The Invisible Woman—judging from the name, she seems like a superhero who can only become invisible.
But actually?
According to official data, the Invisible Woman's energy emission ability level, like Scarlet Witch Wanda's, is the highest level, Level 7—meaning she can release various forms of energy almost infinitely.
"Okay, I agree."
Susan sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.
She spent the whole night thinking about her future plans.
Indeed, since there's a high probability she can't go back, she has to find a way to survive in this world.
As for Luo Xing, to be honest, she was someone she met in this world.
The first impressions were all very good.
Rather than taking a gamble and going through the risks, it's better to stay here.
At least... this place feels a bit like home, and I don't have to be so tired anymore.
With a smile on her face, Susan sat down next to Luo Xing, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.
[Manhattan Breaking News: Urgent! Urgent! Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, has been kidnapped by terrorists in the Middle East and is now confirmed missing. No ransom demands have been received.]
[New York Midday Report: Tony Stark's disappearance causes Stark Industries stock to plummet; what does the future hold...?]
[Brooklyn Midday News: ...]
"It seems he's a big shot; all the radio stations are reporting on it as soon as he got into trouble."
Susan switched between TV channels, only to find that all the news was about Tony Stark's disappearance.
"You guessed right, he is indeed very important."
Luo Xing patted a small piggy bank on the coffee table. "This is ours."
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
Susan glanced at Luo Xing subconsciously, then remembered her identity, got up, went out, and opened the door.
Why didn't you call if there was something wrong?
Looking at Hill who followed Susan in, Luo Xing asked.
Chapter 43 S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Plea for Help
Hill sat down gracefully on the sofa opposite Luo Xing, put down the documents in her hand, and glanced at the television playing the news next to her.
"It seems you already know that Tony Stark was attacked."
Hill sat down gracefully on the sofa opposite Luo Xing, put down the documents in her hand, and glanced at the television playing the news next to her.
"It seems you already know that Tony Stark was attacked and is missing, his fate unknown."
"This attack was not an accident, but a premeditated kidnapping."
"There are only two possibilities: either there's a problem at the top of Stark Industries,"
"The second kind..."
Hill glanced at Susan, and after confirming that she was the person Nick Fury had registered yesterday, he whispered, "Nick Fury suspects that there is a spy planted in S.H.I.E.L.D."
As one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard Stark's son, S.H.I.E.L.D., would naturally not stand idly by.
Therefore, Nick Fury had already instructed S.H.I.E.L.D. field agents to record Tony Stark's daily schedule in case of any accidents.
But now, Tony Stark has only been in the Middle East for less than half a day when he was attacked. This kind of execution and efficiency definitely means that someone leaked Tony's specific itinerary.
"He should be more confident and get rid of the word 'doubt'."
Luo Xing smiled and said.
"You also believe there's a spy within our ranks who exposed Stark's itinerary?" Hill asked, frowning slightly.
"No, but I think it would be good for you to take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate."
Luo Xing naturally knew that the Hydra agent in S.H.I.E.L.D. had been unfairly blamed for this incident.
"Only Stark Industries' top management, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the military knew Stark's whereabouts."
Hill flipped through the documents on the table and said to Luo Xing.
Why not question the military?
Susan sat down curiously and asked.
She knew that the female agent in front of her hadn't let her leave because she already considered her one of Luo Xing's people, that is, one of her own.
Since that's the case, she doesn't need to pretend to be an outsider anymore; she can just ask any questions she has.
"The military would love to see Stark as their father; they have no reason to do so."
Hill shook his head and said.
The primary beneficiary of the various new weapons developed by Tony Stark is the military. They have a long-term cooperative relationship now, so what's the point of turning against their partner?
It could even be argued that if the current military had to make a choice, they would destroy Stark Industries rather than Tony Stark himself.
"Alright, how long has he been missing? It's been reported on TV, so it must have been quite a while, right?"
Luo Xing glanced at the TV screen and said.
He naturally wouldn't ask Hill why Nick Fury didn't ask him for help immediately.
It had only been two days since Coulson found the planet Lothar, which had escaped its seal.
Given Nick Fury's cunning and shrewd methods, he would naturally satisfy Luo Xing's demands first, and then slowly put forward his own ideas.
“It’s been almost half a month, and now the military is putting pressure on us, hoping we’ll send out level nine and ten agents to find Stark,” Hill said in a deep voice.
"I can help you, but I have one condition."
"A very simple request for you."
“This house might not be enough for us in the future, so please help me take down this street.”
Luo Xing tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Hill.
"I think you can talk to Stark about money; he would be more than willing to pay for his life."
Hill politely declined, saying that buying an entire street, especially in the economic heart of the Americas, was an expense she couldn't possibly agree to.
"Of course, we're not planning to make you pay."
Luo Xing smiled at Hill, appearing very generous. "What I need is for you to completely transfer this street to my name, and for no one else to interfere in anything concerning this street."
Having learned extradimensional magic and with the precedent of the Invisible Woman from another world, Luo Xing already had new ideas.
First and foremost, one must have an "ordinary" base of operations.
"This requirement... then why didn't you choose those villa areas yesterday?"
Hill was somewhat annoyed. Luo Xing's request was quite troublesome, after all, this was considered the center of New York, and there were too many ordinary people here.
If it were a less populated villa area, even if Luo Xing wanted to demolish a villa and build a septic tank on the spot, S.H.I.E.L.D. could handle it.
"When I'm ready to retire, I might move into a villa."
Luo Xing shrugged and said.
Hill had no choice but to use her communication device to contact Nick Fury. A few seconds later, she received a reply and looked up at Luo Xing: "He agreed."
"Pleasant to work with."
Luo Xing extended his hand to Hill.
"When do you plan to leave? You can let me know any supplementary supplies you need at any time."
Hill and Luo Xing shook hands and said.
"Wait a minute, let me find out Stark's exact location first."
Luo Xing reached into his pants pocket and started rummaging around.
"You have a way of finding out where Stark is?!"
Hill's eyes widened. He knew that this was the most difficult part of their rescue mission. If they knew where Stark was, their agents would be able to take down those terrorists with their old, worn-out weapons in no time.
And... what is he planning to bring out? A mythical navigation device? Heimdall's Horn? Captain Jack Sparrow's compass? Or some mysterious Eastern artifact?
Hill stared nervously at Luo Xing's hand in his pocket, watching him grasp something and slowly take it out.
The object was entirely black, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and possessed a remarkable artistic beauty…
Okay, it's the agent phone that S.H.I.E.L.D. gave him.
That's it?
Hill felt like he'd been tricked.
Why take out your phone? Are you calling Buddha or Jesus?

In order to protect the dimensions of Earth, every person and every place on Earth is the coordinate of the Supreme Master.
[Luo Xing: Are you there? Just a tool.]
After sending the message, Luo Xing put his phone in his pocket and waited for Gu Yi's reply.
"Um... are you casting some kind of spell?"
Hill stared at Luo Xing with a look of utter disbelief, while Susan beside him was also filled with curiosity.
"what?"
