… …

Soon, another week had passed.

During this week, Elizabeth had been with Liang Yue, accompanying him to shop and play all over New York City during the day, and tormenting him to death at night.

However, both of them knew that their separation was inevitable.

Just this morning, when the sky had just brightened, the woman got up early from bed.

After dressing and grooming, and putting on neat clothes, she got into a specially treated bulletproof car under Liang Yue's farewell and hurried to the airport.

After watching the other party's convoy turn out of the street corner, Liang Yue returned to the hotel room.

With a flip of his sleeve, he took an apple from the stronghold world, took a bite, and sat leisurely on the sofa. Then he took out a throwing knife about a foot long and examined it carefully.

Needless to say, this thing was naturally the throwing knife that had been refreshed in the system store before, from the game world of Symphony of the Night, one of the many sub-weapons.

The sub-weapon in front of him, although said to be a throwing knife, is actually more like a short sword.

The blade is straight, and the edge of the sword is also exceptionally sharp.

After appearing, it is also surrounded by a layer of blue halo, and the body occasionally flashes twice, appearing somewhat unreal.

Obviously, in addition to the body being a sharp throwing knife, some other magical attributes have also been added to the blade.

At a glance, it looks very unusual!

Before, when Elizabeth was there, she was inseparable from him, like glue and lacquer~

Of course, Liang Yue was a little inconvenient to take it out.

Since the blonde girl herself said that she was not ready to accept his secret, then Liang Yue naturally could not expose too many real things in front of the other party.

The reason why Liang Yue bought this dagger was naturally not because of its attack power, or the characteristic of being able to launch unlimitedly under certain conditions.

That is, after buying this throwing knife from the store, a sub-weapon equipment box was instantly added to Liang Yue's personal equipment interface, which can be specially used to place this throwing knife… …

In comparison, the Oak Wand that was refreshed in the store earlier seems much more useless.

Like the world it belongs to, it gives people a strange feeling.

Harry Potter is clearly just a low-magic world, and those wizards holding wands can't even cast a fireball, but there are still some magical items related to the rules.

Their existence, like Gandalf, the berserker mage, looks awkward and discordant.

This oak wand may not even be as practical as the low-level goods produced in the Gran Forest dungeon.

Therefore, although its selling price is not high, Liang Yue would not spend such unjustifiable points.

… …

"System, what price do I have to pay to use sub-weapons normally?"

Playing with the throwing knife in his hand, the edge of the blade danced gracefully, like a butterfly dancing, accompanied by a flash of blue light, which was really dizzying.

But that's all, because at this stage, if Liang Yue wants to deal with distant enemies, firearms are undoubtedly the best choice.

And in close combat, firearms can also play a significant role, and the long sword is naturally his main weapon.

Therefore, the main advantage of this throwing knife is that it is a sub-weapon.

It opens up a new equipment slot for Liang Yue, increasing his equipment potential, and being able to use it without switching weapons may be its biggest advantage.

But how to use the sub-weapon has become a difficult point for him.

Because in the original world of this throwing knife, to drive the sub-weapon, a special heart-shaped substance must be consumed.

Liang Yue does not have this thing now~

"Ding~! From the moment you obtain and open the sub-weapon slot, the host has a certain chance to explode heart-shaped energy when destroying targets or destroying items."

"… …"

"Is it so simple and rude? It seems that this so-called heart-shaped energy must be nothing great~"

While muttering to himself, Liang Yue couldn't help but scan the furnishings around the room.

His eyes focused on the lamps, expensive vases, and the grandfather clock for a while.

"Forget it~ I'll wait until I get to the dungeon to talk about it. It's refreshing to smash around here, but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it at that time… …"

So far, Liang Yue had been staying in the presidential suite of this hotel for more than a week, costing several thousand dollars a day, which was indeed a bit of a waste for him.

Fortunately, after sending Elizabeth away, he finally got some free personal time.

In fact, given Liang Yue's current situation, he could completely live in the stronghold world, and real estate in the real world had little practical significance.

Apart from serving as a disguise, it was mostly used to entertain guests.

Of course, the house in Brooklyn that my mother owned couldn't be lost~

Currently, Elizabeth's people had also commissioned a professional team to rebuild it on the original site, but to be honest, Liang Yue didn't dare to trust the work efficiency of these Westerners at all.

Even with the urging of powerful figures and heavy financial pressure, the newly built house definitely couldn't be inhabited without a few months of buffer time.

In the previous week, Elizabeth had taken him back to the construction site to take a look.

At that time, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to expose too much of his abilities, and that the walls of modern buildings still needed to have wiring and various pipeline installation reservations...

Liang Yue really wanted to go up and help them at the time…

"Besides, although most of the real estate in reality is for disguise, it is also indispensable."

"In addition, one day in the future, if Teacher Shizuka and Yuriko and her daughter come out of the stronghold world, they will inevitably need a place to cover their tracks."

"My mother's property won't work; it's located in a mid- to high-end residential area, with many people and prying eyes, and it's also close to the homes of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents."

"Hmm~ It seems that buying real estate is imperative~"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue put away the flying knife in his hand, walked to the glass mirror to tidy up his clothes, called hotel service, and then slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the hotel door, the staff had already promptly driven his new car out.

This car was also something that they compensated him with, except that the brand had been changed from the original Hummer to a Land Rover, and it was also a modified and upgraded version.

After getting in the car, Liang Yue flipped his hand and handed a large bill to the staff member who drove the car over, and then stepped on the gas and drove away.

To be honest, Liang Yue had always been very unaccustomed to this so-called tipping culture.

It was troublesome, not to mention he often forgot to give it.

If he hadn't seen Elizabeth's behavior of tipping the staff when he went out with her before, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Without a word along the way, after a burst of speed, Liang Yue quickly arrived at the foot of Stark Tower.

After finding a paid parking space to park the car, and going through a security check, he arrived at the front desk of the building.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm looking for Tony Stark."

"May I ask your name? Did you make an appointment before?"

"My name is Liang Yue. I didn't make an appointment, but you can give him a call. He should be very happy that I'm here. Hmm~ If he's still busy with research and development, then you can also notify Miss Pepper first."

"Okay, please wait a moment~ Mr. Liang Yue."

…

After a while, a lady with dark red long hair and wavy curls, dressed in OL attire, walked down from the elevator in a hurry. After scanning the lobby, she went straight to Liang Yue.

"Black Widow? This plot is progressing really fast, but calculating the time, it's about time."

Looking at the enchanting figure, with a charming smile on her face, and walking towards him with cat-like steps, Liang Yue was slightly lost for a moment.

"Hello, are you Mr. Liang Yue?"

Black high heels stopped one meter in front of him. The Black Widow asked him knowingly at this time.

"Hello, Miss Natasha~"

Liang Yue smiled directly at this famous super agent.

"Please come with me, President Pepper Potts is waiting for you in the office."

After hearing his address to her, the Black Widow tilted her pretty face slightly, took a deep look at him, and then led him to the elevator from which she came.

"Oh? Miss Pepper has been promoted to president? It seems that the step is a bit big."

"Stark is not in this building now, but he left a message saying that if Mr. Liang Yue comes to find him, he will send you to his current residence."

"His residence… Malibu Beach?"

"…"

Following the Black Widow's enchanting back into the elevator, after the elevator doors closed, this dreaded Black Widow put aside her official business posture and turned to face Liang Yue with her arms folded.

"If I remember correctly, we haven't met before, Mr. Liang Yue. May I ask how you know my name?"

"Ah, since Coulson came to my house last time and expressed his intention to recruit me, I deliberately checked some information about your S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"Oh? What did you find out?"

"The situation is a bit complicated. You seem to have been thoroughly infiltrated. The current situation can be said to be very dangerous."
