Chapter 599: The magical small garden and Pepper Potts

~5 min read 834 words

Bright streetlights and colorful neon lights made Manhattan's Times Square as bright as day.

With its bustling streets and endless crowds, this was one of the few areas in the so-called Land of the Free where one could enjoy nightlife with peace of mind.

Hell's Kitchen, also in the Manhattan district, wasn't far from here, but the nights there were like two different worlds.

Marvel's Hell's Kitchen and DC's Gotham City—these two places were famous for their simple folk customs and the emergence of many talents.

At night in Hell's Kitchen, only Quandou Society couriers dared to come and go at will.

Because Quandou Society couriers were couriers on the surface, but in reality... well, they were also couriers!

But there were couriers and then there were couriers; Quandou Society couriers not only wore unified uniforms and rode unified black BMW motorcycles.

More importantly, they were extremely good at fighting!

How good at fighting?

It is said that once, a female courier entered Hell's Kitchen to deliver a package, and her motorcycle was stolen!

One hour!

In just one hour, the female courier found the thief who stole her motorcycle and directly wiped out the gang the thief belonged to.

This gang had a total of over a hundred people, each one ruthless and daring to kill, having just gained a foothold in Hell's Kitchen.

As a result, they were wiped out by the female courier alone within an hour.

That night, gunfire erupted, and flames soared into the sky.

That gang disappeared from then on.

That night, many people recalled the fear of Quandou Society wiping out Madame Gao's forces.

Since then, from gang leaders to street thugs in Hell's Kitchen, no one dared to have designs on Quandou Society couriers.

Even if a Quandou Society courier didn't lock their bike while delivering a package, no one dared to steal it.

Even where it was parked, the people there had to be responsible for watching the bike, lest some newcomer who didn't know better try to steal it and implicate them.

Of course, there were certainly people dissatisfied with the 'privileges' of Quandou Society couriers, but no one dared to say anything.

There were two reasons.

One: Quandou Society couriers were strong; basically, one person could wipe out a small gang.

Quandou Society had at least two hundred such couriers.

Two: Quandou Society's express delivery business was indeed safe; as long as you added a little 'cargo confidentiality fee', they wouldn't ask questions.

This had increased sales for many gangs' businesses, allowing them to profit from it.

So whether they liked Quandou Society or hated it, no one had the idea of expelling them.

They had even begun to gradually rely on Quandou Society's services.

How should one put it? It was a bit like relying on online shopping and food delivery, gradually changing people's lifestyle habits.

However, compared to Quandou Society's influence on people, the person who truly opened the curtain on a new era was also ready.

Void Tower top floor, small garden.

When he moved in three years ago, this was still a dry helipad; Su Quan found Jessica Jones's sister, Trish Walker.

Among the several designers she introduced, he chose the most expensive one to redesign and renovate the Void Tower.

Without affecting Quandou Society's business and daily life, it took two years to be completely finished.

Su Quan was very satisfied with the final result; it was worthy of being the designer who designed Tony Stark's Malibu villa.

Expensive—it truly had its reasons for being expensive!

The overall design of the small garden was divided into three areas.

Vegetation area, swimming pool area, rest area.

The vegetation area was mainly based on flowers, plants, and bamboo transplanted from Ta Lo.

Grass as the ground, flowers as embellishments, bamboo as boundaries.

The swimming pool area was divided into several small areas, with pools of different sizes scattered about.

The style wasn't the popular modern style, but was unified with the style of the vegetation area.

Mountain rocks as barriers, extremely natural.

The rest area was connected to the vegetation area and the swimming pool area, with bamboo pavilions and bamboo chairs, primitive and natural.

The three areas were integrated into one, naturally formed.

Making this aerial small garden an earthly paradise in the modern steel city.

Ancient style and ancient meaning, natural and tranquil, making everyone who came here feel as if they had arrived in another world.

"Master."

A woman in a bikini came to the bamboo pavilion with a tablet, standing before Su Quan, who was lying on a bamboo chair.

"Phil Coulson of S. H. I. E. L. D. and Pepper Potts, personal assistant to Stark Industries CEO Tony Stark, are visiting."

Su Quan closed his eyes and said noncommittally, "Do you know their purpose?"

The woman answered meticulously, "It should be about Tony Stark's disappearance."

"Not long ago, Tony Stark was invited by the U. S. military to go to Afghanistan to demonstrate the new Jericho missile." ===== CHAPTER 601 =====
