Chapter 100 Gathering - 2
Chapter 100 Gathering - 2
Vega: "We can recruit some superheroes, and we can also recruit some supervillains."
There's not much to say about superheroes, but some supervillains are forced down the path of crime entirely out of desperation.
People like Electro, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, and Sandman are examples of this; if someone could accept them, they would never have gone down the path of crime.
Jacob: "We've considered this approach, but most people with superhuman strength believe in the supremacy of power. We have neither anyone who can inspire awe in them nor any leaders we can trust."
They had only a few extraordinary individuals, but none of them were suitable to lead the extraordinary squad.
Vega is their biggest backer; he doesn't get involved in specific matters and often leaves to go to other universes.
Monica is the core leader, responsible only for making plans and giving orders.
Superstar is Monica's personal bodyguard and cannot be mobilized.
Gwen and Bana are still children, both with special identities, and both are still in school.
He and some core members of the family, with Vega's help, actually possessed considerable supernatural power, but they never revealed it in public. After all, their identities were too sensitive, and exposing them would bring trouble to Vega.
Although Vega wouldn't care, they're too popular right now, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Their strongest special squad is the Wild Chapter, whose members are all equipped with Iron Man suits and magical artifacts. However, the Wild Chapter members are scattered around the world protecting those industries and cannot be mobilized unless there is a major emergency.
Vega thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a problem, but it's also easy to solve. I'll find you a few superhumans you can completely trust."
For him now, those businesses, as well as New Jersey and Latvia, are completely a burden, but these are all businesses that his wife has worked hard to build, and he cannot persuade his wife to give them up.
Finding a leader is easy; the Bronze Armlet now possesses the AllSpark's power, and he can easily create a loyal team of Extraordinary Transformers.
Jacob: "Then I'll leave this matter to you."
Yag didn't press the matter further. His brother-in-law was practically a god; since he had promised, he would definitely do his best.
"Wow, so much delicious food!" Little Shengxi rushed out of the villa, looking at the elders preparing the food, and smelling the mixed aromas of the food, her mouth was watering.
Orwell chuckled and picked up a sizzling, golden-brown sausage, calling out, "Come here, my darling, Grandpa has some delicious sausages."
Little Shengxi cheered and ran to the dining table to grab a plate and a small fork. Then, she went to Orwell, stood on tiptoe, and held the plate above her head, saying, "Grandpa, give it to me, give it to me!"
Orwell placed the sausage on the plate and said, "Here, be careful not to burn yourself."
Little Shengxi: "Mmm, oh my, this is so delicious."
"Haha, eat more if you like it." Orwell laughed very happily. He made these sausages himself. His picky granddaughter liked them, which meant that his cooking skills were excellent.
"Grandpa, I want to eat too."
"Grandpa Orwell, I want some too."
The other seven children also ran over. Some of them didn't like sausages, but they all surrounded Orwell and begged for them.
"Yes, yes, we have them all. Don't rush, be careful not to burn yourself." Orwell was even happier. He glanced at Vega and the others with a smug look, his boastful intentions obvious.
Vega pretended not to see it and continued to talk quietly with his brother-in-law.
Little Shengxi ate two grilled sausages, picked up her plate and walked towards Vega. Seeing that her father and uncle's grilled steak and grilled fish were not ready yet, she turned around without saying a word and was about to go find the others.
Vega's face darkened instantly, and he hissed, "Come back here."
"Huh?" Xiao Shengxi turned around blankly. Why did you call her? The steak wasn't ready yet.
Vega: "How well-done would you like it?"
Xiao Shengxi: "It's medium-rare."
"Okay, wait." After Vega finished speaking, he waved his right hand lightly, and a burst of phoenix power shot out and covered the steaks on the grill. In an instant, all the steaks were cooked.
I picked up a slice of beef, took the plate from my daughter, put the sliced beef on it, added some side dishes, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and shoved it back into her hands: "Go eat over there."
"Oh." Little Shengxi turned and walked away blankly. After she was out of sight, Yage finally couldn't help but laugh: "Pfft, is it really that big of a deal?"
Vega, without batting an eye, said, "My daughter is hungry. Is there a problem with me making it quickly?"
Jacob nodded, suppressing a laugh: "No."
Vega ignored him and called out to the seven children, "You little rascals, come here quickly, your uncle's steak is ready."
Orwell looked over, squinted, and said unhappily, "Didn't you see the kids eating sausages here?"
Vega: "I just wanted them to help bring the steak to the table so I could continue grilling."
Orwell: "Can't you carry it yourself? They're just kids, what if they get burned?"
Vega: "That would be a waste of time. In my hometown, the kids serve the food at family gatherings. As long as you're careful not to burn yourself, even if something goes wrong, I can fix it."
Orwell: "Didn't the child feel pain when he got burned?"
Vega didn't refute, but waved his hand, and a protective energy shield appeared around the seven bewildered children.
Now it won't burn you, let's see what you, old man, can say now.
Orwell was furious at his son-in-law's stunt. He trembled with rage, gripping the clip tightly with his right hand, his urge to smash it into the clip growing stronger.
Vega lowered his head to start preparing the grilled steaks, but his attention remained focused on his father-in-law, wondering if he should pick up a plate of steak and slap him in the face if Old Deng were to smash something on him.
"What are you little rascals waiting for? Hurry up and bring your steaks." Monica walked over with a frosty expression, standing between her father and husband, separating them.
"Oh, oh, okay Auntie." Asta, who had seen this many times before, was the first to react and called his friends over.
"The sausage is almost burnt, flip it over quickly, our granddaughter is waiting to eat it." Audrey saw that her husband was not moving and was looking in Vega's direction, so she knew that he was embarrassed and stepped forward to give him a way out.
"Grandpa, I want to eat grilled sausage too." Little Shengxi ran over as well, but she was still holding a steak in her hand.
The steak can't be left unattended, otherwise Dad, who's always so petty, will tell Mom and make her deal with her.
"Okay, Grandpa will grill it for you now." Orwell forced an awkward smile and lowered his head to start peeling the sausage.
Audrey and Monica exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. After all these years, the father-in-law and son-in-law still couldn't get along and would quarrel whenever they met.
