Phil left.
He didn't agree to the proposal, but he didn't object either.
Luke could only shake his head and go back with the empty bottle and plate. Old men were so pretentious! He wanted it, but he didn't say it. He had to be the one to take the initiative.
In fact, he knew why Phil was here.
With his and Tony's support, the new S.H.I.E.L.D. base was already in the water.
After that, Phil would be busy with the new base for a while.
Tony hadn't built the underwater base yet.
Firstly, he didn't need it as urgently as Phil. Secondly, he wanted to build one for Phil to practice and gain experience.
Of course, Phil wasn't losing out.
Most of the materials for this underwater base were half-sold and half-given by Tony and the bigshot, and the technology was provided for free.
Even so, the cost price was three billion dollars.
If Tony were to sell it to the US military, the price would be at least ten times higher, and he would have to dismantle a lot of good stuff, such as the arc reactor.
Compared with Cobra's first base, the new S.H.I.E.L.D. base had been greatly improved.
First of all, it was much more mobile and strong.
The price was that it was only one-third the size of the one Luke had snatched.
However, Luke's base was used as a processing plant, while Phil's was a logistics and combat fortress. This change was very reasonable.
The new base was well-concealed and had strong logistics capabilities.
Asia wasn't their area of activity. This fortress only needed to move around the Atlantic Ocean to take care of large areas in Europe, the United States, and Africa.
That way, it wouldn't be a problem for the new S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry out large-scale operations in most parts of the world.
Although the standard capacity of a medium-sized base was only 500 people, and a thousand combat troops could be crammed in in an emergency, it was enough.
Phil's new S.H.I.E.L.D. now had around two thousand people.
Even if it expanded a little later, this base would be enough for three to five years.
When there were more people, it wouldn't be too late to open a second underwater base.
That was how modern industrial society worked.
As long as the first product was finalized, it would be much easier to produce it on a large scale.
In the future, when the new S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, and Bat Squad met on their underwater base, they might even be able to greet each other with signal lights.
…
It was a pleasant gathering with family. Two days later, Tony sent a piece of good news.
After hearing the news, Luke replied in surprise, "You took back Loki's scepter?"
He was actually a little depressed, but in the end, he still wished the Avengers a complete victory. He only secretly noted down the female agent in his heart.
What a joke! Natasha had shared more than twenty thousand experience and credit points with him not long ago.
She was a 1-star teammate, so the sharing rate was 10%. This meant that the total experience and credit points for the mission to retrieve the Rocky Scepter were more than 200,000.
If Luke joined in, he would be able to get tens of thousands of points.
On the other side, Tony sent out an invitation to hold a celebratory reception. The Avengers would all be participating.
"Coincidentally," the second generation of Thor had slipped to Earth to meet with Dr. Jane and "conveniently" participated in this mission.
Tony suggested that Bale show his face. After all, no one else knew that Batman looked like that.
Luke thought for a moment and chuckled coldly. "I'm not going." He then hung up.
You didn't even call me for such a large sum of experience and credit points. What kind of teammates are you?
Furthermore, was Old Master Lu someone who would move with a single shout? How embarrassing that would be!
The scepter was brought to Earth by Loki, and it was taken away by Tony during the battle in New York. Now, the two second generations of Tony were going to argue for a long time.
Luke wasn't their real father, and couldn't be bothered to be a referee for these two giant cosmic babies.
In the next few days, Luke continued to train his youngest sister, Cindy, in his hometown. One of his clones wandered around to earn points, and the other focused on improving the nano armor.
Suddenly, Ah Fu sent him urgent news.
Luke frowned as he watched Green Fatty wreak havoc in a city on TV.
Then, he looked at the location … Well, it was in the port city of Sarvaju in Kenya, Africa.
If he rushed over now, Green Fatty would have already had enough of a fight.
However, a familiar figure very quickly appeared on the screen.
An enormous golden-red armor, whose real name was Anti-Hulk Armor and alias was Veronica, descended from the sky and formed a classic red and green color scheme with Green Fatty. The moment the two of them faced each other, they fought.
Luke thought for a moment, then chose to send a communication request to Natasha.
The female agent was good at hiding and was good at gathering intelligence. She should know what was going on.
A man's voice rang out on the other end. "No matter who you are, it's not convenient for the owner of this number to listen to you right now."
Luke instantly found the corresponding person in the voiceprint database in his head. "Hawkeye? I'm Knight. What's wrong with Natasha? "
Hawkeye was silent for a few seconds before he quickly said, "We ran into one, well, two troublesome enemies. One of them can interfere with our minds and create illusions. We're not in the right mood right now. "
Luke asked, "What about you?"
"Hia ~" Hawkeye smiled self-deprecatingly. "This isn't the first time I've run into someone like this."
Luke thought for a moment, and realized that Hawkeye was referring to Loki's mind control. "I should be able to solve this problem. But it'll be at least six hours before we get there … "
Hawkeye said, "Then we'll contact you after we're done here?"
Luke said, "Okay, be careful. Okay, take care of Natasha. "
Hawkeye didn't say anything else and hung up, but he mumbled to himself, Why does this guy seem to have something going on with Natasha? But … what about Banner? That guy is messing around outside right now!
In less than ten minutes, the battered Anti-Hulk Armor flew away with Dr. Banner, who had returned to his human form.
Luke curled his lip. Dr. Banner was in big trouble this time, and the Avengers were in big trouble too.
Green Fatty had charged into a city without any enemies and wreaked havoc. A conservative estimate was that hundreds of people had been killed or injured.
Tony had gone quickly and hadn't given Green Fatty much time to show off, but international public opinion definitely wouldn't be good.
The live TV broadcast was the most direct evidence, and it was impossible to cover it up.
When Tony reported the good news a few days ago, Luke had checked their movements.
Last time, the Avengers had gone all out and fought their way into Sokovia in Eastern Europe.
That wasn't much for Tony, who wanted to retrieve Loki's scepter himself.
Natasha had been tracking Hydra in Europe for the last two years.
Back then, she had packed a lot of intelligence on Cobra from Luke, and found clues about a certain branch of Hydra, which led her to a Hydra stronghold in Sokovia.
For the Avengers, attacking Sokovia's Hydra stronghold was a new grudge against an old enemy. Even the steady Captain Steve didn't have any objections.
But this operation had touched a nerve in Europe and Russia, and both sides were quite dissatisfied.
Sokovia was a buffer zone between the two. They supported each other and fought in the name of inciting each other, but didn't openly intervene.
Who knew if the Avengers' sudden appearance meant that the American authorities wanted to directly intervene in Sokovia and create a new source of chaos?
