"Killian!"
Stark's words explained the identity of the caller.
"It seems that you have already received the gift from me… how is it? Do you still like it?"
Faced with Killian's personal provocation by calling, Stark didn't get dazzled by the anger, but returned to normal. In a ridiculous tone, Stark asked:
"Are you still brooding about things in Switzerland?"
While talking, Stark placed the phone on the coffee table under the gaze of everyone, and pressed the hands-free button.
In the next second, Killian's very awful beating sound was transmitted to everyone's ears through the phone:
"Tony… Tony… how could I be angry with you? Instead, I want to thank you for giving me the best gift in the world… that is, despair!"
"Don't thank me, if you don't involve Pepper, maybe I will buy you a glass of whiskey or something…"
"Hehe, it's still so playful…"
Killian ignored Stark's words, and then said:
"In Switzerland, you asked me to wait for you on the roof… For the first 20 minutes, I really thought you would come, but in the next hour…"
"I really want to take a step forward and jump off the top of the building."
While listening to Killian's story of the past, Stark seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly winked at Banner, and pointed his finger at the phone on the coffee table, as if he was reminding something.
Upon seeing this, Banner did not react in the first time, but Leon on the side understood Stark's intentions.
He leaned to Banner's ear and said softly: "Track the phone."
Hearing this, Banner, who had just reacted, immediately stepped forward and hurriedly ran to the laboratory next to the living room.
After arriving in the laboratory and closing the door, Banner immediately pressed the communication button on the experiment table, and ordered the artificial intelligence "Friday" that enveloped the entire Avengers alliance building:
"Friday, track the source of the call signal!"
As soon as the voice fell, a soft female voice sounded:
"Dr. Banner, I'm sorry, the source of the signal is unknown. It will take some time to screen."
"how long it takes?"
"five minutes."
Hearing this, Banner immediately raised his right hand, opened his palm, and shook it towards Leon and the others in the living room through the transparent glass wall, still muttering words.
At the same time, standing in the living room, Leon, who possessed the [Proficient Lip Language] skill, looked at Banner's mouth, and quickly understood what the other party wanted to express.
"five minutes."
During the whole process, in order to prevent Killian on the other side of the phone from noticing, everyone tried their best to make no sound and only communicated with their eyes with gestures.
Fortunately, it is not too difficult to express "five minutes"…
"Frankly, I am not interested in the story of how you got down from the roof. I just want to know, where is Pepper?"
"…The point is, since the guy with the hammer came up and down from the sky, subtlety has been out of fashion."
"Then what is your purpose for calling? Just to show off your victory in front of me?"
"No, no, that's not the time yet. The main purpose of my visit this time is to get a gift in return. I want to give you a gift in return for your kindness to me…"
"That is despair!"
Before everyone could react from Killian's words, Killian dropped a blockbuster in everyone's hearts:
"Mr. President, come over and say to your steel buddy Roar!"
After a short silence, a slightly vicissitudes of voice came from the other side of the phone:
"S… Stark… I'm Ellis…"
"Your Excellency the President?!" Steve frowned, with a serious face, and Roar couldn't help but startle.
"Save me…Save…"
At the moment, President Ellis' words came to an abrupt end, like an answering machine with the pause button being pressed.
In the next second, Killian's annoying voice sounded again:
"This is a game."
"Next, I will tell you where they are… But the point is, choose one of the two!"
After a pause, it seemed to leave Stark some time to think before Killian continued:
"Man, it's your turn to choose. Should you go to save the leader of the country or the hero to save the United States? Choose one!"
"No matter which one you choose, I will sit in the first row of the stage, carefully admiring the despair on your face…"
Before the voice was over, the phone suddenly hung up with a beep.
At the moment, Stark looked solemnly and couldn't help but looked down at the phone screen, only to find that the entire call time stopped at exactly four minutes and fifty seconds.
Obviously, Killian had expected that this phone call from him might be tracked. Therefore, he deliberately pinched the time and hung up the phone before being traced to the source of the signal.
This is an opponent with IQ, means and scheming!
However, such behavior, in Stark's eyes, is undoubtedly a naked provocation!
Anger returns to anger, but the situation is very unfavorable for them.
For Lyon, a traverser who is familiar with the plot, the news that Pepper and the president were kidnapped is not surprising.
What surprised him most was that Killian separated the two and asked Stark to choose one of the two!
This is kind of interesting…
You know, in the Marvel movies he has watched in his previous life, Killian was not so shrewd.
This trick is clearly a showdown by a guy in Gotham who does not abide by the rule and acts unpredictably.
Could it be that Killian is also a traversal, watched the Batman movie before crossing, and learned the essence of Joker? !
After thinking about it, Leon immediately rejected this hypothesis.
In fact, there are just a few villains that come and go.
After kidnapping people close to superhero, threatening them-this kind of trick is basically a standard feature for bad guys.
I definitely didn't rule out that Killian suddenly became acquainted and understood the high risk of putting all the eggs in the same basket, so I did it.
In any case, the opponent has already made a move.
Then, it depends on how they respond…
. . .
In order to confirm the reliability of the intelligence, Lyon first confirmed from Hill that the Air Force One was attacked by the Steel Patriots and the President was missing. Then based on the "rebellion" of the Iron Patriots, it was inferred that Colonel Rod also fell into the hands of the enemy.
After Leon announced the bad news one by one, everyone looked at Stark in unison.
Without any accident, Stark immediately made his choice-the president can be re-elected, but there is only one beloved!
"No matter what, I can't leave Pepper!"
Seeing Stark's unwavering face, everyone understood very well.
From the beginning, Stark had only one choice…
