"The steak at that restaurant was pretty good today!"
"I thought the cod was even better."
"The ice cream was delicious!"
Jill, Wanda, and April were excitedly chatting in the back seat of the car.
It was Friday, and since Jill wanted to get closer to Wanda, they hadn't eaten at home. Instead, they'd gone out to dinner at a so-called Michelin Three-Star Restaurant.
Honestly, there wasn't any need to book a table half a month in advance. This world, lacking the big-spending foodie tourists from the Great Eating Empire, meant if you had the money, you could eat whenever you wanted.
Of course, if you specifically wanted Bluefin Tuna, maybe you would need a reservation!
"Actually, I think the sister who plays the piano is the prettiest, she has such great poise," Pietro, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but chime in when he saw them chatting so happily.
"You little pervert, you probably just like that she's wearing less, right?" April scoffed at Pietro; this kid was hopeless.
Early dating might be common in America, but at least try to be normal!
Actually, Pietro was considered quite handsome among teenagers, and with his family's wealth, he was pretty attractive in the eyes of his female classmates.
But this kid, for some reason, just wasn't interested in people his own age. He was into mature, intellectual older women.
And the results?
Who would even pay attention to him?
If he got labeled a lolita… how would he even live his life after that?
"Pietro, you're so annoying!" Wanda looked at her brother with a face full of disdain. Why couldn't he be more serious!
"Li Qingyuan saw it too, that piano girl even passed him a note!" Pietro immediately sold Li Qingyuan out.
These past few days had been spent accompanying Jill on shopping sprees, so with her help, Li Qingyuan had been completely transformed, with his entire wardrobe replaced with top-tier brands.
After all, even though Jill was a tomboy, she was no less skilled than any woman when it came to dressing up.
Previously, Wanda was too young, and April's identity was just a maid, so Li Qingyuan's clothes were casually bought from nearby shops, just for simplicity and convenience.
But now, thanks to Jill's efforts, his overall charm had increased by at least eighty percent.
A whole outfit cost at least a hundred thousand US dollars, and with a watch worth more than three hundred thousand dollars, wasn't it normal for other women to pass notes to him while his female companion was in the restroom?
"Qingyuan-gege is called charming, you wouldn't understand!" Wanda didn't care and stabbed another knife into Pietro's heart.
Pietro immediately felt like his life was a tragedy. Was it really necessary to be so harsh just because he was a little short?
"You little brat, you were quick to sell me out!" Li Qingyuan stopped the car, grabbed Pietro's head, and twisted it viciously.
Honestly, he wasn't interested in the girl who had passed him the note.
She wasn't as pretty as Jill, nor did she have Jill's… assets. The most she had going for her was that her backless evening gown looked decent. He'd only contacted her out of boredom.
But it was still her kind gesture. Wouldn't it be a shame if he didn't accept it?
"Bro, I was wrong! Can we go back first?" Feeling like he was about to get a good beating, Pietro immediately became a little more agreeable.
"Can't go anywhere!" Li Qingyuan tapped Pietro's head twice before looking at the distant sky with a touch of melancholy.
"What's wrong?" Jill was the first to react, leaning forward from the back seat and looking out the front windshield.
In the sky not far away, two figures of light were locked in battle.
Ordinary people could only see two blurs, but with her dynamic vision, she immediately recognized them as two things resembling humanoid mechs. "What's that?"
Jill asked curiously.
"Trouble, big trouble!" Li Qingyuan looked at Iron Man and Iron Monger battling in front of him, already cursing internally.
Could you two please find somewhere else to fight? I really don't want to run into you guys.
He had already cleared Obadiah's instance reward, but he hadn't triggered Iron Man's instance yet.
Iron Man was Marvel's golden child. Who knew where he'd be thrown if he met him?
Star Wars? Starship Troopers?
Anyway, if he considered Iron Man's identity and abilities, he was probably looking at a blockbuster on a galactic scale.
If he went there with his current strength, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
His biggest reliance was throwing around nuclear warheads, but those movies started with planet-destroying cannons!
"Should we retreat first?" Jill said quickly when she saw his helpless expression.
"It's probably hard to leave now!" Li Qingyuan pointed to their surroundings. They were completely surrounded.
This was Sixth Avenue, where traffic jams were rare. But now, two strange-looking guys were fighting in front of them, instantly blocking the road.
"Get out of the car and walk!" Jill made a quick decision. Since Li Qingyuan said the other party was a big problem, she didn't want to get too involved with them. Retreating now was the best option.
"Alright!" Although the front might be where Iron Man made his debut, Li Qingyuan didn't want to get involved with them, so getting out of the car and running away was the best solution.
As for whether this car would affect others by blocking the road?
That was none of his concern!
The group of five quickly scrambled out of the car, retreating with the flow of people.
Indeed, they were worthy of being citizens of the great New York. When faced with a situation of gods fighting in the sky, aside from a few clueless individuals still holding up their phones to take pictures, most people chose to abandon their cars and run.
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, violent explosions erupted in the sky, and then a figure in red and yellow dropped from above.
Clang!
Iron Man plummeted from the sky, though his landing wasn't exactly graceful; he face-planted.
If it weren't for the iron armor, Li Qingyuan figured Tony Stark would be giving a beheading performance right now!
CRASH!
A heavy thud echoed from behind. Iron Monger's massive, bulky frame had landed squarely on Li Qingyuan's newly purchased Rolls-Royce.
The car's roof immediately caved in. Iron Monger weighed several tons, and considering the inertia from its descent, the car's quality was impressive that it wasn't flattened.
"I am the strongest!" Obadiah cackled with glee; apparently, firepower was justice.
He'd been battling Tony Stark in the air for a while, and Iron Monger's agility was no match for the Iron Man suit. He'd been getting beaten up left and right with various maneuvers.
But after he'd launched the Sidewinder Missiles, the situation had instantly turned around!
