American comics: Omniscient and omnipotent, starting from the melting pot of concepts.

Zhao Hailun was prepared for Aaron to refuse and was thinking about how to seduce him, but... she agreed!

“Your technique is very difficult to experiment with, but I admire you as a person.”

Aaron made no attempt to hide his gaze, and Zhao Hailun immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her hands on the table fidgeting.

"Maybe we can go see a movie, have a meal, and then find a place to have a good talk, what do you think?"

Developing feelings? Not a chance.

He likes to play straightforwardly.

We're all adults; beating around the bush is a waste of time.

Zhao Hailun's face grew increasingly red. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

Just then, the loud sound of helicopter rotors came from outside the cafe.

Many people looked on curiously and saw a transport helicopter slowly landing on the open ground.

Norman stepped out of the helicopter.

Zhao Hailun was unaware of what was happening outside and was quite curious.

Aaron glanced through the layers of obstacles and saw Norman's figure.

"Looks like we'll have to reschedule the movie for another day."

Zhao Hailun was puzzled, but also somewhat... frustrated?

"But would you like to come with me to see some of the big ones?"

"Ok?"

"fighter!"

...

On the other side, Stark Tower.

Tony Stark finally made it to the corporation after being embraced by two beautiful women.

When he saw the overwhelming news about Aaron, Tony ripped off his sunglasses and looked closely.

Then he looked at Happy.

"Is today April Fool's Day?"

Happy actually glanced at his phone. It was May 21, 2010. "Sir, April Fool's Day has been over for more than a month."

"I know!"

"Perhaps without my knowledge, those bored media outlets have once again created a new April Fool's Day for themselves, and it's today!"

Tony pointed to the large print in the media, "Look at this! It's one thing to say Howard is inferior to Aaron, but he actually said I'm inferior to Aaron too! It's utterly ridiculous!"

"Damn it, make a note of this media outlet, The Daily Bugle? Very well, The Daily Bugle won't be on our invitation list for our next press conference or product launch!"

Happy thought for a moment, "It seems like we've never invited them before?"

Tony rolled his eyes. "It didn't work in the past, it doesn't work now, and it won't work in the future!"

"Okay, I understand!" Happy took out paper and pen and solemnly wrote it down.

Tony saw this and shook his head speechlessly.

Just then, Pepper came in from outside with a document in her hand, followed by a red-haired woman.

Tony Stark's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

"It seems my company has a new employee, and I don't even know her name."

“She is Natalie Rushman, from the legal department, and is the subject of an expensive potential sexual harassment lawsuit.”

Knowing the other party's clumsy nature, Pepper immediately interrupted his thoughts, "If you flirt with her again, then we'll have to see you in court. I won't hire a lawyer for you."

"I think I need a new assistant, Happy, what do you think?"

Tony ignored Pepper's warnings.

Happy glanced at Tony, then at Pepper, touched the wedding ring he'd bought back in 08 and always wore in his pocket, and decisively turned his head away: Am I an idiot...?

Tony wanted to say something more,

Pepper picked up a document,

"Mr. Norman of the Osborne Group sent a formal invitation for an upcoming expo on human health and biomedicine."

Tell him I'm busy!

Tony refused without hesitation.

My good mood from seeing the beautiful woman was instantly ruined by the name Osborne.

"The Osborn Group can't produce anything good. Their stuff isn't even worthy of carrying my inventions!"

Tony was very confident and instructed, "When are they? I think it's about time Stark Industries held a new expo."

Happy couldn't help but say, "But we just finished the last expo at the beginning of the month."

Tony smugly retorted, "A month? Has it been that long already? Don't you think our invention, which took only a month to develop, could allow Aaron to catch up to us in ten years!"

He hated it when someone overshadowed him, but he hated it even more when so many people said that Aaron's intelligence was comparable to or even surpassed his!

Ever since he shouted "I am Iron Man" at a press conference at the end of last year.

Stark Industries soared to new heights, leaving other companies far behind!

From that time on, there were only two kinds of geniuses in the world.

One is Tony Stark, and the other is everyone else!

Because he single-handedly revolutionized energy technology for human civilization!

What about Aaron?

The Osborn Group, which appeared out of nowhere and was just picking up the scraps of a loser, wanted to step on Tony Stark to rise to power.

That's wishful thinking! Why don't you run for president of the United States?

Natasha, standing nearby, agreed with Tony Stark's words to some extent.

Tony Stark is terrible, but Aaron is even worse! She'd choose the lesser of two evils and support Tony.

"Looks like there are still smart people in the company!"

Tony was very satisfied; the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

Pepper shook his head speechlessly, then took out a document. "I think we need to take a look!"

Tony glanced down casually, then glanced again.

Finally, I couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

His expression turned serious.

"Okay, I admit he has some ability, but only a little bit!"

Tony kept gesturing with his thumb and forefinger.

"Then shall we go?"

"Of course I'll go! I'm going to wear my new invention later!"

"He'll need a next life to catch up with me!"

Chapter 42 The desert is so vast, it's normal for it to have a few fighter jets!

New York Air Force Base.

The helicopter took Aaron and Zhao Hailun directly to this heavily guarded place.

In the past,

People of Asian descent like Aaron or Helen Zhao would never be welcome here.

But today,

Zhao Hailun understood why the enthusiasm was excessive.

The secretary eagerly approached, grasped Aaron's right hand with both hands, and shook it vigorously.

"Mr. Aaron is very pleased to meet you. Our general is delighted with the Christmas gift you gave him and says this will be the best Christmas he has ever had!"

"I'm sorry, our general is currently unavailable to receive you due to some personal health issues. However, he will personally invite you to a private gathering at the Osborn Group next time to express his gratitude to you individually!"

The secretary was so afraid that Aaron would feel slighted that his attitude was almost obsequious.

Aaron nodded in understanding. "I understand General Ronald's eagerness. If it were me, I would also be eager to open this gift. No one can refuse it, just as no normal man can refuse a beautiful woman."

Zhao Hailun's face flushed slightly, but she still tried her best to straighten her back and stand up straight with a smile on her face.

She made herself at least appear to be in line with Aaron's status as his female companion.

Although she felt strange about the Christmas gift.

It's only May now, and Christmas is still six months away. Is this a local custom?

And in her memory, weren't US military bases very secure?

Why did no one ask her about her identity or background from the moment she boarded the helicopter to the military base?

Is it all because of Aaron?

The secretary noticed Zhao Hailun's actions and smiled even more warmly, "This must be Mr. Aaron's girlfriend, right? She's even more beautiful than Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson."

Zhao Hailun returned a gentle smile, still somewhat nervous and unsure of what to say.

She glanced at Aaron subconsciously, then quickly lowered her head, neither denying nor refusing.

Even if she's only been my girlfriend for a day, she still counts as my girlfriend!

Sensing Zhao Hailun's nervousness, the secretary wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Fearing that Aaron might be displeased,

He led the way, guiding the group to a deserted airport.

Along the way, officers kept casting respectful glances at the crowd.

Although she knew that these officers respected Aaron, Zhao Hailun still felt honored.

As a citizen of country H, this was the first time she had ever felt so proud and elated.

"Mr. Aaron, these were all gifts from the General..."

The secretary glanced at Zhao Hailun beside Aaron and quickly corrected himself, saying, "The equipment delivered to you."

"Ahem, the general hopes that your company can further improve these things."

"Given that these are all obsolete products, and given Mr. Aaron's busy schedule, it's alright if you don't have time to improve them. The Osborn Group will always be our Air Force's best partner!"

This explanation was entirely improvised by the secretary.

After all, these items were all personal equipment given to Aaron.

Improvements? They could simply turn to Hammer Industries.

The Osborne Group doesn't actually have much involvement in the defense industry.

Furthermore, Aaron could not possibly serve the U.S. military.

Improvement is impossible, it's impossible in a lifetime!

Zhao Hailun completely missed the implied meaning.

She's still somewhat dazed.

This was her first time visiting a US military base. Yet, these military personnel, who were so arrogant in front of H country, were so humble in front of Aaron, just like the respect that subordinates showed to superiors or juniors to seniors in their country.

Oh my god, this is incredible!

As for this batch of aircraft

Zhao Hailun found it somewhat familiar, but the hastily modified and dyed fuselage coating left her unsure.
