Girls in the Western world were relatively more open-minded. Sometimes, he had to admire how easily they took things.
French romance was the most thorough of all. After all, no one even knew who the father of the child was. This damned city of romance!
Wanda had not only gained superpowers; her physical abilities had also greatly improved. She could even reach speeds of one hundred meters per second!
Gwen would be staying at the villa for two days for now. By then, she would be able to control her spider-sense and various powers.
Neither of them had a Super Brain. It would take them much longer to control their strength, speed, and all that stuff. Fortunately, the two could train together and discuss their condition—no, their powers...
Chen Xi continued sunbathing in the garden while the two girls ran, did push-ups, high knees, and other basic exercises nearby.
Age: 24 [This Universe] Faction: A scheming fence-sitter Companions: Unawakened Scarlet Witch Wanda, Terminator, Lockdown, Spider-Gwen Physique: Bronze Superman [Silver Superman locked] Strength: 1,560 tons Speed: Mach 4 Abilities: Steel Body, Bioelectric Field, Heat Vision, Telekinesis [Other abilities awaiting awakening] Justice Points: 41,680.
"It seemed I got a little stronger again. A Kryptonian physique really suited a lazy person like me. I could get stronger just by lying around like a salted fish."
Chen Xi smugly closed the panel. A life of winning while lying down was just that awesome!
Bzzz... bzzz...
At that moment, the phone on the coffee table lit up. With a wave of his hand, it automatically flew before his eyes. He was now too lazy even to move his hands, claiming it was training for his telekinesis...
"Hello, Tony. What is it?"
"Hahaha, my good brother, I'm holding a party at my villa tonight. Come have some fun."
"Comrade Tony, I'm not interested in your parties. It's all expired goods. Have fun by yourself."
Chen Xi shook his head with a smile and refused. This guy really was Marvel's famous playboy.
A small gathering every three days, a big party every five...
He had just taken out Obadiah Stane and regained control of Stark Industries, yet he was already impatient to throw a party...
"Oh no, buddy, you misunderstood me this time. I have something very important to announce."
"Fine, I'll go tonight. But if you're trying to invest in my new movie by stuffing actresses into it, forget it."
Chen Xi warned him again. This guy picked up girls every day under the banner of being his best buddy, constantly promising them roles in Chen Xi's movies...
The key was, he used Chen Xi's name, but he got the girls!
"Hehe, don't worry. Even if I stuffed microphones into their mouths, I wouldn't stuff them into your movie," Tony promised with a lewd grin.
"Get lost! You greasy old man!"
Chen Xi snapped and hung up. This guy was always thinking about stuffing microphones in somewhere.
As evening fell.
Chen Xi said goodbye to Wanda and Gwen, preparing to attend the party.
He had thought Wanda would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, she seemed relieved and urged him to leave quickly...
"Wanda, aren't you going to do anything about him fooling around with someone like Tony Stark? Aren't you afraid he'll cheat on you behind your back?"
Gwen was utterly confused. Birds of a feather flocked together.
Wouldn't hanging around Tony Stark drag him down sooner or later?
"As long as his heart is with me, isn't that enough? Those women are merely passing diversions."
Wanda smiled calmly, completely unconcerned. Those female celebrities who wanted to cling to powerful men and rise to the top would stick to Chen Xi whenever they had the chance, hoping something might happen between them. She had long grown used to it.
Chen Xi drove his Ferrari at breakneck speed to Tony Stark's massive villa. By then, the place was already packed.
Tycoons, CEOs, celebrities, rich second-generation heirs, and more...
The beautiful female stars were dressed to the nines, as busy as little bees among flowers. To them, this place was practically a garden of opportunity, filled with wealthy and influential people everywhere.
The rich chatted and laughed, casually discussing business deals worth tens or hundreds of millions. It was clearly a business venue.
When Chen Xi appeared, the atmosphere of the entire venue seemed to rise to another high. Almost instantly, everyone surged toward him with friendly smiles. Yes, surged toward him.
They scrambled over to greet him warmly...
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, long time no see. My daughter is one of your loyal fans. How about you meet her?"
"Chen, have you found investors for your new movie sequel? If not, perhaps we could work together?"
"Dear Chen, my sisters and I would like to discuss the script with you late tonight. Would that work for you?"
"..."
Faced with such enthusiasm, Chen Xi could only smile and brush them off.
How realistic this scene was!
All the bustling under heaven was for profit; all the coming and going under heaven was for gain.
Back then, he had taken The Lord of the Rings script to countless film companies, only to be ignored by every one of them. Of course—what film company would waste time meeting an unknown nobody?
It was only after he serialized Harry Potter online that people truly began to notice him. After that, everything went smoothly.
Only strength represented everything!
Movies were money-printing machines. The scripts Chen Xi had recreated by drawing on the strengths of countless works were practically guaranteed profits.
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Xi finally escaped their bombardment and found Tony Stark.
"Hey, buddy, let me show you something good."
The moment they met, Tony Stark proudly displayed his greatest creation: the Iron Armor.
"I'll show you something good too."
Seeing Tony trying to show off in front of him, how could Chen Xi let him get away with it?
"What treasure? A new script?"
Tony looked thoroughly smug. How could Chen Xi possibly possess the wisdom of the genius Tony Stark?
"Hehe, don't blink."
Chen Xi looked at him mysteriously, then took a piece of metal from his pocket and tossed it into Tony's hand.
"This is...!!"
Tony's eyes instantly widened. He simply could not believe it.
"That's right! This is Vibranium!"
Chen Xi nodded proudly. Hadn't Tony just been proudly showing off his Iron Armor? Go on, show off some more.
"Where did you get Vibranium? My father only got one piece, and he made it into a shield for Steve."
Tony looked at Chen Xi in shock. He could not imagine how Chen Xi had gotten a piece of Vibranium like this.
"Hehe, what do you think? Want it? If you give me one of every armor set you make in the future, I can sell it to you cheaply."
Chen Xi smiled. His desire for Iron Armor was hardly small. While he did not need the stuff himself, it had immense collectible value!
"Heh, impossible! There can only be one Iron Man!"
Tony refused without hesitation. Someone as full of himself as he was could never agree to let someone else steal his spotlight.
"Is that lousy title of yours even worth stealing? Kid, you've never seen anything truly good in your life."
Chen Xi was speechless. Would a mighty Superman steal Iron Man's title? What a joke. He could crush him to death just by sitting on him!
"What? Lousy stuff? Do you have Iron Armor? Oh, I get it. You can dream—no, write it into your books."
Tony Stark indignantly widened his eyes. He truly lived up to Marvel's reputation as a master trash-talker. His skill at insulting people was practically better than his brain...
"You poor guy, all you have are some materials. Tell me, what treasure could you possibly—"
"Oh!! Fuck!! This is!!!"
Tony, who had been chattering endlessly, froze in shock. He felt as though his entire worldview had completely collapsed.
