When the strange hooded man came to Anthony's laboratory again in the evening, as Anthony's guardian, Peter Parker also appeared in Anthony's laboratory.
For this, Li Jie had already expected it. After all, the Iron Man of this world is not the wily Tony Stark of his own world, but a young man with some stubbornness or paranoia, and he does not have absolute confidence in certain things. Especially when this matter involved his father, Anthony had a lot of things to worry about.
This led Anthony to find Peter Parker to advise him, and even to bring him directly to the laboratory to wait for him to appear. This was not beyond Li Jie's expectations.
However, it was one thing to guess it, but it was another thing to put on an act. Just like now.
When Li Jie appeared in the laboratory again in the form of a hooded man, he looked at Anthony and Peter Parker beside him and deliberately said in a displeased tone, "Mr. Anthony Stark, I don't think I asked you to invite Mr. Peter Parker to participate in this matter. This is just a private matter left by your father."
Anthony was a little more courageous because he had Peter Parker by his side today. He shrugged and quibbled, "But you didn't say that I couldn't bring anyone, Mr. Hood. And from the legal definition, Uncle Parker is still my guardian at least for the time being. This legal document was signed by my father, and it will not expire until next year. So it doesn't matter to me if he participates in this matter. "
"My father's legacy, I think he has the right to know." Anthony looked as if what he said was very reasonable.
But Li Jie deliberately said, "Let's be clear, Mr. Anthony Edward Stark, we are not talking about how much legacy your father left for you in this world, but a more serious matter!"
Li Jie's tone was very serious. Coupled with the fact that he had just used a cloaking device, the mysteriousness of his sudden appearance made Peter Parker secretly apprehensive. But now Peter was almost more and more certain that Howard might have joined a mysterious organization that Peter did not know about in the days after the war.
This was because Li Jie had purposely revealed some of his energy aura. For Peter Parker, who had Spider Sense, this kind of exposed energy almost caused him to explode. Because even the slightest reaction made him feel how dangerous the hooded man in front of him was.
Peter believed that if the hooded man wanted to, he could easily kill himself and Anthony and destroy the entire Stark villa. Of course, in fact, Li Jie did have such strength. The main reason why Peter could still stand there calmly was that although his spider-sense told him that the man in front of him was a little dangerous, it didn't give him any warning.
This proved that the hooded man was not hostile to him and Anthony. When it came to Spider Sense, Peter Parker had a lot of faith in it. Sometimes, he would rather believe in the intuition of Spider Sense than the so-called objective facts. Because in the past 30 years, he had proved countless times that Spider Sense was truly correct.
Since he sensed that Li Jie was not hostile and had brought some unspeakable black technology with him, plus Li Jie said that he and Howard were old friends, Peter did not want to offend this mysterious guy. Because there was no benefit in offending such a person. What if what the hooded man said was true? What if he really came to send back some of Howard's legacy in the mysterious organization?
The Hooded Man first gave Anthony a magical tablet computer, and the Hooded Man said that he wanted Anthony to become a real Iron Man, and then he gave Anthony a special mechanical arm armor. These things showed that at least the hooded man did not show any malice. One could even say that the hooded man showed more kindness.
Based on this analysis, Peter Parker really had no reason to offend the hooded man. He did not even want to cause any misunderstandings from the hooded man, Li Jie.
So when he heard Li Jie's bad tone, Peter Parker immediately stood up and said, "Please don't be angry, sir. This is just because I'm a little worried about Anthony. I hope you can understand. This is just the feeling of an elder."
"As Howard's good friend, I entrusted Anthony to me before he died. I need to be responsible for his trust," Peter said dutifully.
The hooded man's face hidden under the illusion stared at Peter Parker for a long time, as if he wanted to see through him completely. This made Peter feel a little uncomfortable as if he was being stared at by a beast. But he did not express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he tried his best to show his attitude.
After a while, the hooded man withdrew his gaze. Peter felt as if he had passed a terrible test. His back was drenched in sweat. He could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The hooded man pointed at Peter and said, "Mr. Peter Parker, Spider-man. Well, don't look at me with that surprised look. I know you are the spider. Although not many people know about this, I happen to be one of them. Originally, Howard had recommended you to join our organization, but in the first round of internal review, you did not pass the vote. "
Li Jie made up a story with a straight face. Even he himself was starting to believe what he was saying. In any case, the Nightwalker Li Jie had always been able to tell lies without batting an eyelid. Fooling a person was as easy as breathing for Nightcrawler.
But Li Jie's ability to continue fooling left Anthony and Parker, the uncle and nephew, in a daze.
Spiders could only sense whether something was good or bad and whether it was dangerous, but they could not tell whether a person was telling the truth or lying. Li Jie already knew this when he was facing the young Peter in the main world, so he did not feel any psychological burden about fooling the old Spider-man.
After he said all these things, even the old spider, Peter Parker, felt that what Li Jie said was true.
He could not help but ask, "So, what is the organization you are talking about?"
Li Jie's eyes behind the hood stared fiercely at Peter and released his energy in an instant. When Old Peter found it a little difficult to breathe, Li Jie withdrew his gaze.
He said indifferently, "An organization that transcends the universe. This world is bigger than you think. Humans are actually smaller. Our organization's mission is to ensure the continuation of mankind, and its purpose is: our world should not perish. And there are many colleagues who are fighting for this. "
"And in this world, the person we have chosen is Anthony's father, Howard Stark."
Anthony caught the key point of Li Jie's words. "You mean this world?! What do you mean this world?! "
Li Jie chuckled and said, "Peter Parker and you are just reserve members who have not really joined the organization. I am not obliged to tell you the organization's secrets. I am just giving Anthony a chance. Whether you are willing to become Iron Man is a test for you. "
"As long as you can pass the test and verify your ability, then you are qualified to join us, to join this great organization."
Anthony asked, "After saying so much, you still haven't told me your name and the name of the organization behind you."
Li Jie nodded slightly. "Then I am being rude. You can call me Nightcrawler. And you can call our organization 'League of Legends'. "
This name had been proposed by Li Jie when he formed the Illuminati, but it was rejected by Tony Stark. The reason was that it was too old-fashioned. And this time, Li Jie mentioned the name again to Anthony. Anyway, Li Jie was the one who tricked him, so he could call it whatever he wanted.
Anthony frowned when he heard the name Li Jie said, and whispered, "Too old-fashioned." In terms of taste, Anthony was no different from Tony in the main world.
Li Jie could only pretend not to hear what Anthony said. He just continued to say, "So what do you think? Mr. Peter Parker, you can be Anthony's guardian, and even help him secretly. Our organization needs heroes who can change the world, which is why we named 'League of Legends'. "
"And whether Anthony can do this or not is our test for you. Based on what I saw in New York City, the gangs, criminals, warlords, and ethnic forces in this world are too arrogant. This has caused the lives of ordinary civilians to be miserable. So, Anthony, can you do something about it? "Li Jie said as he looked at Anthony.
Anthony curled his lips. "I have been working on this, but I still need time. You saw the Iron Man armor I made. "
Li Jie waved his hand and interrupted him. "Give up on the Iron Man armor. You should understand that when I say the real Iron Man, I don't mean that junk. I mean the one in the video I showed you. "
Anthony immediately said, "But I can't make that kind of armor!"
Li Jie said indifferently. "I can provide a suit of armor with similar performance to the one in the video. You can use it directly or use it for research. It's up to you."
Anthony opened his mouth in surprise, and Peter also looked a little surprised. This was because he had also seen the video of the Iron Man armor. He knew very well just how powerful those weapons of mass destruction were!
And Li Jie's indifferent attitude made it seem like he was not giving an advanced suit of armor, but a simple toy.
In fact, to Li Jie, what he gave was really similar to a toy. Now that the Iron Man armor in the Origin World was being upgraded, Tony had completely eliminated the traditional Mechanical Armor and changed it to the Black Gold Armor of Nano Metal.
Li Jie took some time to go back to the Origin World and sent a message to Tony, requesting for a custom-made Special Armor. For Tony, this Special Armor was really just a toy. That was why he agreed to Li Jie's request without even asking. He even got his smart factory to start production.
Because the production line was ready-made, there was no need for adjustments and tests at all. It only took five hours for Tony's smart factory to produce such a suit of armor.
Therefore, Li Jie generously said that as long as Anthony agreed to become the Iron Man, he would get a brand new Iron Man armor in three days on Earth One. (The time difference between Midgard and Earth One is twelve times.)
After hearing Li Jie's promise, Peter Parker's heart was moved. He felt that he should give it a try, and maybe there was something that could get the help of the mysterious hooded man.
So, Peter Parker took out a gem box from his chest pocket and said to Li Jie, "Mr. Nightcrawler, have you heard of a magical gem? It has special energy. "
Li Jie touched his chin. "There are many strange gems in this world and other worlds, many of which have special energy. I can't say that I've seen them all or know them all. "
"But what is the most powerful gem you know?" Peter continued to ask.
Li Jie did not need to think. "The Infinity Gem. Of course, such things are too far away from us, and you don't need to know."
Peter did not mind Li Jie's somewhat perfunctory answer. He simply opened the gem box and showed Li Jie the gem that flickered with violet light. "So, Mr. Nightcrawler, what about this gem?"
