Chapter 10 The Past Floats Clouds and a Cup of Wine
"You know?" Howard was shocked, he didn't expect Li Ping'an to know everything, which made him secretly shocked by Li Ping'an's methods.
And Lorraine also had a hint of resentment on her face at this moment, although Phillips asked her to use her identity to spy on Li Ping'an.
But it was only to prevent Li Ping'an from colluding with the people of the Third Reich, and for those who came from there, this was basic surveillance.
Among other things, Abraham's assistants had such men.
And it was only because of his special relationship with Li Ping'an that he was selected by Phillips to become Li Ping'an's supervisor.
But the task is limited to reporting some of Li Ping'an's whereabouts.
But after the Leke of the Finch family came, he began to let Phillips increase the task for himself in the name of national security, which finally led to the separation from Li Ping'an that winter.
Lorraine hated herself, and hated the damn Leke family even more.
Li Ping'an took in the reactions of the two people, and he didn't hide it, and said frankly.
"I was able to come to New York with a swagger, and naturally I relied on it, otherwise why would these mayors and bureau chiefs deal with me so intimately when they know that the Finch family wants to deal with me."
Hearing this, Howard suddenly felt that he still underestimated Li Ping'an, although he knew that Li Ping'an was not simple.
But that kind of cognition is limited to the recognition of Li Ping'an's strength.
Now Li Ping'an has shown the strength to grasp secular power, which makes him feel that he can't see through this friend even more.
But friends themselves are not meant to be understood, but to be connected, aren't they?
Howard laughed and said, "Looks like you could know this without me, which would be great, but it seems stupid to sneak up on telling you this." ”
He was so dissatisfied that he poured Li Ping'an a full glass of tequila, and touched the wine glass with Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an put it on Howard's shoulder, laughed, and drank the full wine in the cup.
Then he told Howard seriously: "Brother, I am very grateful that you can tell me this, it means a lot to me, it proves that I still have such a trustworthy friend as you in this world." ”
Then he picked up a whole bottle of whiskey and touched it with half a glass of tequila that Howard was holding.
Then drink it all down.
Li Ping'an's words made Howard feel very useful, and he was also infected by Li Ping'an's heroism, and he drained half a glass of whiskey in his hand.
Then he coughed violently a few times, and the alcohol Li Ping'an bought was not low, which made Howard, who was used to drinking low-alcohol alcohol, a little uncomfortable.
He coughed and said, "You fortified people are just different, drinking wine is the same as drinking water. If it weren't for the great risk of serum, I would have wanted to get an injection. ”
Li Ping'an said teasingly: "The other one you are talking about should be the Captain America who successfully injected the serum after me, Steve, to be honest, is the shield in his hand the vibranium you deducted from my armor back then." ”
Lorraine was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't know that the indestructible shield in the hands of the famous Captain America turned out to be leftovers from her sweetheart.
Howard was not embarrassed to be exposed, and he said proudly: "It's not just vibranium. ”
This also aroused the interest of Li Ping'an, who was a trial of vibranium and had a lot of say in vibranium.
So he also knew that the shield of the American team would never be a simple vibranium creation.
Because if it is pure vibranium, then it has the ability to absorb kinetic energy, and it is destined to not be able to do so much work.
For example, in the movie, the beautiful team practiced throwing shields as a skill, and a shield bounced around and could hit several enemies.
If it is pure vibranium, then after hitting the first person, the vibranium will absorb kinetic energy and then fall to the ground and will not bounce around.
Therefore, the shield of the American team must have other metals, so that it became a whole living weapon in the hands of the American team.
Looking at Li Ping'an's curious expression, Howard became even more proud, and creating something powerful naturally had the pleasure of success.
But if people who know how to affirm and praise themselves, then the happiness is more than half.
Especially for his showy temperament, applause and flowers can be said to be second only to the importance of life.
If he doesn't like to show off, then he doesn't need to hold any Stark Expo to attract attention.
He picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter, and began to pretend to taste it carefully.
Seeing that Li Ping'an's interest was completely aroused by himself, he said slowly.
"I used a lot of metal to transform vibranium into a better material, and this is one of my masterpieces."
Li Ping'an flattered at the right time: "You really deserve to be the best engineer in the United States, you are a genius." ”
For Li Ping'an's compliment, Howard was extremely useful: "That's nature, but that's not the metal I'm most proud of." ”
Speaking of this, Li Ping'an suddenly opened his mouth and said without warning: "Fastos." ”
Howard nodded: "That's right, I entered the Manhattan Project and met the engineer of the Eternals you mentioned, he is indeed extraordinary, and the two of us worked together to make an even more magical metal, which has both indestructible hardness and vibranium energy-absorbing properties, which is harder than Steve's shield I made before." ”
This made Li Ping'an extremely excited, since the vibranium battle armor and long knife were broken, he had no suitable battle armor and weapons.
Although the latest symbiote battle armor is excellent in all aspects, Li Ping'an is ready to use it as a hole card.
Originally, he wanted Howard to use vibranium to build a pair of armor for himself, but he didn't expect Howard to have better materials.
This made Li Ping'an's mind couldn't help but move.
"There's not a lot of that material left, I want to use it to make a warframe, and the vibranium armor from last time was destroyed by my enemies."
Li Ping'an said this sentence indifferently, but who knew that Howard and Lorraine who heard this sentence changed color in unison.
The peculiarity of vibranium Howard was aware, and it was not so easy to break it, and he didn't see the American team shuttling between the guns and guns at will, but his shield only lost a layer of paint, but there was no damage in itself.
I don't know what kind of tragic battle Li Ping'an has experienced, so that the vibranium armor will be shattered. He looked at Li Ping'an's eyes a little solemn.
Howard patted Li Ping'an's shoulder, his face was serious, as if he had made a solemn oath, and he said: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely build you another pair of the best armor in the world, a good partner worthy of trust on the battlefield!" ”
When Li Ping'an heard this, he wanted to smile himself, but the corners of his mouth could not be raised. In the end, he could only pat Howard on the shoulder with the same solemnity and nodded in acknowledgment.
There is no need to say anything at this time, the friendship between good men can be nodded and greeted, and it is too hypocritical to be polite.
And although Lorraine doesn't know how powerful vibranium is, he can know from Captain America's shield how strong vibranium is, and it must not have been easy to think of him in the past few years.
Lorraine couldn't help but reach out and touch Li Ping'an's cheek, his eyes were full of distress: "It looks like you've gone through a lot of hardships." ”
Li Ping'an opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But looking at Lorraine's eyes full of tenderness, he knew that he had been defeated, and he had been completely defeated.
If Lorraine had been indulging in prom socializing or had already had a significant other by the time of goodbye, he would not have chosen to come to New York; If Lorraine is still in the army, then if they still stand on the opposite side of each other when they meet again, then Li Ping'an will not choose to stay.
But Lorraine used the most stupid method, she insisted on loneliness in New York, the most prosperous city, and waited for herself, which made Li Ping'an unable to treat Lorraine ruthlessly.
But he couldn't love Lorraine as much as he used to, and he came this time to see her again and say goodbye to her.
But now is obviously not a good opportunity, because Howard quickly spoke, and he told Li Ping'an with a sincere expression: "I want to ask you for something." ”
"What's not to ask for, just say it." Li Ping'an waved his hand and said indifferently.
Howard looked a little in a dilemma at the moment, his lips moved a few times, and finally chose to speak: "Actually, Steve is a very good person, he actually doesn't want to be your enemy, if you are facing each other, I hope you can let him go." ”
Li Ping'an's expression became more solemn when he heard Howard say this, and he looked at Howard's slightly funny face, which made Howard a little cramped.
"I know you're merciless to your enemies, but trust me, Steve is different, he's a veteran of the struggle for world peace, a reliable and respectable man. It's just that some people with ulterior motives use him as a tool, even his wife, so I hope you can help him and not let him die meaninglessly for the dirty interests of politicians. You should not be enemies. ”
Seeing Li Ping'an looking at him with a serious face, Howard was a little uncertain: "I know, you ......"
"I promise you, Howard." Li Ping'an interrupted Howard's words and said with a smile.
Howard looked at Li Ping'an incredulously, because he didn't expect his biggest concern to be solved like this, and he didn't expect Li Ping'an to speak so well.
"You're a friend to be trusted, Howard. If I were Steve, I would feel lucky to have a friend like you. Li Ping'an looked at Howard with appreciation.
He really thinks that Howard's friend is indeed worthy of trust, usually cynical, but he treats his friends sincerely, if it was himself in his previous life, he would never have anything to do with an upper-class person like Howard in his life.
But in this life, he became a friend and learned that he was reliable, which was also one of the joys of being reborn.
Steve's guy is really miserable, and the agent's girlfriend doesn't really love him that much, she is more pitiful than herself, and she really deserves respect.
Although he couldn't see anything in the early stage, since the moment he refused to participate in the Sokovia agreement, his whole image in the hearts of the audience has been sublimated.
From a puppet of the US government, he has become a hero with more flesh and blood and noble ideas.
So Li Ping'an is not disgusted with Captain America, if it is an enemy, it is good to kill him or let him go, it is a matter of convenience.
Now that Howard has said it, it's nothing to let him go. So he readily agreed to Howard.
At this time, a sudden change occurred.
Li Ping'an sensed an evil and familiar fluctuation in the venue, and a woman's terrible scream instantly sounded from the back of the hall, causing a commotion in the venue.
