My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?
Chapter 594 It looks like those two kids are going to be in big trouble tonight
As time went by, the originally lively celebration banquet gradually came to an end, and the noisy atmosphere became warm and gentle at the moment. Most of the guests and friends had smiles on their faces like "the flowers are half-opened and the wine is tipsy." .
"Ah uh~ I'm so full~"
In the corner of the banquet, Peter, who had already eaten his fill from the cakes and desserts on the table, burped. His eyes scanned the banquet hall aimlessly, trying to find something interesting from the guests coming and going.
However, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the chic and elegant figure in the hall, a strange thought came to his mind.
"Harry, do you think our bet should continue?"
Harry, who was also feeling full from eating and burping from drinking Coke, couldn't figure out why Peter said that, so he couldn't help asking in confusion.
"why not?"
"Um... let me tell you first, I don't want to be rude, but have you noticed that Mr. Stark seems a little absent-minded today."
Peter raised his chin and told Harry to look at it.
Harry scratched his head when he saw this, looked in the direction Peter pointed, and then saw Tony talking and laughing with several guests as usual.
"Are you thinking too much? Why don't I feel..."
Before Harry could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Peter.
"No, Harry, look at his eyes. Although he is still smiling, there is something missing in them."
There was a hint of insight in Peter's eyes that belied his age.
"Look, he seems to be chatting, but his eyes often drift to the direction above..."
Peter pointed to the area separated by tempered glass directly above the banquet hall. It was dark at the moment, and they couldn't see what was inside at all.
Harry couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he saw this, and he did notice Tony's somewhat careless movements.
"Sister Leni said before that it is an experimental area and is temporarily closed to banquet guests."
"What do you think is up there?"
Peter's eyes sparkled with curiosity, as if he wanted to peek through the thick layer of tempered glass to see the secrets hidden above.
"How do I know?"
Harry answered subconsciously, but then he turned to look at Peter beside him as if he was aware of it.
"What do you want to do? Sister Leni has specifically warned us before that we must not go near there without their permission."
Harry's eyes were full of scrutiny, which made Peter shrink back guiltily, but the curiosity and desire in his eyes did not weaken.
"I know, Harry, but I'm just curious."
Peter murmured quietly, his eyes still drifting involuntarily to the dim experimental area.
"Mr. Stark is a genius, there must be something great hidden in his laboratory.
Besides, if you look at Mr. Stark's obviously absent-minded look, does it mean that a very important experiment is being carried out in that laboratory at the moment? "
When Peter said this, his words were full of eagerness to try, as if there were endless treasures hidden in the dark experimental area, just waiting for the brave to explore.
"Come on, I think you just think Tony can't beat Thor tonight, so I want to find a reason to avoid the bet."
Harry curled his lips and exposed Peter's little thoughts without mercy.
Peter's cheeks blushed slightly when he heard this, but then he defended himself:
"No way! What I said is true, and didn't I say it? I didn't mean to cheat..."
However, Harry didn't believe it at all, and besides, who knew what exactly was being studied there?
What if some harmful substances are being studied inside? Wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they broke in without permission?
"That won't work either. I've already won anyway, so don't think of any crooked ideas."
Harry said firmly, and at the same time turned his gaze in the direction of Thor again.
"Besides, Peter, you see, there's another stir over there with Saul."
Peter looked over after hearing the inquiry, and then saw Sol holding a small, finely carved wine flask, introducing him to the people around him in a serious manner.
"...No, no, no, this is different. This is good wine that has been aged for more than a thousand years in the wooden barrels of the wreckage of the Glenhal fleet. Mortals cannot stand this."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the surprised attention of many people around him, including Captain America Steve Rogers.
You know, he has been frozen in the ice for so long, and he is only a hundred years old. The wine that has been sealed for more than a thousand years...
What does that taste like?
"More than a thousand years..."
A trace of curiosity flashed in Peter's eyes, and he wanted to give it a try, but then he remembered Sister Leni's previous warning, so he had to obediently give up this dangerous idea.
"Okay, I admit that Thor is indeed more attractive than Tony, whether it is his story or his Asgardian wine..."
Peter sighed in frustration, seeming to have accepted the reality.
"But then again, aren't you really interested in what's hidden inside? The thing that can make Tony even more obsessed might be the latest model of steel suit!"
Peter's words caused Harry to fall into a brief silence.
Indeed, as Tony's friend, he has always been full of curiosity and expectations for Iron Man's equipment. The original Mark 42 Prodigal Son is the most obvious example.
However, Leni's warning and the mystery of the laboratory deterred him.
"Peter, we can't..."
"Please, let's just take a look! Take a look at what's inside. We won't even enter, I swear!"
Peter stared at Harry with almost pleading eyes, his curiosity like a ignited flame that could not be easily extinguished.
Harry looked at Peter's eager eyes and couldn't help but feel shaken.
He knew that he was no less curious than Peter, but he just knew how to control himself better.
But at this moment, Peter's plea seemed to give him a chance, a chance to indulge his curiosity a little.
"Okay, but we have to be careful. We can only take a look from a distance and never go in." Harry compromised.
But at the same time, he glanced in the direction of the bar where Sister Leni was sitting with a guilty conscience, fearing that the other party would notice their little actions at the moment.
So Harry lowered his voice and warned Peter in a deep voice:
"You know the consequences of being discovered by Leni, so..."
"I understand, don't worry!"
Peter grinned, showing his white teeth, with an excited smile on his face.
Ever since, the two naughty little guys started to act. They first left the table as if nothing had happened, then avoided the sight of Sister Leni in front of the bar, followed the edge of the living room where many guests gathered, and sneakily climbed up the passage. Stairs to the upper experimental area.
"Leni..."
Natasha, who had been standing at the bar and temporarily acted as the banquet bartender, keenly noticed the movements of the two little guys at this moment, and then used her eyes to signal Leni to look towards the stairs.
"Those two little guys are planning to cause trouble again."
Upon hearing this, Leni drank down the martini in her hand and nodded without looking back.
"I know, those two brats want to take a look at Tony's laboratory..."
With that said, Leni stood up from her seat, not paying attention to the eyes of the people around her. She reached into the void and took out a seemingly ordinary tree branch.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this scene, the girls who had originally planned to watch the show suddenly took a breath and thought to themselves, is Leni going to beat the child in front of everyone?
"Leni, this is not a good idea!"
Simmons on the side quickly intervened to stop her, and Maya simply reached out and grabbed Leni's wrist, trying to snatch the branch from her hand.
You must know that this is the United States. The law does not allow adults to spank children, and Leni will not be allowed to spank children in public, let alone with a tree branch!
"Don't worry, I am sensible, I am just trying to scare them..."
Leni gave the girls a look of relief, indicating that she was not that reckless yet.
"Besides, these two brats are really naughty. I had warned them not to be curious about the experimental area, but these two brats turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Leni's eyes were full of sternness. She could accept the two children's strong curiosity and their occasional mischief.
But the premise is that all this must be done safely.
However, the laboratory is not a safe place at the moment, and Leni herself is not sure how far the situation inside has developed at this moment.
If those two children barged in and attracted Ultron's attention now, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Don't worry, I won't really hit them."
After gently breaking away from Maya's hand, Leni waved the branch in her hand, which incredibly left a solid shadow in the air.
The girls who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes, and then they immediately realized that the seemingly ordinary branch was not extraordinary!
"Gulu~"
Skye looked at the branch and swallowed unconsciously.
To "scare" two children with such a tree branch that anyone would think was not ordinary, Leni is probably the only one in the world who can do it, right?
"I...I'll go over and have a look."
In the end, Skye still felt a little uneasy, so she simply put down the wine glass in her hand and followed Leni.
"Wait, I'll go too."
Seeing this, Maya hurriedly put down the wine glass in her hand and followed the two of them.
"It seems that those two children are going to be in bad luck tonight."
Simmons looked at the leaving figures of Leni and the three of them, and couldn't help but sigh, causing Natasha and Hill to nod in agreement.
…
"Harry, hurry up, don't be discovered by Sister Leni!"
Peter, who was full of curiosity, sneaked up the stairs first under the cover of the guests and was now standing at the door of the experimental area.
"Peter, you said we would go back after just one look. If Sister Leni finds out, we will be dead."
Harry, who was a step slower, was still a little worried. He felt that when he just came up, he seemed to have attracted the attention of Dr. Banner who was passing by.
"Oh, I know, stop being so nagging, come and see!"
Peter ignored Harry's concerns, pulled him forward, and then lay down on the tempered glass of the experimental area, trying to see clearly what was really inside through the dark glass partition.
Harry on the side couldn't resist this guy, so he had to imitate the other person's behavior, lying on the glass partition together, trying his best to open his eyes wide and look inward.
"Oh my god...it's so cool in there!"
Through the dim glass, Peter saw various advanced instruments displayed in the laboratory, as well as devices that seemed complex but full of technology.
At this moment, his love for science seemed to be ignited, and he seemed to have seen his future dream.
"Look at that, isn't it the device we saw when we visited Stark Industries before... and that one over there... my God..."
Peter exclaimed excitedly, and did not forget to pull Harry beside him.
"Harry, look, look at the one on the middle table! That scepter! Could it be..."
But before he could finish his words, Harry beside him coughed dryly at this moment.
"Ahem!"
"It's definitely not wrong, that must be the scepter in the hands of the evil god Loki! I saw it on TV!"
Peter's voice trembled a little because of excitement. He was sure that he was not wrong. The scepter that still emitted a faint blue light under the dim laboratory light must be the weapon used by the culprit of the New York War!
"Ahem! Peter..."
Harry beside him coughed dryly again, trying to wake up Peter Parker, who was still excited and forgetful.
"Harry! I bet this must be the scepter..."
Peter turned his head excitedly, just wanting to show off his good memory to Harry, but it was not until then that he noticed that there was no shadow of his good brother Harry beside him, and there was no one beside him at all.
Peter Parker's voice stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help but think of a possibility in his mind. His body began to stiffen unconsciously, and the originally excited expression on his face quickly turned into fear.
He didn't dare to look back, because at this moment he had already noticed that two familiar figures were reflected on the dim glass partition in front of him.
"Ah... Harry, I think we should get away from here as soon as possible. After all, Sister Lainie warned us before that this place is actually very dangerous, don't you think?"
Peter's voice trembled a little, but he tried to make his tone sound calm.
He tried to hide his uneasiness by changing the subject, but he knew very well in his heart that he was about to get into trouble.
"Ah..."
The sigh of his good brother behind him seemed to confirm Peter's thoughts at the moment.
Peter wanted to escape, but the person behind him seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
Before Peter could make any move, a slender branch that seemed to have just been cut from a tree and even had green leaves on it, gently rested on his shoulder like a feather.
"How about it, little Parker, have you seen enough?"
Lainie smiled and bent down, leaning close to Peter's ear, whispering in an extremely gentle and pleasant voice.
"Do you want me to take you inside to have a good look?"
"Gulp~"
Peter swallowed hard, and after trying for a while, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Don't bother, Sister Lainie, there's actually nothing to see inside, and I'm a little sleepy, can Sister Skye take us home?"
Peter placed his hope on another lady behind him, begging her to take him out of the sea of suffering.
However, judging from his stiff tone and the figure that didn't dare to turn his head, he actually knew better than anyone that no one could save him at this moment.
"Don't even think about it, brat. Your sister Lainie has seen through your little tricks a long time ago."
Sure enough, Skye completely dispelled the last bit of luck in Peter's heart.
