Superman

"Thank you for your kindness, I am not very accepting of this."

In the study, Luke sat on a chair and waved his hand to reject the cigar handed over by Mr. President.

Many people know that this lieutenant general does not have any bad habits.

Do not smoke, but only taste the wine.

The only thing worth criticizing may be private life.

But this little problem is really insignificant for young people and upper class society.

Even the nominal leader of the country, the president who enters the White House, may not have any better private lives.

What's more, the lieutenant general of the Pentagon.

"Well, it is a good thing to have good habits. There are few young people like you who actively refuse to destroy the body."

The President did not feel angry, but complimented him.

"Yes, I value the regularity of work and rest."

Luke smiled slightly. He does some warm-up exercises to promote blood circulation before going to bed every day.

Then I sleep until dawn, and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day.

Like Malena, Peggy, Emma the White Queen...

All the women who spent the night with him said that the work and rest of the lieutenant general was normal.

"This is one of my few personal hobbies. I can't change it for a while, and I don't want to change it. The smell of tobacco can calm my mind and think calmly."

The President took out a premium cigar from the box, played with it for a while, and patiently smoked it with a long match, showing that he enjoyed the process very much.

"This box was given to me by Churchill. We have a common language in the taste of cigars. Although my personal doctor has instructed to reduce the intake of tobacco and alcohol, humans have no cigars and whiskey in their short lives. Doesn’t it lose most of its meaning."

Luke nodded in agreement. Although he was not interested in tobacco and alcohol, it was because of other hobbies.

"The Prime Minister also gave me a box. I will bring it over the next day and give it to your Excellency the President."

He wondered if Churchill gave away cigars when he met everyone. It is said that Roosevelt had also received it.

"That's so embarrassing."

The president laughed twice, then lowered his voice: "Don't let Beth know that she doesn't like me smoking cigars."

"Of course. This is a secret between men."

Luke blinked his eyes and replied very eloquently.

After a few minutes, the chat was over, and the two of them were back on track.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. has received intelligence and found that the Soviet Union has been acting frequently in recent times. Not only is it vigorously developing the nuclear industry, but also intends to restart the Super Soldier program during World War II. As far as I know, they have a name called Leviathan. The secret organization is actively recruiting biological experts and cultivating outstanding fighters."

In order to delay as much as possible, to create opportunities for Howard.

Luke opened his mouth and talked about the latest developments in the Soviet Union.

The President sitting across from him is not a mediocre politician.

On the contrary, he is extremely ambitious and enterprising.

After World War II, the president who entered the White House took the lead in proposing the strategic goal of seeking world hegemony.

The defeat of the Axis powers, coupled with the decline and weakening of Britain and France.

Relying on the developed military strength and economic accumulation, the bald eagle began to covet the throne of the world hegemon.

If it weren't for Atlantis's turnout, it would temporarily block the White House and the Pentagon, and prepare to intervene in other countries' internal affairs and implement global expansion.

At this time, maybe a bipolar pattern has been formed.

"Lieutenant General Cavill, the Red Empire is indeed worthy of vigilance. They may be the worst enemy!"

The President exhaled a mouthful of cyan smoke and said solemnly.

"Sometimes, I am also amazed by the firm belief of this group of people and their ability to act out of collectivism."

The winner of World War II was not only the quietly developed United States, but also a Siberian red bear.

Among the four-nation conference in Yalta, another celestial power appeared on the world stage and showed mysterious power.

That is an unopened copy, which is not included in the world map for the time being.

"Regarding the peace summit to be held in a few days, as well as the distribution of Atlantis' benefits, I will bother you, Lieutenant General Cavill."

The president put down a quarter of his cigars and solemnly said: "The future of the United States belongs to young people like you."

Luke chuckled, he didn't want to do front and back waves, it would be easy to be shot to death on the beach.

The bright future of the lighthouse country clearly belongs to a certain unborn real estate tycoon.

That is the most suitable person who can lead the United States to greatness again in his lifetime-squinting.

For the next forty minutes, the two people staying in the study talked a lot.

During the period, the president also asked Luke if he was interested in going to Moscow.

And at the worst point, the two sides started three wars, and the Soviet Union fired a nuclear bomb. Does he have the confidence to intercept it?

Luke naturally avoided talking about such a problem and was vague.

He is not the Manhattan Doctor in the next room, and he is not interested in engaging in humanoid nuclear deterrence.

"Let's stop here today, Beth's boneless steak should be ready too."

The president pressed off the cigar in his hand, waved his hand to diffuse the smell of tobacco, and opened the door with a smile.

Afterwards, he saw a scene that was very contradictory.

In the living room, Howard sits on the sofa, with the president's wife and the president's daughter on either side.

He seemed to have said something funny, making the other two people cover their mouths and chuckle, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"How is this going?"

The president has a dumb face and a complicated heart.

It feels inexplicably like being attacked by the old king next door to his wife and daughter.

Originally, he admired Howard's talent very much, and Stark Industries was also an important defense contractor for the Pentagon.

But now, the President looks at the man with a mustache who winks his eyebrows and tries his best to be humorous, but he looks more and more annoying.

"What are you talking about? I heard laughter in the study."

The President suppressed his anger and asked dryly.

"Your Excellency, I just talked about some of my experiences in the UK."

Howard cleared his throat and said in a serious tone: "I used to live in London, when the war hadn't started. For a while, I wanted to grow a beard in order to show my manhood, but the hotel owner laughed at me. "Ha, your mouth is like my wife's hair is not shaved", he really said that at the time, it was really rude."

"Then how do you answer?"

Luke followed up with a compliment.

"I looked in the mirror, then nodded,'Well, you're right, it's very similar', and the boss left proudly."

Howard said seriously, as if something happened.

The President's wife sitting next to her laughed and barked.

Women are always better at accepting colorful jokes than girls.

"Mr. Stark's experience is really rich."

The president didn't smile, and felt very dissatisfied with how close his wife was sitting with Howard.

"Anything else interesting? I want to hear it too, to gain some insight."

"It's still in London. It's the innkeeper. His wife usually works as an assistant to the magician in the theater. Once, he went home early and found his wife stripped naked and standing in the bedroom."

Howard touched his beard, and learned how to move and tone, and said earnestly: "The innkeeper felt very puzzled, so he immediately asked, his wife hesitated and didn't know how to explain."

"Later, under pressure from the boss, his wife said that he had recently learned a magic trick, and then shouted, "Now is the time to witness a miracle." A naked magician who was also undressed changed from a cupboard. Came out."

"This surprised the innkeeper. He didn't expect his wife to not only become alive, but also to change the other party's clothes. It was incredible."

This time it was the president's daughter who couldn't hold back a smile, shrugging her shoulders hard, showing two blushes on her round face.

After the warm-up jokes were finished, the wife of the president finally remembered the Texas off-bone steak and rushed into the kitchen.

The others also sat at the table, and it didn't take long for a seductive fragrance to float out.

"Really good craftsmanship."

Luke has no interest in the president's daughter, but he is full of praise for the steak made by the president's wife.

After one bite, the gravy is full and the taste is rich.

It neither looks greasy nor loses its fresh and tender taste, which reminds people of little Sheldon’s secret beef.

"Just eat happily."

The President's wife said reservedly.

She is used to the recognition of her cooking skills.

"Is there any secret recipe? It's so delicious! I've tasted beef like this. I'll go to the restaurant in the future, I'm afraid I won't order any more steaks."

Howard jumped out, the big chunks of beef couldn't stop his mouth.

"With all due respect, ma'am, I would like to exchange all shares in Stark Industries for this recipe."

Compared with Luke's plain praise, Howard's exaggerated statement is easier to win the favor of the president's wife.

This is the strength of the prodigal lover, dating expert, and arsonist.

The offensive directly against the president's daughter was too obvious and a bit too hasty.

Using roundabout tactics to please the President's wife is a wiser choice.

Of course, this was just to relieve Luke.

Howard also has no interest in becoming the president's son-in-law.

He is an indulgent and uninhibited prodigal, who cannot step into the grave of love so early-even if the president's daughter is also called Mary.

"One teaspoon of cumin, a cup of brown sugar, two teaspoons of smoked red pepper, three teaspoons of dried mustard..."

Some wives of the president happily said the secret recipe.

Howard made an expression of listening carefully, and took the paper and notes down.

It's like, he really cares about this secret beef recipe.

The president next to him was dull, and he couldn't wait to smash the steak on the plate on the other's face.

What is this guy doing to please my wife?

The president remembered the two previous jokes, and felt inexplicably like the hapless innkeeper.

During the twenty-minute meal, Howard's rainbow farts echoed on the table, compliments, and the laughter of the President's wife and her daughter.

As for the president?

He was like an outsider, unable to intervene at all, so he could only talk to Luke for a few words.

The marriage plan to promote his daughter was just like this, and Howard, who was a strong fan, made a mess.

After dinner, the living room was full of people.

While the President's wife was tidying up in the kitchen, Mr. President finally found an opportunity.

He deliberately ignored Howard, who was getting close to his daughter, and cordially pulled Luke to look like an enthusiastic elder.

"Lieutenant General Cavill, what do you think about family and marriage?"

The president knocked on the side and winked at his daughter by the way.

It's just that the latter is talking to Howard about Agatha Christie's latest novel, completely ignoring his father.

"I'm still young, I don't have enough experience, and I am not knowledgeable enough, there is nothing to say."

Luke smiled faintly, avoiding the topic.

"Your Excellency, when talking about this, do you want to introduce someone to me? I don't have any ideas in this aspect for the time being, but Howard has always wanted to find his ideal partner."

"If there is a suitable lady, I might as well introduce him."

"Right, Howard?"

Howard, who had been from Agatha Christie to Arthur Conan Doyle, nodded decisively.

There was a sincere look in his eyes, and his voice was low and said: "Yes, I have long wanted to stabilize and live a peaceful life. I just didn't find the soul mate I dreamed of."

"Your Excellency, although there are various rumors about Howard from the outside world, he is said to be dating three or four women at the same time a week, busy working during the day, going to the hotel at night, proficient in time management, and having a leg with many Hollywood female stars. "

Luke turned the topic more and more biased, and said vigorously: "But I can guarantee that Howard is definitely not as written in the newspaper. He is an upright person, fascinated by science, and is a friend worthy of associates. I believe that he can become a friend in the future. A qualified husband, an excellent father."

Before the stunned president came back to his senses, Howard said modestly: "Luke is the role model I need to learn from. Don't look at his young age, but he is clean and self-conscious, not close to female..."

The two cheeky guys, like cross talk, bluffed each other in crazy business, so that the president had no room to chip in.

After experiencing various accidents this evening, Mr. President was a little tired and finally gave up the idea of ​​promoting his daughter.

He waved his hand, expressing the meaning of seeing off the guests: "It is getting late, Lieutenant General Cavill, and... Mr. Stark, I won't leave you overnight."

Luke got up immediately after hearing this.

After a few greetings, he left with Howard.

"How is it? Well done, right?"

Howard walked out of the Blair State Hotel and said triumphantly.

"It's more than good. I'm worried that if I continue to stay, Mr. President will smash the wine I brought on your head."

Luke smiled.

Howard is worthy of being a friend of women, even the madam of the president can handle it skillfully.

"So, I paid a huge price. Luke, don't forget what you promised."

Remembering how the president looked at his eyes before leaving, Howard couldn't help but feel cold behind his back.

But, in order to step into the legendary magical world, what kind of sorcerer, succubus, centaur...

Even if the president puts his name on a small book, it is worth it!

"I have said that everyone is friends and will not lie to you."

Luke assured.

Anyway, he had participated in the peace summit in Paris, and he was going to Kama Taj, and there was no problem with Howard.

...

...

Blair State Guest House, Presidential Suite.

Sending away the two troublesome guys, the president returned to the study.

He needs to smoke a cigar and calm down.

"who are you?"

Just sitting on the chair, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the room.

The other party has his hands behind his back, wearing a weird purple helmet, and a purple and green vintage gown.

"You don't need to know who I am."

The stranger's voice was hoarse, his skin leaning toward the blue face, unconsciously showing a hint of arrogance.

"I have been the pharaoh of Egypt, the monarch of the Persian Empire... but I haven't tried it yet. What is it like to be president."

The frightened president wanted to speak out, but found that his mouth was closed tightly.

"That young lieutenant general is very strange. I haven't heard his name, and there shouldn't be this person in history."

The stranger talked to himself, pulled out the chair, and took the cigar in the President's hand.

"Huh! I also like the smell of tobacco. Howard Stark, he is a celebrity, worth noting. And Superman... I have to be careful."

"I have been observing this timeline for a while. It is not exactly the same as the world I have conquered. This is a good thing, and it arouses my interest."

"It's really not easy to avoid the Supreme Mage. I have been hiding for so long, taking advantage of the game between Gu Yi and Domam, and I found the opportunity."

"..."

The stranger was talking to himself, talking about something the president could not understand.

When the cigar was smoked one-third, a cry came from outside the study.

"Harry, honey, the bath water is ready."

The President's wife knocked on the door.

"Okay, I'll be out right away."

The stranger fiddled with his throat, and his voice became like the president.

"An interesting life is about to begin."

He stood up, took a potion from his belt and punched it into his neck.

Nanoworms that are invisible to the naked eye are injected into the body, transforming their appearance into a presidential appearance in just a few seconds.

The latter sat in a chair, unable to move, but his eyes were full of horror.

The president looked in a mirror, seeing the stranger and gradually becoming himself.
