Chapter 68: Inspiring Generals

"Boss, a piece of 'Golden Ratio Shaomai'."

In New York, in front of the Stark Industries building, there is a constant flow of people in front of the conspicuous red food truck.

Agent Phil stood in the queue, dressed as a diner, but his eyes naturally passed across the Stark Industries Building in front of him.

"It looks like Tony Stark won't be coming to the company today."

Seeing that today it was Tony's personal secretary Pepper Potts who came to Stark Industries alone.

Phil made a mental judgment, retracted his gaze, and returned it to the fast food truck in front of him.

The aroma of Shaomai that seemed to drift to the tip of his nose made the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent swallow his saliva subconsciously.

Theoretically speaking, as a professionally trained agent, you will generally not be swayed by a little food unless it is delicious.

And obviously, the food sold in this Chinese food truck is the kind of food that even professional agents like Phil can't tolerate.

Taking the shaomai, Phil glanced at the restaurant owner in front of him who clearly had a story-telling face. The professional habits of an agent made him speak subconsciously, and said in a familiar tone: "Boss, it seems that you just I’ve been in New York not long ago.”

The action of rolling out the dough with his hands paused subconsciously. Faced with Phil's inquiry, [Jie Lu] looked silent on the surface, and then said: "So what?"

[Jie Lu]'s reaction successfully aroused Phil's interest, and he couldn't help but said: "Nothing, I just feel that with your cooking skills, boss, since you can make such delicious dishes, the dining car does not seem to be your first choice for work. .”

"The world of cooking is not as simple as you think."

In response to this, [Jie Lu] did not respond directly. Instead, he lowered his head and whispered in a just right voice.

"What?"

Blinking, Phil couldn't help but ask.

"Hey man," however, before the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent could make any further inquiries, the plump bald black man lined up behind him couldn't help but complain: "You didn't see there are so many more behind you. Are there people waiting in line? Why don’t you give up your seat quickly?”

Turning his head and taking a look at the increasingly dissatisfied team behind him, Agent Phil had to give up his plan to ask further questions.

After all, he still has a mission and cannot cause trouble casually.

"Feel sorry."

After leaving the dining car, Phil turned his head and glanced at the burly man in the car.

From his experience as an agent, he had a hunch that there must be some unknown secret hidden in the other party.

[Legendary +40 from Phil Coulson]

"Of course there is a secret. Even if there isn't, I will make you think there is."

In the antique shop, Li Ran couldn't help but murmured as he looked at the legend popping up on the data panel.

…

"Don't you ever wake up?"

After the battle at the port, they met again. Even though in the other's mind, he and Ah Xing were completely unrelated existences, Li Ran's expression was a little subtle when he saw Jessica appearing in the antique shop.

Simply, the other party was so drunk that he didn't notice the strange look on Li Ran's face.

"I'd rather stay drunk."

Taking a big gulp of the wine bottle in her hand, Jessica's mood was always low: "This way, at least you won't think of those irritating things."

"What's wrong?"

As a party and protagonist of the port war, Li Ran naturally knew what the incident in Jessica's mouth was. However, in order to avoid being exposed, he still pretended to be completely unaware and asked: "What happened?" ?”

Under the influence of alcohol, Jessica did not hide the content of the port battle and revealed directly: "We fell into the trap of the Hand, and someone died because of it."

"We had no choice but to watch him fall.

And all of this is because of me, shit! It was me who harmed him. If I hadn't been so stupid and easily fell into the Hand's trap, if he hadn't been trying to save me at that time, maybe none of this would have happened..."

For this reason, Jessica went to find the guy who disclosed the information to her and beat him up so hard that it took basically three to five years for him to come out of the hospital normally.

But, so what, Ah Xing will not come back to life because of this.

[Legendary from Jessica Jones +110]

Li Ran glanced at the legend on the panel with raised eyebrows, but he didn't expect that his actions would make Jessica so sad.

Looking at this petite figure pouring wine into the bottle, Li Ran felt a little guilty in his heart.

However, guilt is guilt, and it is related to the important plan of Legend. Li Ran will not expose his shortcomings and reveal the secret that he is Ah Xing just because of the guilt in his heart.

After restraining his emotions, Li Ran continued to act as the third party liaison of the Assassin Brotherhood.

"Jessica, I feel sorry for everything you have suffered. However, I want to tell you that death is not the end of everything. In the eyes of the Assassin Brotherhood, death is the beginning of everything, representing hope and salvation. Faith. I think the one who saved you also has the same faith as the Brotherhood, so he will fight side by side with you."

"Shared beliefs."

Putting down the bottle of wine in her hand, Jessica murmured and repeated.

In the antique shop, as these words continued to sound, Jessica's originally confused expression became more and more sober. Holding her messy hair, she raised her head and stared at Li Ran in front of her: "I hope, Brother Assassin will be able to help us fight together and defeat the Hand."

Hearing this, Li Ran raised his eyebrows subconsciously.

Although Jessica's proposal was a bit unexpected, for Li Ran, it hit the pillow just when he was dozing off, which was exactly what he wanted.

Before, Li Ran was thinking about how he should appear in front of the defenders again after Axing left the field.

Although there was something wrong in his heart, Li Ran still maintained his expected style as a liaison of the Assassin Brotherhood.

"I have said before that the Brotherhood will not easily launch attacks on the opponents without a successful one-hit kill."

"Don't you brotherhood always think that you are doing the right thing? Kill one person and save tens of millions of people. Then why don't you dare to take action again? Perhaps, all these are just your excuses. The so-called Assassin Brotherhood is just a A coward who trembles in the face of the powerful power of the Hand."

Jessica's tone was very aggressive, and she obviously wanted to anger Li Ran.

Therefore, Li Ran also made a thoughtful expression and nodded silently.

"Understood, I will convey your message to the Brotherhood."

"But I can't guarantee what the outcome will be."

"Anyway, thank you."

Jessica raised the corners of her mouth slightly and thanked her softly.
