Chapter 867: Refusal

Although Ling Xiao didn't like Toombs a little, he still had some appreciation for him, and when faced with temptation, he was able to decisively choose to refuse, which was not something ordinary people could do.

Tumus's ambition, greed and unruliness made Ling Xiao reject the idea of letting him join the Interstellar Immigration Bureau through normal channels, but he didn't want to give up this person, and had to admit that all Tumus's ambitions and greed were based on his ability, if he could join Ling Xiao's starship, as a chief engineer, he would definitely be very suitable, but only if he was obedient.

Although Ling Xiao did not clearly say what method he wanted to use to make Tumus obedient, Tumus also knew that once he agreed to Ling Xiao's request, he could only be at the mercy of others for the rest of his life, so even if Ling Xiao made it clear that as long as Tumus agreed to his request, he could directly take him out of prison, even in the face of such a temptation, Tumus still chose to refuse, although he was going to face more than ten years in prison,

Although Tumbs rejected Ling Xiao's choice, Ling Xiao still promised him that he would place his wife and daughter in the UK.

Leaving the prison, it was not too early, Ling Xiao did not immediately go to Parker, and Tracy's invitation had not yet been written, so he went directly to rest.

This night, Tumus did not rest well, after all, he was in the detention cell of the police station, and more importantly, he was worried about the future life of his wife and daughter, although Ling Xiao promised to place them in the United Kingdom, but this did not mean that he could rest easy.

If he had a choice, Toombs would have liked his wife and daughter to remain in the United States, in New York, but he knew it would not be possible.

After eight years of underground arms trading, Toombs knows too many things that he shouldn't know, and once many secrets are told, he doesn't know how many people will die, and it is natural to want to make sure that he doesn't tell these secrets, so he will seize his wife and daughter as a handle to threaten him, you know, with the means of those people, they can do anything.

Fortunately, in addition to the superficial expenses over the years, Tooms has also saved a lot of money in private, all of which are stored in an anonymous account, so he had to leave the United States and get out of the sight of those people, plus Ling Xiao's care, plus this amount of money, is enough for their mother and daughter to live a good life.

While Tumbs was nervous in prison, Michelle Jones was lying on her cousin Patricia's bed, holding her sister's armpits while asking her about Ling Xiao.

Although Ling Xiao's ability was different from the rumors, the conversation between him and Patricia at the dinner table before still made Michelle aware of the clues, and now that Ling Xiao had left, Michelle naturally wanted to ask everything clearly.

Similarly, Patricia also has a lot of things to ask Michelle, although Ling Xiao vaguely passed the process of the two people meeting, but where is Patricia so easy to fool, she can't ask anything from Ling Xiao, she naturally falls on Michelle.

The two women were lying on the bed, you took out my armpits, I broke your fingers, tossed all night, and finally the two of them compromised with each other and told each other most of the facts, of course, everyone inevitably had some reservations, such as Spider-Man's true identity, such as Patricia's own true purpose.

Patricia had a busy day during the day, and she had already fallen asleep after tossing with Michelle before, while Michelle was looking at the ceiling in the darkness alone, not knowing what she was thinking, but she could only see her eyes getting brighter and brighter.

Tumbus was imprisoned, and Stark also expressed great appreciation for Parker's actions, and if there was no Parker, then the damage caused by this loss to the new Avengers would also be very serious, so Tony decided that this was to introduce Spider-Man to the Avengers.

However, what he didn't expect was that in the face of his invitation, Parker chose to refuse, this kid still realized himself at the last moment, he knew that his ability was not enough to be qualified for such a responsible role as the Avenger, for him, this grassroots hero was more suitable.

Parker had already made his choice, and a lot of what he said was what Stark had said to him earlier, and Stark couldn't say a word about those words, so he had to ask Harpy to send someone to send Parker back, and he himself had to deal with the mess he had caused.

It's really a mess, in order to announce that Spider-Man has joined the Avengers, Stark has gathered more than 200 reporters to attend the press conference at once, but now that Spider-Man is not joining the Avengers, this time it is equivalent to roasting Stark directly on the fire, and he doesn't dare to face those reporters.

Just when Pepper came to urge, a thought flashed in his mind, when he called these reporters, in order to cause a sensation, he felt that these reporters said that they had an important statement to make, but no one knew what the specific statement was except themselves, and now all he needed to do was to replace Spider-Man with another statement to join the Avengers, and this statement was that he and Pepper were going to get engaged.

Such news is enough to replace Spider-Man to join the Avengers, and it is also sensational enough and eye-catching enough.

If there's one thing in the world that's the most compelling superhero, it's Stark.

Before announcing that he was a superhero, Stark was already a well-known rich man and playboy in the United States, and his affairs were enough to be serialized in The Sun for more than a year.

And today, Stark announced his engagement to Pepper Pepper Pepper, which is definitely one of the most sensational news in the 20th century, and it is in no way inferior to the scene when Stark announced that he was a superhero, which is enough to cover up all the embarrassment.

Although he had heard of it before, it was not a good feeling for Parker to see Liz drop out of school accompanied by her mother.

He couldn't help but say sorry to her, but Liz didn't know why, but she didn't pay much attention, she just asked Parker to tell Mary Jane that their family was going to help them go to Oregon, and that her father didn't want them to stay here when he was on trial, and Oregon was said to have a great view......

Of course, Liz and her mother didn't really move to Oregon, and they were halfway through to London by Thriller and Mechanic with a letter from Toombs, and the so-called move to Oregon was nothing more than a smokescreen.

Liz left, but it didn't seem to affect the entire academy, and everything continued to work.

The competition team lacked a team leader, but soon a new team leader came on to replace him, and that person was Michelle, Michelle Jones.

Parker was still a member of the group, but he didn't notice that Michelle was looking at her strangely.

Back home, Parker was just about to tell his girlfriend Mary Jane about Liz when he suddenly saw an invitation placed at the bedside.

Ling Xiao wasn't worried that Parker would refuse such an invitation, how could he miss such an interesting thing with his character.

Considering that Parker was on Tracy's radio, gushing about useful and useless nonsense, and when Tracy looked embarrassed, he couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Ling Xiao did not leave New York, he himself appeared in Jessica Jones's detective agency in Hell's Kitchen, and at this time, Jessica, who was only wearing a camisole was still curled up in a chair alone, falling into a deep sleep, and there were more than a dozen beer cans on the desk next to her.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, what has this girl been through during this time, he walked over and picked Jessica up from the chair.

But who would have thought that Jessica would subconsciously hug him tightly, very hard, that is, Ling Xiao, for any ordinary person, she had to break her ribs this time.

Ling Xiao carried Jessica to the bedroom, the whole bedroom was messy, his free right hand waved slightly, the bedroom window opened immediately, a fresh breeze rose, all the dust in the room was blown out, and the smell was suddenly renewed.

Ling Xiao came to the bed with Jessica in his arms, looked at the girl's sleeping face, and did not leave ruthlessly, so he hugged her and slept on the bed all night.
