Chapter 140: Steve
When Fang Mo, returned to the safe house, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
It's worth mentioning that Nick Fury hadn't taken any rest; he sat on the sofa deep in thought. However, the room remained shrouded in darkness as he hadn't switched on the lights.
Despite Fang Mo possessing senses far superior to those of an average person, he initially failed to detect the presence of the other person.
Given that Nick Fury rarely displayed a smile, there were no rows of gleaming white teeth in sight. Naturally, Fang Mo couldn't see him.
Only after the lights were turned on did he notice the silhouette on the couch.
"What, can't afford the electricity bill?"
Fang Mo glanced at Nick Fury on the couch. "I gave you a whole gold blocks before. Can't you manage a bit of luxury?"
"The gold blocks were allocated towards Hydra's payroll," Nick Fury said. "However, whether I turn on the lights or not isn't relevant to them. It's simply a personal habit."
"Is it more convenient for you to grumble in the dark?"
Fang Mo asked.
"I hadn't even known what 'grumble' meant before," Nick Fury said. "But to deal with you, I've dedicated time to familiarize myself with the concept."
"Merely acquainting yourself with the concept isn't sufficient."
Fang Mo chuckled. "You don't think I can be handled solely through 'knowledge,' do you?"
"So, what should I do?" Nick Fury retorted. "If not through knowledge, then how? Should I employ watermelons and fried chicken to contend with you?"
"Well, well, it seems you've made progress in these few days of absence."
Hearing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but smile. "Fortunately, I've crossed paths with you now. If you continued training a while longer, you might even master teleportation."
"So, has your little pet hatched yet?"
Nick Fury also seemed uninterested in pursuing that topic, given their prior inappropriate discussion. Changing the subject, he focused on the small Ender Dragon nestled in Fang Mo's arms. "Is this the Ender Dragon you were referring to?"
"Isn't it adorable? My son."
Fang Mo proudly patted the head of the little Ender Dragon. "Come on, give Old Nick a fearsome dragon roar."
"?"
The little Ender Dragon gazed at Fang Mo, puzzled, seemingly not comprehending.
"Just roar at him," Fang Mo rephrased. "Unleash your fiercest aspect. Come on, emit a beam of destructive white light."
"Roar!"
The little Ender Dragon roared at Nick Fury, but its intimidation factor was lacking.
"So why do you address me as 'Old Nick'?" Hearing this, Nick Fury couldn't help but inquire, "Shouldn't it be 'Uncle Nick' or 'Uncle Fury'? I suspect you're playing games..."
"I'm not from America." The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
Fang Mo shrugged. "In our mage circle, close relations are usually referred to using single words, like Old Wang, Old Zhao, Old Chen, and so on. So, calling you Old Nick or something is simply an indication of our rapport."
"Do you believe I'd trust you?" Nick Fury asked candidly.
"Well..."
Fang Mo glanced at him. "How about I allow you to interact with the dragon for a bit?"
"Agreed."
Nick Fury immediately nodded, then extended his hand to receive the small Ender Dragon from Fang Mo.
"Have fun, but be careful not to blind your other eye in the process," Fang Mo handed the small Ender Dragon to Nick Fury. "It's different from a cat; its suction is potent. Exercise caution."
"I'm just in it for fun whether I sleep or not," Fang Mo nodded. "I'll accompany you."
"Then let's proceed. The car is waiting outside."
As Nick Fury spoke, he turned and headed outside.
"Using a car, huh?"
Fang Mo stopped Nick Fury, remarking, "Your tech side is lagging behind. Allow me to show you our mysterious mode of transportation."
With that, Fang Mo activated the Space Stone.
A blue-black mist enveloped them both, and in an instant, they found themselves inside Stark's seaside villa. Coincidentally, they were in the same spot as the cheeseburger scene from Iron Man 1.
Not far from Fang Mo and Nick Fury, a silver-haired young man was bound to a chair, glaring angrily at Stark.
Stark's expression was a mix of emotionshelplessness, guilt, anger, confusion.
As for Pepper Potts, she was wearing clothing that clearly didn't belong to her, looking rather shaken. She was breathing heavily, and red light pulsed within her body, a telltale sign of the Extremis virus.
However, with Fang Mo's arrival, all eyes turned to them.
"How did you gain access?"
Stark looked at them, clearly puzzled. "Jarvis, did you grant these two permission to enter?"
"Mr. Stark, this is a form of potent magic."
Jarvis replied, "At present, my technology isn't sufficient to prevent their entry into the villa."
"You see, I told you, your tech side is lagging," Fang Mo turned to Nick Fury and jestingly said, "Come on, join me in saying, 'Long live magic.'"
"What's transpiring here?"
Confronted with a serious situation, Nick Fury didn't engage in Fang Mo's humor. "I heard someone intended to attack you?"
"I recall disposing of all the listening devices here," Stark said, looking at Nick Fury.
"My agent happened to be passing by when he heard an explosion. He's a fan of Iron Man," Nick Fury improvised, likely influenced by his interactions with Fang Mo. "He was concerned about your safety, so he alerted me. I wasn't monitoring you."
"Very well, we can discuss this later."
Stark clearly wasn't buying Nick Fury's explanation. He gestured toward the silver-haired young man not far away. "He's the one who initiated this attack, but I don't think your involvement is necessary. This is my personal..."
Before Stark could finish, Fang Mo suddenly recognized the individual.
"Wait, you're Pietro?"
Fang Mo looked toward the silver-haired young man, slightly taken aback. "How did you end up here? And where's your sister, Wanda?"
"You recognize me?"
Pietro was also surprised by this revelation. He hadn't expected someone to recognize him, considering he was merely a minor figure from Sokovia.
"The fastest man alive in the worldhardly anyone wouldn't recognize you. Besides, your speed in snatching lunches is also top-notch," Fang Mo quipped.
