Wolverine Escaped

Sixth Avenue in New York City, the Alvolis Grand Hotel.

Opposite the hotel's entrance, in the parking lot, luxury cars were parked, indicating the distinguished status of the guests attending the banquet.

The Stark Industries banquet had gathered a multitude of business celebrities, not only from New York but also from wealthy businessmen from other regions.

The Alvolis chain of luxury hotels, built with a huge investment by Fang Ye, had now become one of the world's top hotels.

The hotel's facilities were extremely luxurious, and it was equipped with top-notch security measures and personnel.

Upon learning that Stark Industries was hosting a banquet today, the police had sent officers to maintain order and enhance security. Therefore, the wealthy attendees had no need to worry about any danger.

The banquet hall was already bustling with activity. The buffet tables were filled with a variety of delicacies and wines.

Even before the banquet officially began, many people were already engaged in conversations with each other.

"Mr. Stark is here..."

Someone suddenly called out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, a luxurious top-tier sports car appeared, and after the car door opened, Tony leisurely stepped out.

Tony was wearing a black suit, exuding an air of nobility and elegance. His confident smile added to his charm and temperament.

"Mr. Stark..."

Many people greeted Tony, and those who were farther away smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Such scenes were already commonplace for Tony. He had grown used to being the center of attention wherever he went, receiving flattery from all around.

Tony greeted those who greeted him with nods and smiles one by one.

Although he was confident and even a bit arrogant, it didn't mean he lacked social skills or emotional intelligence.

"Beep, beep!"

While everyone's attention was on Tony, a top-tier limited edition luxury sports car appeared at the hotel's entrance.

The sudden honking sound drew everyone's attention, and when they saw the person who arrived, everyone was instantly amazed.

"Mr. Fang Ye..."

If Tony's presence surprised the wealthy guests, then Fang Ye's arrival brought them pleasant surprises.

It was because Fang Ye rarely attended banquets or gatherings with other wealthy individuals. This made it difficult for many people who wanted to get to know Fang Ye to have the opportunity.

Seeing Fang Ye suddenly, they now had a chance to get to know him, and naturally, many people were pleasantly surprised.

Although Fang Ye rarely appeared in public, he occasionally accepted interviews with TV reporters, and he had also been on the cover of Time magazine more than once. So, most of the people present recognized him.

Those who were surrounding Tony went over to greet Fang Ye as well.

In just a short moment, Fang Ye was surrounded by a group of people. Their attitude towards Fang Ye was much warmer compared to their treatment of Tony.

Many of the wealthy attendees wanted to become members of Yueyi Fund, but the threshold was too high, and some of their requirements couldn't be met.

Fang Ye was dressed in a white suit, with a calm smile on his face. He nodded and smiled in response to the greetings.

Tony, upon seeing Fang Ye's arrival, stopped at the entrance, waiting for him, and the two of them entered the banquet hall together.

As they passed by some beautiful women, these women smiled or nodded in acknowledgment, and the two men maintained their calm smiles in response.

In the eyes of these women, there was a trace of flirtatiousness. Faced with men like Fang Ye and Tony, who were still unmarried at this age, it was inevitable that some women would be interested.

"Hey! Fang, I regret inviting you. You stole my limelight as soon as you arrived..."

Although many women greeted him as well, Tony noticed that these women's gazes were mostly focused on Fang Ye.

This made Tony, who considered himself charming, feel a bit unsettled.

Naturally, Fang Ye understood that Tony was just joking, and he played along.

"Should I feel honored to make you regret it?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Well, I should indeed feel honored. By the way, shall we find a place to sit and talk? There's something I want to discuss with you."

"Sure!"

Fang Ye's proposal was not rejected by Tony, as Fang Ye was one of his few good friends.

Fang Ye wanted to talk to Tony about his acquisition of Stark Industries' shares, but he didn't want Tony to misunderstand his intentions. After all, Fang Ye had a history of absorbing Osborne Industries.

However, Fang Ye's main intention was to gauge Tony's reaction and see if he could gather any useful information about the Iron Man armor.

Although Fang Ye had thoughts about building his own Iron Man armor, he had never considered harming Tony. In the Marvel world, he was just a passerby and had few friends in this world, with Tony being the only one he got along with.

This was because Tony and he were somewhat similar, especially when it came to dealing with emotions.

Who could say that Tony was not faithful? Tony had only ever loved Pepper Potts throughout his life, but he liked to fool around outside.

If it were any other woman, perhaps they would have left Tony long ago, but Pepper Potts chose to silently tolerate Tony.

Pepper Potts was the closest person in Tony's life, illuminating his life, protecting him, and tidying up the messes for him, making his life orderly.

Behind a successful man, there was always a woman silently supporting him, caring for him, and inspiring him to move forward.

And undoubtedly, Pepper Potts was such a representative.

In fact, many people envied Tony for having someone like Pepper Potts by his side, someone who loved him wholeheartedly and considered everything for him.

Fang Ye was also envious of Tony in a similar way. He envied the presence of Pepper Potts by Tony's side.

In the real world, there was also such a woman who silently supported him, cared for him, and encouraged him.

Before getting married, Fang Ye did indeed have many women, but after getting married, he seldom went out for fun anymore. Moreover, he had promised her that Bermuda would be his last adventure, but little did he expect that he would be separated by two worlds after that...

So Fang Ye wanted to return to the real world. Even though the Cosmic Cube had opened a space-time tunnel, the chances of him returning to the real world were still very slim.

However, for that tiny possibility, Fang Ye was willing to give it his all, even if it meant facing the world alone.

Perhaps because of this similarity, Fang Ye felt that he could get along well with Tony and they had quite a few common topics. Although they had not known each other for long and rarely contacted each other, their relationship had always been very good.

The two of them sat down in a corner of the living room, and others seemed to have noticed that they had something to discuss, so they tactfully refrained from interrupting.

"Tony, about my acquisition of Stark Industries' shares, I suppose I can't hide it from you, but I hope you won't misunderstand. I don't have any ambition towards Stark Industries."

"I don't misunderstand because I know you're a smart person!"

Tony had a smile on his face as he raised his glass and gently clinked it with Fang Ye's.

"Also, I have to thank you for helping stabilize the stock market of Stark Industries. Otherwise, it would have been a bit troublesome for me to handle it myself."

"I'm also a shareholder of Stark Industries, right?"

Fang Ye smiled indifferently. Geniuses were often self-confident, and their pride surpassed that of ordinary people. Tony was undoubtedly a genius!

To make him say thank you was indeed quite rare.

Afterward, Fang Ye chatted with Tony, continuously guiding the conversation while trying to test the topic of the Iron Man armor.

Unfortunately, Tony didn't take the bait, and after nearly half an hour of conversation, Fang Ye couldn't obtain any useful information from Tony. To avoid raising Tony's suspicion, he couldn't be too direct in his questioning.

"Bzz, bzz..."

Suddenly, Fang Ye felt his phone vibrating. He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Shu Long.

Without avoiding Tony, he answered the call.

"Boss, something's not right. Someone has escaped from the underground research room..."

"Who escaped?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ye's brows furrowed, and his tone became cold.

Fang Ye was very confident in the security of the underground research room. How could someone possibly escape?

"Wolverine, Storm, and Scarlet Witch. These three people have been rescued by someone."

"Did you send people to pursue them?"

"We've already sent people to pursue them, but we haven't received any news yet. It seems someone is helping them."

"I'll be back right away. You keep things under control!"

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ye's face darkened rapidly.

Sitting opposite him, Tony noticed this change and couldn't help feeling worried. It was because, in the time he had known Fang Ye, Fang Ye had always been calm and composed, rarely displaying emotions like he was doing now. Clearly, something big had happened.

"Fēng, is there something wrong? Do you need my help?"

"No need. I'll handle it myself. But it seems I can't accompany you today. I need to go back and deal with something."

"Alright! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't let it affect your affairs. Go back quickly!"

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Nodding to Tony, Fang Ye left the banquet hall.

In such a public place, Fang Ye couldn't directly teleport.
