Superman Marvel Adventures

Christine simply nodded without saying a word, but at that moment, Christine was happy, or at least that's what she thought.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the two people who were still asleep, waking Adam from his sleep.

Adam opened his eyes, looking at the beautiful woman still in his arms. He felt incredibly calm, a peace he had never felt before. All of this was thanks to her. Thinking this, Adam stroked Christine's face, his eyes filled with love. Christine, who had just been awakened by Adam, witnessed this scene, and her heart was instantly filled with happiness. Happiness is that simple, isn't it? What could be happier than waking up every day to see the loving gaze of your beloved, feeling that there is someone in this world who cares about you and loves you?

Christine was captivated, lost in Adam's deep love, unwilling to wake up.

Seeing Christine's expression, Adam smiled slightly and said, "Silly girl, you're awake?"

Christine nodded and said, "Yes, I'm awake, but I don't want to wake up. I wish I could always see you as soon as I open my eyes."

Adam kissed Christine's forehead and said lovingly, "Of course you can. When you marry into our family, you'll be able to see me every day."

After hearing this, Christine murmured, "Marriage? It's so far away. I can't see that far ahead. I just hope to stay by your side as long as you still love me."

Adam said, "You silly little thing, don't think nonsense. Our good days are just beginning."

Christine hummed in agreement, closing her eyes to savor Adam's love, seemingly unwilling to get up.

After reading this, Adam said, "Since you don't want to get up, I'll call the director and ask her to give the crew a day off. Then we can go out and explore properly. We haven't had a chance to properly see the beautiful scenery of this town since we came here."

After hearing this, Christine hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it really okay? Won't Director Alice be angry?"

Adam laughed and said, "She won't be angry, don't worry. You get some sleep first, I'll call her." He then got up and went into the bathroom.

When Adam came out of the bathroom fully dressed, Christine was already asleep. Last night had been too crazy, and Christine hadn't recovered yet. If Adam hadn't woken her up, she would have slept until noon.

Adam gently kissed Christine on the lips, then left the bedroom and went to Director Alice's bedroom, knocking on the door.

"Please come in!" came Director Alice's voice from inside the room.

Adam walked in upon hearing this and greeted her with a smile, "Hi, Alice, are you alright?"

Director Alice was reading the newspaper. She assumed the knocking was from the rest of the film crew and didn't see Adam come in. So when she heard Adam's voice, she realized he had already entered her bedroom.

"Adam, what brings you in here? Heh, shouldn't you be lying in Christine's bed this time?"

Adam awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Alice, well, I wanted to take Christine for a walk around the area today, so I came to ask you for leave."

Upon hearing this, Alice said helplessly, "Since the big boss has said so, how can I disagree? Okay, let's just give the crew a break too. They've been busy these past few days, let them get some rest."

Adam laughed and said, "Hehe, thank you so much."

After hearing this, Alice said seriously, "Adam, Christine's acting skills are improving very quickly. In a few years, she will definitely become an Oscar-winning actress. So if you're just playing around, you should let her leave as soon as possible. It's better for both of you."

Adam said very seriously, "Don't worry, Alice, I'm serious this time. I won't hurt Christine!"

Alice nodded and said, "Well, then I'm relieved. You know I don't have any children. After spending these days with her, I've grown to like Christine, this lively girl. Seeing her so sad these past few days really broke my heart, so I had to choose a similarly tragic story from the script for her to vent."

Adam was immediately grateful and said, "Thank you, Alice, thank you for taking care of Christine. Don't worry, I won't make her sad again."

Alice laughed upon hearing this, "Hehe, it's good that you have this determination. Alright, you don't need to keep this old woman company anymore, go and keep Christine company."

Upon hearing this, Adam got up to say goodbye. Feeling a bit hungry, he left the villa and went to the supermarket he had visited before. After buying some of Christine's favorite foods, he returned to Christine's bedroom.

Chapter Forty-Three: An Extraordinary Yet Simple Family

P.S.: "Some of you might think I'm dragging things out in the last few chapters, but I want to say that these everyday details are external factors that influence the protagonist's personality, and they are also major factors. So there are some parts that I couldn't leave out. Yeah, that's it. I will work even harder to write this book well, after all, this is my first book under contract, and it's very important to me. Finally, thank you all for your support!!!"

================================================== ====

Adam fell silent upon hearing Howard's words. He hadn't expected that his immense power would allow his family to be threatened. Clenching his fists, he said, "I will, Dad. Don't worry, I won't let those people lay a finger on Tony!"

Howard smiled and said, "Actually, I agreed to their request this time partly to help S.H.I.E.L.D. improve their strength. After all, the conflict between humans and mutants is getting stronger and stronger, and war could break out if things go wrong. Although most people in the military believe that they can eliminate mutants by their own means, I don't think mutants are that simple. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many legends about them."

After hearing this, Adam said, "I see. I understand now. I won't act impulsively."

Adam knew that Howard had explained all this in order to make him understand that Howard's handing over the information to S.H.I.E.L.D. was not simply because he was threatened, but because he had a far-reaching plan.

Howard nodded and said, "Yes, I know you're a smart kid. Okay, come back with me tonight. Maria is worried about you."

Adam laughed and said, "Okay, I'm planning to go back to stay tonight too."

Howard said, "Okay, have a seat. I have some things to do, and then we'll go home together."

Adam nodded after hearing this, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Dad, I've made a special bullet these past few days that can freeze the nerves of the person it hits, rendering them immobile. I'm planning to sell it to you, Dad."

Howard became interested after hearing this and asked, "Oh? There are bullets like this? Tell me about them in detail."

After listening, Adam said, "This bullet is made based on the principle of... so it will not harm the human body. I specially made it to deal with special events like the Ellis Island incident. Moreover, this bullet can only be used with special firearms that we make, which can reduce some unnecessary trouble."

Howard nodded and said, "That's good, that's a great idea. Hmm, your research is quite valuable, so I'm giving you three percent of the company's shares this time!"

Adam laughed and said, "Hmm, no problem! Then our deal is done!"

Howard shook his head and said, "Although we are father and son, some things cannot be done so hastily. I will inform Stephen to prepare the contract and some documents."

Adam shrugged and said, "Suit yourself. I only enjoy research. You can handle everything else, Dad!"

Howard smiled and shook his head after reading it, saying, "Okay, you've always been like this since you were little." Then he picked up the phone and called lawyer Stephen.

While Stephen's lawyer was still away, Adam contacted Athena to send the information about the nerve freezing bomb to Howard's private server.

Soon, Attorney Stephen came in with some documents and a share transfer agreement. Adam greeted him with a smile.

Attorney Stephen smiled slightly and said, "Howard, here are the documents you requested. I've already written them all; all you two need to do is sign them." He then handed two copies of the contract to Adam and Howard.

After receiving the contract and carefully reviewing it, the two signed it. This gave Adam a 9% stake in Howard Industries, making him the second-largest shareholder after Obadiah Stane.

Actually, back when they were children, Howard had already given Adam and Tony each 3% of the shares. The remaining 3% was earned little by little by Adam through selling various small inventions to Howard. Of course, Tony did the same; in addition to the original 3%, he also received 2% of the shares from Howard through several inventions, bringing his total shareholding to 5%, making him a considerable shareholder.

This is also what Howard Stark is most proud of, because his two sons are not the kind of rich kids who rely on their parents, but rather promising individuals who create value through their own hard work. Of course, this is also what some American families envy about Howard Stark, after all, they have plenty of money, but cultivating a suitable successor is not so easy.

Um, let's get back to the main topic.

After signing the contract, Howard saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to lawyer Stephen and went home with Adam.

Mary was delighted to see Adam and cooked some home-style dishes herself, and even drank a few glasses of red wine, which was quite unusual for her.

During this time, Adam told Maria about Christine, which made her very happy. After all, even parents in relatively open Western countries would not think it was right for their children to frequent various brothels all day long. Therefore, she was very happy to hear that Adam was in love.

"I'll bring her over after she finishes filming, or we can go out to eat together. I need to see what kind of girl could have captivated my son."

Adam smiled and said, "I'll bring her over after she finishes filming the movie."

Howard smiled as he looked at Adam's genuine smile of happiness. He knew that Adam had finally emerged from the shadows of the past, which was something to celebrate, wasn't it?

So the four of them drank another glass, and then Maria went to pack her things. Tony and Adam chatted casually, while Howard turned on the TV and watched some news. Their life was ordinary yet happy, no different from any other family. Outsiders would never imagine that the Howard family, a prominent family that had risen to prominence in recent decades, lived such a simple and happy life.

Nothing more was said that night. The next day, after breakfast, Adam took Tony and said goodbye to Maria, leaving Howard's villa and returning home.

Tony walked into the room and asked, "Brother, what are you going to show me? It's so mysterious."

Adam explained, "It's nothing, just a protective suit, and I have something to tell you."

Tony was taken aback. "Protective suit? What happened?" he asked.

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. It's just that some people seem to be targeting us two brothers, so Dad asked me to protect you for a while. I know you're not going to stay home obediently, so I'm preparing to give you a protective suit that could save your life in an emergency."

After hearing this, Tony said, "Oh, it seems we're so outstanding that some people are getting restless."

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, I think it must be some ancient organization or some terrorist organization. I will investigate these things. You wait here for a while, I will go and get the protective suit."

After hearing this, Tony said, "Brother, why do you always prevent me from entering your lab?"

Adam smiled and said, "Don't worry, that day will come. Of course, there's also a shortcut!"

Tony immediately asked, "What shortcut?"

Athena suddenly appeared next to Tony and said, "It's all about pleasing me! As long as you please me and gain my approval, I will allow you to enter the laboratory."

Tony sighed after hearing this and said, "I'll just wait for your reply, brother!"

Athena snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, then you can wait!" Then she disappeared again.

Tony shrugged and said, "Dude, your Athena is really something else. I bet she's more than just an AI program, right?"

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Guess!" Then he left the living room.

After reading it, Tony said, "Hmph, it's like this again. Oh well, I'll watch some TV then! Athena, will you watch TV with me?"

Athena's people didn't appear, but her voice rang out: "I'm not going to stay with you, I'm going to stay with my master."

Tony, feeling awkward, said, "Fine, I'll watch it myself!" He then turned on the TV and started watching. Soon, a news story caught his attention.

The news report stated that a blue-skinned mutant, resembling a legendary demon, had just attacked the White House, nearly assassinating the president, while civilian protests against mutants also took place outside!

Chapter 50 Battle of Lake Alkary

PS: This is the first update. There will be another chapter later. Please bookmark this page!

=================================================

Although Adam successfully blocked the missile, the energy generated by the missile explosion caused the X-Men's fighter jet to lose control and spin in the air like a kite with a broken string, prompting the students to cry out for help in despair.

Adam frowned and said, "Enough! Stop arguing! It won't make a difference no matter how much you argue!"

Storm shouted, "Could you please be quiet? I'll be back in control of the plane soon, don't distract me!"

Upon hearing Adam and Storm's words, Rogue and the others immediately shut their mouths. Sure enough, Storm quickly took control of the plane and flew towards Canada.

For the next period of time, they encountered no interception, so they arrived at location XX in the Canadian Rockies before nightfall and landed.

After the plane landed safely on flat ground, Phoenix asked Adam, "I haven't found any trace of Magneto and the others. Can you find out where they are?"

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment." After that, he contacted Athena and quickly obtained Magneto's location information.

Adam stepped off the plane, looked at a mountain on his left, and said, "I can see them. They're not far away, walking towards us. It should take them about twenty or thirty minutes to get here."

Sure enough, after Adam and the others had waited for about thirty minutes, Magneto arrived with Mystique. Magneto looked at Adam and said with a smile, "This must be the recently famous superhero, Beginner, right? Hehe."

When Adam saw Magneto, he sneered and said, "Alright, Mr. Magneto, you don't need to waste your energy. My mask is not made of ordinary metal, and you can't control it."

Magneto chuckled and said, "Forgive me, Mr. Shadow, people tend to become interested in novel things as they get older. I meant no harm!"

After hearing this, Phoenix said, "Alright, let's stop this pointless probing. We want to know how Stryker knew about the existence of the brainwave enhancement machine, and whether you gave him the school's address?"

Magneto said with a gloomy face, "That's right, I told him about the brainwave enhancement machine and the school address. You all know that I made that machine. But that's not the point. The point is that Stryker has a liquid drug that can control mutants. I couldn't help it. I tried it, but I couldn't control myself and told him everything."

Adam was taken aback and said, "Mr. Magneto, are you sure it's a liquid and not a person?"
