Black Book

Chapter 515: The Real [Superhero]

"Well……"

After careful thinking and serious analysis, Zhu Haomiao suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh, right, the Director of SHIELD, the bald, one-eyed black man with a head like a boiled egg."

"........."

Because of Zhu Haomiao, Tony had a deep understanding of the history and culture of Southeast University, which inevitably involved some food.

The image of the boiled eggs appeared before his eyes, overlapping with the shiny head in his memory. The corners of Tony's mouth twitched wildly and uncontrollably, and it took him two full seconds to suppress it.

"His name is Nick Fury."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony suddenly realized something and the smile on his face slowly froze.

Wait, I don't think I ever told him that I knew Nick Fury!

SHIELD is a top-secret agency!

Not only does he know about S.H.I.E.L.D., but he also knows the connection between Nick Fury and himself?

This happened just a while ago!

Before that, even I didn't know about this mysterious organization hidden in the dark and guarding the world!

Thinking of this, Tony couldn't help but glance at Zhu Haomiao with a complicated look.

Aren’t you really omniscient and omnipotent?
Why do you feel like you know everything?

On the other side, without noticing Tony's subtle emotions, Zhu Haomiao nodded happily.

"Yes, yes, that's Nick Fury. Just give the Cosmic Cube to him and say you found it on the street."

"........."

How can you pick up something so extraordinary at first glance on the roadside?
And it just happened to be picked up by me, who knew Nick Fury?

How do I know this thing belongs to SHIELD?

Tony looked at the transparent cube in his hand that was shining with divine light, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

How about making up a slightly more plausible reason?
Aren’t you being too perfunctory?

It's full of loopholes!
After hesitating for a few seconds, Tony asked cautiously.

"Nick won't believe this. If this thing is very important, what if he asks for the truth?"

"Well……"

Realizing that he had thrown a hot potato to Tony, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds and pursed his lips in embarrassment.

"Then you can reveal my existence to a limited extent."

Hearing this, Tony breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

Knock knock~
Just then, there was a knock on the door. A simple and honest middle-aged man in a sports shirt stood by the door, looking at the strange boy in black curiously.

"Tony, we got a guest?"

"Do we need to postpone today's combat training?"

Hearing this, Tony Stark came back to his senses and shook his head.

"No, let's get started right away!"

As his last straw, Tony did not give up practicing the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique] and spent a lot of energy on it every day in private, but the effect was not obvious.

Immediately, noticing Zhu Haomiao's interested gaze, Tony introduced him politely.

"Happy Hogan, my personal bodyguard, good buddy."

"Happy, this is Zhu Haomiao, Mr. Zhu."

Sensing the rare respect and awe in Tony's words, Happy Hogan looked at the graceful and elegant young man in black calmly, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Who is this kid?
How could Tony treat him so seriously?
Indistinctly, it didn't seem like he was introducing a child, but rather a great man who could influence the world! In just a moment, Happy's mind raced, and he quickly adjusted his mindset, solemnly and respectfully extending his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Happy."

After a polite handshake, Zhu Haomiao looked him up and down with interest and found that this guy was broad-shouldered and fat-chested, with a body full of knotty muscles, but underneath the fat, he looked a bit honest and round.

A real-life expert...

Among normal people, this is considered the ceiling level...

Nodding secretly in his heart, Zhu Haomiao did not say much greetings and let Tony and Happy put on boxing gloves and protective gear and go to the ring to fight each other.

Beside her, Pepper hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but asked softly.

"Mr. Zhu, can't you really help Tony?"

Watching the fight on the ring without blinking, Zhu Haomiao murmured meaningfully.

"Pepper, you're being lazy."

"People's destiny must be in their own hands. If you pray to gods and Buddhas when you encounter difficulties, you will only become a giant baby who will never grow up..."

"Besides, I can protect him for a while, but can I protect him forever?"

As he spoke, looking at Tony who was sweating profusely and struggling to hold on, Zhu Haomiao raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and murmured softly like in a dream.

"There is an old Chinese saying: If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away."

"You can't see through such a simple truth, but Tony can."

"The naive, attention-seeking boy has now become mature and tough. This is his growth!"

"Heaven moves in good health, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."

"His transformation is not just about his iron suit, but more importantly, his indestructible heart!"

"Only such a strong mind can support him to fight to the end with his mortal body..."

The voice, as thin as a mosquito's whisper, became smaller and smaller. Even though Pepper was very close, she could not hear the black-clothed boy's mumbling clearly. She could only vaguely catch a few key words.

Maturity, growth, soul...

Looking at Tony who was sweating profusely on the ring with complicated eyes, Pepper realized only then that Tony, who she had been with day and night, had quietly become more brave and determined.

Even when faced with the threat of chronic death, he did not retreat at all!
He is no longer a big boy playing with toys, but a real [superhero]!
knock knock!

At this moment, there was another knock on the open door. A charming, graceful and beautiful woman came in with documents in her hands, looked around, and immediately attracted the attention of the three men in the room.

The two people on the ring stopped fighting, and even Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but look over.

Natasha Romanoff...

She was more charming than expected, like a blooming rose with thorns. Just standing there, she exuded a powerful presence, like a 'heroine' on stage, attracting everyone's attention.

More beautiful than Scarlett, with a better figure...

Supernatural charm...

The taste of lust...

Stroking his chin with a playful look in his eyes, Zhu Haomiao noticed that the moment Natasha saw him, her pupils suddenly contracted and all the muscles in her body tensed.

Although she returned to normal after just a few tenths of a second, her flickering eyes still revealed her inner tension and fear.

On the other side, noticing the unanimous gazes of all the men present, Pepper secretly rolled her eyes.

Sure enough, all men are the same!
Even Mr. Zhu is no exception!

Not knowing what Pepper was thinking about him in her heart, Zhu Haomiao stared at Natasha who was walking towards him, with the corner of his mouth raised as if smiling.
