This time, Zhou Cheng didn't try to swindle Wade Wilson like the old lady next door.
He paid him the exact amount agreed upon, not a penny less.
"Keep me updated, Zhou!"
Wade Wilson, now flush with cash, practically skipped as he waved goodbye to Zhou Cheng and hurried away.
"Zhou, it's done!"
It had to be said, Wade Wilson might seem a bit unreliable, but he was actually pretty competent.
Before nightfall, he was already back in contact with Zhou Cheng.
"I've accepted the commission in your name."
"The client also paid a twenty percent advance, which I've deposited into a secure, anonymous account."
"I'll transfer that account to you later, but you'll have to reimburse me for the fees!"
Twenty percent? That's two hundred thousand dollars! This money came easy, didn't it?
Zhou Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
But not just anyone has the ability to get this kind of money.
Whoever is behind the bounty on Satan's head, if someone takes this two hundred thousand and doesn't deliver, the consequences will be extremely severe.
Of course…
That's for ordinary people.
Zhou Cheng, with his cheat-level abilities, could naturally act a bit more unrestrained and arrogant.
From start to finish, his plan was to take advantage of the situation!
He'd accept the bounty to kill Satan, collect the payment, and then eliminate the target.
He'd get paid and get rid of a hidden enemy, a perfect outcome.
Two birds with one stone.
"Understood."
While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhou Cheng responded calmly.
"Right, besides killing Satan, they also made another request."
"If you kill Daredevil too, they'll double the offer."
Wade Wilson added.
Daredevil?
Zhou Cheng's eyebrows slightly raised.
To want to kill both him and Daredevil at the same time, the other party's appetite was quite large.
It also further confirmed that the person behind the scenes was indeed from Hell's Kitchen.
However, killing Daredevil was something Zhou Cheng wouldn't even consider.
He did want to make money, but he still had his own bottom line.
"Let's put Daredevil's request on hold for now."
"We'll deal with that after Satan's request is finished."
Zhou Cheng immediately said to Wade Wilson.
"OK, sounds good for now."
"Keep your phone on, I'll be in touch."
"Don't you go dying on me! I'm counting on you."
"Beep… beep… beep…"
He ended the call with Wade Wilson.
Zhou Cheng acted as if nothing had happened, raising his hand to press the TV remote.
He turned the volume up to a normal level and began to watch the American drama with great interest.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
And for Zhou Cheng, that was indeed the case.
He only needed to go to Hell's Kitchen in a few days and take down the guy who had put a bounty on his head.
It was really nothing much.
For the rest of the time, Zhou Cheng would do whatever he wanted, just waiting for good news from Stark.
The next day.
Malibu's luxurious villa, the basement.
Tony Stark stood in the middle of the spacious hall.
Like a conductor, he raised his hands repeatedly, gesturing incessantly.
Around Tony Stark, numerous digital projections were suspended. They flickered with all sorts of data, model diagrams, structural charts, and the like.
Enough to make any outsider's head spin.
Tony Stark, however, was enjoying himself immensely.
Those data, those curves, those formulas, were the most beautiful notes in his eyes.
Tony Stark casually tapped on the digital projections, performing the necessary operations.
Soon.
"Model rendering successful!"
A prompt sounded in his ear.
"Sir, you've succeeded. The Arc Reactor has been successfully miniaturized."
"You've accomplished what Mr. Howard never could."
The thoughtful AI, Jarvis, immediately sent a congratulatory message.
"Yes, I did."
Tony Stark was in a great mood, staring at the projection in front of him, his eyes full of light.
He had already mastered the core energy source, and the subsequent armor design was, in Tony Stark's eyes, not worth mentioning.
The technology involved wasn't comparable to the Arc Reactor at all; he, Tony, could just tinker with it and get it done.
He believed that the Iron Man Armor would be unveiled soon.
Thinking of the kidnapping he was about to experience, and then the Winter Soldier, Tony Stark felt a bit more confident.
"Why are you still here?"
"Your plane should have taken off an hour ago!"
He was enjoying his masterpiece when Pepper Potts's hurried figure appeared.
The other person stared directly at Tony Stark and questioned him.
"Since it's my plane, shouldn't it wait for me to arrive before taking off, right?"
Tony Stark replied matter-of-factly, turning around gracefully as he spoke.
He instinctively glanced at Pepper Potts, and his thoughts began to drift.
As expected of the woman who could handle him, Tony thought to himself, appreciating her beauty, her figure, and her overall demeanor.
Big Tony became more and more satisfied the more he looked.
He just didn't know when Pepper would finally take that leap with her boss?
Whenever it was, Big Tony was very much looking forward to that moment!
Zhou Cheng even started to fantasize about that kind of scene in his mind.
???
What expression was on Tony's face?
Pepper Potts, who was sitting across from Tony Stark, immediately sensed something was off.
What was with her boss's gaze? It seemed a little… strange?
But this wasn't the time to dwell on it. Pepper Potts had a mountain of things to handle.
Pepper Potts then continued to discuss work with Tony Stark in a brisk and efficient manner.
She even teased and was teased by her own boss a bit.
She skillfully handled Tony Stark, her difficult boss, and got things done.
Tony Stark temporarily stopped his work and set off with his luxurious bodyguard team.
He met up with Colonel Rhodes, who had been waiting at the airport for a full three hours.
"What's wrong with you?"
Colonel Rhodes' face was completely dark. "You made me wait for you like an idiot for three hours."
"Interview with Vanity Fair, couldn't get away."
Tony Stark's lies came easily.
"Also, why did you bring so many bodyguards?"
Rhodes took off his sunglasses again and glanced at the bodyguard team following Tony Stark.
"Come on, who am I? What if someone tries to kidnap me?"
Tony Stark said, half serious, half joking.
"When did you start caring about that?"
Rhodes gave Tony Stark a strange look, then waved his hand. "Let them stay. Today will be your safest day."
The trip to Afghanistan, so many military bigwigs were there, and there were soldiers in the entourage for protection.
With such a formation, it would be strange if something went wrong.
