Chapter 88 The Late Person
After everyone finished choosing their own room, Bruce followed the man who claimed to be the housekeeper of the manor to his room. He didn't pay much attention to the luxurious decoration in the room, and didn't care to feel the softness of the big bed. Bruce simply washed up and fell asleep.
No tasks, no longer thinking about how to deal with mutants, fell asleep soundly in a relaxed state, and had nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, with the waking up of the biological clock, Bruce opened his eyes naturally, and did not look at the dozens of luxurious suits in the closet. It was late summer and early autumn, and the weather was still slightly hot. After taking a shower, he went downstairs in his old black shirt and slim suit pants.
"You still got up so early, I think you can sleep a little longer today."
Alfred was sitting at the dining table in the hall, slowly sipping his coffee, and said to Bruce without looking back.
"You haven't slept yet?"
"I don't need sleep, my lord, as long as I replenish enough energy, I think it's necessary to use the 'pretend' sleep time to study and deal with affairs."
"I'm not trying to persuade you."
Bruce pulled away the chair and raised his eyebrows at Alfred, "I mean, don't scare others. After all, you have to maintain an ordinary routine in front of outsiders, my dear Mr. Butler."
After that, he ate his own breakfast, but the smile on the corner of his mouth showed his good mood at this time.
Alfred put down the newspaper in his hand, "It seems that you are still a little concerned about the joke I said last night. Can I understand this as a child's revenge, sir?"
"Cough to be honest."
Alfred looked at his watch, and then said to Bruce seriously: "Business? Then it's time for you to go to work in your group, my chairman, and now our group has 7 mineral energy companies, 2 pharmaceutical companies R&D companies, and a car company in preparation, of course, this is only the case in the United States, in Europe."
"wait wait wait!"
Just listening to Alfred say those companies is enough for Bruce to have a big head. Unexpectedly, there is even more exciting news, "Europe? When will we open the company to Europe?"
Alfred adjusted his glasses, and said as a matter of course: "Don't forget, after you left, we absorbed most of the "heritage" hidden underground by Hydra, and now we have the foundation for rapid development in Europe , those industries have even more potential than what we have in the United States."
"That's right. No! I remember that Schmidt transferred most of the materials and funds away in the end? How did you get it?"
Alfred couldn't help smiling at Bruce when he heard Bruce's inquiry: "Almost all the Hydra wealth he transferred was transported to the original Siberian base of Hydra, and those planes just parked on the apron sorted out by the base. , was controlled by our people, one after another~"
When Bruce heard this, he almost spit out the coffee he just drank. Schmidt was busy with his feelings for a long time, and finally made him a wedding dress?People died in their own hands, and the foundation for Hydra's comeback was also grasped by him.
If Schmidt found out about this news, he wondered if he would sit up angrily from the wreckage of a certain plane on the ice ocean, and yell at "bastard"!
"It's only been about a month since the end of World War II, and Europe is almost smashed to pieces. The United States and the Soviet Union are crazily buying bottoms. The reconstruction of Europe needs a lot of money, and now, the most we need is money, sir, left by Hydra Wealth, much more than you can imagine."
Alfred's words successfully aroused Bruce's interest. He didn't value those cold wealth very much. In contrast, he preferred those talents, whether they belonged to Hydra or got them from European bargain hunters. Yes, but who would think they have too much money?
"but."
Alfred wiped his mouth in a timely manner, and at the same time interrupted Bruce's interest in continuing to ask, "You'd better figure out how to explain it to Steve and little James, it will take more than a year after you leave, sir, You have been late for a long time."
Bruce's breath was stagnant. Alfred brought up the matter that he had been worrying about since he came back.
Yes, I said goodbye to Bucky at the beginning, but after leaving for so long, I don’t know if this kid will forgive me. Not to mention, Steve, who even gave himself a headache when he said "righteous words" Now, Bruce seems to have thought of the picture of himself being seriously pursued by Steve.
"I, I'm going to Siberia in a few days. Bucky is in the base right now? And Steve, Alfred, what happened to Steve after I left? He and Agent Carter."
After thinking about it, Bruce intends to put aside these troubles for the time being. When the time comes, let’s talk about it when we meet. After being brothers for more than ten years, Bucky and Steve can’t join forces to teach him a lesson~ However, he’s more serious about Steve now. Husband's personal affairs are quite attentive.
If possible, he would actually like to see Steve and Peggy Carter get together, at least, so that they don't miss out on a date that belongs to them.
"Now, they are often busy with their own affairs. Master, Agent Carter has been promoted a long time ago, and is now in charge of the preparations for a certain military project. As for Steve"
"After the war, he took off his uniform. It is said that he had a bad relationship with the military because he refused to perform an assassination mission for the military. Now he only hangs up a idle job in the government and does some propaganda work for the country. After all, Captain America has become the spiritual symbol of the United States, a national hero, and those politicians dare not punish Steve lightly."
Bruce frowned. According to Steve's personality, it was completely expected that he would have such a choice. However, the U.S. military had their minds on Steve so quickly?
Gently tapping the table, Bruce looked fixedly, and said to Alfred: "Contact Bucky and ask him to return to New York as soon as possible. Within today, a short meeting will be held at the Black Eye headquarters. I will announce something, and then."
Bruce stood up with a smile, "Speed up the progress of the construction of this manor, I think, after a while, we will usher in a grand event, and at the same time, help my wooden man do what he needs to do."
"Then before that, I still suggest that you think more about how to explain to Steve and little James, sir, I think, this will not be difficult for you, I am going to work in the group, will you go with me ?”
The smile on Bruce's face gradually froze, and he glared at Alfred, who couldn't see the inner activities at this time, but was still smiling warmly, "You mentioned it again on purpose, Alfred!"
Alfred put on his hat, bowed slightly, and said, "Why? I wish you a happy day, sir. I will arrange the matters you asked as soon as possible. See you tonight."
Seeing Alfred leaving the manor in a car, Bruce sat slowly on the white stone steps in front of the gate, looked into the distance, and after a long while, smiled softly and lowered his head: "I seem to be late for a long time, but still Well, not for long."
