American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Back in his office, Lynn pondered James Duke's words.

Next month on the 6th is the engagement ceremony of Jessica Miles, a senior alumna, to the son of Andrew Wayne, one of the nine Supreme Court justices.

According to Duke, after the engagement ceremony that day, he was to be introduced to all the members of the fraternity.

So, is this the final step in formally recruiting me into Hydra?

If that's the case, then what kind of "emotion" should I use?

First came shock, then anger followed by fear? Or perhaps it was a forced choice after boarding the pirate ship?

No matter what kind of expression you make, you have to express it just right.

If you're surrounded by a bunch of old silver coins, and your expression is even slightly off, you'll probably give yourself away.

Just as Lynn Hall was pondering this, Barbara walked in wearing a white shirt and a pencil skirt.

"Boss, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Looking at her slender, shapely legs encased in black stockings, Lynn Hall asked, "Who put this outfit on you?"

"And besides, wasn't your hair red? Why did you dye it blonde?"

"Gwen's hair is blonde, isn't it? And boss, don't you like it?"

Barbara tossed her blonde hair and leaned closer to Lynn, laughing, "And Alice told me that your favorite thing is black stockings and beautiful legs!"

Watching Barbara deliberately showcasing her strengths, Lynn shook his head and chuckled, "Tsk...you're trying to seduce your boss!"

"Yes, I'm seducing you, so what?"

Making no attempt to hide her intentions, Barbara sat directly on Lynn Hall's lap: "Why be so hesitant when you meet someone you like?"

"Boss, do you know how pitiful a nineteen-year-old girl has never held hands or kissed a man?"

"Other girls are enjoying love in high school, or even middle school, but what about me? Because of my mutant identity, I have to be careful every day, and I have to keep my distance from others while I'm in school!"

"If I weren't pretty, it wouldn't matter, but I have so many suitors, yet I'm too afraid to approach them!"

With her arms wrapped around Lynn Hall's neck, Barbara grinned and said, "Now that you've got my back, I'm going to indulge in the youth I've wasted!"

Feeling Lynn's hand gently caressing her beautiful legs, Barbara bit her lip, then leaned close to Lynn's ear and said, "Boss, do you think I don't know how many times you've secretly looked at my legs!"

Hearing Barbara's soft, sweet voice, Lynn Hall patted her shapely bottom: "That's appreciation, and it's perfectly legitimate!"

"I don't care, anyway..."

Before she could finish speaking, Barbara found herself being forced to kneel on the ground.

"Trying to seduce me? Ha, looks like you'll learn the price of seducing your boss. On behalf of the Department of Justice, I sentence you to caning. Do you intend to appeal?"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Barbara instinctively opened her mouth wide.

Hmm... This is the price of recklessly enjoying youth!

"call.."

I breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the remote to turn on the TV hanging on the wall.

On television, Tony Stark is being interviewed by a large number of media outlets.

Everyone was curious about what that mechanical prosthetic limb he was talking about was.

Tony Stark is shining brightly in front of the camera, while Barbara, kneeling under the desk, looks rather awkward.

However, both Lynn and Tony Stark were extremely excited at that moment.

Lynn reluctantly picked up her phone when it rang on her desk.

"Don't use your teeth, haven't you ever had an ice cream cone before?"

He gently patted Barbara's head, watching her roll her eyes at him before changing her strategy.

Lynn Hall then answered the phone.

The moment the call connected, an excited voice came from the other end: "Mr. Hall, Stark Industries stock has gone crazy!"

Inside a securities firm in New Jersey.

Watching Stark Industries' stock price soar, brokerage manager Daniel Wise excitedly said, "The Stark Industries stock you bought is now worth several times more, and it's still going up."

"Especially after Tony Stark gave a television interview stating that he did indeed manufacture the flying prosthetic limbs, the stock price soared... Mr. Hall."

Halfway through the conversation, I noticed something slightly off about Lynn Hall's voice on the other end of the phone.

Daniel Wise quickly said, "Mr. Hall, have I disturbed you?"

"fine!"

Seeing the awkward Barbara, Lynn opened the drawer, took out the popping candy that Jessica had left behind, and handed it to Barbara.

Seeing her confused look, Lynn gestured for her to eat the popping candy: "Daniel, exactly how many times did it multiply?"

"It's currently seven times, Mr. Hall. I believe Stark Industries' stock can increase at least thirteen to fifteen times!"

Daniel was somewhat surprised to hear Lynn Hall suddenly gasp on the other end of the phone.

"That's settled then, Daniel. You're the professional; just sell when it's at its peak!"

"Alright, Mr. Hall, I won't bother you any longer!"

Looking puzzled, Daniel hung up the phone, scratched his head, and continued to stare intently at the soaring stock price.

After half an hour.

Joey from the Information Department arrived outside Lynn's office, and just as he was about to knock, he heard Barbara coughing violently from inside.

When he knocked on the door and entered the office, he gave Barbara a strange look as she gulped down water from a cup.

He then placed the USB drive on Lynn's desk: "Boss, I hacked into Obadiah Stane's computer, and I've found what I was looking for!"

"He did have connections with the Middle Eastern armed group that kidnapped Tony Stark, and he secretly funded them with weapons and a large amount of money."

"Furthermore, I also followed the trail and found out the details of Stark Industries weapons that Obadiah Stan had sold to various parts of the world through private channels over the years."

"Boss, this guy not only sells weapons to the Middle East, but also to Africa and Eastern Europe. I think there must be some forces supporting him behind the scenes."

"It's very likely someone in Congress or the military!"

Upon hearing Joey's words, Lynn Hall picked up the USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and glanced at it.

In addition to several videos, there are also some details, which record in detail the list of various weapons for sale and the information of the buyers.

"Thank you for your hard work, Joey."

"Boss, if you really think I've worked hard, then please raise my level. Alice is already S14, and I'm only S12."

"Okay, let's talk about it next year after I become a supervisor!"

"Tch, all he does is make empty promises!"

Before turning to leave, Joey glanced at Barbara, who had returned to normal, took a light sniff of the air, and then chuckled.
