New York, Stark Tower.
Inside the office.
Luca and Peter entered through the window and landed steadily on the ground.
As soon as they landed, Luca disgustedly shook off Peter's collar.
"Good heavens, Peter, could you please stop yelling like a girl next time you're in the sky? Your screams almost deafened my super hearing."
Peter scratched his head awkwardly, quickly took off his mask, and gasped for breath.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Mr. Luca. It's just that you're too fast. I feel like my soul is chasing after my body."
Peter took a deep breath and looked at Luca with adoration.
"But Mr. Luca, you were really cool today!"
"Especially that moment when you caught the tentacle with one hand, I bet that will become the most classic scene of the year!"
Faced with Peter's fervent praise, Luca simply waved his hand casually and walked to the bar to pour himself a glass of ice water.
"Alright, stop flattering me. This was just a practical lesson. Next time you encounter a lunatic like this, don't go easy on me, understand?"
"I understand! I will never do it again!" Peter immediately stood at attention and loudly promised.
Just then...
"Gentlemen."
JARVIS's gentle voice rang out in the office.
I have good news to report to you.
"Just now, the head of the engineering department sent me a message."
"The new Justice League superhero base you requested to be built off the coast of New York has been fully completed in terms of its main structure and internal facilities, and has passed safety tests."
"Oh?"
Luca raised an eyebrow, put down his water glass, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The power of capital is indeed great. As long as the money is there, buildings will spring up."
"It seems today is a good day to celebrate."
Luca looked at Peter and snapped his the Snap.
"Kid, you're in luck. We're throwing a celebration party tonight to celebrate the opening of our new base."
"Go home now, take a shower, and change into something nice. Bring your girlfriend Mary Jane and your Aunt May to the new base for dinner later."
Peter hearing this, Peter's eyes lit up instantly, and he was so excited he almost jumped up.
"Really?! I can bring Mary Jane?! Oh my god, she'll be ecstatic!"
"Of course. The Justice League's families have always had excellent benefits."
Luca smiled and waved.
"Get out of here. I'll have JARVIS send you the base's location to your phone later. Remember not to be late."
"I guarantee I'll arrive on time! Mr. Luca!"
Peter excitedly put on the mask, not even waiting to go through the main entrance.
A spider Silk shot out and swung out of the window, while excited cheers echoed in the night sky.
Seeing Peter leave, Luca stretched contentedly.
He pressed the communicator on his desk.
" Jessica, Natasha, come in."
A few seconds later.
The office door was pushed open.
The two walked in one after the other.
Although they appeared respectful on the surface, there was some displeasure in their eyes.
They spent the entire day dealing with a multitude of complicated documents and dealing with those crazy reporters.
Moreover, they had to endure Luca's orders at any time.
"Boss, what can I do for you?" Jessica took a deep breath and forced a sweet smile.
Luca leaned back in his chair, looking the two of them up and down, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"My two assistants, you've worked hard today. To reward you, I've decided to assign you a very important and special task."
Upon hearing the words "special mission," both women felt a pang of anxiety.
Was he finally about to reveal his true colors and make his move against them?
"Tonight, the Justice League is hosting an internal celebration dinner at the new base."
"Since it's a private dinner, we can't use those unreliable waiters from outside."
"Therefore, the task of serving tea and water, serving dishes, and cleaning up tonight will be handled by the two of you."
"Remember, you must demonstrate the highest level of service expected of Stark Industries employees. If the service is poor, or if a plate is broken..."
Luca paused deliberately, his gaze becoming extremely imposing.
You know the consequences.
These words were spoken.
The office suddenly fell silent.
Jessica and Natasha stared wide-eyed at Luca in disbelief.
Waiter?! Serving tea and water?!
They are top agents of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D..!
They are the Black Widow and the Spider-Woman, who kill without shedding blood!
They're actually making them waitresses at a banquet?!
Isn't this humiliating them?!
Jessica maintained her smile, but she desperately wanted to rush up and smash Luca's handsome face to pieces.
Natasha's breathing became rapid, and she cursed Nick Fury in her mind.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Luca raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance.
"No... no problem, boss."
Natasha gritted her teeth and forced out a few words.
"We will definitely provide excellent service."
Jessica could only lower her head in frustration, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.
"I guarantee the mission will be completed."
"Very good, that's right."
Luca clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"Go and get ready. Remember to change into a suitable maid outfit. If it doesn't fit, ask Pepper for reimbursement."
The two women nodded, then turned and left, utterly dejected.
After the two women slunk away from the office, Luca finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Haha! This is life!
"Fight monsters during the day, flirt with the female secretary, and play poker with beautiful superheroes at night."
"Well, it was awesome!"
After laughing his fill, Luca snapped his the Snap.
JARVIS.
"Yes, sir."
"Send a message to Gwen Stacy, Wanda, and Dr. Banner. Tell them to meet at the new base tonight for a celebratory dinner."
Luca thought for a moment, then added.
" Tony and Old Popsicle are still studying at Kamar-Taj, so there's no need to inform them. I don't want them to steal my thunder when they come back."
"Okay, sir. The notification has been sent. The base's location coordinates have been synchronized to all members' communication devices."
Luca stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the huge artificial island that was faintly visible on the distant sea.
That's the superhero base that Stark Industries built with money and technology.
"Alright, the new base is complete, and the staff are in place."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Luca's eyes.
"Now, it's time to move on to the next step of the plan. Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D.... the game has only just begun."
