285. Tea party
Goofy is a man of action, and took Carrie to Kanassee to see houses on the weekend, and the real estate agent took them around three houses, and the layout, decoration and furniture were not bad.
Two of the houses met Carrie's requirements β a lawn, a pool, a garage.
The third house doesn't have a pool, but the lawn and garage are good.
Overall, the quality of properties in this area is very high.
Now Goofy is short of the house payment.
After looking at the house all day, the father and daughter returned home in the evening.
Goofy was just about to watch TV with Carrie when his phone rang suddenly.
Looking down, it was Stark's call, this guy doesn't usually call Goofy, and the call he calls is a big deal.
"Hey, Tony." Gao Fei quickly answered the phone.
Tony's tone was a little serious: "Goofy? Got time? I held a ...... here Belch...... Tea party, please attend. β
"Tea party?" Goofy looked confused, when did Tony Stark become obsessed with something so seriously outdated?
"It's a party, right? You're throwing a party again, right? Is it that no one pays attention to you, so you use this excuse to call me over? Goofy asked with a smile.
"Of course not, it's just a tea party, and it's a small tea party, come here, hurry up." Tony whispered.
Hearing Tony's voice so serious, Goofy finally decided to go over and take a look, the last time he let Tony run for nothing because of Loki's matter, Goofy still felt some guilt about him.
"Then I'll come over now."
Hanging up the phone, Gao Fei instructed Carrie: "Watch TV at home obediently at night, wash and sleep on time, I'll go to Stark, maybe when I will come back." β
Carrie nodded: "Okay! β
ββββββββ
Stark's "Tea Party" was held in an unfamiliar location, where Goofy had never been before, on the edge of Manhattan and off the beaten track at night.
Goofy had just parked his car when he suddenly saw a familiar sports car parked not far away - if he remembered correctly, this sports car belonged to the Fantastic Four.
"Reed is here too?" Goofy was confused, "Didn't Stark look at Reed very upset?" β
After all, Reed is known as the smartest person in the world, a title that makes Stark very unhappy, and Reed's fiancΓ©e Susan Storm is a famous beauty in New York, which undoubtedly stimulates Stark's proud self-esteem.
"What the hell is this tea party?"
Goofy sneered while taking the elevator upstairs.
The room for the "tea party" was on the top floor, but there was no waiter in the corridor outside the elevator, and as soon as he got off the elevator, Jarvis's voice came from not far away.
"Welcome, Officer Goofy, Mr. Stark is already waiting inside, please go straight and turn right, and open the first door to see him."
Goofy pursed his lips and walked forward as Jarvis instructed, turning right and pushing the first door open, Goofy saw Tony Stark sitting in the room.
On Stark's left hand sat another old friend, "Mr. Fantastic" Reed Richards.
"You're finally here, Goofy, you're slow......" Tony Stark teased with a laugh.
Reid got up enthusiastically to greet him: "Great, you're finally here, it's awkward when it's just me and Stark in the room." β
"Oh, did you notice that, too? Reed, I thought I was the only one who found out. Tony said angrily, "If it weren't for the overall situation, I wouldn't have invited you over." β
Reid smiled and didn't say a word, he didn't bother to meet Stark.
Goofy looked around, there was not even a window in the whole room, only a few bottles of beautifully packaged red wine on the table, and there was no trace of tea at all.
A bullshit tea party, Tony Stark is really bullshit.
"Tony, is this what you call a tea party?" Goofy squinted, "You actually lied to me?" β
"Uh...... Actually, it was a tea party, but I didn't like tea, so I replaced it with wine. Sit down, both of you, and I know everyone's time is precious, so let's get right to it. β
Goofy and Reed nodded, then sat down next to Stark.
Tony Stark cleared his throat and began his statement.
"In the past two years, the earth has become stranger and stranger, and humanity has encountered many new challenges. The appearance of superpowers is one thing, and the visit of aliens is another......"
"Take New York as an example, since the end of 08, the number of superpowers has broken through from 0 to 70, and this is only the number of registered superpowers, and there are ......many unregistered superpowers."
"As for the aliens, I don't think the two of you know any less than I do. Thor, the god of thunder, first appeared in New Mexico, bringing in a mechanical warrior supposedly Odin armor who nearly slaughtered a small town and made Earth's armed forces vulnerable to it......"
"There are also a lot of alien friends in New York, the alien wizard without a nose is one, and Thor's younger brother Loki is another, and every time they appear, they bring a lot of damage to the earth, which is a serious problem......"
"This doesn't include the information from S.H.I.E.L.D., yesterday the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., oh, the two of you may not know it yet, because Nick Fury was captured by Goofy, haha, you have a kind, Goofy......"
Tony didn't forget to gloat halfway through his speech.
"Since Nick Fury was captured by Goofy, the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is Maria Hill. Yesterday Director Hill came to see me, and she revealed that aliens had been to Earth more than a decade ago. The situation was very dangerous, and it even has an impact on the current situation......"
"All in all, the earth is in a very disadvantageous situation now, and there will be a disaster that will wipe out human civilization at any time, and we can't just rely on the protection of government departments, which are too bloated to deal with these emergencies......
"In addition, the authorities are often short-sighted, they can only see the immediate benefits, just like the growing number of superpowers in China, but I heard that some people in the military proposed to form an army of superpowers to deter foreign enemies......"
"The truth is often in the hands of a few, and we must form an organization to prevent disasters from happening in time......"
Speaking of this, Tony Stark stood up excitedly, he looked at Goofy and Reed, and said seriously: "I think that in the current world, only the three of us are qualified to get together and take on this heavy responsibility!" β
Reed Richards pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "I have to admit that I agree with what Mr. Stark said, I think that such an organization should indeed be established to deal with extraterrestrial threats; I also believe that efficiency can only be maximized by reducing the number of people β too much opinion is often detrimental to decision-making. β
Goofy looked up at Stark, then at Shen Stick, and suddenly realized what this "tea party" was all about!
Dude, I'm here at the site of the establishment of the "Illuminati"!
I became one of the three elders of the "Illuminati"?
At this time, Tony Stark and Reed Richards had already finished speaking, and Gao Fei didn't speak, both of them stared at Gao Fei, waiting for him to speak.
Gao Fei was stunned for a long time before realizing that he was being watched, coughed awkwardly, and asked, "Ahem, is there something wrong with you?" β
Stark frowned, "Goofy, please, what do you think of my proposal?" Establish an organization to save the planet and save humanity......"
"That's good." Goofy nodded.
"Very good...... Target? Tony Stark's face was full of black lines, "I'm asking if you want to join, Goofy, are you going to reject me again?" Come on, we're old friends. β
Tony has always been haunted by Goofy's refusal to join Stark Industries before, but considering that Goofy's ability really shouldn't just be Tony Stark's security guard, Tony admits it.
But now Tony wants to invite Goofy to be a partner, and the three of them work together to protect the earth, regardless of priority, so Goofy can't refuse him, right?
But Tony apparently didn't figure out Goofy's thoughts, Goofy had his own considerations.
Once he joins the Illuminati, there is no doubt that he will have to deal with a lot of mess, and Goofy stayed in the Marvel world only to protect his neighbors, and he has no ambition to save the world.
In addition, seeing that the order in New York is becoming more and more normal, and the Zetari army has also been stopped in outer space, as long as Carrie is trained to be the successor to protect the earth, Goofy can successfully retire and plan to travel back to the original world.
Joining the Illuminati has nothing to do with his plan......
βemmmβ¦β¦ Can I refuse? Since he and Stark are old friends, Goofy refused a little more tactfully this time.
Stark broke down when he heard this, and said depressedly, "What? Why are you rejecting me again? Is my plan not mature enough? Or is the relationship between us broken? β
This time, even Reed uncharacteristically stood on Stark's side and persuaded Gao Fei: "Officer Gao Fei, why do you want to refuse? Mr. Stark agrees with me that a targeted organization would be a better way to prevent an alien invasion...... And this organization can't do without you. β
Stark also nodded, "Yes, Goofy, if you didn't join, Reed and I wouldn't be able to talk together......"
Reed pouted in the same disgust: "I think so too." β
Goofy pinched his head in frustration.
"Headache, you two can't stop being so naΓ―ve? Everyone is an adult, is it so difficult to put aside prejudices? β
Speaking of Stark's father, Howard Stark, and Richards' father, Nathaniel Richards, they were once brothers who fought side by side, and the secret organization they belonged to was the famous "Aegis Brotherhood".
The two geniuses who don't like each other are world friends, but it's a pity that the two didn't have contact when they were children.
However, these two geniuses are so naΓ―ve, stalking and asking Gao Fei to join.
"Goofy, if you don't join, I won't form this organization anymore, it will be a loss for all mankind, and the earth is waiting to be occupied by aliens!" Stark said arrogantly.
"That's right, there's no need for me and Mr. Stark to work together separately anyway." Shen Stick De also played a little temper, and said with his hands on his chest.
"You two...... Too naΓ―ve, right? Gao Fei was speechless, the combined IQ of these two people is also over 500, how can they act like children?
"Let's join Goofy......"
"Join us, we need your ......"
Under the soft grinding and hard bubble of the two best friends, Goofy had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, good, join join ...... But I have one condition, I hate meetings the most, and you are not allowed to pull me to meetings at every turn......"
"Don't worry." Stark smiled and nodded, "I promise you." β
So, that evening, the Illuminati were officially established.
