Chapter 110 Krypton Spaceship
Nick noticed the change in Kailus's eyes, so he found a place to sit down and picked up the document to take a look.

"Oh...are these all the things?" Nick didn't seem to care much. After all, there were so many rich children in the American upper class, and many of them had the same personality as Bruce Wayne. It's just that he was a little special.

Especially rich.

"Millions of dollars to move the iceberg... Haha, as expected of a kid from a wealthy family, his ideas are unique." Nick smiled and patted the information in his hand, jokingly. It seems that he regarded everything above as a joke for fun.

But Nick had never expected to know anything. Families like this that have been in the federal states for a hundred years, regardless of the size of their influence, all have one thing in common: they conceal the true secrets of their families very thoroughly.

Especially, for a family like the Wayne family, where the previous head of the family was assassinated, they are more concerned with concealing the truth by being mysterious.

"Arctic glacier...Bruce Wayne..." Kaelus muttered, his eyes constantly scanning the information.

The text introducing the news was full of sarcasm and ridicule towards Young Master Wayne, but as Kalus read the text, he gradually began to laugh.

Is Bruce Wayne really that stupid? Impossible.

Bruce in the current timeline is still in his youth and has not yet become the Dark Knight, but this does not mean that he is mentally retarded. On the contrary, he is very clear about his goals, and in order to achieve his goals, he will do whatever it takes.

What are the Arctic glaciers?
After a brainstorming session, a name quickly popped up in Kailus' mind.

The spaceship came from Krypton. It was an alien spaceship hidden under the ice for tens of thousands of years. It was originally sent for inspection and investigation. However, after the destruction of Krypton, the spaceship became a rare proof of the existence of Kryptonian civilization.

"Bruce Wayne is interested in finding the Kryptonian spaceship... Does he know about Clark's existence?"

Countless possibilities emerged in Kaelus' mind. Perhaps Bruce got the news through some channel. If Clark's identity was exposed, with his strength, it would be impossible for him to have no news for a long time.

But no matter what, given Bruce's personality, he would never spend millions of dollars on such a boring thing. So, there must be something he wants under the Arctic ice!

Knowing this is enough.

For Kailus, this is an additional bargaining chip.

Bruce undoubtedly didn't want his secret to be exposed to the world, so he forged the persona of a playboy. In this way, if he had the opportunity to meet the future Dark Knight, Kaelus would be able to know a secret in his heart!
"Hey...what's wrong with you?" Nick noticed that Kaelus was distracted and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Kaelus gradually came to his senses and shook his head to indicate that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Forget it, you don't have to worry. Although the information Tony gave us is useless, his face is still very useful. With him around, those people in Las Vegas dare not do anything to us." Nick thought that Kalus was worried, so he took the initiative to comfort him.

"Besides... with your strength, if you want to leave, those small fry shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"

Of course, Nick didn't know that Kailus was able to repel the Chitauri army mostly because of the Power Stone, which is an Infinity Stone. Nowadays, the Power Stone is temporarily sealed in a heavily guarded laboratory.

However, he was not wrong in one thing. Even without the Power Stone, Kailus' strength was still second to none.

"…Forget it, let's not talk about this. Why hasn't Tony come back yet? I was thinking of discussing other things with him."

Just as Nick put down the information in his hand, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded:

"Sir, there is a call from the President's office. Do you want to answer it?" In the corner, a mechanical camera slowly turned around, and Jarvis' voice came out from the deep optical lens. As an artificial intelligence, Jarvis can control almost all electronic equipment in the room.

The Office of the President?
Nick and Kaelus looked at each other. They had come to Stark Tower because they had not met the president. They did not expect that the president, who they had never met, would unexpectedly come out to make a contact request.

Nick's portrait apparently also has a backup record in Jarvis' system. After he speaks, he theoretically has the same commanding role as Tony.

"Tony is not here, show us the news first."

Jarvis then obediently transferred the call.

However, the voice that spoke was not that of the high-spirited white man in the White House, but that of a woman.

From the sound of her voice, there seemed to be a hint of panic in her words.

"Is this Mr. Stark? Can you send your medical robot over as soon as possible? The president has been assassinated! It was a mutant! She became the president's bodyguard, and a bullet hit his abdomen less than one meter away from the president..."

The woman's nervous words were like a bombshell, causing the pupils of the two people present to widen.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense because of these words.

...The President was assassinated?

real or fake?

Judging from the tone of the person on the call, it was obvious that he was not joking!

It is no wonder that the meeting at the White House was cancelled. The president was injured and was forced to block the news to reduce the panic among the people.

"...shot in the abdomen? Fortunately, it's not a wild guess..." Kaylus muttered in his heart after a moment of silence.

However, the vehicles that the president rides on are all made of high-tech materials. Even the most fragile glass is enough to easily withstand sniper rifles and grenade explosions. Under this kind of defense, only close subordinates have a chance...

"What happened? Explain it in detail. Are you saying that the President was assassinated in public? The assassin was a mutant? And he could transform into other people?!" Nick exclaimed and asked again to confirm. His strong body stood up from his original position.

No one knows better than Nick what consequences would be caused if something happened to the President, the head of the United States.

Although people have been teasing that the president is just a puppet, he still represents America on the surface! The Chitauri invasion has just ended, the post-disaster treatment has not been completed, and people's hearts are still unsettled. If something happens at this time, wouldn't it be like adding fuel to the fire?
"That's right... But fortunately, after the first bullet missed the vital point, the mutant woman left and didn't shoot again. However, the security personnel present didn't stop her and let her escape..."

Of course, normal people cannot stop Mystique's assassination, because she is the most proficient among the mutants in such underhand tactics as alienation and attack.

However, compared to the fact that Mystique launched the assassination at this time, what is more shocking is that Mystique did not kill.

At a distance of only one meter, with Mystique's ability, it is impossible for her to miss the target. Moreover, even if she is temporarily distracted and misses the target, she will definitely be able to shoot a second or third shot!

If the purpose was to kill the target, how could they just let him go?
