To Sleep or Not to Sleep, That Is the Question / Let Me Show You Something Amazing

Tony, who had no fondness for Hammer Industries, wholeheartedly agreed. Although his primary goal was to advance in the field of technology, he was also a successful businessman, and he was naturally happy to see his old rival suffer.

It is said that the military has invested heavily in Hammer Industries, hoping to at least popularize the Arc Reactor and mass-produce the first generation of Iron Man Armor for soldiers.

If something unexpected happens at this point, then things will get really interesting.

However, in contrast to Tony's full support, Captain Steve, a pure American, held a different opinion.

From a national perspective, if Stark Group is allowed to dominate the defense industry, such a strong monopoly will inevitably lead to a situation where the company becomes too powerful to control.

However, since he had just joined the Avengers, and according to transaction records, Hammer Industries' background was indeed not clean, Captain America ultimately did not raise any explicit objections.

After all, it was just losing one business deal with Hammer Industries.

Kevin saw Steve's slightly furrowed brows, which eventually returned to calm, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Captain America probably didn't realize that Kevin's intention was to help Tony completely destroy Hammer Industries.

Then, the commander turned to Iron Man and gave him what he thought was a friendly expression.

"By the way, Tony, I heard that Hammer Industries' first military order will be handed over the day after tomorrow. Go to New York to show your support, and then have a good talk with Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko, the son of your father's old friend."

Lowering himself to negotiate with that despicable thief Justin Hammer? Tony was extremely reluctant upon hearing this, but in an instant, his eyes darted around, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"It's not grand enough for me to go alone. How about bringing my 'family members'?"

As expected of Marvel's most outrageous move; I didn't even mention it, and you already got it!

Kevin narrowed his eyes to slits and nodded with a smile.

Haha, his 'family members' are all those Iron Man Armor. Bringing these things along is more like causing trouble than showing support.

Furthermore, given Tony's show-off personality, it would be a miracle if he and Justin Hammer could get along peacefully.

Then, the dramatic rebellion of those military orders is about to unfold, and it would be a miracle if Hammer Industries, already suffering heavy losses, could even survive.

P. S.: The four founders of the Avengers.

Kevin

Nata

Tony

Steve.

Chapter 246 To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question.

"Hey, that sneaky smile... I have a feeling this guy's setting another trap?"

Lara nudged Alice beside her. The Countess, who knew her boss all too well, had clearly sensed a conspiracy.

"Anyway, it's not us who's stuck in the pit."

Alice, who didn't like Tony much, twirled the butterfly knife, smiled and whispered to Lara.

The Countess instantly understood and exchanged an Alice smile with Alice.

At this moment, Kevin shifted his gaze from Tony, who was lost in his own world, and began to scrutinize Captain America and Black Widow with his "kind" eyes.

"So, the remaining puzzle pieces are the second piece: Trask Industries' Sentinel Robot program, and the third piece: Mystique's attack on General Stryker..."

"Actually, these two matters can be investigated together..."

The commander recounted the strange events that occurred on his way to Dr. Bolivar Trask's convoy after the attack on the first expo.

Steve and Nata immediately realized that the Mutant School was probably involved in these matters.

"As for the Mutant School, Steve and I will sound them out together this time..."

"Whether General Stryker has imprisoned Mystique Raven is something I'll have to ask you, Natalia..."

"Besides that, I don't recommend you act alone. It would be best to request assistance from Director Nick of S.H.I.E.L.D...."

"Because I suspect that everyone who experienced that attack could potentially have been parasitized by nanobots..."

"And interrogating them requires sufficient political resources, and it seems that only you, the ballerina walking in the shadows, are most suitable for this task..."

Kevin's arrangement was meticulous, taking into account practical issues while also placing himself under Steve's surveillance.

"Tsk tsk, lips smeared with honey... no wonder you can fool so many outstanding women into being devoted to you..."

Natalia smiled charmingly at Kevin's blatant praise, but then winked at Ada, Alice, and the others present.

"Girls, this is a piece of advice from your elders: the sweeter someone's words, the darker their heart often is..."

The Black Widow, whose marriage was unhappy, took the list of attendees and, before leaving, couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks to Kevin.

After receiving the mission, Tony booked his flight to New York well in advance and even used modeling and calculations to design the coolest way for his family members to make their entrance.

Steve had a good impression of Kevin, a very sensible young man, and noticed that he would occasionally glance at the laboratory when he saw Kevin's gaze.

Captain America knew he couldn't carry out the mission until he got a definite result from inside, so he had to get through the night.

Therefore, Steve tactfully asked Tony for a guest room, intending to go back and rest, and also to report on the work here to bald Nick.

"How about I go with you..."

Alice had already been promoted to S-class Apostle, was worried about Kevin acting alone and softly offered a suggestion.

The commander gave a reassuring smile, shook his head slightly, indicating that his mind was made up.

On the one hand, under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.., his act of having BSAA members escort the three scientists was already bordering on illegality, and Nick, who wanted to resolve the matter, could at least turn a blind eye for now.

If the BSAA gets involved in missions that are outside its jurisdiction, it is indeed overstepping its bounds and may exceed Nick's tolerance limit.

On the other hand, the defenses of Stark Tower, which were left vulnerable, were not only protected by Tony's Arc Reactor technology, but also by the three scientists who were rebuilding 2B's body, leaving them utterly defenseless.

Therefore, someone must be stationed here. Only with BSA Team A gathered here can Kevin calmly deal with any unexpected events.

As night deepened, Kevin, exhausted both physically and mentally, took a hot shower and then went out onto the balcony for some fresh air.

Unexpectedly, he inadvertently discovered that under the parasol, Ada, dressed in a blue V-neck knitted dress, was leaning back in a deck chair, rubbing her ankles and knees, and the ice cubes in her glass of orange juice had already melted halfway.

"Does it hurt? Let me do it..."

Kevin sat on another recliner, looking somewhat reproachful, but as he chatted and laughed, he first rubbed his hands together until they were red before placing them on Ada's swollen and painful area.

Ada is clearly of Asian descent, naturally inheriting the characteristics of small pores and smooth skin, with a touch as soft as silk.

The female agent looked at the man who was massaging her acupoints with his head down, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, the fragrance of the shower gel lingering in her nostrils.

"Tell me, what exactly have you set your sights on this time?"

However, Kevin's deep question caused Ada's expression to freeze, and her face turned somewhat cold.

"Everything I get this time, you'll get a share..."

Under Ada's increasingly dark gaze, Kevin slowly raised his head, his expression somewhat serious.

"How about joining the BSAA? I don't want you to be constantly traveling in danger."

The beautiful female agent was slightly surprised, then smiled charmingly.

Some people are born to burn brightly; some exist in this world to decay; some live to forever chase adventure...

"You can't give up your nature..."

Kevin remained silent. Just as Ada had said, being a secret agent was her life. Even without being hired by [Anti-Entropy], there would be [Triple], or [Stark Industries], and so on.

Whether you are chosen or take the initiative, everyone has their own path to walk.

"Didn't your mother tell you that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie..."

"In our line of work, we don't give our true feelings to anyone, and I hope you're the same, newbie..."

"Besides, if I lose my job, will you support me?"

Ada noticed Kevin's disappointment and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, but in the end, to ease the atmosphere, she gave the commander a playful, coquettish glare.

In fact, she had long seen through this little fox. On the surface, he could think outside the box and make all the moves, but he couldn't shake the habit of valuing emotions too much.

Whether it was the meeting and parting of Toko City and 2B, or 2B's departure, he was too emotional.

As a secret agent, she hoped this little fox wouldn't let emotions cloud her judgment, because only in this way could she survive.

I will marry you!

A sentence that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally came out. Kevin bit his lower lip, opened his arms and hugged Ada, his expression extremely serious.

2B's departure greatly shocked him. In this chaotic and cruel world, no one is the true protagonist. No matter how dazzling a life is, it will still fall.

During the ambush at Cyberdyne Systems, he was constantly worried about Ada's safety.

Kevin had to admit that he cared about this woman and didn't want her to be caught up in danger, repeating 2B's mistake.

Seeing Ada's nonchalant chuckle, Kevin understood that perhaps only concrete actions could prove his resolve to this woman.

Therefore, the commander cupped Ada's cheeks in his hands and solemnly lowered his head.

However, just as their lips were about to touch, a slender, pale finger was placed between them.

Fifteen minutes later, Ada leaned back in her deck chair, enjoying the cool breeze. The orange juice, having completely melted the ice, had become bland and tasteless.

At that moment, the rooftop door was gently pushed open, and Sakurami Haruharu, dressed in a white coat and holding a hot coffee, slowly sat down next to Ada.

"This is a rare opportunity. Haven't you really considered it? Or I can pass on that message to him."

That night in Toko City, when Ada accidentally joined in, Sakurami Haruharu was still conscious.

As she spent more time with Kevin, her dislike for him gradually faded, and she genuinely hoped that Ada and Kevin could get together.

The enigmatic female agent picked up her orange juice, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Some people, if you sleep with them, may only be lovers for a lifetime; if you don't sleep with them, they may become lifelong confidants..."

"How do you suggest I choose?"

Sakurami Haruharu recalled her own experiences, she couldn't help but chuckle and clinked glasses with Ada in tacit agreement.

P. S.: Kevin hadn't actually figured out how to handle his relationship issues; he was simply afraid of losing them.

Therefore, Ada's refusal was actually the most sensible thing to do.

I've always felt that her charm lies not only in her sexiness and mystery, but also in her intelligence and thoughtfulness.

Chapter 247, Section 261: I'll Show You a Big Treasure

The backyard of the Dokushima Dojo.

YoRHa Unit Scanner Unit 21, whose skin paint has peeled off in several places, leans against a pillar in the corridor, holding a chubby orange cat in his arms.

The girl cast a complicated gaze at the Pod 042 support robot (belonging to 2B) hovering in front of her, her tightly closed lips finally opening and closing helplessly.

"Scanner Unit 21, access granted, initiating wide-area search, locating target Attacker type 2 (A2 for short), requesting information report..."

Meanwhile, in the desert region of Southern California, along Interstate 40.

Thomas drove his 23rd birthday present—a silver-white Chevrolet sedan—speeding along the road, taking in the desolate western scenery along the way.

The two tattooed, pierced, non-mainstream friends in the back seat were blasting heavy metal music and puffing away in the car.

For these graduating, third-rate college students, their daily holiday trips are nothing more than a period of unbridled indulgence.

The destination of this trip was naturally to experience a paradise like Las Vegas, and incidentally, team up with some buddies for some fun.

However, due to the long drive and the fact that I didn't bring a female companion, the lack of sex in the ice-cold beer and ** did indeed dampen my spirits.

If he could bump into a pretty girl hitchhiking along the way, that would be even better; Thomas had three boxes of ultra-thin, breathable gear under his seat.

Just as Thomas took the cigarette handed to him from behind and took a deep drag, the sensation made him start having all sorts of fantasies.

His dazed gaze suddenly fell upon two figures not far ahead, carrying backpacks and standing by a road sign, waving to stop a stopped vehicle.

As they drew closer, they spotted a blonde woman with long, wavy hair in a white tank top and a silver-haired beauty in a black lace gothic outfit, both quite attractive.

As the Chevrolet pulled over to the side of the road, a burly Black man with an ice-cold beer in the back seat leaned out of the window, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his aggressive gaze fixed on the two men's chests.

"Hey beautiful, want a ride? How about sitting on my lap? This road is bumpy, I promise you'll be comfortable the whole way."

The guy spoke with a lecherous grin, even flexing his bulging crotch, seemingly eager to display his racial prowess.
