tony Stark and his group not far away, Sitwell continued, "So we absolutely cannot let Thor take the scepter!"

"Understood, then let's exchange the Cosmic Cube for the scepter."

Nodding, Lynn returned to the group, took the Mind Scepter from Natasha, and placed it into the box in Rumlow's hand.

"Thor, you can take the Tesseract and Loki with you!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Thor finally grinned.

[Sol Odinson's favorability rating: 5]

Well, fighting side by side raised Thor's favorability to 4, and now Lynn has helped him resolve the "dispute" involving Loki.

So Thor's affection for Lynn increased a little more.

Watching Sitwell and his men take the Mind Scepter, Tony Stark suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Gentlemen, the war is over. I think we should go and celebrate the victory."

"I know a pretty good Turkish kebab restaurant, wanna try it? It's on me!"

Faced with Tony's suggestion, the group exchanged glances.

"Okay, I'll arrange Sean and Alice's work after that."

Lynn was the first to accept Tony's invitation.

"I'm a bit hungry too. After fighting for so long, I deserve a good meal." With that, she finished speaking.

Natasha turned to look at Hawkeye.

"Of course, no problem."

Clint Barton put away his bow and arrows and nodded.

Seeing that no one objected, Tony looked at Thor and said, "I don't mind if you bring Loki along. We can sit at the table and Loki can squat next to us."

"Oh!"

Before Thor could answer, Loki suddenly transformed into Tony Stark: "When we're sitting at the table, Loki can squat to the side. Thor, are you going to watch your brother suffer such humiliation?"

When Hulk saw Loki transformed into Tony's appearance, he was somewhat bewildered.

He glanced at Tony, then at Loki transformed into Tony Stark.

His large eyes were filled with confusion; he didn't understand why there were two Tonys here.

Only after seeing Loki transform back did Hulk clench his fist and glare angrily at Loki.

"Hey, take it easy, big guy, I've already given up!"

Faced with Hulk's angry glare, Loki raised his bound hands in a gesture.

"Shut up!"

After glaring at Loki, Thor looked at Tony and said, "Never mind, the most important thing right now is to bring Loki back to Asgard to face my father's punishment."

"But after I've dealt with the rebellion in the Nine Realms caused by Loki, perhaps we can throw a celebration party!"

"Wow, I love lively parties."

They came outside chatting and laughing. Thor nodded to everyone and then called out to Heimdall towards the sky.

The Rainbow Bridge magic descended from the sky, enveloping the two, and they quickly disappeared from the spot.

"That's really convenient."

Watching Thor leave, Natasha smiled and said something, then turned to Lynn and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Ever since you handed the scepter to Sitwell, you've been keeping a close watch on your surroundings. Could there be other enemies?"

When Natasha asked him, Lynn smiled and shook his head.

Well, that's good. After the Battle of New York, no Avengers came from the future.

"I'm going to take care of some things. See you in a bit!"

After greeting everyone, Lynn walked towards Gwen.

"Lynn!"

Upon seeing Lynn approach, Gwen excitedly jumped into his arms: "We won! We defeated those alien reptiles!"

Hearing Gwen's somewhat excited tone, Lynn smiled and patted her hair: "Don't forget to call Uncle George and Aunt Helen later to let them know you're safe."

"I think they must be very worried right now."

"Yes, I will!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Gwen immediately nodded.

After exchanging a few words with Professor X, the members of the Illuminati returned to their quarters.

As for Sean, Alice, and the others, they had already begun rescue operations with the FBI.

Half an hour later, inside a Turkish kebab restaurant.

The group sat in silence, eating, and for some reason, none of them seemed inclined to speak.

After a moment, Steve spoke first: "Although we won this battle, Manhattan as a whole was affected."

"After this battle, the whole world knew that aliens existed in the universe and were eyeing Earth with hostility."

"I am very worried that this will cause panic worldwide."

Hearing Steve say this, Natasha looked at Lynn and said, "After the Battle of New York ends, the authorities will definitely hold a press conference."

"Lynn, you have the highest official rank among us. Have you received any news?"

In response to Natasha's question, everyone looked at Lynn.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lynn nodded and said, "I received a call from Director Duke as soon as the war ended."

"This press conference will be held at City Hall, so I won't mention governors or mayors."

"I will be representing the Illuminati, while Steve and Tony, you two will be representing the Avengers at this press conference!"

Three days later, early morning, inside a Manhattan hotel.

"You two are becoming more and more famous."

Looking at Taylor and Melissa lying on either side of him, Lynn said with a smile, "I heard that if it weren't for this alien invasion of New York, you two would have been preparing to hold a concert for 10,000 people at the New York Stadium?"

Hearing Lynn's words, Taylor nestled her head against Lynn's chest and said, "Then I should thank you. If you hadn't helped me solve the record company's problems, I might still be being exploited by them!"

"That's right, that's right."

Melissa, standing to the side, propped up her snow-white arm and said, "Ever since you ordered the investigation of that fat pig..."

The record company bosses are all very polite to me now, and they wouldn't dare let me attend any more of those "rule-bound" parties!

At this point, Melissa kissed Lynn on the cheek: "Now everyone online is saying that you led the Illuminati to save New York, saved the world, and are a superhero!"

"But long before that, you were already our greatest hero!"

Seeing Melissa and Taylor looking at him with admiration, Lynn gently stroked the sisters' smooth backs: "Aren't you going to give the hero some reward?"

M

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Melissa and Taylor exchanged a glance, then simultaneously lowered their heads and plunged into the cup.

"call.."

With a sigh of relief, Lynn opened the system to check his favorability rating.

The Battle of New York ended. Although Manhattan suffered heavy losses and many Americans died, Lynn gained a lot of goodwill from the superheroes during the war.

For example, Tony's favorability rating finally rose to 8 points after fighting alongside Lynn in the Battle of New York.

Lynn also gained 2000 experience points.

Natasha's favorability rating increased from 5 to 7, gaining 500 experience points, which is 7 points higher than Tony Stark's.

I lost 500 points when trying to increase my favorability.

Clint's favorability rating increased from 2 to 5.

Thor also has 5 points of favorability, while Banner has 4 points.

As for Steve Rogers, Captain America, who is also a member of the Illuminati and the Avengers, his favorability rating increased directly from 4 points to 7 points, the same as when Tony had 7 points of favorability, giving Lynn a bonus of 1000 experience points.

It can be said that after experiencing this war fought side by side, the favorability of the original six Avengers has been greatly improved.

Even Jean Grey and Professor X's favorability ratings increased from 5 to 6.

Therefore, Lynn now even hopes that the Battle of New York can happen again.

After all, nothing increases goodwill more than fighting side by side and sharing life and death!

inside the car.

"Boss, City Hall is almost ready. The press conference about the Battle of New York will begin in an hour. Here is your speech."

After seeing Lynn get into the car, Barbara said as she drove Lynn toward City Hall, "This press conference has attracted media from all over the United States, and even news media from various countries."

"So boss, I've arranged for several New York media outlets to ask you questions during the press conference."

"These New York media outlets are all our mouthpieces!"

Hearing Barbara's arrangements, Lynn nodded, looking at the speech in her hand: "You're getting more and more impressive!"

"Hehe, it's all thanks to your excellent training. After following you for so long, if I didn't even have this much skill, wouldn't I be embarrassing you?"

At this point, Barbara blinked curiously and asked, "Boss, were those two female singers' skills alright?"

"It's alright, but I prefer their loud and clear voices."

"My voice is pretty good too. You even said my voice is quite sweet."

"you?"

Looking at Barbara sideways, Lynn laughed and said, "She's really good, but she always seems to faint halfway through."

The two talked as they drove toward the city hall.

The road was littered with the scars left by the Battle of New York.

Upon arriving at the city hall, Lynn got out of the car and saw that Steve wasn't going in but standing outside the city hall, so he smiled and walked over.

"Why don't you go in?"

"I'm still not used to dealing with those officials."

Seeing Lynn approach, Steve said with a smile.

"Is this the new combat suit that City Hall prepared for you?"

Looking at Steve's brand-new blue bodysuit, Lynn asked with a smile.

"That's right!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Steve shrugged: "I was originally planning to wear normal clothes, but the mayor told me that after the Battle of New York, people need a spiritual symbol to encourage them to get over the disaster and trauma."

"So I put on this uniform, and the mayor also thoughtfully prepared a gift for me."

"What gift?"

As the two walked towards the city hall, Lynn asked curiously.

"Stork Club!"

Looking at Lynn, Steve shrugged.

"The Stork Club? That's the club where Ms. Peggy invited you back then."

"That's right!"

Taking a deep breath, Steve shook his head with a self-deprecating smile: "I missed my date with Peggy on Saturday night at eight o'clock for seventy years."

"I never imagined that this club would belong to me seventy years later. It's truly..."

Seeing the melancholy look in Steve's eyes, Lynn raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?"

Descending from the sky in his armor, Tony Stark opened his visor and looked at the two men, saying, "Are you talking bad about me?"

As Tony walked over in his armor, Lynn chuckled, "That's right, Steve and I were wondering if Pepper slept with you after she came back from Europe two days ago."

"Who told you not to let her come back when the Battle of New York happened!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Tony Stark shrugged and said, "Come on, I'm Tony Stark, how could I not even be able to get into bed?"

As Tony watched a black sedan drive up from a distance, he whispered to Lynn, "If Pepper asks later, Lynn, just say that you ordered the lockdown of New York and that it wasn't lifted until after the war."

Upon hearing Tony's request, Lynn glanced at Pepper, who was getting out of the car, and said, "So, you want me to take the blame for you?"

"No wonder you flew over here early in your armor. Fine, for your happiness, as your friend, I have to step up."

"That's great! I'll definitely get you a date with the New York princess when we have the party later!"

Steve smiled as he listened to their conversation.

This pleasant atmosphere among friends is truly relaxing.

Inside the city hall.

"Let us observe a moment of silence for the civilians who died in the Battle of New York."

After the moment of silence ended, the governor began to speak at length from the stage.

offstage.

"Ha, that really fits my impression of these officials. They'll never miss an opportunity to show off."

Watching the governor on the stage continuously recount the events to the media and cameras, it was as if he were the person involved.

Tony Stark glanced at Lynn beside him and muttered a complaint.

Despite Tony's complaints, Lynn maintained a smile and said nothing.

However, when the governor released statistics showing that more than 300 civilians had died in the disaster, the situation changed.

Even Steve frowned.

"Lynn, are there really only three hundred or so civilians who died?"

In response to Steve's question, Lynn said softly, "According to the data obtained by the FBI, the death toll the governor mentioned would be several times higher to be accurate, and the number of injured civilians is even greater!"

Upon hearing Lynn's answer, Steve remained silent.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Lynn Hall, the Deputy Director of the FBI in New York, leader of the Illuminati, and the superhero who led the Illuminati, the Avengers, and the X-Men to defeat the aliens and save the Earth."

Following the governor's introduction, Lynn stood up and walked towards the press conference stage.

When Lynn stepped in front of the microphone, before he could even speak, the reporters and the public below spontaneously burst into extremely enthusiastic applause and cheers.

They knew that compared to the governor who had just offered both silence and encouragement, this was a different story.

Lynn Hall is the real superhero who saved the world!

Listening to the spontaneous applause and cheers of the crowd, Tony looked at Steve and said, "Now, Lynn's reputation in New York is even greater!"

"He deserves it!"

As he clapped, Steve spoke earnestly.

This press conference was broadcast live globally, and many people watched it on television and computers.

So when Lynn walked onto the stage with a solemn expression, everyone was eager to see what Lynn would say!

SHIELD.

As Lynn Hall recounted the events leading up to the Battle of New York to reporters around the world on a holographic projection, the footage played out on screen.

Nick Fury said to Alexander Pierce, "It's a pity. If Lynn Hall had been willing to join the Avengers, the Avengers would not only have been a level stronger overall, but they would also have had higher authority."

"Oh? What rumors have you heard?"

Seeing Nick Fury's somewhat regretful tone, Pierce asked with a smile.

"In the three days following the Battle of New York, the president's staff suggested to the president that the Avengers be designated as an official organization."

"Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed turning the Avengers, this superhero organization, into a state-governed entity. If the Avengers obey Congress's orders, then given their influence among the public, perhaps..."

Oh!"

Upon hearing the news about Nick Fury, Pierce glanced at Lynn Hall, who was answering questions from reporters.

He then laughed and said, "That's how politicians behave. Whenever they see something good, they can't wait to turn it into a weapon in their struggle for power and profit."

"What about those people in Congress regarding the Illuminati? Didn't they ever consider bringing the Illuminati under their control?"

"That's why I regret Lynn's refusal to join the Avengers!"

When Pierce asked him, Nick Fury shook his head and said, "Congress only wants to pass legislation targeting the Avengers, but it ignores the Illuminati."

"Perhaps they believe that Lynn Hall, as the deputy director of the FBI in New York, is an official."

Therefore, there is no difference between him leading the Illuminati and Congress leading the Illuminati.

Upon hearing Nick Fury's reply, Pierce lit a cigar, smiled, and remained silent.

How could those idiots in Congress not know that sunlight produces light?

Especially after the Battle of New York, the Illuminati gained even greater prestige because of the war.

In this situation, let alone Lynn being the deputy director of the FBI in New York.

Even if he were the deputy director of the FBI, Congress wouldn't let go of such a lucrative opportunity as the Illuminati.

The main reason why Congress is now turning a blind eye to the Illuminati is because Lynn Hall is a Hydra agent, one of their own.

That's why the Hydra members in Congress joined forces to shift Congress's attention to the Avengers.

Thinking this, Alexander Pierce said to Nick Fury, "Do you need my help?"

"After all, I deal with those politicians frequently."

In response to Pierce's question, Nick Fury turned off the holographic projection: "There is something I need your help with."

"I can handle Congress's issues regarding the Avengers, but the biggest problem right now is the lack of funding for S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce. I hope you..."

"Wasn't the funding for the last quarter just approved?"

When Nick Fury said S.H.I.E.L.D. was out of money, even Pierce frowned: "Fury, I want you to be honest with me. What exactly are you doing with the large sums of money you've misappropriated?"

"A plan I've been conceiving for a long time!"

Looking at Pierce, Nick Fury said, "You'll see!"

"Yes, this disaster was caused by the Tesseract. Loki obtained it, opened a wormhole, and then led aliens to invade New York!"

"The reason I closed New York ahead of time was not because I had prior knowledge of the Battle of New York, but because of another major case."

"The war with aliens has caused immense damage to New York. Inevitably, many atrocities will occur under such circumstances. Therefore, the Illuminati's next mission will be to protect the safety of the people and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to commit evil!"

Lynn answered the reporter's questions calmly.

Whenever a reporter wanted to ask a question that couldn't be answered, many New York reporters would chime in with their prepared questions to help Lynn out of the predicament. It has to be said that Barbara's arrangements were excellent, cleverly avoiding some of Lynn's troubles!

After the press conference, Tony Stark approached Lynn: "I'm throwing a party this Saturday, do you want to come?"

"Steve and Rhodes will be coming. Also, I've finally managed to invite Princess Anne, whom you've been longing to see."

Looking at Tony winking at him, Lynn raised an eyebrow and said, "Really? Then we'll see if your wingman role is effective!"

As the two were talking quietly, Pepper walked over from the side and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

"Hi, Pepper, long time no see."

After greeting Pepper, Lynn smiled and said, "Tony just told me that he's planning to renovate Stark Industries Building all over again."

"At the same time, to thank the Illuminati for saving the world, Tony decided to spend a lot of money to expand the Illuminati's base and even prepare to establish a superhero foundation."

"Specifically for paying superheroes' salaries!"

Upon hearing Lynn's answer, Tony Stark's eyes widened in surprise.

He was practically pointing his finger at Lynn and calling her shameless.

But when faced with Pepper's questioning gaze, Tony Stark shrugged and said, "Lynn is right, I do have that plan."

"Pepper, you know these superheroes who just saved the world don't actually get paid."

"They fought against aliens at the risk of death entirely out of their sense of justice."

"Some of these superheroes are still students, and some even have to work three jobs a day to support their families."

"They couldn't even afford to go to the hospital after they were injured because they couldn't afford commercial insurance."

"So, I feel that since I have the ability, I can't just stand by and watch all of this happen."

Seeing Pepper's increasingly gentle gaze, Tony Stark became even more enthusiastic: "So I not only want to build a luxurious base for the Illuminati members, but also establish a foundation to guarantee their livelihood."

"I want to name this foundation after you, and this foundation will not only pay these heroes a salary every month."

"It will also ensure they can receive hospital treatment after being injured, and even their families will enjoy certain protections!"

"Tony..."

Upon hearing Tony's decision, Pepper, disregarding Lynn's presence, cupped Tony's cheeks and gave him a kiss.

"I absolutely support your decision, Tony. This is a very meaningful thing, and I'm truly proud of you!"

With that, Pepper took out her phone and said, "I'll go get someone to arrange it right away!"

"I'll go with you."

With that, Tony put his arm around Pepper and walked outside!

"Boss, what's going on?"

Barbara approached Lynn and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just swindled a huge sum of money from Tony, and then he had to thank me!"

After saying that, Lynn led Barbara outside.

With the press conference concluded, the battle for New York came to a complete end.

Everyone was talking about the alien incident, and the fame of the Illuminati and the Avengers spread throughout the world.

For ordinary people, the existence of extraterrestrials in the universe, or even the idea of ​​extraterrestrials invading Earth, has gradually become a topic of conversation.

But for the FBI, the aftermath of the incident has only just begun.

In just two months, Lynn led the FBI to arrest hundreds of opportunistic scoundrels.

Moreover, many of the Chitauri who picked up equipment from the Manhattan battlefield began committing further crimes, relying on their alien weapons.

Within a community.

"FUXX!"

After watching as he used the Chitauri energy gun to send his fellow action team members flying, Sean cursed under his breath.

He immediately took out a powerful flashbang and threw it into the apartment.

"Puff."

As the flashbang exploded, the people in the room were instantly blinded, and everything around them turned white, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The smarter guys knelt on the ground, clutching their eyes in surrender, while the other fools fired their energy guns indiscriminately.

Upon seeing this, Sean and his men who rushed in opened fire.

In just a few seconds, those idiots fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing that everything was under control, Sean waved his hand, ordering his men to take away the kneeling man and collect the Chitauri energy guns.

"This is the thirteenth bank robbery using Chitauri weapons!"

Dennis opened the safe, saw stacks of banknotes inside, took the money out, and said to Sean, "Damn it!"

Spitting at the corpses on the ground, Sean holstered his gun and said, "Who knows what these idiots were thinking?"

"The first thing they did after getting the weapons was to fucking rob a bank."

"Don't they know that if a federal bank in New York is robbed, it falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI investigation?"

"Why don't they just rob those New York banks?"

Hearing Sean's curses, Dennis laughed and said, "I'd rather more federal banks were robbed."

"After all, every time we catch these bastards, we can make some extra money."

"If I do this dozens of times a year, I could buy an apartment in Manhattan!"

Hearing Dennis's words, Sean laughed as well: "It's just that the boss is generous to us brothers, especially after he became the deputy director, he applied for more funding for us."

"If those other three bastards had become deputy directors back then, with our salaries, we'd have to wait decades to buy a house!"

At this point, Sean had Dennis put the money away, and as he walked out, he said, "Oh, by the way, I'm having my engagement party next weekend, don't forget to come!"

"Of course I won't forget."

Hearing Sean say that, Dennis laughed and said, "But you really want to get married?"

"There's nothing we can do, Eileen is pregnant."

Sean looked at Dennis with a smug expression and said.

"You're going to be a dad? Congratulations!"

Dennis congratulated Sean, and before he could say anything more, he saw a black Chevrolet driving towards them.

"Fuck it, it's those bastards from S.H.I.E.L.D. again. Dennis, have someone secure the Chitauri weapons. Don't hand them over this time either!"

"yes!"

Dennis nodded and walked towards the others.

Half an hour later, in Lynn's office.

"Boss, S.H.I.E.L.D. has lodged another protest with the FBI!"

Hearing Barbara say this, Lynn asked with a smile, "And what's it about this time?"

"It's still about the Chitauri weapons. When it comes to controlling New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't as good as us. So we always manage to take care of those criminals who steal energy guns before S.H.I.E.L.D. finds them, so..."

Halfway through his sentence, a coughing sound came from under Lynn's desk.

"Bear with it, let's get down to business!"

Looking at Jessica kneeling under his desk, Lynn patted her head, then asked Barbara, "And then?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants the energy guns we confiscated back, and Hill would like to invite you to dinner tomorrow night."

Hearing Barbara say that, Lynn laughed and said, "Tomorrow is Christmas, who has time to have dinner with her?"

"Push it for me!"

"OK!"

Barbara nodded, picked up a glass, filled it with water, placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "Manager Jessica, I've filled your glass with water, don't choke!"

After swallowing the milk, Jessica slapped Lynn's leg in an annoyed tone: "It's all your fault!"

"It made me a laughingstock among those little bitches, Barbara."

"Next time we're in bed, you're not allowed to help her. I'm going to record her crying and then fainting, and then I'll make fun of her!"

After upgrading the Absolute Defense ability to LV4, Lynn shut down the system.

Seeing Gwen still fast asleep, Lynn quietly lifted the covers to get up.

"Hmm."

Sensing Lynn's movement to get out of bed, Gwen, though her eyes were closed, still managed to grab Lynn's arm and prevent him from leaving.

"It's almost 8 o'clock, the sun's already high in the sky."

Lynn gently patted Gwen's pert bottom and said affectionately.

"Just sleep a little longer, it's Christmas today anyway, I can just go home tonight!"

Seeing Gwen humming and refusing to open her eyes, Lynn chuckled, "Didn't we agree to go shopping today, and then I'd take you, Lorna, and Laura to the amusement park?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing about shopping and amusement parks, Gwen slowly opened her eyes, stared blankly for a few seconds, and then her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, we're going shopping today, and then we're taking Lorna and Laura on the roller coaster!"

Gwen sat up, threw off the covers, kissed Lynn on the cheek, and then ran off to the bathroom.

Seeing Gwen's excited expression, Lynn smiled and shook his head.

After breakfast, the four of them drove towards the store.

Gwen always treated Lorna and Laura like younger sisters.

Especially after the Illuminati was founded, the relationship between the three became better and better.

Gwen's affection for her two younger sisters has surpassed that for her best friend Mary Jane.

Seeing the three girls enter the store and start shopping, Lynn smiled and sat down in the rest area.

Several girls excitedly asked to take photos with Lynn, and Lynn, who is always kind to others, of course did not refuse.

As for the note that was slipped into her hand... Lynn tore it up and threw it in the trash can after they left.

On one hand, it didn't suit his aesthetic sense; on the other hand, Gwen kept looking back at him.

In just one morning, the three girls almost filled Lynn's Chevrolet with all the things they bought.

Even so, the three girls still hadn't bought enough.

Indeed, shopping is a woman's nature, even though Laura is only 14 after her birthday and Lorna is just 15.

age.

After lunch, Lynn drove the three of them to the amusement park.

The three girls chattered away the whole way, and even Polaris, who had a somewhat gloomy personality, showed a genuine smile in front of Gwen.

Inside the amusement park.

Lynn felt that the so-called thrilling roller coasters were really nothing special.

After all, he himself couldn't even remember how many times he had piloted an armed helicopter or how many times he had taken off his parachute.

However, the three girls were having a great time.

After riding the roller coaster, they went on the pirate ship, and the three girls were extremely happy all afternoon.

"Hey Lynn, you're on the front page!"

Watching the three girls continue playing on the amusement park rides, Tony Stark called Lynn: "The Deputy Director of the FBI in New York, the leader of the Illuminati, took three girls to the amusement park on Christmas Day."

"Wow, this report went straight to the front page of YouTube!"

Upon hearing Tony Stark's reminder on the other end of the phone, Lynn laughed and said, "You got photographed by reporters?"

"No, it wasn't. It was just a photo taken by a passerby and posted online. But seriously, Lynn, the public has a very high opinion of you!"

"Even in the comments section of the video, countless people praised you, saying you didn't have that disgusting fake populism of those officials, and you didn't... FUXX, what does it mean that Mr. Lynn Hall is a million times better than Iron Man Tony Stark?"

"Damn it, countless people call me a superhero, and how was this 10,000-fold figure calculated? This isn't fair!"

Hearing Tony's exasperated voice on the other end of the phone, Lynn laughed smugly, "Tony, this is the will of the people!"

"cut!"

Hearing Lynn's smug voice, Tony Stark scoffed, "By the way, what's up with Anne Hathaway? After you took her to parties and slept with her a few times, why are you ignoring her now?"

"She said in an interview that she wanted to go on a date with you, but the report can't be published. Are you really that heartless?"

"ruthless?"

In response to Tony's suggestion, Lynn laughed and said, "It's fine as a dessert a few times to cleanse the palate, but forget about a date. Besides, Tony, when did you learn to speak in such a roundabout way?"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Tony Stark remained silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, it's really not a big deal."

Leaning back on the sofa, Tony looked at the pictures on the tablet of Lynn taking the Light Illumination to the North Star and the Illusionist to the amusement park.

Tony Stark said, "I just feel like something's off with me lately!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn also became serious: "What exactly is wrong? Wasn't the palladium poisoning already resolved?"

"That's not it."

Tony Stark picked up his glass, ready to take a sip, but looking at the orange-red liquid inside, he put the glass down: "Ever since the Battle of New York, I've often dreamt that a wormhole has appeared over New York again."

"Then countless hideous aliens passed through the wormhole and killed people all over New York. We all rallied once again to fight back."

"But in the end, we all failed. Earth became a paradise for aliens, and your fallen bodies are right beside me."

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn frowned and asked, "How often do you dream about it?"

"At first, I would only have these dreams every few days, but they became more and more frequent, and now I dream about them every day."

Pinching his brow, Tony chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Pepper says I wake up in a panic every night from nightmares, sometimes even unconsciously summoning my armor to my side!"

At this point, Tony casually added, "But I think it's probably because I'm overthinking things, causing my brain to be too active, so... anyway, it shouldn't be anything serious!"

"Tony, I think you have anxiety!"

Lynn remembered that Tony's anxiety began after the Battle of New York.

He carried a nuclear bomb into space to destroy the Chitauri warship, and then he dreamed of the same scene every night.

Therefore, he was always worried that aliens would invade Earth again, which is why he developed anxiety disorder.

But in this Battle of New York, Tony carrying a nuclear bomb did not happen.

Unexpectedly, Tony still developed anxiety disorder!
