Chapter 1125: Test

After Tom’s shout, there was still no response from the room, as if the previous sound had been an illusion and Lin Rui wasn’t actually in the room. Not receiving any reply from Lin Rui, Tom didn’t dare to continue pushing 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 Rui’s doorway, grappling with uncertainty, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He quickly pulled out the phone, seeing an unknown caller.

“Hello? This is Tom Smith, who’s calling?” With his hand half-covering his mouth, Tom answered the phone in a hushed voice.

“Tom, it’s Tony Stark.” Tony’s 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, there’s no danger. If you’re willing, could you help watch over him there? According to J.A.R.V.I.S’s calculations, Jackson shouldn’t take too long to wake up,” Tony continued speaking without minding Tom’s 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 Rui’s 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 Rui’s room was under control and wouldn’t 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 didn’t take any further action. However, Tom’s 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 Rui’s room again, Tony called him to remind him of Lin Rui’s current situation. The voice that came from Lin Rui’s room earlier was simulated by J.A.R.V.I.S., as Tony didn’t want Lin Hai to worry if he heard it after coming upstairs.

“Sure, Mr. Stark, I’ll stay here and make sure nobody disturbs him!” Hearing Tony’s reminder, Tom solemnly promised.

“Well, then thank you. Tom, you’re a good kid,” Tony complimented briefly after getting Tom’s 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 Rui’s room, like a guardian, stationed at the door.

“Sir, Tom Smith, he’s 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., Tom’s and Dave’s actions hadn’t escaped everyone’s 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 wouldn’t cause any problems.

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

“Seems that way. Because of Phantom Knight, they’re 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 Tom’s 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, that’s good. J.A.R.V.I.S, if they encounter any difficulties, you can provide some assistance 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 Wang and a few Sorcerers, had now arrived at the hidden retreat of Sorcerers in the Himalayas. The specialized alloy handcuffs that had restrained Loki’s 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 Sorcerer’s retreat, a location seldom visited by the Sorcerers.

Wang 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, Loki’s 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 One’s 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 didn’t cause severe injuries or deaths. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be locked up so simply here. According to the agreement signed between me and Odin, you’ve violated several terms. Even if I were to punish you, Odin wouldn’t object,” The Ancient One spoke in a cold tone, observing Loki’s demeanor.

“Are those Earthlings comparable to me? Besides, they’ve kept me confined for this long; isn’t that enough?” Hearing the Ancient One’s 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 Asgard’s top-level Sorcerers. How could he be compared to ordinary Earthlings?

“Earthlings? But isn’t your current situation the result of those same Earthlings?”
