#199 - The deal with the dog owner was concluded
After that, the party entered a lull.
Due to Elizabeth's arrival and the appearance of Liang Yue, her ~boyfriend~, many people wanted to come and chat, and even the host, Tony Stark, was temporarily overshadowed.
However, after reluctantly dealing with them for a while, Stark noticed that the blonde girl, like Liang Yue, didn't seem to enjoy socializing much, so he arranged a quiet room for them.
Throughout this process, Liang Yue also subtly noticed that Aunt Liu seemed a bit melancholic about the existence of his "girlfriend."
Perhaps in her opinion, it wasn't a good thing for him to be with the blonde girl.
...
"I never knew you were so popular in the eyes of these people."
Although he had already investigated Elizabeth's identity, Liang Yue still acted a bit surprised as he poured her a glass of ancient fruit wine.
The guy then sat down beside the blonde girl, put an arm around her waist, clinked glasses with her, and said with a pretentious look.
"Hehe~ I'm just an ordinary high school student, but my family is a bit special, so my living conditions have been good since I was little.
Consequently, others may look up to me because of my family, but in reality, I'm not that outstanding~"
"What is this wine?"
"It's the best wine I can currently brew, from the selection of ingredients to the production process, it's unique in this world, and others can't imitate it at all."
"This wine is indeed very special, its brewing materials must be very rare, right?"
"Nourishing, purifying, detoxifying, this is the evaluation that a genuine old witch gave me after tasting it."
"Of course I've already experienced its effects, but you haven't answered my question yet~"
"The brewing materials are unique, no one in this world can get them except me."
"Then what if I want to drink it in the future?"
"Then you come find me, I have plenty here!"
"Hmph~"
...
"Knock knock~"
"Am I disturbing you?"
The door was knocked on and immediately opened, and then Tony Stark poked half of his body in, his eyes mischievously scanning the two of them, and then he said with a smile.
"No~ Mr. Stark, actually we're the ones disturbing you."
Elizabeth sat up from Liang Yue's arms without a trace and responded with a smile.
"Don't say that, it's my honor to have you here~ Really, you know~ we Americans generally have a lot of respect and yearning for your old British aristocratic families."
As he spoke, Tony Stark pushed the door open and then stood inside, letting Pepper Potts, who was pushing a dining cart behind him, in.
"This is the dinner I prepared for you, the time was a bit rushed, but the taste should still be good~"
"I'm truly honored to receive Tony Stark's hospitality."
Liang Yue then stood up, took a wine glass from the nearby cabinet, and then, under Elizabeth's watchful gaze, poured a glass of ancient fruit wine and handed it to the big shot.
"You should feel honored, kid, but I'm sorry to tell you, you're just a side effect, I'm mainly here to entertain... hmm~ this doesn't seem like my wine!"
After subconsciously taking a sip of the wine someone handed him, Tony Stark's venomous tongue attribute was immediately stopped.
At this moment, he had a look of astonishment on his face, his eyes widened as he looked at the liquid in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.
The other hand was unconsciously stroking his chest, and his originally slightly dark complexion suddenly became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a long while, he suddenly woke up under Pepper Potts' concerned gaze, and then subconsciously exclaimed.
"Wow~ this feeling is amazing! My body just felt like it was being purified! Very comfortable~ I haven't felt this way in a long time!"
"For someone who has been poisoned, your feelings will indeed be stronger."
Liang Yue then sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a pretentious smile.
"This is your wine? It seems that you are indeed not simple, well~ Mr. Liang Yue, I think our cooperation should be possible, in addition to the agreed one hundred million dollars.
I will also give you another percent of... three percent of the profits, of course, all this is on the premise that the method you said is true and effective."
Tony Stark stood there with a solemn expression, looking at him as he spoke.
"Then~ I wish us a happy cooperation, Mr. Stark."
As he spoke, Liang Yue got up and clinked glasses with the other party, then smiled and drank with him.
Ugh~
...
A pleasant party quickly came to an end. Aunt Liu drove him home and stayed overnight at his house, leaving only after breakfast the next morning.
Therefore, Liang Yue rarely didn't enter the stronghold world last night.
Fortunately, Senior Sister Zi, Arwen, Teacher Shizuka, Aunt Yuriko, and the others are now completely immersed in the fun of the dungeon.
In addition, according to the original plan, this guy was originally going to retreat and cultivate alone.
Therefore, the girls and the eagle on the other side didn't seem to have any reaction to his absence...
Today is Monday, after seeing Aunt Liu off, there was still some time before school, so he wasn't in a hurry to go out for the time being, so he casually turned on the TV in the living room.
The TV news was still playing old news from three days ago.
That is, the night the Abomination appeared out of nowhere, smashing and rampaging through the streets, causing a large number of casualties, and the army was powerless in front of him.
Then, Liang Yue, a mysterious man dressed in a full set of armor and a red handkerchief around his face, appeared.
In just a few encounters, he directly killed the opponent, and then beheaded the Abomination.
The situation that should have occurred in the plot, where he jumped down from a helicopter, transformed into the Hulk, and then fought the Abomination for eight hundred rounds, with one green and one shit-colored big guy tearing down the entire street, did not appear.
However, the impact of this matter is still very large!
General Ross, as the main person in charge of this incident, held a press conference the next morning with a look of decadence and loss on his face.
He took full responsibility for the failure of the military's entire super-soldier program, and the result was naturally being suspended, investigated, and then shelved.
However, although this matter caused a considerable impact, the final result was almost satisfactory to all parties.
First of all, the military was at fault first, but Ross, the front-line person, has been dealt with, and the military will also bear the responsibility for all the losses in this incident.
Therefore, the big things were successfully reduced to small things in the end.
Even General Ross, who was temporarily shelved, was forgotten to the side under the deliberate neglect of the media.
The media, on the other hand, took the opportunity to create a big news story, and the ratings of various TV stations have been soaring in recent days.
Now, after three days of fermentation, the entire United States, the entire North America, and even the entire world have begun to be in an uproar because of the US military's super-soldier experiment, with far-reaching influence.
But the media and magazines of various companies are still tirelessly reporting on this news, just like the Iron Man incident some time ago~
In Liang Yue's view, these media people can at least enjoy the taste on TV for more than half a month~
The public's concern for this matter is even unprecedented, the Internet has long been in an uproar, and it seems that everyone who can access the Internet is actively expressing their opinions.
These days, even in Liang Yue's class, they are hotly discussing this matter.
Sam and Peter have even begun to regard Liang Yue as an idol...
In this incident, the only ones who are dissatisfied are probably those who had already died tragically at the hands of the Abomination before Liang Yue took action.
Those soldiers are actually okay, after all, it's their duty, belonging to the super-soldier team under General Ross, which was originally a high-risk place.
And it's not the first time they've died in order to capture the Hulk.
The truly wronged ones are actually those unarmed ordinary people, who were just strolling on the bustling Brooklyn Avenue after sunset, and were happily beaten to death by the Abomination, that super villain.
In the end, even if their relatives can get compensation from the military, those compensations are just some dollars, those small pieces of paper called money.
But the people are already gone, and the families behind them may fall into hardship because of this, and even directly disintegrate.
