A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

Mephisto's greatest skill is threatening you with your family and friends to make a deal.

If your family or friends are facing a death threat, and you happen to be targeted by him for your soul, he will almost certainly show himself to tempt you into signing a contract.

of course.

Even if you weren't facing this predicament right now, Mephisto might still create one for you. After all, that's how demons are—they'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The only thing Luo Bai couldn't understand was why this guy suddenly showed up before taking action, letting Luo Bai discover him.

Is it overconfidence, or is it a provocation against Luo Bai?

Now that we've discovered it, we still need to be vigilant.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai asked, "Tony, did you bring your suit?"

Tony was still talking about Obadiah when Luo Bai suddenly asked him a question. He paused for a moment before replying, "I didn't bring it. You know how inconvenient it is to carry around. I'm planning to upgrade my suit recently, how about making a portable one?"

"That sounds good, but I think it would be even cooler if it popped up with a single press," Luo Bai said with a smile.

"You think this is a movie where you can just press a button and it pops up?" Tony scoffed.

Later on, Tony's suits did indeed evolve to the level that Luo Bai mentioned, such as the nanosuits that Tony developed after the discovery of nanotechnology.

However, it is indeed somewhat like science fiction to achieve this with current technology, so Luo Bai didn't say much more.

Tony assumed that Luo Bai was just making a joke, so he didn't ask any further questions.

However, he was somewhat puzzled.

"Why are you suddenly asking about my battle suit? Has something happened?"

Tony is a bit sensitive; if you tell him about Mephisto, he'll probably start overthinking and scaring himself.

Therefore, Luo Bai decided to keep it a secret.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if you would bring your combat suit out with you."

"I originally wanted to bring it, but I..."

Tony seemed about to say something when a car speeding towards them interrupted him.

The car was traveling at high speed, almost full speed, and it headed straight at Tony.

At the speed of the car in front, Tony had no way to avoid it.

"Damn it!"

With a curse, Tony instinctively tried to swerve to avoid the obstacle.

But before he could do anything, everything went black.

When his vision returned, he and his car suddenly appeared on the streets of downtown New York City.

The out-of-control car disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

Even Tony was momentarily dazed, wondering if what he had just witnessed was just his imagination.

Tony knew this wasn't his imagination; Luo Bai must have done something.

Turn on your lights and pull over.

Tony took two deep breaths, still somewhat shaken.

After finally calming down, Tony asked, "You saved me, right?"

Luo Bai nodded and responded softly, "Mm."

"Did you use teleportation?" Tony asked.

Luo Bai nodded, his brows furrowing slightly.

He seemed preoccupied, but Tony didn't have time to notice.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "Thank goodness you were here, otherwise something terrible would have happened. That car was clearly out of control; at its speed, I couldn't have avoided it at all. Luckily you have superpowers."

Before Luo Bai could even speak, Tony couldn't help but complain again, "Looks like we weren't very lucky today; we almost had an accident."

Luo Bai knew this had nothing to do with luck.

After all, it's hard for him not to suspect that Mephisto was the mastermind behind this accident.

But this guy used such a low-level method to create an accidental car crash?

Although Luo Bai wasn't sure if this had anything to do with Mephisto, he still reminded him, "Tony, I think you should be a little more careful lately."

Tony responded helplessly, "It was just an accident. You can't be careful if you actually run into something like that."

As Tony spoke, he started the car and drove toward the party venue.

Perhaps because of the accident earlier, the atmosphere in the car was not as lively as before, and was a little solemn.

However, the two soon arrived at the venue of the party, outside a star-rated hotel in downtown New York City.

As soon as Tony got out of the car, a bunch of reporters swarmed around him for interviews, and he instantly forgot about the earlier incident.

"Are you used to this kind of occasion?" Ignoring the reporters, Tony simply looked at Luo Bai and asked.

Actually, Luo Bai wasn't used to this kind of occasion. After all, the cocktail party was too formal, and it looked a lot like walking the red carpet in Hollywood.

A huge red carpet stretched from the hotel entrance all the way to the curb.

The red carpet was filled with business elites in suits, and it's said that there were also some popular female celebrities there.

Reporters were everywhere, and their flashes were going off constantly.

This situation really surprised Luo Bai, but fortunately he was good at adapting.

"Tony, you're the star tonight. I doubt they'll pay any attention to me."

"But I won't do such a boring interview."

Tony led Luo Bai into the hotel as he spoke.

The hotel's largest reception room was already packed with people, most of whom Luo Bai didn't recognize, but there were a few people he remembered well.

One was Ms. Potts, wearing a blue dress, and the other was Agent Coulson, whom she had met once before but hadn't gotten along well with.

Upon seeing Tony arrive, Agent Coulson seemed to want to come up and greet him.

But when he saw Luo Bai standing next to him, Coulson hesitated for a moment.

Perhaps because of the mission, Coulson finally stepped forward and forced himself to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Stark, I'm Agent Coulson."

He didn't greet Luo Bai, probably because he didn't want to.

But Luo Bai didn't suggest it, and instead greeted him warmly: "Hello, Agent Coulson."

"..."

silence.

Infinite silence.

Coulson subconsciously touched his head, his face seemingly showing some worry.

Seeing this, Luo Bai laughed and said, "Would you believe me if I said it was an accident last time?"

Coulson gave a wry smile and replied helplessly, "I hope that kind of accident won't happen again."

Tony sensed something was off from their conversation.

"Have you met before?" Tony asked.

Luo Bai nodded and answered truthfully, "Remember when I said Natasha's colleague contacted me? It was him."

Upon hearing this, Tony's expression instantly changed: "I think I've already made myself clear to you. I hope you won't bother Luo Bai. As for the escape, I mentioned it last time; I escaped using the suit."

Coulson shook his head and said politely, "I'm not here to see Luo Bai, I'm here to see you. I know you might be having some trouble lately, but we need to understand the situation better, so I wanted to talk to you alone..."

Tony wasn't listening to anything Coulson was saying, because his attention was already drawn to Potts in the crowd.

After straightening his clothes, Tony asked somewhat nervously, "Luo Bai, do you think it would be a bit abrupt for me to just go and confess to her like this?"

Luo Bai immediately replied, "You're Tony, a womanizer. Show some courage."

"You're right."

After Tony finished speaking, he mustered up his courage and walked towards Potts. The two danced for a while and then went to the rooftop.

With Tony gone, only Coulson and Lobo remained.

Coulson was clearly very uncomfortable, constantly looking up at the sky, probably afraid that something inexplicable might fall down again.
