Ultraman Noah from Marvel

68. Fried Chicken on the Tip of Your Tongue

After Ji Yuan disappeared, Stark looked at Steve with a wicked grin and said, "Captain, interested in making some changes to Spider-Man's predetermined future?"

"What do you want to do?" Steve asked, narrowing his eyes. He keenly sensed something different in Stark's fanatical gaze.

Stark stroked his chin and said, "Using Moron as bait, I need to record the spatial data of his other brothers when they opened the cosmic portals. If possible, I'll also need your help in capturing them."

Although his mech was upgraded again, he still had to admit that he was no match for Steve. Jarvis had already scanned his body data when he entered the laboratory.

Based on the large model, the probability of the current mech defeating Steve is 0. Stark has to admit that Steve is a bit too strong, his strength is increasing crazily every once in a while, Ultraman's "blessing" is really exaggerated.

Why use a mech when you have free henchmen? A broken mech costs money.

Steve was silent for a moment. He actually preferred to use Moron as bait and then send those transmigrated heir families to their deaths with a small nuclear bomb.

But Stark's point is not without merit: the best way to deal with an enemy is to understand them, know them, attack their weaknesses, and take precautions by preparing in advance.

The key point is that although Peter is a little rebellious, he is a good kid overall. As long as I am still on this land, I will not let him face all of this alone.

Steve said, "But Ji Yuan warned us not to try to capture them."

Stark's smile deepened, tinged with amusement: "Captain, Ji Yuan only said they could run away at any time, but he didn't say they could hurt you."

In fact, he even suspected that Ji Yuan said that on purpose.

Steve thought about it and agreed to the request, after all, this Molen was really too weak.

Stark snapped his fingers excitedly: "Jarvis, bring the helicopter over and move our precious decoy to a safer location."

The helicopter soon arrived at Stark Tower and took Stark and Steve to a secret base in the suburbs.

Peter and Matt stayed at Stark Tower, one to study the reverse serum, and the other still concerned about the cases at the law firm.

Hidden in the shadows, Ji Yuan was speechless. Sure enough, reminding him was useless. Stark always liked to do this, but he didn't expect Steve to be with him too.

Thinking of his plan, Ji Yuan left a mark on Stark to prevent the plan from being ruined later.

Only then did he regain consciousness.

The rain had stopped and the air was fresh after being washed by the rain. The midday sun shone down generously on the wet ruins, as if a pair of gentle hands were wiping away the scarred earth.

When he opened his eyes, Wanda was sitting beside him, quietly staring at him.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, you were sleeping so soundly. It's already noon. Luckily, it rained earlier and no one came to collect the supplies." Wanda's tone was unusually lighthearted.

Ji Yuan smiled and stretched: "This weather is perfect for sleeping. It's time for lunch."

He glanced around and asked, "By the way, where's Pietro?"

"Him?" Wanda's lips curled slightly. "He saw that no one was coming to collect the supplies because of the rain, so he just stayed in his room playing on his phone."

Ji Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling. What if Pietro turned into an internet addict? Oh well, he's suffered for so long, let him enjoy it.

"You wait in the room, I'll go get something good to eat," Ji Yuan instructed Wanda.

He got up and went back to his room, casually opened a portal back to Hell's Kitchen, picked up the ingredients and got to work.

That's the good thing about teleportation portals—you can go wherever you want. If this were in the previous life, we'd be flying high!

Soon, a steaming, fragrant family bucket of fried chicken was ready. After buying a few premium strawberry cakes from Aunt Wang, Ji Yuan returned to his room in Sokovia.

Next door to him was Wanda and Pietro's room.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Wanda sitting in a chair, lost in thought, and Pietro on the other side, engrossed in looking at his phone.

Oh no, Pietro really has the potential to become an internet addict.

"Here you are, lunch is ready, Wanda, Pietro!" Ji Yuan called out loudly, carrying a large plate of fried chicken in one hand and several cakes in the other.

Upon hearing the sound, the two immediately looked up, and an indescribable fragrance filled their nostrils. The scent was completely unfamiliar, yet it made their mouths water.

"This is..." Pietro's gaze became blank. He seemed to have seen this thing many years ago. Then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "It's fried chicken!"

Wanda also remembered that this was food eaten during family gatherings in a family sitcom on TV, deep in her memory.

"Wow, Mr. Ji Yuan, how did you manage to get fried chicken here? I've only ever seen it on TV before," Pietro exclaimed excitedly.

You have to understand that since the war started, they have basically only eaten compressed biscuits and oatmeal, and occasionally they can get a small bag of peanut butter. Fried chicken is something they have never seen in real life.

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "I naturally have my own way of doing things. Just take it and eat it."

Looking at the fried chicken on the table, Pietro couldn't help but swallow hard. For someone who hadn't eaten meat in many years, it smelled incredibly delicious.

"Oh, right, and this too." Ji Yuan took two large cups of Coke with lemon slices from his room. How could you eat fried chicken without this?

"Then, Mr. Ji Yuan, I won't stand on ceremony." Pietro's mouth was practically watering as he picked up a chicken leg and took a big bite.

A crisp snapping sound.

The unique aroma of oil, along with the salty and savory flavor, explodes on the tip of the tongue, truly stimulating the taste buds.

Taking a bite of fried chicken and a sip of cola, an indescribable joy welled up inside him. Pietro completely let loose with his eating, his mouth dripping with oil.

In contrast, Wanda's eating manners were particularly restrained. Although her eyes shone with every bite, she still ate slowly and deliberately.

The two had their own unique ways of eating, but they had one thing in common: they ate very carefully, chewing their food many times before swallowing, and making sure not to miss a single piece of chicken.

Their years of experience in exile have taught them to cherish every bite of food, because no one knows if they will be able to find food again.

Watching Wanda and Pietro eat fried chicken, Ji Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Happiness is actually that simple.
