Victor, who was observing in the dark, also breathed a sigh of relief at Wanda and her brother's restraint.
Fortunately, Wanda's mind was clear and she wasn't blinded by hatred.
Otherwise...
Tony, wearing the Mk-2, with his telekinetic powers severely depleted, would not have been her match.
Moreover,
if a conflict had broken out between these two sides, it would have greatly affected the subsequent plan.
As for Tony's tsundere remarks, Victor not only didn't get angry, but was amused.
That's it, this style is very Tony Stark, and it's also Tony's charm.
If Tony had apologized directly just now, Victor would have been worried about the hidden danger of his persona changing.
Therefore,
Victor said, "Tony Stark, of course I know him, the playboy who was kidnapped. My new villa is next to your house, you can come over to visit when you have time."
To be able to buy another villa next to Tony's seaside villa, his net worth certainly wouldn't be too low, so the "remuneration" Tony offered just now naturally lost its appeal.
Tony's mind was very agile, and he immediately changed the "remuneration."
"Alright, then I'll have Pepper visit first. If what you said is true, I think Stark Industries will have a new partner."
Victor smiled slightly: "We will have opportunities to cooperate, but I have to say, my first impression of you is not good."
"Oh? Really?" Tony's tone was very surprised: "On the contrary, my first impression of you is very good. You will definitely be a good bodyguard. I'll have Happy save a position for you."
Tsk tsk.
Tongue-lashing Tony, indeed.
But it's not enough!
"My next plan also needs a chief scientist to support it. I originally booked a green-skinned guy, but if you come... I can let you be his assistant."
Victor retorted unceremoniously.
"Ha, assistant? Me? Tony Stark?" Tony's voice rose a lot: "Is there anyone smarter than me in this world?"
"Like Howard Stark?"
"...I suddenly don't want you to live near my house. I'm going to consider buying the land near you and then making you scram."
"Sorry, the nearby land is also included in the property rights."
"Seeing that you can talk so much, it seems your body is very healthy." Tony sprayed flames from his hands and feet, hovering slightly unsteadily: "It's really unpleasant to chat with you.
Also,
I'm not trying to make connections. Your appearance and voice are a bit familiar, but the person in my memory who called me Daddy shouldn't have your net worth. It might just be a resemblance."
After saying this,
Tony didn't wait for Victor to reply, increased the energy output, and shot flames into the sky, leaving without hesitation.
It made Victor's chest feel blocked with Qi.
--- He didn't know if this guy recognized him or was just taking advantage of him verbally.
But no matter what,
this childish temper of making people sick before leaving, this style is very Tony --- Ugh! So annoying!
But now is not the time to think about this.
His gaze turned to Wanda and her brother, whose eyes were still fixed on the direction Tony left. With night vision, he could clearly see the unconcealed hatred, malice, curses, and other negative emotions in their eyes.
The placement of these siblings is also a problem.
If they were given money and sent back to Sokovia, in order to get revenge, nine out of ten they would still join HYDRA's human experiments.
Victor didn't want Wanda to go through all that again.
If they stayed... how should they be placed? Under what name?
Victor couldn't help but get a headache.
While he was thinking, Alice prompted that Felicia was calling. She had just arrived in downtown Los Angeles and wanted to request a rendezvous.
This was a slum area, so it wasn't good to let her come over. Victor told her to wait where she was and that he would go find her.
He hung up the communication.
Pietro and Wanda also withdrew their gazes and returned to their normal state.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Victor always felt that Wanda's gaze towards him seemed to carry a different kind of emotion?
Hmm... an illusion, right, after all, he was wearing Elizabeth's face.
"Ahem, I say." Victor cleared his throat: "Do you have any plans next?"
Under the bright moonlight, the three met face to face for the first time. Pietro was still a bit slow, but Wanda recognized Victor at a glance --- this was the only opposite sex she had hugged since childhood, besides her family.
"It's you!" Wanda exclaimed: "Why are you here just now?"
Victor took out his phone and shook it: "I was going to my new residence, but your brother called me. I heard something was wrong, so I tracked the phone signal and came over."
This information was a bit much.
Tony Stark's new neighbor, a powerful individual who can track phone signals, a powerful Mutant.
And he's rich, so handsome, and willing to help... Wanda and Pietro exchanged glances, both seeing hope in each other's eyes --- this was the best opportunity to get close to their enemy.
Victor naturally saw their postures.
This made him a little disgusted.
No one wants to be used, and there's also the possibility of offending the future Iron Man.
But...
Given that the other party is the future Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver... Victor glanced at the promotion mission. The mission progress was already three-fifths complete.
Alright.
Let's take them to the villa first, there are plenty of rooms anyway.
Then he would find an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding between them and Tony --- yes, Victor was sure that their hatred was just a misunderstanding.
Just as he was thinking about how to speak,
Wanda suddenly went limp and fell straight to the ground. It happened so suddenly that Pietro didn't react in time, but Victor promptly wrapped her in his telekinesis and lifted her.
Hmm... the size feedback from this telekinesis really doesn't seem like what an 18-year-old girl should have.
After Pietro hugged Wanda, Victor regretfully withdrew his telekinesis.
Then he looked at Wanda again.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her breathing was short, and her face in the green world of night vision was much paler than her surrounding skin tone... Something was wrong!
Victor had originally thought that Wanda's sudden condition was an act to gain his sympathy or something, and then he would take them in.
But she seemed to be genuinely unconscious?
Because the light was dim, Pietro didn't notice Wanda's abnormal complexion. He softly called out Wanda's name while gently shaking her, which made Victor's eyes go a little straight.
Hey, hey, this isn't trying to gain sympathy, this is outright seduction!
Forcing his gaze away, Victor said, "Pietro, your sister seems to have really fainted. My car is nearby. Carry her and follow me. I'll take you to the hospital. I'll pay for the hospitalization this time."
After speaking,
Victor led the way out of the alley, leaving Pietro with a somewhat strange expression. After a few soft attempts to get a response and failing, he was truly anxious now.
She really fainted! It wasn't an act!
Seeing Victor already walking away, Pietro immediately put his hands around Wanda's waist and under her knees, preparing to carry her in a bridal style.
As a result, when he exerted force, Wanda didn't get picked up, and he himself fell to the ground.
He had been beaten for so long earlier. He didn't feel it when the situation was urgent, but now that he tried to exert force, he realized that his bones were probably cracked in many places. Let alone carrying someone, he probably had trouble walking himself.
He gasped in pain.
But seeing Victor about to disappear at the alley entrance, Pietro ignored the pain and quickly called out to Victor for help.
Victor, who had walked to the alley entrance, heard him and had to turn back. Looking at the siblings lying on the ground, his trigeminal nerve ached a little.
Why did he feel like he had gotten into big trouble?
"Can you walk by yourself?" Victor asked.
"No problem." Pietro quickly nodded: "Please carry my sister, I can walk by myself."
"Ah, alright."
Victor responded, bent down, first helped Wanda sit up, and then with his other hand, he put it under her knees and lifted her in a bridal carry. Wanda's right side of her full softness naturally pressed against his chest.
But Victor had no time to enjoy that softness.
Because...
His ribs and lumbar vertebrae, which had been somewhat fractured by Tony, were fine before, but with this exertion, he suddenly felt a strain in his back, and he gasped in pain.
This scene, in Pietro's eyes, looked more like he was deliberately taking advantage of Wanda, "greedily" sniffing Wanda's body scent --- they hadn't bathed in days, and he didn't even mind the dirt.
Ahem.
Otherwise, why would Victor, who clearly had telekinesis, carry her by hand?
But then he thought that his great revenge still depended on Victor... Forget it, I'll endure!
On the other side,
Victor also noticed Pietro's peculiar gaze and felt very annoyed.
Telekinesis?
Ninety percent of it had been depleted during the first impact, and then he lifted Wanda once, so there wasn't much telekinesis left.
If he continued to consume it, he would also faint from mental exhaustion.
But having soft jade in his arms was an undeniable fact.
He could only endure the pain and walk out step by step.
Alas.
It's hard to be a good person now!
