Leo thought that a passenger was quarreling with the London Airport staff because the flight was delayed for too long, but after taking a closer look, he realized that was not the case.
A group of more than twenty strong men in black clothes came from the corridor on the right. They formed a circle, with three people in the middle, and were walking towards Gate 19 where Leo and others were waiting for their flight.
When they got closer, Leo finally saw clearly who these three people were through the group of strong men.
The first person to walk was Happy Hogan. He held a leather bag in his arms and looked around cautiously.
The two people following behind were talking in low voices as they walked, and they turned out to be Tony Stark and Obidia Stan.
Leo pricked up his ears, pretended to lower his head to read the newspaper, and eavesdropped quietly.
"...Tony, I'm glad you have figured it out and want to go back and take your father's place. I have prepared the special plane and it is at gate 19."
"Thank you, Obi, for all your troubles during this time."
"It's okay, this is all as it should be."
Obediya groaned for two seconds,
"However, I can ask, what happened that made you suddenly give up the idea of traveling around the world and want to go back again?"
Finally, Obediah was afraid that Tony would misunderstand, so he explained again.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."
"Nothing special."
Tony smiled,
"It's just that I came across an interesting thing in England, and I thought I could build it, or even do it better."
"Is it a weapon?"
Obediah had been working as an arms dealer with Howard for half his life, and this was the first thing that came to his mind.
"That's right..."
The two of them had already entered gate 19. The distance was too far, and Leo couldn't hear clearly what was said below.
However, hearing what Tony said just now, Leo suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I always feel that besides women, Tony suddenly seems to have other goals in life...
"Boss, those people who came in just now seem to be people from Stark Industries?"
Old Tom also watched Tony and others enter the boarding gate.
"I seemed to have seen Obidyar Stan's bald head just now."
"Passengers please note that flight ac2333 from London, England to Toronto, Canada will take off in 40 minutes, and boarding will begin in 10 minutes. Passengers on flight ac2333 are asked to prepare for boarding."
Suddenly, the boarding announcement came over the radio.
"Shet, could it be that Stark Industries' private jet has seized our boarding gate?!"
Old Tom realized it later and said in surprise,
"I don't know who Obediya picked up just now."
Leo:......
It seems that in the eyes of older people, Obediah's reputation is still much louder than that of Tony Stark!
After a lot of twists and turns, Leo's plane finally arrived at the New York Airport.
At this time, it was already 3:30 midnight New York time.
Bucky had already driven his car and was waiting outside the New York Airport. When Leo and Old Tom got into the car, Bucky asked:
"How's it going? Did your trip to the UK go well?"
"It's not bad. I met a few unexpected people and gained some unexpected things."
Leo was smiling,
"Let's drive home first. Wait until tomorrow morning. Bucky, call the Red Fist brothers and gather at the security department of El Technology Company. I have something to arrange."
…
At 10 o'clock the next morning, the security department of El Technology Company.
Bucky and the Rainbow brothers sat on both sides of the conference table, with Leo sitting on the main seat in the middle.
"Bucky, how many people are there in the company's security department now?"
"All the original gang members in Hell's Kitchen, mainly the Wheel Gang, have been recruited by me."
Bucky thought for a moment,
"Currently, there are more than 700 people in the Security Department. Some of them work as security guards in the company, while others maintain order in Mingde Street and other neighborhoods."
"Is it still necessary for a place like Mingde Street to exist? Is there any way to ban it?"
Leo frowned.
"At present, it seems that there is no good solution."
Bucky was also troubled by this matter,
"Those chicken girls, who have no other means of making a living, rashly shut down the secret business in the bar, I'm afraid they will all starve to death.
Moreover, the strong young men in Hell's Kitchen also need a place to exert their strength, otherwise they will cause trouble. Therefore, Mingde Street still needs to exist."
"Then we'll talk about it later, don't worry about it now."
Leo didn't dwell too much on this aspect. He thought about it again and asked,
"What are the origins of the more than 700 people in the Security Department?"
Bucky knew all of his younger brothers’ backgrounds:
"Most of them were gangsters. A dozen of them had worked as security guards. Two of them even served as soldiers in the U.S. Army, but they committed crimes in the barracks and were kicked out."
"How about loyalty?"
Bucky smiled:
"Well, the loyalty is the same as that of Brother Hong Fist."
"Well, that's good."
Leo nodded, and a plan gradually took shape in his mind.
"Bucky, pick out 300 people from the security department, form a team, and ask them to go to California to find someone for me."
"Who are you looking for?"
Leo picked up something he could talk about and told it to Bucky. After Bucky knew it, he thought for a moment and said,
"Let's do this, Orange Fist, Yellow Fist, Green Fist, Green Fist, the four of you, go pick out 300 people and drive to California to find them."
The few people who were named nodded and carefully followed Bucky's detailed arrangements.
Bucky was worthy of being a scout. With a few words from Leo, he was able to locate the location in a big city in California.
In this way, there are only more than twenty cities that need to be searched.
According to Bucky's analysis, finding this person's whereabouts is not a big problem, but it will take some time, ranging from a few months to a year.
Leo nodded, and then all he had to do was wait patiently.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Cripple's reputation and channels are guaranteed. It was an extraordinary period when the collection was lost in London, England, ports were blocked and smugglers were arrested.
Cripple still delivered Leo's Viper 2nd generation armor and vibranium products on time three days later.
On the basement floor of the El Building, at the entrance of Leo's private laboratory.
Leo easily carried two big bags and walked in.
"Buzz! Master, welcome back."
Stim could only hear his voice but not see his person.
Leo ignored it and carried two large bags to the storage cabinet where the Viper 2nd generation armor was stored. He used his mechanical strength to put the components into categories.
Throwing the big bag aside, Leo picked up the vibranium shield, picked up the vibranium hoe, and walked excitedly to the experimental table.
With a clang, he threw the shield and hoe onto the experimental table. His hand gently ran across the surface of the vibranium, as gently as caressing a beautiful creature.
In the eyes of mechanics, metal like vibranium is just like beautiful women!
Leo is patient and is about to start work:
"Stim, it's time to work.
Let us study how this vibranium needs to be perfectly integrated with the Viper armor."
"Buzz! Okay, master."
Squeaky!
Stim, who didn't know what he was doing in a corner of the laboratory, suddenly pushed a trolley and ran excitedly towards the experimental table.
