In the Marvel universe, you start with a colored Hextech item.

The two exchanged a glance.

One is a veteran genius scientist, the other is a newly minted New York Homelander; an invisible clash seems to unfold at this moment.

But Lynn had no such thoughts.

He suddenly smiled, picked up the last intact glass of champagne on the waiter's tray, and raised it to Tony from afar.

"Since you know I've been relatively restrained, you should understand that I've already made some concessions, otherwise, given my temper..."

"Aim your gun at me, and that's your enemy."

"But you don't need to be nervous. Rhodes is a good person in some ways, and I won't make a move against him for now."

"I just need you to pass this on to him."

Although he was speaking to Tony, Lynn's eyes were fixed on Rhodes, who was being helped up by Happy.

"Think about your own capabilities before you act, don't throw your life away needlessly, even though I don't mind having another life on my hands."

His words were incredibly arrogant and domineering.

It was during this period that Lynn gradually began to show his attitude and domineering nature to the outside world.

Previously, his abilities were insufficient to support him in displaying his talents, but as the rewards for completing tasks gradually compensated for his shortcomings.

From the remains of the "Despicable Throat" to the "Hologa Armguards," and the conceptual "Moos Lita's Little Bell."

Although he is currently no match for the Asura behind Fury, or Earth's current minor boss—the Ancient One.

However, the city of Fisk Tower is already crafting the item [Useless Rod + Chain Vest = Craftable Item 'Crownguard'].

Ever since the king came into his sight, Lynn knew that he would inevitably have to cross paths with Kamar-Taj in the future.

As the Ancient One, the "Sorcerer Supreme of Earth," he had to be wary, and the Crownguard was undoubtedly a good piece of equipment.

He just didn't expect that the reward for this round of missions would be a duplicate of the "magic resistance" effect.

As for his remarks tonight, and his appearance with Tony, I believe it will make the headlines again tomorrow.

Tony frowned slightly.

The atmosphere, which had just calmed down, was quickly reignited, especially with Rhodes looking like he couldn't wait to put on his battle suit right now.

The situation is not good.

Moreover...

Jarvis's analysis showed that the person in front of him was not an arrogant or domineering individual; otherwise, S.H.I.E.L.D. would not have sought to cooperate with him.

So it was intentional?

Tony couldn't figure out what Lynn was thinking.

But Jarvis's answer was intentional.

"Rhodes is a very good friend of mine, and you... I admire you, so I don't want there to be any conflict between you two."

"Lynn, that's enough."

Tony, wearing a Mark 6, took a slight step to the side.

They seem ready to make a move at any moment.

Seeing this, Lynn shrugged, showing slight weakness.

He didn't have a good impression of Rhodes; he was only a good person in a broad sense, so it wasn't appropriate to kill him directly.

Rhodes was a staunch supporter of the subsequent Sokovia Agreement, and a staunch supporter of the government.

This agreement is clearly better for ordinary people.

Those in power, high-ranking officials, and the government want to make rules so that "superheroes" also have to comply with relevant laws and oversight.

If he were in a high position, he would naturally be happy to witness this scene.

Unfortunately, he is someone who needs to be supervised, and Lynn will not allow such a thing to happen to him.

And S.H.I.E.L.D.... he's slowly making his way out of the picture.

This is also why he summoned Frank and tried to change Peter's personality; this kind of moral blackmail cannot bind him.

Immediately.

Lynn downed the champagne in one gulp, and under everyone's gaze, turned and walked toward the center of the banquet hall.

He must complete the task perfectly and continue to improve himself.

however.

Just as he was about to speak, he launched into another "explosive" speech.

The phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

"Um... everyone, please wait a moment."

The moment the words fell.

Lynn flung the cup in her hand, and with a "crack," the cup shattered at Hammer's feet as he was about to sneak away.

"Next time, I'll smash it on your head."

Now, no one dared to make any rash moves.

Tony didn't act rashly; instead, he wanted to see what the other man was up to.

Lynn looked at the number on her phone and smiled slightly.

"Done so quickly?"

"The second half of this banquet has only just begun. When will you be back? Don't forget that you are also half a protagonist in this banquet."

But the voice from the other end of the phone froze the joy on Lynn's face.

"...A banquet? Hahaha..."

"Lynn, I have indeed prepared a grand banquet for you, and now all that's missing is you, the star of the show."

Dario's sinister laughter came through the receiver.

The bait has already caught a big one; now it's time to use that big bait to catch Lynn, this deep-sea monster.

Where is Frank?

Dario's voice answered him, sinister and insane, mixed with distant static and dull thuds.

"Your loyal henchman Frank is now like a dead dog under my feet."

"I have to say, using white lies to deceive people like you is the best and most effective method."

"But the people you trained are indeed quite capable."

At this point, Dario stomped his foot again.

"Frank charged into my encirclement, tore six cyborgs apart with his bare hands, and crippled two special operations teams."

"His reckless drive almost broke through the blockade, causing me considerable trouble, but fortunately..."

"In the end, I captured him alive."

Lynn couldn't help but rub her temples.

He had just noticed that something was off with Frank. The idea that an old comrade needed help seemed to be a trap.

With Dario's abilities, he could easily put those people in a lot of trouble, forcing Frank to help.

Then use him to fish for yourself.

Lynn sighed softly.

"Aren't you afraid I won't go to rescue them?"

"impossible!"

Dario spoke with absolute confidence.

Since they've chosen to promote themselves in such a high-profile way, why would they back down from such an open declaration of war?

"Sigh... tell me the location."

Dario laughed heartily and slowly recited the coordinates.

"Hudson River Estuary, Abyss Outpost."

"Let me tell you the truth, this place has already been laid a trap. Since you've attacked me, you must really want to get rid of me, right?"

"This place is a good burial site."

"You have thirty minutes. If you're one minute late, I'll break his arm; if you're ten minutes late, you can just wait to collect his corpse."

"I'm waiting for you!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After a moment of silence, a glint of light flashed in Lynn's eyes, and he revealed a playful yet arrogant smile.

"Playing straight to the card... Dario, you really know me, you know I like lively places."

Then he looked at Tony, who was still in a daze.

"I have a banquet to attend, but it would be too lonely if I were the only one there. I need your help."

"Could we broadcast this live on Stark's screen?"
