I just don't want the plot to change too much!
But why do I feel like I've been tricked again?
Ye Kai stared resentfully at the two people in front of him, not saying a word and not moving.
Howard and Steve swallowed hard almost simultaneously. Facing such a resentful gaze was quite a pressure for them, and Howard felt his scalp tingle.
He was originally curious about why this guy was staring at him with such shining eyes. If it were some special interest, he found it hard to believe, especially since this guy had a female companion by his side.
Moreover, with his keen eye for people, he could easily tell that this guy's demeanor and attire were exquisite and luxurious, almost to the point of being overly refined.
In 1940s New York, even someone like him, a great inventor who had been deemed the most fashionable in New York and the richest among single men, would pale in comparison. That was quite something!
This piqued his curiosity, prompting him to secretly follow along.
To his surprise, he discovered a rather suitable experimental subject—this guy named Steve fit the criteria that Erskine had mentioned perfectly!
However, he soon realized that Erskine was nowhere to be found.
A brief connection led him to suddenly become more interested in the person who had taken Erskine away from the draft office. This was no longer just boldness; it was true talent.
Ye Kai observed Steve's slightly awkward demeanor and his stiff smile. Then he glanced at Howard, whose eyes sparkled with intelligence, and he almost immediately understood.
Howard was not only a great inventor but also a businessman with foresight. If it weren't for the limitations of the era's development on his vision, he would likely have become an even more extraordinary figure!
“Steve, weren't you with James... Oh! I see now, you really are…”
Ye Kai feigned a look of realization, slapping his forehead. “Look at my brain! If you were with James, you wouldn't have met Mr. Howard! I should congratulate you; you've finally gotten what you wanted.”
“Howard, you've really helped me out. Come on, Steve, follow me.”
Erskine's original personality hadn't changed; even his memories remained intact. However, deep within his soul was imprinted a program loyal to Ye Kai.
Upon hearing that Steve was brought by Howard, he immediately understood. “Howard, this is Mr. Ye. He has many things that will interest you; I think you two will have plenty to talk about.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he whisked Steve away, leaving Ye Kai and Howard sizing each other up.
Ye Kai rolled his eyes dramatically at the sight of the smirking man before him. He really wanted to kick him and say, “Let’s find a quiet place; I don’t like being in such a pungent environment.”
To be honest, the recruitment office was mostly filled with tall, burly white men. Just moments ago, he hadn’t paid attention to the surroundings, but now he frowned because the mix of sweat and disinfectant was truly nauseating.
Following this guy who kept flirting with numerous beautiful women along the way, they eventually arrived at a relatively quiet apartment.
Ye Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes again, thinking to himself: “It seems that this lecherous trait really is hereditary! Like father, like son; as the saying goes, ‘Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes.’”
Sitting in a very large office and sipping coffee handed to him by a golden-haired Persian cat, Howard calmly spoke. “Ye, it’s already quite peaceful here, and no one will disturb us. Please.”
Raising an eyebrow in surprise at the suave gentleman, Ye Kai spread his hands innocently and said, “Please what? Oh, oh, oh! Are you referring to this cup of coffee? It’s absolutely amazing—definitely top-notch coffee.”
Howard smiled slightly, wearing an expression that seemed to say ‘I knew you would say that.’ He casually replied, “Although I don’t know how you gained Erskine’s approval, if you want my endorsement to participate in this ‘war,’ then you should have some confidence!”
"Wait, don't say anything. Let me take the lead. When I discovered that Erskine completely vanished after seeing you, I mean completely vanished, until now."
"This piqued my curiosity, and I started wondering how you managed to take away one of the military's most valued researchers without anyone noticing?"
Ye Kai was about to speak again but was interrupted once more. He shrugged and decided to remain silent.
Howard tapped his finger rapidly on the table, his face brimming with excitement. "Hmm, let me guess. I bet there are people from your side in the recruitment office... Oh no, wait, maybe it's not just that. Perhaps you have technological advancements beyond what we currently know, like that kind of cloaking technology, right, my Mr. Ye?"
"That truly surprises me!"
Looking at the excited playboy inventor whose eyes seemed to sparkle with green light, Ye Kai said seriously, "Howard, haven't you ever heard a saying?"
"What saying?" Howard looked puzzled.
"You know too much." Ye Kai's expression darkened as his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hey, dear Ye, if you want to laugh, just laugh. No need to hold back, my friend."
Howard wore a smug expression as if he were absolutely correct in his assumptions and smiled with a hint of arrogance. "So, what do you think, my friend?"
Ye Kai rolled his eyes dramatically. He realized that arguing with such a thick-skinned and narcissistic playboy was utterly pointless; he would never be so foolish again.
And what do you mean by 'so, what do you think, my friend'? What kind of nonsense is that!
"How big is your imagination?"
"Well, actually, uh, Ye Kai really admires this clever and somewhat lecherous guy. Of course, there's a bit of envy too.
Not only can he 'breed' horses, but he's also good at making money and possesses a nonchalant demeanor. You know, these traits are incredibly attractive to women!
Now he’s almost transformed into Sherlock Holmes. Although he guessed part of it right, unfortunately, the outcome was still miles off.
So, Ye Kai took out a nail file and pretended to tidy up his nails, casually saying, 'Oh, it seems I have stable nuclear fusion or something here. Oh, and there’s even more advanced anti-gravity magnetic levitation technology. I feel embarrassed to bring out my six-barrel Metal Storm machine gun... Oh, right, the infrared detector...'
'What?'
Howard suddenly stood up, disbelief written all over his face as he shouted, 'How is that possible!!!'
Ye Kai glanced up at the loudmouth with mild interest and shrugged dismissively. 'What's so surprising about that?'
'What?' Howard's face turned red as if he had been severely provoked. He shouted, 'This... you, hmph!'
'Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten something...' Ye Kai frowned slightly, looking at him with an expression that suggested he was startled and could no longer remember anything."
