Phil, who had been struck blows by a heartless nephew and a heartless old friend, calmed down.
It wasnât that he was afraid, but that he once again recognized New SHIELDâs position.
In gaming terms, the Avengers and the Bat Squad were all hero units, while New SHIELD was a small barrack.
It wasnât hard for dozens of soldiers who had leveled up to take on a lone hero who had yet to level up.
But in the face of dozens of rookie heroes, even hundreds of soldiers wouldnât be able to take them down.
!!
The agentsâ biggest use was still as support.
Whether it was gathering intelligence and making preparations beforehand, providing firepower support in battle, helping clean up the mess later, or even tracking down the enemy for the final blow, all of these were necessary operations.
Of course, Phil wouldnât feel dejected because of this.
Luke had put in a lot of effort to prevent his uncle from dying for no reason.
If he had an excuse, he would give him some equipment, and if he didnât have an excuse, he would make one up.
After a few years, Phil had a full set of equipment and the basic Kunlun Chi Refining Technique. He was definitely a hero who had leveled up several times.
It was just that Knight and Big Dipper mocked him as a weakling many times in private. In any case, Phil didnât have the confidence to say stupid things like âIâm super brave.â
Not only had Batman lectured a certain tycoon back then, the latter was even made to do âleg splits.â From this, one could see how generous Luke was when it came to Phil.
So, after saying that New SHIELD would send whatever intelligence it had to the Avengers and the Bat Squad, Phil decisively left.
Once Tony and Knight started bickering, the people around them would always get caught up in it.
Phil didnât want the tycoon to think about âLanie.â This involved a certain personâs dark history of going to a bar to dance in womenâs clothes and almost being locked up by another man.
After he left, Tony and Lukeâs expressions eased.
Werner was actually very troublesome. The two of them werenât as relaxed as they appeared in front of Phil.
However, they represented the two strongest superhero forces, and had to be cautious with the outside world.
New SHIELD wouldnât be able to handle the pressure.
So, they only shared some information and told Phil to be more vigilant so that he didnât run into Werner.
Tony picked up the bottle and topped up their glasses with wine again. âThere hasnât been much progress on the detectors for the parasites and Inhumans.â
He was a little depressed when he said that.
In the past, he would be hit with inspiration and would be able to solve a problem, but this time, it didnât happen.
This was too different from his main research focus, and he had to develop a full detection system from scratch.
This really wasnât something that could be resolved with a flash of inspiration â it would take at least 100 flashes.
Luke took a sip of the wine he had just poured. âMan proposes, God disposes.â
He spoke in Chinese.
Tony asked, âWhat does that mean?â
Luke said, âWeâll do our share. The rest is up to God.â
Tony snorted. âI remember you saying that you believe in Buddhism, which is why you donât kill people. Isnât it too late to hope for Godâs blessing?â
Luke downed his wine and then put the glass down. âWhat Iâm saying is that you should pray that God doesnât bless Werner. After all, heâs not even human.â
Tony was lost for words â he couldnât argue with that.

What the tycoon didnât know was that while the Level 2 clone was drinking with him, the Level 1 clone in Europe had found something.
âLittle pudding, Gideon is here.â Dr. Haley jumped excitedly on him from where she was sitting on the couch.
Because she would try all sorts of tricks when she was leaning on him, the Joker had recently been staying two meters away from her.
Luke opened his eyes and looked at the tablet which Haley handed to him.
On it, Gideon was hugging his daughter, Stephanie, in front of a building.
Luke glanced at it. âDo you notice any problems?â
Haley didnât think much of it. âGuerra isnât there. Heâs Gideonâs personal bodyguard. He practically never leaves his big boss.â
At that point, she exclaimed, âIsnât this a good opportunity for us?â
Luke waved his hand and smiled. âDonât be hasty. The most important thing for a person is to be happy, but patience is indispensable before the start of a game. Otherwise, youâll be much less happy.â
Haley stuck to him and brushed her lips over his ear. âCan you let me play with that Werner?â
Pa!
Luke smacked her. âHow can you play with an alien you know nothing about? Itâs more like itâll be playing with you.â
Haley gave a light cry. Feeling the burning pain, she went limp. âGideon and Stephanie should be very useful to it. WeâŠâ
Pa!
Luke interrupted her wishful thinking. âShould? I donât believe that itâs hard for an alien to abandon two Earthlings.â
Looking at the female doctor who was in pain, he rubbed her. âDid the psychology you studied ever say that aliens and Earthlings are the same?â
The female doctor snorted and replied in a low voice, âNo.â
Luke rubbed harder. âSo, youâre not qualified to play with it until you find its weakness.â
The female doctor rolled her eyes. âLit~ tle~ pud~ ding~â
Pa!
Luke couldnât help but interrupt the call that gave him goosebumps.
The female doctor trembled in pain. After a long while, she said, âYouâve only been talking about me, so you definitely have a way to catch it. Can you tell me?â
Luke said, âItâs a secret. Can you guarantee you wonât tell anyone else?â
The female doctorâs eyes lit up. âI can.â
Luke nodded appreciatively. âSo can I.â
The female doctor waited for a moment, but didnât hear him continue. She suddenly realized that this d*mn guy was playing with her.
When she realized this, she couldnât wait to get up and bite him.
But the burning pain in her rear made her feel weak. Forget it, she should take a break first. What if she was despised again if her skin was affected by her staying up late?
After all, the game was only for a moment, but beauty was for a lifetime.

Two hours later, Haley put on a red and blue swimsuit and jumped into the swimming pool in the backyard.
Agony was still staying with the husky for the time being, and couldnât regulate her hormones.
Of course, she didnât want them adjusted at all, since it would make her lose all joy.
The fire in her heart gradually calmed down, and she finally immersed herself in her night swim.
After swimming more than ten laps, Haley finally stopped and came out.
Then, she felt that something wasnât right.
She suddenly turned around, only to see a black-and-white figure looking down at her from the side of the pool.
Alarmed, Haley asked in fear, âWho⊠who are you?â
