In Marvel's Kamen Rider Chronicle

Chapter 22 Howard Stark
Howard Stark.

A former playboy, a former... well, a rotten person, a former and still one of the top scientists in the world.

When he pushed open the door of Youqi Bookstore in a flamboyant suit, he looked at the interior of the bookstore, showing disgust, and had no intention of hiding it.

"Oh, man, although it's a bit impolite, I've always been a straight-talking person. You're a bit too crude here."

As he said that, Howard walked around the bookstore familiarly, and then pointed out the decoration in the bookstore, saying for a while that this place is not good, and for a while he said where the photo frames should be moved.

In the end, Howard sat across from the ranger: "To be honest, when I heard from Carter that he had found a consultant for us SHIELD, I didn't pay much attention at first.

It's just that I'm a little interested in you after hearing her tell you your conditions. "

You Qili didn't even bother to care about Howard, holding a magazine in his hand with a swimsuit lady on the cover and reading it with gusto.

Howard raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed at Ranger's attitude of ignoring himself, after all, he is the center of the crowd wherever he is.

But he continued: "Carter said that we should fully support the construction of Devil City. I thought you were a hero who was dedicated to this city. However, after seeing you in person, I am a little uncertain."

You Qi indifferently turned over a page of the magazine and casually said, "Don't hesitate, I am this kind of person, I am dedicated to the public, and I have no personal interests."

Howard twitched the corners of his mouth. He believed in such deceitful words.

"Forget it, the Stark Group has decided to open a subsidiary here, and your place will be the first branch outside the New York headquarters in the future."

You Qi was very calm: "Oh."

"Hey! Your reaction should be bigger!" Howard couldn't bear it anymore, "I have brought at least [-] jobs! There are hundreds of millions of investment!"

Ranger looked at Howard suspiciously: "What does that have to do with me?"

Howard: "..."

Strictly speaking, it really doesn't matter, the money won't go to Ranger...

After thinking for a while, Howard looked at the magazine in the rider's hand: "Do you have a swimsuit girl you like? Tell me if you have anything, and you can spend a good night with her tonight."

You Qi's eyes suddenly brightened: "Really?!"

Howard showed a look of disdain and understanding for men, looked at You Qi playfully, and then nodded: "Of course."

With a bang, a cup of coffee was placed in front of You Qi.

"Wandering sama, you! Tea!" Yaz approached with a smile on his face.

You Qi shrank his neck and coughed: "Um, let's have a cup of coffee anyway, oh, and pour a cup for this guest!"

Yaz looked at Howard with a smile: "I don't think this guest needs it, right?"

Howard looked at Yazi's smiling expression, swallowed his saliva, and felt a hair on his back...

"Hey, what, I'm here to talk about business, uh, what, there is something in S.H.I.E.L.D., which was snatched from Hydra during the previous war. Hydra developed energy based on that thing. Weapons, and now the military is asking us to develop weapons based on those things.”

Ranger nodded: "So?"

Howard sat upright: "So... I'm here to see who the S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant is..."

Howard smiled.

Well, he actually has no purpose at all today.

It's just that I stayed there for too long, and then I came out to get some air. By the way, I saw who Carter refused to join after inviting him several times, and only kept a consultant title.

But after coming here, to be honest Howard was a little disappointed...

Because...it's a bit ordinary...

You Qi nodded again: "Oh, I see you, you can go back."

Howard curled his lips and stood up, but he didn't leave. Instead, he started shopping in the bookstore again.

Then, he randomly picked up a book, opened it and glanced at it casually, and then his eyes froze:
【Howard Stark

Age: 49 years old

Occupation: Scientist, one of the founders of Stark Group
Currently working in the Science Department of S.H.I.E.L.D.

life experience:

Born in 19XX, when I was young, I...]

The more he looked back, the more shocked Howard was.

Until it recorded that the 49-year-old came to this bookstore, and then opened it, there was a brand new blank page behind.

"This, this is..." As a scientist, Howard didn't believe in the mysterious side.

But at this moment, now, the book that appeared in front of him could not be explained by science anyway.

"It's just a book that records your life." You Qi took a sip of Blue Mountain coffee and said casually, "Didn't I tell you? In my bookstore here, every book corresponds to a person's life."

Howard was taken aback for a moment, then put the book in his hand back on the shelf, picked up another book, opened it, and frowned: "You lied to me?"

You Qi: "Tsk tsk, as a scientist, how can you make such a superficial judgment because of the mysterious inner resistance?"

Howard opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but the ranger snapped his fingers before he could speak, and then said loudly:
"Designated in the Name of the World: Condition 1: Steve Rogers

Condition 2: Captain America.

Now, reopen that book in your hand. "

Howard closed the book in his hand and opened it again. His pupils shrank. The pages that were originally blank were now full of words and patterns.

And the first picture is the head portrait of his former friend.

Flipping through the pages with trembling hands, Howard flipped through the content, and then, when he saw the last page——

"...and the Red Skull of Hydra in a decisive battle at the Arctic Circle. In the end, the plane they were on crashed in the Arctic. Because of the super recovery power of the super serum, they survived and fell into ice."

——In the content, Howard suddenly raised his head and looked at the ranger: "Is the one on this real?"

You Qi smiled and shrugged noncommittally: "Well, who knows, didn't you just say that I lied to you?"

Howard suppressed the boiling in his heart, frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice: "The North Pole... the North Pole... Tsk, damn it, it's the North Pole. If it's not the North Pole, we can send warships to look for it. If it's the North Pole, then it's inevitable. Yes, it will definitely be intercepted by the Soviet Union... Tsk, damn it..."

After thinking about it, Howard looked up at Ranger: "Are there any specific coordinates? If there are coordinates, we can just send an elite team to look for them, so that we can avoid..."

Howard said, his tone became more and more excited, and his eyes watching Ranger became brighter and brighter.

You Qi raised his eyebrows and nodded at the table: "Didn't you call me a liar just now?"

Howard choked, then broke his mouth decisively: "ok, ok, my fault, my fault, I apologize to you..."

As he said that, Howard looked at the swimsuit magazine that was put aside by You Qi, and said: "If you want to make up for it, you can give me a list, and I can let them come to this small village to have a pool party, oh, Of course, you can invite as many people as you want for a wonderful evening or several."

Howard bit the bullet, finished these words against Yazi's increasingly murderous eyes.

The eyes of rangers are getting brighter and brighter. If possible, who doesn't want to ride a big ocean horse?

"Oh, my friend, I can't refuse the conditions you offered." You Qi stood up and held out his hand. Howard thought that You Qi agreed, and happily held it with You Qi.

"So, you agreed?"

You Qi nodded: "Well, that's right, it's just that there is a small problem."

Howard was slightly taken aback: "Question?"

Ranger smiled and said: "You know, I'm just an ordinary person. If you need to know the exact location of Captain America, it's equivalent to scanning every corner of the Arctic Circle with a human brain, and this is impossible. of."

Howard hesitated to speak, you said you are an ordinary person, so am I an iron waste?

"Well, it's impossible with a human brain." Ranger pointed to his head, and then handed Howard a silver USB flash drive that appeared from the air.

"However, if it's a monster, then it's fine." Ranger smiled and looked at Howard, "Do you want to be an ordinary person and let your friends continue to sleep in the ice of the North Pole, or become a monster, and then Rescue your friend?"

Howard stared at Ranger in a daze.

You Qi smiled at him: "Welcome to Devil City, here~ is the city of monsters."
