You know, I was imprisoned for three months.
Now that I'm back, there are only two things I want to do.
First, eat cheeseburgers until I'm full, and second..."
Suddenly, Tony rolled his eyes, as if he heard something.
"It's not what you're thinking, I'm holding a press conference!"
Listening to Tony and Pepper chatter, Luo Mang was almost falling asleep.
But thankfully, Tony hadn't started talking about ideas that would last until the seas run dry and rocks decay.
"Luo Mang, go directly to the Stark Industries building, I need to warm up before the party starts."
Gently sliding the steering wheel, Luo Mang didn't refuse and started the car directly.
"I heard Pepper say you didn't ask for anything?"
Just as the atmosphere became a bit dull, Tony couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"Yes, Mr. Stark, I just don't like owing favors."
"Don't call me Stark, do you remember you saved me? Call me Tony."
Tony had a sudden drastic change at the peak of his life, so he was secretly grateful to both Ethan and Luo Mang.
"Coincidentally, I don't like owing favors either.
Ethan will work at Stark Industries, just like we discussed before, how about you come too?
I can give you a job with an annual salary of tens of millions, hmm... how about being my travelling bodyguard?
Don't look at me like that, for my personal bodyguard, I only want women."
Although he had just escaped from danger, Tony recovered very quickly, joking with great interest.
"Tony, have you ever thought about what you will become in the future?"
Ignoring Tony's joke, Luo Mang calmly turned the steering wheel, asking casually as if it were unintentional.
"Oh, I think I'll be living a life of debauchery amidst countless US dollars."
Tony shrugged, responding indifferently.
"What if someone wanted to take away everything you worked so hard to build?"
"Then I'll make him pay."
Tony's tone was very calm, as if this was his most authentic self at this moment.
Through the rearview mirror, Luo Mang looked at Tony, only to find that Tony was also looking at him, and Luo Mang couldn't help but smile.
"Then we are really alike."
With a curve, sunlight streamed through the car window.
Although it was warm, it was a bit dazzling.
...
"I announce the closure of Stark International's weapons manufacturing division, effective immediately!"
Tony, dressed in a black suit, said these words under the gaze of countless eyes.
And in the crowd, Tony could always spot Luo Mang at a glance.
Perhaps because of their previous conversation, what Tony wanted most at this moment was Luo Mang's support.
When he saw Luo Mang smiling at him, Tony's heart inexplicably felt much lighter.
"Hello, I'm Phil Agent Coulson.
I belong to the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division.
Regarding the detailed matters of Tony Stark's rescue, I would like to ask you to answer some questions."
As soon as Luo Mang entered Stark Industries, he felt someone observing him, he didn't expect Agent Coulson, this good Man, to hold back until now.
"I think you can ask Tony for the specific details, not me."
Luo Mang turned around to look at Agent Coulson, speaking politely.
Then he turned and left without looking back.
"Agent Coulson, how was it?"
Agent Coulson watched Luo Mang walk away, a majestic voice came through his earphone.
"Very dangerous, sir.
Although he kept smiling, I instinctively wanted to avoid his gaze."
Nick Fury frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Luo Mang's file is clean, but eyes don't lie, no matter how deeply a person hides!
Agent Coulson, temporarily classify Luo Mang's danger level as high.
Pay attention to his interactions with Stark."
"Understood, sir!"
Agent Coulson lowered his right hand from his earphone, but as soon as he turned around, his pupils suddenly constricted!
"Excuse me, I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Looking at Luo Mang who was smiling at him, Agent Coulson instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
When did Luo Mang get behind him, and why didn't he notice?
"N-nothing... it's fine."
Agent Coulson forced out a smile.
Although his face still maintained the image of a good Man, his heart was already in turmoil.
In Agent Coulson's eyes, Luo Mang's smile was almost indistinguishable from a demon's smile.
"Don't follow me, I'm thinking for your sake."
Having reached this point, there was no need for Luo Mang to hide anymore.
His eerie green pupils stared intently at Agent Coulson.
Luo Mang didn't care if Agent Coulson was some good Man, in short.
Those who block the way, die!
If Agent Coulson was seeking death himself, then even if he was killed by Luo Mang, it would be unavoidable, right?
"Got it."
After a brief moment of blankness, Agent Coulson finally recalled the basic qualities of an Agent.
"Oh, right, hurry up and reply, I don't want to be treated as a criminal for no reason."
Before leaving, Luo Mang touched his right ear towards Agent Coulson, and this time he truly left.
"Agent Coulson! Agent Coulson! Reply quickly!"
It wasn't until his body relaxed from its tense state that Agent Coulson heard Nick Fury's voice.
"S-sir."
Agent Coulson swallowed with difficulty.
"I think... perhaps Luo Mang's danger level... should be raised to the highest."
There was silence on the other end of the earphone, and after a long while, two words came back.
"Approved!"
...
On the boundless sea.
An isolated sea prison.
"Thanks, Pepper."
"You're welcome, you saved Tony, it's what I should do.
Just as I promised before, you will get Stark's friendship and support.
However... I'm a little curious, what are you going to 'The Raft' for?
You know, that's a sea prison."
"Alright Pepper, don't ask too many questions, Luo has some... well, you know, issues in that area."
Tony's frivolous voice came from the video call.
Watching Tony constantly wink at him.
Luo Mang naturally knew that Tony was covering for him.
But he still couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, and after thanking him again, he hung up the phone.
Whoosh--
Luo Mang boarded this famous sea prison.
But as soon as he stepped onto the small island, Luo Mang keenly noticed something unusual.
Lizard-like eerie green eyes could provide vision far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Slowly lowering his head, poisonous jellyfish were spread throughout the surrounding sea area.
On the high walls around, there were 30 computer-controlled ray guns.
From the moment he stepped onto the land of the small island, the scales around Luo Mang's body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, suddenly lying dormant.
"The Raft's bio-energy damping field, how interesting."
Luo Mang adjusted his glasses, and walked towards the prison as if no one else was there.
"Wow wow wow~~
I was wondering when you would arrive."
A blond Man in a prison guard uniform approached Luo Mang.
"Lakum."
Lakum shifted his baton to the left and was about to shake hands with Luo Mang.
"Luo Mang."
Luo Mang responded with his usual smile, slightly reducing the force in his hand.
Luo Mang knew that this Man who seemed to be just a prison guard was actually the real controller of 'The Raft'.
A S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, after being rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D., he was responsible for guarding 'The Raft'.
Controlling and guarding dangerous criminals and superhumans.
But in reality, this was Lakum's private territory.
From the fact that Luo Mang could easily enter here, it could be known that Tony must have given him a lot of benefits.
