He really did it? Are Flying Cars about to become commonplace worldwide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron shook his head. \"Of course, it's not possible in just a few years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anti-Gravity Technology isn't that easy to produce, and even if it's manufactured, miniaturizing it for cars will take a very long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main issue is energy. With the current world's energy technology, it's simply not realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the Marvel Universe, Howard's dream of a Flying Car was not fully realized in the world seventy years later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't because Howard wasn't smart enough, but because the industrial level of the entire world was insufficient to support his ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Genius, but a Genius isn't omnipotent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been born decades later, Howard would certainly have been able to develop more wonderful technologies. Flying Cars could definitely be easily built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard's Flying Car landed abruptly after being three seconds off the ground, scaring Howard back two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing such a major malfunction, Howard showed no embarrassment. Instead, he candidly said, \"I said it would take a few more years, didn't I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy was amazed. \"You were right. You even know about Anti-Gravity Technology?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll find out later that I know even more.\" Aaron smiled mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bucky, standing nearby, heard this and helplessly patted Steve's shoulder. \"Steve, give up, you have no chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall, handsome, and knowledgeable in such advanced technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a man is simply a lady killer, irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From noblewomen and young misses to roadside beauties, no one can resist such a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talented, charming, and exceptionally gifted...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, do you even want us others to have a chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, is dating really this competitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bucky didn't understand Anti-Gravity Technology, nor did he understand energy or miniaturization and such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was thinking, should he go back and hit the books to at least increase his competitiveness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Steve...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, maybe he'd find someone for him later, or act as a wingman to help him get someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve scratched his head, looking bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Carter, this handsome guy is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard, who had just come off the stage, headed straight over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greeted Carter enthusiastically, then saw Aaron. Their eyes met, this was a formidable rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Aaron...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peggy wanted to introduce Aaron further, but then realized she had only known him for a few hours. She knew nothing about Aaron's background except his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she added, \"My friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four ladies accompanying Howard had shining eyes as they looked at Aaron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mandy, perhaps you can take someone to help deal with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard quickly tried to send the ladies away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ladies were very reluctant, looking back three times with every step, making Howard's eyelids twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, Mr. Aaron, it seems you have stolen the soul of my assistants. I suppose you must possess mysterious power.\" Howard joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron raised an eyebrow. \"You even know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell? I just said it casually, don't tell me you actually can?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his billions, he could win over almost all women except Peggy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aaron had, with one move, won over Peggy, whom he couldn't win over. This greatly astonished him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard couldn't help but say, \"Perhaps we could communicate more? Actually, I also have a curious heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's an opportunity.\" Aaron did not answer directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't intend to have too much interaction with the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard was a bit disappointed. But then he proudly began to introduce his new product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you see her? Wasn't she great?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard pointed at the damaged, half-finished flying car. \"Although I don't possess mysterious powers, I can flexibly rely on the magic called 'science' to achieve the same things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard gave Aaron a provocative look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's indeed quite good. Relying on current technology, you can create a half-finished anti-gravity device, which is impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I think there's something wrong with your design direction. The power system shouldn't be like this…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron recited some anti-gravity formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard stood rooted to the spot, his mouth agape. He had originally wanted to show off a bit. But Aaron, with a flick of his wrist, dealt him a trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the formulas he understood, but others were completely baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after saying a few sentences, Aaron stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard, still wanting more, asked, \"Is that all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, it had ended. The other party wasn't much greater than him after all. With some effort, he could still surpass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Aaron's next sentence left him dumbfounded. \"Saying more is useless. Theory is just theory. Even if you know the anti-gravity technology formulas, without corresponding industrial standards and material technology, it's all meaningless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard couldn't help but press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know or not? Give me an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's killing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Aaron turn his head to look for Peggy, Howard was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey buddy, has anyone ever told you that talking to you is really boring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Aaron turned back and said in surprise, \"There really has been. And that person is very similar to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they not be similar? Father and son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Howard retorted after hearing this, \"Then he's definitely not as handsome as me, nor as smart as me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron said, \"Is that so? What a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He thinks so too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard was a bit confused and wanted to ask how he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Aaron turned his head away and whispered to Peggy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, maybe you can tell that person for me, if he's got the guts, to come and have a showdown with me. I'll be waiting for him in New York.\" Howard pointed to the distant Stark Tower and said\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There will be a chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron nodded, thinking of the Infinity War, when the two of them did indeed meet once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with his arrival, perhaps there wouldn't be a chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Carter, Mr. Howard, I didn't expect to see you here too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with glasses and white hair, resembling Einstein, walked out from the crowd. He looked at the people present with considerable surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dr. Abraham.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the newcomer, both Peggy and Howard looked over and greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was Dr. Abraham Erskine, the head of the Super Soldier program. He developed the Super Soldier Serum, laying a solid foundation for various versions of Super Soldiers in the following decades, earning him the title of Father of the Super Soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His most proud product was Captain America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abraham chatted casually with the group for a few moments, then turned to find his target for the evening, Steve.\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.139Z",1,"novelbin.me","62b9bdc09665a8eb506d57c81a89de9093b7b19f67c7d6400176aa7201b304c0","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-239","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-237",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
