"This proposal comes too suddenly. I need time to think about it."
"Of course, no matter what Mr. Wushuang's decision is, as long as the golden apple does not fall into the wrong hands, we will not disturb Mr. Wushuang."
"Thanks."
Locke took out ten gold coins and put them on the table: "This glass of wine is for me. The mysterious organization you just mentioned also has a branch in New York. It's best not to run around."
SHIELD is in New York, but it has a large branch that doesn't listen to propaganda.
The guys in the Brotherhood may not know anything about S.H.I.E.L.D.
But Locke knows more about SHIELD than SHIELD itself.
But now?
Locke wanted to be quiet.
He pulled the knife out of the scabbard so hard that he almost reached his waist with too much force.
Star Building.
Locke returned home, walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of bourbon, and drank it directly. He placed his hands on the bar and his eyes flickered slightly.
Join or reject?
Locke has never been cold to those organizations, whether they are decent or villains. He likes freedom. The pressure of his previous life gave him no chance, but this life gave him the right to choose freedom.
But?
Locke poured another glass of bourbon, came to the study, leaned on the computer chair, and tapped lightly on the desk with his right hand.
The sound produced by fingers tapping on the table is very regular.
Such a voice helps Locke think about problems.
It is now October 2004, and it will only be four years before the curtain opens. In 2008, that is, after Iron Man is born, at that time, the curtain of this world will open.
At this time, walking alone and riding alone is not a big problem.
But after the curtain opens.
Fighting alone, Locke feels that he can control the whole scene, but after all, he is alone. What if he offends the superheroes, SHIELD and Hydra together?
so.
Locke actually once considered forming a group.
However, the curtain has not yet been raised, and Locke is not in a hurry. Sometimes, when he thinks about it, he throws it back. When he remembers it, he picks it up and continues to think about it.
So far, the group planning is still stuck on the team name.
But right now, Magneto...
Pooh.
Callum Lynch's invitation did make Locke a little tempted.
The most important thing.
Locke remembered what the Red Devil said. After the textile factory was destroyed, it was not just Callum who noticed him, but a mysterious organization also noticed him.
That is S.H.I.E.L.D.
Now that the Brotherhood is here, can S.H.I.E.L.D. be far behind?
Locke raised his eyebrows.
"System, can you preview the long-term mission rewards that will be opened if I join the Brotherhood?"
"cannot!"
Locke felt the system's protest and twitched the corners of his mouth.
As expected.
Fine.
Locke thought.
The next second.
"Ding! 』
"The mission is being generated!" 』
"Mission: League of Assassins (long-term mission)"

"Current mission: "Assassin's League""
"I'm not excited."
Locke looked at the lines in the mission description and raised his eyebrows: "Don't just add lines to me."
Choose to decline this task.
He's not free!
but……
fraternity.
Locke remembered that Magneto seemed to have a brotherhood.
Good guy.
Another frat?
Lake felt something magical. He lowered his head, smiled, drank a glass of bourbon, and then directly called Callum, who should be still at the Continental Hotel at this moment.
"Callum, you said last time that you had contact with that mysterious organization. What is your attitude towards that mysterious organization?"
"...Another organization that claims its destiny."
"again?"
"The last one was the Knights Templar."
"understood."
Locke nodded, knowing that the Brotherhood was consistent with his attitude towards SHIELD, so there was no problem: "Magneto, I agree to your invitation."
Callum over there frowned: "I'm not..."
But Locke had hung up.
Join first, and then find a way to steal Callum's position and become the president of the brotherhood.
But wait for now.
Let Callum work for him first.
Can be anxious.
I can't eat meat tofu in a hurry.
Locke sipped his glass of wine and stared at the New York night sky.
In the Continental Hotel!
Rosa looked at Callum who hung up the phone and spread her hands: "How was it?"
Callum frowned, thinking about the name Magneto, and shook his head.
Rosa saw this: "No consent?"
Callum turned around and smiled: "He agreed to join us."
Rosa was slightly startled: "It's true and false, it can't be a scam."
Callum said: "He is a proud man, just like me, a proud man who never disdains to lie. In this way, you contact him tomorrow and use our falconry skills to trade with him for the gun throwing skills."
"how about you?"
"I'm going to Sokovia to pick up my daughter and son. Next, we need to reestablish the brotherhood in New York."
"..."
