Chapter 203 Avengers Dinner

The Battle of New York had completely come to an end.

As for the subsequent site cleanup and battlefield blockade, S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel naturally rushed over to handle it.

There were also independent operators like the Vulture.

Inside a small restaurant, a bunch of people from the Avengers gathered around a round table.

The table was piled high with freshly served dishes, yet several people stared at the things on the table and collectively fell into dead silence.

Lucas leaned back in his chair, turned his head to look at Tony, and spoke with a somewhat sour expression:

"No... Tony, you claim to be the number one second-generation rich kid in New York, yet what do you mean by bringing us brothers to an English restaurant? Come on, take a look for yourself and see if this thing is edible!"

As he spoke, Lucas pushed a famous dish directly under Tony’s nose.

That was a plate of authentic English specialty dishes.

Stargazy pie!

The mashed potatoes were baked a bit scorched, glowing with a strange purplish-gray color, and several sardine heads with rolled-up white eyes—looking as if they died with grievances unredressed—stuck straight up toward the ceiling.

This thing was creepy enough just to look at; who would dare to take a bite?

"Er..." Tony’s expression stiffened as he gave a dry cough.

"Guy, this shop’s rating on the food review website is actually as high as 4.7... and the head chef even retired from the Royal London Hotel..."

"The ratings must be fake!"

Lucas rolled his eyes and pushed the plate away with a slap.

"Eating a plate of the periodic table would be better than this thing, you might as well just serve the waiter directly!"

Captain America rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh.

He was a veteran who was least picky about food.

Back in the day when fighting continuously on the battlefield, he didn’t even have a proper meal, yet looking at this table of food, he shockingly had no appetite at all.

Captain America looked at Lucas.

"Um... Mr. Superman, although this meal is indeed a bit... unexpected, we still owe you a word of thanks."

"If it weren’t for you carrying away the nuclear bomb at the end and bringing along these two exceptionally capable friends, New York would probably have been reduced to ruins today. May I boldly ask, what is your true background?"

"It’s about the same as the hammer god beside you!" Lucas pointed at Thor, who was drinking with his head down. "I’m also a foreigner. This time, just passing by Earth, I brought my two friends out to see the World and help out."

Hearing Lucas mention her, Wanda lowered her head slightly and greeted Captain America and the others somewhat timidly.

Only when looking at Stark did she not give a good expression.

Pietro tried hard to squeeze out a smile; having experienced a series of beatings just now, he was left bruised and battered.

Captain America nodded politely, secretly startled by the strength of this pair of siblings.

"An alien?" Thor put down his wine glass. "What race are you from? Maybe I’ve even heard of it!"

"Viltrumite!"

"Never heard of it. It doesn’t seem to be in Asgard’s Nine Realms atlas. This galaxy sounds very unique... What kind of World is that?"

Lucas said, "Our race has already withered in population. We used to have billions of people, but now only fifty thousand are left, barely surviving among the stars. We can’t compare to you Asgardians; you are gods after all!"

Fifty thousand Viltrumites should easily be able to conquer Asgard, right?

Hearing this, Thor’s eyes narrowed: "You know about Asgard?"

"Who in the entire Universe doesn’t know Asgard’s prestigious reputation?"

"Your good old dad is a badass who beats Thanos with his fists and kicks Frost Giants with his feet. That’s what you call far-and-wide fame, suppressing Zeus next door so much that he wouldn’t dare squeak a peep! In the entire Universe, you Asgardians are the most awesome and majestic!"

Hearing these words, Thor’s slightly furrowed brow instantly smoothed out, and he looked extremely pleased.

"Hahaha! Friend, you really know your stuff! Asgard’s glory indeed protects the Nine Realms! Since your race has encountered difficulties, if you have any trouble in the future, just drop the name of Thor, son of the Allfather!"

Right!

Thor was full of muscle and hadn’t developed even a shred of wisdom from his brother’s swindles and deceptions.

Black Widow couldn’t help letting out a hum. She crossed her arms over her chest, her slender legs slightly crossed, squeezing out a certain fleshy outline.

"Mr. Lucas, although this war has ended, your personal file is still completely blank inside S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Director Nick very much hopes to sit down and have a cup of coffee with you. If you’re willing to grace us with your presence, can you and your friends come back to S.H.I.E.L.D. with me in a moment?"

"No time for that, I’m a person who is afraid of the dark!" Lucas waved his hand decisively, refusing without a shred of hesitation.

"And I’m very busy right now; I still have important matters to attend to on Earth!"

Natasha raised an eyebrow and asked softly: "Then what important business do you have next? S.H.I.E.L.D. might be able to offer help."

"Nothing much, I want to discuss some technical cooperation with this hero Stark!" Lucas expressed his interest publicly. "I have quite a bit of alien technology in my hands, and at the same time I’m very interested in his armor action figures and the nuclear reactor on his chest. Perhaps we can have an in-depth exchange."

"In the evening, I still have to do some things that a man should do!"

Hearing these blunt words, Wanda’s face instantly flushed to the tips of her ears.

This version of Wanda had stayed in the sanctuary for too long, and her personality was actually somewhat shy.

Natasha took this scene into her eyes, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. Her red lips curled into an alluring arc as she leaned forward slightly, deliberately displaying her fine curves, and said in a soft voice:

"S.H.I.E.L.D. also masters a lot of cutting-edge technology. As for the communication at night... if you need it, I can also accompany you for an in-depth exchange, as long as your little girlfriend doesn’t mind."

This sentence obviously carried a bit of probing.

Natasha was an Agent, and probing was her basic skill.

However, as soon as her words fell!

"Slap!!"

A crisp, loud sound shook the small restaurant!

Only to see Wanda fiercely slam her palm onto the round table!

Chaos magic burst forth directly.

In an instant, all the tableware on the dining table, and even that plate of grievously dead sardines, all floated suspended in mid-air out of thin air!

The light of the entire restaurant dimmed, leaving only Wanda’s pair of eyes flashing with scarlet, piercing glints, shining brightly in the darkness.

"I don’t mind too much... but you’d better make sure you have nine lives!"

Natasha’s complexion changed drastically in an instant, her right hand instinctively reaching towards her waist, only to find that under the lock of that red light, raising her finger was extremely difficult!

Barton took a sharp breath of cold air even more.

Iron Man had armor, Thor had divine power, and Captain America had a shield; the two of them were purely ordinary people, don’t mess with them!

They would die!

"Calm down! Calm down! Madam! Natasha was just joking! Since everyone is full... oh no, since everyone is not interested in the food here, we will take our leave first!"

Steve also saw that the power inside Wanda’s body was simply extraordinary, and he pressed down on Natasha’s shoulder.

Black Widow shut her mouth in time.

"Hey, I thought I could see rivers of blood!" Lucas yawned, feeling a bit uninteresting.

With a casual wave of his hand, the bowls and plates floating in mid-air steadily fell back onto the table.

"Let’s go! It’s time to talk about business!"

Amidst a faint spatial ripple, Lucas took the three of them and directly disappeared from the restaurant.

"Come on, hero Stark, hook me up with a few Playboy cover girls!"
