Chapter 713: Jealousy

During the war between Captain America and Tony, other Avengers members were forced to split into two factions.

But at the end of the day, everyone was on the same side.

Therefore, when the Civil War broke out, apart from Captain America and Tony, who were truly serious about it, everyone else acted with great restraint.

As a result, in this war, besides Tony losing a suit of armor, the overall strength of the Avengers was not significantly affected.

However, with Captain America and Tony, two iconic figures, one leaving and the other choosing to give up, the Avengers, without its leaders, gradually faded from public view.

But just as the super intelligent robot Ultron said: the existence of superheroes often inspires super villains.

And as the superheroes in the Avengers became low-key, the public order in New York City unexpectedly entered a period of peace.

In short, whatever the initial intent of Captain America and Tony’s ideological dispute, reaching this point was actually a good thing for the ordinary people in New York City.

No superheroes… no super villains… people’s lives inexplicably became stable.

“I feel much better now. I plan to go out for a walk to clear my head.”

A week had passed since Black Widow arrived at the villa, and after countless sessions of mental and emotional guidance, she now looked rejuvenated.

This was a stark contrast to her previous lifeless appearance.

“Uh huh. Take care, don’t let the door hit you on the way out…”

Mike, lying on his back, gave a perfunctory greeting, considering it a farewell.

“Aren’t you going to do anything? Perhaps you could come out for a walk with me.” Black Widow asked, turning to look at the man as she put on her clothes.

This friendly match had been particularly intense, although it ultimately ended with Black Widow’s defeat.

But after all this time, Black Widow felt that there was a certain intimacy between them.

Therefore, she had a bit more expectation in her heart.

Hoping the man would show a moment of lingering affection.

“I wish you a pleasant stroll,” Mike turned on his side and waved with a smile.

His attitude was indeed a bit better than before, but only marginally so.

After all, seven days and nights, even if Natasha were a fairy, Mike was already tired.

Now he just wanted to send her off peacefully.

“I knew it, I shouldn’t have fantasized about a scumbag like you…” The fully dressed Black Widow rolled her eyes.

However, before leaving, she turned back and gently kissed the man’s forehead, “I’m very satisfied with your performance this time. When I’m free, I’ll come find you again.”

With that, Natasha strode away in a dashing manner.

It was a bit like turning the tables.

Downstairs, Wanda had been sitting there since the day Black Widow arrived.

Seeing her “love rival” descend from the second floor, a red glow flashed in the girl’s eyes, but she ultimately suppressed this violent emotion.

Her expression towards Black Widow, however, remained cold.

How could Black Widow not notice such a sharp gaze?

Natasha had long sensed that the girl on the sofa had an interest in Mike.

Thinking of the man’s “heartless” Performance upstairs, Black Widow inexplicably felt a touch of sympathy for the girl.

Compared to Black Widow, an old hand in romance, Wanda was like a rookie, more than a little green.

Black Widow didn’t believe Wanda could hold onto a man she herself couldn’t even control.

“Good luck, I hope you succeed,” For some unknown reason, Black Widow suddenly smiled brightly at Wanda.

After encouraging her, she strolled out of the villa.

“What does she mean by that? Is she provoking me?” Wanda, who had been suppressing a belly full of anger, couldn’t hold it in any longer after Black Widow left.

Crimson Chaos Power surged around her, as if it could explode at any moment.

“Uh, perhaps she didn’t mean it that way…”

Under the powerful low pressure, Quicksilver, sitting nearby, was having a tough time.

He had become an innocent bystander.

But what could he do? As a younger brother, he could only try to appease his sister.

Just as Quicksilver was about to break down, he suddenly noticed his sister beside him inexplicably becoming “ladylike.”

He turned his head to find Mike, who hadn’t really left his room for seven days, now walking down from the second floor in his pajamas.

“I knew it would be like this,” Quicksilver mumbled, exasperated.

Only Mike could make his prickly sister docile.

“In broad daylight, why are you all cooped up here…” Mike, coming out for some air, looked at the siblings in the living room with surprise and said, “Never mind, is there anything to eat? I need to fill my stomach.”

With Mike’s current strength, he obviously no longer needed to eat or drink.

But as a mortal, how could he abandon the enjoyment of delicious food?

“Yes, I’ll prepare it for you right away.” Wanda replied with a smile.

Then she turned and glared at her brother beside her, signaling him to get the food.

Mike’s villa was not much smaller than the nearby Stark Tower, so Mike had long considered hiring a professional service team for the villa.

After all, he wasn’t short on money.

However, Wanda had refused, citing inconvenience.

She indicated that she could take care of Mike’s daily needs.

But in practice, all the chores in the villa fell to Quicksilver, her younger brother.

Cooking, naturally, was also his responsibility.

Who else could Wanda order around in this villa besides him?

Receiving his sister’s gaze, Quicksilver pouted and wisely walked towards the kitchen.

He was already regretting why he had been so foolish as to stay home with his sister and endure this annoyance.

“How’s your cultivation going recently? Do you feel anything unusual?” Once only the two of them were left in the living room, Mike casually inquired about the girl’s cultivation progress.

He had also experienced the power of Chaos Power.

Such omnipotent power often leads people to extremes.

Therefore, this powerful force requires an even stronger mind to control it.

This was also what Wanda needed to do next: strengthen her mental training.

Ultimately achieving the state of power originating from the heart.

“I was just about to return this book to you. The energy within it has already been absorbed by me…” Wanda took out the Book of Gospels and handed it back to Mike.

“Hmm, I can feel the energy within you; it has already surpassed the single-universe level. It seems you haven’t been slacking off during this time.” Mike absorbed the Book of Gospels back into his body and said, “But your current problem is how to control this energy.”

“If you can’t use it as you wish, the destructive power will be immense…”

Uncontrolled energy, especially the incredibly powerful Chaos Power within Wanda, would definitely be catastrophic if it went out of control.

One wrong move, and she might even injure herself.

It was precisely with this consideration in mind that Mike prepared to have a good talk with the girl.

“Dinner is served!”

However, just then, Quicksilver, who hadn’t been gone long, returned with a tray.

Steaks, roasts, vegetable salads, etc., were all fast food items, and they looked good.

Clearly, Quicksilver had a talent for housework.

And since it was almost noon, Quicksilver had prepared lunch for three.

As for Hit-Girl, having finished her summer homework, she had gone to Big Daddy’s place today.

“Come and try my special roast, it’s definitely no worse than yours, Mike.” Quicksilver, unaware that he had interrupted his sister’s good time alone, enthusiastically promoted the roast to Mike.

It was an improved version of special Texas roast, the recipe for which he had learned from Mike.

“Don’t you have plans with Peter and them? Why aren’t you going yet?” However, before Quicksilver could showcase his culinary skills, Wanda interrupted him.

“Peter? Isn’t he at…” Quicksilver, knowing Peter had been busy at the factory these past few days, didn’t immediately catch on.

It wasn’t until his sister’s familiar oppressive aura arrived that he had a flash of inspiration and corrected himself, “Right, Peter and I agreed to go out for lunch together.”

“Oh no, I’m running out of time, I’m leaving now!!!”

With an exaggerated voice, Quicksilver quickly got up and walked out.

It was as if something was chasing him, almost to the point of activating his super speed.

But it was also good; he couldn’t stand being in this house any longer anyway…
