A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

“Sir, compared to recoil, I think you should consider the energy required for this weapon,” Jarvis advised.

"Oh, right." Tony suddenly realized; he had been operating it while connected to the power cord.

"Jarvis, how much energy did I just use?"

"Sir, the energy you just used is enough to power your Audi R8 through the entire tank."

"Oh, shit."

Tony Stark's lips twitched. Such a massive amount of energy couldn't possibly be carried around. Luckily, his villa used a reactor as its energy source, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

"Damn it, after all this work, I realized the most important problem hasn't been solved." Tony slapped his forehead, somewhat annoyed.

He stayed at home, thinking only about how to make it lighter and increase its power, but he overlooked the most important issue all along: energy.

"Looks like I need to think about how to solve the energy problem," Tony muttered to himself, pacing back and forth.

"Perhaps making the reactor smaller would be a good option..."

Tony's gaze fell on the blueprints of the arc-shaped reactor not far away.

"Sir, there's something I need to tell you. Miss Pepper, she..."

Jarvis was speaking, but Tony was already so engrossed in his own world that he subconsciously ignored the sounds around him.

……

New Jersey, residential area.

Cao Gui stood in front of his house with his arm around Gwen's waist, chuckling, "How is it? Do you like it?"

"This...is our home?" Gwen asked in surprise.

"Of course, for both of us."

"Cao, didn't you already spend your million in Los Angeles? Besides, this place can't be bought with just one million."

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Cao Gui scratched his head, surprised.

"What did you say?" Gwen tilted her head, puzzled.

“How come I remember… Oh~~” Cao Gui suddenly realized, and remembered.

I did say that, but not with Gwen, it was with Beth, haha, I almost got them mixed up.

"Come on, darling, let's go inside. I'll explain it to you in detail, but my memory isn't very good, so I'll need your help..."

"Hmph, do I have to wear black stockings for you to understand?"

Cao Gui: "..."

Damn it, I got overtaken!

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, come inside with me, don't even think about leaving until you explain yourself."

……

"Gibberish... Beep beep... Woo hoo... That's the situation, understand?"

"Oh...I'm very tired, I didn't hear you clearly, let's talk about it tomorrow..."

Gwen hugged Cao Gui, snuggled into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

*cough*... Well, only one update, I'm too tired, I'll continue tomorrow...

Chapter 118 Gwen: Damn, I'm a lady!

At ten o'clock in the morning, Cao Gui reluctantly got out of bed after Gwen called him.

"It's so early in the morning, I'm so sleepy..." Cao Gui yawned and said dejectedly.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's the weekend, take me out to play." Gwen pulled Cao Gui out of bed.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Cao Gui looked helpless. Ever since Gwen returned from Hawaii, she had been clinging to him. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it had been several weeks already.

Urged on by Gwen, Cao Gui had no choice but to obediently wash up and get dressed.

The two got into the Porsche Cayenne that had been transported from Los Angeles, started the car, and drove away.

"Gwen, where are we going?" Cao Gui asked.

“Hmm… how about Ellis Island?” Gwen smiled. “I’ve been really interested in history lately, so I’d like to see the history of New York.”

"Okay, no problem." Cao Gui laughed and drove the vehicle toward western New York.

Ellis Island is a small island off the coast of New York. The first European immigrants landed there and later gradually migrated to America, eventually forming the United States as we know it today.

“You know what, Kim said she found her great-grandfather at the museum on Ellis Island,” Gwen said excitedly.

"Oh, I didn't know that happened." Cao Gui said in surprise. But then again, aren't most European immigrants thugs and hooligans? Is Kem... alright?

"However, according to her, her great-grandfather was a carpenter who had to come to New York because he accidentally killed someone in Paris."

"Oh, I see."

Cao Gui nodded. No wonder Kem and Paris were so connected; the root of the problem was here.

“So, I want to go to Ellis Island to see what country my ancestors came from,” Gwen said with a smile.

“No problem, darling, I’ll go with you… Huh?” Cao Gui said with a smile, but the car suddenly stalled.

Cao Gui glanced at it and couldn't help but twitch his lips; it turned out there was nothing left.

"You idiot." Gwen rubbed Cao Gui's face in annoyance: "The car is out of gas."

"Okay... Ugh, I'll go fill up right now." Cao Gui pouted and said dejectedly. He remembered that he had a small can of gasoline in his [System Backpack], so he decided to go to the gas station first.

The two bickered as they slowly drove to a small gas station. Cao Gui got out to refuel and then went into the convenience store to buy some things.

Just then, a black Chevrolet sedan wobbled into the small gas station, blasting heavy metal music at full volume, completely disregarding the feelings of those around it.

Inside the Porsche, Gwen frowned. The people in the car, even before getting out, gave off an arrogant and overbearing vibe, which was very unpleasant.

Sure enough, three men got out of the car: two young men about the same age as Gwen, and one adult man in a suit.

The three men were speaking Russian, which Gwen couldn't understand. Even from a considerable distance, Gwen could still smell the alcohol emanating from them.

Inside the convenience store, Cao Gui immediately noticed the arrival of the three people. He turned his head and was somewhat surprised, as he recognized one of them.

Theon the Stinky!

A pathetic and deserving-to-die person.

Outside, Theon the Stinky lit a cigarette, took a leisurely puff, and squinted because the sun was just rising and was a bit too bright.

But then, his gaze shifted and he saw Gwen sitting in the car, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Hey, beautiful, all alone?" The stinky Theon immediately moved closer and asked flirtatiously from the car window.

Gwen frowned, silently rolled up the car window, and ignored his words. She didn't want to ruin her good mood for this man.

But just because Gwen doesn't want trouble doesn't mean Theon doesn't want trouble either.

"No, please, beautiful lady, how about we exchange contact information?" Gu Qing

The stinky guy, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, let out a strange laugh and reached out to open Gwen's car door.

This extremely offensive action made Gwen's pretty face turn cold, and she kicked him directly.

Theon, already indulging in excessive drinking and womanizing, and suffering from a hangover, was kicked by Gwen and rolled twice on the ground.

Theon was stunned for a moment, then anger rose in his heart and evil thoughts took hold.

"Sang Bichi!"

He jumped up from the ground and lunged at Gwen in a rage. Hangovers are prone to anger and irritability, especially after being hit by a woman.

However, Gwen's eyes flashed with a cold light. She took a slight step back, pulled out a leg, and slapped Theon across the face with a "smack." Theon spun around several times before finally stopping, dazed.

Inside the convenience store, Cao Gui looked surprised. When did Gwen become so amazing... Oh, right, she used to beat up a Texan with a baton. I've always treated her like a pretty face.

Cao Gui touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He had almost forgotten that this was Spider-Woman.

Outside the convenience store, Gwen felt Cao Gui's gaze and her pretty face flushed slightly. She had actually acted so rudely in front of her boyfriend.

Damn it, my carefully maintained image as a demure woman has collapsed!

"Damn it, don't move!"

At that moment, another young man drew his gun and pointed it at Gwen, his face contorted with rage, and said, "Damn it, how could you beat Tarasov like this?"

Gwen glanced at him; the safety on that pistol wasn't even off, yet he dared to use it to threaten others.

“NYPD, you've got some nerve, threatening me with a gun.” Gwen’s pretty face turned slightly cold as she produced her identification.

“Sir, you are suspected of assaulting a police officer. Put down your gun, put your hands behind your head, and I may consider not to charge you.”

The young man was stunned when the ID was flashed. Assaulting a police officer is a serious crime in the United States. He was caught in a dilemma: whether to fire the gun or not.

"OMG Fuck!"

At this point, Theon, who had been badly beaten, couldn't take it anymore and jumped up to snatch the young man's pistol.

But at that moment, Cao Gui appeared behind him and slapped him across the face.

Snapped!

The old man swayed around twice more before passing out.

Poor stinky guy, he gets the worst beatings no matter where he is.

"Get lost."

Cao Gui glanced at the young man and told him to get lost with his men. Given Cao Gui's personality, it was impossible for these three to leave alive. But Gwen was right there, and Cao Gui couldn't kill anyone in front of her.

At this moment, the man in the suit among the three walked over, glanced at Theon lying on the ground and the documents that Gwen had not yet retrieved, and then gestured to the young man next to him to take the man away.

"Good luck, ma'am and sir," the man in the suit said slowly.
