The era of American comics begins

Chapter 33 Settlement
Wanda and Pietro got out of the back seat of the stretched Cadillac uneasily, and they were still a little dazed when they landed on the road in New York.

The majestic gate, solemn and solemn temperament, the maroon mansion is surrounded by a white wooden fence, and there are two staircases in front of the gate.

Elizabeth ordered the driver to turn off the engine and stand by in the driver's seat, while she got off the passenger seat.When she told the twins that the spiers-roofed maroon building would be theirs as of today, both children couldn't hide their surprise.

Elizabeth led the way up the stairs, took out the key and opened the lock, and then handed the key to Pietro (but his sister put it in his pocket before he was warmed up).Elizabeth pushed open the heavy door, revealing a long and spacious corridor.

The tall foyer, the circular arched windows, and the porch hall stretch to the north and south, and the sunlight casts the deep black shadow of the high wall on the velvet carpet.

Pietro walked into the sun-filled living room and whistled loudly.The wind at his feet flashed down the porch like an impatient bolt of lightning.The white afterimage flashed across all the rooms along the north-south porch, and then returned to the living room in a hurry.

"Ha! You should see how many rooms there are here!" He excitedly pointed to the back, "The bathroom is bigger than our previous living room!"

But then he might suddenly think that such a performance might make him look very immature, so he hastily put away his smiling face and folded his arms pretending to be calm: "Uh, I mean the house is very big, we are very grateful, but Nor is it anything we haven't seen."

Wanda straightened her hair, which was blown messy by her brother's hurricane, and reminded helplessly: "Pietro"

"Okay, I know, I understand, let's not talk about it." Pietro raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Elizabeth with some embarrassment.The fair-haired female secretary just stood aside with a faint smile and didn't respond to his performance.

"Then this way please." Elizabeth smiled and stretched out her hand to point the way. "I'll show you the room."

Despite her mental preparations, Wanda has to admit that she was a little bit intimidated.This house has an exaggeratedly large living room, two kitchens and a bright balcony with a swimming pool.The white square dining table in the dining room is so long that when you sit at one end, you may have to raise your voice to make the other end hear you; It's like moving a small library.

In addition, there are gymnasiums, karaoke halls, private theaters and game halls - the game halls are even thoughtfully equipped with the latest models of game consoles on the market. It seems that you can stay here for a month It won't be boring either.

"Well, you guys are really thoughtful." Wanda carefully considered the language for a moment, and said to Elizabeth, "To be honest, it's a bit too thoughtful. We're not sure it's a good idea."

"I think it's pretty good." Pietro said, and he was already lying flat on a bed warmed by the sun. "I've decided that this is the one I want for my bedroom."

Wanda frowned: "Pietro"

"Please rest assured, Ms. Maximov. These are gifts, part of the work agreement. The contract will be sent here soon, and you can take a closer look at it yourself."

Pietro sat up cross-legged on the bed: "We still have a contract?"

"Of course." Elizabeth explained, "On the surface, you are all special consultants of 'New Energy Development Creativity Co., Ltd.', which is a subsidiary of the Paso Group."

"On the surface," Wanda bit the word, "so in fact, we are agents of the new Hydra?"

"In fact, compared to Hydra, the nature is closer to Aegis. In addition, your identities are not agents. Although they are similar, they are more special in nature. But you will understand these when you see the contract." Elizabeth did not continue this topic. The meaning of going down, turned to say, "Okay. Mr. Passo told me that I should take you to buy a few sets of clothes after seeing the house. Shall we go now?"

The twins looked down at the only set of crumpled clothes tacitly at the same time, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"The car is waiting outside," Elizabeth said. "Let's go."

A few hours later, the twins who seemed to come from the country were suddenly packaged as if they had changed from head to toe.Pietro had a clean and refreshing haircut, changed into a black leather jacket, and paired it with a pair of black pants. Compared with before, he was quite heroic.Wanda's reddish-brown hair was simply dyed dark red, draped softly on her shoulders.She put on a black jacket with a light-colored lining and a pair of slim-fit jeans, giving her the image of an urban girl.

The twins each bought a few sets of clothes, in addition to some simple necessities of life.Elizabeth swiped their cards to settle the bill for them, and they immediately returned to the Cadillac that had been waiting outside.

These few hours of getting along made the brothers and sisters feel a little more friendly towards the secretary.On the way back, Wanda hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "So, Miss Betty?"

"What, do you need anything else?"

"No." Wanda waved her hand, "I'm just curious to come here to arrange these things for us, is this also part of your job?"

Elizabeth nodded: "My job is to do whatever Mr. Passo asks me to do."

"So you know him?"

"Only what he allowed me to understand." Elizabeth said lightly.

"But you know his other identity, right? You know what he's busy with in his spare time when he's not the president of a multinational company." Wanda said, "You never thought he was a very dangerous person ?"

Elizabeth slightly restrained her smiling expression.She turned her head, and at that moment Wanda seemed to see unprecedented solemnity in the secretary's eyes.

"If you think so, it's probably just that you don't know him well," Elizabeth said. "Mr. Passo is the best person I've ever met and the nicest person. Know who he is deep down. It's an honor to be able to do things for him."

Wanda looked at her in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

The car stopped.Elizabeth got up and opened the car door: "Okay, you have arrived. Go home and rest, don't leave anything behind. If there is a need later, I will contact you again."
