Chapter 036 Invitation
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第036章 请柬
As the father of journalists, Wang Bo naturally had no habit of indulging his own son.
Even if the reporters were raising a ruckus outside, Wang Bo would not go out.
Although the reporters wanted to rush in, the problem was that Hammer Industries had a very comprehensive security team—a group of fierce-looking men in black suits standing outside.
Even the most impulsive reporter would think twice about whether their body could withstand the impact.
So they could only obediently stand at the entrance of Hammer Industries, waiting for an opportunity.
On the other hand.
Bang bang bang...
With a knock on the door, a blonde woman walked in from outside. "Boss."
"Julia, it's you. What's the matter?" asked Wang Bo, who was yawning.
After Black Widow Natasha was fired, Wang Bo lost his secretary, so he simply called back Julia, who had been in charge of the spaceship, to continue serving as his secretary.
Anyway, since the spaceship had been shelved by Wang Bo, Julia had nothing to do, so she readily agreed to Wang Bo's request.
Moreover, she was just a secretary and naturally could not defy her boss's orders.
"I have an invitation here." Julia walked over and placed an invitation on Wang Bo's desk.
"Whose invitation?" Wang Bo said as he picked up the invitation and opened it to take a look. There was only a brief sentence inside: Welcome to my party.
What surprised Wang Bo even more was that the signature was actually Tony Stark.
"When was the invitation delivered?" Wang Bo asked.
"Not long ago," Julia said. "The person who delivered the invitation was Tony Stark's bodyguard and driver, Happy Hogan."
Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh. "Tony Stark actually invited me to his party. What do you think, Julia?"
Julia did not know that Wang Bo had once helped Tony Stark when he was kidnapped. Instead, she said cautiously, "Since Tony Stark shut down the weapons division, Stark Industries has plummeted and lost its glory. I think he might be trying to curry favor with you, boss?"
The last sentence was not a statement but a question.
It was clear that Julia was not entirely confident in her guess.
"Curry favor with me?" Wang Bo laughed. "Do you think that arrogant Tony Stark would curry favor with me?"
Julia thought about it and said dejectedly, "Boss, I can't figure out what Tony Stark is thinking. He's a genius, and I can't understand a genius's mind."
Wang Bo smiled slightly. "No matter what he's thinking, we'll find out by going to see."
"Boss, are you going to attend this party?" She remembered that her boss used to hate Tony Stark, and although he rarely mentioned him now, he didn't seem to have much goodwill toward him.
Wang Bo said leisurely, "Since he rarely invites me, it might be good to go and see."
Of course, the main reason was that he was really idle. Since he had nothing to do at home in the evening, he might as well meet Tony Stark and see what he was up to.
"Okay, boss, I'll make the arrangements right away." Julia immediately took action.
"Wait."
Wang Bo suddenly called her back. Julia turned to look at Wang Bo and asked, "Is there anything else, boss?"
"Has anyone come to you recently, asking about your kidnapping?" Wang Bo asked.
Julia nodded. "On the night I returned, two police officers did come to ask about it, but I managed to brush them off."
"Two police officers?" Wang Bo asked. "What did they look like?"
"One was a very beautiful woman with red hair, and the other was a middle-aged man with a high hairline who looked very kind."
Wang Bo nodded. If he wasn't mistaken, those two were Coulson and Natasha. S.H.I.E.L.D. had actually sent both of them out; it seemed they took this matter very seriously.
"What questions did they ask?"
"They asked where I had been these past few days. I said I went on a trip."
"That's a really lousy excuse." Wang Bo didn't hesitate to criticize.
Julia said aggrievedly, "I couldn't think of any other good excuse, boss."
"Didn't they suspect anything?"
"I insisted that I went on a trip, and they couldn't do anything about it, boss."
"And then?"
"They left after failing to get any useful information." Julia said this quite proudly.
Wang Bo rubbed his temples. "Forget it. Just go and prepare."
Julia nodded and left the office.
Wang Bo watched Julia's retreating figure, knowing full well that her excuse was too flimsy. S.H.I.E.L.D. would not give up so easily.
They would definitely find ways to make Julia talk.
But as long as they didn't use violence or torture on Julia, Wang Bo wouldn't interfere. After all, if this matter came to light, it wouldn't be Wang Bo who should worry, but Hydra.
...
In the evening, Wang Bo was very low-key on the rooftop of Hammer Industries.
It had been cleaned spotlessly by Julia. Originally, a helicopter was parked here, but in the afternoon, Julia had it flown away.
Now, the spacious rooftop was empty.
After making sure no one was around, he took out a spaceship from his fourth-dimensional pocket.
This spaceship was built by Wang Bo in the Time Villa, once exhibited at a press conference, and later collected by Wang Bo.
As for the spaceships manufactured in the factory outside, they had long been blown up by Wang Bo.
This spaceship should be the only one—no, actually, there were a few more spaceships left in the Time Villa that hadn't been taken out.
So in the eyes of outsiders, this was the only spaceship.
Wang Bo entered the spaceship and had Miss Friday pilot it. The spaceship vibrated slightly, silently breaking free from Earth's gravity, slowly hovering in the sky, and heading toward the party venue.
Tony Stark's party was held at Stark Tower.
When the pitch-black spaceship broke through the night sky, like a black ghost appearing at the party scene in Stark Tower, countless people gasped.
Soon, the spaceship descended slowly.
The hatch opened, and Wang Bo made a dashing entrance. Looking at Tony Stark at the center of the crowd, he smiled slightly, his voice low but forceful.
"I'm not late, am I?"
Tony Stark, dressed in a suit and holding a wine glass, parted the crowd and walked over. Looking at the spaceship behind Wang Bo, he couldn't help but say, "Now that is cool~~~"
