He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 79 Initial Success of the New Drug

"Boss, Mr. Stark is here!"

Xiao Liu's voice came through the communicator on the desk.

"Okay, I understand. Let him in."

Li Chuan replied without any surprise on his face.

It's been a while since the last toxin removal, and the toxins in Tony's body have increased quite a bit because he's been showing off in his suit and wandering around everywhere every day.

I came here specifically to have him clean my body; I already told him yesterday.

"Honey, Chuan, how have you been lately? I heard from Chili that you seem to be in some trouble?"

The office door opened, and Tony, wearing sunglasses, strode in.

Li Chuan smiled:

"It is a bit troublesome, but it's okay. There is a Chinese saying, 'The innocent will clear themselves.' My products are fine, and these rumors will eventually fall apart on their own."

By the way, I saw in the newspaper that you've been summoned to Washington tomorrow for a hearing?

While the Li Group has been harassed by various forces recently, Tony has also been targeted by the US government. They are pressuring Tony to hand over the manufacturing technology of the Iron Man suit under the pretext that Tony is manufacturing dangerous weapons.

In fact, the Li Group's predicament in the public opinion is partly related to this.

Like that Hydra mole in the government, Congressman Stern in Washington, he didn't actually have any major conflicts with the Li Group.

The reason they helped those capitalists in the pharmaceutical industry suppress the Li Group was actually because the Li Group had close ties with the Stark Group.

Hydra also hoped to use the government to force Tony to obtain the technology to manufacture the Iron Man suit.

If most of their manpower weren't currently focused on dealing with Nick Fury, their methods might have been even more drastic.

"They're just a bunch of clowns. I know them too well. Tomorrow I'll show them that even if the president comes, he can't take anything from me if I don't want to."

Tony clearly held those government officials in utter contempt.

Stark Industries has businesses spanning various industries across the country, and many government projects and advanced technology products rely on Stark Industries. They cannot use too harsh methods against Tony.

As for legal means, Tony's legal team is no pushover.

Therefore, the only way to try and force Tony to voluntarily hand over the technology for making the Iron Man suit is through a hearing.

"It seems you already had a plan. Would you mind taking me along tomorrow to broaden my horizons?"

Li Chuan got up and went to Tony, using his palm magic to remove all the toxins.

Tony's eyes lit up:

"Of course, I'd love to!"

He always gets thwarted by Li Chuan. He finally managed to create the Iron Man suit, but he still got a "GG" on his back.

This time, I'll take Li Chuan with me to the hearing so he can see how domineering and witty I am in front of those high-ranking government officials, and how I can completely outmaneuver them.

Such a rare opportunity, how could I possibly refuse?

"I've been wanting to ask, who is this?"

Tony looked at Xiao Wu, who had been standing there without saying a word. At first, he hadn't noticed her because of her clothes, but in a moment, his eyes, which had seen countless beautiful women, had made a sharp discovery.

Beyond Xiao Wu's very ordinary and unremarkable outfits, there lies a remarkably refined face and a unique temperament.

She is clearly a stunning beauty who, with a little dressing up, would be absolutely gorgeous.

"Could he be the wife you were talking about?"

From the way Xiao Wu kept glancing at Li Chuan, Tony seemed to have noticed something.

"Wife, wife, wife!"

Xiao Wu, who had been standing beside Tony with a smile ever since Tony came in, blushed instantly upon hearing Tony's words.

The look in Tony's eyes had changed from the previous sharp intuition of knowing from which angle to deliver a fatal blow if the other attacked the boss, to an acknowledgment that he was a decent guy.

If Li Chuan's other men saw Li Wu blushing like this, they would be absolutely stunned.

Those who know Li Wu know that what Li Wu enjoys most is slowly torturing and killing his enemies while listening to their cries of agony. Old people, children, women—as long as they are enemies, Li Wu never shows any mercy.

Of Li Chuan's three most trusted subordinates, Li San appears to be the strongest, Li Liu the most ferocious, and Li Wu the most harmless.

But in reality, everyone's biggest fear was Li Wu. Because she had no feelings for anyone except Li Chuan. Even Li San and Li Liu, she would kill without hesitation if Li Chuan gave the order.

"She's my sister, Xiao Wu. Go back and rest. Visit Wanda when you have time; she was talking about you the other day."

Li Chuan said something to Xiao Wu, who nodded and turned to leave the office.

Tony watched Xiao Wu leave, a look of surprise on his face:

"She's your sister, but it seems like you two..."

One is a Chinese person with yellow skin, and the other is clearly a European with white skin. The key point is that the two do not look alike at all.

"Xiao Wu is my adopted sister, but I only treat her as a younger sister."

Li Chuan glanced at Tony, whose gaze was gradually becoming more meaningful, and emphasized it.

Xiao Wu is very beautiful, but he really only treats her as a younger sister or a subordinate. He only took her in because he felt sorry for her, and she was also quite talented and ruthless.

After spending a long time together, some feelings may develop, but these are just normal feelings and not romantic feelings.

Li San, Li Wu, and Li Liu, along with the nine who died, each had a past filled with unbearable sorrow and despair.

Li Chuan simply felt he needed some subordinates to help him with his tasks, so he conveniently rescued them.

Teach them martial arts, take them on missions, train them to become stronger, so that they can become more valuable.

In their eyes, Li Chuan was the only ray of light in the darkness, a light they were willing to give their lives to protect.

The two agreed on a time to meet the next day, and Tony left, while Li Chuan went to the laboratory downstairs.

The troubles that the Li Group has been facing recently are all minor issues for him, so minor that he doesn't even need to personally intervene; Xiao Wu and the others can handle them very well.

What he was really concerned about was the progress of the new drug research, because the one-month deadline he had originally set was fast approaching.

"Dr. Stern, Dr. Banner, how is it?"

"Based on the strong assimilative properties of the green gene in Dr. Banner's blood, we have initially created a very special gene drug. After numerous experiments, it has shown very good results against cancer cells."

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear, Dr. Stern immediately began his lengthy discourse with excitement.

Li Chuan raised his hand to interrupt:

"So, the current research results mean that it can cure all cancers, is that what you mean?"

"That's right. Simply put, taking our new drug can assimilate all those cancerous cells into green cells and then eliminate them from the body, thus naturally curing the cancer."

Stern nodded excitedly.
