[I've lost count of how many times Pepper Potts has come to my coffee shop.]
[Since Tony was kidnapped, except for the first few days, Pepper has come every single day for the past month, and she's always reluctant to leave.]
[In her words, she felt oppressed at Stark Industries during the period Tony was kidnapped.]
[But the truth is, she brought this oppression upon herself.]
[After all, more than a month has passed since Tony Stark was kidnapped.]
[Whether it's the outside media, Stark Industries employees, or even members of the Stark Industries board of directors, they have all given up hope that Tony can return alive.]
[However, she is the only one who hasn't given up yet!]
[So, being the only one still holding onto hope in a camp that has given up, how could she not feel oppressed?]
[That's why during this time, she would rather stay in my coffee shop and chat with me about things than go back to Stark Industries.]
Although the fifth diary seems like small talk, both Natasha Romanoff and Nick Fury paid close attention to it.
If nothing else, it's because they could analyze Su Che's emotions through this seemingly casual diary. Su Che's mood was important to Nick Fury.
Even how to appease Su Che, how to make him develop a sense of belonging to their world, and even integrate into this world and treat it as his own—this was extremely important to Nick Fury.
Especially after learning more about Su Che's abilities and even suspecting that the strength Su Che had shown was only a small part, Nick Fury took Su Che even more seriously!
The world needed a hero, a superhero who could stand up on the eve of destruction and save the world. Not to mention, Su Che was also an Avenger from a parallel world, a superhero who had protected Earth for over a decade.
Whether it was his unwavering faith built over more than ten years or his knowledge of all major events related to Earth in the "future," its importance to their world was self-evident.
It was like being one of the three who obtained the black-gold diary from the very beginning. After reading the first diary, Nick Fury, the king of agents who always doubted everything, became the one who trusted the diary's contents the most among the three holders.
Because, whether it was the Avengers—a conceptual superhero team he had ideas for but hadn't yet proposed—or the overwhelming sense of despair in that diary, Nick Fury hoped what the diary wrote was true.
Although the thought was unpleasant, if everything recorded in the diary was true, then even though the parallel world had been destroyed, their world would gain one more superhero who was determined, full of faith, capable of protecting Earth, and possessed clear knowledge of the future.
That was what Nick Fury needed most. Earth had never been safe, and Nick Fury was well aware of this.
As for Su Che, it could be said that in Nick Fury's heart, his importance far exceeded that of other superheroes who had yet to appear!
Therefore, what Nick Fury most wanted to see was for Su Che to rekindle emotions with other "former comrades-in-arms," thereby gradually integrating into this world.
That was also why Nick Fury sent Natasha Romanoff to approach Su Che. Similarly, it was why, after seeing in the diary that Wanda was his wife in the parallel world, Nick Fury chose to directly bring back the twins Wanda and Pietro rather than change the future.
As long as Su Che could integrate into this world, form bonds with it, become a part of it, and become a superhero guarding this world, then no matter the cost, Nick Fury believed it was worth it!
So, when he saw that the fifth diary read more like a daily account, Nick Fury felt somewhat relieved. After all, compared to reading about the impending doom of the future in the diary, he would rather see a Su Che whose mindset was gradually calming down.
Which outcome was most important and best for the world? Nick Fury knew very well.
Well, Nick Fury knew it well, but that didn't mean others did.
Like Wanda right now. Reading the description in the diary about Pepper spending every day at the Peach Blossom Grove Café, an inexplicable sourness rose in her heart.
Although Su was only her husband in a parallel world, the thought of another woman running to the Peach Blossom Grove Café every day, talking and laughing with her future husband, made Wanda feel irritated for no reason.
How could this be! That's my future husband—what are you trying to do by being in front of him every day!
But then she remembered she was only fourteen years old now and would only turn fifteen in a little over a month. Wanda felt a little discouraged.
When will I grow up?!
On the sofa, watching Wanda's constantly changing expressions and small movements, Natasha Romanoff immediately knew what she was thinking. She raised her hand and smiled, ruffling Wanda's hair.
Natasha Romanoff decided to wait until after reading this diary to comfort this girl, who was more mature than her age but still couldn't escape the overthinking typical of her years!
[It's like seeing Obadiah Stane on TV today—the man Tony regards as an uncle—saying in front of the media that he would do anything to get Tony back.]
[Both Pepper and I had mocking looks in our eyes.]
[Pepper saw that Obadiah Stane, since Tony's kidnapping, had been fighting for power and profit, trying to elevate his position and even make Stark Industries his own.]
[But what I saw was an old fox who planned Tony Stark's kidnapping but pretended to be innocent and outraged in front of others.]
[Oh, right. Perhaps some of the hatred for the death of Wanda and Pietro's parents can also be placed on him.]
[After all, many weapons from Stark Industries, including the missile that destroyed Wanda's family in Sokovia, were all secretly sold by him through his private channels without Stark Industries' knowledge!]
Seeing this sentence, Wanda's slightly tangled expression instantly changed!
