Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Hits a Wall

"You seem to like little Peter quite a bit?"

After Mei and Peter left, Wanda, holding Li Chuan's arm, sat on the sofa watching TV and said.

While they were chatting earlier, she saw Li Chuan ask many questions about little Peter.

"Oh, I just feel like that kid is quite well-behaved and obedient."

Li Chuan nodded.

Through Mei, he learned that Peter's parents in this World seemed to be ordinary employees who died unexpectedly in a car accident, with nothing special about them.

However, he still managed to pluck a strand of little Peter's hair when no one was looking, intending to give it to Dr. Smith and others for research.

After all, if Peter's parents weren't ordinary employees, Mei, an ordinary person, wouldn't know.

"Then why don't we have one ourselves!"

Wanda suddenly looked up at Li Chuan, making him freeze.

"Isn't it a bit too early?"

He didn't dislike children, but his current strength wasn't strong enough, and there were many crises in Marvel's future. If he had a child now, it might become his weakness.

Additionally, Wanda's power source was Chthon, the God of Dark magic, and he was afraid that if Wanda became pregnant, the child might be tampered with.

"It seems so. I'm not confident enough to be a qualified mother yet."

Hearing Li Chuan's words, Wanda thought for a moment and didn't bring it up again.

She just felt that Li Chuan seemed to like children, so she couldn't help but mention it. But upon careful thought, with her current abilities, being a mother would also be very stressful.

After all, she was only twenty years old this year.

Unlike the Wanda in the original work, who was nearly thirty, with her closest brother dead and her lover dead. The current Wanda was still young, had resolved the hatred in her heart, and lived happily every day, so she naturally wouldn't yearn for a child as much.

Hearing that Wanda wasn't truly eager to have a child, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, didn't we agree to go shopping in Chinatown? It's almost time to leave now."

To quickly change the subject, Li Chuan hurriedly spoke.

Wanda checked the time, then got up and scurried into the room.

"Wait for me, I need to change and put on some makeup!"

For Wanda, going to Chinatown was definitely something to look forward to.

Born in Sokovia, a poor Eastern European country, Wanda was different from native New York residents; today was her first time going to Chinatown.

"Take this hair back to the Base for testing."

While Wanda was putting on makeup and changing clothes, Li Chuan handed the hair he had plucked from Peter to Li San.

Twenty minutes later, Wanda, with long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a red tracksuit, walked out of the room.

"I originally wanted to wear a dress, but I feel like this is better. Honey, what do you think of me in this outfit?"

"You look very beautiful like this, but it would look even better if you put your hair up."

Li Chuan looked her up and down before answering seriously.

In his eyes, it actually didn't matter whether she wore a dress or a tracksuit, and there wasn't much difference between her hair being down or up.

He just understood that if he hesitated even a little, Wanda might think the tracksuit wasn't good, and then go back into the room for another twenty minutes.

He also couldn't just say it was good, as that would seem perfunctory. He had to offer some advice, even if he didn't know if it would be useful.

This was the wisdom of a married man!

Indeed, after hearing Li Chuan's suggestion, Wanda looked in the mirror, nodded in agreement, then quickly put her hair up and pulled Li Chuan out the door.

While the young couple, Li Chuan and Wanda, were happily strolling through the bustling Chinatown at night, Tony, in his Malibu mansion in Los Angeles, received an unexpected visitor.

"Jarvis, turn on the lights!"

Tony took off his Iron Man Suit, walked from the top floor to the living room, and instructed the mansion's AI butler.

Jarvis's distinctive, magnetic voice echoed in the room:

"Yes, sir!"

Instantly, all the lights in the living room turned on, transforming the room from darkness to light.

Not entirely, at least there was still a guy as black as a braised egg sitting quietly on the living room sofa.

"Oh… who are you? Who allowed you to enter my house without permission?!"

Startled by the one-eyed stranger in front of him, Tony's tone was naturally not very pleasant.

The bald black man evidently expected Tony's reaction, stood up from the sofa, and introduced himself:

"Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. One of my Agents should have contacted you before, but you refused to see him, so I had no choice but to do this."

"I'm sorry, never mind if you're the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., even if you're the President, if you trespass into my room, I can shoot you dead!"

Hearing Nick Fury say he was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony's tone didn't improve; instead, it worsened:

"I've already told my secretary and that Coulson that I'm not interested in your S.H.I.E.L.D., and you shouldn't bother me, even if you are an organization founded by my irresponsible father."

Because of Li Chuan, Tony had no good feelings towards S.H.I.E.L.D.. So when he safely returned to New York and an Agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. named Coulson approached him, he directly chose not to see him.

Hearing Tony's reply, Nick Fury frowned instantly:

"How do you know S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded by your father? You seem to know a lot about us."

According to his information, Tony should have no idea about Howard Stark's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D.. And from Tony's tone, he acutely judged that the other party seemed to think he knew them very well.

Tony shrugged:

"As the heir to Stark Industries, isn't it normal for me to know these things?"

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. I heard you're going around the World being a superhero in your self-made armor. Are you interested in joining my Avengers Initiative?"

Nick Fury saw that Tony wasn't talking, knew that pressing him further was useless, so he shifted to the main topic, stating the true purpose of his visit.

"What are you talking about? What superhero? Are you talking about me? How could I be a superhero?"

Tony's expression was innocent; only Rhodes knew about him being Iron Man, and it hadn't been exposed yet.

Nick Fury pulled out a tablet, then pressed the power button, and on it was footage of Tony wearing his Iron Man Suit, flying in and out of the mansion over the past few days.

Tony saw this and secretly thought that it was indeed as Li Chuan had said, then waved his hand with some annoyance:

"Alright, I am Iron Man, but I'm not interested in your Avengers Initiative. Please leave my house immediately, or I'll call the police."

Nick Fury saw Tony's firm tone and instantly realized that something he didn't know must have happened to Tony, then frowned:

"You should think carefully before making a decision. Also, don't expose your identity to the public casually; it won't do you any good, and we will help you with some concealment."
