Soon, they arrived at the hotel restaurant.
at this time.
Tony, Pepper, Steve, Jessica, and the others were already seated at the dining table.
Happy helped the weakened Bruce Banner sit down to one side.
Everyone had changed into clean clothes, except for Luca.
The door to the private room was pushed open.
Luca led Wanda and Pietro in.
All eyes immediately focused on what was behind Luca.
Tony raised an eyebrow and looked at Luca with a mischievous grin.
" Luca, you bring back a minor just to go back to your room?"
Do you have pedophilic tendencies? Or have your tastes become so perverted that they've reached this level?
Luca pulled up a chair, sat down, and retorted without any politeness.
"Shut your stinking mouth, Tony."
"This is the free labor I just acquired."
"And they're already adults!"
"They owe me a billion yuan, which is now my private property."
"Unlike you, who only knows how to spend money to buy useless scrap metal to build armor."
Tony rolled his eyes.
"A billion? Your face is more disgusting than a rat's."
Everyone was already used to the brothers' daily banter.
Pepper shook her head helplessly and called the waiter to bring the food.
Jessica sat in the corner, head down, not daring to speak.
She sensed the unusual aura emanating from Wanda and Pietro, and her despair deepened.
Damn it, there are more and more monsters around Luca.
Will I even be able to survive?
After several rounds of drinks...
Luca cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, then looked at Steve sitting opposite him.
"Alright, now let's get down to business."
Luca pointed at Steve with his fork.
" Old Popsicle, weren't you dead for decades? How come you suddenly popped out of the ground and came to Monaco to fight?"
Tony put down his glass and stared intently at Steve.
"Yes, I'm curious too."
"Your dad searched for you his whole life but couldn't find you, and then you appeared on the field like a wild man who fell from the sky."
Upon hearing their questions, Steve's face instantly darkened.
He first took a swig of whiskey, then slammed the glass down on the table.
"Damn it!"
Steve started speaking in classical Chinese poetry the moment he opened his mouth.
Don't mention this to me!
"It's all Nick Fury's doing!"
At this point, Steve was already gritting his teeth.
"That son of a bitch dug me out of the ice and then locked me in a room disguised as being from the 1940s to try and brainwash me!"
"He showed me a bunch of your photos and told me you were lawless terrorists, a cancer on society!"
"He wants me to join some damn Avengers to fight you guys!"
Tony sneered after hearing this.
"That cotton machine of Fury's is really haunting me."
Steve grew increasingly agitated as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.
"That bastard's heart is looser than a woman's belt!"
"Does he think I can't tell that he sent those monsters in the photos?"
"Damn it, S.H.I.E.L.D.. is actually using monsters to fight! This is even more disgusting than Hydra!"
"I immediately gave him a piece of my mind and then ran away."
Steve looked at Luca and Tony.
"I came here because I wanted to see for myself what kind of person Howard's son really is."
"Now it seems that although you guys have foul mouths and bad personalities, you're at least much better than that hypocrite Fury."
Luca couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
" Old Popsicle, you have pretty good taste."
Then, Luca looked at Banner was sitting to the side with a pale face.
"And you, big guy?"
"How did you end up being thrown onto the field like an airdrop?"
Banner gave a wry smile, somewhat embarrassed.
"I don't know either."
"Originally, I was hiding in a small town in South America, trying to control my emotions."
"As a result, a few nights ago, we were suddenly attacked by a group of fully armed mercenaries."
"They didn't use live ammunition, but nerve gas."
"I was poisoned and knocked unconscious before I could even transform."
Banner sighed.
"When I woke up again, I was already on a helicopter."
"Then I was thrown down... you know what happened next."
Tony stroked his chin.
"It seems someone deliberately brought you here, hoping to use you against us."
"That Justin Hammer doesn't have the guts or the ability."
"It must have been Hydra."
Mentioning Hydra Jessica, who was sitting in the corner, shudder and lower her head even further.
You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me!
Luca chuckled lightly, too lazy to pay any attention to Jessica.
After hearing all this, he recalled the scene in the hallucination where his father, Howard, said that the assassin was Steve's best friend, Bucky.
So he narrowed his eyes and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
" Steve, I have a personal question for you."
"Do you have some long-dead lover? Or some close gay comrade-in-arms?"
Steve was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I like women! Women with big breasts!"
Steve slammed his fist on the table in frustration.
"Have you been fucked by Hulk? What kind of shit is in your head?!"
Luca wasn't angry; he just shrugged.
"Nothing, just asking."
It's okay if you don't get any answers.
He didn't intend to reveal what he had seen in the illusion right now.
After all, it involved the truth about his parents' death, and he planned to discuss it with Tony privately after returning to New York.
If that guy named Bucky really is an assassin, regardless of whether he's been brainwashed or not, Luca will absolutely not let him go.
The meal was eaten noisily.
After eating and drinking his fill, Luca wiped his mouth and looked at Steve and Banner.
"Alright, you two."
"Since you have nowhere to go right now, why don't you come and join us?"
Luca extended an olive branch.
"As you should know, Tony and I started an organization called the Justice League."
"Join us, and we'll provide meals and accommodation, five social insurances and one housing fund, plus a laboratory and training ground."
Tony nodded in agreement.
"That's right."
" Banner, Luca and I can help you look into your problem. It's better than you hiding alone in the slums."
"As for you, Old Popsicle, you can't even use a smartphone now. You wouldn't even be able to afford food without us."
Steve and Banner exchanged a glance.
Banner hesitated for a moment.
He knew the Stark brothers' capabilities; perhaps they really could help him solve the Hulk problem.
Moreover, he truly has nowhere to go now.
"Okay, I'll join." Banner nodded.
Upon seeing this, Steve snorted coldly.
"I'm not in it for your money."
"I just want to keep an eye on you guys, so you don't ruin Howard's reputation."
"Also, I need to settle accounts with that bastard Fury."
Luca snapped his the Snap, beaming.
"Very good, passed unanimously."
"We're heading back to New York first thing tomorrow morning."
