Chapter 350: When Two Countries Go to War, They Don’t Kill the Envoys.
Standing in front of the huge glass curtain wall, Loki looked at the two steel armors in the sky that were constantly shooting down the Chitauri army, and a solemn look flashed on his confident face.
But after seeing Tony Stark gradually showing signs of fatigue as time went by, the sarcastic sneer appeared on his face again.
"Haha, just a few dozen soldiers have already made you exhausted. What are you going to do to defeat me? In the end, it's just a small insect shaking a big tree~"
Ding~
A clear ringing sound came from the elevator door behind him, and Loki subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
"Who is the worm and who is the tree? Are you so confident that you can defeat us?"
As the elevator door slowly opened, a very familiar voice reached Loki's ears.
"Lenny Stark? How could you..."
Before he could finish his words, Leni, with her dazzling blond hair tied up, strode into the luxurious living room that Tony used exclusively for entertaining guests.
"Look, there are still times you don't expect."
Facing this woman who had given him "heavy wounds" several times, Loki subconsciously clenched the scepter in his hand.
After several previous games, Loki was certain that his deception method was ineffective against the woman in front of him. The usual tricks used on his brainless brother obviously could not deceive this woman, so he had to act cautiously.
Noticing Loki's movements, Leni's lips immediately turned into a beautiful smile.
Leni guessed correctly. This guy didn't expect that he could come back so quickly. He didn't even expect that she would stand in front of him so simply, let alone set any traps in advance to lure her into the trap.
"Relax, I'm not going to kill you directly yet, I'm just a little tired and came here to have something to drink."
Waving her hand to indicate that she was not equipped with the hand cannon that had been used to bombard the opponent several times before, Leni deliberately kept a relatively safe distance from Loki, and then skillfully walked behind the bar in the corner of the hall.
"Are you stalling for time?"
Seeing Leni's hands leave his sight, Loki nervously took half a step back, and the scepter in his hand shook unconsciously.
"No, I actually want to negotiate a condition with you."
Using the cover of the bar, Leni casually threw the two metal bracelets placed on the bar into the warehouse.
This is the remote control positioning device of the Mark 7. In order to achieve portable wear, Tony integrated the positioning device into the bracelet. When an accident occurs and the steel suit needs to be quickly put on, the bracelet will send the positioning model to the Mark 7 for convenience. Mark 7 arrived at Tony's location in time.
"Conditions? What conditions can we negotiate?"
Loki frowned. He didn't feel the need to negotiate terms with the woman in front of him. As long as the Chitauri army came to invade the country, he could just wait for the Chitauri to gift the earth to him. He will be the complete new king of this world.
"You can't say that. What you are relying on is just a group of alien invaders. Even if they have thousands of troops, the portal above is so big. How many troops can really arrive at the same time? What's more? "You really think we can't close it?"
Leni chuckled and talked. At the same time, she took a bottle of commonly used gin and a bottle of absinthe from the wine cabinet on the side. She took out a portion of each and briefly mixed it, then poured them into the wine cabinet. Three martini glasses, and finally add ice cubes, olives and lemon slices for garnish, and three classic martini glasses are ready.
Loki stared at Leni's movements without saying a word. After making sure that Leni didn't make any unnecessary movements, he lowered his guard slightly.
"Based on your superficial understanding of the Cosmic Cube, it's probably a daydream to close it."
Leni shrugged upon hearing this, noncommittal.
"Then you should just wait and see. Humans are never the ants you call mermaids."
Holding a glass of martini, Leni walked out of the bar, then kept a distance from Rocky, and also stood by the glass curtain wall, overlooking New York City below.
"Wouldn't you like a drink?"
Seeing that this guy was still afraid of her, Leni raised the corners of her mouth slightly and stretched out her hand to indicate that if he wanted to drink, he could go to the bar to get it.
When Loki heard this, he glanced at the wine in Leni's hand, and then at the bar not far away. He hesitated for a moment but finally made no move.
He was not sure whether Leni had poisoned the wine just now. According to the information provided by Hawkeye Agent Clint earlier, the woman in front of him could hide items at will. If she had just put some kind of poison in the wine while he was not paying attention, , Aren’t you capsized in the gutter?
Leni just chuckled casually, and then took a sip of the wine in her hand.
"If it were Sol or Volstagg, they wouldn't refuse the invitation from the wine."
Hearing these two names that disgusted him, Loki frowned slightly. He couldn't understand the thoughts of the woman in front of him.
"Humph, they're just two idiots with muscles that extend to their brains."
Hearing this, Leni didn't answer, she just looked at the tarmac outside the building.
There was a black raven there right now, tilting its head and staring at Leni unblinkingly.
To be precise, he should be staring at Loki, and then staring at Leni.
…
"Sir, Miss Leni has returned to the building and is currently negotiating with Loki."
Seeing the damage on the screen getting worse, Tony was about to ask Rody to hold him up for a while, but suddenly Jarvis's prompt sound came to his ear.
"What?"
Looking at the video image popping up on the screen, Tony once again knew what Lainie was doing at this time.
Unexpectedly, Lainie had returned upstairs and had a face-to-face private chat with Loki in such a short time!
And she was alone!
Recalling Loki's strange ability, Tony couldn't help but be shocked, and then he turned around and flew straight to his building without caring about the fierce battle in the sky.
"Roddy! Lainie is in danger, you hold her up first!"
Roddy, who was high in the sky, heard this and immediately felt the pressure of blocking on his side increased greatly.
"What? Are you kidding?!"
Although the war machine had sufficient ammunition reserves, after such a long period of blocking, the ammunition was almost exhausted. He didn't even ask Tony to hold up and go back for supplies, but he didn't expect this guy to leave him first and run away.
Ignoring Roddy's complaints, Tony, who was descending at a very fast speed, landed directly on the armor landing pad he had specially set up.
Through the huge glass window, Tony saw Leni and Loki who were also looking at him by the window.
Looking at the two people's appearance at this time, Tony couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
As Tony stepped into the building step by step, the mechanical arms beside him began to operate one after another, and disassembled and recycled the Mark 6 armor on Tony one by one, until all the armor parts were collected.
"...I don't know what it means!"
When Tony completely stepped into the hall, he heard Loki scold Leni in a cold voice.
Although I don't know what the two talked about before, it seems that the two broke down.
"Believe it or not, you will know it when the time comes."
Leni shrugged and ignored Loki's attitude, and walked towards Tony who returned to the building again.
"This guy is stubborn. It seems we have to teach him a lesson for Odin."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Loki instantly became like a cat with its fur blown up. He stood up straight and raised his hand to use his scepter to hit Leni.
"Hey! When two countries are at war, they don't kill envoys! As a noble prince of Asgard, you don't even know this rule? You haven't even finished the wine, and you want to turn against me?"
Seeing that this guy was about to overturn the table, Leni couldn't let him do what he wanted, so she quickly spoke to appease this obedient donkey.
Loki hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally put down the scepter unwillingly.
This woman is right. He is a noble Asgardian and cannot be looked down upon by a mere ant on such a small matter.
"Humph, lingering on!"
Seeing this scene, Tony's heart was slightly relieved.
The Lainie in front of him should not be the one that Loki used his power to transform. From the way that guy gnashed his teeth, it was clear that Lainie had definitely not let this guy get the upper hand verbally.
"It seems that you guys are chatting quite harmoniously. What are you drinking? Do you have any for me?"
Tony wanted to go to the bar because his Mark 7 bracelet was placed there.
Seeing the other party's intention, Lainie pointed to the bar calmly. On the surface, it meant that she had prepared drinks for Tony, but secretly, she took out the pair of bracelets from the void while Loki was not looking.
"Yes, I also prepared a glass for someone, but it's a pity that someone was so petty that he thought I would poison the wine and didn't dare to drink it~"
"Who said I didn't dare! I just look down on your inferior drinks, which are far inferior to the fine wines of Asgard!"
"Ah, yes, yes, you are right~"
