A few days flashed by, and New York had been feeling quite oppressive recently.
The sky looked very gloomy, as if a storm was brewing, but it had yet to break.
Levi was also waiting for the storm to arrive, frequently going in and out of his company.
In the afternoons, if he had time, he would go see Mei Parker or Maria Hill.
Or he would go shopping with Gwen.
But every time they were halfway through shopping, Gwen would run off…
If he didn't know she was Ghost Spider, Levi would have thought Gwen was doing it on purpose, looking down on him.
But there was no helping it; this was what it felt like to date a superhero.
If the other party didn't run off midway, he would even suspect he had found a fake superhero…
It was like Superman and Lois; if Lois hadn't been understanding, it probably would have ended long ago.
Dating a superhero was clearly fraught with difficulties!
"Obadiah Stane, that coward, I gave him so many favorable conditions, yet he still hasn't made a move."
Sitting in his office, Levi complained.
Red Queen told him that Obadiah Stane was in a state of hesitation.
He still needed Levi to give him a push.
Levi made some arrangements, and then his phone rang.
It was Gwen from outside calling.
"Boss, Professor Connors wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Levi was also curious; it was rare for Professor Connors to come looking for him proactively.
After all, good bosses like Levi were rare; aside from the slightly high pressure he put on him, he was very supportive in other aspects.
"Li."
"Professor Connors, is there something you need?"
Levi asked curiously.
Professor Connors looked a bit embarrassed but still spoke, "There are a lot of things in the lab right now, and those scientists…"
He was full of disdain, but since they were colleagues, he gave them some face.
"I think the company still needs to recruit other talents, preferably in biology."
Clearly, he couldn't handle everything alone.
And while the current staff at the company could assist, they lacked the spark of ideas.
Levi couldn't guarantee anything about this and could only say, "I'll do my best."
"Alright."
Professor Connors didn't stay long; he was the type who couldn't sit still, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left.
There was nothing Levi could do but have Red Queen find suitable candidates.
What he could do now was poach people from universities.
Soon, Red Queen screened out some individuals, all of whom were talents with multiple Dr. degrees.
"Hmm?"
Levi took a look and immediately found a familiar person.
"Name: Bruce Banner."
"A World-renowned physicist, possessing seven Dr. degrees, including one in biology."
"Previously infected by gamma rays, he transforms into a monster whenever he gets angry or panicked."
"…"
Red Queen's information was very detailed.
Levi said, "He's already turned into the Hulk; he's clearly an unstable factor."
To this, Red Queen replied, "Boss, I observed him, and he has already mastered the technique of controlling himself."
"Moreover, the Hulk he transforms into also possesses a mind and is highly likely to be communicable."
Hearing this, Levi felt that this seemed like a good choice.
Others might not be able to communicate with Hulk.
But he had telepathy!
"But he is currently being hunted by the Military."
Levi looked at the information: "General Ross is determined to capture him."
This was a difficult problem to solve.
However, seeing General Ross, Levi still had some ideas.
Because General Ross not only didn't have problems but also did very well later, even becoming the President of America more than ten years later.
It was simply unbelievable.
It just so happened that this was an election year, and elections were about to take place soon, at which point Matthew Ellis would replace Barack as the new President.
Clearly, Levi had never heard of either Matthew Ellis or Barack before.
Levi's idea was to establish a good relationship with General Ross.
This was not only necessary but extremely necessary.
General Ross was already a three-star General in the Army at this time, much higher in rank than Rhodes.
If he cooperated with General Ross, the benefits would clearly be greater.
After all, Rhodes was Tony Stark's man, and Levi couldn't rely solely on them.
…
Night, Stark Tower.
On the rooftop of a building next door, Black Cat Felicia was squatting in a corner like a kitten.
She didn't expect Levi to give her a task so quickly.
And it was completely inconsistent with her identity!
She was a Boss jewel thief!
Now Levi was actually telling her to leave some traces in an office without stealing anything.
This made her feel like she had strength but nowhere to use it.
She was a Boss thief, for crying out loud!
But there was no helping it; when under someone's roof, one had to bow one's head.
Now Levi was the 'Boss' of her, this cat.
Although she was very unconvinced, she knew she had no escape.
And Levi's reward also made her very eager.
Who wouldn't want to be whitewashed?
Therefore, once Stark Industries' lights went out, Black Cat Felicia took action.
She jumped straight down, then used her grappling hook to fly over, entering the building's interior via the route arranged by Red Queen.
Then, she climbed through the ventilation ducts all the way to Obadiah Stane's office.
She deliberately left a few flaws, repositioning the keyboard and mouse, but not too obviously, making it look 'accidental'.
Then there were the chairs, and even the bookshelf showed signs of being rummaged through.
After confirming everything, Black Cat Felicia finally left.
"Can you assign me some more challenging tasks?"
She complained to Red Queen.
Red Queen replied, "You did well; I have already erased one of your criminal records. Do your job properly."
With that, Red Queen disappeared.
After all, she was an AI, leaving Black Cat helpless.
Black Cat Felicia knew this, which was why she didn't think of anything else.
Unless she stopped using electronic products and the internet from now on…
Otherwise, it was better to be obedient.
…
Obadiah Stane was very hesitant and conflicted.
Of course, he wanted to overthrow Tony Stark, and even wanted to buy Tony's life.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have bribed gangs in the Middle East to deal with Tony.
But unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned.
Tony Stark successfully returned.
In this situation, it made Obadiah Stane afraid to act; not only did he not dare to act, but he even had to play along with Tony Stark.
His ambition gradually died down, and he no longer wanted to deal with Tony Stark.
Under normal circumstances, he was ready to give up.
But at this moment, Levi delivered iron monger into his hands.
This made Obadiah Stane realize that someone knew what he had done.
So Obadiah was caught in a dilemma, and his thoughts changed again.
However, he was full of hesitation about whether to make a move.
At this point, his character flaws were exposed without a doubt.
Obadiah's indecisiveness was destined to prevent him from succeeding, and Levi was destined to only use him.
