Young People Are Just Young People

Having made up his mind, Rorschach didn't hesitate much.

He didn't linger outside any longer, but drove directly back to Howard Stark's mansion.

"How was it, Rorschach? Must feel amazing!"

Howard Stark, having heard the news, came out and said to Rorschach excitedly.

Although Rorschach really wanted to say that the experience was actually terrible, far worse than cars from later generations, he still said insincerely, "Of course, Mr. Stark."

"I'm glad you like it!"

Howard Stark was very pleased to see his car being recognized by someone else.

After parking the car, he handed the car keys to Howard Stark.

Rorschach carefully chose his words and said to Howard Stark, "Mr. Stark, I have a request that might put you in a difficult position, but if you agree, it will count as repaying the favor for me saving you."

Howard Stark was genuinely curious.

His favor was very precious, and Rorschach decided to use it now?

He just didn't know what kind of request was worth Rorschach using his favor.

"Tell me, Rorschach," Howard Stark said to Rorschach with great curiosity.

"I want to buy this car from you."

Rorschach said to Howard Stark with a fanatical tone, "I love it so much. I just drove it around and found I can't live without it."

He put on an act of a hot-blooded young man, willing to do anything for a beloved car.

Howard Stark was silent for a few seconds, then stared at Rorschach with suspicion, "Rorschach, are you sure? Or are you joking with me?"

This request was too absurd!

His favor, the favor of the great Howard Stark, was only worth a car?

What a joke!

What's more, the other party wanted to buy it, not just ask for it directly!

"Mr. Stark, I know this might sound immature, even ridiculous, but this is indeed my request. I really love this car," Rorschach confirmed solemnly to the other party.

Howard Stark looked at Rorschach for a few moments and finally confirmed that he was serious.

Although he felt someone like Rorschach should be more mature, he then thought about it again. Rorschach's age was still there.

It wasn't hard to understand that he might show some childishness at times.

"Rorschach, I did many absurd and unreliable things when I was young. You're quite something, just like me."

"This car is nothing. If you really want it, I can give it to you for free. But think carefully, do you really want to use up my favor so easily?"

Howard Stark asked Rorschach seriously.

His favor could play a huge role at critical moments!

"Yes, Mr. Stark!" Rorschach said firmly.

"Although I think this is a great pity, Rorschach, since it's your request, then..."

Howard Stark thought for a moment, then handed the car keys back to Rorschach. "This car is yours now, and you don't need to pay for it. My favor isn't that cheap."

"But this also means we're even."

"I understand! You don't owe me anything anymore." Rorschach nodded. Things had gone much smoother than he had imagined.

But then again, for someone like Howard Stark, a car was indeed insignificant.

"Well, congratulations, Rorschach, on getting a beloved car," Howard Stark said jokingly from the side.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark, goodbye!"

Rorschach waved goodbye to Howard Stark, got into the Cadillac, started the engine, and drove away in a flash.

"He's still just a child."

Howard Stark watched Rorschach's receding figure and sighed, shaking his head, then walked back inside.

The car was obtained, so what should he do next?

Rorschach fell into thought.

First and foremost, he needed to figure out what secrets this car held. That was the ultimate goal.

And Rorschach believed that this request wouldn't be too difficult for the genius scientist Hank.

Coupled with Rorschach's relationship with Hank, it was just a matter of saying a word.

As a fallback, if even Hank couldn't discover anything, then there would be no hope with anyone else.

However, Rorschach quickly dismissed this idea. He couldn't drive the car back to Xavier's Manor, nor could he let other mutants discover it.

This was because the car involved Rorschach's system.

This was Rorschach's ultimate secret.

Not to mention, this car wasn't just any ordinary car.

It contained a special energy source, or more precisely, an energy source intimately linked to Rorschach's strengthening.

Although it was an energy source that couldn't be extracted yet, perhaps analyzing an unextractable energy source could yield some information about extractable ones?

One couldn't be too careful with matters like this.

Rorschach nimbly changed direction, turning onto another street and stopping in a convenient spot.

After meticulously inspecting the car inside and out once more and confirming there was nothing amiss, Rorschach finally found a car repair shop.

He decided to find a mechanic there to dismantle the car.

After all, dismantling a car was a technical job that not just anyone could do; a professional was needed.

"Wow, man, tell me I'm not seeing things, is that a Cadillac?"

While the car looked rather gaudy to Rorschach, to others, it was incredibly cool.

Everyone busy working inside and out at the repair shop erupted in surprise, their eyes wide.

A young Black man holding a wrench exclaimed dramatically.

"People who drive cars like this usually don't come to places like ours."

A man wearing a hat, who looked like the owner, also walked over. He looked at Rorschach and politely asked, "How can I help you?"

"I need the car repaired. Which of your mechanics has the most skillful hands?" Rorschach stated directly.

"Heh, it's not that I, Old Jack, am bragging, but I've been in this business for over twenty years, and there's no car I can't fix!"

A somewhat chubby middle-aged man in the yard enthusiastically recommended himself to Rorschach.

"Although I don't really like his bragging, I have to admit, he truly is our best!"

The owner chimed in with an agreement.

"Old Jack, right? Do you have time right now?"

Rorschach asked, looking at Old Jack.

"Hey, Ryan, do you think I have time right now?"

Old Jack asked his boss for his opinion, as he was currently busy with another job.

"If you're in a real hurry, sir..."

Owner Ryan pondered for a moment before making his decision.

Ryan would naturally offer preferential treatment to a wealthy customer like Rorschach; that's just how the world worked.

"Then Old Jack, let's start now. Help me take this car apart!"

Rorschach said to Old Jack.
