Even though his apartment had been bombed and he was now effectively homeless, Su Che showed no negative emotions whatsoever.
He had been attacked, his property damaged, and faced such a threat, yet he seemed completely unfazed.
It was as if nothing had happened at all.
Seeing his breezy calmness, Natasha Romanoff couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected of a superhero from the Avengers alliance in a parallel world, someone who has weathered storms and experienced countless life-and-death situations.
His psychological resilience, his ability to remain calm and unhurried, is truly incomparable to ordinary people!
Natasha sighed in her heart, unaware that the reason Su Che felt no anger or panic was fundamentally because this explosion was a self-directed, self-acted affair.
To be precise, this explosion was carried out by the second "villain" he had created.
According to the system prompt, among the holders of the Black Gold Diary, only Nick Fury's trust level remained unchanged at 73%.
Natasha Romanoff and Wanda's trust levels had both exceeded 90%.
Furthermore, after successfully exploring the method to increase Queen Frigga of Asgard's trust level in the last diary entry, her progress was now at 87%.
Su Che believed that with just one more diary entry, Queen Frigga's trust level could be raised to 90%!
Therefore, in this situation, Su Che could naturally choose a location for a new Black Gold Diary holder!
And according to the system's rules, he needed to create a villain and successfully "eliminate" it to increase the number of Black Gold Diary holders.
Thus, Su Che had created a second enemy!
Of course, the enemy created this time definitely couldn't appear before the Avengers alliance members as an "old foe."
After all, one so-called "old enemy" was enough.
Moreover, the system's only main task was the "Galactus Incident."
Judging by the progress indicated by the system, Galactus would likely truly arrive in the future, allowing Su Che to accomplish the feat of "Godslayer."
But before that, he needed to raise his strength to the peak level first!
After all, no matter what, Galactus was one of the Five Cosmic Entities!
The Five Cosmic Entities of Marvel were no joke.
So this time, Su Che planned to assign the "enemy" identity he created to Galactus!
This would allow the "Galactus Event" progress bar to slowly increase.
Anyway, as long as it didn't attract the real Galactus or his heralds, there was no problem.
And even if it did attract one of Galactus's heralds, in this universe, Su Che didn't seem to care much!
It wasn't like the Fantastic Four's universe...
Therefore, Su Che wasn't going to tell anyone that he was the one behind it this time.
As for why Steve's apartment was blown up along with his?
Well, we're all friends here.
Naturally, we share blessings and hardships alike!
Ahem...
Well, the purpose was to muddy the waters.
If only his own house was bombed, it would be too conspicuous, making it seem like the enemy was targeting him personally.
But with Steve's apartment involved, it was different.
That made it the big guy's enemy!
As for how to make it the big guy's enemy?
Hmph, isn't that easy?
And who told Steve's apartment to be right next to his?
He couldn't very well blow up Natasha Romanoff's house three streets away, lest Wanda be left homeless, or worse, remind her of the Jericho missile that destroyed her home years ago, causing psychological trauma.
After all, Wanda was only fifteen!
So, Steve was the one who had to take the hit.
We're all friends; it's only right, only proper!
"Here comes the chicken soup!"
Looking at the chicken soup delivered by the waiter, Tony Stark pushed the trolley over, bringing the soup and other food.
Indeed, Su Che and Steve's apartments had been bombed, so now they were staying in a hotel.
They couldn't possibly accept Tony's offer and move into his villa.
Not to mention it would complicate the implementation of the next phase of the plan.
After all, Tony had settled Pepper in his villa, and Su Che had just encouraged him to confess his feelings during the day.
What if Tony mustered the courage and confessed in the next couple of days, and then something... inappropriate happened at night?
Then...
Especially since both he and Steve had physiques far beyond ordinary people, with exceptionally sharp hearing!
Although Steve came from the meat-eating era seventy years ago, and Su Che also ate meat in his own world...
Still...
It would be awkward to overhear certain... sounds.
"If I may say so, you two are being superstitious!"
While setting the food on the table, Tony Stark said, "And it's not like I only have that one villa. Please, I'm a bona fide billionaire, okay? I own plenty of villas."
"Even if you two moved in, and another one of my villas got blown up, I wouldn't care at all!"
Hearing Tony's words, Natasha Romanoff, who was helping set the table, also smiled and said, "That probably won't happen. After all, Sue and Steve's apartments have already been bombed once!"
"Although I don't know who that person, or those people, are, I can roughly guess."
"Barton doesn't need us to worry; he can handle anything. If something goes wrong, he'll have very professional support arriving within minutes."
"That leaves just you and me from the team that took out the HYDRA base in Sokovia a few days ago!"
After setting out the food, Natasha looked at Tony and said, "How are your arrangements? You'd better pay extra attention!"
"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem!"
Hearing Natasha's question, Tony smiled confidently. "Not only have I mobilized Stark Industries' satellites, but I've also put J.A.R.V.I.S in charge of full-time surveillance."
"And besides the security personnel from Stark Industries, I also asked Rhodes to help transfer a bunch of people to protect Pepper."
"I refuse to believe that with all these people around, Pepper could still be attacked!"
At this point, Tony lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I think if the people who bombed Sue and Steve's apartments are really targeting us, then Pepper might be safer with me not by her side!"
"That's true!"
Hearing Tony's words, Natasha sat down at the dining table and smiled. "Nick Fury is convinced the attackers this time are definitely HYDRA seeking revenge."
"So, with Stark Industries security and Rhodes's military personnel around Pepper..."
"Then with you here with us, Pepper is safe!"
With that, Natasha looked at everyone and said, "Alright, dinner is served. Let's eat first. No matter who the enemy is, we need a full stomach to have the strength to fight them!"
