Superman

Luke returned to New York before nightfall.

He is still living in the tower suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and has no place to change.

"The next step is asset layout."

Regarding the business investment plan, Luke had already sketched out a rough outline in his mind and planned to talk to Howard about cooperation in a while. He believed that the other party would definitely be interested.

The father of Iron Man can be said to be very proud of himself recently.

As a participant in the Manhattan Project, he entered the White House with Oppenheimer and was honored by the president.

Under the name Stark Industries, the stock price has been rising even higher.

Of course, this is not the result of Howard alone.

The current U.S. stock market is different from the era when Buffett struggled for success and said he had too little experience.

After the downturn during the Great Depression and the war, the U.S. stock market was like a fountain that had been suppressed for a long time, unleashing its full potential, and was about to usher in a long and sustained bull market.

When the post-war instability subsided, those Wall Street stockbrokers closed their eyes and could pick five stocks out of ten and they would rise.

If he just wanted to make money, Luke could calmly plan his plans and become the most successful businessman after the 20th century with a precise vision that transcends the times - then the script would become the rebirth of Wall Street instead of the Marvel Universe.

Wealth and status are just the icing on the cake for him, not the main purpose.

After all, the five great gods of the universe and the higher beings of the Tribunal of Life don't care about your worth or official title.

"Just leave this kind of thing to the hotel waiter."

Luke returned to the hotel and walked quietly behind Marlena.

After looking at the graceful and busy girl wearing an apron for a while, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

"I like to do it myself..."

Marlena, who didn't know it beforehand, was startled. When she turned around and saw the familiar face, she smiled softly.

Like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, she carefully helped Luke take off his military jacket.

These days, I have been busy dealing with official duties, waiting for medals to be awarded, and preparing for SHIELD. The two of them have not seen each other for a while.

"I just made mushroom soup. I'll ask room service to bring some more staple food."

Malena wore a beige floral skirt and a pair of flat heels. Her seaweed-like long black hair was pulled up high, exuding a homely atmosphere.

"Xhosa said you stay in the hotel all day and never want to go out. This is not good."

Luke conveniently put his arms around Marlena's plump waist. This beautiful woman who came to New York from Sicily has completely different personalities from Carter.

The female agent is independent and self-reliant, and always wants to prove her abilities.

And Malena is a typical little woman, home style.

I only long for a solid support that can give me a sense of security, and I never ask for anything else.

Luke sometimes enjoys the feeling of being relied on, so he often spends the night at Marlena's place.

"I read books, listen to the radio, and occasionally go for a walk in the garden below."

Marlena retorted, with a hint of charming charm in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Luke glanced at the magazines on the table. Most of them were about cooking and flower arrangement.

"Let Kosa introduce a reliable real estate agent some other time. It would not be good to stay in a hotel all the time."

Luke has put the plan of buying real estate on his agenda. He travels back and forth between Washington, D.C. and New York, and he doesn't have any high requirements for accommodation.

But Malena is different. She will inevitably feel bored after staying at Waldorf Astoria for a long time.

And as a traveler from the foodie dynasty, buying a house should be a top priority engraved deep in your soul.

"Mr. Alessandro is usually very busy, so don't bother him with this little thing."

Marlena came over with a deliciously fragrant mushroom soup, and it was obvious that her craftsmanship was very good.

The mellow and thick cream, sliced ​​mushrooms, scattered corn kernels, and diced bacon are really appetizing.

"Trust me, he'll be happy to do it."

Luke thought of the mafia boss. The first thing he did after meeting him was to give him a woman.

It can be seen from this that the other party is considered a veteran with rich experience in trying to please the powerful.

With a little effort, you can win the favor of an army major general. This is a good thing that many people can only dream of.

"I'm going to put a mark on you later."

Luke recently used the template of Magical Superman to master a new skill that can imprint the spirit of a specific person.

Just like on the set next door, the shortcut to finding Superman is to throw Lois Lane down the stairs.

Even if he stayed in Washington, D.C., if anything happened to Malena, he would rush over as soon as possible.

However, the above situation is unlikely to happen. If Hydra or the Hellfire Club dare to come to New York to cause trouble, they may be completely wiped out.

Luke is happy to let them experience what the iron fist of justice is!

"Eat first, it's almost cold."

Marlena flipped her hair and waited expectantly for comment.

Not long after, room service rolled out a dining cart and delivered various main dishes.

There are foie gras and lamb shank, as well as an oyster, with a vegetable salad.

Luke began to feast and enjoy the pleasant experience brought by the sumptuous food.

Stellar energy can support daily consumption, but it cannot satisfy his appetite.

"Sir Alessandro said he wanted to see you."

After Luke finished his lunch, Marlena said smoothly while clearing the table.

The mafia leader who came to the North American continent from Sicily and took many family members across the ocean, I heard that he has established a firm foothold in New York.

Luke asked Uncle Frank to introduce the Irish gangsters to Alessandro, and with a major general as a protective umbrella behind him, the New York Police Department turned a blind eye to these Italian gangsters.

Alessandro was also very smart and had no intention of competing with his compatriots or the Irish for business, and he did not touch the hugely profitable business of smuggling and contraband.

Instead, they found new ways and started gray industries, such as spinach and money laundering.

He opened several underground casinos in one go, and his business has been booming recently, and he has gradually become famous in lower Manhattan.

"Is there a problem?"

Luke was lying on the sofa, squinting his eyes slightly.

He didn't want to have too much contact with Alessandro's group unless necessary.

Since the end of the war, his status has improved, causing Luke to deal with heavy tasks every day.

Carter is helping to manage S.H.I.E.L.D., which is still under preparation.

You can leave the mutants to Bolivar and wait for the results.

The most important work comes from the White House and the Pentagon, the politicians on Capitol Hill who are vying to win over each other, the military officials who come over to show their goodwill and build friendships, and some big entrepreneurs who want to invest in themselves.

Socializing and banquets take up most of the time.

Sometimes the limelight is too strong, which may not be a good thing!

Luke sighed.

"Mr. Alessandro, you want to use the family name in Sicily and name the Mafia the Corleone family... Of course, you have to ask for your consent."

Marlena came over and reached out to rub Luke's temples with moderate force, gentle and soothing.

She squatted on the edge of the sofa, her plump and plump body stretched into a beautiful curve.

"You don't need my permission for such a small thing."

After enjoying the massage for a while, Luke turned his head to look at Marlena and said with fiery eyes: "I just want to taste the dessert after dinner."

After long nights and no intention of sleeping, actively exercising is the best way to live a healthy life.
