"Oh! What a surprise!"
Colonel Philip's old face was nearly beaming with joy; he had never expected such a significant haul this time!
Looking at the various new weapons, armored vehicles, and tanks that had arrived at the camp, his eyes sparkled with excitement, his face flushed like that of a woman seeing Red Fruit.
This time, not only were there massive war machines, but also numerous blueprints for conventional weapons, and even schematics for submarines. This was undoubtedly the key to turning the tide of the war.
"I must commend you all, my warriors!" Philip shouted excitedly.
Unfortunately, he was unaware that the truly valuable items had already been tucked away by Ye Kai. He didn't think much of these inferior goods.
However, for the military now gathered with so many scientific geniuses, if they combined their research capabilities using these as a foundation, there was indeed a chance to create terrifying weapons that could surpass this era by decades or even centuries.
"I just wanted to provoke these scientific madmen; otherwise, who would bother with you!"
Ye Kai muttered with a smirk, "Your warriors? More like your nonsense... Ugh..."
With an expression of displeasure, he stopped listening to Colonel Philip's subsequent ramblings and headed straight toward Howard with his team.
What he wanted most right now was an aircraft similar to the ones possessed by S.H.I.E.L.D., so for a long while ahead, he would still need this playboy!
With so many advanced scientific concepts and such a plethora of scientific enthusiasts, it surely wouldn't take too long to construct something with the full machinery of the nation behind it!
Once he had that thing, entering other Dimensions would no longer be such a hassle; at least he wouldn't have to worry about ground troops.
He certainly did not want to fly on any more planes in this world, especially those of the Allies—they were simply dreadful!
The last plane flown by Schmidt was somewhat reliable, but it wasn't great either; in Ye Kai's eyes, it was far too rudimentary.
Only that kind of Aircraft Carrier is the best choice at this stage. As for other planes and trains, they can roll as far away as possible.
Howard, the playboy, was already impatient to stay here. There were no beautiful women, no fine wine, and on top of that, a bunch of sweaty soldiers making a racket nearby—enough was enough!
If it weren't for Ye Kai being here too, he would have left long ago.
"Let's go!"
Seeing Howard again, Ye Kai couldn't hold back his emotions and rolled his eyes at him, half-jokingly complaining, "I will never fly on a plane you pilot again. No, wait, I think I should say I will never fly on any plane again. It's just too unsafe."
Howard never took such complaints seriously. Instead, he wore a cheeky grin and asked teasingly, "You better not empty out Schmidt's secret research base and end up with just this piece of junk, heh heh..."
"Damn it!"
Ye Kai felt frustrated; he knew he couldn't hide anything from this jerk. He pretended to be angry and said, "Get lost! That was earned through life-and-death experiences and countless dangers. There's no way I'm giving it away for free!"
"Come on, it's just the two of us here. Why are you pretending?"
Howard didn't believe him at all and sneered quietly, "Hurry up and bring out some of it so we can gather people to develop good weapons and equipment. This is all about money! Don't forget you're still a shareholder in Stark Industries!"
Looking at Ye Kai's unwilling expression, he continued to tempt him, "Think about it—given my skills and all those scientific geniuses we have, plus the advanced technology samples in your hands, getting a better plane shouldn't be too difficult!"
"You annoying bastard..." Ye Kai pretended to hesitate for a moment before suddenly blurting out that phrase and then took off running.
"Bastard! Don't run!!!"
Howard froze for two seconds before his face turned beet red as he shouted furiously, "Ye! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"Don't run, you idiot!" Ye Kai turned around and made a face.
"Just wait for me!"
"Can't catch me, you angry monkey!"
"Bastard!"
...
Why was this foolish playboy so angry? It was because of his nature; he was practically a friend to all women. No matter their age, if he found someone attractive, he would flirt with them.
So, one night after getting drunk, just as he was about to hit on a rather 'charming' 'noblewoman,' Ye Kai overheard the 'woman' let out a soft sigh and hoarsely say, "You teasing little brat, even though I prefer muscular men..."
Howard, who was still in a drunken haze, immediately reacted as if he had seen a ghost. He jumped back in shock, crashing into people and causing chaos as he stumbled away.
If it weren't for Ye Kai stepping in at the last moment, that furious crowd would have surely beaten him up. Even the 'Strange Man' in red high heels and a red backless dress would have taken action against him.
From that day on, this not-so-secret secret became Ye Kai's ultimate weapon against Howard.
The two of them continued their playful antics, accompanied by a large group of elites and many researchers, swaggering toward the laboratory in the back.
Although this place wasn't equipped as well as Howard's estate in the suburbs of New York or Yu Jun's well-furnished Brooklyn Antique Shop, at least it was spacious.
After several warehouses were broken through by this group of ruffians, they were completely connected to form a massive experimental and Operations Command Center.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Kai lost his composure. He directly asked, "Choosing a cutting-edge weapons lab as the Operations Command Center? Has the commander of your alliance been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
"What's wrong with you? This is my suggestion!"
Howard still didn't want to deal with Ye Kai, so he replied with a displeased expression, "And by the way, this place is very safe!!!"
"Safe my ass!"
Ye Kai looked at him as if he were crazy and retorted, "Do you even know what weapon I brought? Do you have any idea how powerful it is? You dare to make such suggestions without knowing anything?"
Seeing Howard's indignation as he tried to argue back, Ye Kai continued to provoke him with a disdainful expression, adding, "If you knew that this thing could blow up, and that no one here would survive, would you still be so calm?"
Upon hearing this, Howard was taken aback, and after a moment, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed Ye Kai by the collar, shouting, "You bastard! I knew you had something good. Hurry up and show me!"
Hey, hey, hey!
That's not the point!
Shouldn't you be focusing on the real issue here?
