Chapter 251 News

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

In the conference room, the secretary looked at Victor, who was always standing with his back to him, with an expression of obvious fear on his face.

The large number of missing persons on the board of directors caused a lot of discussion among the employees within the company. As the secretary who had the most contact with Victor, he actually had some vague speculations in his mind.

However, when he thought of such a possibility, the secretary did not dare to think further.

"who is it?"

Victor's cold voice sounded in the conference room.

"He called himself Straker and expressed that he was very interested in the meteorite you brought back during your previous space experiment."

"..."

The secretary's words made Victor silent for a moment, and then he replied.

"Tell him I'll be right away."

As he spoke, Victor slowly turned his body, reached out and picked up a silver-white steel mask from the table in the conference room and put it on his head.

…

"...I'm sorry, Aunt May, because we encountered some problems, so the application for the fund project took longer than expected... No, Aunt May, I was not deceived. In fact, Mr. Stark He was there for me to really help me figure it out..."

"Yes, ma'am."

Taking over the phone while Peter was in a hurry, Tony looked at the Foundation containment expert who was leading the way and said with his eyes open, "It's a systemic problem. There was a small error in the information filled in by Mr. Parker. It's not troublesome for us to really help him correct it, it just takes a little time. In fact, the Stark Foundation, no, the Jackie Chan Foundation is quite optimistic about Mr. Parker. He is a good boy and just fits our foundation. requirements.”

Pouring his lips, the Evil Spider-Man looked at the scene in front of him and said in a somewhat disdainful tone: "This is how you came out, lying like a child, and you still need to call to report your situation?"

"That's because Aunt May cares about us."

Faced with the ridicule of the evil Spider-Man, the kind-hearted Peter did not fight back, but nodded and said: "In fact, we are just children. During your time outside, you have missed a lot of homework, including Mary. As assigned by the teacher..."

"Hey, don't think of me as you. I'm not that stupid nerd. Homework or anything like that has nothing to do with me."

Brutally interrupting the good Peter's words, the evil Spider-Man shouted with the expression of a naughty kid who didn't do his homework.

Homework or something like that is completely incompatible with his evil Spider-Man who aspires to become a villain.

"You're right, homework and stuff are things only fools need."

After hanging up the phone, Tony heard the words of the evil Spider-Man and uncharacteristically expressed his agreement.

"However, it should be very necessary for you."

However, before the evil Spider-Man on the opposite side could react, the second sentence from Tony's mouth had already popped out: "After all, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like you are smart."

"Tony Stark, you are as annoying as the rumors say."

"Call me Mr. Stark, you see, I've reminded you so many times, but you still can't call me by the right name."

Shrugging, Tony looked at the evil Spider-Man in front of him and said in a helpless tone.

It's obvious that Tony has never been weaker than anyone when it comes to irritating people.

…

"Herr Victor von Doom?"

The bald man wearing single-sided glasses looked at Victor with a completely different image in front of him, with a look of confusion on his face. However, he quickly calmed down the doubtful look on his face, stepped forward and shook Victor's hand, feeling the hard and cold feeling from the other's palm, and said immediately.

"You look very different from the rumors."

After hesitatingly shaking hands with the man opposite him, Victor retracted his palm, and a cold smile appeared on his face under the mask: "Actually,

I am planning to change my image. "

"That's really a huge change."

Victor's appearance has not only changed, he has become a complete villain.

However, facing Victor, whose temperament had obviously changed drastically, the bald man unexpectedly did not show much fear on his face.

"So, Mr. Strack, can you tell me why you are suddenly interested in the meteorites I brought from outer space?"

Seeing the man's reaction, several thoughts flashed through Victor's mind, but on the surface he still asked calmly: "Actually, I didn't pay much attention to the news about meteorites at first, but with the news some time ago, Reports about the Fantastic Four appeared. According to them, it was precisely because they were exposed to the radiation of the space storm that they developed their magical extraordinary abilities. Although the Fantastic Four themselves believed that this ability was a disease, we I don’t think so. I think this is a great gift. In order to study this mutation, I also arranged for someone to contact Reed, the captain of the Fantastic Four, but unfortunately, they refused my contact. Attitude."

"Fantastic Four!"

Hearing Strucker read the names of the Fantastic Four and Reed, a cold look flashed in Victor's eyes, and several weak electric currents flashed in his hands.

Although the flash of electricity was hidden, it was still noticed by Straker.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he covered it up and continued: "Later, through various channels, I learned that Mr. Victor, you were also in the space station at the time, and received information from space. I have obtained a meteorite that has been radiated by space cosmic storms. If possible, I hope you can sell this meteorite to us to help me with my research on space cosmic storms."

Put it before, if anyone is willing to buy the meteorite.

Of course Victor was totally willing, but as time passed and now he had mastered extraordinary power, especially after learning the reason why Struck valued this meteorite, Victor began to feel a little better. idea.

So he shook his head and flatly rejected Strucker's proposal.

"Sorry, Mr. Strack, I have my own ideas about this meteorite."

"Really, that's a shame."

Hearing Victor's answer, Straker's eyes wearing single-sided glasses glanced at the meteorites aside. A light flashed in his eyes but was immediately covered up.

"It failed. The other party rejected my offer to buy meteorites."

Coming out of Victor's company, Strack made a phone call.

"Do you need me to send someone from SHIELD to handle it?"

A steady voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

"No."

The suggestion on the phone made Strack's eyes flicker for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He recalled the abnormality on Victor in the previous conversation, and cautiously replied: "It seems that this person is also related to The Fantastic Four in previous reports also suffered from the radiation of the cosmic storm, and their bodies mutated. If we take action rashly, it is likely to cause problems, and it is not yet time for us to be exposed."

"The experiment?"

"Although I didn't get the meteorite, the data from Loki's scepter you sent can also help me carry out the next experiment. If possible, I hope to actually come into contact with the power of the scepter."

"I understand. I will find time to arrange the scepter. Long live Hydra!"

"Long live Hydra!"

…

"It should be right here."

Taking the lead, the clone [Uncle Long] looked down at the direction pointed by the compass in his hand, with a determined expression on his face.

"The Phantom Thief should be hiding here."

"Mr. Long, are you sure that the contained object in your hand is not pointed in the wrong direction."

Looking up and looking at the building in front of him, Tony asked with an uncertain expression on his face.

No matter how you look at the place in front of you, it doesn't look like a place where Kaitou Kidd would be.

"The effect of the contained object is absolutely unmistakable."

Facing Tony's doubts, the clone answered with a positive look. This was not only because of the compass in his hand, but also because of the news coming from the main body.

"Okay, since Mr. Long, you insist."

In any case, the previous clone [Uncle Long] had already relied on the compass in his hand to help guide them to find the evil Spider-Man. Therefore, although the direction in front of them was somewhat unreliable, after some hesitation, Tony still Choose to believe in the effectiveness of the containment items in the hands of this Foundation containment expert.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Kidd, the phantom thief who gave the entire New York police a headache, would actually be hiding in a nursing home."

That's right, the place the compass led everyone to was a nursing home located in a remote suburb of New York.

"Perhaps, the reason why Phantom Thieves are called Phantom Thieves is because they use this reverse thinking method."

Through Tony's relationship, the group easily entered the nursing home.

Looking at the compass in their hands, the clones walked around the nursing home, and finally came to a stop in front of an old white man sitting in a wheelchair, with gray hair, age spots on his face, and dementia, and there was drool at the corner of his mouth. pace.

"Is this Kaitou Kidd?!"

[From the legend of Tony Stark...]

[From the legend of Peter Parker, the good Spider-Man...]

[From the evil Spider-Man Peter Parker...]

Seeing the noise from the wheelchair, Tony subconsciously raised his voice.

"Mr. Long, it seems that your compass is indeed pointing in the wrong direction."

"No, don't forget, the Phantom Thief has a strong ability to disguise himself. Maybe the old man in front of him is the Phantom Thief." Shaking his head, the clone still insisted.

"Does the disguise need to be so realistic that it even leaves saliva?"

Tony raised his eyebrows and looked at the trace of drool left from the corner of the old white man's mouth, Tony said with a strange expression.

"...This is how realistic it is."

Seeing this scene, even the expression on the clone's face that was originally insisting became shaken. He scratched his hair with a puzzled look on his face: "It shouldn't be. The direction pointed by the compass has never been wrong. Why did it happen this time..."

"Mr. Dragon, Mr. Stark!"

Here, the clone and Tony started to argue with each other because of the unexpected development. On the other side, the good Spider-Man suddenly got excited under the reminder of the spider sense in his body. He looked at each other and the evil Spider-Man beside him, and hurriedly He shouted.

At the reminder of Spider-Man, Tony and his clone [Uncle Long] subconsciously turned to look at the old white man in the wheelchair.

While watching, the old man who was still motionless in the wheelchair suddenly sat up as if a switch had been turned on. He first took out an old-fashioned cassette radio from his pocket with quick hands and feet, and then, in the eyes of everyone, reached out and pressed Pressed the start button on the radio.

Along with the sound of the tape spinning, a clear and magnetic voice sounded from the radio.

"When you hear the sound of this tape, it means that you should have found the nursing home and found the clues I left..."

"Kaitou Kidd!"

[From the legend of Tony Stark...]

[From the legend of Peter Parker, the good Spider-Man...]

[From the evil Spider-Man Peter Parker...]

The sound coming from the tape made Tony and the others' expressions change. It was obvious that judging from the tone of the tape, this guy should be the Kaitou Kidd they had been searching for.

"Congratulations to both of you, you did a good job. At least you didn't look in the wrong direction. As a reward, I have left the other half of the talisman..."

As the voice from the tape came, the old white man reached out in cooperation and took out the remaining half of the [Tiger Talisman] from his pocket and spread it on his hand.

"Charm!"

The two Spider-Men exclaimed because of the spell, and Tony turned his attention to the old white man in front of him. After observing, he had noticed the small antenna-like thing placed on the old man's head. If his guess was not If it's wrong, it should be this thing controlling the other party to make various actions.

"...But thinking about it, if you can find clues, you should have been in contact with people from the Foundation. They should have also told you a lot of warnings about the dangers of the contained object Barabara...I can be accurate here. Let me tell you, what these people in the Foundation said are all true. Contained objects are indeed quite dangerous items, and a slight carelessness will lead to huge disasters, so every contained object must be treated with caution. "

"..."

In the nursing home, Tony and the others looked at the ending sound of the tape, feeling somewhat powerless in their hearts.

The contents of the tape left behind by Kaito Kiddo left them a bit baffled. If the ending was based on the situation before them, the Kaito thief who originally caused all kinds of problems would suddenly turn into a good guy who ended up with the end.

However, while several people were looking at each other in confusion, the old white man in the wheelchair once again flipped the tape in his hand and turned it around.

Immediately afterwards, the Phantom Thief's voice sounded again in the tape recorder.

"...By the way, I almost forgot. The reason why the guys from the Foundation used the spell to find you here is to remind you about the Stone Ghost Face. I was completely deceived by that guy. The owner of the Stone Ghost Face is better than me. It's even more evil than you imagine, so be careful..."
