Chapter 361 My Name is Franklin

Inside the Illuminati's meeting room, the atmosphere was so heavy that even the air seemed to have frozen.

There was a complex light flashing in the eyes of every member, showing both vigilance against unknown threats and curiosity about the identity of the mysterious man in black robe who suddenly appeared.

The man in black robe stood quietly in the middle of the room, with the brim of his hat hanging down, covering his face and leaving only a deep outline, which made him look even more mysterious under the dim light.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window forming a sharp contrast with the tense nerves in the room.

At this moment, Human Torch's iconic, slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded, like a spring breeze, trying to blow away the depressing atmosphere.

"Oh, guys, should we really find a Feng Shui master to take a look at this place? Why do we always have 'uninvited guests' at every meeting? This is the so-called most mysterious intelligence agency, I think it's about to become a sieve."

As he spoke, he shook his head exaggeratedly, trying to ease the tension with a relaxed tone, but his bright eyes flashed with a seriousness that could not be ignored.

What the Human Torch said was true. Their SHIELD, which is known as the most secretive agency in the world, has been hacked three or four times. It's really embarrassing.

Other members of the Illuminati, such as Black Panther and Black Bolt, did not react too much, after all, it was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

But this is not the first time for Reed and Susan. Looking back to when they first joined the Illuminati, they were just inconspicuous characters in the Avengers, but now they have grown into leaders who can stand on their own.

As the president of the Illuminati, Reed was well aware of the importance of this responsibility. He secretly clenched his fists, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Reed was very angry at this moment, but he did not order anyone to take action immediately, because experience told him that every time the enemy broke in, they were often stronger than him. There was no way, this conference room had been renovated twice, which made Reed very vigilant.

At the same time, Reed was also very aggrieved. The Illuminati headquarters was actually invaded by someone, and the invasion was carried out in a strange way. Could this person be Chen Ye? After all, only Chen Ye and his gang had such ability.

"Damn Chen Ye, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you saved the world! My strength is not enough, I need to continue to improve!" Reed attributed all the faults to Chen Ye.

"I'll use my strength to test this guy. If he's weak, I'll take him down directly. If he's strong, I'll try my best to appease him and send him away." Reed figured slowly in his mind.

What Reed didn't know was that all his thoughts were clearly seen through by the mysterious man in black robe opposite him. The mysterious man in black robe curled his lips.

"What a cowardly man. If it weren't for my mother, I really don't want to see this scumbag. I don't know why my mother fell in love with this scumbag in the first place. He deserves to die at the hands of the people in Hell's Kitchen in the future.

Forget it, I'll help since I'm back once. I'd better get things done quickly. Hell's Kitchen has already noticed that I'm interfering and losing control. I'm afraid my mother will scold me again when I go back." The man in black robe stared at Susan intently.

"I have no ill intentions. I am here to help you." The mysterious man in black robe spoke in an electronic synthesized voice that was obviously disguised.

The members of the Illuminati looked at each other, and doubts filled their hearts like a fog. There were many well-informed people among them, but they had never seen such a strange visitor who claimed to have no bad intentions.

After all, Reed was the president of the Illuminati and he was the first to break the silent deadlock: "Sir, the way you appear really makes it hard to believe that you are here to help us. May I ask, how do you plan to help us? Can you reveal your true identity?" There was both inquiry and a hint of cautious temptation in his tone.

However, the mysterious man in black robe did not seem to be in a hurry to answer. His figure turned slightly and floated in front of Susan like a gust of wind.

Upon seeing this, Thunderbolt's heart went into alarm and he immediately stepped forward, wanting to protect his sister, fearing that this sudden visitor might do something bad to her.

But Susan, with an almost intuitive sensitivity, felt that the man in black robe did not have a threatening aura, but rather a warm aura, like meeting an old friend after a long separation.

She gently pressed Thunderbolt's shoulder, signaling him to be patient, while she curiously watched every move of the man in black.

The man in black robe slowly stretched out his hand, and in his palm, two dazzling gems sparkled in the faint light.

One emits a faint red color, as if it can reflect the essence of all things in the world; the other is orange, as if it can swallow up the secrets of all souls.

He gently placed the two gems in Susan's hands, and the action was so gentle that it seemed to convey some sacred mission.

If Chen Ye were here, he would definitely recognize that these two gems were the two gems that were stolen from Chen Ye by others.

"These two gems are among the most powerful in the universe - the Reality Gem and the Soul Gem." The voice of the mysterious black-robed man echoed in the empty hall, with an indescribable solemnity and sacredness, "They have the power to rewrite reality and manipulate souls.

As for the specific abilities, you need to figure them out by yourself. As long as you use these two gems, you will be one of the most powerful beings in the universe."

The mysterious man in black felt that what he said was right. Possessing the power of the Infinity Stones could indeed make one one of the best in the universe. Of course, the premise was that he didn't encounter a multiverse-level existence like him.

After hearing the description of the mysterious man in black robe, the Illuminati's Black Bolt, Black Panther and Prince Namor from Atlantis began to breathe faster.

As leaders of a major force, these three people had of course heard of the legend of the Infinity Stones, but this was the first time they had seen them in reality.

Although the smart Reed had never heard of it, he understood the preciousness of this thing after seeing the expressions of his other allies, and his eyes were full of greed.

The mysterious black-robed man said to Susan, "These two gems are given to you. Strictly speaking, one person can only use one gem. You can't bear the power of two gems. This reality gem is more suitable for you. You can give the other soul gem to whoever you want."

After saying this, the mysterious man in black robe turned around and wanted to leave. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would be exposed.

Everyone else was looking at the two Infinity Stones, not considering whether this was a trap. Even Reed, who was always smart, was deeply attracted by the two gems.

Susan stared at the two gems that were emitting alluring light, but her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness.

When the black-robed man was about to disappear in the light of the portal, she summoned up her courage and asked loudly: "What is your purpose? Who are you? Why do you give me such a heavy responsibility?"

The figure of the man in black robes gradually walked away in the portal, leaving only a distant and mysterious voice echoing in the air:

"My name is Franklin!"
