"Huh?" Watson looked at Tony in confusion.
"I mean—uh—thanks, uh, that's it." Tony said, then put his arm around the beauty's slender waist and walked in.
"What did he just say?" Rhode looked at Watson, dumbfounded. "Shit! He actually said thank you?! He actually said thank you to you in that tone?! I've known him for so many years, and I've never heard him say thank you to anyone. Except to be sarcastic! I must be hallucinating—"
"Such a fuss—" Ignoring Rhode, Watson looked at the sexy body hanging on him, his hands began to wander over her smooth lower abdomen, and he whispered next to her small ear: "Baby~ Have you ever experienced the dragon's wrath?"
The sexy flight attendant felt the hot hands on her body and the soft whispers in her ear.
Her body began to twist uncontrollably and she replied, "Never~ So I'm really looking forward to it~" As soon as she finished speaking, she was picked up by Watson's strong arms and carried towards his room.
Just as Rhode was about to say something, a charming voice interrupted him.
"Hey~ Colonel~ I have a very good remedy that can cure your hallucinations~ Would you like to try it?~"
"Oh ho ho~ Of course~ I'd be delighted~"
--- An hour later, Tony walked out of the room, took a bottle of champagne from the fridge, and poured himself a glass. He heard faint sounds from the opposite room, then cast a puzzled look at Rhode, who looked as if he had been drained, on the sofa.
Rhode rolled over and buried his head in the sofa, muttering, "Don't look at me, I hate superhumans!"
Tony rolled his eyes, took his champagne, and returned to his room.
--- Two hours later,
Rhode stood at the door, knocked, and shouted, "Hey, buddy, I need to ask you a favor. Alice has a military rank and a job! Please don't let her go to the hospital after we get off the plane, okay?"
--- Whoosh~! Whoosh~!
With a huge whooshing sound, the returning plane finally landed.
At the airport, a tall, well-dressed woman had been waiting anxiously, as if for someone.
Seeing the plane land, she stared intently at the cabin door.
Her small hands intertwined repeatedly, as if that would make her feel more at ease.
As the cabin door opened, a mustachioed man wearing sunglasses, a black man in military uniform, and a handsome boy with a "finally well-rested" expression walked out.
And the woman, at the moment she saw the mustachioed man, finally let out a heavy sigh of relief, her two hands quietly folded together, but her eyes suddenly turned red.
"You're kidding, right? Push it away." Tony looked at the stretcher being pushed over, rolled his eyes helplessly, then sniffed and walked straight towards the person waiting for him.
Watching Tony getting closer and closer, the capable woman's lips uncontrollably curved into a smile, an innocent and lovely smile.
"Why are your eyes red? Haven't seen your boss in too long, have you~" Although Tony tried his best to be serious, the happiness in his tone couldn't be concealed.
"I'm crying tears of joy, I hate having to look for another job."
As for Watson, he was originally just quietly watching this warm scene from the side, but—why did he increasingly feel like they were flirting? And the extremely subtle kind—a playboy who sleeps with different women every day! A capable 'secretary' who watches him sleep with different women every day!
They actually played this kind of shy game, saying one thing but meaning another!
"Rhode, I think they need two giant light bulbs! What do you think?" Watson suggested to Rhode with a look of 'disgust'.
"I agree."
"Meow?"
Tony shrugged when he heard the two people next to him and said, "Then your vacation is over. Let me introduce you. You know Rhode, and this handsome young man, who is only slightly less handsome than me, is Watson Dialant. You just need to remember that he is a very formidable person."
"Hey, I'm Pepper Potts, Tony's secretary. Here's my contact information. Please call me if you need anything."
"Hello, Miss Potts, it's a pleasure to meet you." Watson took the business card and shook hands politely, then said to Rhode, "Rhode, would you mind giving me a ride home? I don't think their car is suitable for me."
"Ah haha, OK, I'll have someone send you back. Come on."
After giving Potts his contact number, Watson followed Rhode and left.
Bang bang.
"Sir, where to?"
"First send him to the hospital..." Potts hadn't finished speaking when Tony interrupted her and said, "No, I'm not going to the hospital. I just got out of that hellhole after being locked up for three months. I have two important things to do now! Ah no, three. First is to eat a cheeseburger, the other is..."
"OK, I know what it is..."
"NO, it's not what you're thinking. Second, I'm holding a press conference. Third! I need a suit, preferably a solemn one."
"You... why do you need that kind of clothes? You should go to the hospital immediately."
"I need to attend a funeral, it's very important. Hogan, drive, go change clothes... Ah, first go buy a hamburger."
--- Bang!
Watson, who had returned to his doorstep, got out of the car and turned to walk towards Uncle Parker's house.
"Salted Egg, wait at the door for a moment~ I'll give them a surprise later."
Watson walked and took out his key, muttering, "I wonder if I'll still have time to eat a double cheeseburger—"
Click~
"Uncle Parker~ Aunt Leah, I'm back~"
"Oh~ Our Flame Knight is back." Aunt Leah walked out of the kitchen and hugged Watson.
"Hey~ Aunt Leah, are you doing well? Um... what do you mean by Flame Knight?" Watson hugged Aunt Leah and asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, is our Flame Knight back? Just in time, we're about to leave too."
"Uncle Parker! What exactly is this Flame Knight you're talking about?" Watson heard Uncle Parker say the same thing, so he had to ask again.
"Son, it's about your last rescue, it made the New York Times. Now you're a hero—the Flame Knight! You've become the public heartthrob of New York girls, oh~ Hahaha~!"
"--- You guys are so boring--, and Flame Knight... that name is too old-fashioned. Alright, now, Uncle Parker, Aunt Leah. I have an important announcement to make!~" Watson sighed helplessly, then looked at the two people with puzzled expressions and said, "Our family might be welcoming a new member~"
Parker and Leah heard this and quickly asked, "Huh?? Did our great hero find a girlfriend?!"
