American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 200: You Shouldn't Count on Pietro
Tony Stark was relieved to see that Pietro was willing to sit down and have a good talk.

The worst did not happen.

At least Pietro was willing to communicate.

Tony's face was serious, and under the colorful ambient lights, he began to introduce his origins.

"I come from the year 2023. The Avengers experienced an unprecedented defeat, and half of the creatures in the universe died at the hands of Thanos."

Hearing this, Pietro interrupted impatiently: "What is coming from 2023? I am not interested in these, and I don't want to save the world. I don't want to hear about these troubles at all."

"If you're looking for my help, I can only say in advance that I can't help you."

Seeing Pietro's face full of resistance, Tony frowned and persuaded in a different way: "I just want to ask you for a small favor. It's a simple thing for you."

Pietro was a little more patient and asked, "What can I do for you? Tell me first."

Fearing that the boy would lose his patience, Tony quickly said, "I would like to ask you to lend us the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Staff temporarily, just for one second!"

Pietro looked puzzled: "The Cosmic Cube and the Psychic Scepter? What kind of precious treasures are these?"

"You want me to steal Carl's things? You've got the wrong guy!"

Tony's eyes were full of pleading, and he emphasized again: "We are just borrowing, not stealing. We will return it immediately after we have borrowed it. The whole process will not even take a second!"

"One second?" Pietro couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

Tony had no choice but to use simple and easy-to-understand language to quickly explain the principles of time travel.

After listening to the other party's popular science, Pietro still looked confused.

He has a low level of education and obviously cannot understand such profound principles of time travel.

But Pietro believes that Iron Man would not deceive himself.

But he had no confidence at all in stealing anything from Carl.

Therefore, he thought about it for a few seconds and politely rejected the other party's request.

"I really can't do this job. No one can steal things under Carl's nose, not even me. I really can't help."

Hearing that Pietro still refused, Tony had to try to play the sympathy card.

"That's half of the life in the entire universe, half of the living human life on Earth! Can you just bear to ignore it?"

"If you can get the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter, we can save half of all life in the universe!"

"Please think about it again for the sake of the lives of half of the innocent human beings."

"We just need to borrow it. For you, it may only take a blink of an eye for us to return the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Scepter."

"I guarantee it with the reputation of the Avengers. I will never lie to you. Please think about it carefully and help us. Please!"

After hearing Tony's heartfelt plea, Pietro struggled for a while, but still said with embarrassment:

"It's not that I don't want to help, but I really don't have the ability to do so!"

"Carl's telepathy is too sharp. I can't steal anything under his nose, unless..."

At this point, Pietro had an idea that might work.

Tony asked anxiously, "Unless what? Have you figured out a solution?"

Pietro raised his hand to tell him not to speak for the time being, and after thinking quietly for more than ten seconds, he slowly said:

"It's absolutely impossible to steal. I can only try to find a reasonable reason to borrow it."

Tony's eyes were full of expectation, and he asked, "Have you thought of a suitable reason?"

Pietro laughed dryly and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. It's hard to find a suitable reason."

The vicissitudes of life Tony was speechless. He thought this kid had come up with some good ideas.

Is this the result?

Pietro thought for several minutes, his mind was blank. All he could think of were the dancers in sexy uniforms. He couldn't think of any suitable reason at all.

Finally, Pietro shook his head, too lazy to think about it, and suggested: "Let's have fun for a night, maybe I can think of a suitable reason tomorrow, do you want to stay and play with us?"

What the hell is this time, and this kid is still thinking about having fun?

Tony was very upset, but now the task of "borrowing" the Infinity Stones was entirely up to Pietro.

No matter how unreliable Pietro's suggestion was, Tony still had to accommodate him.

So he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then let's relax for a while and let you think of a suitable reason."

"Remember, the hope of saving half of all life in the universe rests with you."

Finally, Tony emphasized it once again, lest Pietro forget his important responsibilities.

Pietro responded perfunctorily, and as he walked out of the room, he said, "The equipment in this room is broken. Let's go to another room and have fun!"

Tony Stark hesitated for a moment, but followed.

When the two walked into the new super VIP box, more than 30 dancers with different styles followed them into the box one after another.

Then, deafening dynamic music began to sound in the box, accompanied by the dancers' wild cheers.

"Everybody, cheer up~" "Wuhu~"

The next morning, more than a dozen naked dancers were lying on the dance floor of the box.

Various sexy uniforms, high-end stockings, and panties were scattered all over the floor.

Pietro even lay on a bunch of dancers and fell asleep.

After a night of fun, he was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

And in the box bathroom, poor Tony hid there for the whole night.

At this time, he was sitting on the toilet lid with his head tilted back, his eyes closed, and he was also asleep.

Tony used great willpower last night and firmly rejected all temptations from women. He managed to remain a chaste person and not betray Pepper.

As a good husband who is responsible for his family, you have to resist temptation.

But he also accompanied Pietro to dance until very late last night, and only fell asleep at around six in the morning.

Therefore, the silence in the box was not broken until around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Pietro woke up first, and he reached out casually. The soft touch gave him a shock.

But after the hangover, even with his extraordinary physique, he felt a headache and discomfort.

Therefore, he really didn't feel like having fun anymore, and he slowly got up, walked over the mountains and hills, and went to the bathroom.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, he saw Tony sleeping on the toilet seat in the cubicle.

Pietro curled his lips and sneered, "Tsk, is this what Iron Man is like? He just drank five bottles of vodka mixed with cocktails last night and he's drunk like this?"

Tony was awakened by the other party's loud ridicule. When he opened his eyes, he saw Pietro and was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he recalled the revelry of last night and said with regret: "I shouldn't have accompanied you to have fun last night. Now I can't face Pepper when I go back!"

Pietro walked into the cubicle and continued to laugh loudly: "I didn't expect that the famous Iron Man is also a housekeeper? Hahahaha"

"A real man should be like Karl, with red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside!"

Tony was speechless at Pietro's childish ridicule. He was already an old man in his forties, and even if he wanted to show off, he was powerless.

etc.
Tony suddenly remembered that he came here with something important, so why did he spend the whole night having fun with this guy?

He quickly stood up, shaking his legs to loosen up his stiff leg muscles, and asked, "Hey, have you thought of a suitable reason to borrow the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Stone?"

Pietro said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about that. Give me a few more days and I will definitely come up with a good reason."

Tony's heart sank when he heard such perfunctory words. This guy was too unreliable.

After he stretched his stiff body, he walked to the bathroom door, and while waiting for the other party to come out, he said carefully: "How about we go ask Wanda for help?"

Pietro walked out of the cubicle, glanced at Tony standing at the door, turned on the faucet in the sink, and replied expressionlessly while washing:
"You're overthinking it. She's busy practicing yoga and taking care of her beauty every day. How can she have the time to help you save the world?"

Tony's face darkened when he heard this. He felt that Pietro had no real intention of helping. He always made excuses, saying that he needed to think about this or that.

But now he needed help, so he had to follow Pietro out of the bathroom like a follower, asking relentlessly:

"You haven't asked Wanda, how do you know she's unwilling to help? Even if there's little hope."

At this time, the two of them just walked into the VIP box, and saw dancers lying all over the floor.

Tony didn't bother to continue persuading her, and hurriedly stopped at the door of the box. He put his hands to cover his eyes, turned around, and continued:
"As long as you ask, even if Wanda refuses, you can still think of other ways."

The dancers lying on the ground were awakened by the conversation of the two and got up one after another.

"Hey, Eve, that red bra in your hand is mine."

"Whatever, you might have to take it off later."

The noise of a group of beautiful women instantly drowned out Tony's voice.

Pietro sat carefree on the luxurious sofa in the box and waved to the group of beautiful girls, signaling them to come over and continue serving him.

Tony was standing at the door awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or go in.

It's not that he's shy, but he's mainly afraid that he won't be able to control himself after seeing something he shouldn't see.

"Hey! Pietro?"

Tony raised his voice, but got no response.

Apparently, this kid Pietro is entangled with a bunch of pink skeletons again.

Helplessly, he could only leave the box with disappointment, and Tony understood.

Expecting Pietro to help is a stupid idea!
At this moment, Tony walked down the stairs, preparing to leave the nightclub, and said depressedly:

"Hey, this guy can't be relied on. Looks like Scott Lang has to take the risk to steal the Cosmic Cube and the Mind Staff."

In fact, the solution is to let Ant-Man, who is best at stealing things, go to the Umbrella base to steal the Infinity Stones.

Tony and the others discussed this when they were in a private hospital in Europe.

But the strict surveillance of the Umbrella base is not for show. Ant-Man can't even invade the Avengers headquarters, let alone sneak into the Umbrella base where Carl is in charge.
