A week has passed since Tony threw the pool party, and Jiraiya has become a regular at Tony's place, going there even more often than Kankuro, practically living there permanently.
Tony was also very happy to have a free ninja to help him test the new armor.
During this time, Charlotte selected five 084 Object from S.H.I.E.L.D.. Since the value of each 084 Object could not be determined before the recharge, he could only choose based on his intuition. In the end, the recharge of these five items only brought him 10,000 Gold Coin.
This result was rather disappointing for Charlotte, as its value was significantly reduced compared to the Energy Block produced by the Tesseract.
However, since things had already come to this point, Charlotte didn't pursue the matter further, but instead decided to find a way to rip off S.H.I.E.L.D..

On the other side.
A group of Hydra agents arrived in Wakanda under the pretext of a business partnership.
In what appears to be a relatively underdeveloped and impoverished town, lies the capital that Wakanda has publicly declared.
As the Captain of this Hydra team, Vail was not a Winter Soldier, but he was in charge of this mission.
The objective of this mission is to purchase enough Vibranium, but his plan is to try diplomacy first and then resort to force if he cannot buy it with money.
He brought a large number of orders and even financial assistance. Standing in front of the conference room, looking at the poor and backward country, he was confident that this mission could be completed easily.
Inside the royal palace of Wakanda, a soldier reports the situation to the king.
"King T'Chaka, a merchant has arrived from beyond the border with an order worth over $1 billion. He wishes to meet with you."
Upon hearing his soldiers' report, T'Chaka smiled, "It's quite rare to see outsiders wanting to cooperate with Wakanda."
"In that case, let's meet these people and see what they really want."
T'Challa nearby, spoke up, "Father, could there be a conspiracy?"
T'Chaka looked at his son and laughed, "Wakanda is so poor, and they've come with such a huge order; how could there not be a conspiracy?"
Hearing his father mention poverty, T'Challa glanced at everything outside the kingdom. Poverty?
"Father, bring the guards along."
T'Chaka glanced at his son T'Challa and said, "T'Challa, you and Okoye come with me."
"You'll be dealing with these kinds of people in the future too."
T'Chaka then took his son T'Challa, along with Okoye and a squad of Royal Guard, and flew to Wakanda outside the border.
After Vail in the Reception Room for a while, the door to the conference room opened, and first the female guards of the Royal Guard walked in with spears, standing at the entrance of the conference room as if to welcome guests. Then T'Chaka T'Challa.
Looking at these strangely dressed women carrying spears, Vail couldn't help but lament their backwardness.
However, when his gaze fell on the two people who walked in from behind, he knew that the older one was the King of Wakanda, and the younger one was the Prince of Wakanda. He hadn't expected that even the heir would come along. That was good.
However, this prince seems to really like leopards; he was even carrying a leopard head mask during a business meeting. That's quite interesting.
At this moment, Vail stood up and greeted the two of them:
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Highness!"
T'Chaka glanced at the group of four in the conference room, his gaze finally settling on Vail, who had spoken first, a smile on his face, "On behalf of Wakanda, I am delighted to have you here, Mr. Vail Will."
T'Challa greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Vail Will."
Then T'Chaka spoke up, "Mr. Vail Will, I heard from the Ministry of Trade that you brought in a huge order?"
"Your Majesty, Wakanda is an agricultural and pastoral nation, cultivating large quantities of grain and grazing large numbers of cattle and sheep."
"My company is willing to purchase your grain and livestock, and we are willing to establish a long-term cooperation with you for this purpose."
T'Chaka looked at the other man and smiled, "Mr. Vail wants to see me, surely it's not just because of these business orders?"
"If it were just these commercial orders, I believe Mr. Vail wouldn't have offered such a high price, nor would he have requested a special meeting with me."
However, instead of using large-scale purchasing to drive down prices, Vail's order was placed at a rate five percent higher than the market price.
Don't underestimate this 5%; it translates to a very large profit margin on this order.
Vail hearing T'Chaka's words, Fell smiled and said, "Haha, King T'Chaka is right."
"I do have a small request, and I won't let you help me for nothing."
T'Chaka looked at the other person. "Tell me, what is your request?"
"I want to acquire a batch of Vibranium at the market price of $20,000 per gram. The quantity doesn't need to be too large; $500 million will suffice."
Vail didn't know how much Vibranium T'Chaka still had, but based on the intelligence he had, it was clear that it was running low.
T'Chaka then showed a slightly apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Mr. Vail."
"We haven't had any Vibranium in stock since Ulysses Klaue stole it from Wakanda 25 years ago."
Vail shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, outsiders may not know, but I do know that you have been engaged in Vibranium transactions with the Five Great Nations for many years."
"We really don't need much Vibranium, just 25,000 grams. I'm sure that won't be difficult for you."
"Therefore, our company is willing to provide some infrastructure assistance to Wakanda, and can even provide a batch of low-interest or even interest-free loans."
"Furthermore, this grain and livestock transaction will not be a one-off deal; it could even be a five-year-long agreement."
Sitting next to his father, T'Challa couldn't help but marvel at the generosity of his father's gesture. After all, he had studied at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and had a direct understanding of money, so it was clear that his father was showing great sincerity.
However, T'Chaka remained unmoved and said, "We have no Vibranium left. All of Vibranium has been ordered by the Five Great Nations, and this deal will be completely terminated in five years."
Vail frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that Wakanda's Vibranium was also running out, with only five years' worth of trading volume left. This was going to be a difficult situation.
