Still Single

As a highly intelligent AI, JARVIS also came equipped with a public opinion analysis module.

After a brief analysis, JARVIS presented the results:

"Sir, it was probably because the terrifying battle between Hulk and Abomination had already happened before."

"The public had witnessed immensely powerful forces, raising their psychological threshold. In addition, the Angel codenamed Lucifer had effortlessly subdued both of them, further raising people's expectations for superheroes."

"So everyone might not find Iron Man's power and identity quite as shocking."

Tony sighed helplessly.

"Well, since my lifesaver beat me to the punch, I suppose that's fine. After all, without him, I might not even be standing here."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly rose to his feet.

"Come to think of it, I've been busy dealing with those people in the Middle East lately. I still haven't properly thanked him."

"I've decided. I'll throw a party to celebrate Iron Man's official debut, and invite Lucifer while I'm at it. I'm going to thank him properly in person! JARVIS, help me prepare the party arrangements."

"Certainly, sir. Making arrangements now," JARVIS replied.

Lu Xi leisurely walked out of the room, stretching lazily. He looked refreshed and invigorated.

Inside the room, a heavy scent of hormones still lingered.

Daisy was sprawled out like a lazy kitten, completely exhausted and unconscious.

In her attempt to defeat Lu Xi just now, she had even used her angelic power.

Unfortunately, Lu Xi's Skyfather-level stamina was not something a mere angelic subordinate like her could contend with.

Lu Xi walked briskly toward the villa entrance, where Agent Hill had already set up a desk.

She sat at the gate of the courtyard, diligently receiving visitors and recording each person's information and trade requests.

Seeing this, Lu Xi's lips curled into a faint smile.

Now, he was finally completely free.

When Wanda and Pietro saw Lu Xi, they hurried over.

Wanda's eyes were filled with guilt. She lowered her head and said softly,

"My lord, it's all because I'm too useless. I can't even handle something as simple as being a receptionist. I can't help you with anything by your side..."

Lu Xi smiled and gently rubbed Wanda's hair.

"This isn't your fault. Pietro and you merely lack experience. It isn't because you're incapable."

As he spoke, Lu Xi had a thought. He realized he could no longer let the two of them waste their time without purpose.

Otherwise, even if they truly developed superpowers in the future, insufficient maturity would still leave them unable to accomplish anything—and make them even more dangerous.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xi made arrangements in an orderly manner.

"How about this, Wanda? Go assist Agent Hill with sorting through those transactions for the time being."

"Listen and observe more during the process. You'll learn plenty of useful things."

At once, surprise flashed through Wanda's eyes. She nodded vigorously and answered brightly,

"Yes, my lord! I'll definitely work hard and do a good job!"

Lu Xi then turned his gaze toward Pietro and asked,

"As for you, would you like to train at S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while?"

Pietro froze slightly, uncertainty and lack of confidence flashing through his eyes.

"Ah, can I really do that?"

Lu Xi patted Pietro on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Don't worry. I know the people at S.H.I.E.L.D. well. I'll have them arrange some safe work for you."

"You'll get some training and learn quite a few things as well."

Hearing that, Pietro's worries immediately faded somewhat. He nodded firmly and said,

"All right, my lord. I'm willing to give it a try!"

Hill watched the entire scene from not far away and could not help secretly spitting in disdain.

"Pah, what a scumbag god!"

She had seen it all just now. That guy had clearly been indulging himself wildly with Daisy in the room.

Yet the next moment, he had come outside to flirt with a young girl.

She could tell at a glance that Wanda clearly had feelings for Lu Xi.

And Lu Xi seemed like the type who would welcome anyone who came his way.

Just then, Lu Xi's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and answered it. Tony Stark's enthusiastic voice came through from the other end.

"Lord Lucifer, in order to properly thank you for saving my life, I've carefully prepared an interesting party. Would you be willing to honor me with your presence?"

Lu Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. Thinking of Tony's playful nature, he could not help asking first,

"No problem, but let me ask first. You're not throwing an orgy, are you? I don't like unclean women."

He knew that Tony loved throwing all kinds of flashy parties, so it was necessary to confirm beforehand.

Tony was briefly stunned on the other end of the line, then hurriedly explained,

"Uh... of course not. Absolutely not. You'll know when you get here, my lord. I guarantee this party will be interesting. You won't be disappointed."

Lu Xi nodded and said,

"All right. Send me the time and location. I'll be there on time."

After hanging up, Tony immediately made some last-minute adjustments.

"JARVIS, change the guest list immediately. Get rid of all those cover girls."

"Certainly, sir. Then who should be invited instead?"

Tony thought for a moment before saying,

"Invite... forget it. I'll draft this part of the guest list myself. You just handle the arrangements for everyone else."

Night fell, and Tony Stark's villa was like a dazzling city that never slept, with deafening DJ music blasting through the air.

Multicolored lights flashed and intertwined across the dance floor as the crowd danced wildly to the rhythm. Laughter and cheers blended together.

Tony wore a cool Iron Man suit, its faceplate flipped up to reveal his face and its unruly smile.

With a bottle in one hand, he danced to his heart's content amid the packed dance floor.

His unusual appearance drew countless glances from those around him.

The Iron Man suit gleamed with metallic luster as he moved, reflecting the surrounding lights and creating an intensely striking sight.

Watching the Iron Man suit dance, the crowd could not help cheering, pushing the party atmosphere to another peak.

Just then, Lu Xi walked in with calm, unhurried steps.

In an instant, as though drawn by some invisible force, every eye in the room turned toward him.

That was hardly surprising. After all, his face had been flooding television and the internet for days.

"Look, he looks like that Angel!" a young woman said in surprise.

"What do you mean, looks like him? It's obviously him!" her companion immediately corrected her.

"Let's go ask for an autograph later. It'd be great if we could get a photo with him too."

Tony noticed the commotion at the entrance and immediately pushed through the crowd toward Lu Xi.

He warmly extended a hand, his face beaming with a sincere smile.

"Lord Lucifer, I've finally been waiting for you."

Lu Xi glanced around the lively party and said,

"The party has already started? I'm not late, am I?"

Tony hurriedly waved his hand.

"The timing is perfect. Come on, let me introduce you to someone."

As he spoke, he led Lu Xi over to the bar.

An Asian woman sat beside the bar. She had bright eyes, white teeth, snow-white skin, and a graceful figure.

Her temperament was especially pure and innocent, as though she were a naive campus beauty untouched by the ways of the world.

Tony introduced her with a broad smile. "This is Dr. Helen Cho, one of my partners. Don't let her beauty fool you—she's actually a super genius. Her research in biotechnology and nanotechnology is extremely advanced. Even I have to seek her advice in this field."

Afterward, he leaned close to Lu Xi's ear and added in an extremely low voice, "Still single."

Lu Xi's lips lifted slightly as he smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, Dr. Cho."

The moment Helen Cho saw Lu Xi, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered a priceless treasure. She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, are you the Angel from TV who defeated those two big guys?"

Lu Xi nodded slightly, his tone calm. "That should be me."

Tony patted Lu Xi on the shoulder. "You two talk. I'm going back to take off the suit. Dancing in armor is really exhausting."

Lu Xi nodded as he watched Tony turn and leave.

Helen Cho's gaze, however, seemed to be held fast by a magnet and never left Lu Xi again. Her eyes practically sparkled as she hurriedly pulled out her phone and looked at him expectantly. "Can I take a photo with you?"

Seeing her eager expression, Lu Xi readily agreed.
