Tuesday, card day.
This is an old tradition. Today, Barbara feels more and more that this night is the only chance to bring a certain bad middle-aged man who is vaguely addicted to online games from the virtual world back to the real world.
Six p.m.
820 Fifth Avenue.
Barbara heard that Baker seemed to have changed a place to play cards again and asked curiously: "Changed again, to what place?"
Baker put on his coat: "A new poker organizer."
Barbara was curious: "Why not go to the same place?"
Baker shrugged: "Even if it is a pig, if it is cut for two consecutive years, believe me, the pig will choose a new place to be slaughtered."
Barbara: "..."
In fact, in Baker's view, Tony Stark's IQ is indeed inferior to that of a pig in some aspects. Of course, this may be because of a specific thing.
As much money as you want, maybe.
Anyway, if he were Baker, or even another gambler in the world, and lost the same amount of money at the same time and in the same place, he would probably have to change to a new place three times, let alone two years. .
But Tony Stark?
Put it this way.
Baker smiled at Barbara and said, "In some respects, Stark does have good qualities that ninety percent of people don't have."
persist in.
This is a kind of good character. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Tony Stark became Iron Man. Therefore, in order to allow Tony Stark to continue this kind of character, Baker plans to continue his efforts and automatically ignore the last time Pepper Please ask him privately to let him lose on purpose.
soon.
Beck and Barbara went out.
This time we did not bring our downstairs neighbor Richard, not because Richard was of low class, but because Richard and Beckett had a card game with the mayor of New York today.
So everyone plays his own game.
The car started and sped towards a location in the uptown area.
Half an hour later.
After the new card game organizer left the room, Barbara, who had been silent, looked at Baker: "Blonde?"
Baker came back to his senses: "Huh?"
Barbara raised her eyebrows: "This one is called Danica and has blond hair."
blond.
Fair skin and beautiful appearance.
Although his age is around thirty years old, it is within the normal range.
Baker frowned: "What do you want to express?"
Barbara shrugged: "Nothing, just curious why she has blonde hair."
Beck was stunned for a moment. The next second, Beck smiled wildly, pointed at the door of the guest room, and touched his chin: "You mean, I found this Danica?"
"Is not it?"
"of course not."
"Did Tony look for it?"
"Um."
Baker nodded, hummed, and then touched his chin: "However, I am indeed a little curious now as to why Stark would invite the card game here."
"Is there a problem?"
"How old do you think Danica is?"
"I guess? Thirty."
"hehe."
The corners of Baker's mouth curved up slightly and he looked at Barbara: "Thirty, multiply this number by five or eight."
"Varied……"
Barbara was a little confused: "Multiply by five?"
What does thirty times five equal?
...Ouch!
Barbara raised her eyebrows, "One hundred and fifty years old, is it true?"
Baker said: "This is just the minimum. That Danica just now is also a witch."
Yes.
A witch, and a witch who mixes well among mortals.
The building where Baker is now located is called the Danica Building, and the witch Danica just now, in addition to being the owner of this building, also runs a very successful clothing brand in New York's upper class, and even Every March, June and September, their own clothing brand new product launch conference will be held in the building.
but……
Even so, this Danica is far from qualified to contact Stark. In a word, from Pepper Potts, it can be seen that Tony Stark is a man, and he is also a straight man.
Would a straight man care about the popular women's fashion clothes on the market today?
Moreover, anything related to gambling in this room was brand new and seemed to have just been opened. Therefore, Baker was quite interested in how Stark hooked up with such a witch.
Nothing else.
Tony Stark may not be considered by Baker as his friend, but Pepper Potts is definitely his friend, and his number one pony, Vengeful Flame Spirit, is about to become Pepper Potts' brother-in-law .
etc.
Not fast.
It was his number one horse boy, and he rushed over to be the taker.
The corner of Baker's mouth twitched vaguely, but that was Revenge Flame Soul's own business. Others were willing to take over, and the others did not give any reasons.
Barbara's focus was not on this. After hearing that Danica was a witch, she asked: "Is it good or bad?"
Baker glanced at Barbara: "This is a problem, but in terms of the values of the two of us, what is good and what is bad."
Barbara raised her eyebrows: "Hey, hey, hey, it's your values."
Baker chuckled and said, "Who insists that aliens attack the earth?"
Barbara said angrily: "That's what you said, I just don't want SHIELD to take the blame."
Baker smiled and said: "I don't know, I have never dealt with this Danica."
"Why?"
"Because she is wild, I like to deal with some orthodox supernatural beings."
"..."
It is undeniable that wild extraordinary people are all self-taught geniuses in a certain sense. However, just like the Nine Yin Manual can be practiced in reverse, although they are geniuses, they are far from orthodox in terms of strength or knowledge base. height of.
The most important thing.
Wild, there is no peer ticket to the supernatural world at all. If Danica just now is an orthodox witch, then the first thing to do after meeting Baker is to call him the great Supreme Merlin.
Not long after.
The rightful owner has arrived.
Baker glanced at Happy, who followed in and looked like a chef but was both a driver and the president's bodyguard. His eyes fell on the suitcase in Happy's hand and he teased Tony Stark: " Why, are you bringing a box of money to give to me later?"
Tony took off his sunglasses and turned his nostrils upward: "I brought a box here to put the money."
Baker smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
Beat me?
In the next life...or, when will you change your stinky temper?
Baker said this and then made an apologetic gesture towards Pepper.
Pepper smiled, feeling extremely helpless in her heart, and then directly ignored the two men who were about to go to the card table. She lifted the exquisite packaging bag in her hand towards Barbara and said, "I just saw a new store opened on the way here. Pastry shop, let’s try it together?”
Barbara smiled: "Of course."
Two hours later.
Baker looked at the chips in front of him, then looked at the chips of someone sitting opposite, and shook his head: "It seems that even if you change places, your luck has not improved."
Tony glanced expressionlessly at what seemed to be a custom-made bracelet on his arm.
Baker laughed: "New jewelry?"
"you guess?"
"Think I cheated?"
"...Don't you?"
"If I cheated, your bracelet would light up, I think."
"..."
Baker looked at Tony, whose expression changed slightly, and chuckled: "Sure enough, I guessed it right."
Tony is Tony.
Although Tony is different from Batman, it is undeniable that he and Batman are quite similar. They are both arrogant and like to study various specialized restraint weapons.
But?
Why bother?
If a card game requires the use of extraordinary energy, then Baker feels that he is deceiving himself. He always inserts a false eye directly in front of Tony's card table, even if he arranges the card game in a similar situation. In a vacuum that can block any extraordinary energy, Baker will still be the winner.
And Tony?
Even if he doesn't use prosthetic eyes, after being tortured by Baker so many times, once Tony gets any good cards, even Tony will involuntarily speed up his breathing slightly.
To win Tony, don't win at all.
Baker began to think about how to just ask Tony to give him a certain amount of living expenses every month, so as not to have to tip him every time after playing cards.
Half an hour later.
The game is over.
Baker put away the ten chips in front of him totaling one million, smiled, and said to Tony: "Well, once again, it's a pleasure to do business with you."
Tony looked at Beck: "Don't be proud, I know you must have cheated, but I don't know how you did it, just now, that's all!"
This is by no means doubting everything if you lose.
Tony has proof.
Whenever he had a good hand, Baker gave up quickly, but every time Baker called, there was no doubt that the final outcome would be that Baker's hand was just better than his.
Beck chuckled, his eyes falling on Tony's bracelet: "So, who are you working with to create this thing?"
"Want to know?"
"In no mood."
Baker shook his head: "Just like I don't know how you and this Danica met, but I sincerely hope that the anti-angel armor you planned will be developed as soon as possible. Maybe next time, we can change it." How to play.”
Tony looked at Pepper: "Did you tell him?"
Pepper shook her head: "What to tell Beck?"
Baker smiled and said: "Tony, if you can really develop the Anti-Angel Armor, I promise to introduce you to a big customer."
When the time comes, Tony will be introduced to the Kingdom of Heaven. If such armor really exists, if it is not controlled by the Kingdom of Heaven, then there is only one way to go.
ten minutes later.
Beck and Barbara exited the Danica Building behind them.
Fifteen minutes later.
There was a bang.
A large hole was blown out of a room on the 36th floor of the Danica Building.
"look!"
"Fireworks!"
"..."
