Chapter 70: Bear Consulate Official: Lynn Hall is Not a Good Person!
“I can make the decision. If we can truly catch those spies, then I can apply for a fifty-thousand-dollar informant fee for you.”
“With this fifty thousand dollars, your daughter can attend a better school.”
“So, prison or money, you choose!”
Listening to Lynn’s words, which were a mix of threats and incentives, Valiant picked up a lighter and lit the cigarette.
After taking a deep drag, Valiant said, “I hope you haven’t deceived me, Detective. This all started twenty years ago.”
“Boris · Aleksey and I grew up together. Then, when we were eight, our parents and Boris’s parents were murdered!”
“Later, Boris chose to join the army, but I wasn’t selected due to health reasons. However, all these years, we never gave up investigating the murderer!”
“Later, Boris was selected for the KGB, while I dropped out of school. It wasn’t until seven years ago that I suddenly received a call from Boris.”
At this point, Valiant took another deep drag from his cigarette: “Actually, at that time, I had already given up investigating the truth behind my parents’ murder because I already had a family.”
“But Boris, through the KGB, investigated and found that the person who killed our parents had transformed into an dispatched spy.”
“I finally came to New York after Boris persuaded me several times.”
Looking up at Lynn, Valiant said, “The Andre couple, whom Boris killed, were actually subordinates of that spy. Boris also learned the spy’s hiding place from Andre!”
After receiving the list from Valiant, Lynn Hall asked Alice to retrieve the identity information of these individuals.
As the names appeared one by one on the notebook, Lynn discovered that some of these individuals were teachers, while others were Doctors.
There was even one spy who worked in the city hall.
Looking at these individuals, Lynn closed his notebook and said to Valiant, “Are you sure everyone on this list is a Bear spy?”
“Of course!”
Facing Lynn’s skepticism, Valiant said very seriously, “My memory is excellent. These are all people Boris · Aleksey told me about. I definitely won’t remember incorrectly.”
“The superior of these spies is named Angelina, and she has been working at the New York consulate. Boris said she was the one who killed our parents!”
Signaling Sean to continue the interrogation，Lin En stood up and left the interrogation room with his notebook.。
A few minutes later, in Duke’s office.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many Bear spies in New York. I’m afraid there will be even more in Washington.”
After glancing at the names on the list, Duke said to Lynn, “You’ve done an excellent job with this, Lynn. As long as we can apprehend these spies, your and my resumes will look even better.”
“Moreover, this will be beneficial for my competition to become the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and it will also make it smoother for you to take over the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation in the future.”
“Now, immediately lead your subordinates to apprehend all these spies!”
“Yes, Director!”
Hearing Duke’s order, Lynn nodded: “However, Director, according to Valiant’s confession, Angelina has always worked at the consulate. If we forcefully enter the consulate to make arrests, it might cause a diplomatic protest from Bear.”
“If the Department of Justice holds us accountable then, you might have to bear the pressure. How about we wait until Angelina leaves the consulate before making the arrest?”
Well, in front of Duke, Lynn naturally had to pretend to consider everything for him.
Sure enough, hearing Lynn say this, Duke smiled: “Don’t worry. Even if Bear protests, the ones with the headache will be those guys in the White House. The consulate is not an embassy.”
“Understood!”
Nodding, Lynn stood up and left Duke’s office.
As soon as Lynn left, Duke chuckled and said, “Pierce, I told you my judgment was right!”
As soon as Duke’s voice fell, Alexander Pierce’s laughter came from the phone on the table: “Indeed, he is a very capable and thorough young man.”
“With him helping you, you might really be able to become the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters.”
“Duke, do you want to make a deal with me? Give me Lynn Hall, and you can pick any of my subordinates.”
“Don’t even think about it.”
Hearing Pierce’s suggestion, James Duke said, “You should continue working hard on that Insight Project with your subordinates.”
“I’m planning to hand over all those young people who are still wet behind the ears to Lynn to manage after a while.”
Hearing that Duke valued Lynn so much, even intending to hand over the young generation of HYDRA members he controlled to Lynn for management.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce frowned and said, “Are you sure you want to do that? No matter how capable Lynn Hall is, he is not…”
“I believe my judgment will not be wrong!”
Listening to Duke’s crisp answer, Pierce frowned, then said a few words before hanging up the phone.
Placing the phone on the table, Pierce thought for a few seconds, then pressed the button on the table.
Soon, there was a knock on the office door.
New York, Bear Consulate.
Getting out of the car with the fully armed action team, Lynn took a submachine gun and made a tactical gesture, looking at the abnormally closed consulate gate.
Upon seeing Lynn’s tactical gesture, the members of the action team immediately approached the consulate gate in an offensive formation.
The leading tactical team aimed at the surroundings, ready to attack at the first sign of any disturbance.
Meanwhile, another group of members took out professional equipment and swiftly broke open the abnormally closed iron gate.
The moment the iron gate was opened, the first tactical team immediately rushed into the courtyard.
Sean kicked open the monitoring room next to the iron gate and found a body on the ground.
Seeing this, Sean immediately went to the monitor.
The monitor screen showed every corner outside the consulate, but no abnormalities were found.
“Boss, all the security personnel of the consulate’s security department have been shot dead, and there’s nothing unusual outside.”
Hearing Sean’s words in his earpiece, Lynn grabbed his submachine gun and led his team into the consulate building!
Kicking open the consulate door, they saw several people in uniform lying in pools of blood in the hall.
The consulate was eerily quiet, as if everyone had vanished.
He led his team in a fan-shaped tactical search on the first floor, but found no one in any of the rooms.
Upon reaching the second floor, Lynn saw unfinished steak on the dining table and automatically burned cigarette ashes, and he knew that the people in the consulate must have been suddenly attacked and then hastily evacuated.
“Sean, use the thermal imager to scan and find the safe room in the consulate.”
Hearing Lynn’s order, Sean immediately had the first team use the pre-prepared thermal imager to scan.
Meanwhile, Lynn continued to search with his team towards the third floor.
Upon reaching the third floor, his Spider-Sense immediately gave a danger warning.
He instinctively raised his gun and aimed forward, only to see a grenade flying towards them.
“FUXX!”
He used the gun stock to smash the grenade into the room across the hall, and the next moment, the grenade exploded instantly.
“Boom!”
The violent explosion blew the contents of that room to smithereens, but Lynn rushed towards the direction from which the grenade was thrown at the first instant.
When he saw a pistol poking out from around the corner ahead, Lynn fired without hesitation.
“Da da da”
A burst of bullets hit the pistol, and Boris, who was trying to sneak attack, instantly pulled his hand back.
Hearing footsteps rapidly approaching, Boris ran towards the window without hesitation.
Just as he was about to reach the window to jump out, Lynn suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing Lynn appear out of thin air, Boris · Aleksey gripped his dagger and thrust it directly at Lynn.
Boris · Aleksey himself was a former Agent, so his movements were naturally very agile.
However, in front of Lynn, who possessed Spider-Sense, Boris’s assassination attempt was like slow motion.
After dodging the dagger that was aimed at his heart by sidestepping, Lynn grabbed Boris’s arm with one hand and flung him with force, throwing Boris like a sandbag.
“Bang!”
His body slammed heavily against the wall, and the moment Boris landed, he immediately reached for a pen with a poisoned needle, ready to fire.
But before he could aim the pen at Lynn, the next second, Lynn closed in, grabbed his arm, and twisted it forcefully.
“Crack…”
A crisp sound rang out, and Boris’s arm was directly broken by Lynn!
“Ah!”
The intense pain made Boris instinctively cry out, but Lynn’s fists rained down on him like a storm!
Lynn’s attack seemed incredibly fierce, but in reality, Lynn was holding back his strength.
If Lynn had used his full strength, Boris · Aleksey would probably have already turned into a puddle of mud!
By the time the action team members rushed over, Boris · Aleksey had already been beaten unconscious.
Waving his hand, signaling his subordinates to take him down, Lynn looked around, then beckoned to Dennis.
“Boss.”
“The consulate staff should be hiding in the safe room by now, so go to the data room and contact Joey. Have her remotely control the computer to copy the consulate’s data!”
Hearing Lynn’s order, Dennis immediately nodded.
Leaving the action team to continue their search, Lynn put away his gun and walked towards the second floor.
“Boss, are you alright!”
Upon reaching the second floor, he saw Sean, who had heard the commotion, rushing over anxiously.
Seeing that Lynn was fine, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief: “I heard the explosion and gunshots just now, it scared me. Boss, if there’s ever such a dangerous situation again, please let me lead the team!”
“After all, a supervisor doesn’t need to go out on field duty!”
Hearing Sean say that, Lynn lit a cigarette and said, “Not going out on field duty, just sitting in the office all day?”
“It’s also good to have Barbara massage you every day. If that doesn’t work, I can introduce you to my girlfriend’s colleague, her colleague…”
“Get lost, let’s talk about serious business first. Have you found the safe room?”
“Found it, it’s in the consulate’s Underground Room!”
Hearing Lynn’s question, Sean immediately said, “I didn’t expect there to be a hidden safe room in that Underground Room. If it weren’t for the life detector scanning images of a group of people, I really wouldn’t have found it.”
Bringing the action team members to the Underground Room, the hidden safe room could not be opened from the outside at this moment.
He took out his phone and called the consulate official inside the safe room. Once the call connected, Lynn said, “Mr. Consulate Official, Boris · Aleksey, who attacked you, has been apprehended by our Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
“You can now bring your subordinates out of the safe room!”
Hearing Lynn Hall’s voice on the phone, the consulate official slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
He remembered when Lynn Hall brought people to him, requesting to investigate Boris’s file.
He had made every excuse and created difficulties, yet now he and his people had nearly died at the hands of Boris · Aleksey.
In the end, they were saved by Lynn Hall, whom he had deliberately made things difficult for.
Thinking of all this, the consulate official couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.
Opening the safe room, the consulate official proactively stepped forward and extended his hand to Lynn, thanking him sincerely: “Thank you, Mr. Lynn Hall, thank you for saving us.”
"I apologize for the Boris · Aleksey file incident, and I hope you won't mind!"
"I don't mind, of course I don't mind."
Lynn said with a smile, looking at the consul who was sincerely thanking him.
After speaking, Lynn waved his hand, and in the next second, the action team immediately stepped forward and forcibly arrested Angelina and all seven people on the list.
Seeing this scene, the consul immediately looked at Lynn: "Why is this, Mr. Lynn Hall? Your order to forcibly take away people from our consulate is deliberately provoking a conflict between the Mao Bear and America."
"I hope you can give me an explanation, otherwise I will—"
"Mr. Consul, according to the evidence our Federal Bureau of Investigation has, the true identities of the seven people led by Angelina are spies, and they have been stealing government secrets."
"Therefore, I have the right to arrest them!"
After having his subordinates take the people away, Lynn Hall smiled at the consul who was glaring at him: "You don't need to thank me for saving your lives."
"Of course, if you're willing to write a thank you letter, I'd be happy to accept it."
"By the way, that Boris · Aleksey guy really messed up your consulate, so I suggest, for the sake of the Mao Bear country's face, you'd better send someone to clean it up!"
After speaking, Lynn led his team away.
"F*ck!"
Watching Lynn's departing back, the consul cursed angrily.
He had just felt a little ashamed for having made things difficult for him regarding the file.
Now it seems that he was right; the U.S. official organizations truly have no good people!
Inside the car.
"Haha, Boss, I just saw that consul's face turn green."
Back in the car, Sean laughed as he described the consul's expression.
He had already heard from Alice about the Boss going to see the consul and being given a file with only a name and photo.
So when he saw the consul's expression as if he had eaten shit, Sean felt particularly pleased.
Lynn also chuckled, watching Sean laugh: "How's Alice doing?"
"Boss, Alice has already taken people to the city hall for arrests, and at the same time, the brothers from the bureau's action team are also making arrests according to the list."
"We estimate that in at most half an hour, we'll be able to arrest all those damn spies."
Lynn Hall nodded slightly at Sean's answer.
Leaning back in the car with his eyes closed, Lynn gradually relaxed.
He didn't expect that the Iron Curtain, which carried the nuclear bomb this time, would actually uncover more than thirty spies.
This should be the largest spy case cracked this year, right?
Back at the Federal Bureau of Investigation building, the Agents who had gone out to perform arrests were also rushing back.
These people were professionals, so there was no need to worry about those spies committing suicide after their identities were exposed.
However, speaking of this, Lynn Hall suddenly remembered that hiding cyanide and other deadly poisons in one's teeth and biting them to commit suicide when one's identity is revealed seems to be a HYDRA tradition!
After all the spies were arrested, Lynn once again went to Duke's office.
"Director, all thirty-six spies have been apprehended."
"Well done!"
Hearing Lynn's report, James Duke satisfactorily handed Lynn a cigar and said, "Select another 16 criminals from the New York prison who have sentences of several hundred years."
"Anyway, they'll never get out in this lifetime, so we might as well just make it fifty-two spies on the list!"
"Understood!"
Hearing Duke's instruction, Lynn nodded with a smile.
Who exactly was a spy, of course, was decided by them.
When the press conference was held, the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation cracking 52 spies at once would be more shocking than 36 spies.
"Oh, right, tomorrow you'll come with me to Washington. Such a big matter, of course, needs to be reported to the headquarters and the Department of Justice."
"And while we're at it, we'll hold a press conference at headquarters, and this time you'll be the one to explain the case to the reporters!"
Lynn nodded when he heard Duke say that.
Lynn was very willing to be in the spotlight!
Inside the Department of Justice conference room.
"In the previous Felton Family cannibalism case, Lynn Hall uncovered more than two hundred cannibals hidden in the country."
"This matter caused a huge stir, and the President also wanted to award him an Medal of Honor for Lynn Hall's outstanding contributions, but the result was ruined by some people who hadn't even received a medal themselves."
Tapping his finger lightly on the table, the Deputy Attorney General glanced at Matthew Davis, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant, and said, "I know what some people's intentions were when they did that."
"Isn't it just that his nephew also serves as an Assistant Supervisor at the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation? Once Lynn Hall receives the Medal of Honor, then the Supervisor position won't be available to his nephew."
"But what was the result? Someone's nephew was unpromising, not only bankrupting a business family through underhanded means, but also occupying their Villa, and even not letting go of their girlfriend."
"Tsk tsk... The result was that he forced them to a dead end, leading to a mutual destruction."
"Enough!"
Listening to the Deputy Attorney General's sarcasm, Matthew Davis slammed the table directly and said, "Laurent, you don't need to be so sarcastic here."
"The reason I did that at the time was because Lynn Hall was too young. He was only 24 years old. If he made a mistake after receiving the Presidential Medal of Honor, wouldn't it make the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation a laughingstock?"
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can certainly bring it up to the Justice Minister!"
"Heh!"
Hearing Matthew Davis's righteous tone, Laurent Conley chuckled: "Yes, for the sake of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's reputation, you, the Deputy Justice Minister, have truly worried yourself sick."
"Unfortunately, the young man you worried would make the Federal Bureau of Investigation a laughingstock successfully took the Supervisor position, and then once again cracked a large-scale spy case, even directly uprooting the Mao Bear spy organization, with all fifty-two spies arrested."
"And the nephew, on whom someone placed high hopes, was instead...heh."
Facing Laurent Conley's sarcastic tone, Matthew Davis angrily slammed the table repeatedly.
Seeing this, Justice Minister Jeff Russell smiled and interrupted their argument: "Alright, alright, this meeting isn't for listening to you two argue."
"Let's discuss Lynn Hall's reward."
"What's there to discuss?"
Hearing the Justice Minister's words, Laurent Conley said, "Justice Minister, Lynn Hall's past record has already proven that his loyalty is beyond doubt."
"And the Felton Family cannibalism case, as well as the Mao Bear spy organization case, have proven his outstanding ability."
"Furthermore, the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation died in Los Angeles, so I suggest that Lynn Hall temporarily serve as the Deputy Director."
Hearing Laurent Conley's proposal, Matthew Davis immediately retorted, "I object. I admit that Lynn Hall's ability is excellent, but he is too young after all."
"What's wrong with being young? Who says young people can't bear heavy responsibilities? Don't forget Captain America back then—"
"Is wartime the same as peacetime? And even Captain America went through layers of selection and testing!"
"Isn't Lynn Hall the same? Do you think he became a Supervisor without going through tests?"
Watching the two argue again, Jeff Russell waved his hand, signaling them to stop.
After the two stopped arguing, Jeff Russell spoke: "Laurent is right, but Matthew is also right."
"Lynn Hall's ability is indeed outstanding, but we also need to consider his age."
Tapping lightly on the table, Jeff Russell said, "How about this, the position of Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation will remain temporarily vacant, but Lynn Hall's commendations cannot be less."
"Therefore, I propose that Lynn Hall receive this year's Medal of Honor awarded by the President, and also receive the Congressional Gold Medal."
"I approve!"
As soon as Jeff Russell finished speaking, Laurent immediately expressed his approval.
As for Matthew Davis, sitting opposite him, he thought for a few seconds, then pinched his nose and accepted it!
Seeing that neither of them objected, the others in the conference room naturally also expressed their approval.
After seeing everyone agree, Jeff Russell stood up and said, "Since no one objects, then this matter is settled."
"Tomorrow, James Duke will bring Lynn Hall to Washington, so Lawrence, you go and communicate with Congress, and I will go to meet the President!"
After speaking, Jeff Russell left the conference room.
After the meeting ended, Laurent Conley glanced at Matthew Davis, then smiled and left the conference room.
He never intended for Lynn Hall to become the Deputy Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation right now.
The reason for his proposal was simply to suggest tearing down the roof before opening a window.
After all, if everyone disagreed with tearing down the roof, then opening a window would be much simpler.
Watching Laurent leave, Matthew Davis snorted coldly.
Matthew Davis actually had no dissatisfaction with Lynn Hall.
And even his own nephew, Kenny Davis, had praised Lynn's ability to him more than once.
He had even said at the time that once he became a Supervisor, he would definitely try to win over Lynn Hall.
But now, his nephew was dead.
Thinking of this, Matthew Davis looked thoughtfully at Laurent's departing back.
Laurent's actions were very likely due to his appreciation of Lynn Hall's abilities, wanting to accumulate support for him for things in a few years.
Since that was the case, why couldn't he do the same?
After all, he had no animosity with Lynn Hall, and Kenny's death had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he was the Deputy Justice Minister!
Thinking of this, Matthew Davis chuckled, then stood up and left the conference room.
He really wanted to see the exasperated look on that damn Laurent's face when Lynn Hall was brought into his own camp.
New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Looking at the text message on his phone, Duke smiled at Lynn: "It's done. Tomorrow, after you and I go to Washington, the President will personally award you the Medal of Honor."
"At the same time, you will also receive the Congressional Gold Medal."
Hearing Duke say this, Lynn asked curiously, "Director, have our people made their move?"
Facing Lynn's quiet question, Duke smiled and shook his head: "He's not really 'our' person; he's just benefited a lot from our organization over the years!"
"But there are indeed our people around the President!"
The news of the Mao Bear soldier piloting a nuclear-armed fighter jet to defect to the United States was still making waves.
As a result, the news of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation successfully dismantling the Mao Bear spy organization and arresting 52 spies once again caused a huge sensation across America.
When the name Lynn Hall once again entered the public's sight through the media.
Almost everyone in America knew that the national hero who had previously dismantled the cannibal organization had once again made an outstanding contribution to the security of this country!
"Oh my God, fifty-two Mao Bear spies? This is simply insane!"
"Fortunately, we have Lynn Hall. God bless America!"
“Are those CIA guys idiots? They can't even find so many spies?”
“FUXX! A government that only knows how to collect taxes, FUXX! Stupid President, thankfully we still have Lynn!”
“The Big Bear has spies, but we have Lynn!”
Through the fermentation of major news stations and the internet, overnight, all of America knew that Lynn Hall would receive an honorary medal personally awarded by the President in Washington today.
Many local residents in Washington spontaneously took to the streets to cheer for Lynn Hall, this hero.
Even outside the White House, it was packed with enthusiastic citizens.
Seeing the public's enthusiasm, the President, uncharacteristically, directly ordered the award ceremony and interview to be held on the White House lawn.
Not only that, he also ordered that the public be allowed to participate.
The President's impromptu decision gave the Secret Service a headache.
But facing the President's “people-friendly” request, the Secret Service could only raise security measures to the highest level.
Inside the White House.
Listening to the Department of Justice explain the process, and even thoughtfully preparing a speech for him.
Lynn Hall appeared very excited on the surface, but inwardly, he curled his lips.
What a load of rubbish, this honorary medal, just a bunch of empty gestures. Who the hell wants to be a hero of the United States?
Instead of this medal, it would be more practical to just give him dozens of times more bonus money.
After dealing with the Department of Justice, Lynn surveyed the White House, subconsciously looking for weak points he could invade.
After all, Lynn had always had a dream in his heart: to assemble a beautiful female army to flatten the White House, capture the President alive, and dissolve the U.S. Federal government!
While he was constantly lost in thought, a middle-aged man pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in.
“Lynn Hall!”
Smiling, he came before Lynn, and the middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction: “Not bad, at such a young age, you've cracked such a major case. Truly worthy of being America’s hero!”
Looking at the person who appeared before him, Lynn Hall stood up and said: “Thank you for your praise, Director Davis, I just did what was within my duties!”
This middle-aged man in front of him was Matthew Davis, the uncle of Kenny Davis, whom he had framed and killed.
It was just that Lynn was not clear what this guy's purpose was for seeking him out.
“Haha, you are too modest, Lynn. I've seen your file, it's very good. Keep up the hard work, I have high hopes for you to become the Deputy Director!”
Saying that, he even patted Lynn's shoulder affectionately, like an elder.
If it were someone else, being favored by a big shot who managed their department, and being offered a pie in the sky, they would probably be overjoyed already. But Lynn only felt a wave of disgust.
That's it?
Who can't promise something? If he wants to recruit him, he needs to show some real benefits!
And for something already in his pocket, how could it be his turn to promise?
After a few friendly words with Lynn, Matthew Davis left the lounge.
“Boss, this is already the fifth group of people. Does this prove that you are now valued by the higher-ups?”
Helping Lynn straighten his suit, Barbara smiled and said: “The Director of the headquarters, Jessica’s Deputy Director father, the Justice Minister, the Deputy Attorney General, plus this one.”
“I always feel that you are about to be promoted again, Boss!”
Hearing Barbara's words, Lynn smiled without a sound.
Barbara didn't know that there were many factions within the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters and the Department of Justice!
“By the way, have Uncle George and Aunt Helen, and Gwen, all arrived?”
Facing Lynn's question, Barbara smiled and said: “They have all arrived. You are receiving an honorary medal personally awarded by the President today. For such a grand ceremony, family members are naturally also invited.”
“I heard that the Deputy Director of the Secret Service personally went to New York to invite your family to attend the ceremony.”
“However, since you have to recite a speech, they didn't come to disturb you.”
Hearing Barbara say that, Lynn nodded.
Perhaps Gwen was incredibly happy at this moment.
Half an hour later.
The President stood on the makeshift podium on the lawn, facing hundreds of media reporters and over two thousand enthusiastic citizens below, giving an impassioned speech.
Below, Gwen sat beside Lynn, her palm sweaty as she held his hand.
“So nervous?”
Looking at Gwen's happy and excited expression, Lynn was quite calm and composed.
It seemed he didn't take any of this to heart at all.
“Of course! Oh my goodness, that's an honorary medal personally awarded by the President! Dad said this is different from the Medal of Freedom; not just anyone can get it!”
Expressing her excited emotions in a low voice, Gwen was truly happy for Lynn.
Uncle George, beside them, looked at Lynn with eyes full of relief.
This was the child he and Helen had personally raised since he was six years old!
On the podium.
“In combat with the enemy, Lynn Hall showed extraordinary fearlessness, risking his life. He solved one major and heinous case after another, and also crushed the Big Bear's conspiracy.”
“He represents the great spirit of courage, justice, and fearlessness of our America.”
At this point, the President made an inviting gesture towards Lynn Hall below the stage: “Please welcome our national hero, Lynn Hall!”
Hearing the President's words, all the cameras were now aimed at Lynn Hall.
And the crowd behind the media erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers.
After hugging Gwen, who was so excited she almost cried, Lynn then hugged Aunt Helen and Uncle George, who were already in tears.
“Go, my child, you deserve this. I am truly proud of you!”
Patting Lynn's back hard, Uncle George's voice was filled with excited trembling.
At this moment, he felt proud and honored to have a child like Lynn!
At the same time, inside S.H.I.E.L.D.
“This is the young man you've always wanted to recruit?”
Watching him walk onto the stage and receive the medal personally from the President, Alexander Pierce smiled at Nick Fury: “It seems your recruitment plan is going to fall through now!”
Hearing Pierce's words, Nick Fury stared at Lynn on the television, then said: “It is indeed a bit regrettable, he is truly very suitable for S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“Enough of that, Pierce, I want to talk to you about the World Security Council's budget for this quarter.”
“Thank you for everything you've done for this country!”
After awarding Lynn the honorary medal, the President shook hands with Lynn, then handed the microphone to Lynn.
Inside the detention room in Morocco.
Watching Lynn Hall's spirited speech on the television, with the President on stage and officials below applauding him, and even the citizens spontaneously cheering for him.
Ivan Vanko suddenly said: “Tony Stark, did you intentionally have the Guard tune the TV to this channel just to watch his speech?”
“That's right.”
Hearing Ivan Vanko's question, Tony Stark shrugged: “Is something wrong?”
“Nothing wrong, after all, people who are about to enter the grave, after a period of reckless abandon, always want to take some beautiful memories with them into the cold coffin.”
“What do you mean?”
Hearing Ivan Vanko's words, Tony Stark spread his hands and said: “You'd better be clear, the one who's been caught and brought in now is you, not me.”
“I think there must be some prisoners in the Moroccan prison who would like your type.”
“But don't say, Lynn and I seem to be very compatible. He destroyed the Big Bear's spy organization, and I captured a Big Bear fugitive who wanted to attack me.”
“I think the people in this prison will definitely be grateful to me for sending them a ‘partner’.”
Facing Tony Stark's sharp tongue, Ivan Vanko didn't care: “Are you still subconsciously hoping he can save you?”
“But I think you're going to be disappointed this time. Lynn Hall could save you from the Middle East Desert, and help you defeat your uncle on the streets of New York.”
“But this time, you're dead!”
At this point, Ivan Vanko stared into Tony Stark's eyes: “The feeling of palladium poisoning must be very uncomfortable!”
Tony Stark, who had been somewhat playful and sharp-tongued, instantly became serious when he heard Ivan Vanko mention palladium poisoning.
“How did you know?”
“Heh, of course I know, Tony, you're not the only genius in this World.”
Sitting on the ground, leaning his body against the wall of the detention room, Ivan Vanko stared into Tony's eyes and said word by word: “This is just the appetizer, Tony Stark.”
“I will slowly make you lose everything, and take back everything your Stark family owes our family!”
Hearing Ivan Vanko's words, Tony frowned, wanting to question him.
But seeing the guy close his eyes and say nothing more, Tony Stark had no choice but to stand up and say: “Although I don't know what you're talking about, you want to take what belongs to me? You'll have to get out of this prison first.”
With that, Tony directly left the detention room.
Outside.
“Tony.”
“Don't worry, I'm fine, just met a lunatic.”
Shrugging at Pepper, Tony Stark suddenly said: “Pepper, if I take a plane to Washington now, can I still make it?”
“You can make it to the dinner, after all, according to tradition, whenever someone receives an honorary medal or a Medal of Freedom, they attend a White House dinner.”
“Then forget it.”
Hearing Pepper say that, Tony walked and said: “I don't like facing the ugly faces of those politicians, oh my god, just thinking about their fake smiles makes me want to vomit.”
“By the way, did you keep an eye on Anne Hathaway's schedule as I asked?”
“Tony!”
“I said, that's what I promised Lynn. As for whether he can get to taste this actress known as the Princess of New York, that depends on his own ability.”
Walking and discussing how to be Lynn's wingman, Tony Stark seemed to not take Ivan Vanko's attack to heart.
However, when he returned to New York and lifted his shirt in front of the mirror.
Seeing the blood vessels around the Arc Reactor on his chest all swollen and blackish-purple, Tony Stark's expression was a little dim.
“Jarvis, how much longer do you think I have to live?”
Hearing Tony's question, Jarvis replied: “Sir, I don't think things are at their worst yet. Perhaps we can find other ways.”
“Also, we could try a different vegetable juice. I know there's a plant whose chlorophyll can…”
