Captain America Awakens, Luo Wen Shows His Skills
After finishing the meal, Sharon and Hill's little bellies were both round, and they leaned against the sofa without wanting to move.
"So, Sharon, I didn't lie to you, did I? My brother's cooking is the best in our branch!"
Hill bragged to Sharon.
"Mhm! It was so delicious!"
Sharon nodded repeatedly and even swallowed, as though recalling the taste from earlier.
Hill then revealed her familiar smile again. "So, do you want to eat his cooking often?"
Luo Wen was clearing the dishes. Hearing Hill's words, he immediately rolled his eyes.
Sharon glanced at Luo Wen, looking a little shy.
"Huh? Is that okay?"
"Of course it is. If you become his CEO, isn't it only natural for you to come over for meals?"
Hill said matter-of-factly.
"Then... okay!"
Seeing Luo Wen with his sleeves rolled up as he washed dishes in the kitchen, Sharon did not hesitate for long before nodding and agreeing to Hill's proposal.
"You agreed?"
Hill immediately looked delighted.
"Will your aunt be unhappy about it?"
Hill then asked with some concern.
Hill knew that Sharon's aunt was Peggy Carter, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders.
That was also why she thought so highly of Sharon.
"She won't. My aunt respects my choices. Actually, she didn't want me to join S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place."
Sharon replied.
She had only joined S.H.I.E.L.D. recently and did not feel a strong sense of belonging there. Moreover, the Kroll Alloy invented by Luo Wen had broad prospects for application, and he was directly offering her the position of the company's CEO. Naturally, she was willing to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.
"That's good." Hill was relieved.
Just as Luo Wen finished washing the dishes and came out, Hill immediately said to him excitedly.
"Luo Wen, Sharon agreed to be your CEO!"
"Is that so?" Luo Wen smiled at Sharon.
"Mhm!" Sharon nodded a little awkwardly, then lowered her head again.
She felt somewhat bashful, but also curious.
She was clearly very outgoing around others, yet she became especially nervous whenever she faced Luo Wen.
And although Luo Wen was two years younger than her, he seemed far more mature and composed.
"Thank you, Sharon. Welcome to Kroll Industries as its CEO."
Luo Wen smiled as he stepped forward and extended his hand to shake Sharon's.
"No, no, I should be thanking you for trusting me so much."
Sharon said awkwardly.
"Why aren't you thanking me? I'm obviously the one who put in the most effort, okay?"
Hill said with raised brows.
Luo Wen was speechless.
He did not know whether Hill had learned it from him, but she had become increasingly mischievous in private, completely unlike her dignified self at work.
"Sharon, handle the paperwork at the agency tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, come with me to an industrial exhibition. It'll also be Kroll Industries' debut."
When he saw Sharon off, Luo Wen said this to her.
"Okay."
Sharon was slightly surprised that work had come so quickly, but she still nodded without hesitation.
The next day, Sharon submitted an application to Fury to end her internship.
Luo Wen went to the Swallowed Star world to train in the morning, then returned directly at noon.
At two in the afternoon, Luo Wen stood in the S.H.I.E.L.D. lobby waiting for Sharon.
Sharon slowly walked toward him in a grayish-blue pantsuit.
Sharon was exceptionally beautiful, with fair skin and a height of 1.7 meters. With a pair of high heels on, she was extremely eye-catching.
She wore a little light makeup at the moment, which not only made her look even more beautiful but also concealed some of the youthful immaturity in her features.
"Sharon."
Luo Wen waved to Sharon.
Sharon immediately broke into a smile and quickened her pace.
Just as Luo Wen was about to take Sharon to the entrance to get the car, there was suddenly a loud bang!
Not far from them, a "wall" came crashing down!
Two fully armed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tumbled out from inside the wall.
Then, a tall, powerfully built man in a tight grey T-shirt, around thirty years old, sprang out from the other side of the wall.
The surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. employees were all drawn by the disturbance.
Luo Wen and Sharon were startled as well.
This was S.H.I.E.L.D. Who would dare cause trouble here?
Seeing so many people around him, the handsome blond man in the grey T-shirt frowned, overcome by a powerful sense of unease.
Without thinking further, he sprinted straight toward the S.H.I.E.L.D. entrance.
Luo Wen raised an eyebrow, since he and Sharon were standing in the direction of the entrance.
Luo Wen glanced at the fallen wall.
Calling it a wall was generous. It was actually made of sheet metal and drywall, while the room inside resembled a retro hospital from decades ago.
Luo Wen's heart stirred, and he instantly understood the situation before him.
Captain America had awakened after S.H.I.E.L.D. pulled him out of the ice!
The tall blond man before him was undoubtedly Captain America—Steve Rogers!
By then, Captain America had already picked up speed, charging recklessly ahead.
He pushed aside several S.H.I.E.L.D. employees blocking his way, desperate to flee this place that made him feel so uneasy.
He happened to rush right in front of Luo Wen.
Captain America instinctively tried to shove Luo Wen aside.
It was no light shove. If Luo Wen neither moved nor resisted, he would definitely be knocked to the ground.
He might not get hurt, but he would certainly look pathetic.
Luo Wen's gaze turned cold as he watched Captain America's outstretched hand.
"Luo Wen, move!"
Sharon called out anxiously.
Yet Luo Wen did not budge.
Just as Captain America's hand was about to land on Luo Wen's shoulder and shove him away, Luo Wen sidestepped and dodged it.
Then, Luo Wen seized Captain America's arm and smoothly executed a clean over-the-shoulder throw!
The anxiety in Captain America's eyes instantly turned into disbelief!
He had not expected Luo Wen to react so quickly, move so fast, and possess such strength!
But before he could even process his shock, Luo Wen had already used his momentum to flip him over. He spun through the air once before crashing to the ground.
Bang!
At that moment, Fury hurried out with a group of agents in black. The instant he saw the scene, surprise and delight appeared on his face.
"Luo Wen, hold him down!"
Fury shouted.
Hearing that, Luo Wen did not refuse. He immediately pinned Captain America down, bracing a knee against his spine and restraining him with a rear naked choke.
Seeing a large number of agents surrounding them, Captain America grew anxious.
The powerful muscles all over his body tensed violently as he tried to break free from Luo Wen's restraint.
Luo Wen instantly felt an immense force surge against him and was nearly thrown off.
But after drawing on all his strength, he barely managed to hold him down.
Captain America was somewhat stunned, shock showing on his face.
He had not expected that even after using eighty percent of his strength, he still could not break free from this young man's hold.
Just as Captain America was about to use his full strength, Fury and his people had already surrounded both him and Luo Wen.
All the gun barrels were instantly aimed at Captain America.
Seeing so many guns pointed at his head, Captain America knew there was no point in resisting any further, so he stopped struggling.
Seeing this, Luo Wen released the arm around Captain America's neck, got up, stepped back, and straightened his clothes.
Fury looked at Luo Wen in surprise.
He had personally watched Luo Wen throw Captain America to the ground, then temporarily restrain him.
That was Captain America!
Since when had this kid Luo Wen become so skilled?
But Fury knew that now was not the time to discuss that.
