Chapter Fifty-Eight Sadako
Tony actually misunderstood Bai Luo.
The one dancing gracefully with Bai Luo at this moment was none other than Sadako.
Bai Luo immediately spotted the bald figure. According to his original plan, he was supposed to land outside and then fight his way in. Although his System points had long been squandered, he could still draw talismans, and he had a whole stack of Palm Thunder Talismans in his possession.
Thus, Bai Luo intended to come in and deal with anyone he encountered by unleashing a Palm Thunder, clearing the area swiftly.
However, he never expected that Sadako would not follow the plan and instead brought him into the grand ballroom on the second floor. The moment they landed, Sadako revealed her form and gently took Bai Luo's hand with her pale, cold fingers.
At that instant, Bai Luo turned around to meet Sadako's watery gaze.
In the enchanting light, Sadako wore a long white dress, her eyes shimmering with a certain glow.
When she wasn't letting out terrifying screams with her hair disheveled, Sadako looked as beautiful as a figure from a painting. She gazed at Bai Luo, her lips parting slightly: "I brought you here, but before you start your massacre, will you dance with me?"
Performing was a wish of Sadako when she was alive; dancing was also her greatest love. However, fate led this girl down an entirely different path. The scene here stirred such thoughts within her, and Bai Luo was not surprised.
Meanwhile, Mizumura Memeko, who was threatening Obadiah Stane over the phone, exclaimed like an onlooker: "Wow!"
With such an invitation from a beauty, Bai Luo had no reason to refuse, especially since it was always Sadako's preference and dream.
Although Bai Luo felt that dancing in such an occasion was somewhat awkward, with a beauty by his side, all problems seemed trivial.
As for Tony... who was Tony?
Bai Luo paused, gently wrapping his arms around Sadako's soft waist, which had become real.
It was a graceful dance. Bai Luo didn't actually know how to dance, but Sadako did. She seemed to possess a natural magic that could draw her dance partners into her rhythm.
The white hem of her dress swirled as she twirled.
She smiled at Bai Luo, and it was the first time he had seen her smile since she regained her memories. It was enchanting and breathtaking, like a finely crafted porcelain piece.
The elegant dance of these two Easterners captivated the entire audience. People involuntarily stopped dancing, watching this scene unfold with genuine admiration.
Standing to the side, Coulson immediately recognized Bai Luo. He thought Bai Luo had come at Tony's invitation, and that the girl in the flowing white dress was his partner. As a friend, Coulson truly felt impressed; he even remarked to a nearby socialite, "This might be what poetry and painting mean in Eastern culture."
Indeed, this guy was completely absorbed by the two dancers and had no awareness of Tony's current embarrassing predicament.
Until a heart-wrenching shout shattered the beauty and tranquility.
"Bai Luo!" Tony's voice was inexplicably filled with sorrow. "I'm being hunted down while you're flirting!"
As soon as Tony spoke up, the dozen or so terrorists present realized their cover was blown. They quickly shifted from stealthy assassination to open attack. With the Bald Boss as their target, the terrorists pulled out their guns without hesitation and began firing.
In an instant, chaos erupted. People screamed, Coulson drew his gun to return fire, while Bai Luo and Sadako slowly came to a halt.
Sadako wore a faint smile on her face. "Annoying guy."
As she spoke, Tony, who had been dragging Potts toward Bai Luo, suddenly collapsed nearby.
Bai Luo remained silent.
Sadako's expression shifted back to that of an ice queen, and her form began to fade. "Once again, thank you. As for these pests, leave them to me."
With that, she completely vanished before Bai Luo's eyes. Immediately after, the terrorists who had just aimed to shoot Tony suddenly turned their guns on each other and began firing.
Even Coulson was taken aback, unsure of what was happening as the terrorists started fighting among themselves.
At that moment, Tony, who had just gotten back on his feet, rushed over to Bai Luo with anger etched on his face. "I called you for help, and you come here to flirt instead?"
Bai Luo replied, "I wasn't flirting!"
"Everyone saw it!" Tony retorted.
In Bai Luo's mind, Mizumura Memeko silently scoffed, "That wasn't flirting; you've already won over Sister Sadako."
"Stop talking!" Bai Luo snapped.
"You want me to stop talking?" Tony exclaimed. "I thought we were friends..."
Potts interjected, "Who exactly is he? Is he really your friend?"
"He is not my friend."
"No, no, no, we are, Ms. Potts. The situation here is a bit complicated," Bai Luo said.
"Wasn't it you who made me fall just now?" Tony interjected.
"What? How did you get that from this?"
"It must be because I interrupted your good time with your girlfriend, so you used your Eastern techniques to trip me."
Bai Luo took a deep breath and, in front of Potts, swung his hand and gave Tony a light smack on the forehead.
Tony fell backward in response.
Bai Luo looked at the stunned Pepper, shrugged, and laughed, "See? Not only did I trip him, but I also dared to hit him."
The situation in the room had descended into chaos.
About two hours later, inside Tony's mansion.
"So you're saying that before I even got a chance to act, Obadiah Stane had already lost it?" Tony Stark said, munching on a hamburger while looking at the report from Rhodes about the aftermath of the Disney Concert Hall incident.
Pepper couldn't help but glance at Bai Luo sitting across from her. "Yes, after the concert hall incident ended, they found Mr. Obadiah Stane in the restroom. He had completely lost his mind and was just shouting for his mother. As for why he suddenly went crazy, that’s still under investigation."
Tony nodded and asked, "What about the Ten Rings terrorists?"
"Most of them died from infighting. Their leader was shot in the leg and has been captured."
Tony exhaled, unable to resist glancing over at Bai Luo.
At that moment, Bai Luo was frowning at the hamburger in his hand. Seemingly noticing Tony's gaze, he remarked, "This cheeseburger is terrible. Next time I'm in China, I'll treat you to some Guo Bao Rou."
Tony nodded at Potts, signaling that she could leave. Once Pepper was gone, Tony said, "Those terrorists killing each other, and Obadiah Stane's madness—it's all connected to you, isn't it?"
Bai Luo smiled and replied, "Aren't you the one who asked me to solve the problem?"
Tony stared at him for a moment and said, "Sometimes I really think you're a terrifying person. Luckily, we're not enemies."
