American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 685 Christmas Mutual Benefit
Merry Christmas!

With Christmas approaching, Mike's villa became exceptionally lively.

Because of Quicksilver and Hit-Girl, Mike was able to invite a group of street heroes, including Big Daddy, to come and celebrate Christmas together.

Apart from the Punisher, who was all alone, most of the others brought their families with them.

Spider-Man is accompanied by Aunt May, Big Daddy, and Hit-Girl.

Deadpool brought his wife, while Ant-Man Scott brought his young daughter.

It's worth mentioning that this little girl isn't much older than Hit-Girl, and the two get along very well.

Even Daredevil, with his roguish appearance, brought along his friend and partner, Nelson.

As it turns out, apart from the Punisher being a true "Avenger," the other street heroes all have their own lives.

With Mike having plenty of money, the Christmas tree in the villa's hall was piled high with gift boxes to entertain guests.

There are very practical everyday gifts, as well as expensive luxury items.

Which one you get depends entirely on luck.

It was a little surprise for Christmas.

"OMG!!! It's a gold watch, a gold watch!"

"Guardian, I love you to death!!!"

"..."

After Deadpool accidentally unearthed a Tissot gold watch, his distinctive shouts instantly filled the room.

A mixture of surprise and pride.

Afterwards, he put on a gold watch and showed it off to everyone, not even sparing a kid like Chloe Grace Moretz.

All I can say is that Deadpool, with his overflowing chatterbox nature, has a unique talent for creating a lively atmosphere.

"Vanessa, just tell me what gift you want. I'll open it for you!"

Having satisfied his desire to show off, Deadpool finally returned to his wife's side, his pride tinged with tenderness.

"I'm fine with anything~" Vanessa smiled as she watched her husband goofing around.

After proper treatment, her complexion is now no different from that of a normal person.

It's clear she's a very intellectual woman.

"Oh, everyone's here. Luckily I was well-prepared..."

Accompanied by the sound, Tony, with the air of a wealthy man, ostentatiously walked into the villa.

He was accompanied by Pepper and Colonel Rhodes.

The three of them were carrying a large number of gifts.

Clearly, Tony was prepared and knew that the street heroes were gathered here for Christmas.

The gift he brought was a way of thanking the street heroes for their help during the previous terrorist attacks.

This shows that Tony is never stingy with his friends.

As for the other little guy who had been a great help, Tony had already sent a gift to Tennessee before he arrived.

An exquisite crystal ball, and a life-size toy suit of armor.

Why are they toy armors?

This is because Harry is still too young, and Tony is afraid that he won't be able to handle him.

When the recipient is older, perhaps they will receive a real Iron Man suit.

Then came the Christmas feast. With the help of ladies like Vanessa and Pepper, Scarlet Witch quickly prepared a Christmas turkey and various festive delicacies for everyone.

There are double gifts to receive and a sumptuous meal to enjoy.

The festive atmosphere inside the villa was exceptionally strong.

"What are your plans for the new year?" After finishing his meal, Mike chatted with the street heroes while drinking beer.

As for the women and children, the Scarlet Witch led them to the television to watch the Christmas party.

"What else can I do but continue punishing the bad guys and, at the same time, squeeze some more money out of them to spend," Deadpool said nonchalantly.

Aside from receiving some funds from Tony, the Street Heroes Mutual Aid Association's main source of income comes from taking money from gangsters while fighting them.

This was clearly not a long-term solution. With the continued efforts of the mutual aid society members, the gangsters in the Hell's Kitchen area had been almost completely wiped out.

With the remaining minor leaders being watched by the street heroes, they probably wouldn't dare to make any big moves.

In other words, if the street heroes want to continue to develop, they will inevitably have to expand their sphere of influence.

As a result, the influence of the Street Heroes Mutual Aid Association will inevitably expand.

It's just a small-scale operation in Hell's Kitchen; the higher-ups probably won't care.

But if these street heroes continue to expand their influence, their impact will inevitably turn "bad," and then someone will eventually have to intervene.

Even with Tony's considerable influence, he probably can't protect the street heroes more than a few times.

Therefore, for sustainable development, street heroes need to find another stable job.

Ideally, it should be something that can be presented in a respectable manner.

After all, apart from "lone wolves" like the Punisher, other street heroes all have families to support.

"I have an idea, maybe you can consider it." Seeing the street heroes deep in thought, Mike called over Scarlet Witch.

Scarlet Witch's business of helping Mike promote his fame and sell merchandise is now taking shape, but they are short-handed.

Then, at Mike's prompting, Scarlet Witch revealed her plan to start a merchandise company.

“That’s a great idea. I can provide you with a factory to produce the merchandise, and I can also help with the sales channels,” Tony responded.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

With Mike and Tony's combined funds, they could easily fund these street heroes.

However, as the saying goes, it's obviously better to give street heroes a way to make a living than to just give them money.

Tony undoubtedly understood Mike's plan.

"I can work as a salesperson at a nearby company." The penniless little spider was clearly very interested in the new job.

He had originally planned to take odd jobs next year to supplement his family's income and reduce the burden on Aunt Mei.

Now that I have a formal job, not only can Aunt Mei rest assured, but my income will also be more stable.

And you don't have to worry about being bullied by your boss.

“Count me in. I can go to the factory and help produce that thing called peripherals,” Deadpool then stated.

There's nothing I can do; he's broke too.

Later, Ant-Man and Quicksilver also chose to join.

One of them was short of money to raise his daughter, and the other was because his sister was the Scarlet Witch.

Surprisingly, the Punisher, who had always been a man of few words, and Big Daddy, who was never short of money, also eventually chose to follow the trend and join Scarlet Witch's company.

"Am I the only one left?" The blind Daredevil looked around and said, "The contract and company-related procedures can be left to me and my partner."

Great, none of them escaped, and Nelson was also drafted.

"Well, I might be able to lend a hand. I can handle the official connections," Colonel Rhodes then offered, demonstrating his own value.

As someone who can speak to the president at any time, they can serve as a "protective umbrella" for the new company.

It's worth mentioning that Killian never showed his face during the entire kidnapping of the president.

Therefore, the other officials in the White House were unaware that the president's life had been threatened.

Considering the previous terrorist attacks, the president escaped unharmed.

Therefore, there was no intention to hold Colonel Rhodes accountable for his crimes.

In addition, after the previous incident, Tony also promised to help Rhodes develop a new suit of armor that would suit him personally.

This project will be tentatively named the "Killing Machine" series.

It could be said that Rhodes, who turned misfortune into blessing, is now the most complacent person among them.

Therefore, in return, he was happy to do something that would benefit the street heroes.

With this, Scarlet Witch's new company was settled, and the street heroes had a stable job.
