As soon as he entered the backstage, Steve was full of sweet words towards Tony, obviously very dissatisfied with what Tony had just said on the stage about the autographed photo.
Tony, who had long been accustomed to Steve's foul mouth, was unmoved. He held a glass of whiskey in each hand and handed one to Steve.
"Calm down, big guy. This is all for our own good and to improve our firm's reputation, isn't it?"
"You know what? Just recently, my Stark Industries and your Rogers Industries have seen their market capitalizations increase by at least ten points due to the Avengers Agency announcement. Once this matter fully unfolds, their market capitalizations might even double."
"Although this amount of money is insignificant to me, who is about to enter the new energy market, it is extremely important for your newly established Rogers Industries~"
"So your sacrifice of this little bit of 'hue' is totally worth it, isn't it?"
To be honest, Tony looked so confident that he was in control of the situation that he looked like a kid who needed a beating, and Steve was so itchy that he wanted to do something!
But after hearing Tony say that Rogers Industries' market value would double as a result, Steve suddenly felt that Tony didn't deserve a beating so badly.
Simply put, it's a fight between the left and right brains.
After Steve took the glass, Tony pointed to the news report on the big screen backstage.
"Please watch vcr~"
In the news reports, the first thing that catches your eye is several long rows of large characters.
The Avengers, the first real-name superheroes from both the old and new eras, are formed by Captain America Steve Rogers and Iron Man Tony Stark.
A true superhero should be as brave as the Avengers in showing their faces and fighting super criminals who are also superhuman. The Avengers, please get rid of those masked vigilantes who only know how to beat up thugs on the streets!
It is easy to imagine how much turmoil the combination of an American World War II hero, the richest man in the United States, and an office founded by two extremely influential superheroes who publicly revealed their identities would cause.
However, looking at this news report full of hatred between the words, Steve couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Fuck! Who the hell wrote this news report? Not only did they draw hatred from those super villains, but they also drew hatred from those unnamed superheroes?!"
Tony didn't answer this, but shrugged his shoulders and used the remote control to scroll directly to the signature part at the bottom of the report.
The words "The Daily Bugle" were clearly marked on it.
Steve was relieved when he saw this. It turned out that it was the 1.5 generation Spider-Man who did it.
It seems that no matter which Marvel universe, the mustachioed boss of the Daily Bugle doesn't like the masked hero very much, or to be more precise, he doesn't like Spider-Man.
Eddie, who caught up with Steve, looked at him, who was cursing and was very dissatisfied with the report. He silently took off the Daily Bugle ID badge hanging on his chest and put it in his pocket, feeling that he seemed to have come at a bad time.
But it was obvious that Steve had not forgotten Eddie's identity.
He turned around, picked up Eddie, who was pretending to be an ostrich, and took out the Daily Bugle ID badge from his pocket.
"Hey, kid, I remember you're from the Daily Bugle, right? You wrote this report, didn't you?"
Before Steve could get angry, Eddie quickly raised his hand to clarify:
"Captain, this is unfair! I didn't write this. I just joined the Daily Bugle a few days ago and am just a nominal reporter. This report was written by my boss, J. Jonah Jameson, personally. It has nothing to do with me!"
"And have you forgotten? After Tony Stark's speech, I've been following you the whole time and didn't have time to write a script..."
It seems so...
Eddie has been following Tony since he stepped down and has no time to write manuscripts.
Steve then remembered that this guy came to him for help.
The customer is God, and he cannot send the customer to see God.
Chapter 60 Avengers Tower!
He put Eddie back on the ground and kindly straightened his collar.
"Oh, my customer God, tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"
Tony, who was standing by, poured Eddie a glass of wine and spoke with interest:
"Don't be scared, man, Steve is just like that. He looks uncultured, but he's actually a pretty good guy.
Tell us what superhuman incidents you have that require our assistance. As our first order after the official opening of the Avengers Agency, we can give you a 50% discount~"
Speaking of business, Eddie took a sip of the wine Tony handed him to calm his nerves, and immediately said to Steve:
"Remember last month when we were at the Life Foundation and you took that alien creature called the symbiote from my body?"
Before Steve could reply, Tony spoke again out of curiosity:
"Wait, you're talking about the Life Foundation in San Francisco? Did Drake actually bring back alien life forms from outer space?"
"You know that guy Drake? And you know about the alien lifeforms? Are you also having some shady collaboration with that guy?!"
Eddie looked at Tony in surprise and subconsciously took two steps back.
I thought I had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!
Tony shook his head in disdain. "Cooperation? How could India be qualified? I was just a little interested in his plan to explore the universe, so I had Jarvis hack into their internal systems and take a look."
"But at the time, I thought exploring for extraterrestrial life was unrealistic, so I stopped paying attention. I never expected him to actually find it..."
At this point, Tony looked at Steve with his eyes shining.
"So you stole that symbiote thing from that Indian? How many symbiotes do you have now?"
Steve glanced at him and pointed at his chest:
"There are only two surviving symbiotes, and you've actually seen them before. One of them is living in Wade, and it's the one that healed the thing in your chest."
Hearing this, Tony became even more interested.
"So the thing that can heal the human body is a symbiote? I thought it was Wade's special superpower. So you have another symbiote in your hands? How about lending it to me for a few days to study?"
Steve nodded indifferently. "If you want it, take it. It's useless for me to keep it, so I'll just give it to you. It also saves me from feeding it chocolate every day."
"But you'd better not let the symbiote parasitize you easily. It's not suitable for everyone, and not all hosts have almost unlimited phenylethylamine like Wade for the symbiote to absorb. If it gets too hungry, it will turn against the host~"
Tony nodded nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, I'm a scientist, and rigor is what I value most.
I also don't intend to let this alien parasite infest me and suck out my brain.
I just had a sudden idea to try to see if I could create a battle armor with symbiote abilities based on the characteristics of the symbiote."
"If possible, I plan to use both your armor and my new generation armor."
Symbiote armor?
Steve's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea, and nodded.
"Okay, as long as you know your limits, I'll have Sharon deliver it to you in a couple of days."
Tony made an OK gesture and leaned aside to continue watching the show.
Steve also looked at Eddie again, who had been silent during their conversation. "Okay, Eddie, this little episode is over, you can continue."
Eddie took another sip of the wine Tony handed him to moisten his throat and continued:
"Ever since I infiltrated the Life Foundation last time, I've always felt like someone was secretly watching me, but I don't know why they haven't taken any action against me."
"After your departure, I suspect it was most likely someone sent by Drake. The reason they didn't attack me is probably because they knew the symbiote wasn't in me, so they wanted to use me to find you who took the symbiote."
"So, to avoid Drake's surveillance and to avoid implicating my ex-girlfriend again, I fled from San Francisco to New York and found a job at the Daily Bugle to support myself. I didn't expect to meet you, Captain, at this expo."
"It just so happens that your Avengers Agency for Superhuman Incidents was announced at this time. This also made me determined to seek your help, Captain, to completely resolve this matter."
"Alien life forms like symbiotes are considered superhuman. Your Avengers Agency should accept this commission, right?"
As for Eddie, one of the Marvel protagonists, even if it is not a superhuman event, Steve will still accept his commission for the system reward.
However, he still couldn't break the rules openly, so he said calmly:
"Of course, but I believe you are also aware that we are a law firm, not a charity, and we need to charge fees for commissions.
Taking action against a large group like the Life Foundation is not cheap, so how much can you offer?"
Eddie's face froze when he heard that. He was so busy seeking help that he didn't realize that the Avengers Agency was different from those street heroes and that they charged a fee!
After searching his entire body, Eddie, with an embarrassed look on his face, took out all his belongings, $250, plus a few coins...
"I'm sorry. Ever since I last reported on the Life Foundation's human experimentation scandal, my life hasn't been going well. I lost my job, broke up with my girlfriend, and no company in San Francisco wants me anymore..."
"This money is all I have left, but I think it's far from enough, right..."
Steve was speechless. He thought Eddie would be very poor after being targeted by Drake and losing his job, but he didn't expect him to be so poor!
This guy used to be a popular front-line reporter. Doesn’t he have any savings at all?
But when I think about the fact that this is America, people here may not necessarily have the habit of saving money.
After sighing helplessly, he took the two hundred-dollar bills from Eddie's hand.
"Forget it. Our firm wasn't originally established to make money. We charge fees simply to let people know that superheroes' help is never taken for granted, and to allow the heroes of our firm to earn a tiny reward for their kindness."
"So consider this a good deed for me. I'll accept your commission, but there's one additional condition: you have to join our Avengers Agency. We're in need of a tough-minded reporter who's brave enough to face the capitalists."
Eddie was stunned and could hardly believe his ears.
Not only could he get the Avengers to help him solve the huge problem of the Life Foundation for just $200, but he could also join the Avengers Agency?!
How could such a good thing as pie in the sky fall upon him!
Steve looked at the stunned Eddie and raised an eyebrow: "What? You don't want to?"
Eddie recovered from his surprise and said hurriedly:
"No, no, no, of course I do. I...I mean, I'm really honored to be a member of the Avengers!"
Steve shrugged. "Actually, you're just a news reporter for the firm, not a full-fledged superhero. But that's okay."
"From today until the matter of the Life Foundation is resolved, you will stay at the Avengers Tower in the office. No one dares to cause trouble in my territory."
During this time, Xiao La Jiao had already selected a location for the office and completed the decoration.
In other words, we cannot say that the address is chosen, because the place and the building are already there.
That is the original Hammer Building. As the super building in New York second only to Stark Building, it is worthy of being used as the Avengers base in terms of both its geographical location and grandeur.
Therefore, the Hammer Building was not renamed the Rogers Building, but was directly renamed the Avengers Building by Steve.
In the future, this will be the world's first and only super building where all superheroes work.
