Chapter 1125: Test

After Toms shout, there was still no response from the room, as if the previous sound had been an illusion and Lin Rui wasnt actually in the room. Not receiving any reply from Lin Rui, Tom didnt dare to continue pus.h.i.+ng the door. He stood at the doorway, cautiously feeling the situation inside the room through the narrow gap.

*Ding Ding Ding~*

While Tom was standing at Lin Ruis doorway, grappling with uncertainty, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He quickly pulled out the phone, seeing an unknown caller.

h.e.l.lo? This is Tom Smith, whos calling? With his hand half-covering his mouth, Tom answered the phone in a hushed voice.

Tom, its Tony Stark. Tonys voice came from the other end after Tom picked up the call.

Tony Stark?!

Jackson is in the room right now, but the situation is a bit special, likely related to the energy within him. However, theres no danger. If youre willing, could you help watch over him there? According to J.A.R.V.I.Ss calculations, Jackson shouldnt take too long to wake up, Tony continued speaking without minding Toms surprise.

When Lin Rui was immersed in deep meditation, upgrading his Training Technique and unconsciously releasing internal energy to fill the room, Tony, who had previously installed a dangerous energy detection system in Lin Ruis home, received a notification from J.A.R.V.I.S.

Through calculations, J.A.R.V.I.S determined that the extremely high energy reaction in Lin Ruis room was under control and wouldnt pose any danger. Moreover, those energies were protecting Lin Rui, who was temporarily in deep meditation, excluding any outsiders from the room.

Therefore, Tony just had J.A.R.V.I.S keep an eye on things and didnt take any further action. However, Toms accidental intrusion was unexpected, and Tony was concerned when he saw Tom being blasted away by the internal energy.

It was only after Tom managed to stand up that Tony remembered that this guy seemed to be a new version of Winter Soldier, even stronger than the ones he had hidden away himself.

To prevent Tom from worrying and from accidentally intruding into Lin Ruis room again, Tony called him to remind him of Lin Ruis current situation. The voice that came from Lin Ruis room earlier was simulated by J.A.R.V.I.S., as Tony didnt want Lin Hai to worry if he heard it after coming upstairs.

Sure, Mr. Stark, Ill stay here and make sure n.o.body disturbs him! Hearing Tonys reminder, Tom solemnly promised.

Well, then thank you. Tom, youre a good kid, Tony complimented briefly after getting Toms response.

Afterward, Tony hung up the phone from his end, and Tom, feeling a little excited, put his phone away. Then, he turned his back to Lin Ruis room, like a guardian, stationed at the door.

Sir, Tom Smith, hes the Super Powered individual from the newly emerging Vigilante group called the Anti-Evil Team on the streets of New York, Inside Stark Industries Tower, Tony, who had just ended communication with Tom, received a reminder from J.A.R.V.I.S.

Clearly, under the powerful monitoring of J.A.R.V.I.S., Toms and Daves actions hadnt escaped everyones notice. After all, following the rise of Vigilantes like the Phantom Knight, imitators were cropping up everywhere.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, J.A.R.V.I.S. monitored and investigated every newly emerging Vigilante, ensuring they wouldnt cause any problems.

Oh? So, in that case, hes also considered a hero now? Surprised by J.A.R.V.I.S.s report, Tony remarked.

Seems that way. Because of Phantom Knight, theyre definitely doing much better than other new Vigilantes. With them around, the security of New York has been maintained relatively well, J.A.R.V.I.S. provided his evaluation of Toms team.

Due to the significant power upgrades within the members of the League of Defenders, apart from Spider-Man occasionally patrolling the streets and helping the elderly and vulnerable, the other members no longer got involved in minor street incidents.

Meanwhile, other newly emerging Vigilantes like Tom and Dave were engaging in the tasks that the League of Defenders had initially undertaken.

Mhm, thats good. J.A.R.V.I.S, if they encounter any difficulties, you can provide some a.s.sistance as needed.

Understood, sir.

Little did Tom know that the team he and Dave formed had already been thoroughly investigated by others. However, Tony was an ally, and perhaps he could genuinely help them later on.

While Lin Rui was at home upgrading his Training Technique to enhance his strength, Loki, who had been taken away by w.a.n.g and a few Sorcerers, had now arrived at the hidden retreat of Sorcerers in the Himalayas. The specialized alloy handcuffs that had restrained Lokis hands were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a golden magical chain.

Loki, shackled by the magical chain, sat coldly on a chair. The wounds on his face had mostly recovered, but it was unclear what he was thinking at this moment. This place was the backyard of the Sorcerers retreat, a location seldom visited by the Sorcerers.

w.a.n.g had brought Loki directly here, replacing his previous restraints with a more secure set of magical handcuffs, and then he left Loki here on his own.

*Humming~*

Just when Loki had been left alone for about an hour, a golden Magical Portal appeared in front of him. Then, the Ancient One stepped out from within.

Ancient One. Upon seeing the appearance of the Ancient One, Lokis gaze flickered, and he greeted with a subdued tone.

Loki, you should know why I brought you here, right? Walking up to Loki, the Ancient One lowered her head slightly and asked.

Is it because I injured a few Earthlings? Was all of this really necessary? Upon hearing the Ancient Ones question, Loki responded with a somewhat indifferent counter-question.

Faced with the presence of the Ancient One, Loki had chosen to temporarily suppress his arrogance.

You acknowledge that you injured them. Luckily, you restrained yourself and didnt cause severe injuries or deaths. Otherwise, you wouldnt be locked up so simply here. According to the agreement signed between me and Odin, youve violated several terms. Even if I were to punish you, Odin wouldnt object, The Ancient One spoke in a cold tone, observing Lokis demeanor.

Are those Earthlings comparable to me? Besides, theyve kept me confined for this long; isnt that enough? Hearing the Ancient Ones words, Loki responded with a touch of displeasure.

Although Loki had been weakened in the presence of the Ancient One and the Sorcerers, he still felt that those Earthlings he had injured were nowhere near his league.

He was Loki, the prince of Asgard and one of Asgards top-level Sorcerers. How could he be compared to ordinary Earthlings?

Earthlings? But isnt your current situation the result of those same Earthlings?
