Chapter 316 - LOST WEAPONS (1/2)

After Lin Rui returned home for a day off, he spoke to his parents about whether they wanted to work for Stark Industries or Oscorp. But, as Lin Rui predicted, his parents who already have stable jobs had no such plans. Still, Lin Rui’s parents are grateful to Tony and Harry for giving them the chance.

There is no other good way that Lin Rui can think of to protect his parents. He cannot force his parents to work at Stark Industries. Therefore, Lin Rui only exchanged two Advanced Guardian Symbols from the System Shop for his parents which cost him five thousand Reward Points.

“This is only thing that I can do for the time being, I hope Hydra won’t have time to make a move on my parents.” Already sitting in a daze in the cla.s.sroom, Lin Rui silently thinks about his own things, about how to destroy Hydra as soon as possible.

The best way to make Hydra give up on making a move on his parents is to beat them all up and push them behind bars or just outright kill them so that they don’t have a chance to mess with Lin Rui or his family again. Therefore, Lin Rui will hit Hydra in an all-round way from now on, and do his best to complete this goal.

After a few moments, Lin Rui turns to look at Peter, who is sitting next to him. In contrast to Lin Rui’s current lack of interest in the cla.s.s, Peter is paying attention in the cla.s.s. As his eyes pa.s.s over Peter, Lin Rui’s eyes move to the back of the room. There is an empty seat. It is Tom’s.

Tom has been missing for more than a week now and the Smiths can’t reach him. At first, they had thought that Tom was out having fun and he forgot to contact his family, but now the Smiths already know that something is wrong. When Lin Rui came back yesterday, he learned that the Smiths had already reported Tom’s disappearance to the police. But so far there has been no news.

Looking at Tom’s empty seat, Lin Rui was feeling very uncomfortable. Lin Rui was feeling even down when he remembers how haggard Tom’s parents were when the Smiths came to see him last night to find out if anything was wrong with Tom before he disappeared.

“Don’t worry, Tom, I will save you and get you back here!” Looking at Tom’s empty seat, Lin Rui swears silently in his heart.

“Hey! Jackson, are you okay?” Just as Lin Rui looked at Tom’s seat in a daze, Peter suddenly poked him and asked quietly.

Lin Rui’s little moves have long been seen by the teacher in the cla.s.s, but Lin Rui is already the best student in the cla.s.s, and he often works as an a.s.sistant beside Tony Stark. Therefore, the teachers in the school do not care much about his frequent leave of absence or daze in cla.s.s. However, Lin Rui always influences others in this way.

“I’m okay, just thinking about Tom, his parents are very sad now.” At Peter’s warning, Lin Rui turns his head and whispers back.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely save Tom!” Peter said seriously knowing what Lin Rui was worried about.

“Yes, definitely!”

…

After school, Lin Rui plans to go to Tony and talk to him about joining forces to deal with Hydra but his cell phone suddenly rings. After taking out his mobile, he read the screen and realized that it was Coulson. Is there news about Hydra?!! Lin Rui’s spirit quickly picked up.

“Agent Coulson, is there any news about Hydra?” Lin Rui asked immediately after the call was connected, and Peter near him was also surprised and got closer.

“Uh … no, Mirage Knight, there is no news about Hydra as they have gone deep into hiding for the time being.” After hearing Lin Rui’s question, Coulson on the other side of the phone answered awkwardly. If Hydra could be found so easily, they would not have been able to lurk inside s.h.i.+ELD for so many years.

“So what’s wrong, why are you contacting me? Except for Hydra, I don’t want to be distracted by other things.” Upon hearing that there was no news about Hydra, Lin Rui’s tone went down instantly.

“Well, the follow-up cleanup of the New Jersey Hydra Base is almost complete. Inside, we found a Blade that appears to be your weapon. That’s why I called to see if you wanted me to deliver that blade to you.” Ignoring Lin Rui’s change of tone, Coulson continued.

It turned out that s.h.i.+ELD had almost completed the follow-up cleanup of the Hydra base, and had also found the Thunder Blade buried in the ruins. Because Lin Rui had used the Thunder Blade many times in his previous fights, s.h.i.+ELD also clearly knew that the Blade belongs to Mirage Knight, so Coulson made such a call.
