Chapter 452 Kept in the Dark

Stark Tower, Council Chamber.

"We found it. The Hydra base headed by Strucker is in a rural area in Eastern Oskovia. There are unusual energy fluctuations there. Loki's scepter is probably there."

Banner sat in front of the computer, turned his chair and said to everyone.

"Then let's set off immediately. SHIELD has lost the Mind Scepter, and the Avengers have an obligation to get it back." Black Widow said.

"Would you like to say hello to Mr. Luo Ning?" Banner asked weakly.

Tony crossed his hands in front of him and said as he walked: "We can't let Ronin know. If he knows that Overwatch will definitely intervene, this is our own business. Besides, we can't rely on Overwatch for everything, just like Nick At first, I didn’t agree with it, but now I think his worries are completely justified. What if, what if Overwatch falls apart internally? Who will be able to resist another disaster?”

"S.H.I.E.L.D., which has been showing itself as a peaceful plane for so many years, can be destroyed in one day, and Overwatch, which was built in a hurry, is not impossible. Of course, I hope this will never be possible, but we must be prepared to face the worst outcome. Prepare, I think my worry is necessary, what do you think?”

"Tony is right. We need to unite as a team and develop a team chemistry like the Overwatch. In this way... even if the barrier of Overwatch is broken, we can quickly repair it and not It ends in losing everything.”

On this point, Captain Rogers and Tony's opinions were surprisingly consistent.

"The loss of the Mind Scepter is the responsibility of our Avengers. What is lost should be restored by ourselves. Relying on others will never grow into an eagle soaring in the sky." Hawkeye also agreed.

"Okay, let's hide it from him for now."

Banner pursed his lips and nodded heavily, and soon felt relieved. He was not doing anything bad. It was actually quite good to take back the Mind Scepter and give Mr. Luo Ning a surprise.

Although Mr. Luo Ning is very rich, his life is actually quite dull, so he should receive a surprise as a spice to his life.

"This is the second time we have assembled. Let's put our bad tempers behind us and don't embarrass the Avengers. Also, this mission can only succeed, not fail!"

Before leaving, Steve boosted morale. The opponent was Hydra and they had no reason to fail. If you can't even destroy a Hydra base, how can you protect the earth?

Overwatch base.

Luo Ning hides in his bedroom and transforms to play. The only fun thing about becoming a wrecking ball is that he can pinch his chubby face. The soft hair is also very comfortable to touch, but it soon becomes boring.

After changing back to his original state, the phone rang, and the caller ID turned out to be Hanzo Shimada.

Luo Ning was very surprised. The Shimada brothers had never contacted him. Usually when they didn't return to the base due to temporary matters, Dr. Banner would call him, but this time it was Hanzo who called him. It was really strange.

"Mr. Shimada, what's the matter?" Luo Ning asked.

"Sir, do you know where Bruce is?"

Luo Ning's heart skipped a beat. Hearing Hanzo's tone, Banner was missing?

"Dr. Banner? Isn't he always with you? A few days ago, he told me that the kendo gym will hold a competition. He will not go back to the base after cleaning up after the competition every day and rest in the kendo gym."

"He's right, but he told me the day before yesterday that he had to go out to do something, and it might take two days. But today is the third day and he hasn't come back yet, and he can't get through on the phone. I thought you gave him Arranged temporary tasks.”

"No, definitely not. I understand the situation. Don't worry, don't affect the normal operation of the kendo competition. Today should be the last day of the competition. It should end as perfectly as possible. I will send someone to find him now."

"OK."

Luo Ning hung up the phone and immediately dialed Banner's number. Sure enough, he couldn't get through.

After three consecutive attempts to no avail, he walked around the bedroom feeling restless.

Banner is an unstable bomb. If he causes trouble outside, it will break down. The worst result is that he will be used by people with ulterior motives, leading to even more irreparable consequences.

Luo Ning sat on the bed and exhaled softly, trying to relax as much as possible. He could not get into trouble when something happened, and carefully reasoned out several possibilities for Banner's disappearance.

Since it was Banner who took the initiative to go out for two days, it is obvious that if there are enemies, then these enemies clearly know Banner's weaknesses and know what he needs or desires.

Banner would not be stupid enough to throw himself into a trap. The enemy must have his handle or needs.

This possibility is actually quite high, and Luo Ning is thinking about other possibilities.

By the way, there is another possibility!

Suddenly, Luoning thought of something. According to the time development of the Marvel Universe, Age of Ultron will usher in after the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy plot.

If I remember correctly, the Avengers will gather together to destroy a major base of Hydra and regain the Mind Scepter.

With the Mind Scepter, Tony can create the real Ultron. The difficulty that has always troubled Tony, the Mind Scepter will solve for him.

Recently, Tony has never given up on the research and development of Ultron, but he has always been close to it. Because of that, he is stuck in place and cannot take a step further. This problem has always troubled him.

As soon as he thought of this, Ronin immediately called Tony, but with the same result, he still couldn't get through.

Then he called Captain Rogers again, but the same thing happened.

Now, Ronin was sure that Banner was called by the Avengers. It was very likely that the person who asked Banner to go was Black Widow. Banner had never liked other Avengers, but he trusted Natasha and had a special liking for her.

At this moment, perhaps they were on a mission, and their phones were usually turned off when they were on a mission. Whether Tony answered the phone or not depended entirely on his mood. Pepper might perfunctorily say a few words when she called, but others might just ignore it.

Especially now that Tony was hiding it from him, it was even more impossible for him to answer his call.

As for why he had to hide it, Ronin could think that Tony was a very competitive person, and almost all the Avengers were. They didn't play a big role in several disasters, and they had to rely on Overwatch to turn the tide. They felt bad and wanted to clear their names.

At the moment, taking back the Mind Scepter was an opportunity to prove the strength of the Avengers. SHIELD lost the Mind Scepter, so it was right for the Avengers to take it back.

Ronin felt that they were thinking this way. The Avengers had a strong sense of dignity. They didn't like to rely on others, and they were even more unwilling to admit that they were inferior to others.

But now, he couldn't do anything. He didn't know where the Hydra base was. He could only wait...
