"Side Mission: Rescue Dr. Ethan. Safely rescue Dr. Ethan from the Terrorists.
Reward: A-rank Ninjutsu, Healing Palm Technique."
Li Chuan opened his panel to check the newly appeared side mission, and memories from his past life began to resurface.
"Dr. Ethan, is he the Doctor who helped Stark build his Iron Man Suit and eventually sacrificed himself?"
He remembered that when Tony Stark was imprisoned, there was indeed a Doctor named Ethan. Not only did he save Tony Stark's life, but he also secretly assisted him in creating the first generation Iron Man Suit. During the breakout, he was shot to death while buying time.
Should he accept this mission?
After a moment of thought, Li Chuan decided to temporarily change his plan of going to the Naruto World and complete this mission first.
The A-rank medical Ninjutsu, Healing Palm Technique, was a Ninjutsu he absolutely could not miss.
In battle, no one can guarantee they won't get injured, and the Healing Palm Technique can treat both internal and external injuries, while also being able to induce unconsciousness by interfering with the body's circulation.
Learning this Ninjutsu would greatly increase his survival rate and be of great help to his plans for returning to the Naruto World later.
"Alright, Jack, you all head back first. This is too conspicuous."
When the convoy reached a less bustling street in Queens, Li Chuan told Jack and all the bodyguards to leave first. Then, he drove his car, continuing forward with Wanda and Pietro.
A month ago, after deciding to settle in New York, Li Chuan discussed the location of their residence with Wanda.
New York is the largest city in the United States, comprising five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island.
Li Chuan's initial idea was to buy a Villa in the most prosperous Manhattan, as it was closer to his new company building, making commuting more convenient.
However, after thinking about it, the location of the Avengers' first major battle was in Manhattan, so living there would be too dangerous for Wanda, and he gave up on that idea.
Next, he thought of Queens. It was only separated from Manhattan by the East River, not far from his company, and it was also the borough with the best natural scenery.
In his previous life, when he fought in underground boxing matches in New York, he also lived in Queens, so he was quite familiar with this borough.
As for public safety, Queens should be considered one of the safest boroughs, and in the future, there would even be a good neighbor, Spider-Man, swinging around on his webs to maintain order.
Wanda had no objections to settling in Queens, but she disagreed with the idea of living in a Villa.
The reason was that living in a Villa area was too boring and too quiet. Once Li Chuan went to work, she would be alone at home.
She wanted to live in an ordinary residential building where she could meet new neighbors, discuss cooking and parenting experiences with other wives, and exchange gifts, etc.
She didn't like the life of a high-society lady. Her ideal life was like that in "The Dick Van Dyke Show"—plain but full of small joys.
Li Chuan agreed without much hesitation.
Wanda considered his career and accompanied him to settle in New York, so he also had to consider Wanda's feelings.
In fact, he himself didn't have any particular preference for living in a Villa or a residential building. Choosing a Villa was simply because he thought it would be safer for Wanda.
Moreover, living in a residential building wasn't a big problem.
Because before arriving in New York, he had already instructed Little Six to replace all the property management of the residential complex they were going to live in with his own people. From the day they moved in, all the security guards in the complex were his most elite subordinates, personally trained by him.
Every one of them was exceptionally skilled, had long-term access to the best quality Great Strength Pill, and had also received professional firearms training.
Unlike the Great Strength Pill sold outside, the Great Strength Pill consumed by Li Chuan's subordinates were improved, refined versions. Long-term consumption led to a more significant increase in strength.
However, compared to the effects of the ointment he obtained from the side missions, they were still far inferior.
At the same time, he had also bought the apartments with the best sniping angles targeting their room within the entire complex in advance and arranged corresponding snipers.
If enemies appeared, these snipers would blow their heads off immediately.
Of course, he definitely couldn't tell Wanda about these things.
Because in Wanda's eyes, Li Chuan had always been a kind-hearted, legitimate businessman, a philanthropist praised by everyone in Sokovia, and a good husband who helped with housework at home.
Li Chuan wasn't deliberately hiding these things from Wanda. It was just that when he first pursued Wanda, he had established a good guy persona, and he maintained this persona in front of the public. He was afraid that if Wanda suddenly saw his dark side, she might find it hard to accept.
Also, even though he was ruthless in his actions and never showed mercy to his enemies, he didn't want his wife and future children to think he was a bad person.
He had already embarked on this path in his previous life, and to become strong and protect the people he cared about, he had to be ruthless.
If he became strong enough in the future and there were no major crises in the World, he also hoped his children would grow up to be kind, happy, and righteous people.
And not like him.
"Alright, our new home is here!"
Under the respectful gaze of two burly security guards, Li Chuan parked the car in the open-air parking area of the residential complex.
"Honestly, it's a big city after all. The security guards in this complex all look very reassuring," Pietro remarked as he got out of the car.
He worked as a delivery person and often went to various residential complexes in Sokovia. Most of the security guards there were elderly men or pot-bellied middle-aged men.
It was rare to genuinely hire young, strong men as security guards, unless it was a truly high-end complex.
But their current complex was clearly an ordinary one, yet the two security guards at the entrance were at least 1.9 meters tall, and even through their uniforms, one could feel their explosive muscles.
Not to mention security guards, they might even win an award if they went to a bodybuilding competition.
"We specifically chose this complex because they said the security here is good," Li Chuan explained with a smile while carrying the luggage from the car.
He couldn't help it; it wasn't that he didn't want to be more low-key, but his subordinates had been taking the refined Great Strength Pill for a long time, and their physiques were inevitably affected.
Just like his male secretary, Little Six, people who didn't know him always thought Little Six was his bodyguard, though he certainly was, in a way.
Other bosses' secretaries were either curvy beauties or refined, bespectacled elite men, but his secretary, Little Six...
Bald, 1.9 meters tall, with a fierce face and bulging muscles, the kind of person whose smile would make children cry in fear.
