Chapter 184 The greatest trust is the expectation and hope

Tony always dreamed about the future where he no longer needs to be a hero. All he wanted to do is lie down on his couch with his family and talk about their memories. Unfortunately, the world needs Ironman. Tony couldn't escape from this responsibility. He didn't have anyone who can take his mantle and legacy. That's why Tony created a new era for him. The era where the heroes have armors which protect others from harm.

As for Arthur, he wanted the peace. He placed his hope on the Avengers and young heroes. He saw the potential of the heroes and their path. Likewise, he wished for a new army which can protect earth from any dangers, and he is halfway through there. However, his plan isn't going smooth. More and more villains are appearing because of the twisted society. That's why Arthur created a new project.

Project E.D.E.N

A place where the new generation heroes can be trained, and old heroes can live with their families. Arthur included numerous names in this list. Especially the Avengers, the GoG, the agents and the inhumans. However, the security council won't agree to this request. Especially, this place would be a new superpower if Arthur built this.

Two days later.

In the Pym Tech lab.

Arthur was watching the show with amusement. He said loudly.

" Cross, is this the armor?"

Cross smiled brightly. He knew Arthur's power and authority in the whole world. He is a superhero, the symbol of peace, and the richest man in the world. Arthur's company can crush Pym tech with a single call.

" Yes, you are right. However, it's not perfect yet. I have yet to complete this set."

Arthur nodded. He extended his hand and said lightly.

" Then I think it is perfect to invest in this company. I have never seen an armor which can surpass Tony's and mine. The core and the concept are fascinating."

Cross shook Arthur's hand with excitement. He thought he scored big for this experiment.

" Yes, It's pleasure. If Mr. Frost is sure, then others wouldn't disagree."

The other rich people smiled deeply. They were glad to accept his invitation. Arthur didn't reveal his intentions at all.

Click, click*

Hope came to Arthur with a calm face. She whispered in his ear.

" What are you planning? You are not here to play, right? It isn't your style."

Arthur shrugged his shoulders. He concealed the truth with ease.

" Who knows? I heard he was looking for the new investors."

Hope rolled her eyes. She was sure that Arthur was plotting something bad because she knew him since he was young. She said quietly.

" Stop playing. Cross might notice our movements."

Arthur laughed. His bright smile expressed his confidence and his craftiness. He teased her with a playful look.

" I am just here to play. Besides, Cross is a pretty cute person."

Hope almost spat out her drink. She looked at him with suspicion. Arthur was grinning.

Step, step*

Cross walked towards them. He said with a polite tone.

" Do you know each other?"

Hope replied immediately. She hid their relationship.

" We were in the same class before. He was a genius student."

Cross said with interest. He looked at Arthur with more expectations.

" I never knew you were a genius at quantum physics. I heard about your achievements in engineering, and other fields, but I didn't have heard this before."

Arthur said with humbleness. He smiled lightly.

" Don't praise me. You are some like me."

Cross's respect immediately sore into the sky. He thought Arthur was same like him.

Hope coughed.

" Well, gentlemen, it is time to go. The party has ended."

Arthur bowed with elegance.

" It was an honor to meet you."

Cross quickly bid farewell. He considered Arthur as his ally.

In the car.

Hope looked at Arthur with annoyance. She said with impatience.

" What did you hide from me?"

Arthur leaned towards her. He looked at her with deep eyes. Hope swallowed. She closed her eyes and gave up her query.

Flick*

Arthur flicked her forehead. He said with a warm tone.

" Why are you closing your eyes? I have children and wives. Do you want me to divorce?"

Hope's face filled with anger.
