A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 167 Are you kidding me?

"Has it really been sixty years?" Steve Rogers exclaimed as he gently embraced Peggy Carter after the dance ended.

"Yes, I never thought I'd see you again." Peggy Carter gently stroked Steve Rogers' cheek, scrutinizing him intently, as if trying to etch his face into her memory.

"Oh right, those people from earlier..." After spending time with his beloved, Steve Rogers finally remembered the series of difficult situations they had just caused.

"Haha, it's just a bunch of kids fooling around. The one you mistook for Howard is called Tony, Howard's son. The girl you saw when you woke up is Natasha, a poor child. That strange wizard, he's a real wizard. And Frank, he was your idol when you were little, also a poor child. And a few other girls..." Peggy Carter laughed as she introduced the League members to Steve Rogers.

"Wizards? It seems I really don't know this world anymore—and these kids you're talking about, they're not exactly gentle." After hearing Peggy Carter's introduction, Steve Rogers couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't even mention you, I had the same feeling after interacting with these kids... But don't take it personally, they just want to see you as a legendary figure, they don't have any bad intentions," Peggy Carter said.

"Of course I don't mind. After sleeping for so long, it's good to stretch my muscles. Besides, as you said, I should thank them—otherwise I might have fallen into a deep sleep forever and never see you again." Steve Rogers looked at Peggy Carter with deep affection.

"Yes, I also need to thank them," Carter agreed.

This was also the reason she agreed to the kids' antics.

It's not those children; she's now an old woman approaching her twilight years. Steve Rogers may be frozen in time forever, and they may never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime—or even if they do, it will be a very awkward situation.

How could we ever be able to snuggle together like this, fulfilling a promise we made over sixty years ago?

"Of course, it would be even better if they could stop spying on us at this time," Peggy Carter said, shifting her gaze to the camera in the corner.

Although they knew Peggy Carter couldn't possibly see them, everyone in the monitoring room still guiltily looked away from the screen.

"Cough cough, these old folks are so boring. We haven't seen each other for decades, and all they did was hug and dance... If it were me... Ouch!" Before Tony could finish speaking, he got an elbow from Natasha.

"The children are still here!" Natasha said through gritted teeth.

The other adults were also staring at him with hostility.

Upon hearing this, Tony grimaced and glanced at the three girls—Colin Wynne, Yelena, and Skye—who were pretending to be well-behaved, speechless.

These days, even elementary school students might know more than him. Besides, almost two years have passed, and these little girls, the youngest of whom, Colin, is already in ninth grade (first year of high school).

Yelena and Skye are about to turn 18.

Is this even a child?

Of course, he only thought about it; he certainly wouldn't dare say it aloud, otherwise it probably wouldn't just be a matter of an elbow strike—he would probably be dragged to the training ground by others for a series of attacks.

Although everyone drank the Titan Potion, they are all superhumans.

However, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, he is no match for these guys who have been immersed in this art for a long time.

They'll definitely get beaten badly.

"Ahem, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now!" Seeing that the two captains on the monitor screen had already left the "dance hall," Tony immediately felt bored and prepared to leave as well.

Seeing that there was no point in watching, the others also left.

Afterwards, Steve Rogers was taken back to the Carter Group by Peggy Carter.

The alliance members did not have much contact with the other party afterward.

Even after that day, no one heard from Captain America.

Clearly, just like Captain America who traveled back in time in the original story, this Captain America, awakened by the League, seems to only want to quietly live his life with his former lover.

until……

Because they resolved Captain America's issue and also put aside their concerns about S.H.I.E.L.D.

The alliance has also accelerated the progress of its space exploration program.

A large number of gold ingots cast to cosmic standards were secretly sent to the Alliance headquarters and loaded onto spaceships.

Although it was just a small combat spaceship.

But in reality, its carrying capacity is not low at all.

The spacecraft was loaded with tens of tons of gold without affecting its operation at all.

If it weren't for the need to enhance the spaceship's combat capabilities, they would have equipped the spaceship with dozens of steel soldiers.

In addition to other supplies.

If it's just transporting gold, we can operate even hundreds of tons.

Their first target was Xandar, the planet home to the Nova Empire.

Because among the related cosmic civilizations marked on the star map, the Nova Empire is a relatively inclusive, not very xenophobic, and sufficiently advanced civilization.

So Li Wei and his crew planned to exchange the gold on their spaceship for universal currency there.

Although gold is considered a universal currency in the universe, it is still too heavy. It's fine for large transactions, but it's a bit too much for regular expenses.

Therefore, the best approach is to first exchange the gold for a currency called "Niue," which is widely used by most civilizations in the Milky Way.

It was when I learned the name of the universal currency of the Milky Way.

Li Wei's expression was somewhat strange.

I wonder if the Niue coins from the Marvel Universe can be used in Star Wars, Pokémon, or other Disney worlds.

(Niue, a South Pacific island nation, frequently issues various world-class IP commemorative coins through the Bank of New Zealand, which are highly collectible.)

And during this process, another half a year passed.

Time quickly passed to the middle of 2006.

Tony and Levi have made their decision and are ready to officially set off next month.

However, at this very moment, Peggy Carter suddenly contacted Tony and Levi, telling them some shocking news.

Nick Fury was attacked on his way home from get off work and died from his injuries.

Tony looked at Levi with surprise.

"Heh, I don't think he's dead. It's most likely an illusion," Li Wei shook his head and sneered.

If these black braised eggs were so easy to kill, they would have died countless times already.

And don't forget S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Tahiti program; as long as they're not completely dead or have their heads blown off, they can be saved no matter what kind of injury they suffer.

Will he die from the incurable disease?

You're kidding me.
