Rise of an Empire

"Why do you suddenly come here to check information?"

Howard asked Conrad with some confusion.

The wedding was only halfway through, and he was originally planning to see how his son performed at the wedding.

Although Howard has always seemed to ignore Tony over the years, he is his only son anyway, so how could he really not care?

If it weren't for Tony's growth and future development, how could he put aside his dignity and cooperate with Conrad?

If Winnie Carter hadn't gotten Howard's tacit approval, how could she, a prostitute, have dared to decide Tony's future life privately?

"There's something wrong, we need to find out." Conrad didn't know what to say. After seeing Princess Diana in the square just now, some important information suddenly seemed to flash in his mind, just for a moment. But I can't remember it.

So he immediately said sorry to the Queen of England, and then took Howard straight to the British Archives.

It stands to reason that such a national-level archives would never be open to outsiders, but because of his identity and the fact that he was looking for some old information from decades ago, the person in charge of the archives collected a After the check is issued, it will be released directly.

"What are you looking for?" Howard was a little helpless. Conrad had become more and more rude to him in recent years, completely treating himself as free labor.

But after thinking about his son, Howard gritted his teeth and prepared to endure it first.

Wait until Phoenix enters the front door of his house, then he will slowly settle the score with this bastard.

"A piece of information, a British Army flying major who was killed in World War I, his name was Steve Trevor." After thinking about it carefully, the Duke recalled the name engraved on the tombstone he saw yesterday.

"The man who died in World War I, what are you going to do now?" Howard was a little confused. This man has been dead for sixty or seventy years, so why are you looking for this information?

What's more, a mere major, what's there to care about?

"Why do you care so much? Help me find it." Conrad did not answer his question, but started to read directly.

The main reason why he wanted to bring Howard along to look for it was because the information from decades ago was all handwritten and not stored on computer hard drives like later generations.

In a vast data room covering thousands of square meters, trying to find a document from sixty or seventy years ago is a daunting workload.

But for top scientists like Howard, finding information is their forte.

Finding the information you want among thousands of materials can be said to be an essential skill that every scientist must master before computers were popularized.

So in just thirty minutes, Howard found Steve Trevor's file from the top of the bookshelf.

"How come I've never heard of this guy being so fierce?"

Howard flipped through Steve Trevor's information and said strangely.

According to information, this pilot named Steve Trevor actually killed German Field Marshal General Ludendorff during World War I, and also defeated Germany's latest biological and chemical weapons arsenal.

Although he also died in that operation, as an unknown soldier, he was able to be buried with the marshal of a hostile country. This is already an extraordinary achievement, right?

Normally, this kind of civilian hero should be the target of publicity by the British government. However, Howard carefully looked through his memories in his mind and found that there had never been any information about this unknown hero.

"This plot looks a bit familiar," Conrad said silently after taking the information from Howard.

"What plot?" Howard was a little confused. What was this guy talking about?

"Nothing, let's go back first. The wedding should be over soon." Throwing the information back on the file shelf, the Duke shrugged and said.

He is now basically certain that the girl with incredible long legs that he and Little Phoenix met yesterday should be the legendary beauty and DC's number one Wonder Woman.

Otherwise, no one in the world could escape from his perception, let alone frighten Phoenix into confusion.

According to the information, yesterday was the death anniversary of Steve Trevor, so as his rumored girlfriend during his lifetime, it is a reasonable explanation for Wonder Woman to pay homage to him.

Completely different from the chaotic private life of Black Widow, the first sister of Marvel, the most powerful sister of DC is very persistent in dealing with relationships. As far as Conrad knows, the other party is the one who just left the island. Steve's guy was a bit ambiguous and didn't even reach second base.

And for such a guy whom she has only known for less than ten days, Wonder Woman has always regarded him as her spiritual sustenance, and has even insisted on calling herself his woman for so many years. It is really incomprehensible.

But this is the best

The Duke showed a satisfied smile. He didn't get the soup from Marvel's Black Widow. He didn't expect to have the chance to meet DC's Black Widow. Could it be that God had sent him a blessing from some unknown source?

Although compared to Black Widow's skills, Wonder Woman's abilities are much more powerful, and she is even scarier than Wang Dachui in normal state, but for Conrad, this is not a problem.

After all, I have read so many fanfics of Wonder Woman, so I naturally know where that girl’s weaknesses are.

By the way, why are there so many fanfics for Wonder Woman, but so few for Black Widow?

To know whether the heroine is popular or not, it mainly depends on the number of fanfics.

Otherwise, why would Asuna be called Honzina?

Thinking of yesterday's incredible long legs and Wonder Woman's stunning appearance, the Duke couldn't help but laugh.

"I asked, why are you smiling so obscenely all of a sudden?" Howard looked at Conrad who suddenly started to giggle in surprise, and took two steps back and asked.

"Really? It's just a pure smile, okay?" After hearing Howard's complaint, Conrad quickly straightened his expression and said indifferently.

identity, identity, attention to identity

I am a well-known public figure. No matter how happy I am, I must remain calm.

"I always feel like you're thinking of something bad again." Howard shook his head. He had been working with Conrad for several years, and he naturally knew what kind of character his partner was.

But firstly, Conrad did not show any anti-human thoughts, and secondly, Howard himself was not a good person strictly speaking.

Therefore, before there are any serious differences between the two of them, temporarily cooperating is the best choice.
