Chapter 134 Invite Martin Lee

A beautiful woman with a mouth full of magic who disappears into the smoke.

And a living one, existing in the World War II Heroes Memorial Hall in New York City, looks exactly like the heroic sculpture in the center of a certain exhibition hall - no, Stephen's grades in history class are not bad, so he is very sure.

This is the hero who should have lived seventy years ago.

Stephen sat down directly in a daze, and even took a sip with Steve without realizing it.

He seemed to have completely forgotten his own self-cultivation, and smashed the wine stuck to his lips.

It wasn't until half a minute later that Stephen shivered and came back to his senses.

"You, you are Captain America?"

Steve gave him a strange look and shook his head.

"There is no Captain America in this society now. I am just an ordinary person named Steve Rogers."

Oh wait.

'I have an intuition at tonight's party that all the guests present, except for the Victory Commandos themselves, any ordinary person present will be added to our regular observation list. ’

"Terry Lee, as early as the first time I met him, I always felt that there was something about this kid that attracted me. Fortunately, I came here today, otherwise I would have seen so many things that break common sense. There are no second chances.”

‘After all, this kid always pays great attention to ordinary personal belongings worn by some not-so-ordinary people. ’

Steve raised his head and took a sip of his wine. The other person's words reminded him of Nick's evaluation of Terry.

"Wars are not won by one or two people."

"Don't say that. Without you, we would hardly have such a stable living environment now."

"No one is ordinary, and one day you might break common sense."

Steve shook his head again and denied Stephen's statement.

‘Furthermore, this kid’s eyesight is very strange. Judging from Clint’s contact with him and a series of other events, he has an amazing ability to detect unusual potential in ordinary people and things. ’

Stephen was smart enough not to insist anymore, because he noticed that the other party seemed unhappy about repeatedly mentioning this matter.

‘They can be added to the invitation list by Terry. In a sense, they are very likely to contain some kind of hidden potential. ’

So Stephen decided to change the subject.

Stephen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand.

No one knows himself better than himself.

"If you are planning to give a gift, just look for it among your more precious personal belongings. That kid has a weird collecting habit that is outrageous."

‘This kid is not just a genius who can come up with a device to resurrect you, he may have more secrets than the icebergs hidden under the sea. ’

He glanced at Terry, who had been dragged over by Peter to play games, and seemed a little emotional.

After finishing his recollection, Steve glanced at Strange and smiled.

Clint, who was leaning against the wall at the time, nodded sympathetically and gave Steve a suggestion.

In addition to possessing some outstanding talents in his professional profession, Stephen Strange is undoubtedly an ordinary New York surgeon.

Stephen turned around and stared inexplicably at Peter and Danny, who were playing game consoles enthusiastically, and Clint, who was obviously an adult but was enjoying hanging out in the underage group.

There must be something wrong with these three people!

His curiosity surged again. After nodding towards Steve to express a brief farewell, he raised the bottle and planned to walk over to join in the fun and see if he could dig out any more exciting events.

Just when Stephen stood up and was about to take action, assistant Charlot, who had been waiting with a smile on his face, came over and said softly to Terry.

"The surprise Mr. Martin has prepared for you has arrived."

"Hey! Really?"

Terry turned around with a face of surprise, and the dropped handle was quickly picked up by Clint, who had quick eyes and quick hands. He excitedly wanted to compete with Peter and the others again, but was unanimously disliked by Peter and Danny.

"You're such a noob, Clint."

"Yeah, no challenge at all."

"Fart! I just let it go. Look, I'll beat the shit out of you two!" Clint blushed, waving the handle and yelled.

Just when Clint chose a character and prepared to kill everyone regardless of their contempt, Terry gently took the controller back.

"Sorry, I have to take up a moment."

Then the game interface on the projection screen was switched, and assistant Charlot took out a tablet and put a video call on it simultaneously.

A burst of noise came from the stereo installed in the living room.

This is a blessing video that was recorded in advance.

Stephen suppressed his strong and restless curiosity for the time being, and followed everyone to quietly watch the kind-faced middle-aged man in the video.

Martin Lee seemed to be in a more solemn environment, but the sounds of many people talking could be heard in the speakers.

"Happy birthday, Terry. From today on, you are an adult who needs to be on your own."

Martin's eyes were extremely gentle, full of doting.

"It's... so fast. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I remember the first time I met you, it was just after the New Year. I had just opened a daily necessities processing factory in Fujian. When I came back, I heard My brother said I have a nephew."

"I remember at that time you were—"

Someone outside the video took Martin Lee's cell phone, and the latter gestured with his hand and smiled.

"so small."

Martin seemed to be lost in memories, and occasionally his face was a little depressed, but it quickly became gentle and happy.

"Later, I continued to go out on business and was too busy. I didn't come back to celebrate the New Year for three consecutive years. When I saw you again, you could already walk and talk.

At that time, my business was in a slump and I was depressed all the time, but you held my finger and told me while crying that your parents didn't have time to play with you.

I will take you up the mountain to pick wild persimmons. I will hold you in one hand, hold the bamboo pole in the other, and kick the basket with my feet. "

Martin Lee leaned back, as if he didn't want the camera to capture anything, but his voice was still calm and smiling.

"There was a big basket of wild persimmons. You secretly nibbled one before they were ripe. As a result, you cried bitterly for a long time, and your mouth was drooling while crying.

Hahaha, I told you at that time that persimmons need to be frosted to taste delicious, so you urged me to take the basket of persimmons and spread them out on the roof of the bungalow to dry them.

On the frosty night, I left quietly again. I was always dissatisfied with the failure of my business. My family did not allow me to go abroad, so I took advantage of that night to leave secretly. "

Martin pursed his lips.

"I didn't eat any of those persimmons, but when I came back a few years later and found you covered in frostbite under that persimmon tree, the first thing you did when you raised your head was to tell me that those persimmons were really delicious. tasty."

Assistant Charlotte opened the door at some point, and the previously ordered meals had just arrived. A group of waiters filed in and placed the covered dinner plates on the dining table in the living room.

Then, a man in black clothes who was different from the waiters walked in. He also held a dinner plate in his hand, walked straight to Terry, and opened the lid.

In the center of the plate, a rock sugar persimmon lay quietly.

At the same time, in the video recorded by Martin Lee, the perfectly timed words sounded simultaneously.

"Life is like this, Terry, you have to endure hardships before you can be as sweet as honey in the future.

However, since I am your elder, I will take it upon myself to help you eat the bitter part first - I hope that your future life will always be as sweet as honey. "

Following the rock candy persimmon that was handed to Terry, there was also a thick paper document that Charlot took out from somewhere.

"This is part of Mr. Martin's industrial transfer contract. Also, he said that he hopes you will watch the replay of today's XX channel."

In the video, Martin's final words were heard.

"I'm very happy to hear Charlotte say that you invited many friends. I have only two dreams in my life. One is to get ahead in the United States, and the other is for you to be healthy and happy forever."

Martin shrugged, took the phone handed over by the person outside the video, and smiled boldly with his eyes narrowed.

"I know you young people don't watch TV programs that are all about news, but I hope you can watch the replays. The edited ones are not so long and complicated - I have done the first one. Starting today, we Let’s complete the second item together.”

In the video, a voice-over amplified by a loudspeaker came.

"Now, let me invite New York City's new Chinese entrepreneur, Martin Lee, to take the stage!"
