"Yo, isn't this Mr.
Merlin?"
While Merlin was talking to his sister and brother-in-law, a somewhat flirtatious voice sounded behind him.Merlin turned around and saw Tony, dressed in a red casual suit, wearing sunglasses, and his hair combed with oily shine.
Stark, holding the slender waist of a lady with a wonderful figure and a drink, was standing behind him.Well, it looks like it's going to stir up trouble."
Tony..."
Merlin didn't want to deal with the guy, he stroked Little Peter's hair as he said, "How could a playboy like you come to such an occasion?"
”"It's a fundraiser, Merlin.""
And I'm a conscientious businessman, I'm passionate about social affairs, and I make a lot of friends here," Tony said.Besides, a cold-blooded guy like you can come, so why can't I?
”"Tony."
Merlin's voice carried a hint of warning, and he said, "My family is here, be careful when you speak." ”Seeing the cold light emanating from Merlin's eyes, Tony subconsciously shrunk his neck, he no longer paid attention to Merlin, raised the wine glass in his hand, and raised it to Mei and Ben: "Look at this radiant and beautiful lady." ”Tony did not hesitate to praise May, he was gentle and polite to May: "You must be the sister of my friend Merlin, I have heard him say things about you many times, I have heard that you are a person who is enthusiastic about public affairs, coincidentally, and so am I, I am planning to invest in several welfare centers in New York City to help those in need." ”"Oh yes, my name is Tony, Tony.
Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”"You're so polite, Mr.
Stark."
May was a little embarrassed by Tony's explicit compliment, and she raised her glass to Tony, revealing the wedding ring on her finger, which made Tony nod slightly with some regret.He pouted at Merlin, and then left with his female companion.Seeing the open-mouthed guy leave, Merlin breathed a sigh of relief.He doesn't want his family to know who he is, which would put them in some unnecessary danger."
Merlin, I didn't expect you to be friends with Mr.
Stark?"
Mei was a little surprised, and said, "He seems to be a little amorous, but very likable, playboy as rumored." ”"Nope."
Merlin denied, "He's just a guy who doesn't have a beating, and a kid who doesn't grow up." ”"yes, I think Merlin is right, too."
Ben said on the side: "This Mr.
Tony, he has a bit of a flamboyant tongue. ”Well, it seems that Ben doesn't have a good feeling for the guy who tried to hook up with his wife."
You two are so boring!"
May reached out and took little Peter from Merlin's arms, and she gave her husband and brother a blank look, and then turned and walked to the church, as if intending to rest for a while."
Speaking of which, who's that guy?"
Merlin stayed where he was, talking to Ben.He stumbled upon a man talking to Father Paul, a man with a somewhat overgrown body and a big bald head with a cane, who looked a little arrogant, but the smile on his face was sincere.Ben, who was beside Merlin, took a sip of his wine and said to Merlin, "That's Wilson.
Fisk, said to be a big businessman from out of town, is preparing to invest in Hell's Kitchen property. ”"Invest in hell's kitchen?"
Merlin was surprised and said, "Is he crazy?"
”"No, I've heard that Mr.
Fisk seems to have been born in Hell's Kitchen, probably because he was planning to do something for his hometown."
Ben said with a little envy: "It's really a homecoming." ”"Hmm."
Merlin nodded as well, and he said, "Indeed, there are attempts to change Hell's Kitchen, there are attempts to pull this neighborhood out of hopeless chaos...
That should be a good thing. ”"Anyway, let's wait and see what our Mr.
Fisk can do.""
Yikes."
A scream rang out behind Merlin, and when he looked back, he saw that Raven and Daisy had started a new round of "fighting", Merlin put down his glass, and was about to intervene, but Ben stopped him.Ben said to Merlin in a serious way, "Leave it alone.Merlin, that's how the friendship between children is, and you believe me, Raven and Daisy will become good friends. ”"Okay."
Merlin hesitated, but finally didn't intervene.But it seems that as Ben said, after the two girls fought back and forth a few times, with the mediation of Charlie and Eric, the two of them also restored peace, and under Merlin's secret attention, Raven, who originally ignored anyone, also talked to Daisy for the first time.I don't know what the two little girls are talking about.Soon after, the fund-raising ceremony hosted by St.
Agnes Monastery began, and Father Paul gave a very heartfelt speech, in which Fr.
Paul, a well-known priest throughout New York, announced that the funds raised would be used to help orphans in New York City.Merlin donated 2 months of his salary, which is heart.And Tony, who has deep pockets.
Stark announced that he would donate $5 million to St.
Matthew's Church for public utilities, and also promoted a new product designed by Stark Industries.But even so, Tony wasn't the most beautiful boy at the fundraising ceremony.That sturdy one is said to have been born in Hell's Kitchen.
Fisk, who made a one-time donation of $20 million and announced that he would set up a Hell's Kitchen Renovation Foundation with St.
Matthew's Church, declared that he would turn New York's most chaotic Hell's Kitchen neighborhood into a place where good people could live and work in peace within a few years.This speech rightly sparked a wave of cheers.The atmosphere was very warm, but it had nothing to do with Merlin, and after the fundraising ceremony, he took his family, along with Daisy's parents, to Mick's Bistro in Queens for a simple but warm meal.During the meal, Merlin also sees Daisy placing the sliced pizza on Raven's plate, and Raven, who has temporarily lost her magical abilities, also clumsily pours orange juice for her new friend.Noticing Merlin's gaze on her, Raven glared at him fiercely, then turned her face away from him.Well, it seems that he still has a long way to go in establishing a good relationship with Raven.Now, though, it's barely a good start.—————————————— early the next morning, Merlin was following a tutorial on his phone to prepare a healthy breakfast for his sister, who was still asleep, when there was a knock on his door.It was a rhythmic knock on the door, which represented good etiquette on the part of the knocker.Merlin put the bread slices in the toaster, set the time, and then walked over and opened the door, where he saw a large man standing in front of his door."
Piot."
Merlin leaned over and invited him in, and he said, "Or, should I call you Colossus, which do you prefer?"
”"Whatever you want."
Colossus smiled softly, and he sat down on Merlin's couch, the huge weight that pressed the couch down, and made a somewhat overwhelmed sound."
Well, I'd better sit in a chair."

Piot smiled awkwardly, took a chair from the side, and sat down at the coffee table.Merlin put the baked bread and the prepared healthy breakfast on a plate as he said to Colossus, "You wait a minute, I'll deliver the breakfast to my sister." ”After saying that, he took breakfast and walked into Raven's room, and after a while, Merlin walked out with a calm face, obviously trying to use breakfast to get closer to Raven had failed.That tsundere girl had obviously spoken to Elsa and everyone else yesterday, but she just didn't plan to talk to Merlin properly.It made him a little depressed."
Here's the information and clues we've put together so far, Mr.
Merlin."
Colossus opened the file bag he was holding and handed a few documents to Merlin, who took it in his hand, sat on the sofa, opened it and looked at it, and after a while, Merlin's expression became a little strange.He raised his head and said to Colossus, "Those mutants who disappeared disappeared without a sound?"
What is each one?
”"Hmm."
Colossus nodded, and he explained, "We went to the scene to see the previous disappearances.There are students in the academy who are good at tracking traces, and the instructor Hank in the academy has the smell and senses of a beast, but we still haven't found any useful traces. ”"There were no footprints, no traces of fighting, no blood, as if the mutants had suddenly disappeared.""
Have you checked the energy residue?"
Merlin asked, "Even if there are aliens involved, they will leave behind a certain amount of energy residue, and by analyzing those energies, you can determine their identity." ”"We checked.""
There's energy there's really there, but it's not anything we know of, and I'm bringing data analysis of those strange energies," Colossus said. ”He pulled out a spectral map from the file and handed it to Merlin."
Strange."
Merlin frowned, looked at the spectrogram in his hand, and said, "This kind of data...
I seem to have seen it before, let me think about it. ”Merlin recalled for a moment, then he looked up and said to Colossus, "I've seen it, but it involves some S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets, so I can't tell you for now."
I'll go to S.H.I.E.L.D. to check first, and I'll let you know if there's any news. ”"Hmm."
A smile appeared on Coloss's face, and he said to Merlin, "It seems that the professor's choice was indeed correct. ”"Don't be so optimistic, Piot."
Merlin said: "Just to determine the energy residue, does not mean that we can follow this clue, most of these missing people are in northern North America, that is, we are likely to go to Canada once, and over there...
But the territory of the Mutant Brotherhood. ”"I'll be ready, Mr.
Merlin.""
I don't like violence, but I can fight when necessary," Colossus said. ”"Hmm" Merlin nodded, focusing on the scattered clues in front of him and no longer speaking.After a few minutes, Coulis suddenly asked, "Mr.
Merlin, I heard that you have been exposed to demonic powers?"
”"Huh?"
Merlin looked up at Colossus, he didn't know why Colossus had suddenly brought up the question."
I...
I've encountered something related to demons. ”Under Merlin's gaze, Coulis said with some gloom: "I used to have a sister. ”"Ever?"
Merlin savored the word, and he looked at Colossus: "So, something happened to her?"
And it has something to do with demons?
”"Yes."
Colossus sighed, and the philosophical mutant whispered, "My sister and I were born in Siberia, and my parents are ordinary people, but my sister and I are both mutants.You should know that when mutants awaken their powers, they often bring a lot of uncontrollable dangers. ”"yes, I know.""
That's why people don't like mutants, it's like a bomb that can explode at any moment. ”"Yes."
Colossus nodded gloomily, and the big man said: "My sister woke up earlier than me, when I was 10 years old and she was 6 years old, one night, my sick sister suddenly awakened her ability, and the terrible psionic storm directly tore my family's house apart, but fortunately it didn't hurt my parents and me." ”"My sister was panicked, and my parents were a little at a loss, but they didn't dislike my sister because of this, on the contrary, they took us both of us to a more remote place.""
But we haven't been able to escape the crisis.""
I remember very well that when my sister was 7 years old, one afternoon, my sister and I came back from fishing in a nearby creek and saw a fire on my family's farm, and I went to look for my parents, but I saw their...
Corpse.Next to the corpse, there was a man in a robe of red and earthy yellow...
No, it's not a man, it's a demon!
”"I saw its shadow cast on the ground, a hideous, twisted demon.""
It subdued me and my sister very easily, and it said it was here for my sister.It took her and left me alone in the flames to die, maybe it was anger, maybe it was fear, but in short, I also awakened my abilities and escaped from the fire. ”"I've been looking for her all these years."
Coulix raised his head and said to Merlin, "When I arrived at Xavier's Talent Academy, I learned that Lady Auroro was a wizard, I was pleasantly surprised, I thought she could help me find my missing sister, but unfortunately, Lady Auroro she...""
She's a white wizard."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "White wizards don't deal with demons and devils, what you need is a dark wizard...
Oh, I see. ”Merlin nodded knowingly: "So, Auroro pushed this trouble to me?"
”"What a cunning woman.But the question is, how does she know that I will definitely help?
