New York, Tony’s beach house.
Tony directly returned to his place with Lin Rui. Although Tony also knew that SHIELD’s team had been monitoring him from near his villa, he did not care about their monitoring. Anyway, the technology of his villa is not something that these agents can easily breakthrough and he has no intention of hiding Mirage Knight from them as Captain Rogers and SHIELD already know.
“Well, you can sit there for me first. I’ll think about something for your hands and feet.” Lin Rui was brought into the basement and Tony said while pointing to a sofa.
Call!
Lin Rui was also unpretentious, his limbs are locked and he cannot even walk. And if he wants to get any news about Tom, he would have to remain at Tony’s side. SHIELD won’t tell Mirage Knight about their search results.
“Now, do you have something to tell me?” Tony dragged over a stool at his position and asked.
At this time, Lin Rui had already taken off the Phantom Suit and he was sitting on the sofa looking like a harmless high school student. If Tony hadn’t seen the Phantom Suit being taken off and retreating onto the wristband Lin Rui wears on his left hand, he might not believe that the young man in front of him would be New York’s famous Vigilante Mirage Knight.
“I want to contact my family first, and Peter, lest they keep worrying.” Looking at Tony with a serious face in front, Lin Rui nodded and said.
“Don’t worry, I have already told your parents that you will be helping me with experiments. Also, for the first time, I now know that you have been using me as a shield! And Peter also knows that you are safe.” Tony said quietly when he heard Lin Rui’s words.
Tony also confirmed Lin Rui’s identity long ago, and this time he made an excuse for Lin Rui. Lin Rui’s parents were very excited when they received Tony’s phone call and were told that Lin Rui could take an internship in Stark Industries. It doesn’t matter to them if he doesn’t go home. As for Peter and the League of Defender, although they really want to know how Mirage Knight is doing right now, there is no way they can ignore Tony and Lin Rui was not injured so they don’t mind waiting a little.
“So, Mr. Stark, what do you want to ask?” Knowing that Tony had spoken to his family and Peter, Lin Rui was less worried. As for Thor, Lin Rui has long forgotten about him.
As for Tony’s question, Lin Rui probably knew it too. Anyway, he had already decided to tell Tony everything and now he has the opportunity to tell him everything.
“Why didn’t you talk so well when I didn’t know your identity?” Seeing Lin Rui’s calmness, Tony said angrily.
“Isn’t that because I was worried that Mr. Stark will cause unnecessary trouble after he knows my identity and you didn’t you already figured out my identity?” Lin Rui said calmly when he heard Tony’s angry tone.
“What? If I hadn’t been careful, you would have been successfull in hiding your identity from me. Now, did you approach me on purpose in the first place?” Tony is annoyed at Lin Rui’s calm expression. Now, Tony wants to know what Lin Rui’s secret is, and why he approaches him.
“Well, I admit, I did approach you intentionally at the beginning.” Lin Rui answered helplessly after hearing Tony’s words.
“At that time, I had just become Mirage Knight and I had no teammates and no funds, I wanted to find a partner, and you were my choice.” Without waiting for Tony to ask again, Lin Rui explained.
Of course, Lin Rui was speaking half-truth. Although he did think so afterward, he approached Tony at first only because of the Mainline Quest.
“Is it really that simple? Why did you choose me? If you wanted a partner and funds to be a Vigilante, wouldn’t it be better to join your friend Harry Osborn.” Hearing Lin Rui’s explanation, Tony frowned slightly.
Moreover, Lin Rui approached Tony as Jackson Lin at that time, and Mirage Knight appeared later.
“Well, can I say that you were more pleasing to the eyes? Also, at that time, Harry was only the young master of Oscorp Industries, he was just a high school student, and he was nothing compared to his current self. If Harry was the Director of Oscorp at the time, maybe I would have asked him for help.” Lin Rui looked at Tony sincerely and explained it carefully.
“Huh! That’s one problem solved for the time being. What I want to know most now is, what secrets do you have, why did you become Mirage Knight, where did those weird things come from? Also, you seem to know a lot of secret things and many of them aren’t even known to SHIELD.” No one knew whether Tony accepted Lin Rui’s explanation but he continued to ask more questions. This time, he asked several questions in a row, which is what he is most concerned about now.
“Well, anyway, I’m going to tell you something important this time, and I should tell you something about me. But there are some things that cannot be explained, and I can only say what I can.” Knowing that Tony would be asking these questions, Lin Rui took a deep breath and said.
“Well, tell me. I’ll judge for myself.” Seeing Lin Rui so serious, Tony said seriously.
“First question, what secrets do I have? I can’t explain this.” Lin Rui’s first words make Tony frown but it was also expected.
“As for being a Mirage Knight, I chose to become Mirage Knight because of my secret that cannot be told.” Seeing Tony remaining silent, Lin Rui continued.
“Huh? Choose to become Mirage Knight? Did you have any other choices?” Tony sharply noticed something unusual in Lin Rui’s sentence and stared at him.
“Yes, I did choose to become Mirage Knight myself. As for the other choices, you only need to know that it was not a good thing.” Seeing Tony having doubts about this, Lin Rui explained briefly.
“I see, go on.” With a nod, Tony asks Lin Rui thoughtfully.
“As for all the strange and magical things on me, they were all obtained from my unspeakable secret, including the thing that saved your life before. Of course, there is a price to get these things, and some of them are not so easy to get.” Lin Rui goes on to answer Tony’s question.
“So, so you have more than just one of those things that can save lives? The one you used to save Fury last time in SHIELD is the same thing you used on me.” Tony said, Tony said again.
“That’s right. However, when I saved you, I really only had that one, and the one that saved Fury was obtained later.” With a nod, Lin Rui answered honestly.
“So, do you still have that thing now?”
