Kyle estimated that Agent Carter and Steve would soon finish their dinner soon, so he and Howard left the underground dance hall bar.
"Kyle, after pleting such a big deal tonight, it's only fair for you to treat us," Howard teased. After this brief iation, the two of them had established a preliminary partnership and had bee quite close.
"Sure," Kyle replied with a smile, blinking his eyes. "But you know I'm still quite poor at the moment, and I haven't even received my military officer's sary yet. I wonder if my Boss advance me month's dividend from Stark Industries."
"You really…" Howard shook his head with a speechless expression on his face, feeling like he had dug a pit and ended up burying himself in it. heless, he took out a golden, exquisite card from his wallet and ha over with a certified check.
"This card is a perma VIP card for this charming hotel, and it tains a 20,000 deposit. You use it for now. In addition, here's a check for 100,000. You withdraw cash from tral Banks in major cities, but it's best to make an appoi in advance, as they might not have that much cash readily avaible."
It's worth noting that the average sary of an ordinary Ameri soldier was only 60 a month in this time. This casually thrown sum of 120,000 was a truly substantial amount.
Kyle accepted it without hesitation, jokingly saying, "I didn't expect the monthly dividend to be so high. Thanks, Boss."
Howard urged him, saying, "Skip the thanks and just brihe sed iment item as soon as possible. I'll have the wyers prepare the agreement to trahe shares to you. Once you sign it, you'll be a partner in Stark Industries."
"No problem," Kyle he sed item of iment was also vely carried with him, but it wasn't veo take it out in front of people.
So, what was this sed iment item? In fact, it was a system program chip for a Superputer.
It was one of the Green Item Cards that Kyle drew, which was even more useless than the pho was a scattered po of a unit. However, if someone wao veo the field of Artificial Intelligehis chip would undoubtedly be an excellent stepping stone.
Just as Kyle and Howard returo the hotel lobby on the ground floor, they saw Agent Carter hastily walking towards them.
"Did you already finish dinner? Where's Steve?" Kyle asked in surprise.
Uedly, Agent Carter gred at him and replied, "Where were you two? I sent Steve to find you, but he couldn't locate you."
"Well…" Before Kyle could answer, Howard chuckled and said, "Don't bother asking something like that. Men naturally go to pces for eai by spending money."
'Your answer be easily misinterpreted, you know.' Kyle inwardly pined, but Agent Carter didn't think too much about it.
She instead spoke with a serious look on her face, "General Chester just sent a message with instrus. He asked me to rey them to all of you. Let's head back to the training base for now."
"We haven't had a ce to rex yet, and now we have to go back to work," Howard mented while patting his forehead.
"It's about the Intelligence Map, right?" Kyle wore a pensive expression on his face as he spoke. He had already anticipated that after submitting the intelligence map, there would be instrus and as from higher-ups. However, he didn't expect the decision to e so quickly.
"Kyle!" Steve's voice came from behind as he retur that moment.
"Now that everyone's here, let's settle the bill and leave," Kyle smiled and casually hahe hotel staff his VIP card from his pocket. "Tonight's expenses for the four of us will be covered with this."
With money in hand, he felt much more fident.
"Kyle, I didn't expect you to be so wealthy," Steve excimed in surprise. Even without looking, he khat the expe this hotel were not something an ordinary person could afford.
Even more astonished was Agent Carter. She had also seen Kyle's personal file, so where did this VIP card from the hotel e from?
What exactly did these two do just now?
Agent Carter looked at Kyle and Howard suspiciously and was uo e up with a reasonable expnation. That day, they dined in a big city auro the training base on the same day.
On the pne, Agent Carter early veyed General Chester's Mission to the three of them.
"Kyle and Steve, you two will be the team leaders. You o select soldiers from the training base and form an armed team. Your mission would be to unch attacks on the six factory bases in the German war zone, which are the sources of ons and supplies. Ohe factories that supply ons fall, Germany will no longer pose a threat to Europe!"
"Steve, from now on, you will be promoted to the rank of Corporal," Agent Carter said, her gaze falling on Kyle. "As for you, your aplishments will tio accumute. There won't be any immediate promotions this time."
"It doesn't matter," Kyle he Sed Lieutenant rank was still fresh, and he was used to the rhythm of rapid promotions after accumuting military achievements. He liked the thrill of jumping ranks.
Agent Carter tinued with a serious tone, "Stark, you will provide stifid strategic ons for the two Super Soldiers."
"Oh," Howard replied absentmindedly as he piloted the phen, as if realizing something, he turned around in surprise. "Two Super Soldiers?!"
"That's right, Kyle has also bee a Super Soldier," Steve answered, revealing that piece of information he specifically reported after returning from the war.
Agent Carter stared directly at Kyle and said seriously, "From now on, I will be responsible for supervising and doting your progress, colleg data on you."
"Okay," Kyle responded weakly, muttering under his breath, "At least I'm a Sed Lieutenant. It's embarrassing to have a woman like you supervising me. Isn't Steve enough to be yuinea pig for research?"
Agent Carter pretended not to hear anything as she maintained her cool and elegant pose.
Steve immediately suggested, "To assemble the manpower needed for the armed team, we gather the soldiers we rescued st night. They have been engaged in frontline bat and have experien using the new energy ons to fight against the German forces."
"No problem. They must be itg to prove themselves, sidering they were captured as prisoners st night. However, in addition to them, I also want t in someone from the 102nd Division," Kyle pted.
"Who?" Agent Carter asked. As long as it is requisitioned one person from the frontline, she had the authority to do so.
"His name is Nick·Fury. He's a very intelligent and capable Sergeant," Kyle said with a smile. This portunity to quickly accumute military achievements and he would also be taking good care of Fury.
"Achoo!" Inside a makeshift tent on the frontlitlefield, a one-eyed Afri Ameri officer sneezed. He rubbed his bald head in surprise, feeling a bit fused.
"The weather isn't cold, but why do I have a sense of foreboding in my heart?" Fury muttered to himself with a puzzled expression on his face. The frontline he was statio had no major battles going on anymore, yet he couldn't shake off the eerie feeling creeping up his spine.
