Chapter 45

~5 min read 810 words

A projection opened in the conference room.

"No, no, no. If you want to use my money, you need my approval."

Tony's figure appeared in the 3D projection.

It was as if he were truly there in person.

And he casually refuted Captain America.

Captain America didn't frown but retorted.

"Then have I earned your approval, Tony?"

Hearing this, Tony thought for a moment, pouted, and replied.

"Maybe... perhaps."

That single word "perhaps."

Made Captain America's expression instantly turn serious.

But Tony shrugged indifferently, tapped the table, and said.

"Alright, I didn't come here to talk nonsense with you."

"Let's get to the real business."

"After Friday's analysis, thanks to Ms. Wanda's heroic performance, the public's impression of the Chouzhelian Alliance has improved by 26%."

"And support for Wanda instantly jumped from 31% to 66%, more than doubling."

"So what I'm trying to say is."

"If you don't want the Chouzhelian Alliance's reputation to be ruined both online and in reality, then talk less and do more, and avoid causing damage to the city. Understand?"

"Learn to be like Ms. Wanda: strike only the target. Use your brains more."

Perhaps this is Tony's personality.

He was being a bit showy while saying these words.

So this made Captain America very annoyed.

Captain America crossed his arms, looked at Tony, and asked.

"Are you saying that when facing enemies, we should care about property safety rather than the safety of Chouzhelian Alliance members?"

"And that we don't use our brains during combat?"

Tony shrugged, didn't even look at Captain America, and said.

"I never said anyone should just roll up their sleeves and fight without thinking."

"I also never said whether he was holding a round shield."

"I'm saying use your brains more. Think more before acting on how to minimize losses."

"As for safety issues, I believe you don't need me to tell you to protect yourselves."

Captain America was visibly annoyed.

He stepped forward, wanting to argue with Tony.

"Tony!"

But Tony glanced at him, scanned him up and down, then pointed at Captain America and said.

"So I don't want to say another word to someone like you who only knows how to fight!"

"Tony Stark!" Captain America raised his chin and said, "Do you think we were spurned by the citizens for no reason of yours?!"

"It was your arrogance and unauthorized actions that caused the Sokovia incident!"

Watching the two argue.

The other members exchanged glances, all wanting to step in and mediate.

Because this had escalated to the point of arguing over who was right and who was wrong.

And a team cannot be divided by individual right or wrong.

It is either right together, wrong together, successful together, or failed together.

"Yes, you're right."

But Tony immediately looked at Captain America, nodded, and replied.

"Then take your members and show good performance."

"See if people can trust you again under the leadership of you, a World War II star."

Having said that.

Tony glanced at everyone.

Then he directly turned off the 3D projection and left.

Then silence fell over the conference hall.

"Bang!"

After a long while.

Captain America slammed his fist on the table.

"Disbanded. Go back and rest. Wait for the mission."

Unlike the argument in the conference hall.

After returning to her room, Wanda began searching online for information about Su Yi.

But unfortunately.

Su Yi's name was only popular in high society circles.

On the internet and among ordinary people, there was basically no news about him.

So Wanda searched and only found Su Yi's title and such.

What: 【The Top-Tier Psychiatrist】 【Handsomest Doctor, First Place】 【The Unknown Big Shot】 and so on and so forth.

But for Wanda, this was enough.

She directly read through every piece of news about Su Yi.

Then she went back to bed, lay flat, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Right, her mind was still on Su Yi.

After all, compared to her story before meeting Su Yi, basically every single thing had been a misfortune.

Her parents were killed by a bomb developed and manufactured by the Stark Group...

Her brother died saving others during the Ultron incident...

Her homeland, Sokovia, was also completely destroyed by Ultron...

But after meeting Su Yi.

Milk tea... respect... laughter and joy... passionate kisses... love...

These were all things Wanda had never felt before.

Right now her head was full of Su Yi — when she opened her eyes, when she closed her eyes, she couldn't forget him even if she wanted to!

So for Wanda, today.

Was destined to be a sleepless yet beautiful night.
