After World War I, America in the 1920s and 1930s ushered in a golden age of economic explosion.

At that time, people used to call the wealthy areas of Long Island, New York, "East Egg" and "West Egg" respectively. This was because the terrain planning of the two coastlines was like an ellipse placed at the east and west ends. shaped pigeon eggs.

Almost all the rich and tycoons living in "East Egg" on Long Island at that time had a long family history and inheritance, and they were traditional aristocrats deeply rooted in the political and business circles of the United States.

And "West Egg" is synonymous with nouveau riche.

More than half a century has passed, and Long Island is still the most famous wealthy area in New York, but it has long since lost its old name.

The wheels of the times are rolling forward, not to mention a wealthy family with a long history, even dynasties and countries will inevitably rise and fall. The so-called East Egg aristocratic district in those days has long been changed, and it has been replaced by the newly rising capital generation after generation. Tycoons replaced.

But here is the most privileged and private location, and the Howlett Manor, which occupies the most expansive area, is said to have stood there since the beginning of this century and has never changed.

It seems to be a spectator in the long river of history, always watching the surrounding "neighbors" come and go.

James seldom lives in a mansion in New York. Over the years, he lives in an old mansion in Canada. This is mainly the place where Asazzo and Raven’s family live in daily life. The Rogers couple who also work in New York Will stay here often too.

But today, the servants rarely saw Mr. Howlett sitting in meditation by the huge fireplace in the living room early in the morning, without realizing when he came back.

The butler of the manor asked the master if he wanted some breakfast in some trepidation, but in the end he just put aside the cigars James usually smoked and some drinks, not daring to bother him any more.

He didn't seem to be in a good mood, he didn't even move the cigar on the nanmu coffee table, he just sat on the sofa with one hand on his forehead, watching the crackling firewood in the fireplace.

The dim light of the fire reflected James' uncertain face, as if he was waiting for something.

puff!

A cloud of black and red smoke flashed at the door of the living room with Asazzo's figure. His suit jacket was draped over his shoulders, he was wearing a shirt and leaning on the handrail of the building, tilting his head and sticking out his long red ears, observing Follow the movement in the house.

"Huh? Dad? When did you come?"

Asazo was relieved when he saw his father was surprised. With his tail drooping and his head shaking, he teleported to the sofa opposite James and lay down on the sofa, looking very tired.

"Well, what did you do? You didn't come back last night."

James rolled his eyes strangely when he saw Asazzo's appearance. He asked softly, touched the cigar box, and unnaturally took out one and held it in his hand.

Azazuo squinted his eyes on the sofa, flicked his tail for a while, and said vaguely in his mouth:

"Well, no, nothing. By the way, dad!"

He suddenly cheered up, turned over and lay on his side, looked at James with a chicken face and said:

"Ahem, when Raven asks later, I'll tell you that I've gone to work with you! Otherwise, she'll be nagging again, which will be very troublesome!"

"Hiss."

James took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Seeing Asazzo leaning back and getting confused again, he gritted his teeth, tried his best to suppress his emotions and said calmly:

"Why is Raven in trouble? Even I know about your little things!"

"You! How do you know everything?"

A Sazuo got up in a jerk, looked at his father with a cigar between his hands and lit it with a smile that was not a smile, scratched the beard on his chin in embarrassment, and continued helplessly:

"That guy Eric must have told you. He's just jealous that it's easy for me to sneak out. I haven't relaxed in the daily training of the Legion, and maybe he's jealous of my many fans. Alas, I've tried to keep a low profile .”

The Red Devil flashed to the armchair on the right of James again, looked more serious, and then asked:

"By the way, Dad, what is the purpose of the 'Sirius Legion'? To be honest, the 'Whip of Order' and the 'Wolves' are actually enough—"

"Let's not talk about the legion, cough cough. Tell me specifically what you sneaked out to do!"

James interrupted Asazzo by taking a puff of his cigar, and coughed a few times with some choking smoke, and became unusually serious.

"Hey, I was interviewed and participated in a talk show last year. Did you know that I have a group of so-called 'devil believers' fans? That hostess is one of them. She often invites me to participate in the fan meeting."

Asazo spoke, his eyes became serious, and his relaxed and casual tone became more and more suspicious. He stared at his father's strange smoking posture, as if he was a novice who had never touched cigars, and he smoked it like an ordinary cigarette. with.

James suddenly became emotional. He sat up straight and flicked out his cigar indiscriminately.

"Hostress? Fan meeting? Hmph! Is this something you should get involved in? Raven works so hard every day, and she has to worry about the mess in S.H.I.E.L.D. I'll be as virtuous as you when I grow up! I can't control it if I want to run around."

Asazo's red face turned black, he snorted twice and exploded into a cloud of smoke, then teleported from James' side to sit opposite him.

Seeing the hysterical appearance of "father" that he had never seen before, he patted his forehead and said helplessly:

"My dear, it's really hard work for you. It's not easy to become a father. He's so tall, hehe, don't force yourself."

"James" had his hands on his hips, his chest was heaving violently, and he folded his arms when he heard Asazo's teasing sound, his black robe and his burly figure shrunk rapidly.

Layers of indigo blue scales turned up on the handsome and resolute face, and suddenly changed back to Raven wearing pale pink silk pajamas, crossed his legs and said sharply:

"Do you think I don't know? Don't forget that I'm in charge of the intelligence work of SHIELD with Peggy! Your hostess lady from France has been checked out by me a long time ago!"

Asazuo snorted and leaned back on the sofa, and retorted with a stiff neck:

"Then what did you find out! Huh? Hehe, you turned into a father to deceive me. Your Excellency Mystique, you are really brave!"

"...I, Dad won't mind. If he knew you treated me like this, he would definitely throw you to the Arctic Circle to guard the 'Wolf Tower'! If I couldn't catch the traces of your meeting, I would have thrown the evidence in Your 'baboon ass'!"

"I said it was just an ordinary fan meeting! Raven, you are willing to let me go to such a cold place"
