Chapter 211: Missing Persons

Peaceful days always pass quickly, as if it was already June in just a blink of an eye.

Mike sighed and opened the door and walked out in the early morning sunlight, carrying his coffee and wearing short sleeves and big pants.

After picking up today’s newspaper on his lawn and looking up to see John across the street, surprisingly neat and tidy, with a sandwich stuffed in his mouth, picking up the same newspaper as he did, the two greeted each other.

“Hey, Mike! Want to come over to my place for dinner tonight?”

John smiled and extended an invitation.

“No.” Mike shook his head with a disgusted look and said, “I’m not falling for your trick!”

Last time, John said the same thing, and when he went, he became the one doing the cooking!

And last time, it was the same……

“Haha!”

John laughed happily, waved with the hand holding the newspaper and said, “See you later, I have to go to work.”

Mike nodded and ‘bared’ his coffee while clutching the newspaper back to the house.

Lifting his feet backwards and closing the door without looking back, Mike glanced at the clock on the wall and said to Gwen, who was eating breakfast, “You have five minutes of breakfast left.”

Gwen took a sip of milk and got a ring of milk stains on her mouth, couldn’t help but lick her lips and said, “I’m not going to be late! It’s Monday!”

“Then you’ll have to work hard.”

Mike smiled as he made it to the table, put down the coffee and newspaper in his hand, and joined Gwen for breakfast.

“Dad, Luke wants to take fighting lessons with me.”

“Luke? Why? Doesn’t he like basketball better?”

Gwen ate the toasted yellow bread as she said, “He’s not giving up basketball, he just wants to learn to fight again.”

After a pause, she winked at Mike and said, “My guess is, he’s doing it because of what happened last time.”

“Last time? What was it?”

“It was when he was bullied by the upperclassmen.

I helped him …… uh, reason about it.”

“Justify?”

Mike’s eyes narrowed and he said, “With your fists?”

“No! How is it possible! Don’t guess!” Gwen hurriedly denied, rolling his eyes, and said: “I’m full, I’m going to school, or I’ll be late.”

“Don’t worry, there’s still two minutes left.”

Mike smiled at Gwen and said, “Come on, talk to Daddy, how do you convince people with your reasoning?”

Gwen’s little face fell and she said angrily, “Well, I did do it, but he started it, I went to help Luke and he tried to hit me.”

After saying that, she looked at Mike carefully.

Mike picked up his coffee and took a sip, looked at Gwen’s worried look and laughed, “I’m not mad, you just protected yourself, how could I be mad?”

Gwen sighed with relief and said, “Dad, don’t worry, I won’t bully anyone.”

Mike waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”

Gwen looked carefully at Mike again, and after seeing that Mike was indeed not angry, she happily ran outside.

After Gwen left, Mike muttered despondently, “Ugh, with Gwen like this, I don’t even have a chance to talk to those parents.”

He felt like he had lost a good chunk of fun, after all, it was still cute to see those parents go from reasoning to reasoning in a lively exchange.

Taking a sip of coffee, his brow furrowed.

Why is this coffee tasteless?

A pity Mike sighed and opened the newspaper to scan to today’s news.

Sometimes he would see news of Charles and Eric on it.

For example, Professor X saved the mutant boy again, the teachers of the X Academy solved some troublesome bandits, to protect innocent people.

Or, Magneto with the Brotherhood, and destroyed some base or something.

Whenever he saw the news in the newspaper, there is a kind of child out of the old father mentality.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his eyebrows furrowed together, followed by a quick stretch.

Billionaire, playboy, genius scientist and owner of Stark Industries, Tony Stark was missing in the Middle East.

It’s not uncommon to see Tony’s news in the headlines, but most of it is the guy’s histrionics.

Disappeared?

Mike scanned the news on the newspaper and tossed it aside.

So, Tony’s metamorphosis is about to begin?

Tony……

Mike let out a sigh of relief.

He had to make sure the other man was safe first.

This is certainly one of the most important moments in Tony’s life, a chance for Tony to make profound changes, but in case the memory of the plot deviates from reality, Tony Stark will really become a shit big pellet.

Finding Tony is not difficult for Mike, just a phone call, or a trip to go yourself.

Just then, the doorbell of Mike’s house was rung.

Mike’s eyes went through the door panel, looked at Maria standing outside the door, and sighed softly.

He was wondering if he should call Maria.

Mike walked to the door and opened it.

The moment he opened the door, Maria, who had been brought by the harpy, looked up at Mike, her eyes were red and she hugged him.

Mike gently patted his old friend’s back and whispered, “Come in and talk.”

Maria nodded and followed Mike inside.

As Harpy tried to follow in, Mike closed the door directly.

Harpy touched his nose that was almost slapped by the door, his heart was a little scared, but remembering his own boss, he couldn’t help but sigh, and wondered if the other party was still……

Inside the house.

Although Maria’s eyes were red, but did not shed tears in front of Mike.

She is a strong woman, and those years with Howard, they encountered a lot of things, developed her current strong character.

“Mike, can you help me find Tony?” Maria grabbed Mike’s hand and held it unconsciously and hard, saying sadly, “Even if it’s a corpse.”

She had prepared for the worst.

Mike gave a deep breath and said, “It should be okay.”

Maria breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks!”

Mike mused and said, “When did Tony go missing?”

“Tony disappeared at the end of April, and has been missing for over a month.”

Speaking of which, Maria’s tone was full of anger.

“What?”

Mike’s eyebrows were furrowed together.

It had been missing for so long, so why did the news appear only today, and why did Maria come to him only now?

Was the news blocked? Was Maria kept under wraps and simply didn’t know about Tony’s disappearance?

A thought flashed through Mike’s mind.

“Obadiah! It’s the bald son of a bitch! And the fucking military! Bunch of shit!”

Maria couldn’t help but curse out.

“Maria!”

Mike watched helplessly as the elegant old woman turned into a cranky old man.

A few seconds later, Maria calmed down and said, “If it wasn’t for today’s newspaper, I might still be kept under wraps!”
