Chapter 82 The White Whale 21
Finished!
Peter looked at the building hit by the violent explosion, his pupils trembled.
Although the people in the residential building have basically escaped in the stable period after the first explosion, this is a residential area with extremely dense traffic after all. This explosion will affect the surrounding residents, not to mention the road traffic. There are still many people watching the excitement!
The eyes of Alice, who was protected by him, moved slightly.
She stretched out her hand in Peter's blind spot, and there seemed to be a mass of transparent fluid surging in her snow-white palm.
At this moment, several bright lights suddenly flashed across the sky, and a steel battle armor flew in the air, and quickly smashed several huge concrete stones that almost hit passers-by in the distance!
"boom--"
With the sound of shattering, several dazzling rays of light broke apart the boulder carrying death in the blink of an eye.
Gravel and soil immediately smashed the heads and faces of those passers-by, and the streets were suddenly covered with thick smoke and dust.
"Okay, audience, I understand your desire to watch the excitement, but now it's time for dinner, so hurry home and eat." The steel armor hovered in the air, and Tony's voice sounded.
Those passers-by who had escaped from death screamed and ran out from the thick smoke, each of them was scared out of their wits, and they were no longer in the mood to watch the excitement, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Alice silently retracted her hand and withdrew her strength.
Well, the gold master's father, it's reliable!
Iron Man landed in front of the stunned little spider, and said in a relaxed tone: "Good job, crime-fighting spider boy, you saw it inside..."
His voice stopped suddenly.
Because he saw Spider-Man listening to him while letting go of the person who had been tightly protected by him in his arms and couldn't see his face.
As soon as the man was put down, he raised his familiar and pretty face, his big bright eyes were hidden behind the light purple sunglasses, and he looked straight at him.
The little girl even smiled and waved to him when she realized she was looking at her.
Tony: "...?"
Dangdang!Cardiopulmonary arrest!
"...Alice?!" Tony's voice changed instantly, "Why are you here!?"
The little spider who has not yet reacted: "...?"
Alice, who was smiling happily at first, immediately withered when she heard Tony's tone: "I, I was just passing by..."
"Hey meow..." Tony swallowed back the swear words that he almost uttered, "No, aren't you a concert today? Why did you pass by this kind of place? Happy or Alexander shouldn't send you directly Going to the concert venue? My God, don't tell me you were almost affected by this explosion just now!"
Alice blinked, trying to make an innocent expression: "Oh..."
"Alice!" Tony's tone was obviously aggravated.
"No! Am I okay?" Alice said, and she poked the petrified little spider lightly on the back, signaling him to say a few words quickly.
The little spider was dumbfounded.
Wait a minute, what's going on here? ?
Why does he suddenly have the feeling that his college classmates and elementary school classmates are chatting under his circle of friends, is the world so small?How did you two know each other, and why do you seem so close! ?
Seeing that the little spider was unreliable, Alice hurriedly saved herself: "It's all right, Mr. Stark, don't worry about me, Spider-Man came very quickly, he saved me! Look, am I all right?"
Spider-Man: ? ? ?
Thank you for your invitation. I was in Manhattan. I was just rescued from an explosion by a male singer in disguise who looks weak but actually has unknown superpowers. Now she insists that I saved her and tried to deceive my idol and mentor Iron Man. Excuse me. As a huge fan of hers, which side should I be on?
The little spider's brain couldn't handle such a complicated problem for a while, so he crashed.
"...Wait a minute, you're going to make me not understand." Tony's whole body is not good, "Why are you here? Do you have a special fate with these bombings or something? This is the second time! I don't want to have to carry Suxiao Jiuxin Pills with me every day from now on!"
"Oh, I'm getting ready to go to the concert..." Alice shrank her neck in fright from Tony, and said weakly, "It's getting late now, I can't delay."
"You know you can't delay?" Tony was obviously so anxious that he was still afraid now, with obvious anger in his tone, "No, you can go to the hospital for an examination right now, right away, I don't worry. "
Alice, the child, has obviously suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since the bombing incident last time, and the symptoms may even be worse than himself!
He has suffered from the mental illness himself and is certainly well aware of the pain of PTSD flare-ups.
He could see the child's symptoms. He even saw Alice cry silently in the narrow and dark closet. God knows how uncomfortable and guilty he was at that time.
Alice was obviously an overly sensible child, she would never show any vulnerability in front of him in person.She now looks normal on the outside, but no one will know what the chaos in her inner world has become except herself.
And now, Alice almost had an accident again!
What made Tony even more heartbroken was that he was late again this time!Who knows what would have happened if the little spider wasn't there!
"But the concert..."
"When can't the concert be held?" Tony said, "I won't let you go to the concert under such circumstances, Alice."
Alice's physical and psychological conditions are unclear, and Tony is too aware of the consequences of letting her face the dark audience alone in this situation.
The dangers and unknowns hidden in the crowd and darkness are enough to destroy a person psychologically.
It was the fear and anxiety that came from the bottom of my heart.
Those fanatical, appreciative, scrutinizing, or jealous gazes, those shadows hidden behind the hearts of the people, those ubiquitous but nowhere to be found malice will be like stabs in the back, and those who stand under the light It was riddled with wounds.
"You can't go." Tony repeated, "Wait here, I'll come get you right away."
Alice was slightly taken aback: "Aren't you here?"
"I'm... well, I'm actually in Gotham right now," Tony said, "but it doesn't matter, okay? I'm right here, I just need transportation to get you back."
He didn't want to fly back with the little girl in his arms, let alone the hard armor, it would be bad if someone caught a cold again.
"But what if I don't go? Today is my home game." Alice said with her eyes widened in disbelief.
"It's simple, I'm calling someone to invite other big names to come over now, and invite a few more to perform in your place, to make sure that your fans feel that the trip is worthwhile, and at the same time refund the original ticket price and give them a ticket. Priority ticket purchase right for a concert." Tony said richly, "Let's say you were injured in an accident—don't worry, I will make all the arrangements."
Alice fell silent upon hearing this, and stared at him without saying a word.
The little spider stood between the two of them, extremely embarrassed.
Little Spider: I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car.
After this suffocating confrontation lasted for several seconds, Alice finally spoke.
"I don't," she said.
Tony was slightly taken aback.
This was the first time Alice had rejected him in such a serious tone.
It was different from her usual tone that seemed to be coquettish. At this time, there was no smile on her face, and her already fair little face seemed to be even paler, with a bit of stubbornness in her expression.
"I don't." Alice repeated, she looked up at Tony's remote control armor, "I won't give up, I have to go."
"..." Now, Tony was hesitated by her firm attitude, "Why?"
You have been physically and mentally devastated by the recent explosions, why do you still have to hold a concert under pressure?
Alice shook her head and said, "Because... this is a dream."
Her last few words were very low, almost dissipated in the wind, and Tony couldn't hear them clearly, but the little spider who was closer to her could hear them clearly.
The little spider was slightly taken aback.
For some reason, Alice's soft "dream" suddenly touched a certain chord in his heart.
Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between young people. The little spider who also harbored a certain dream did not know where the courage came from, and said, "Uh, Mr. Stark, I think..."
The eyes of Tony and Alice focused on him at the same time.
Tony: "Huh? I'm listening."
The little spider froze on the spot: ... This damn oppressive feeling!
He immediately regretted opening his mouth, but he had no choice but to do so, so he could only take off his hood, looked directly into Tony's eyes sincerely, and said bravely, "I think... Alice wasn't hurt anyway, right?" ?And the pipe explosion is only a small probability event after all. The concert venue is strictly checked, so there should be no danger... And, I will go tonight, Mr. Stark! I will protect Alice Yes, although she herself..."
——She is also fully capable of protecting herself, she was obviously the one who saved me just now, not me who saved her!
Alice quickly poked him behind the little spider: "Peter!"
The little spider slammed on the brakes: "Uh, she will have other bodyguards, so..."
Tony stared at him for a long time, and finally said faintly: "...you two know each other very well?"
Why do you start calling each other by each other's names as soon as you meet?
Peter said with some embarrassment: "It's not very familiar, it's just acquaintance..."
Tony: …
Very well, Alice Milia, what surprises do you have that I don't know about.jpg
"Oh, Mr. Stark!" Alice blinked her eyes, and skipped over this topic very decisively. The serious look just faded away like an illusion, and the smart and cunning temperament appeared in her again. On the body, "Please let me go, just this time, okay? I have been practicing hard for so long, and I have been preparing for this concert for so long. I really want to go... Please, okay? "
She took off her light purple sunglasses, and looked at Tony with those sapphire-like eyes that were the clearest and most crystal clear under the blue sky.
Tony, who was participating in a business meeting reception thousands of miles away, paused for a moment.
Looking at Alice's light blue eyes displayed on the holographic projection screen, he took a glass of sparkling wine from the passing waiter with a little resignation, and drank it down in one gulp.
What is this all about?
Why every time he looked into Alice's eyes, he felt like he couldn't bear to reject her?
It was as if there was always a hidden glimmer in those eyes that made him feel soft. He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he was defeated by her gaze time and time again.
Alice didn't know what was going on with Tony on the opposite side. She thought Tony's silence meant rejection, so she could only say pitifully again: "Mr. Stark, you granted me half a wish a few days ago. Can you borrow half of it first to make up one? Just let me go, I promise there will be no problems!"
Loan half a wish?
Tony laughed a little.
In fact, he was ready to give in, but since Alice took the initiative to borrow money, let's follow her words.
"Okay," Tony said, "now you owe me half a wish, right?"
Alice who was suddenly asked a very abstract math problem: "..."
"Then..." Tony didn't embarrass Alice anymore, he looked at the smiling handsome man who was walking towards him in the reception hall, and said, "I'm in Gotham now, it will take a while to get there, Peter, you send Let her go, I will hand over the little girl to you..."
Halfway through the speech, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly added: "Wait, I mean, I'll leave it to you for the time being! If you have any questions, contact me immediately, understand?"
"Okay, Mr. Stark!" Peter said quickly, judging from the expression on his face, he was really flattered.
"Very well," said Tony. "Remember you owe me half a wish, little Alice. See you in half an hour."
Then he cut off the communication.
The holographic screen went out in front of his eyes, and without the obstruction of his line of sight, Tony clearly saw the man standing in front of him at the moment.
The prince of Gotham, the ancient aristocrat of this city, the chairman of Wayne Group, the symbol of the old era of Gotham——
Bruce Wayne.
