Chapter 3428 Son of Midnight (Twenty-Seven)
"Don't give me that!" Stark waved his arm away and said, "Why do you think I would blow up the Roxxon Corporation's information center?! Is this something I would do?"
"Then tell me, who would do this?" Natasha asked, resting her hands on the pool table. "Don't tell me it was Schiller."
Stark suddenly had an idea and remembered that Schiller asked him to help apply for the Oregon route yesterday.
"Tony, I hope you understand the seriousness of this matter. No matter what Roxxon is doing behind the scenes, they haven't violated any law on the surface, and they have provided millions of jobs, and their reputation among the public has always been good.
"They encountered an incident that was infinitely similar to a terrorist attack. Not only might it cause panic, it could also be very detrimental to your subsequent investigation." Steve spoke quickly.
"Wait! It's Schiller!" Stark said, holding up a finger. "When we came back from Jupiter yesterday, he said we were going to land in Oregon. It must be him!"
Steve and Natasha looked at each other.
"But then again," Natasha said, "precisely because Roxxon appears to be impeccable, we must take some special measures to conduct the investigation. Schiller should have his own considerations."
Stark looked at her in disbelief. My goodness, how come my bombing is considered a terrorist attack, but his bombing is considered a calculated one?
"At least he didn't hurt anyone," Steve said. "He blew it up at night. It was a bit noisy, but the employees had gone home by then. Aside from two security guards getting startled, nothing happened."
Stark turned to look at Steve again and asked, "You, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also betrayed us?"
"Wait a minute," Natasha said suddenly, "If Schiller was planning to blow something up... is Jupiter still there?!"
As soon as these words came out, the four people in the room froze at the same time, and Stark quickly shouted: "JARVIS!!!"
"Still there, sir. Jupiter is safe and sound."
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Coulson said, "Are you sure it was Schiller? If the director asks, I'll say so."
"Wait a minute," Stark turned on the computer next to him and began to look up the news about the bombing of the Roxxon Information Storage Center.
"What are you looking for?" Natasha asked.
"I suspect Schiller did it on purpose," Stark said. "Yesterday, he raided the temple on Io and killed all the dark elves there. This should be a heavy loss for the dark elves. If we leave it alone, the dark elves will definitely ask Roxxon Company for an explanation."
"But if Roxxon also suffered the same loss, they can also shirk responsibility and say that they are also victims."
"You mean Schiller is balancing the relationship between the two?" Natasha frowned and thought about it. She tapped her chin with her fingertips and said, "But what are the benefits of doing this? To make their cooperation more stable?"
"That's really possible," Steve said. "If both of them were attacked, it means there is an external enemy. In this case, the two of them should work together to fight against this enemy hiding in the dark. This will make them strengthen their cooperation."
"That's right," Stark snapped his fingers and said, "If the location of the portal and resources cannot prove that Roxxon Corporation has betrayed humanity, then all we need to do is collect evidence of their cooperation with the dark elves. Cooperating with a race that once invaded Earth is itself a betrayal."
Stark quickly shut down the computer and said, "Jarvis, help me keep an eye on Roxxon's New York headquarters right now. Also, don't forget Washington."
"Where are you going?" Natasha asked.
"Let's go back to Stark Tower. I want to meet with the people from Roxxon Company to discuss technical cooperation. If I show up in person, will Dario Agger dare to ignore me?"
"You want to hold him back so that the impatient dark elves can come find him in person? But do they dare to enter Stark Tower?"
"Of course not, so I will set up surveillance cameras around. As long as we can capture the dark elves, we can be sure that this Ager is indeed having an affair with the dark elves."
"But if they appear around Stark Tower, you are also a suspect. Although I know that normal people will not suspect you, if someone deliberately frames you, it may also cause public outcry."
"Let's put it this way," Steve said aloud, "I'll assemble the Avengers. Once the Dark Elf shows up, we'll take him down. If we can get a confession from them, then everything will be solved."
Stark nodded, put on his coat and walked out of the room quickly. Natasha looked at Coulson and said, "Let Nick keep an eye on Schiller. I'll take care of this."
Once the news of the destruction of the Roxxon Information Storage Center was reported, the whole of New York was in turmoil. Nick slammed the table in his office so hard that it shook the sky.
"I'll say it again, no matter how much damage you've suffered, it's not a reason for you to stand here and question me. Unless you can produce evidence that someone with super powers was involved in the destruction!"
Opposite him stood a black-haired man in a suit. He was wearing sunglasses, so his eyes couldn't be seen clearly, but he looked imposing.
"We have already found an expert to identify the cause of the sudden flash at the scene of the accident. It is impossible for a normal person to do it..."
"Experts? What the hell are you talking about?!" Nick roared, "All the experts related to superpowers are in my SHIELD. They won't work for you, let alone draw any conclusions!"
"And if you want me to put a wanted warrant on the superpowered person who committed the crime, then you should at least give me his image and abilities. Otherwise, what would you want me to put a wanted warrant on? A beam of light?!"
"This is clearly a superpowered crime, and falls under the jurisdiction of SHIELD. If you don't help me track it down, I will sue you!"
"Then go ahead," Nick pointed at the door and said, "Go to Congress, the UN Security Council, or the Earth Federation Office. Whoever you can find. I want to see who can put me in jail!"
"I'm telling you, Agger, I've got so much work to do right now that I could bury the fucking Earth. If you're going to give me a hard time right now, we're going to have to talk about what happened last time!"
After saying that, Nick slammed the door and left. The man in the room looked cold. He took out his cell phone and was about to make a call when it rang.
"What did you say? Stark invited me to discuss technical cooperation? ... He said he would be there in person? Okay, tell him, I'll go."
Dario hung up the phone and his expression became serious. After he left the office, Nick came back, adjusted his eye mask, scratched his head, and said in confusion: "What's wrong with Schiller? Why did he suddenly blow up the information storage center?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Carter rushed in and said, "Oh no, boss! There's a fight on the streets of New York!"
"Is this your first day in New York, Agent Carter? Is it new to see people fighting on the streets of New York?"
"No, it's a superhero..."
"Okay, okay, it's the new Spider-Man again? Who is he fighting this time? Could it be Dr. Otto who just came back from vacation? That would be really unlucky for him." Nick laughed twice.
"No! It's Moon Knight!"
"Who is Moonlight Knight again???"
Nick rushed out of the office and came to the monitoring room, just in time to see two figures fighting fiercely on the streets of Manhattan.
Half an hour ago, in the Moonlight Temple, Schiller put the little black cat into the aviation cabin and said to him through the cage: "Be good, I'm going to take you to get vaccinated. I'll open a can of food for you when I come back."
"Have you given him a name?" Kong Su asked.
"Not yet," Schiller thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I want to call him 'Arrogant', but Arrogant will definitely disagree. Or I want to call him 'Black Mist', but Gray Mist won't agree either. So I plan to call him 'Nya'."
"Does Naya agree?"
"Of course he doesn't agree, but there are many things he disagrees with. He also disagrees with me not paying back my debts, but I still haven't paid them back, right? This one thing doesn't make a big difference."
Kong Su showed a look of disapproval.
Schiller raised his hand and changed from his uniform to casual clothes. He picked up his flight case, went downstairs, walked out of the alley, and got into the car.
As soon as he drove out of the street, his cell phone rang. After he picked up the phone, Danny's voice rang on the other end: "Doctor, where are you? Can I come to you now?"
"What's wrong, Danny?"
"Johnny's not feeling right again, and I might need the Avengers' help. Can you take me to them?"
"Where are you now?"
"The edge of Brooklyn, almost to Manhattan..."
"I'm going to Manhattan as well. Please find an intersection to meet me. I'll drive to pick you up and we can talk about your brother on the way."
After hanging up the phone, Schiller concentrated on driving, and soon saw Danny waiting on the roadside.
Schiller wanted to continue driving, but he saw that the black cat he had placed in the back seat seemed a little agitated, so he could only say, "You drive, I need to feed the kitten."
Danny nodded and sat in the driver's seat. Schiller opened the rear door, let the kitten out of the airline box, and fed him the cat food he had prepared.
After the kitten ate the cat food, it calmed down a lot. But looking at his eyes, Schiller was sure that he might want to eat the telephone pole outside the car more.
After making sure Danny couldn't see, Schiller secretly took out two coins. The kitten was really interested, but Schiller didn't give them to it. Instead, he hid them in his palm and then turned them over to tease it.
Schiller was busy teasing the cat, and the cat was busy being teased by Schiller. Neither the man nor the cat noticed that a stretched Lincoln was coming from the opposite lane, and Danny's eyes almost instantly burst into flames.
“Sizzle—bang!”
The car tilted and collided with the Lincoln in the opposite lane. Schiller was shaken and almost hit the front seat. He quickly took a look at the kitten. Fortunately, this was not an ordinary cat. It was shaken off his legs, but it just fell to the ground and was not injured.
Schiller looked out the window and saw two bodyguards in black suits getting out of the car. He quickly got out and said, "I'm sorry, my friend is receiving psychological treatment recently and his mental state is not good. He may have been distracted while driving. Are you okay?"
Another figure walked out from the back of the car, wearing a black suit and sunglasses. At first glance, his outfit seemed a bit strange, but he also had the style of a successful person.
"Hello, I'm Dario Agger. Is your friend okay? Does he need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Schiller found that his eyes were clearly fixed on the main driver, and Danny was not in a good condition. He could hardly control the fire in his eyes, and the Ghost Rider was about to come.
"He's fine," Schiller stepped forward, blocking his view, and then said, "I'm Schiller Rodriguez. Nice to meet you, Mr. Ag. We have some urgent matters and must leave immediately. You can call the insurance, and if you have any subsequent questions about the compensation procedures, please contact me directly."
Schiller handed him a business card and looked back at Danny. He found that Danny's eyes were always fixed on Dario, which seemed to indicate that this guy had committed a serious crime.
This is the trouble with Ghost Rider. When they meet someone who is full of sin, they can't control themselves. But they can't let Ghost Rider come here no matter what.
"I'm sorry, you can't leave," Dario said, raising an eyebrow. "My car is very expensive, and the cost of repairing it is also very high. You must wait here until the insurance is determined."
"That's what you said," Schiller looked into his eyes and nodded slightly at him, then turned and walked to the main driver's door, opened it and checked on Danny.
