“Ms. Witch, it’s one thing to not take responsibility, but you still want to attack me?”
Hode held Wanda’s slender little hand, looking at Wanda, who was wearing a shirt, with a half-smile.
It had to be said that Wanda, dressed in a man’s shirt, had an indescribable sense of contrast.
“Have we… met before?”
Wanda’s eyes widened, her bright eyes staring straight at Hode.
For some reason, Hode actually gave her a sense of intimacy.
And he possessed some kind of special ability!
Could it be that they had met in the HYDRA laboratory?
After all, the man in front of her had very strong abilities.
She pondered constantly in her mind, but she had no relevant memories.
“No.”
Hode shook his head without hesitation, his fingers gently kneading Wanda’s skin: “My dear Ms. Witch, trying to get close to me won’t help you escape!”
In fact, the moment Wanda invaded just now, the Phoenix Force automatically surged out to resist Wanda’s power.
The Phoenix Force could resist all mental attacks, and the Phoenix Force and the Chaos Magic within Wanda were both among the three most ancient energy entities.
It was also because of this reason that there was some connection between them, and they felt familiar.
“I…”
Facing Hode’s repeated questioning, Wanda lowered her head, feeling guilty.
In fact, she also knew that if she hadn’t used Chaos Magic at that time, it would definitely not have turned out like this.
But ask her to take responsibility?
How could she possibly give an answer to that!
Although it was indeed her own unreasonable behavior.
Just as Wanda was pondering how to answer.
Hode, whose sturdy body was nearly 1.9 meters tall, suddenly leaned forward, gripping her wrist, and almost pressed up against her.
The heavy hormones rushed toward her, making Wanda’s heart flutter for a moment, and she looked up nervously and said: “Don’t… don’t mess around…”
Thoughts inappropriate for children also surfaced in her mind.
How much time had passed, and now he had ideas again?!
“What do you mean by messing around? Shouldn’t you be taking responsibility?”
Hode grinned and lowered his head, meeting Wanda’s gaze.
“That…”
Wanda flusteredly avoided Hode’s gaze, stammering and unable to speak.
Ding-dong!!!
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“Mr. Hode, Mr. Tony Stark is here!”
The shout of the manor’s maid came from outside.
“Why is Tony here?!”
She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if Tony Stark found out about this.
Looking at Wanda’s nervous expression, Hode subconsciously curled his lips into a smile.
He let go of Wanda’s hand and gently ruffled her fluffy hair.
“Don’t worry, he’s here for me!”
Long ago, Hode had already obtained shares in Stark Industries through a system reward.
He was considered a minor shareholder and kept in touch with Tony from time to time.
“That’s good…”
Wanda let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she didn’t know why Tony Stark was here, as long as he wasn’t here for her, it was fine.
But Hode’s next words almost made her cry on the spot.
“You seem quite relieved!”
Hode leaned in close to Wanda, cupping her fair, smooth chin.
“You must be very obedient. You wouldn’t want Tony to find out about this, would you?”
He had to admit, seeing Wanda’s furious and resentful look gave him an indescribable sense of pleasure.
“You…”
Facing his hot breath, Wanda blinked her large eyes and bit her lower lip, not daring to resist at all.
This guy was too despicable, and his threatening words were simply…
Knock, knock, knock!
“Mr. Hode, Mr. Stark is already in the reception room on the first floor.”
The maid’s voice sounded outside the door.
“I got it!”
Hode replied, then turned to stare straight at Wanda.
“My lovely Miss Witch, this is your last chance. Otherwise, I’m going to tell on you to Tony in a bit!”
“Tell on me?!”
“I should be the one telling on you!”
Wanda’s breathing quickened, and her heavily heaving chest looked exceptionally alluring under her shirt.
Although she was indeed the proactive one, he was clearly the one taking advantage of her, yet it had somehow become leverage for him.
She simply couldn’t understand how the man in front of her could be so self-righteous.
“Decide for yourself!”
Hode unashamedly sized up the Scarlet Witch.
He had to admit, because of her identity, he actually felt a long-lost sense of mental pleasure.
“Alright! I get it!”
She crawled over to the nightstand and picked up the paper and pen.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Hode’s burning gaze staring at her backside.
“Pervert!”
Wanda cursed in a low voice before quickly writing down a string of numbers on the paper.
“This is my number. If anything comes up, you can call me!”
Hode took out his phone and dialed the number with a skeptical look.
“You keep digging, pushing, driving like a hammer hitting in my headspace…”
Only after Wanda’s phone on the table rang did he hang up with peace of mind.
Wanda was stunned for a moment, then asked furiously, “You actually didn’t trust me?!”
“After all, this was my first time. I have to be a bit cautious no matter what.”
Hode smugly waved the phone in his hand.
“Where are my clothes?”
Feeling the friction against her chest, Wanda asked with a pout.
She really didn’t want to stay here for another second.
“The clothes have been washed and placed in the wardrobe.”
“You’re leaving now? Tony is right outside, you know.”
Hode’s lips curled up as he cast a playful glance toward the door.
“I can leave through the window!”
Wanda gestured toward the window with her chin.
In her current situation, she definitely didn’t want Tony to see her.
Right now, the entire team was at the center of a public relations storm.
Appearing here and doing this kind of thing at a time like this was clearly very inappropriate.
“Alright, make sure to keep your phone on.”
Hode didn’t forget to remind Wanda once more, then stood in place, staring at her without moving.
“Turn around!”
With just a single look, Wanda had already guessed Hode’s thoughts.
“This is my house, and besides, I remember it right here!”
Hode tapped his temple gently with his index finger.
“You!”
Wanda grit her teeth in anger.
Every time she spoke with Hode, she felt like she had met her nemesis.
She then waved her right hand, causing the blanket to rise like a curtain in front of her, and quickly changed into her Scarlet Suit.
Watching Wanda leap down cautiously from the window like a thief, Hode couldn’t help but smile.
“Seriously, why did that feel like we were sneakily doing something illegal?”
