Chapter 165 ‘The Mandarin’ appears

The White House, the Oval Office!

Previously, the Avengers dismantled S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, and members of the Senate, the military and even officials from various states were implicated to varying degrees.

Now the president is actively discussing with his team how to win these vacated seats for his party.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and buzzed. The Vice President who was standing aside took out his phone, looked at the phone number, his expression changed, he made an embarrassed gesture to the President and others present, and went straight outside to answer the phone.

"You shouldn't have called me at this time. I'm in a meeting with the President at the White House. Damn it, do you know how much risk I'm taking by answering your call?"

The Vice President walked to the door, away from the Secret Service bodyguards at the door, and then answered the phone and said nervously.

"Don't be nervous, my Mr. Vice President, don't forget our agreement. I have encountered a little trouble now. I hope you can help clean up some traces!"

The voice on the other side of the phone said calmly.

"What?"

the Vice President suddenly said loudly.

After finishing speaking, I realized that I had lost my composure. I quickly looked around, and when I saw that no one was paying attention, I lowered my voice and whispered.

"Damn it, you provoked the Avengers and captured Pepper Potts and that Natasha Romanoff. Do you know what the nickname of that damn Qin Xiao is here, madman? A lunatic who can take on an entire army by himself, whoever you mess with will end up in his head!"

The vice president wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took a few deep breaths before continuing.

"I regret trading with you now. Your approach will kill us all alive!"

"You think too highly of those clowns in fancy costumes? Avengers? They are nothing in my eyes. Besides, I arrest people all because of you. You know that our products are not stable enough and the success rate is too low. What better material to experiment with than a Red Room-trained Avenger?"

"What's more, we still have Pepper Potts in our hands. At critical moments, we also have a genius scientist who can be used by us at any time. If I inject Pepper with the terminal virus, then Tony Stark will have to take action. Help us solve that damn runaway heat problem."

"My dear Vice President, you don't want your little princess to suddenly explode while playing with the puppy in the garden after getting a pair of healthy legs, right?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for this critical moment, I would have waited for those clowns to come and find us!"

At the mention of his daughter, the vice president became silent.

The other party was not in a hurry, just waiting for him to speak.

After half a minute passed, the vice president carefully asked what happened and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the vice president made two more calls, then straightened his clothes and expression, and stepped into the Oval Office again.

…

"We took the Huaxia Grand Theater as the center and directly investigated all the surveillance equipment on more than 30 surrounding streets. But what is interesting is that regarding the surveillance content within one hour after today's explosion, nearly half of the surveillance room equipment was in this The time period is blank!”

"I don't believe there can be such a coincidence. The only explanation is that someone wiped out all traces and didn't want us to find them!"

"Also, bosses, I need the 'widows' to share intelligence and have certain command rights. I should always keep an eye on every move outside and try to discover the traces of Natasha and Miss Potts as early as possible."

Agent Hill, who was pulled over by Hawkeye, simply joined the Avengers directly at Hawkeye's suggestion and automatically took on the intelligence work.

"Although there is no news about them yet, there is good news!"

Agent Hill said as he pulled out a tablet and played a video.

The video shows a Middle Eastern man with a long beard who looks Muslim at first glance, claiming responsibility for the bombing of the Huaxia Grand Theater.

The editing of the video is very confusing. There are scenes of him praying for some Islamic children, and there are scenes of him shooting a rifle directly through the photo of the President of the United States.

At the end of the picture, there is a close-up of the man, who speaks provocatively to the camera.

"Qin Xiao, Tony Stark, Avengers, superheroes, you claim to have saved the world. This time... see if you two can save your beloved woman!"

"Damn bastard!"

Tony punched the table and then looked at Qin Xiao.

"Don't look at me, the picture is too messy, and there is no specific address, otherwise I would have opened a wormhole to get there!"

Qin Xiao's face was full of displeasure. He was telling the truth. Although he knew it was Killian's fault from the beginning, he didn't know his specific location at all.

Just when Qin Xiao and a group of others were helpless in the sky base, the hospital called and found that Happy woke up. Although he was seriously injured, he was finally out of danger.

Tony immediately took Qin Xiao to the hospital.

There were a large number of reporters surrounding the entrance of the hospital. Qin Xiao and Tony were surrounded by dense reporters almost as soon as they appeared.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Stark, do you have anything to say about this terrorist attack on the Mandarin? Are you confident that you can save your girlfriend?"

"The Mandarin has announced several explosions before. Will the Avengers launch a full-scale war against him?"

"If they use hostages to force you to kill some innocent people or plan some terrorist incidents, will you compromise?"

Countless microphones were almost inserted into their mouths.

Just as Tony was about to have a fit, Qin Xiao snatched the microphone extended by an unknown reporter and crushed it to pieces in front of everyone.

"I'm in a very bad mood right now, very bad. I really don't know if I will compromise, but I know that if I lose control because of my anger and accidentally kill a few reporters, will you, the police station, Wanted me?"

Qin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and the reporters around him took several steps back.

"We will definitely rescue him. I want to warn the terrorists who did this. You are a group of cowards, trash, and cowards who only know how to capture women. If you want to challenge the majesty of the Avengers, come directly to our base. I Waiting for you right here!”

Qin Xiao waved his hand towards the sky, and a huge wormhole appeared in mid-air. The sky base went directly from New York to Los Angeles, suspended less than a kilometer in the sky.

Sky Base can be seen from all over Los Angeles.

"Do you know what's the difference between us? We are tigers. The whole world can see where we are, but no one dares to challenge us head on. You are just a group of mice hiding in the shadows, and you don't even have the courage to show your face!"
