Chapter 296 You Shouldn’t Have Picked It Up

"How's it going? Does the taste here suit your taste?"

Putting aside the previous topic for the time being, Leni looked at Steve, who had just learned to use chopsticks and took a bite of food.

"It has a very unique taste. It would be better if the spiciness could be less, but I like it very much. What is the name of this dish?"

Steve tried to use chopsticks to pick up a piece of fried meat and carefully put it into his mouth.

"Stir-fried beef slices with onions, this is just a home-cooked dish, not as famous as Kung Pao Chicken."

Leni skillfully picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. She had not tasted this familiar taste from her hometown for a long time.

The meal was quite satisfying. Except for two Sichuan dishes that didn't quite suit Steve's taste, he praised all the other dishes.

“Thank you very much, the food here is great!”

Steve gave a thumbs up and kept praising the landlady. This must be the first time since he woke up that he felt that being alive might be a good thing.

"It is our blessing to be able to satisfy our customers. Just enjoy your meal."

The landlady smiled and waved her hand. She originally planned to give Leni a free order, but at Leni's strong request, she took the money and returned to the cashier.

After drinking and eating, Leni and others were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, after a short break, they returned to the conversation about the Avengers Project.

"So what you are doing now is also preparing for some kind of threat?"

Captain America put down his tea cup and turned his attention back to Leni sitting across from him.

"Well, SHIELD doesn't intend to stop researching the Cosmic Cube. Even though I warned Nick Fury, he still insisted on his own opinion, so I had to make some preparations in advance to deal with unknown threats."

Leni didn't hide it. Sooner or later, Steve would know about Nick Fury's research on the Cosmic Cube, but by then, I'm afraid it would be too late.

"SHIELD is still studying the Cosmic Cube in depth?"

Steve frowned. Although he had already guessed that SHIELD would not give up that thing easily, hearing this answer from Leni with his own ears was still a bit difficult for him to accept.

"Perhaps the existence of Thor and Loki has stimulated Nick Fury. The Cosmic Cube can be said to be one of the few trump cards in his hand."

Leni didn't say much. In fact, among the so-called trump cards, Leni herself was included.

Steve was noncommittal. He had never seen the Asgar people mentioned by Leni, nor had he seen any relevant video materials. From just a few words, it was really difficult for him to imagine how powerful these so-called aliens were. To what extent.

"Since you have defeated them once, you can naturally defeat them a second time. The Cosmic Cube is not a good thing that promotes human progress. It will only bring war and disaster to mankind."

Steve didn't want to continue the topic. As a soldier, he would fight if necessary, but he still insisted on his opinion.

"SHIELD shouldn't have fished it out."

Leni shrugged. It seemed that today's conversation ended here, so she simply did not continue to explain.

"Let's not talk about it. I see that you don't have a means of transportation. I give you this key as a Christmas gift."

Taking out a bunch of keys from her arms, Leni placed them on the dining table and pushed them in front of Steve.

Steve lowered his head and glanced at the keychain. This was not the sports car key that Leni had given to the security guard at the expo gate. Instead, it looked more like...

"A Harley-Davidson. I heard that you used to like motorcycles, so I took it upon myself to choose this brand for you. It should be delivered here shortly."

Leni took out her cell phone and took a look. This motorcycle had been kept at Stark's New York branch. She had planned to give it to Captain America for a long time, but she had been busy, so this was the perfect opportunity.

"Hmm, just in time, the car has arrived, let's go and go out and take a look."

After saying that, Leni didn't give Steve a chance to refuse, so she stood up first, put on her sunglasses and walked outside.

Steve looked at the back of Leni as she stood up and left, and then at Skye who looked opposite with a curious face. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to return the key to Leni.

"Just keep it, Mr. Rogers. This amount of money is nothing to Leni, but it is you. If you want to understand this era, you can't just hitchhike."

Skye smiled, also stood up from her seat, put on her sunglasses like Leni, and hurriedly chased out the door.

Steve frowned and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only sigh, pick up the bunch of keys on the table, say hello to the proprietress at the counter, and then leave quickly.

"Miss Leni, your car has been delivered to you, please take a look."

Walking out of the expo area, Leni and the other three saw a domineering black and gray Harley-Davidson cruiser being delivered off the truck from a long distance away. One of the men in suits saw Leni coming out and immediately hurried to greet her. Come over.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will tell Pepper to give you a salary increase when I get back."

Leni nodded. This man was an employee of Stark Technology. He was temporarily arranged by Pepper to deliver a car to Leni, but looking at him, he didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

"It's not hard work, it's my honor to serve you..."

The man smiled warmly, then hesitated for a moment, and looked at Leni with a little embarrassment.

"Just... I don't know if you can give me an autograph. I'm actually your fan."

Laini was stunned when she heard this, then she shook her head with a helpless smile and joked:

"No wonder Pepper said you were very active and proactive. It turns out that you have other intentions."

The man scratched his head embarrassedly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Do you have a pen and paper? I don't have it with me."

Laini did not refuse the other party's request. After all, she had troubled others in advance, and it was no big deal to just sign an autograph.

"Oh! Yes!"

The man was very surprised. He thought the matter was going to blow, but he didn't expect Miss Lainie to be so easy-going. He quickly took out the small notebook and signature pen that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Lainie.

Seeing this, Lainie couldn't help laughing again.

"You really came prepared."

After sending away the male fan from the company, Lainie carefully looked at the Harley-Davidson in front of her. From the appearance, there were no scratches or bumps. Obviously, the company had protected it well.

Patting the tank of the ferocious beast, Lainie turned her head and looked at Steve who was still in a daze not far behind her.

"How about trying it?"

Steve was awakened by Lainie's words, and for a moment he didn't know whether to refuse.

Accept it, he did nothing, and just took a motorcycle for free.

Don't accept it, the more he looks at this motorcycle, the more he likes it. Whether it is the body shape or the color appearance, it can be said that every point is very much to his taste. The words of refusal are stuck in his throat, and he really can't say it for a while.

Skye on the side saw Steve's hesitation and simply reached out and pushed him.

"Hey, Mr. Rogers, go up and feel it first. Anyway, it's delivered, so we can't let people run for nothing, right?"
