Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Father-in-Law Comes Knocking!
Bai Luo had lingered at Tony's place for two days, even taking a look at the Iron Man Suit that Tony had developed. To be honest, he wanted one for himself, but it just didn't suit him—he was someone who drew talismans and tossed them around. Would he really have to take off the armor to throw a Talisman?
Recently, Bai Luo hadn't received any new missions, nor had he earned any points. After that sudden dance with Sadako one night, she returned to her usual self. However, Bai Luo could tell that during those twenty years of memories, he had played a part; Sadako's resentment had been successfully controlled.
Bai Luo couldn't change Sadako's established memories because memories were things that had already happened, but he could influence a person's thoughts.
The same memory could create two entirely different individuals.
Although Sadako remained as silent and cold as ever, this incident showed him that she had indeed changed.
As for Mizumura Memeko's constant remarks about "Sadako has already been conquered by you," Bai Luo didn't see it that way. Unless something happened, whenever he tried to chat with Sister Sadako, she never responded.
After spending a few days with Tony and getting familiar with Pepper and the others, Bai Luo received a call from Fury summoning him back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trident Headquarters in Washington.
Nick Fury was waiting for him in his office.
The moment Bai Luo walked in, he spotted the dark-skinned bald head.
Fury appeared calm and collected as he glanced at Bai Luo and said, "Have you seen Tony Stark's new gear?"
Bai Luo nodded and replied, "It's quite impressive."
Fury smiled slightly and said, "I want to recruit him."
Bai Luo knowingly asked, "You want Tony to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Not S.H.I.E.L.D., but rather a different organization that I plan to establish," Nick Fury said, shaking his head.
He slowly rose from his high-end office chair, his glossy black bald head shining in the sunlight streaming through the rooftop window. "You should understand that there are many people in this world like you, Steve, and Tony. And I... I have an idea to gather a group of individuals like you together to see what we can accomplish. When people are in need, you will stand up, just like in Kansas City—not to save the world, but to help people fight battles they cannot win themselves.
"And if we are defeated and countless lives are lost, we will continue to fight for revenge.
"What do you think of such an organization?
"I want to call it the Avengers."
Bai Luo saw a fierce light shining in Nick Fury's eyes.
He had never imagined hearing such words from Nick Fury himself in a real-life scenario. Even as a traveler, Bai Luo felt a stir of excitement.
Nick Fury smiled. "I am here to invite you—to invite you to become a member of the Avengers. Will you accept?"
Bai Luo pondered for a moment and asked, "Will I get reimbursed for my expenses?"
"I'm planning to bring Tony Stark into the fold," Nick Fury replied. Though he didn't directly answer Bai Luo's question, the implication was clear: once Tony joined, all expenses would be covered by him.
Bai Luo chuckled and said, "Then I'll think it over—this could be a life-changing decision."
Fury didn't press Bai Luo for an immediate answer. "I'll await your response... If this decision truly has the potential to change your life, I believe it will bring about positive changes."
"Sounds good. By the way, I'd like to request a change of hotel," Bai Luo said.
Fury raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong?"
"Bai Luo said, 'A familiar reporter has been wanting to do an interview with me.'
'Oh, really? That's a good thing,' Fury replied.
Bai Luo was sure that this guy definitely knew about Elena's constant pursuit of him.
But neither Fury nor Bai Luo commented on it; he just smiled and said, 'If I were to have an interview in bed, it shouldn't become a political scandal, right?'
Nick, still serious, rubbed his chin and responded, 'If you're not running for president, it shouldn't.'
By the time Bai Luo returned to the new hotel, it was already getting late. Natasha seemed to still be out, and Coulson was busy helping Tony with some aftermath work. He was still trying to convince Tony to join S.H.I.E.L.D., but with Tony's pride, getting him to join any organization where he would be managed was clearly not an easy task.
Having moved to a new place, Bai Luo thought he could spend a quiet night. However, he didn't expect that when he returned after moving his things and having dinner in the evening, his room would already be filled with familiar faces.
As Bai Luo opened the door, the first thing he saw were two beautiful women in the room.
They were two Lornas, looking exactly alike—short dark green hair, pale skin, bright red lips, and black-painted nails—exuding both fragility and strength. The only difference was that one Lorna was glaring angrily at the other while the other wore a cheerful smile.
On one side of these eye-catching beauties sat another old acquaintance of Bai Luo's—Magneto.
Dressed in a red trench coat, Magneto sat on the bed looking even paler than the last time Bai Luo saw him, yet his gaze remained sharp and full of the confidence of a strong man.
As Bai Luo walked in, Eric smiled and said, 'Long time no see, Bai.'
Before Bai Luo could respond, the ever-smiling Lorna spoke up, 'Guess which one is your real fiancée?'
'With things being like this, do I even need to guess?' Bai Luo replied somewhat speechless. 'Raven Darkholme—long time no see.'"
Then his gaze turned to Lorna. "Ah, my fiancée, a day apart feels like three autumns."
Lorna's eyebrows raised, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Magneto chuckled and said, "Is that an Eastern proverb?"
"Of course," Bai Luo nodded, finally looking at Magneto, who was seated in the main position. "Look at my fiancée's expression; she didn't come here willingly."
Magneto replied, "Of course, but Bai Luo, I must remind you that although you proposed the engagement twenty years ago in Kansas City, I have yet to give my consent— in other words, Lorna is not your fiancée."
Bai Luo smiled slyly and said, "I never really intended to seek your opinion."
With that, he pulled over a chair and sat down. "So, what do you want from me?"
