"He is Dr. Abraham, the scientist I am currently responsible for protecting." Peggy quietly explained to Aaron.
Aaron nodded, but his interest wasn't in Abraham nor did he inquire about Peggy's work. This made Peggy breathe a sigh of relief.
If Aaron had truly asked, she wasn't sure if she could have kept silent.
Perhaps out of guilt, Peggy proactively pulled Aaron to dance. She was very proactive and enthusiastic.
Aaron was a bit clumsy at first, but he quickly displayed an astonishing learning ability. He not only remembered every rhythm and beat but also skillfully led Peggy through the next moves.
The two quickly became the center of attention in the crowd.
Peggy's eyes were hazy.
Aaron possessed an endless magic, ethereal and mysterious, with a peculiar and ineffable aura like a deity.
No matter where he was, he could instantly capture everyone's gaze, becoming the focal point of the crowd.
Outside the ballroom, another woman stared intently at them. Her eyes were filled with envy and longing.
"I wish… I could be her."
"Hey, miss, perhaps you need a dance partner." Bucky walked up.
"Scram."
"Alright."
Bucky turned and left.
He came to Steve's side, his face full of dejection. "Want to laugh? Go ahead and laugh."
"That man is toxic. Ever since he appeared, I've repeatedly hit walls. He is my lifelong enemy."
Bucky sighed.
Steve glanced at Aaron, then at Peggy, and finally at Bucky.
His face was full of excitement. "I have been enlisted."
Upon seeing this, Bucky slapped his head. "It's over, another one's gone mad."
After a dance, at some unknown point, Aaron and Peggy quietly exited. Another woman also disappeared at the same time.
In the room next to Raven's, Raven was pressed against the wall, listening intently.
"Why is there no sound? I clearly saw them come back, but there's no sound."
Aaron naturally noticed Raven tracking them, so after returning and opening the adjacent room, he used the Mirror Dimension.
Like a magician, he created a romantically themed private room.
When Peggy emerged from the bathroom, she gasped in surprise at the sudden change in the space.
"Oh my God, you actually possess mysterious powers."
"Who exactly are you?"
"Want to know the answer? Then we'll talk about it another day."
That night, Earth lost a maiden.
That night, Peggy understood what paradise was and many people suffered from insomnia.
Howard was trying to verify the shallow theories Aaron had casually mentioned.
Raven was lost in thought.
Steve was too excited to sleep, and at the same time, he felt a sense of loss.
And Bucky was wondering where he had lost.
The timeline, at this moment, had shifted.
However, this timeline did not branch. It merely took twists and turns in certain places, then mysteriously reconnected with 2010, as if this timeline had always been this way.
The next day.
Peggy gritted her teeth and continued her work. She was responsible for a new training plan.
Meanwhile, Aaron took Raven to Manhattan Street, arriving at a bar.
"Sir, it's daytime now, we're not open."
"And you're not qualified to enter."
The security guard at the door looked at Aaron with disdain.
Aaron glanced at him, and the latter, terrified, instantly collapsed onto the ground as if having a seizure, shouting for his mother.
Raven looked at him curiously, but she was smart and didn't ask for the reason. Instead, she followed Aaron into the bar.
The two proceeded without hindrance.
Although it was daytime, this place was not devoid of customers. There were many well-dressed gentlemen in suits and wealthy ladies chatting with each other.
The servers walking by were either beautiful women or pretty boys. They wore gentle smiles on their faces, providing service to the guests.
Raven looked at the characters shining brightly not far away and slowly read them aloud.
"Hellfire Club?"
Just as she spoke, the crowd suddenly surged.
"It's the Black Queen."
"The Black Queen has come out."
At this moment.
A woman wearing a long black dress, with the languid posture of a high-ranking noblewoman, slowly walked out, supported by several maids.
She was beautiful, stunningly so. Yet, she was also very dangerous.
Because she was the Black Queen, the most senior and highest-ranking controller who had come from the original Britain Hellfire Club headquarters.
Her gaze swept across the crowd, observing the expressions of admiration, greed, or covetousness, her eyes holding disdain and contempt.
These insignificant scumbags!
She felt disdain in her heart until she saw Aaron and Raven in the crowd. She subconsciously ignored the small figure of Raven, fixing her gaze firmly on Aaron.
"This handsome man is unfamiliar. Is he new?" Selene's lips parted slightly, speaking with a faint, alluring voice.
Just listening to her made people fantasize and let their imaginations run wild.
The surrounding crowd appropriately displayed lecherous expressions. Even though they tried their best to suppress this feeling, wanting to show their gentlemanly side, they clearly couldn't resist Selene's charm.
But to Selene's surprise, Aaron was completely unaffected by her.
He smiled lightly and said, "To be precise, I haven't joined the club yet."
There's another expert!
Selene felt a moment of dizziness, she had actually been charmed by Aaron.
The women around them were also attracted by Aaron's magnetic voice, and smelling the faint, unusual fragrance in the air, they became even more frenzied.
Selene recovered and developed a strong interest in Aaron. She hadn't expected someone in this world to be able to resist her charm, or even influence her in return.
Hehe, this is truly interesting.
"In that case, since I happen to be free today, why don't I personally test you?" She chuckled softly.
A nameless passerby stepped forward, looking at Aaron with jealousy.
"Black Queen, this might not comply with procedures. His identity..."
Selene glanced over, and her languid eyes instantly became sharp,
"Here, I am the rule."
"Get lost."
The nameless passerby immediately fell silent and retreated deep into the crowd.
