Chapter 42 Beauty Trick?
Chapter 42 Beauty Trick?
After Leon exited the safe house, he didn't go far before a car pulled up behind him. It was the same stunning sports car, and the driver was still the beautiful agent Natasha Romanoff.
"Get in," Natasha Romanoff said with a displeased expression as she drove the car towards Leon.
Leon turned his head to look around and shrugged. "Did I do something to provoke you?"
"Why are you giving me a hard time?" Natasha's face showed confusion.
"And I didn't even call for a car," Leon said, even more amused. Did he really need her to give him a ride?
"Goodbye," he waved his hand and gestured to fly. Leon suddenly disappeared without any warning.
If he wanted to, he could teleport to any corner of the universe. Did he really need a car to pick him up? There was nothing on Earth that could surpass him now, not even the speed of light.
Natasha Romanoff looked at the spot where Leon disappeared, taking a long time to regain her senses.
After a while, she called Fury. "Boss, he left on his own. I didn't even have a chance to talk to him."
Fury made a mistake. He had initially thought that Leon was the type of person who couldn't resist beautiful women. He believed Leon was a lover of beauty like Tony.
Last time, Leon had shown some interest in Natasha Romanoff.
But today was different.
In fact, Leon had a suspicion that Fury deliberately sent Natasha Romanoff. he was aware that she was playing an damsel in distress role.
Even if it wasn't a beauty trap, it wasn't too far off.
Leon found it amusing.
Are you kidding? Wouldn't Krypton have been in danger if he could easily be swayed by a beautiful woman?
In the galaxy where Krypton existed, there was another race called the Daxamites.
These two races had similarities and differences.
Firstly, they both possessed similar abilities and could gain Superman-like powers by absorbing yellow sun rays.
However, Kryptonians were vulnerable to kryptonite, while Daxamites were vulnerable to lead.
Although the two races shared the same Star galaxy, their vast cultural differences led to perpetual warfare between them. They were not friendly neighbors but enemies.
Leon used to be the supreme commander of Krypton and had dealt with Daxam extensively, especially during the most devastating conflict when he led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to completely obliterate Daxam.
A hundred thousand years ago, the Daxamites had to go into hiding beneath its surface to survive.
If Leon hadn't withdrawn his troops in the end, they might have eradicated Daxam entire history.
So, as mentioned earlier, Leon had no shortage of beautiful women. The women on Daxam were as stunning as those on Krypton, and they could even be considered a different form of female like Supergirls.
Daxam and Krypton might share a common ancestor from the distant past, so there was no reproductive isolation between them. They could intermarry and pass on their offspring.
If Leon could be easily swayed by beauty, he would have been defected long ago.
He wasn't that type of person.
Certainly, if the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't be impolite to enjoy it.
For example, when it came to the beautiful reporter, Leon didn't return home that day. He didn't go back to Tony's house until noon the following day.
Tony, who was also a veteran playboy, noticed something different about Leon and saw that he appeared a bit frustrated.
Tony wondered, "Didn't the process go well?"
Leon rolled his eyes. Seriously, at thirty-eight years old, Tony asked such a question?
In the end, Leon decided to share what was bothering him.
"The process itself is going smoothly, but the end result isn't," Leon sighed. With his current physical abilities, ordinary people no longer satisfy his aesthetic preferences.
Fortunately, he can control his strength now. Otherwise, the force of his urine alone would have destroyed a delicate porcelain urinal in the bathroom. It was a fragile piece of porcelain that even a crowbar could easily break 🥢.
Leon felt unhappy because as he continued to absorb the yellow sun's rays, the power within his body kept growing stronger, seemingly without limits. He wondered if he would ever find a wife who perfectly matched his newfound abilities. Would he remain single for the rest of his life?
"Aren't you going to see Pepper Potts?" Leon tried to shift the topic away from himself and inquired about Pepper Potts' whereabouts.
Tony looked at Leon strangely and reminded him, "Didn't you forget that I transferred all of Obadiah's shares to you? Whether it's the company's board of directors or Obadiah's children, someone needs to handle them."
On the other hand, Leon had no one like that. How could he justify it? When giving money to others, he had to count the money himself and hand it over?
Leon was surprised. "Obadiah has children?"
Indeed, Obadiah had a son. Obadiah Stane was his full name, and his son's name was Zeke Stane.
Zeke was only a few years younger than Tony. After all, Obadiah and Howard were friends.
However, the two of them couldn't play together because Tony was a genius while Zeke was someone who couldn't help but get into trouble.
In the comics, Zeke once took on his father's mantle and appeared as the fifth-generation Iron Monger, which caused Tony a lot of trouble.
There were also several generations of Iron Monger. The first Iron Monger was naturally Obadiah, and then there were four more versions, each with a different style.
That was why Leon insisted on killing Obadiah and completely destroying those Iron Monger materials and parts. He was worried that the fire wouldn't be completely extinguished and would reignite.
He also began to wonder if Zeke was a hidden threat.
Tony quickly intervened, "Dude, don't worry about Zeke. He's just a second-generation rich guy without any real threat. It's better to let him live than to make him disappear."
All right.
Leon was on the verge of writing the word "kill" on his face, but when Tony saw it, he saved Zeke's life.
The transfer of shares seemed to keep Pepper Potts busy for a long time.
Meanwhile, Tony had been busy improving his battle suit lately.
It was said that Tony had developed a new version that could be disguised as a suitcase. It would appear as an ordinary suitcase but could transform into a battle suit instantly in case of emergencies.
"But for the sake of lightness and convenience, the armor of the battle suit will be thinner than before, including reduced energy capacity," Tony expressed his concerns.
Now Tony no longer wore the Arc Reactor on his body but instead mounted it on the battle suit.
In this way, although the suitcase battle suit was easy to carry, it was the weakest set of battle suits overall.
"By the way, I also designed a battle suit for you as a token of appreciation," Tony suddenly said.
Leon turned his head to look and saw a specially designed armor with dark blue as the main color and a bright red "S" emblem proudly displayed on the chest.
