After returning to the restaurant, Dio found that little Shuijing seemed to be a little abnormal. Her eyes were always dodging and there was obvious hesitation on her face.
"What's wrong? Do you want to buy something or are you hungry?"
Dio just asked casually, but little Crystal was startled. She shook her head like a rattle and immediately ran to get the tools to start cleaning.
Although they worked very hard, they just cleaned the place before leaving. What's going on? Are they mysophobes
Dio didn't really understand what she was thinking, nor did he really understand what little girls of her age would think, but he still asked Lao Qi just in case. In case little Shuijing fell asleep in the car for a while when he wasn't aware, that would be a serious problem!
Fortunately, no such accident happened.
So Dior just thought that Crystal had reached puberty and started to have her own little secrets, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
The little crystal who was polishing the dining table with a rag over and over again seemed to be in a trance, and kept recalling the conversation between the beautiful sister in the car and Mr. Dior.
"Is this your sister?"
“I guess so.”
She didn't react at all when a stranger complimented her on her beauty, but Dio's unintentional answer made her anxious.
So... is it or isn't it
Can someone like me really be Mr. Dior's sister
He must have answered and comforted me like that to take care of my feelings. Stop having those random thoughts. Isn't this the life you have now what you have always dreamed of? Just hold on. As long as no one gets hurt again, I will be satisfied. Don't ask for more!
Little Shuijing seemed to no longer be struggling, but she also seemed very disappointed, and the strength and frequency of her wiping the table also decreased.

At the same time, all major media outlets received the news that Tony had been attacked, and they all went to Tony's sea view villa which had been bombed into ruins to prepare to interview Tony in person about his feelings at the time.
When they saw the tragic situation there and couldn't find anyone, all kinds of irresponsible speculations and remarks were reported, and the whole of America was in an uproar!
Although the Battle of New York brought pain and fear to countless people, the 'Avengers' who saved the world also gave hope and light to many people. Among them, Tony, as Iron Man, naturally received the support of too many people.
But now this support first turned into pressure and then into disappointment!
Tony's public provocation in the news not long ago now looks more like a vulgar April Fool's Day joke. The Iron Man, who was highly expected by countless people, is missing and no one knows where he has gone. The extremely tragic-looking ruins prove that the terrorists are fearless and make countless people who watched the report feel their brutality!
These people are more lawless and more difficult to deal with than any terrorists they have heard, seen or known before!
A feeling of extreme uneasiness and panic began to spread rapidly like a virus, as if the spiritual pillar that once supported him had collapsed in half and could collapse completely at any time!
This phenomenon continued until Pepper was forced to come out and give a public interview to clarify the rumors that Tony was defeated and killed, claiming that Tony had simply gone to a safe place after repelling the invading enemy and was preparing to eliminate the next group of terrorists.
Her clarification had a certain effect, but it still raised more questions!
The biggest question is where is Tony
If he was really fine, why didn't he show up all this time, and instead needed others to help him clarify this misunderstanding.
Could it be that after being defeated, Tony was captured by the terrorists
Or is it that the mighty Iron Man is scared and hiding
All kinds of rumors began to fly again, and as long as Tony didn't show up, these rumors would not be put to rest because of Pepper's "one-sided words".
At this critical juncture, Pepper could not care about her own mood and could only anxiously try to contact Tony in every possible way, but Tony disappeared just as the outside world had rumored, and his whereabouts were unknown!
At this moment, Pepper suddenly felt some self-blame and regret. Perhaps Tony's disappearance was also due to the last words she said.
And at this moment, the mysterious signal that had disappeared for several days appeared again!
And this time, the 'Mandarin' who appeared on TV directly claimed that the people he sent easily defeated Iron Man Tony and threw his body into the sea to feed the sharks. It was because the man was dead that no one could find him.
Then something even more lawless happened, because this time the terrorists targeted President Ellis and publicly announced that they would execute him, so he should quickly flee with his family and children.
This extremely infuriating remark silenced all the American people watching in front of the TV at this moment!
Because they seem to have discovered that the country has no way to deal with these terrorists. Now even Iron Man has been defeated, who else can they expect
For a time, the internet was filled with prayers hoping that the Avengers could come forward again to save them.
President Ellis angrily ordered Colonel Rhodes to capture these lunatics, and the source of the signal was also locked in Pakistan.
"Pakistan?"
Colonel Rhodes, who received the order, frowned and asked.
"Yes, Mr. President hopes that you can set out immediately to capture the enemy."
"I see."
Colonel Rhodes could not question the president's order, so he immediately put on the renamed Patriot and left. On his desk was the photo that Dior gave them, and next to it was the address that he had just searched for. It said... near Rose Hill, Tennessee, and not Pakistan!
At the same time, SHIELD also received communications from Steve and others, all of which were requests to fight.
And this time, including the former American hero Steve, they are not fighting for the United States. At least this is not their primary motivation.
The biggest reason why they wanted to deal with this extremely arrogant terrorist was naturally Tony!
Obviously, the terrorist attack on Tony's house aroused their anger, and they had both public and private reasons to take action.
However, this proposal was directly rejected by Nick Fury. They are S.H.I.E.L.D., not the American police, let alone the FBI, and dealing with terrorists is not their job.
And we have to know that SHIELD is a subordinate organization of the International Security Council, but its headquarters is located in the United States. Once this bad precedent is set, will SHIELD have to deal with such "trivial" matters in the world in the future
