Stark Industrial Building.

After the crisis in Los Santos was resolved, the crowd accepted Stark's invitation to a celebratory party.

"Let's celebrate!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Smack! Smack......"

The crisp sound of glass clashing sounded in the hall one after another, and everyone held their wine glasses high and collided together.

After everyone had drunk all the wine in their glasses, they sat back down one after another, and the atmosphere became lively.

Anyway, they are teammates who have fought side by side, and with the spice of wine, everyone quickly became acquainted.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Stark said what he had been thinking about for a long time on the plane.

"I believe everyone knows that with the development of the platform, players have become a force to be reckoned with when they are united."

"I studied the skill chip, and I have to say that this is also an epoch-making technology product."

"It makes it easy for a person to acquire a skill."

"Especially after the opening of several special professions, there will be more and more people on the earth who have obtained super powers."

Stark paused, and looked around at the expressions of Merlin and the others.

"So...... In order not to make the situation too serious, we will respond to the crisis of the earth more quickly. ”

"We're going to unite and form a team, too!"

"On the one hand, it is to deal with the crisis of the earth, find the people behind the platform, and on the other hand, to stop the player from committing crimes!"

"At this time, the strength of one person alone is too weak, and we can learn from each other's strengths."

"Now there are more than 100 billion in the platform and I don't know how to spend it."

With that, he picked up a glass of sake and drank it, but his eyes kept rolling to observe the expressions of the others.

Hearing Stark's proposal, Natasha and Hawkeye couldn't help but glance at each other, their expressions a little subtle.

They remember that Director Fury also invited Stark with the Avengers plan, but now the other party plans to form a superhero team on his own.

Uncle Punishment and John also pondered for themselves, considering the pros and cons of the matter.

…………

There was silence at the wine table for a while, and under Stark's somewhat nervous gaze, it was John, the long-standing lone killer, who spoke first.

"What about the specific responsibilities of the team? To whom do you want to do your bidding? ”

John is still more interested in this article, mainly because recently someone from the Italian gang found him with a blood pact and asked him to go to Rome to assassinate the reigning queen Gianna.

Although he is not interested in such a thing as family infighting, he can't refuse in the face of the love debt of the blood contract.

Therefore, although he is tired of killing, he must increase his strength to the maximum extent when he is involved in this matter.

Whether it's the Killer League or the Italian gangsters, it's not something he can afford to mess with alone.

That's why he was involved in the game of Los Santos.

Although he obtained the memory deduction chip, his strength has increased greatly, but he feels that it is not enough.

And Stark's proposal in front of him just gave him this opportunity.

Whether it's Stark Industries or the teammates around you, with their help, you don't have to worry too much about facing the Killer League and the Italian gangsters.

Merlin and the others also looked over.

Seeing that no one opened his mouth to refuse, Stark made up his mind, and immediately organized a language to speak: "The responsibility of our team is only to fight criminals and protect the safety of citizens. ”

"And when there's no danger, people can do their own thing."

"But in order to make sure that everyone can gather in time, I can arrange a special accommodation for you in Stark Tower or the surrounding area."

"If everyone has any trouble, they can also come to me to deal with it."

"Like a bounty or something."

"Of course, specifically, I will make a report, and you can decide for yourself after reading it." He breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the couch and waited.

"What about the attitude towards criminals? I only have to kill them all here, I don't believe in any laws. Uncle Punishment suddenly spoke.

As an anti-superhero, his ruthless, bloody and cruel approach has always been criticized.

If you join the team, you will definitely be the target of external attack.

"With me, I can find the best lawyer, and the criminals will receive the most severe punishment!"

"Frank, I know your past, and I'm sorry, but what you're doing is too extreme." Stark didn't have any surprises, but he still had some headaches.

"If you'll take my word for it......"

"Then I can only refuse!" Uncle Punishment shook his head decisively and rejected Stark.

"No problem, I respect your choice!" Stark said calmly, spreading his hands.

"Let's go back and talk to our director." Natasha pondered for a moment and replied.

"I'll think about it after I've read the report." John didn't immediately agree.

Stark grinned, not bad, at least one of them was willing to join.

"Uh...... Don't you ask me? Merlin, who had taken a sip of juice, suddenly waved his hand and asked in a low voice.

Stark glanced at him, "You just drink the juice!" ”

Merlin: "............"

Although he knew that the other party didn't want to get involved, he still wanted to punch him twice.

…………

After the party, everyone leaves Stark Mansion with thoughtful expressions, and Merlin returns home.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, a tall figure made him stiffen.

"Hahaha...... What a coincidence, I got off work so early today? Merlin greeted with some embarrassment.

It was George who was blocking his door.

"It's past eleven o'clock, it's not too early!"

"Open the door!" George tilted his head and motioned for Merlin to open the door.

Merlin: "............"

…………

"Didn't you work for Hammer Industries? How did you get to Los Santos? ”

"How many times have I told you, these things are not for you to be involved in!"

"Your aunt and I are worried about you......"

…………

Reprimands and admonishments continued to sound in the living room, and it was not until Mrs. Stacy and Gwen came to persuade them that George returned to his next house with Merlin's sincere expression.

…………

"Whew...... Finally it quieted down. Merlin, who had finished washing, lay on the bed with a tired face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Well...... Dare next time.

After his mind calmed down, his mind began to immerse himself in the system.
