Captain America Joins the Team

Moreover, his goal wasn't simply the 2 billion; he looked at Steve, a glint of cunning in his eyes.

Steve looked at Peggy beside him, a determined glint in his eyes.

"I have no money, but do you think I'm worth..."

"Two billion, I'll buy it," Peggy interrupted Steve before he could finish speaking.

Steve stared at his lover in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief, wondering where all that money came from.

"The position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. is very convenient."

Peggy winked playfully, a sly smile playing on her lips.

How could she possibly live on a fixed salary all these years?

Whether it's using their high position to open back doors for themselves or withholding unused activity funds, they can make a fortune.

We can still come up with 2 billion.

Steve gave a wry smile, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that Peggy might be doing this to cope with unknown risks and secure her future, but ultimately, this method went against the principles and beliefs he had always upheld.

But at this moment, in order to give Peggy a chance to live longer, he couldn't bring himself to blame her.

Tom was a little surprised, but it didn't matter; he had a backup plan.

"I need to remind you that this potion can only be used once."

"That's enough. Let me help him adjust to this new world, and then I'll find a new lover to be by his side."

Peggy seemed to have regained her energy, but her eyes were full of wariness as she looked at him.

"Peggy..."

Steve was deeply moved, his eyes slightly reddening, and he held Peggy's hand tightly.

However, with one being young and handsome and the other having white hair, plus casually throwing out 2 billion, they all seem like gigolos who inherit a rich wife's fortune.

Tom seemed moved by their story and gritted his teeth.

"This is a company secret and shouldn't be shared with others, but Captain America and Ms. Carter have dedicated their lives to this country, so I'll tell you anyway!"

"No, I don't want to hear it."

Peggy now only wants to buy the potion and leave; this cunning businessman wants Steve.

"Mr. Tom, may I ask?"

Steve, however, spoke up, not satisfied with just ten years; he wanted to hear if there were other ways to buy Peggy more time.

"The Rejuvenation Potion, the latest work of the Dr. Youth,' can make an old person's age return to youth."

Tom's voice carried a hint of seduction.

Even Peggy was a little breathless now, and refused, "No need, we just want the longevity medicine."

Longevity drugs would drain her assets, Rejuvenation Potion would be exorbitantly priced.

She knew very well that such expectations were beyond their means.

"Mr. Tom, how much does the Rejuvenation Potion cost?"

Steve asked, his eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

"This medicine won't be sold. The ingredients are scarce, and it's an item that only core members of the group can purchase, requiring 10,000 Contribution Points."

Tom said calmly.

He was the one who proposed the Contribution Points system. As the Demon Group's power grew, it needed to establish a reasonable reward, punishment, and promotion mechanism, and the Contribution Points came into being.

It can not only measure the value and contribution of employees, but also effectively motivate employees to create more benefits for the group.

The group's internal members are clearly divided into three levels: three, two, one, and core personnel.

The items purchased varied widely, ranging from various demonic superpowers to high-tech weapons—a dazzling array.

They could even buy Iron Man Armor, which were discarded items that Tony himself had put up. However, even though they were discarded items, they were still coveted treasures for many members.

How to become a core member.

Steve stared intently at Tom, his voice low and resolute.

He knew he was being drawn deeper and deeper into an unknown vortex, but he couldn't refuse.

"Steve, I've lived long enough. Ten more years is enough."

Peggy gently took Steve's hand.

"But I'm not enough. I haven't gone on a date with you, danced with you, or..."

Steve felt a pang of sadness; this was the last person he would ever know and the one he loved most in this world.

"Well."

Peggy sighed, a resolute glint in her eyes. At worst, they'd face it together.

"To become a core member, normally you need to join the group and start as a level three employee, but I don't think either of you can wait that long."

Tom continued, "There's another way: direct recommendation from core members. If they gain the leader's approval, they can directly become core members."

"Then, Mr. Tom, are you?" Steve asked eagerly.

"Of course, I was very lucky to gain the leader's favor; otherwise, given my status, becoming a first-level employee would be the best I could hope for."

Tom was also somewhat fortunate to have joined the Demon Group when it was still in its infancy, thus becoming a core member.

There's no way around it; the Demon Group treats them too well.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Tom."

Steve stood up and bowed deeply, his eyes filled with earnestness and expectation.

"Don't be like that, Steve, we'll be colleagues from now on."

Tom was also startled by Steve's actions and quickly went over to help Steve.

People who grew up in this country generally have some respect for the hero Captain America.

Tom stopped wasting time and took out his phone to contact the leader.

"Hey, Tom, what's wrong?"

"Leader, no, it's just that Captain America has arrived, and I'm recommending him to become a core member. Do you agree?"

"Captain America, what does he want?"

"Rejuvenation Potion"

I've come back for a visit.

As soon as Tom hung up the phone, Steve eagerly asked, "Mr. Tom, is that alright?"

"We'll have to wait a little longer."

As soon as Tom finished speaking, a portal opened beside him.

Kino walked out wearing beach shorts, looking casual and relaxed.

"Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter."

Kino looked at the two of them.

"Demon King, I want to join the Demon Group."

Steve watched him nervously, his hands clenching unconsciously; this was their last hope.

"Tell me first, how did you find out about the Life Extension Potion?"

Kino's tone was indifferent; he didn't seem to show much surprise or enthusiasm about Captain America's joining.

"I overheard it from someone else, Demon King. I'll do anything for Peggy if you can give her the Rejuvenation Potion."

Peggy gently tugged at Steve's sleeve and said, "Steve, don't be so humble."

Her eyes were full of heartache, yet also revealed a resolute determination.

Kino's lips curled slightly into a half-smile as he said, "Just heard about it by chance? Life Extension Potion aren't exactly a secret, but they're not something you can just hear about casually."

"Demon King, I'm here..." Steve recounted what had happened at the hospital.

Kino knew it was Hydra's doing; was this a gesture of surrender?

However, he doesn't need Captain America. In terms of strength, he only has one super soldier, Demon Group has plenty of them. As for reputation, no one in this country can compare to him.

Its only value is to serve as experimental material for Dr. Banner in his research on the 2.0 version of the Enhancement Potion.

Kino crossed his arms and looked Steve up and down.

Peggy stared at Kino. She wasn't authorized to access S.H.I.E.L.D..'s files at the moment; she could only learn about the Demon King through the news.

The Demon King's gaze towards Steve wasn't all respect; it even held a hint of disdain. Why?

Steve's story of saving the world is true, and he has just awakened. Why is this happening when he first meets the Demon King?

Tom was also a bit confused, wondering what the leader was thinking.

Steve, however, waited with unwavering resolve for Kino's reply.

After a moment of silence, Kino slowly spoke, "Steve, your offer isn't very appealing to me."

However, I can give you a chance; answer a few questions for me.

"Okay," Steve replied without hesitation.
