chapter 0428 part 2
"No, no, he just took a nap in this Universe. I'll tell the Boss, and you can take him away now!" Star-Lord heard Tony Stark's words and quickly waved his hand in denial.
Tony Stark continued to question, "So what exactly does this Tang want to do? What is the purpose of your Boss's elaborate plan?"
Star-Lord shook his head and said, "I'm just a security employee of East Galaxy Company, a subsidiary of Tang Group. How would I know the Big Boss's thoughts! If you want to know, you can ask him yourself. I've already made an appointment with the Big Boss for you!"
"East Galaxy Company?" Tony Stark noted the information Star-Lord revealed. This would be relevant to his upcoming conversation with that mysterious Boss. At this moment, the traffic light at the Intersection turned from red to green. Tony Stark floored the accelerator, and the sports car crossed the dividing line between the Outer District roads, arriving in the Inner District of Raccoon City under the envious and murmuring gazes of the onlookers behind them.
Unlike the bustling crowds in the Outer District, the Inner District of Raccoon City was filled with scattered vegetation and flower beds along both sides of the roads, and even winding streams flowed alongside the roads. Hidden among the trees were typical Federation villas... Through the shade of the trees, Tony Stark could see children playing in the villa yards, Elders watering flowers, and young men and women swimming in the swimming pool. It was a very strange feeling. Despite being in the center of a prosperous Small Town, it was a quiet, pastoral style. Even the cars on the roads were few, and the few cars that were there didn't drive fast.
On both sides of the roads, there were more passersby riding mountain bikes or running and exercising in sportswear. It was clear that the pace of life here was very slow. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
In this environment, even Tony Stark, who had been pressing the accelerator with rage in his heart, couldn't help but release the accelerator, and the sports car's speed also slowed down.
"Why are you doing this? Where is your justice?" He turned to look at Star-Lord in the front passenger seat and asked, somewhat angry at his lack of integrity.
Although Tony had gradually noticed Star-Lord's problem while exploring Parallel Universes, facing this Comrade-in-arms and companion who had fought alongside him, he was always unwilling to believe that this person was actually an Undercover Agent sent by someone else. But the facts were right before his eyes! The person in front of him was not the Star-Lord he knew. Ironically, this imposter had spent more time with them than the real Star-Lord.
Tony Stark was now somewhat unable to distinguish between the two, who was real and who was fake! "What are you referring to? Are you saying I leaked the coordinates of those Parallel Universes to the Company?" Star-Lord sighed, "Sorry, Tony, I'm an Undercover Agent. This is my mission!"
"As for the justice you mentioned, I don't feel I have wronged you. I only leaked the coordinates of those Parallel Universes, but I haven't done anything that violates justice!"
"You leaked the coordinates of these Parallel Universes to your mysterious Boss. Do you know how big a calamity that will cause? Do you know how many people will die!?" Tony Stark deliberately lowered his voice, almost roaring at Star-Lord, "Your Boss is very likely an Evil God. You should know how many casualties were caused by the calamity in Gotham City!?"
"But, even if my Boss is the Evil God who initiated the blood sacrifice, didn't he save Gotham City? Didn't he save the World after Superman died!" Star-Lord looked at Tony Stark and countered. "Mr. Stark, I've read DC Comics. I don't think there's anything wrong with helping Earth defeat Darkseid's invasion?!"
Tony Stark stared directly at Star-Lord, while Star-Lord stared back without flinching. Their gazes clashed across a pair of sunglasses.
Facing the self-righteous Star-Lord, Tony Stark's eyes behind his sunglasses began to flicker. Although Star-Lord had infiltrated their Universe as an Undercover Agent, as Star-Lord said, he had not posed any threat to them. Instead, he had used those miraculous magic items to save them more than once. Ironically, it was precisely because of these magic items and the situation that occurred in the DC Universe that he became suspicious of Star-Lord.
And the man who instructed Star-Lord, the man behind him, indeed, as Star-Lord said, had never harmed them from beginning to end. He even provided them with batch after batch of Pym Particles, helping them save their own Universe.
However, what were his intentions for wanting the coordinates of those Parallel Universes? Recalling the Evil God sacrifice that happened in Gotham City in the DC Universe, Tony Stark always felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He suspected that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind everything that man named Tang Song was doing.
This was also the reason he came to Raccoon City to see Tang Song. On the surface, he was seeking help to eliminate Thanos from a Parallel Universe. In reality, his true purpose was to ascertain Tang Song's true intentions.
If he was truly plotting a shocking conspiracy that would affect multiple Universes, he would stop him even if it cost him his life. At the very least, he would destroy the method for creating Quantum Tunnels that this suspected Evil God held. Otherwise, it would be a catastrophe affecting countless Parallel Universes. In the face of this Crisis, even Thanos, who destroyed half the Universe, could only take a backseat.
What Star-Lord didn't know was that after Tony Stark took him into the Quantum Tunnel, the Quantum Tunnel in that Universe was not only on standby with the Avengers, but they had also invited several old acquaintances from the Justice League of the DC Universe. In the plan formulated by Tony Stark himself, if he did not return by the agreed time, it would mean he had died. The Avengers and the Justice League would then take over his will and travel through the Quantum Tunnel again to this Universe to stop this shocking catastrophe.
Disagreed, unable to see eye to eye, seeing that he couldn't persuade Star-Lord, Tony Stark turned his head back and continued driving. From high altitude, the Inner District of Raccoon City was shaped like a giant Bagua Diagram or Yin Yang Diagram. The center point of every road converged on the Artificial Lake in the center of the Small Town, which covered an area of tens of hectares.
So, by driving straight along the roads, there was no worry of getting lost. Soon, Tony Stark drove his sports car to the Lakeside. The Lake Surface was vast and misty. Rows of weeping willows were planted along the Lakeside. Their jade-like branches hung down, some even dipping into the water, attracting small silver fish to feed.
A breeze blew, and on the Lake Surface, pot-lid sized lotus leaves swayed in the wind, revealing bowl-sized lotus flowers hidden among them. Tony Stark could even smell the fragrance of lotus flowers in the wind. Of course, compared to the scenery in the lake, what attracted Tony Stark's attention more was the white jade-like long bridge spanning the Lake Surface, and the white man with silver hair standing at the Bridgehead, wearing a tuxedo.
Tony Stark opened the sports car door and walked directly towards the long bridge without waiting for Star-Lord to get out.
"Welcome to Raccoon City, Mr. Stark! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Lane, I'm the Butler of this Manor. The Boss is waiting for you, please follow me!"
Lane saw Tony Stark walking towards him, stepped forward a couple of steps to greet him, extended his hand wearing white gloves to shake his hand, and greeted him politely and warmly.
