Chapter 72: Tony Stark

Jack looked at the siblings with mixed emotions and sighed deeply.

These kids had been through so much, especially Wanda. Her parents died, and her brother - her only family left - died. Her entire life had been filled with tragedy and trouble.

But with him in this world, things were going to change.

"If you want to leave, I can send you away now," Jack said, arms crossed and with a smirk. "Of course, if you want to stay a little longer, you can do that too."

"Um...can I ask you for a favor?" Wanda looked at her brother and gathered the courage to speak to Jack.

"Don't say 'favor'," Jack interrupted, waving his hand. "Just tell me what you need. If you need anything, just say it."

Wanda seemed hesitant and struggled to speak, her lips opening and closing without a sound.

"Let me say it," Pietro said, seeing his sister's hesitation. "Can you...end the war in Sokovia?"

After saying this, both Pietro and Wanda blushed. They felt they were being too greedy, asking an alien with a spaceship to end a war in their country.

After saying that, both Pietro and Wanda got embarrassed. They felt like they were asking for too much by requesting an alien with a spaceship to come and stop a war in their country.

Jack frowned as he listened. It wasn't that he couldn't do it; he had the power to end the civil war in Sokovia. But that wasn't what he wanted, and it wasn't part of his plan.

Firstly, even if he used his great strength to end the civil war in Sokovia, the peace wouldn't last for long. The war would start again as soon as he left unless he stayed in Sokovia forever.

Secondly, the situation in Sokovia was quite complicated.

Besides the reasons related to history and geography, a big reason why the war was still happening was because Hydra had deep roots in Sokovia. They needed a chaotic situation to hide their activities and existence.

Although he had just destroyed their headquarters, they would soon regroup. Unless he could completely eliminate Hydra, Sokovia would never be peaceful.

Finally, and most importantly, it was the most troublesome point for Jack.

Once he used his powers to bring peace to the war in Sokovia, he expected that the world's attention would be on Sokovia and on him.

He was afraid that this would cause more trouble, and Sokovia would become even more chaotic.

This was not what he wanted.

Therefore, this matter was not easy to handle.

When they saw him frown, Pietro and Wanda immediately thought he didn't want to help them, making them sad. But then, out of nowhere, Jack said one thing that made them feel hopeful again.

"Possible, but I need to plan it out. You two go rest for a bit," Jack waved his hand before disappearing.

He had thought of a good plan and needed to try it out.

The siblings watched Jack suddenly disappear, stunned. Wanda murmured, "Maybe... he really can do it."

"Hmm," Pietro nodded in agreement.

.....

On the other side, Jack arrived at the bridge and summoned Red Queen.

"Red Queen, invade the global network and find Tony Stark, Ulysses Klaue, Nick Fury, Gideon Malick, Daniel Whitehall..."

He reported a long list of names, and Red Queen located them one by one after researching and investigating, quickly finding their whereabouts.

"Very good."

Looking at the location information on the holographic projection, Jack nodded in satisfaction. "In this way, things will be easy to handle."

If he handled it himself, it would be very troublesome. Why not give it to someone else to handle

He could easily find people who were capable and have them help stabilize the situation in Sokovia.

Las Vegas, Casino

When you come to the casino, it's tough to resist the temptation to gamble, and once you get started, quitting is difficult.

That's why many people come as millionaires but leave with nothing.

Of course, there are also lucky ones who leave with their pockets full, but trust me, leaving full of money is not a good idea here, as countless eyes are watching those who leave the casino with big smiles on their face in the dark.

However, for some people, this is not a problem at all.

Bellagio Casino

This casino is super popular in Vegas, so it's always super crowded with many people and staff running around like crazy. The casino is so big that you need to be careful to avoid getting lost.

There are also many celebrities, socialites, and business tycoons here.

Today, a famous person has arrived at the casino, so much so that even the casino owner had to personally welcome him. Tony Stark, the owner of Stark Industries, which supplies over 50% of the military weapons in the US and its allied countries.

Tony Stark is a rich guy who sells weapons, and just today, he made several billion dollars by signing an agreement with the military. Last night he was chatting with a new supermodel, and today he's spending some of that money.

Tony Stark was gambling in the lobby and lost a ton of money, but he didn't care because he was having fun with two gorgeous models serving him. He got a little too drunk and left his bodyguards behind to go to the bathroom by himself.

Tony, who was already drunk, walked into the empty restroom, but something felt off. His brain was confused by alcohol, and his urgent need to use the bathroom left him with no time to think.

He stumbled into a stall and began undoing his belt but suddenly stopped, looking around in confusion.

"Huh? Wait, wasn't I just in the bathroom?"

As his drunken confusion cleared, he realized he wasn't in the bathroom.

"How did I get home?"
