Druid in the Marvel Universe Chapter 75: The Sour Smell of Love

Natasha glared angrily at Alvin. This always charming super spy knew that her usual tricks had no effect on Alvin.

Natasha said pragmatically, "Obadiah is a very important criminal. We must take him back. I hope Mr. Alvin can understand."

Alvin laughed and said, "No problem, you can take Obadiah, but that big toy can't be touched, okay?"

Natasha clenched her fists in frustration. Looking at Alvin's smiling face, she didn't know why, but she just wanted to punch him.

Impatiently, she asked in a low voice, "What exactly do you want? S.H.I.E.L.D. has to have this thing because we are major shareholders of Stark Industries. It belongs to us."

Alvin nonchalantly shook his head and said, "My school and kindergarten are still short about ten school buses. This thing can make my eyes go blind for a while. What do you think?"

Natasha gave Alvin an angry look, then turned and spoke into her earpiece to someone unknown. A few seconds later, she turned back to Alvin and said coldly, "Deal. Ten school buses will be delivered to the community school in Hell's Kitchen in three days."

Alvin laughed and made a one-eyed gesture, signaling that they could proceed.

A dozen agents moved quickly, using machinery from who knows where to swiftly dismantle the mech from Obadiah and transport it away.

Alvin smiled as he watched the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents play the role of movers.

He didn't care about that mech at all! It was basically a heavy iron coffin. No flight capability, only running and jumping, and it had a nuclear fusion reactor on its chest.

Who would go to war wearing such a thing? If Hydra all wore one, there would be no need to fight; just open a cancer hospital and wait to get rich.

Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra might not even be able to build it. The mech, maybe, but the reactor, definitely not. Otherwise, with Stark's bad temper, the grass on his grave would be over a meter high by now.

In the Marvel movies, Alvin only remembered an ugly guy with a whip who could build one. Whether it was a future energy reactor or a palladium reactor, Alvin didn't know. But that guy was really dumb, daring to go against Stark with two wires strapped to his body, not afraid of getting shot.

Alvin sat on the steps in front of Stark Tower, lit a cigar, and waited for Stark to arrive. He had something to discuss with him.

In the distance, the police had set up a cordon, keeping the crowd and reporters at bay. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, having obtained what they needed, retreated quickly. There's a saying, "Let the police clean up the mess," which perfectly described what the New York police were doing now.

Chief George, holding a small note handed to him by a man in a black suit, was talking nonsense to the reporters, his face grim. In Alvin's view, his political skills needed improvement.

Haven't you seen your president? He can lie all day with a smile on his face.

After about half an hour, Stark arrived in his Iron Man suit, with Pepper in his arms. Seeing his smug, lovestruck expression, Alvin felt very annoyed. A single guy really shouldn't hang out with this playboy; it's too damaging to one's self-esteem.

From a distance, Pepper saw Alvin and ran over to give him a big hug, kissing him heavily on the cheek. "Thank you! Thank you, Alvin, and also Thor and Dom. Where did they go?"

Alvin shrugged, not telling Pepper she had mistaken the wolf, and instead glared at Stark in a show of defiance, hugging Pepper back and saying, "It's my honor to serve such a beautiful lady!"

Pepper, pleased by the compliment, didn't notice Stark's sour expression and said, "Luckily you came, or Tony would have been in danger this time.

Obadiah stole the Mark I blueprints from the company server and built one himself, intending to take it to the Department of Defense to compete for contracts. Fortunately, I discovered it, or Stark Industries would have suffered greatly."

Alvin nodded. That made sense. Obadiah didn't seem like the kind of fool who would personally pilot a mech into battle. It turned out Pepper had caught him.

Maybe the assassination attempt yesterday failed, and today Obadiah was trying to move, thinking he had a product that could help him make a comeback.

These people really risk their lives for money and status!

Stark, with a sour face, walked over. His battered Iron Man suit made creaking noises.

"Buddy, Pepper needs to rest. You can let go of her now."

Hearing Stark's voice, Pepper realized she was still in Alvin's arms and felt a bit embarrassed.

With a teasing expression, Alvin looked at Stark and said, "Wow~ What's wrong with our playboy? I smell the stench of love."

After saying that, Alvin, under Stark's murderous gaze, kissed Pepper on the cheek again and joked, "The smell is even stronger now. Pepper, you better be careful. This guy is very jealous."

Seeing Stark's reaction, the delighted Pepper patted Alvin's arm, signaling him to stop provoking Stark. She turned to Stark and said, "You chat with Alvin for a bit. I'll go deal with the police and reporters."

Pepper then noticed the massive destruction caused by Stark and Obadiah, shaking her head in frustration. The next few days would be very busy.

Alvin looked at Stark and laughed, "So, Mr. Stark, how did it feel to fight with the Mark II for the first time?

Did you feel like a superhero? Like you couldn't be beaten to death? I suggest you keep the Iron Man suit with you at all times, or you'll be in trouble if there's any danger."

Stark gave Alvin a disdainful look and said, "Do you even need to say that? My Mark IV blueprints are already out. Once I find a new energy source, it will be ready.

By then, it will be a combination of new materials and high technology, and easy to carry."

Alvin nodded and said, "It's good that you have a plan. Oh, a team from S.H.I.E.L.D. just came and took Obadiah and that big toy. I didn't stop them. They said they are major shareholders of Stark Industries."

Stark nodded and said, "I just found out today. Too bad about that hot chick; she's an agent. Not my type."

Alvin looked at Stark curiously and said, "That doesn't sound like you. I thought you were interested in any good-looking woman."

Stark looked around sneakily and said, "I think that hot chick's chest and butt are not quite right. You know I have experience with this."

Alvin ignored Stark's nonsense and said seriously, "Tony, I need to ask you for a favor!"
