The Devil Comes to the United States

Chapter 103 Christmas
When Zed and his party returned to New York, flakes of snow just fell in the sky.The first snow of the year was long overdue.

Zed stood on the edge of the company's roof and looked at the snowflakes all over the sky for a while, and then said with emotion:
"It's winter in the blink of an eye. It's really fast."

Skye stood beside Zed and stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes with the palm of his hand, "Christmas is coming soon, have you figured out how to spend it?"

"What Christmas? How to spend what?" Zed was a little confused, not quite understanding what Skye meant.

Skye looked at Zed with disbelief and said:
"You haven't forgotten all of it, have you? You really forgot! My God."

Zed's daily life now is purely enjoyment. The fun of fighting, the comfort of women, the icy coolness of Coke, etc. all make Zed intoxicated, and he doesn't think about Christmas at all.

Zed didn't pay much attention to it when he spent Christmas at old Charlie's house before. He just regarded Christmas as a day for eating big meals and receiving gifts.

Others celebrate Christmas to welcome the New Year, but Zed doesn't care about the New Year or not. The result is that Christmas is dispensable to Zed, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.

But now the situation is different!

Zed has now formed his own "family". As the head of the family, Zed has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the emotions between the family members. Festivals like Christmas cannot be dismissed hastily.

Zed looked at Skye with some shame, then grabbed her hands and said truthfully:

"Skye, you're the most normal of us. Can you help me?"

Skye grew up in an orphanage, and Christmas there couldn't be much better.After Skye left the orphanage and lived independently, he didn't have the energy and financial resources to go to Christmas again.

This year's Christmas is of great significance to Skye. Skye has relatives, lovers, sisters, and friends around her, and she is no longer alone.

Skye wanted to live this meaningful Christmas well, so he took over this important task, "Okay, let's prepare together!"

After Zed and Skye planned, everyone got to work.Those who move trees move trees, those who hang bells hang bells, and those who pull ribbons pull ribbons. Anyway, no one wants to be idle.

Fortunately, the space in Delanon Castle is too large, and it would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive to decorate the entire castle. In the end, Zed and Skye unanimously decided to simply decorate the living room and bedroom.

The company is the place that needs to be dressed up. After all, the company belongs to everyone's public area, and the size of the company's activity room is just right.

Zed originally planned to go out with Skye to buy Christmas presents, but seeing Carl and Skye's father and daughter hanging ribbons together, with happy smiles on their faces, Zed gave up the idea.

"Xin, help me put on some makeup, I'm going out." Ze dragged the letter into the room.

Xin asked while helping Zed disguise himself:
"Your Majesty the Demon King, do you need me to accompany you?"

"No, I'll go alone. It's boring if you see what I bought." Zed closed his eyes and rejected the letter.

After a while, Zed has changed.Zed took a look in the mirror and was very satisfied, "Xin, your craftsmanship is really good! I'm going out, so you tell them."

After Zed went out, he walked on the street alone, strolling through gift shops to choose gifts for his family, but Zed was not very satisfied with the things in these gift shops.

Zed thought carefully about the fact that Skye and the others had been with him for a long time, and he hadn't bought any decent gifts for them, so he turned around and hailed a taxi to go to the jewelry store in Times Square.

"Sir, what do you need?" The receptionist smiled professionally at Zed.

Tony and Pepper spruce up their beach house while Zed prepares Christmas presents, but Tony's mood is disturbed by a surprise visitor.

In the reception room, Tony sat down on the sofa with a glass of wine and asked:

"Christmas is coming soon, don't you have a holiday yet? As a boss, I am more humane than you."

Nick Fury didn't care about Tony's teasing, and put two documents on the table, "Let's have a look."

"Well, it's this Superboy project again, don't you guys have anything new? And I've already made it clear that I won't join your Superboy team." Tony opened the first file and took a quick look.

"Look at the second copy, that is Agent Romanov's assessment report on you." Nick Fury picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass, and took a sip.

Tony gave Nick Fury a blank look, opened the second document and read:
"Tony Stark personality assessment reports impulsive and self-destructive tendencies what! I was dying! Uh typical narcissist. I don't deny that.

Recruiting assessment for Avengers: Iron Man. Pass, Tony Stark fail!What! "

Tony raised his head and looked at Nick Fury in disbelief:
"Ugh, Iron Man and I are one. How can you just accept one side of me and deny the real me?"

Nick Fury got up and sat at the corner of the table staring at Tony with one eye and said:
"I was supposed to come to you two months ago, but I was delayed because of Zed Oleg.

The trouble this guy has caused has kept me busy.And you?Stark.How much better do you think you can be than Oleg? "

Tony thought for a while and said seriously:
"I think I'm a lot better than him."

"hope so."

Nick Fury shakes the Avengers preliminary plan and says:
"The establishment of the Avengers is to deal with super-capable criminals, and people like Zed Oleg are also the focus of attention."

"Then you should look for me." Tony said with a look of reason.

Nick Fury stared into Tony's eyes, "I can only give you a consultant position. Do you still want to join?"

Tony got up and shook hands with Nick Fury:

"Although you can't afford my salary, it is Iron Man's duty to maintain world peace, and it is Tony Stark's interest to teach Zed. So, I join!"

Tony is very clear that he and Zed are the same kind of people, they are both bohemian and extremely egotistical people, but in specific directions, Tony is lawful and Zed is chaotic.

When Zed loses control, he needs to step up and stop him.This is the responsibility and responsibility that Iron Man Tony Stark should have, at least Tony thinks so.

For this reason, the development plan of the anti-Kamen Rider armor has been put on the agenda by Tony.

Tony has gradually grown into a responsible superhero, and he has begun to think from the perspective of a guardian.The distance between Tony Stark and Iron Man has become smaller and smaller.

Jingle bells jingle bells.

In the living room on the top floor of the company, Christmas classics were played on a loop. Zed, Tan Lidou, Woz, Skye, Xin, Lilith, Carl, and Ling Ma sat around the fireplace and chatted by the fire, so warm!

Skye pressed tightly to Zed's body and asked softly:
"What gift did you prepare for us?"

Zed was still holding the unfinished turkey leg in his hand at this time, chewing big mouthfuls, and said vaguely in his mouth:

"Don't wait till tomorrow morning"

"What are you talking about, I can't hear you clearly! Oh, you said let's dismantle it now, don't wait until tomorrow morning. Right?" Skye responded to Zed in an exaggerated tone.

Zed pouted and shook his head vigorously.Skye immediately hugged Zed and shouted:

"Let's go open the presents together!"

Woz and the others looked at each other and got up and ran under the Christmas tree, looking for their own gift box, and eagerly unwrapped it.

Tan Lidou's gift is the largest and most conspicuous, and after taking it apart, a plaque is revealed: New Tan Lidou Kami sama.

"Ah! Hahahahaha~! Hahaha~! What a great gift! I want to hang it on the door of my laboratory! Hahahahaha~!" Tan Lidou cracked his mouth and laughed wildly.

Professor Ling Ma's gift was a stack of documents: World Tree Tower title deed, trademark, construction permit, and so on.

Professor Ling Ma said sincerely:
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty the Demon King."

Zed nodded in response with tears in his eyes, both because the gift was opened on the spot, and because his coffers were empty, whether private or public.

Carl's eyes were a little red when he opened his gift box. Although the items inside were old items, they were all handed down from Johnson's ancestral home.

Karl has been away from the ancestral home for many years, and the things inside have long since been left outside for various reasons.What Zed got back was only a small part.

"You have a heart." This is the first time Carl finds Zed pleasing to the eye.

Woz held the Hasselblad 503CW in his hand and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty the Demon King, this...this is"

"This is the camera I bought for you. I heard that the camera is more suitable for celebration." Zed had given up resistance and let them go.

After Xin opened the gift, he saw a pair of beautiful earrings lying quietly in the jewelry box. Lilith stopped him just as he was about to put them on.

Lilith took the puzzled letter and sat beside Zed, and took out her necklace and shook it.

Zed smiled knowingly and took the necklace and earrings for Lilith and the letter with his own hands.Seeing Lilith and Xin's gift, Skye stared at the gift, envious, "It's so beautiful!"

Zed shook his head and opened the last gift himself, and raised Skye's left hand to put a big diamond ring on Skye's ring finger.

"I already have historians, scientists, executioners, housekeepers, etc. around me, and now I still need a queen. Are you interested?" Zed looked at Skye with a smile on his face.

"Of course!" Skye threw himself into Zed's arms with red eyes.

In the middle of the night, Skye whispered in Zed's ear:

"Lilith and I have a letter and have prepared a gift for you."

"What gift?" Zed tilted his head to look at Skye.

Skye pointed to Zed's bedroom door:

"In your room."

"Where? No?" Zed couldn't wait to walk into the bedroom but couldn't find the gift box.

"Go back."
