“Swoosh—”
Lynn came out of Apparition and breathed a sigh of relief when he found himself at the correct coordinates.
This is the lair of the Snakehead Gang, Red-Eyed Jack. Lynn predicted that the other party might escape here, so he waited for him here first.
However, this place is still some distance away from Britz Beach, and the mutant Jack will not be able to get here in a short time. Lynn estimated that he would have to wait slowly, so he looked around, trying to find a place with a wide view.
Soon he saw a small building opposite the slums, from which all the entrances and exits should be visible.
But there seemed to be someone on guard there, and Lin En had to go through a lot of trouble to get there.
"If only I could fly straight up..."
He began to recall the last moment when he Apparated away from the beach, and seemed to see the shadows of Iron Man and Doctor Strange. The two of them came together and flew into the air, like heroes appearing on the stage.
Lin En was extremely envious of this cool way of traveling, and thought to himself that he must get a few flying brooms from the Room of Requirement next time.
"That guy Peter Parker was showing off to me today that he could swing. I have to get this face back..." Lynn touched his chin.
Since he couldn't fly yet, Lin En finally decided to walk up honestly.
As soon as he approached the small building, he heard the voices of the snakehead gang inside.
"Thomson, it's your turn to change shifts."
A gang member came down the stairs and tried to wake up his companions who were taking a break, but when he looked up, he saw Lynn quietly appearing at the door.
"Fainted!" Lin En moved quickly. He was now quite proficient in using the stunning spell and could cast it with little or no sound.
The target fell to the ground, but his companion, Thomson, was still fast asleep, unaware of the situation.
"Sleep a little longer." Lynn quietly walked over and put the wand against Thomson's neck, allowing him to sleep more soundly.
After doing all this, he successfully climbed to the top floor and knocked down the last guy on guard.
Lin En picked up the telescope that had fallen to the ground, wiped it, and looked towards the slums across the street. The view here was indeed good, and the entire territory of the snakehead gang was in sight.
If the mutant Jack returns to the Snakehead Gang, he will definitely not escape the sight of this telescope.
In order to be able to keep watch here with greater peace of mind, Lin En even cast a Muggle-Repelling Spell, so that anyone approaching the building would instantly remember some urgent matters and leave on their own.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. A slight curve appeared at the corner of Lin En's mouth.
However, what made Lin En depressed was that this smile did not last long. After an hour, Lin En still hadn't seen the mutant Jack, and he could no longer laugh.
The mutant Jack did not return to his lair, but hid somewhere else. As a senior gang member, this guy is quite familiar with anti-reconnaissance methods.
Lin En struggled for a long time, as if he was fighting a battle of wits with the air.
“This is where things start to get interesting…”
The setback aroused his competitive spirit.
Normally, Lynn was a rather casual guy, and he rarely took the initiative to get enthusiastic about something, but today's misjudgment sparked some interest in him.
He took the initiative to capture the mutant Jack.
If Red-Eyed Jack knew about his inner transformation, he would definitely scold him, "You can't afford to lose, you pervert."
Lynn leaned on the rooftop fence with his arms folded and waited for another half an hour. Only when the sun began to become cold did he sigh and leave.
"I hope you can behave yourself next time." Lynn muttered to himself as he looked at the slums below. He was a little worried that the mutant Jack would hurt people wantonly.
But he soon shook his head in self-mockery. There were so many superheroes in New York, so he had nothing to worry about...
In fact, he was right. At that time, there were many people in New York who wanted to capture Jack.
The first to bear the brunt are Iron Man and Doctor Strange. With the help of Doctor Strange's magic, they retraced the process of the mutant Jack landing on the beach and are chasing each other closely.
On the other side, there is the combination of Black Widow and Hawkeye. They have reached a consensus with Captain America Steve Rogers and are relying on the special forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. to lock the target in the sea of surveillance.
As for the third force, it has been hiding in the dark, avoiding the other two forces and acting quietly.
However, the mutant Jack seemed to be aware that someone was besieging him, and he kept fleeing around relying on New York's underground water system, leaving the other three helpless.
Instead, Lin En, who played a minor role in this incident, was inexplicably the focus of attention from all parties.
"Chief, I have seen this boy before. He showed off his skills when capturing mutants. His skills were quite impressive."
Natasha held up a photo of Model Lake that Nick had just handed to her and gave her evaluation.
"Hey, agent, it seems you like this guy very much. Are you short of people recently?" Nick teased.
"Isn't it? I remember he was indeed a handsome boy." Natasha responded to the teasing with the same teasing.
"It's a pity that he is too mysterious and SHIELD has no way to investigate. I just hope he is not our enemy." Nick thought of what Stark said to him. This incident involves Hydra.
"Mysterious? Haha, Strange and Stark are the truly mysterious guys, right? My Director, how on earth were you convinced by that cunning fox? I don't understand." Natasha chuckled and turned the topic to her area of interest.
"Oh, I hate to talk to you like this, but Agent, this is confidential." Nick said in a joking tone.
Also taking an interest in Lynn is Doctor Strange, and strictly speaking, his interest in Lynn becomes more "serious."
That day, he followed Stark's advice and went to the snakehead gang's territory to search, and unexpectedly found traces of Lynn's visit, which made him suspicious.
"Banner, he first triggered a certain connection between the worlds, causing Kamar-Taj to be extremely busy, then he appeared at the 65th subway station and witnessed the birth of mutants, and finally he was the first to appear at the Snakehead Gang and witnessed the mutants' escape."
At this time, Strange was wearing a neat suit, sitting opposite Banner with his hands clasped together.
"Combined with the fact that he appeared underground many times and happened to encounter mutant creatures many times, I think this chain of logic makes sense."
"Then who could he be? Hydra?" Dr. Banner frowned as usual, revealing a somewhat honest expression.
"No matter who he is, we have to take action. Now Natasha and Rogers are also interested in the mutant, and we have to get ahead of them." Stark brought coffee and cookies to the two.
"Do you need my help? I've been staying in the lab these days. I need to go out for a walk." Banner complained.
"Is it you who thinks this or Hulk who thinks this?" Stark joked.
He has always been a confident guy.
