Chapter 204: Do all super-rich people seem to be womanizers?
The above-ground portion of Avengers Tower was meant to demonstrate the Avengers' professionalism to the Kents, but the real highlight was the ground floor.
The Avengers Tower has three basement levels with multiple functions, including a machine bay, workshops, and more.
The facility includes rooms such as a gym, but the most important are the simulated shooting room and the training room. The former is used to test the abilities of super shooters, while the latter is mainly used to test the physical fitness, energy release, and other abilities of heroes.
The training equipment Steve had previously provided for Clark couldn't measure his true strength, so Clark had to go to the training room to test his physical abilities. And as the data came out one by one, Tony's jaw nearly dropped.
"Rune, your family's bloodline is that strong?" Tony nudged Rune's arm with his elbow. "And what's the background of that little girl behind you who hasn't said a word since she arrived? Is she also a member of your family?"
"No." Rune shook his head. "She is still my disciple."
"Hmm, the little girl is so pretty—"
Rune's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and Tony's armor also alerted him to a high-energy reaction.
"Don't touch her, Tony, or else—"
"Hehehe!" Tony was also dissatisfied, looking at Rune with some anger: "You should have faith in the Starks' character! She's obviously still a minor, and I already have Pepper—"
Rune's eyes were no longer red, but he was still staring intently at Tony, which made Tony uncomfortable and also made him feel guilty. As a result, his voice began to get softer and softer, until finally his voice was no louder than the hum of a mosquito at night.
"Black Widow, Agent Hill, Baroness Zemo, the White Queen," Rune said, reciting a list of female names or hero titles as if he were listing dishes after he finished his sophistry: "She-Hulk, the original Wasp—"
"Enough, enough, please—" Tony clasped his hands together, his face contorted with pain, begging Rune to stop talking. All the women Rune mentioned had been people he'd had intimate relationships with. And what was even worse was…
Many of Tony's women are women he flirts with and then runs away, which is something Tony and Bruce are quite similar in.
Perhaps this is one of the joys of the super-rich?
But before Rune could continue his reflections, he keenly heard a particularly loud scream coming from inside Tony's armor; it was a woman's voice.
"Tony Stark! Black Widow and Agent Hill are one thing, but why are you even having an affair with Baron Zemo's wife?"
Tony's face was contorted into an extremely painful shape, resembling Ron's expression when he received the howling letter.
"Pepper Potts?" Rune raised an eyebrow and asked after the voice stopped, while Tony sighed.
Then he nodded painfully. Rune pursed his lips, thinking, "Look at what marriage has brought to men."
The man in armor gestured to Jonathan and Martha, indicating that he was going out to take a call. Meanwhile, the raven cautiously approached Rune and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't hang out with him," Raven whispered. "Womanizing men are never good people—"
Rune smiled when he heard Raven's words. He patted Raven's fluffy head and explained softly, "That's understandable. Those heroes live a precarious life every day, so they're under a lot of psychological pressure. It's inevitable that some of them will use that kind of behavior to relieve that pressure. In fact, it's not just male heroes; even female heroes maintain ambiguous relationships with many male heroes—"
Raven nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "And you, teacher? How do you choose to release stress?"
"Me?" Rune thought for a moment, then said, "No one can put pressure on me right now."
