Beginning Treatment

The next day, Lu Qi was awakened by Tony's call. Looking at Galacta, who was still fast asleep beside him, Lu Qi muted his phone first, then stepped outside before answering.

"Were you completely wasted yesterday? Why did it take you so long to answer?"

"You were the one who got wasted, weren't you? Yesterday, you actually wanted to arm-wrestle Hulk. I had to stop you for ages before I managed to hold you back."

Lu Qi shot back without hesitation. Tony fell silent for a moment, probably asking JARVIS about what had happened yesterday.

After quite a while, Tony continued, "The psychologists you asked me to find have arrived at the hospital. They're all top experts, so don't keep them waiting too long."

Hearing Tony pretend nothing had happened, Lu Qi could not help laughing twice. The moment Tony heard him laugh, he immediately hung up.

"That guy."

Lu Qi shook his head, glanced at the time, then went back inside to wake Galacta.

Watching her pajamas transform directly into regular clothes, Lu Qi raised an eyebrow.

This thing was pretty useful, though it was a little too precious—and not easy to tear.

Galacta rolled her eyes at Lu Qi. After breakfast, Lu Qi said goodbye and headed for the hospital.

At the hospital, the psychologists Tony had brought in were being watched by orderlies and were not allowed to leave the reception room.

The doctors were not mistreated. They had everything they needed; they simply were not allowed to wander around.

Seeing the orderlies watching them so seriously, the doctors all wore strange expressions.

Security was this tight—could this be the private hospital built by Tony Stark for the Defenders?

After all, as superheroes, those people must have gotten injured often. Yet there had never been any news
