On Tony Stark's private jet,
Tony Stark and Ethan, having just escaped from the Terrorists, were sound asleep, utterly exhausted from the constant tension at the Base.
Mr. Andy, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa, savoring the fine whiskey from Tony Stark's private jet.
"Mr. Andy, thank you for your help."
Happy bowed to Mr. Andy in gratitude. News of Tony Stark's kidnapping had been widespread these past few days.
Stark Industries' stock was on the verge of plummeting, but now, if Tony Stark appeared in public,
Stark Industries' stock would not only avoid a crash but might even see a surge.
Looking at Happy, who was profusely thanking him, Mr. Andy smiled and said, "Tony Stark and I are friends. It's only right that I save him. You don't need to thank me."
It would still take some time to return to New York, so Mr. Andy decided to rest for a while.
These past few days had been spent solely on tracking Tony Stark, and he hadn't rested well at all.
When he woke up, the plane had already entered New York airspace.
Enough rest had revitalized Tony Stark and Ethan, and the two were chatting over coffee.
Tony Stark said somewhat seriously, "I've thought about it. I'm going to shut down the Weapons Design and Manufacturing Department."
"As you wish. Stark Industries is your company; I can't interfere."
Mr. Andy raised an eyebrow at Tony Stark, not surprised.
But Ethan found it incredible. "The Weapons Design and Manufacturing Department is Stark Industries' main revenue-generating department. If you close it, how will you make money?"
Tony Stark shrugged, saying nonchalantly, "I have many other patents. Perhaps new energy is a good option."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tony Stark, Ethan didn't continue to argue and chose to give up.
"By the way, Ethan, what do you plan to do after this? Go back to your hometown to teach?"
Tony Stark mentioned it casually. He remembered Ethan telling him about what happened before he was captured.
After hearing Tony Stark's words, Dr. Ethan stared blankly at the coffee in his hands, muttering, "Yes, where should I go? My family is gone. Where should I go?"
After waiting for a while, Tony Stark didn't get a response from Dr. Ethan.
He looked at Dr. Ethan, noticing his complexion wasn't very good, and Tony Stark asked with concern, "What's wrong, Ethan?"
He waved his hand in front of Ethan, and the dazed Ethan finally came to his senses.
Looking at Mr. Andy and Tony Stark, he said, "I have nowhere to go. My family all died at the hands of Terrorists. Perhaps you're right; I should go back to my hometown and be a teacher."
Looking at the homeless Dr. Ethan, Mr. Andy suddenly thought of the Hunter's Tavern.
Many people there were homeless and pitiful. Perhaps Dr. Ethan could find his home there.
Moreover, as a physicist, Dr. Ethan's research capabilities were not weak at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help Tony Stark build the metal armor. At the Hunter's Tavern, Ethan could also use his abilities to help Vampire Hunters modify their equipment.
Thinking of this, Mr. Andy said, "If you have nowhere to go, you can go to the Hunter's Tavern first. It's a place that Tony Stark, Norman, and I jointly founded."
He paused and then continued, "It's a bit special, but you can rest assured that we will invest in a laboratory for you there. You will definitely like it."
Tony Stark, who was beside them, thought this was a good option and said, "The Hunter's Tavern is indeed good. If you don't want to go there, you can also come to my Stark Industries. I can also provide you with an independent laboratory. You should let your talents shine, rather than becoming a teacher."
Dr. Ethan smiled, looking at the two of them. He knew that these two super geniuses genuinely wanted to help him.
He showed a very friendly smile and said, "I still won't go to Stark Industries. I probably couldn't tolerate your sharp remarks. But you two promised to prepare a large, independent laboratory for me at the Hunter's Tavern."
Then he asked with some confusion, "Why did you establish a Tavern, and call it the Hunter's Tavern? That name is really too strange."
Mr. Andy and Tony Stark exchanged glances, smiling mysteriously, and said, "Do you know Vampires? Those creatures that feed on blood, fear the Sun, and are afraid of silver."
Dr. Ethan, a little bewildered by the two, nodded blankly.
It's just Vampires! How could he not know?
There are many fairy tales about Vampires in Europe, but what does that have to do with the Hunter's Tavern?
With confusion, Dr. Ethan asked, "Are you Vampire fairy tale enthusiasts? So you established a Hunter's Tavern to fulfill your fantasy of being heroes?"
Speechless at Dr. Ethan's question, Mr. Andy rubbed his temples and explained, "Vampires are not fairy tales; they are real."
"The Hunter's Tavern is the activity hub for Vampire Hunters. If you don't believe it, you can go to Mr. Andy's laboratory and see; he's captured quite a few Vampires there," Tony Stark interjected from the side.
They didn't seem to be lying, but Dr. Ethan still found it hard to accept.
"These Vampires are from Europe. How come you act like you've never heard of them?"
Tony Stark looked at Ethan strangely. As the birthplace of Vampires, how could Ethan, a European, not know of their existence?
Annoyed by Tony Stark's gaze, Ethan explained, "I left my hometown a long time ago. I've spent more time in the U.S. than in Europe."
The two expressed understanding. Vampires are indeed not widely known in the U.S.
Tony Stark stepped forward and patted Ethan's shoulder, saying, "Then you'll be busy. The Hunter's Tavern's main business now is capturing Vampires. Those guys will open your eyes."
Then Mr. Andy and Tony Stark described the appearance of Vampires to Ethan, as well as the crimes these Vampires had committed.
Ethan was shocked by their description. Even after getting off the plane, he was still engrossed in Mr. Andy's description, unable to extricate himself.
He was already eager to see the Vampires in Mr. Andy's laboratory; such legendary creatures were very much worth studying.
Coming out of the airport, numerous news media outlets had surrounded the area, making it impossible to pass.
Large groups of reporters held up microphones and questioned Tony Stark.
"Mr. Stark, we heard you were kidnapped by Terrorists. Is that true?"
"Mr. Stark, where have you been for the past month?"
"Mr. Stark..."
"Mr. Stark..."
Ethan, who took another passage with Mr. Andy, looked at the reporters surrounding Tony Stark with lingering fear.
He couldn't help but shake his head. Indeed, he still preferred a peaceful life; Tony Stark's life was truly not suitable for him.
Mr. Andy looked at Ethan with amusement, a smile on his face, and said, "We don't need to wait for him. He'll catch up with us in a bit."
No sooner had he spoken than a car stopped in front of them.
The window rolled down, and the person inside was Tina. "Welcome back. Oh~ long time no see, Dr. Ethan."
Greeting Dr. Ethan, Tina glared fiercely at Mr. Andy.
Mr. Andy, who was innocently glared at, smiled helplessly at Ethan, then got into the car with Caesar and Ethan to return to Orokin Technology.
As for the Firefang dragon, that fellow had spread its wings and returned to its nest after getting off the plane.
And Tony Stark, who had finally managed to shake off the persistent reporters, was sitting in the sports car driven by Happy, heading towards Orokin Technology.
He also wanted to see Ethan's expression when he met a Vampire, as a European who had never encountered Vampires before.
The scene of their encounter would surely be very interesting. He wondered who would be more surprised when the Vampire and Ethan met.
