Chapter 97 - Chapter 4: Target America

"What kind of email is this?" Jason asked after taking a look. "Looking at the format, it looks like a video, but Spider-Man, are you sure this thing doesn't have a virus?"

Peter tried using several software programs to check the email sent by this unknown person, and confirmed it several times before speaking with certainty.

"It shouldn't be a virus, just an ordinary video file. But who would send a video to us?"

"Okay, Spider-Man, just open it and we'll know." Mindy is a man of action and clicked on the video directly.

"In the endless darkness, the universe..." The deep and hoarse voice, the intense music, and the animated CG in the video, well, it turns out that this is a game promotional video.

And it's not on sale right now. It will take a long time before it's released. Now it's just an advance promotion.

"Tsk~ You made me so nervous, but it turns out it's just a promotional video for a game." Mindy curled her lips in disdain.

Jason and Peter were also confused, as if they were facing a great enemy. They thought someone had discovered the secret here.

"It looks like just an advertisement. It seems that a large company directly rented a server to randomly send advertisements to the entire network." Peter turned off the video and shrugged.

"Okay, what terrible spam." Jason also expressed helplessness.

"Are you coming to the base tomorrow?" Peter asked Jason about his plans for tomorrow. "We can still play some ranked games. Mindy's level is simply amazing."

Hit-Girl had a smug look on her cute little face.

"Oh, maybe not. I have an appointment tomorrow." Jason said he had something else to do tomorrow.

"Is he dating a beautiful lady?" Mindy suddenly got gossipy and became excited. She put her arms around Jason's neck and hung on his back to inquire.

"Well, not really. On the contrary, he is a man who is very popular with women and very easy to be disliked." Jason said while grabbing Mindy's little hand that was hugging his neck.

Now that Mindy is with everyone, especially with Jason and Peter helping her with her lessons, her personality has improved a lot.

She used to be a bit of a loner, after all, she was led astray by her father. Now, she not only has the cool temperament of Hit-Girl, but when she takes off the mask, she also has the cuteness of a normal little girl.

"Okay, Mindy, let's start today's training. Let's see if your knife throwing skills have improved recently." Jason said as he carried Mindy to the training room. After all, it was just a consensus for everyone to train Mindy together.

And Mindy herself is really talented. Frank and Big Daddy trained her in firearms, various tactical moves and combat experience.

Jason was responsible for training her in cold weapon combat, knife throwing, and close-range dodging. Originally, Jason wanted to try to teach Hit-Girl how to practice internal energy.

However, it is obvious that in order to practice internal energy, one needs to first understand the meridians and acupoints. Jason's own skills all come from the system, and then he uses it like instinct.

But if you want him to clearly point out the direction of each acupuncture point and tendons, he really can't do it. Moreover, without a systematic cheat, the cultivation of internal energy requires a very long time to achieve success.

So we had to give up on this aspect.

As for Peter, he is responsible for teaching Hit-Girl her lessons and training her reaction ability. Spider-Man has a strong spider sense, which cannot be passed on to others.

But Peter can provide others with training and experience in this area, especially Mindy, whose growth has not yet been finalized and has great potential.

However, the same training does not bring much improvement to adults like Jason and Frank who have already established themselves as adults.

It can be said that under the guidance of a group of teachers, although Hit-Girl Mindy has not been training for a long time, her strength has improved significantly compared to before.

No one can predict what the girl's future will be like if this kind of training continues.

Jason and Hit-Girl went to train with cold weapons and throwing knives, while Peter was looking for patterns and design inspiration on the Internet.

As for the seemingly normal promotional video, Peter deleted it and everyone forgot about it without taking it seriously.

"Dr. Ethan, do you know what I like most about you?" He was leaning on the sofa in Tony's private residence on the top floor of the Stark Industries building and talking lazily.

"Which point?" Dr. Ethan was standing on a low ladder helping Pepper Pepper straighten the position of a painting. Pepper had always felt that the painting was a little crooked since the staff hung it. "A little to the left, doc."

"Because of your humility, calm demeanor, and strength." Tony adjusted his sitting posture.

"Oh~ A little to the right, Doctor, you can find a perfect position." Pepper made sure that he had found a more comfortable position now. "Tony, if you have time to praise the Doctor, why don't you come and help the Doctor."

"Thanks for the compliment Tony, maybe I'm not that strong after all." Ethan said as he came down from the short ladder.

"No, Doctor, you are really strong, and I am glad that you can cheer up and come to New York with me. And Pepper, since I paid for the employees, why should I, the boss, do this kind of work?" Tony stood up and handed Ethan a glass of water and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you, Tony, because I can't live in grief forever. Ever since my family left me, I decided to do something meaningful and not waste my life casually." Ethan picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that death is meaningless. As long as I can live, I have the opportunity to do more things."

"Doctor, you are an honest gentleman. I think someone can learn a lot from you." Pepper said meaningfully.

"Yes, Doctor. We are indeed doing a lot of useful things." Tony lowered his voice as he spoke. "The performance of MK2 far exceeds expectations. I think it will soon be able to enter the actual combat stage."

Ethan patted Tony on the shoulder and changed the subject. "Yes, I believe we can do more for the world."

"But before we save the world, I think we should eat. Mmm~ this smells really good."

Jason's date today is Tony's private party chef. When Jason first arrived today, he was shocked to see a middle-aged man with Middle Eastern appearance.

After Pepper introduced him, I found out that he was Dr. Ethan. Wasn't he just a minor character who died? Why did he appear in New York?

Well at least this doctor is a good man, and being alive is better than being dead.

"Tony told me that you are the best chef in the United States. I didn't expect you to be so young. When I was your age, I could only make hummus. In fact, even now I can only make hummus." Dr. Ethan came to the center island kitchen and chatted with Jason.

"Hummus is also a very good dish. Today I have prepared a dish with the flavor of your hometown for you, Doctor. Grilled minced lamb kebabs with rosemary, cumin and a little fennel." Jason smiled and chatted with Dr. Ethan.

"There are also vegetable meatballs made with hummus, and Pete fish. The staple food is rice soaked in saffron water, and I used some of the recipes from Western China to make mutton rice."

"Wow, just hearing about these dishes makes me hungry. There are not many chefs in the United States who can cook Middle Eastern dishes." Ethan hasn't eaten food that suits his taste for a long time.

"That's why I told you, this guy is the best chef in the United States." Tony walked over with a glass of sparkling wine and placed it on the dining table in front of Jason.

"But why do you never address me with honorifics?" Tony was a little unhappy that Jason had just addressed Ethan with honorifics but had never addressed himself with honorifics.

"Because the doctor is an honest gentleman." Jason repeated what Ethan had just said without even a lick of shame.

Ethan, who was setting the table in the distance, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jason's words.

"Well, you little..." Tony was about to say something, but his cell phone rang at this time.

"Obadiah, what's the matter? I know I've been keeping a low profile recently as you said. You go and deal with the board of directors. Stabilize the stock price first. Okay, that's it." Tony answered a phone call, which mentioned the stock price.

Jason is now quite concerned about the stock price of Stark Group, after all, he bought tens of thousands of dollars. Although he knows that it will rise in the future, it is now plummeting, so he should not be forced to close his position before the price rises.

"Mr. Tony, when will the stock of Stark Group stabilize?" Jason asked Tony.

"Ha~ When did you start caring about our company's stock price?" Tony raised his eyebrows and said.

"Because I am a shareholder of Stark Group, and I bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of stocks." Jason replied.

"When did you buy it?"

"When you announced that you were shutting down the weapons division and would no longer produce weapons."

"..." Tony looked at Jason with complicated eyes, and finally sorted out his thoughts and thought about how to phrase it before saying, "You do have a good eye for investment."

After saying that, he picked up the sparkling wine that was originally intended for Jason. "To Jason's investment vision." Then he drank the glass of sparkling wine in one breath.

Well, Jason didn't . He was actually quite curious about what flavor of sparkling wine Tony bought.

On the vast Pacific Ocean, a cargo ship flying the Egyptian flag is cutting through the waves.

Husano, a member of the Ten Rings Gang, was sitting in the captain's cabin communicating with someone via a satellite phone. "You didn't get rid of Tony Stark! You let him come back in a swagger. How dare you ask me for the follow-up money?"

The person on the other end of the phone said angrily.

"Mr. Obadiah, Tony Stark will definitely die, I promise you. But you'd better prepare the money first, otherwise we will have to get it ourselves." Husano said lightly.

"What are you going to do? Come to New York and kill Tony?"

"I think so. We're almost there."

The freighter's destination is the United States.
