Leo looked at Ulysses, pouted at the metal box, and kicked the strong driver sitting on the ground.
Ulysses and the burly driver looked at each other, then at Leo, and finally got in obediently with sad faces.
Leo waved his hand, and the two huge metal boxes shrank to the size of a fingernail, automatically flew to his palm, and he stuffed them into his storage belt.
These two metal boxes are Leo's unique idea, called the Mustard Seed Prison, and are specially used to temporarily detain enemies captured by him.
Leo's storage belt also contains a large mustard prison, which is modeled after a mustard house and has an automatic circulation system inside.
It would be easy to store hundreds or even thousands of prisoners there.
Little Eric had already got out of the car by himself and witnessed the whole process of Leo imprisoning Ulysses and the strong man driver.
But he was not afraid at all, but said happily:
"Uncle Erwin, why did those two people and the box suddenly become smaller? How did you do that?"
In front of Eric, Leo took off his seventh-generation Viper armor, shrank it into a pocket form, and stuck it on his storage belt.
Then he looked at the wide-eyed Eric, smiled slightly and said: "This is the power of technology."
"Can you teach me?" Eric heard that these abilities could be learned, and he immediately expressed his desire to master them.
But of course Leo couldn't teach Eric such a perverted technique, but he didn't want to kill the child's love of learning, so he could only say tactfully:
"I can't teach you yet. If you want to be like me, you have to study hard at school and learn fighting skills from Uncle Bucky. When you return to Wakanda in the future, you will find that it is better than ever before.
There are still many miraculous technologies out there that can make you smaller."
"Then this technology that can make you bigger and smaller also comes from Wakanda?" Eric was full of curiosity about his hometown again, but this time, it was mixed with the desire to possess it.
"Of course not. Although Wakanda's technology is very high-end, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. There are many capable people and strangers on the earth, so don't take it lightly."
Leo's words unconsciously took on the flavor of preaching.
After living with Eric for more than a year, Leo found that he really liked this kid.
Not only is he neither noisy nor fussy, he also loves to learn, is willing to endure hardship, and is motivated.
In addition, Eric's life trajectory has changed now. He will no longer grow into the murderous leopard. He is now just a poor child, a poor child with no father, no mother, and no one to rely on.
His father was guilty of betraying Wakanda, but the child was innocent. This may be why the old king T'Chaka did not kill Eric.
You know, with T'Chaka's extraordinary skills at the time, it was impossible for him not to know that Njobu had an underage son.
And no one would dislike such a pitiful, innocent, sensible, and motivated child.
Not only Leo, but also Bucky, Natasha and Old Tom all like Eric.
Leo suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if this kid Eric had been forcibly given the halo of the protagonist by a group of them. He would definitely become a great person in the future.
After listening to Leo's sermon, Eric nodded seriously, showing no rebelliousness at all that children of this age should have.
Eric turned around and looked around again and asked:
"So Uncle Erwin, where are we going now?"
"I'll take you back to school to continue your classes." Leo opened the rear door for him.
"Your sudden disappearance has made the school leaders and teachers anxious. Remember to go back and find an excuse to resolve the matter."
Eric nodded again and got into the back seat of the car, not caring at all that he might be wrongly accused and scolded by the teacher.
Leo started the car, turned around, and sped towards New York City.
Not long after, Leo drove Eric to the school gate not far away. Eric got out of the car and walked towards the school gate.
Next, Eric took care of everything himself.
Leo watched Eric go away, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed to his home in Hell's Kitchen.
Leo was in a very good mood at this time.
In the past year and a half, when he was building a mechanical army, he always felt that the weapons he made were not powerful enough and the armor he made was not strong enough.
So he often sighed and daydreamed: It would be great if the key parts of these weapons were replaced with vibranium!
He even wanted to replace the entire shell of the Viper armor with vibranium instead of just coating it with a layer of film.
However, the origin of vibranium is in Wakanda, Africa. Although Leo now thinks that he has good fighting power, he does not dare to go to Wakanda to get vibranium easily.
Because even with the protective shield on the outer layer of Wakanda, which is based on vibranium technology and combines invisibility and protection, he doesn't know how to sneak in quietly.
But now, Ulysses Klaue, who had successfully sneaked into Wakanda and stolen a large amount of vibranium, has been successfully captured by Leo.
As the only vibranium seller in the Marvel universe, Ulysses' own vibranium reserves can already solve Leo's urgent needs.
Moreover, Ulysses also knows the internal topography of Wakanda and has experience in sneaking into Wakanda. These are what Leo wants.
However, it is not easy to get Ulysses to hand over his private property, vibranium, and to tell him obediently the information about Wakanda.
That's why Leo returned home. The brainwashing device in the basement of his home had been gathering dust for too long, and it was finally put to use again today.
Leo drove the car around a corner and slowly parked it in front of his house.
Pushing the door open, Leo got out of the car, then slammed the door shut. The car beeped twice and was automatically locked.
Leo put the car keys in the car and didn't move them, because he didn't actually need the car keys to drive.
Back then, he could easily open the Carbondale security door using only mechanical force, let alone a small car.
Naturally, Leo didn't bring the key to the door of his home.
He raised his hand slightly and pressed it on the door lock. The door lock opened automatically. He pushed the door open and stepped into the home.
Suddenly, a surprised voice came to mind in the living room: "Leo, why are you back?"
"What? This is my home, I can't come back?!" Leo originally thought there was no one at home, but he was a little surprised at this time.
"It's you, Bucky. Don't you have to work at the company today? Why are you lying dead at home?!"
Bucky was lying on the sofa, his feet higher than his head.
He was boredly playing the Tetris game on Da Mi’s mobile phone and said lazily:
"Why should I go to the company? Patrol or stand guard? I don't need me for those things. The younger brothers have done all the work, and there isn't even enough work to allocate.
Besides, it’s not like you don’t know what I was doing back then, but company security work is really not challenging.”
"So you stayed up in the middle of the night and led your two apprentices to fight against gangsters and drunkards on the streets? And the three of you also gave your group a name. What's it called 'Pibama' trio? Come on, everyone.
You’ve been on the news headlines for half a year, you’re so idle…”
Leo continued to complain,
"Besides, Matt and Peter are not like you. They have a very heavy workload in the company. In addition, they are both married people with families. You took them out to fool around in the middle of the night.
, is that true? You said you are boring..."
"I don't take them out every night, only once a week at most..." Bucky felt guilty when Leo said that, and defended himself in a low voice, "Besides, I am really too busy and bored.
ah!"
Bucky sat up and hit his chin on the back of the sofa, waiting for Leo to ask,
"Leo, is there any way you can make me less bored?"
"Yes." Leo replied decisively.
Bucky's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked:
"Then tell me quickly, what method?"
"Find a wife and have a child, and you will never be bored again." Leo said his method with a serious face.
Bucky curled his lips, lay back on the sofa again, and raised his rice phone.
Just when Bucky started Tetris again and scored another hundred points, Leo's voice suddenly came from a condescending voice.
"Since you're so bored, come to the basement with me. I'm going to do something big, and I may need your experience as a professional scout."
Bucky paused the game again, raised his head and looked directly into Leo's eyes:
"Are you serious? You didn't lie to me this time?"
Leo ignored him, turned and walked towards the basement stairs.
Bucky stuffed his phone into his pocket and followed him.
