Clow Card Magician in Marvel.

Chapter 223 The World in Dreams

The vision in front of me gradually became clear.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Inside the dessert shop, the customers outside the cash register were looking at Su Heng, who had just woken up, with some impatience.

"Sorry." Out of instinct, Su Heng calculated the prices of the scattered desserts in front of him at a glance.

"Fifty-two dollars. Just give fifty dollars."

Su Heng nodded towards the customer.

"Please help me pack it up." The customer took out the money and said to Su Heng.

"Hold on."

Su Heng skillfully picked up the paper bag on the right and put the desserts into it one by one.

By the time Su Heng handed the paper bag containing the desserts to the customer, before he could even catch his breath, customers who were lining up behind him placed the desserts on their trays in front of Su Heng again.

"Let's settle the bill, boss."

Su Heng, who had been busy collecting money, packing and giving change, finally had some relief when the setting sun fell into the dessert shop.

He looked at the last customer who had walked out of the dessert shop and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, there's no one here." In the guest area, Gwen stuffed all the garbage into the trash can and placed the towel used to wipe the table on the railing.

"Manager, I can't take it anymore!" Gwen complained to Su Heng, "I have to take a day off tomorrow and have a good rest at home."

"."

Su Heng looked at Gwen in front of him, his expression was slightly stunned, but then his expression returned to its gentle state.

"Okay."

"Wow, that's rare." Gwen, who was originally just complaining, looked particularly surprised after hearing Su Heng's reply.

"Manager, are you sure you want to give me a day off tomorrow?" Gwen asked Su Heng again in disbelief.

"It's just one day off, just take a good rest." Su Heng nodded nonchalantly.

But after getting Su Heng's exact answer, the expression on Gwen's face gradually changed from suspicion to ecstasy.

She ran excitedly to the food delivery area, squatted down and shouted loudly to the person coming out of the bakery.

"Did you hear that, Sister Gan? The store manager is going to give me a day off tomorrow!"

"What?!" There was a series of banging sounds in the baking room, as if some metal tool had fallen to the ground.

As the door of the bakery was opened, a white figure jumped out from a cloud of white dust.

"Cough, cough, cough!" The figure coughed twice, patted the flour off his body, and protested loudly to Su Heng in front of him.

“I want a holiday too!!!”

Su Heng looked at the figure in front of him, and the man's name emerged in his mind.

甘。

Su Heng is the chief dessert chef in this dessert shop. She is responsible for making all the desserts in the shop.

But for some reason, after seeing Gan for the first time, Su Heng always imagined her in his mind as an elf the size of a thumb, with fluttering wings and a magic wand in her hand.

Su Heng's expression froze again. He looked at Gan in front of him who was protesting, but he uttered some words of rejection very skillfully.

"That won't do. You are the chief pastry chef of our store. If you take a leave, who will sell the desserts tomorrow?"

"You're so annoying!" Gan slammed the table indignantly: "You can obviously make desserts yourself, why can't you let me take a day off!"

jingle--

Just as Gan was protesting angrily, the door of the dessert shop was slowly opened and a nonchalant-looking figure walked in from outside.

"I'm sorry, sir, we have already..."

Gwen, who was watching Gan Pai and Su Heng quarreling with a smile on her face, wanted to tell the customer that the dessert shop was closed, but after seeing who was coming, she suddenly stopped talking.

"Ah, so it's Mr. Stark?"

"Yo." Tony took off his sunglasses, greeted Gwen, and then looked curiously at Su Heng and Gan who were confronting each other.

"So what happened to the two of them?"

"They were arguing." Gwen said gloatingly, "Because Sister Gan wanted to take a vacation, but the manager didn't approve it."

"Is that so?" Tony nodded in understanding, then approached the two men with a look on his face that asked for a beating.

"I've told you before, you might as well come work for me." Tony joked to Gan, "At least at Stark Industries, you only have to make desserts for me and Pepper, and whether it's break time or salary, it will definitely be much better than this crappy shop."

"Tony, you guy." Su Heng glanced at Tony with his eyes slanted.

"Why are you poaching employees from my store instead of looking for your cover girl?"

"I'm tired of eating lobster and abalone, so I want to have some dessert to relieve the greasiness?" Tony shrugged and smiled at Gan and continued, "So you want to come?"

"No." Gan snorted twice: "I am just a small pastry chef, I can't climb up to the big tree of Stark Industries. It's better for me to stay in the store and eat and wait for death."

"Tsk." After hearing what Gan said, Tony didn't show any surprise on his face. After all, he had said this to Gan many times, but Gan gave the same answer every time.

"I really envy you." Tony looked at Su Heng with some jealousy: "To have such a good employee."

"Of course not." Su Heng was quite pleased with himself.

"If everything is ok, I'll go back to the bakery first." Gan glanced at Su Heng, hiding the emotions in his eyes, pretending to be indifferent and said to everyone: "I still have to clean up the things I scattered in the bakery."

"Go ahead." Su Heng waved at Gan, then turned his gaze back to the lazy Tony.

"So why do you have the time to come to me today?"

"Didn't I tell you? Come and have some dessert." Tony shrugged.

"But now the desserts in our store are sold out, you should be able to see that." Su Heng ruthlessly exposed Tony's lie.

"Well, actually it's my old man." Tony finally confessed helplessly.

"Had you quarreled with Mr. Howard again?" Su Heng asked as if he was not surprised.

"Uh-huh." Tony nodded.

"That stinky old man, he only knows how to attack my information all day long, even though there is nothing wrong with my creativity!"

Su Heng looked at Tony who was chattering on and on and shook his head helplessly.

Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries.

Tony has been famous since he was young, and this should be the most ambitious period for him. However, in Stark Industries, there is still a huge mountain weighing on his head.

Howard Stark, founder and chairman of Stark Industries.

Also Tony's father.

Perhaps due to his age, every decision made and every invention launched by the once frivolous Howard Stark is now full of the maturity and stability of an old man.

However, this is exactly what constrains Tony, whose thinking is currently in a breakaway stage.

"So, which of your inventions was rejected by Mr. Howard again?" Su Heng guessed at a glance why Tony came to complain and asked Tony directly.

"Didn't I get attacked in the Middle East before?" Tony said to Su Heng.

"uh-huh."

Su Heng naturally had some impression of this.

All I can say is that Tony was lucky enough to be found by the self-defense patrol robot deployed by Howard before he was about to be killed.

But during the time of imprisonment, out of desire for life, Tony built a scaled-down version of Stark Industries' current Ark Reactor in that cave, as well as half a set of Iron Man armor that had not yet been successfully completed.

At this time Tony suddenly brought up this matter.

Su Heng had some ideas in his mind.

"So you wouldn't be"

"That's right. After I came back, I started to upgrade and modify the Iron Man armor." Tony said dejectedly.

"Just yesterday, when I showed the old men the Mark II armor I created, they said I was not doing my job properly."

"Especially my mother who had always stood by me. She actually said that my Mark II armor looked like a silver devil. This was disrespectful to the Lord and asked me to destroy it immediately."

"Damn it Lord, sooner or later I will use missiles to blow up the holy land of these guys! Let's see if their Lord can bring judgment on me!"

Tony said indignantly.

Su Heng looked at Tony with a sympathetic expression.

No wonder this guy holds such a grudge.

After all, when Tony was scolded by Mr. Howard, Ms. Maria would at least speak up for Tony and comfort him.

But in today's situation, Tony was mostly alone in the midst of being scolded by both his parents.

"Or maybe it would be better if you change the color of your armor." For some reason, a picture emerged in Su Heng's mind.

"For example, change the silver color of your armor to a softer gold and red rendering?"

"Hmm." Tony frowned, took out a tablet from behind him, and called up the three-dimensional model of the armor.

"You mean like this?" Tony felt a little disgusted by the red on top and gold on the bottom.

"No, no, no, it should be said like this." Relying on the image in his mind, Su Heng took the tablet and readjusted the color of the armor.

"Cool!" Tony couldn't help but whistle and praised sincerely as he looked at the new armor displayed on the tablet.

"I didn't expect you to have such artistic talent. This one does look much better than the previous silver devil look."

"This." After Su Heng successfully matched the color of the iron armor, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

This was clearly a product that popped out of his mind, but for some reason, Su Heng always felt that he had seen this set of armor somewhere before.

In other words, he actually felt in his mind that he must have seen other armors that were more sophisticated than the one in Tony's tablet.

Could it be that he is an armor designer who has been hiding for many years?
Su Heng touched his chin and thought this somewhat unrealistically.

"This plan looks good. I'll accept it." Tony took back the tablet. "If I have time, I'll ask Pepper to send you the design fee."

"That's not necessary. Your armor probably won't be released to the public anyway, right?" Su Heng raised his eyebrows at Tony.

"Hmph!" Tony snorted coldly.

"Who said there is no way? I have hands and feet. Even if the old man doesn't allow me, can't I make it myself?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unlucky things." Tony shook his head and said to Su Heng and Gwen who was cleaning nearby.

"By the way, are you guys free in the next two days?"

"Tell me what you are doing first?" Su Heng looked at Tony warily.

"If it's another cocktail party or dance, don't invite us to go."

These things were really too noisy for Su Heng and Gwen.

"Of course not." Tony placed the tablet in front of Su Heng again, but this time the tablet no longer contained the design drawing of the armor, but a notice.

This is a notice that a musical troupe is about to arrive in New York to begin a performance lasting half a month.

Among all these, what Su Heng was more concerned about was the names and appearances of the actors in this song and dance troupe.
Mirror, song, voice, flower, double, jump, drive, fly.
They are all named with single words. In addition to humans, there are also several strange-looking animals.

There was that strange sense of déjà vu again. It was clearly the first time he saw them, but Su Heng felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"The Kuro Dance Troupe is a dance troupe that has become famous all over the world. It is said that each actor has different abilities."

"If you're free, maybe I can buy you some front row VIP tickets, so we can go and relax and watch the show?"

"Well?" Su Heng hesitated.

If it were his usual personality, he would usually stay away from this kind of performance, but for this performance, Su Heng felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

There was a voice in his heart that drove him to agree to Tony.

"Then I'll take care of it." Su Heng nodded towards Tony.

"Okay, in that case, you, Gwen, and Gan, plus Pepper, and me, that's a total of five tickets." Tony counted.

"I'll have Pepper buy the tickets right away."

"Thank you." Su Heng watched Tony start to contact Pepper, then lowered his head and started playing with the tablet that Tony placed on the table.

On the browser interface, several important news recently published by the Bugle Daily caught Su Heng's attention.

"Famous scientist Bruce Banner successfully developed a device to control gamma rays"

"Osborne Group Chief Scientist, Professor Connors successfully developed a machine to treat genetic diseases"

"Hammer Industries' chief scientist, Dr. Otto, has successfully developed a new type of clean energy using the element helium. The days of Stark Industries being the only dominant power will eventually become a thing of the past."

"Genius scientist Reed Richards successfully brought his crew back to Earth from space, and is said to have a new research direction on cosmic rays."
