"Of course, you're very welcome!"
Adam naturally wouldn't refuse when he heard Tony wanted to participate in the Ability User Tournament.
To make a big splash with the Ability User Tournament, the more people who participate, the better the effect, especially World-famous individuals like Tony Stark who inherently bring a massive following.
Not just Tony, he planned to go back and talk to Banner, and persuade Banner to join as well.
As long as Banner and Hulk communicate well, he can transform into Hulk at any time to fight, and he will definitely be a dark horse in the Ability User Tournament.
"Ring ring ring!"
Just then, Tony's phone suddenly rang.
Adam subconsciously glanced over and saw a familiar figure on the phone screen.
"It's Black Widow."
The picture currently displayed on Tony's phone was indeed S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Black Widow Natasha.
However, after a moment's thought, he immediately guessed what was going on.
Since Tony had transformed into Iron Man in advance, Nick Fury would naturally send an Agent to infiltrate Tony's side for surveillance and protection.
Coupled with Tony's philandering nature, sending Black Widow was perfectly suitable.
And if he wasn't mistaken, Nick Fury might have already met Tony.
"I'll take this call."
Tony picked up his phone:
"I understand, Natalie, have Obadiah wait for me in his office. I also have some Things to ask him."
"Who is this beauty?"
After Tony finished his call, Adam immediately took the phone from his hand and pointed to Black Widow's photo on it.
Tony instantly showed a smile that only men would understand:
"She's my new secretary, Natalie. Pretty, isn't she? If you like her, I can introduce her to you.
Don't worry, I haven't gotten her yet."
Although today's events had a huge impact on him and caused significant changes, his philandering and playboy nature were not within the scope of those changes.
"Then I really have to thank you for introducing me to a top Agent."
Adam replied with a half-smile.
Tony was immediately stunned:
"Top Agent?"
"Her name is Natasha Romanoff, code-named Black Widow. She's one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top Agents, most skilled at using her beauty for disguise, infiltration, and intelligence gathering."
Adam revealed Black Widow's information without holding back.
Tony's face immediately showed an ugly expression. He was a person who hated being deceived, especially by someone who had already gained his trust:
"S.H.I.E.L.D., so it was arranged by that one-eyed man named Nick Fury.
Fine, I refused to join them, and he sent someone to monitor me. I even trusted her so much, letting her temporarily replace Pepper as my personal secretary."
"You don't need to worry too much. S.H.I.E.L.D. always operates this way. But aren't you looking for an internal spy? You can just use them to help."
Adam smiled, left a sentence, and without further conversation, used Apparition to disappear from the spot.
Although he had a cooperative relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., it was limited to cooperation based on mutual interests.
So he didn't mind occasionally causing them some trouble, and it could also make Tony more wary of S.H.I.E.L.D., preventing him from being completely drawn in by that old fox, Nick Fury.
With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help, Tony wouldn't suffer a disadvantage against Obadiah Stane.
Little trash like Obadiah Stane really wasn't worth him wasting his precious time on.
"Bring Dr. Banner to my office."
Apparitioning to his office at headquarters, Adam pressed the phone on his desk.
Ten minutes later, Banner, dressed in a suit, walked into the office.
"Hello, Dr. Banner, I haven't formally introduced myself. My name is Adam, and I am also the founder of the League of Heroes."
Adam extended his hand and shook Banner's. Banner said with a solemn expression:
"Mr. Adam, thank you for saving me and for allowing me to control him, so I can continue to live like a normal person."
If Adam hadn't helped this time, he would either have transformed into Hulk and escaped, then spent his life hiding after recovering, unable to see his girlfriend Betty again, or been captured by General Ross for human experimentation.
So, deep down, he was truly very grateful to Adam.
He just hadn't expected that the famous strongest hero and the founder of the League of Heroes were the same person.
"Maintaining peace, punishing evil, and upholding justice—these are the tenets upon which I founded the League of Heroes.
I have already met the President. General Ross will pay for his actions, and the government will no longer send people to harass you."
Adam replied with a smile.
"That's truly wonderful. I will control him and not let him cause any trouble."
Banner also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Adam's words.
Adam, however, rolled his eyes and said:
"Dr. Banner, your thinking is flawed. Don't view him as trouble; he is you, and he should become your aid.
Just like my League of Heroes, many people in it, when they awakened their abilities, were treated as monsters, fearing that their abilities would harm others.
But as long as you sincerely accept your abilities and learn to control them properly, you can also become a Superhero who helps others.
A gun can kill, but it can also save lives."
"But... his appearance, I'm afraid ordinary people will find it very difficult to accept him."
Banner sighed.
In fact, after communicating with Hulk, he had also understood many Things. But even if he could accept it, could other ordinary people accept it?
He estimated that just seeing Hulk's appearance would scare people half to death.
"That's not a problem. Look at Thing in our company; isn't he also very popular?"
Adam gestured for Banner to sit down:
"I have an idea that could make the public accept and like Hulk. This way, in the future, even if you let him out on the street, it probably won't be a big issue."
"You mean for him to become a Superhero like Thing?"
Banner was very clever and immediately guessed Adam's meaning.
"But I'm a scientist, and I prefer to stay in the lab. As for Hulk, I can only let him out occasionally for some fresh air. It's impossible for him to constantly go on missions like other Superheroes."
"It's alright. You can first participate in this World's Greatest Ability User Tournament to let the public get to know Hulk. With Hulk's strength, he's sure to gain many fans who like him.
Afterward, you can have a nominal position at the company. You don't need to be full-time like other heroes; just participating once or twice occasionally to let everyone know will suffice.
Our company also has many part-time Superheroes, just like Spider-Man and the female knight in this mission. In real life, they are both university students and also work as Superheroes part-time."
Adam explained with a smile.
Banner's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he stood up somewhat excitedly:
"It can be like that? I really don't know how to thank you, Mr. Adam."
"Hahaha, it's a small matter. If you really want to thank me, I actually do have a personal matter that needs your help."
Adam smiled and pressed Banner back onto the sofa.
"I like to train in the Gravity Chamber. If Dr. Banner is willing to help research and improve my Gravity Chamber, that would be even better.
Of course, this is a request. I won't force you if you're unwilling."
"Willing, Mr. Adam! I will do my utmost to help you improve the Gravity Chamber!"
Banner agreed without any hesitation.
Compared to all the help Adam had given him, this matter was truly insignificant.
He even felt that Adam had only found such an easy task, one that suited his personality, so that he wouldn't feel guilty.
Adam, this person, is truly... too kind!
