Chapter 315 Coulson: Thank You, I Am Offended

Looking at Jing Xin Youliang who was still transformed into a statue in the car, Jin Xiang, who was "late to arriving", turned his attention to the very familiar metal object in the statue's hand.

"Is this a side effect of the obelisk?"

Through tonight's auction, Kingpin finally learned something about the true purpose of the obelisk.

He originally thought about getting a piece in the future for emergencies, but now he has completely given up the idea.

"Well, although this thing can indeed give humans super powers as the auctioneer said, its success rate is pitifully low, and if it fails, he will end up like this."

Just in case, Leni didn't directly open the car door and take away the vibranium and obelisk. After all, she couldn't guarantee that she had fully absorbed this thing.

If there were any remnants of this thing, or aftermath, wouldn't I be wasting a World Instrument?

So Leni waited outside the car for a while, and when Kingpin arrived, she took out a pair of special gloves from the space and handed them to Kingpin aside.

"Take it and get the obelisk out."

Kingpin was stunned, for a moment he didn't expect that Leni would instruct him to do such a thing.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up! Don't worry, as long as the obelisk is not touched directly, its petrification effect will not be triggered."

Leni frowned and urged, then she reached into the void again and took out a suitcase that had been prepared in advance.

Kingpin looked at the gloves, then at the obelisk, and finally his eyes rested for a moment on Skye and Mester on the other side of the car.

"Uh...don't look at us, come on, come on..."

While talking, Skye and the two of them even ducked back. Looking at them like that made the muscles in the corners of Jinbi's eyes twitch.

At this moment, Jin Ping extremely regretted that he had not brought one of his men over. Otherwise, how could it be his turn to do such a dangerous job?

After hesitating for a moment, Kingpin still reached out and put on the special gloves on his hands, and slowly took the obelisk out of the hand of Jingxin Yuliang, who had turned into a sculpture.

"Be careful, don't activate it. I don't want to look like him."

Leni said she was disgusted, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, this thing was relatively stable and did not have any special reaction of suddenly exploding.

It wasn't until Kingpin carefully put the obelisk into his suitcase that the people present finally put their hearts back into their stomachs.

Leni slammed the lid of the suitcase shut and threw the whole thing into the Void Warehouse.

After patting the non-existent dust on her hands, Leni turned to look at Kingpin beside her.

"You can deal with this sculpture, as well as these two guys on the ground. The driver is probably useless, but this bodyguard, you should be able to knock out a lot of useful things from his mouth."

"Well, although it's a pity, it's okay to die. I'll have him sink into the sea later."

Kingpin's expression remained unchanged as he took off the special gloves and planned to return them to Leni.

"Keep it for yourself. I'm not interested in things worn by men. Remember to destroy them."

Leni made a joke, then bent down and got into the car to get another sealed glass jar. Inside was the piece of vibranium that sold for 30 million US dollars.

"Thank you for what happened today. If you have something similar next time, remember to contact me. Bye!"

After getting what they wanted, Leni and the others no longer had the need to stay here. They turned around and waved to Kingpin behind them, and Leni and Skye returned to the car.

Kingpin looked at Leni's leaving back, wondering what he was thinking.

It wasn't until he saw the Porsche Panamera completely disappearing from sight that Kingpin took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and stared silently at the lifeless Jingxin Yuliang in the car.

…

Leni didn't pay much attention to what happened after that. She just learned from the subsequent news from Kingpin that an accident did occur at the New York City port that night. Several cars were involved in the accident, and the number of casualties was unknown.

Leni frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking that it should be the noise caused by Okoye and the others, but she didn't know whether Ulysses Crow was arrested by her.

Not surprisingly, the Hand had a big conflict with Kingpin, but to Leni's surprise, Kingpin did not sink Yuliang Jingxin, who had turned into a statue, into the sea as he said. So grandly, the statue was placed at the door of the Hand's house overnight.

"Because compared to letting him disappear directly, he turned into a sculpture is obviously more useful to me."

Kingpin's explanation left Leni a little confused, but she didn't think much about it.

Anyway, in this huge Marvel universe, Kingpin is just a group of gangsters no matter how hard he tries. He can't make a big difference. Is it possible that he can make a big splash like "Spider-Man: Into the Parallel Universe"? Can't?

Therefore, Leni didn't pay much attention to this matter afterwards. After making sure that the follow-up Kingpin was taken care of, she took Skye and Aunt May's family to say goodbye and drove back to SHIELD headquarters.

…

"What?! You spent Christmas with Leni and her family?"

Upon returning to the investigation team's lounge, Skye, who "accidentally" leaked the information, was immediately verbally criticized by Simmons.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it~ You also know my situation. I have nowhere to go anyway, so I simply accepted Leni's invitation. As for Meister..."

Simmons, who was questioning her husband like he had caught him cheating, asked Skye to raise his hands in surrender, but there was no embarrassment on his face.

"I just don't want to have a good Christmas, but end up spending it with Coulson in the bureau working overtime..."

Meister made herself a cup of hot cocoa, and then shook the cup in her hand at Simmons as if asking.

However, before Simmons could answer, Skye, who was coerced by her, responded first.

"I want it too!"

Simmons made way for Skye to enter the lounge because the two people's reasons were reasonable.

"Ahem! I feel offended, and I wasn't actually in the bureau on Christmas."

Colson, who rarely came to the rest room of the investigation team, felt that he was offended. He was still quite young, and although his hairline was getting higher and higher, his temperament was still strong. Audrey liked it very much.

"The cellist?"

The fact that Coulson has a girlfriend is not big news to the investigation team, after all, they often hear him mention it when they chat.

"Um, I went to see her performance and invited her to have a candlelight dinner."

Laini looked Coulson up and down, and then asked sincerely:

"You haven't told her that you are an agent? Or don't you consider including her in the protection list of SHIELD?"

In response, Coulson shook his head. As a SHIELD agent, he might be sacrificed at any time due to an accident in a certain mission. If he told the other party, it might make the other party feel overwhelmed.

Laini shrugged and didn't ask any more questions, just silently tasting her hot coffee.

"And by the way, didn't you two ask for leave first? It was you who forgot your friends first..."

Taking the hot cocoa handed by Meister, Skye turned his head and looked at Simmons and Fitz teasingly as if he suddenly remembered it.

Seeing this, Simmons blushed immediately, and quickly turned sideways to avoid Skye's sight, then embarrassedly took the hot cocoa that Mester had brewed, and sat back in her seat as if escaping.

"Ahem! We were...we just happened to be on the way, so we went back together first..."

In order to ease Simmons' embarrassment, Fitz took the initiative to make up a lame excuse to cover it up.

"Oh~ just happened to be on the way~"

With a red face, Simmons wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but there was no crack in the lounge for her to crawl into.

She could only turn her shame into an attack, and used her elbow to hit Fitz who was talking too much beside her.

"Ah! Why are you arguing with me?"

"Shut up!"
