Seeing Li Chuan's bewildered expression, Wanda suddenly chuckled again.
"It's not like we're living there forever anyway, and there's nothing wrong with seeing other countries!"
She hated the United States, hated Stark Industries.
Especially every time she saw news about that playboy on TV, and then compared it to her and her brother's painful experiences as orphans all these years, recalling those two days and two nights of terror, she wished she could pay any price to gain power, to destroy that country, to destroy that playboy.
However, that was her three years ago.
Li Chuan's appearance, beautiful love, and current happy life had gradually allowed her to let go of her hatred.
She also understood that those missiles were indeed manufactured by Stark Industries, but it wasn't that playboy or the innocent civilians of that country who launched the missiles, but rather those ugly politicians and generals.
She couldn't let herself live in hatred forever because of this, afraid to face a new life.
So, compared to not wanting to settle in New York, she even less wanted her lover, Li Chuan, to fly back and forth between two countries every day; that was too exhausting.
Moreover, just now she only showed a little aversion, and Li Chuan immediately changed his mind, which made her feel truly happy.
As a qualified wife, she shouldn't hold Li Chuan back, but rather support him in achieving his career goals.
"You don't mind taking me along, do you? I also want to see the big city of New York; they should need delivery people there too."
At this moment, Pietro interjected with a smile.
He only had his sister as a relative, so naturally, he couldn't be too far away.
And he was also the person who understood his sister's personality best. Don't look at Wanda, who usually seemed well-behaved and had a good personality, appearing clumsy when learning to cook; in reality, Wanda's inner self was somewhat extreme.
Before, Wanda's hatred for Stark was even stronger than his.
He also hated Stark to death, hated that playboy, but to be honest, if that playboy were tied in front of him, he might not be able to bring himself to kill the other party.
But three years ago, Wanda definitely could have.
So he was truly grateful for Li Chuan's appearance, which allowed Wanda's hatred to fade.
However, just in case, he felt that he still shouldn't be too far from Wanda. After all, Li Chuan was just an ordinary person with a kind personality and didn't know that Wanda possessed some special abilities.
If Wanda got emotional one day and went to seek revenge on Stark again, that would be troublesome.
"You… alright, you're very welcome. Pietro, you actually don't have to deliver packages; I can introduce you to a better job."
Li Chuan looked at Wanda and Pietro, suddenly understood something in his heart, and then nodded with some emotion.
He had overlooked one thing: because of his appearance three years ago, many things had actually deviated from the original timeline.
When considering matters, he could no longer make assumptions based entirely on some information from the movies he had seen in his previous life.
If he had really acted according to his plan before entering, perhaps the mission would not have been completed at all, and it would have brought very bad consequences instead.
Sometimes, missions that don't rely on force are more difficult to complete than those that can be handled simply by being strong.
To be honest, he preferred to go in with real swords and guns rather than calculating back and forth, but sometimes, to complete a mission, he had to use his brain more.
"Oh, there's no need for that. You know my only advantage is that I run faster. Compared to sitting in an office in front of a computer, I prefer to deliver packages."
Pietro shrugged and laughed.
He wasn't refusing out of self-esteem, but rather genuinely preferred jobs like delivering packages. This kind of work was much easier for him than other jobs, and he didn't have to use his brain.
"Hurry up and eat; my carefully cooked meal is going to get cold soon!"
While the two were talking, Wanda scooped a large spoonful of Asturian stew for each of her two dearest relatives.
After dinner, Pietro said goodbye and left, leaving only Li Chuan and Wanda in the living room.
"Darling, you go upstairs and take a bath first; I'll clean up these dishes."
Wanda re-tied her apron, preparing to start washing dishes.
However, before the apron was even tied, Li Chuan stepped forward, picked Wanda up in his arms, and directly headed upstairs to the second floor.
"The company has nothing tomorrow, so I'll help you clean up in the morning. For now, I prefer us to bathe together!"
They say a short separation makes the heart grow fonder. For Wanda, she had only been separated from Li Chuan for less than a day, but for Li Chuan, it had been a full three months.
So, this night was destined to be sleepless.
A month later, inside a secret Base on the outskirts of Sokovia.
Li Chuan quickly formed hand signs in front of a specially made target:
"Serpent – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Immediately, a large fireball spewed from his mouth, crashing fiercely forward.
"Boom!"
The specially made fire-resistant metal target was not burned, but it was clearly twisted somewhat.
"I've temporarily learned it, but to unleash its full power, there's still a long way to go!"
He reached out and clicked on the nearby machine responsible for detection and recording, and the machine immediately reported the test results:
"Fireball diameter 2.1 meters, temperature 3200 degrees, impact force…"
Looking at the data above, Li Chuan shook his head secretly.
According to Chiriku's teaching, the same Ninjutsu would have different power when performed by different Ninja. The understanding of Ninjutsu, the control of Chakra, and the amount of Chakra, etc., would all affect the final power of the released Ninjutsu.
Just like this Great Fireball Technique, he estimated that if Itachi were to release it, the diameter would be at least ten meters, and if it were Madara, it might even be hundreds of meters.
"I still need to spend more time practicing."
Originally, after returning last time, he planned to settle in New York within a week, but Dr. Smith and Dr. Lister had just made progress in their research on soldier pillss.
So, he slowed down his timeline.
Firstly, he wanted to wait for the two Doctors to research new products for the company, and then use the release of new products to open up the market in New York.
Secondly, Sokovia was, after all, the main Base, and many things were convenient here. For example, when he practiced Ninjutsu now, he could go to the secret Base he had built long ago.
But if he went to New York, it wouldn't be so convenient.
Moreover, as the most prosperous metropolis in the United States, New York had many S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, HYDRA Agents, superheroes, and various hidden chaotic forces.
Learning the Great Fireball Technique and Shadow Clone Technique would better ensure his safety if anything happened.
"Boss, Dr. Smith is looking for you. He said the new medicine has been successfully developed."
Just as Li Chuan was about to continue practicing the Great Fireball Technique, Xiao Liu's voice came from the machine.
"Understood. Tell him to wait for me in the office."
Hearing that the new medicine had been successfully developed, Li Chuan's eyes lit up. He retracted the Chakra within his body and turned to leave the training room.
He had already mastered both the Shadow Clone Technique and the Great Fireball Technique. Now, if the new medicine was good, he could immediately head to New York.
