Chapter 159: Promise
Thomas's family has undergone changes in the elixir they have cultivated by taking dragon blood in the battle of Harros New York, of course, compared to others, Thomas has naturally received the least improvement due to his outstanding body and strength.
He has been practicing in a special room now, probably because of the Saiyan bloodline, he has been suppressed for a long time, and he has a feeling of desperately wanting someone to fight.
But the strength is too weak to withstand his beating, and his grandfather can let him explode with all his strength without any scruples, but his grandfather has little interest in practicing with him, a 'little child', and now he doesn't know where he has gone. It can make him lift a little bit of spirit, Captain America, as if he is going to accompany his girlfriend who has slept for decades.
As for his own wife and parents, they have a bit of strength now, but their strength is too far behind their own, and they can't be so ruthless to them, after all, they are his relatives and lovers, and his current control is still a little weaker, and I'm really afraid that I will hurt them.
While Thomas was busy practicing, Catherine began to help Mathis and Emma manage the company. Although she was very interested in the strength she actually had, she was not a cultivator like Thomas.
Mathis and Emma are used to talking about their days, so they just pay attention to practice from time to time, but they don't practice as diligently as Thomas.
"Young master, there's a guy outside who calls himself Nick. Fury's people want to see you." An old man knocked on the door of Thomas's training room.
This old man has always served the Mathis family, and Thomas is the old man who grew up.
Thomas leaned bare-chested against the doorway, his body constantly emitting heat and water droplets as if steaming. He frowned and thought about it, this name is so familiar, and suddenly it occurred to him that the S.H.I.E.L.D. director is not this name.
"What is he doing here?" Thomas muttered as he took the towel handed by the old butler and wiped the sweat from his body.
"Young master, are you going to take a shower first, and I'll entertain you first?" When the old housekeeper saw Thomas's reaction, he knew that the young master knew someone who was coming, so he said.
Thomas thought for a moment and asked, "Oh, no, I'm going to see him like this, he's in the living room now, right?"
"Yes, young master." The old butler took the towel that Thomas handed him, and then handed over another dry towel.
The two chatted and walked and soon came to the living room.
"Busy Director of the National People's Congress, what's the matter with coming here to find me?" Thomas naturally sat on Fury and looked at him.
The old butler took a teapot from the servant's hand, and then added tea to Fury and then Thomas.
When it comes to the habit of drinking tea, Thomas really didn't have it before, it's a habit he learned after meeting Harros.
Not to mention, the tea is indeed full of bitterness and astringency when you drink it in your mouth at the beginning, but after two more sips and then a careful aftertaste, it really has the sweet flavor that Haros said.
Of course, this is just the public drinking method of Haros who does not understand the tea ceremony, and the general tea drinking will pay attention to the tea set and water quality, and there are certain steps for tea tasting.
However, Haros only pays attention to doing tea as he likes, and if he really wants to make it so complicated, he has no interest in drinking tea.
Thomas was a little unaccustomed to drinking at first, but after a while of Harros's flickering, he began to like tea.
Haros said how can you also have some Chinese ancestry, how can you even drink something as bad as coffee, but you don't like tea! Moreover, there are many benefits of drinking tea, and it can also cultivate a person's heart.
So out of admiration for Harros, Thomas hired a tea ceremony master to guide him in the tea ceremony.
As a Chinese-American, the tea ceremony master has always done his best to carry forward the quintessence of the Chinese tea ceremony. He is well aware that these foreign high society people have a sense of comparison and vanity.
And they often attend meetings from time to time, so that they do not show their ignorance when they meet, and they naturally go to learn about the skill or culture.
The master of the tea ceremony also knew that Thomas's family background was extraordinary, and his relationship with Stark Industries was extraordinary, which is why he put his son down and settled here.
Thomas's tea skills have improved during this time, and he is still waiting for when his grandfather will come back to discuss it with him. But if he knew that his grandfather's so-called tea art was completely fooling him, he could only smile bitterly.
Fury is an experienced agent, and he actually knows a thing or two about Chinese tea art. I saw that he didn't drink it directly after picking up the teacup, but first put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, and then took a shallow sip of tea and said, "Good tea!"
"The chief also understands tea?" Thomas was thirsty now, but he didn't take a cup of tea carefully.
His eyes had always been on the lookout for Fury's reaction, so he was curious about his reaction. A black man sipping tea, this scene is a bit weird no matter how you think about it.
"Ahem, I came to you for something today, is your grandfather there?" Fury was defeated by Thomas's strange gaze and directly stated the purpose.
As for mentioning his grandfather, he also hopes that Warrior Z will come forward.
In his mind, Soldier Z is one of the best combat forces in the world, not to mention that he has the experience of fighting with Captain America in World War II, thinking about it, it is very likely to be moved.
"If you're looking for my grandfather, you're going to be disappointed, he's in retreat." Thomas looked at the other party's disbelieving eyes, and then continued: "My grandfather's strength is based on the Eastern cultivation method, and it is not surprising that he has been in retreat for decades or hundreds of years."
Fury remembered the decades when Warrior Z disappeared and the legend about the practice of Eastern China, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"Well, I'm here for you today." Fury said and recounted the information.
"Do you want me to make a move this time, or join Aegis?" Thomas moved his neck from side to side and then said.
"If possible, of course I hope you can join Aegis." Fury observed Thomas's unmoved expression, and then continued: "Of course you don't want to, I don't force it, but this incident is really strict, I hope you can join."
Fury saw Thomas stunned for a while, ready to say something more.
"That's enough, I agreed to what you said, but I still have something to arrange, and I understand that someone will come to pick me up." Thomas suddenly figured out that this was a good opportunity to vent.
When Fury was about to say a few more words, Thomas stood up and turned to leave.
