Chapter 116: Hammer Industries' solicitation (4K large chapter)
Although the White Queen and Clarice did not speak, they had already answered Richard with their eyes and facial expressions.
After seeing their expressions, Richard sighed helplessly.
He was not particularly surprised that the White Queen and Clarice would react like this.
If it were him, he would not believe it either.
Unlike the White Queen and Clarice who were full of disbelief, the three Black Widows were calm.
Although they only knew today that Richard could take them out of the zombie universe, they were not unfamiliar with the White Queen and Clarice.
Not long after the intimate relationship, they asked Richard if there were other women in this universe.
Richard did not hide the existence of the White Queen and Clarice, and told them everything.
Under the gaze of the White Queen and Clarice, Richard took out the mobile phone from the system space, put the phone on the table, and said to the White Queen and Clarice:
"There are Natasha and Susan's phone numbers in it. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask where they are now?"
Looking at the mobile phone on the table, the White Queen and Clarice frowned at the same time.
After a few seconds, the White Queen said: "Are they really from other universes?"
"Yes, they come from a parallel universe where there are no mutants and the zombie virus has broken out."
Richard said slowly.
After hearing his answer, the White Queen and Clarice looked at each other and exchanged opinions with their eyes.
After seeing this scene, it was Richard's turn to frown.
When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
Although Clarice has lived in the manor for several months and accepted the existence of the White Queen, they still haven't become friends, let alone besties.
How to say it?
The relationship between the two of them is a bit like neighbors who live in the same community but don't usually interact with each other.
"Have you slept together?"
After exchanging glances with Clarice, the White Queen asked bluntly.
"Yes."
Richard admitted decisively.
For a time traveler, it is normal to have a harem.
Even if he is not a time traveler, he does not think there is anything wrong with men being lustful.
There is no man who is not lustful!
Or in other words, the gene for not being lustful has been eliminated in the process of evolution.
In his opinion, as long as you are a man, there is no man who is not lustful.
The only difference is whether you meet the opposite sex you are interested in.
"Then how do you plan to arrange them next?"
"As long as they leave the manor, they will meet them in this world?"
The White Queen continued to ask.
"Just meet them, it's no big deal."
Richard said casually.
"Aren't you afraid that others will know that they are from other universes?"
Clarice asked quickly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Seventy or eighty years ago, people in the world didn't believe that mutants existed in the world."
"Now, the existence of mutants is common knowledge known to everyone."
"Even if other people know that they come from other universes, they just know that parallel universes really exist."
Richard said casually.
He had considered this issue before bringing the three Black Widows from the zombie universe back.
Even if people knew about the existence of parallel universes, it wouldn't be a big deal.
In other words, even if they knew about the existence of parallel universes, not many people would be able to go to parallel universes.
If there is any trouble, it is that the Black Widow, Invisible Woman, and Sharon Carter in this world may have some opinions.
However, even if they have opinions, Richard would not care.
After hearing his answer, the White Queen and Clarice didn't say anything.
Although the arrival of the three Black Widows means that there are more and more women in the manor, they have been mentally prepared for it.
The study on the second floor of the main building.
Richard said to Black Widow, Invisible Woman, and Sharon Carter: "If you want to see yourself in this universe, just tell me directly and I will take you there."
"Don't go there secretly by yourself, otherwise they will think you are a mutant called Mystique."
Mystique?
Black Widow and the other two showed puzzled expressions at the same time.
"Mystique is a mutant who can transform into anyone at will."
"Her transformation is not only a change in appearance, but also the voice, fingerprints, pupils and so on will be exactly the same."
Richard continued.
Are there any mutants like this?
Although they knew that there were mutants in this universe early on, Black Widow and the others did not know what abilities the mutants in this universe had.
"I will have someone sort out some information about mutants in this world and some information about you in this universe, so that you can understand this world."
"If you want to know more, you can continue to tell me, or tell Emma directly."
Richard said slowly.
"Yeah."
Black Widow and the other two nodded at the same time.
"Okay, you guys go down and rest first. If you need anything, just come to me or Emma."
After hearing his words, the Black Widow and the other two left the study without saying anything else.
After watching them leave, Richard came to the window of the study and looked at the scenery outside.
...
Time flies.
One week later.
The training ground of the manor.
Richard, who has transformed into a true demon, is doing his daily "Virgil Plan" training.
After returning to this universe, he awakened the Virgil template and made three different daily training plans for himself.
Sephiroth Plan, Superboy Prime Plan, and Virgil Plan.
Different plans correspond to different skills and superpower exercises.
Among them, Sephiroth Plan has the most training content, and Superboy Prime Plan has the least training content.
To be precise, there is only one training content for Superboy Prime Plan.
Sunbathing!
This is all the training content of Superboy Prime Plan.
Superboy Prime's superpowers all come from Kryptonian physique.
Whether it is heat vision, freezing breath, or super strength, super speed, super physique, etc., they are all external manifestations of Kryptonian physique.
And the best way to strengthen Kryptonian physique is to sunbathe!
Although this will make Superboy Prime Plan look a little funny, this is the best way to improve Kryptonian physique.
After training in the true demon form for two or three hours at the training ground, Richard finally lifted the true demon form and turned back to a normal human appearance.
After fusing the separated Yama Sword with the authentic sword, he put the authentic Yama Sword back into the system space.
Then, he performed teleportation to leave the training ground and returned to the bedroom on the second floor of the manor.
He took off his clothes and went to the bathroom alone. Lying in the bathtub, he thought about the next arrangements.
It has been a week since I came back. It's time to go out for a walk!
In the past week, he has been staying in the manor and has not gone anywhere. He either conducts daily training at the training ground or has in-depth exchanges with the White Queen and Black Widow.
Although he has lived a decadent life, it must be said that this kind of life is still very comfortable.
After taking a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom, he got up and returned to the bedroom and changed into clean clothes.
Just as he was about to leave the bedroom to ask the Invisible Woman if she wanted to go out with him tonight to attend the banquet, the system suddenly issued a new task.
[Mission: One-winged Angel (Part 3)]
[Mission content: Defeat the Frost Giant King Laufey and the Fire Giant Surtur]
[Mission reward: Increase Sephiroth's template fusion by 10%]
[Mission time limit: 3 months]
…
After seeing the mission information in front of him, Richard frowned slightly.
He was not particularly surprised that the system would suddenly release a mission.
After all, the system always releases missions suddenly.
However, he did not expect that the mission reward this time would be 10% template fusion.
He thought that the system would only reward the skills and abilities of template characters, but he did not expect that template fusion could also become a mission reward.
Although it was a bit unexpected, he had no opinion on this mission released by the system.
Even without this mission, he also had the idea of fighting with the Frost Giant King Laufey and the Fire Giant Surtur.
Not only that, he was also very interested in the Frost Giant Artifact "Winter Box" and the Fire Giant Surtur's "Eternal Fire" currently kept in Odin's Treasury.
Although the Box of Winter and the Eternal Flame are now Odin's spoils, this does not affect his interest in the Box of Winter and the Eternal Flame.
After turning off the information panel in front of him, he left the bedroom and found the Invisible Woman Susan.
"Come out with me tonight to attend a party."
Richard said to the Invisible Woman.
"What kind of party?"
The Invisible Woman asked immediately.
"It's just an ordinary dinner party hosted by a wealthy New Yorker."
"You have been in this universe for a week. It's time to let people outside know about your existence."
Richard said calmly.
In the past week, the three Invisible Women did not leave the manor much, but learned about themselves and information in this universe through the intelligence collected by the Hellfire Club.
After hearing his words, the Invisible Woman thought for a few seconds.
Then, she said, "Okay! I'll go with you. Do you need me to wear an evening dress?"
"It's okay to wear or not."
Richard replied.
"Yeah."
The Invisible Woman nodded.
7 o'clock in the evening.
Richard drove a black Rolls-Royce Phantom and left the manor with the Invisible Woman in a dark blue deep V backless evening dress, heading towards Manhattan.
Although he had not appeared in public for a while, there were still many invitations sent to the manor every now and then, sincerely inviting him to dinner or meetings.
There were quite a few invitations sent.
But he would not actually attend a few.
He would not attend most of the invitations.
"Who hosted the dinner tonight?"
The Invisible Woman asked Richard.
"An arms dealer named Justin Hammer, the Hammer Industries he founded is the main competitor of Stark Industries."
Richard replied calmly.
Although this universe also has Justin Hammer, the plot of the movie Iron Man 2 did not appear in this universe.
Not only that, after Stark Industries closed its weapons department and ended its cooperation with the US military, Hammer Industries successfully replaced Stark Industries and became the largest supplier of the US military.
Richard had met Justin Hammer several times before and had neither a good nor a bad impression of him.
If there is something that is not satisfactory, it is that Justin Hammer has tried to attract him to join Hammer Industries more than once.
It is not surprising that Justin Hammer would have such an idea.
Although Richard's relationship with the official is not good, there are still many arms companies that want to attract him to join.
Hammer Industries is just one of them.
In order to attract him to join, arms companies including Hammer Industries have shown very good sincerity.
For example, 10% of annual profits, a position on the board of directors, stocks in units of 100 million, etc.
Although these arms companies have offered good conditions, Richard did not agree to them.
Money, when it reaches a certain amount, is just a number.
Not to mention that he is not short of money now, even if he is short of money, he will not agree to the solicitation of companies such as Hammer Industries.
If he is short of money, just ask the US official directly.
If the US official does not give it, let them see what the threat of humanoid self-propelled nuclear bombs is.
More than half an hour later.
Richard and the Invisible Woman arrived at the door of the hotel where the dinner was held.
After parking the car at the door of the hotel, Richard opened the door first and got out of the car to appear in the sight of the entertainment reporters gathered at the door of the hotel.
After seeing him, these entertainment reporters raised their cameras and pressed the shutter frantically.
After the last live interview, Richard rarely attended the dinner held by the upper class in New York.
Although he later showed up in San Francisco and killed Shang-Chi and two people in public, his appearance time was too short.
Not long after the reporters in San Francisco received the news, he left with Yingli.
When the entertainment reporters at the door of the hotel were shooting Richard frantically, the Invisible Woman in a dark blue evening dress also got out of the car and appeared in people's sight.
Invisible Woman?
After seeing her, whether it was the entertainment reporters who were shooting Richard, or the other guests who came to the dinner, or the staff at the door of the hotel, they all showed unexpected expressions.
Just as they looked at the Invisible Woman getting off the car with surprise, wondering why Richard's female companion tonight was the Invisible Woman, Richard's next move made them open their eyes involuntarily.
Under their gaze, Richard calmly came to the side of the Invisible Woman, stretched out his right hand, and hugged the Invisible Woman's slender waist.
Tomorrow's headlines are here!
After seeing that the Invisible Woman did not resist Richard's hug, this thought flashed through the minds of the entertainment reporters at the same time.
Although they didn't know when Richard and the Invisible Woman's relationship became so good, they were sure of one thing, that is, Richard and the Invisible Woman's being together would definitely make tomorrow's headlines.
At the same time, the name of Mr. Fantastic immediately emerged in their minds.
It is no secret that Mr. Fantastic likes the Invisible Woman and is pursuing the Invisible Woman.
Although Mr. Fantastic has never admitted it in public, everyone can see that he likes the Invisible Woman very much.
Not only that, Mr. Fantastic has been teased for not being able to catch up with the Invisible Woman.
Major entertainment magazines and newspapers in New York have previously conducted street interviews and questionnaire surveys on this.
For example, they randomly interviewed passers-by about how they felt about Mr. Fantastic not pursuing the Invisible Woman, why the Invisible Woman rejected Mr. Fantastic's pursuit, and whether Mr. Fantastic had some unknown physical problems because of his superpowers.
Mr. Fantastic is indeed a well-known superhero.
But in such an era of entertainment to death, let alone a superhero, even if he is the president, he will still be the object of people's entertainment and ridicule.
