Inside the World Expo of Tomorrow's venue, the event was indeed quite lively.
The crowd was chattering aloud, and the lights were gorgeous.
Everywhere, one can see young men and women hugging and enjoying the mood.
Luke and his two pals stood close to a vast metal globe, silently eating the snacks they bought from the bar earlier while waiting for the girls.
Soon, three young and lively girls waved their hands and called them over.
They wore brightly colored cotton dresses and flat heels, looking enthusiastic and reserved at the same time.
Bucky beckoned and pointed at Luke and Rogers behind him while saying, "Girls, they are my friends."
The girls, ignoring the small thin figure in between, looked over or Luke, one by one.
Currently, Steve Rogers was not yet the Captain America with a huge build and strengthened muscles, and there was no so-called 'American ass'. Naturally, he couldn't attract these young girls.
However, Luke, on the other hand, looked pretty good.
The neat short black hair and the slightly stern young face could make any girl feel interested in him.
"Don't be stubborn, Rogers. You gotta have some fun!" Bucky said as he put his hands over the thin man's shoulders.
While Luke, who was now walking in the front, was surrounded by the young girls, listening to them chattering about boring stuff.
They soon crossed the area with the metal globes. Passing through some small exhibition halls, they entered the core area.
"Welcome to the Modern Marvels Pavilion——"
The narrator's voice paused slightly, and then with increased depth in his tone, he continued, "The world of the future! A greater world! A better world! Everything starts with Stark Industries!"
The people coming and going clapped and shouted in admiration, with a novel look in their eyes.
The steel dummy in the glass showcase, the airplane model that was hanging from the ceiling, and the glass curtain wall showing Howard Stark's inventions…
These were undoubtedly quite advanced and emerging products that the public found very attractive.
However, Luke didn't feel much enthusiastic about these.
He was from the 21st century and had already binge-watched enough sci-fi movies to get excited from this expo's exhibitions.
The gadgets placed as showcases could hardly arouse his interest.
However, the girls, who held his arms left and right, were so surprised as if they had found a whole new world.
It gave Luke a headache.
Sometimes, he wanted to be like Rogers, strolling behind with a cup of popcorn, enjoying the moment in peace.
As if sensing Luke's mood, Rogers, who was standing behind them, picked up a few popcorns and threw them into his mouth with a smirk on his face.
However, Luke was relieved soon.
The two girls around him suddenly screamed like fans and rushed to the base of the main exhibition area stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Howard Stark!"
The host on the stage announced as the curtains opened.
Several beautiful women in tight waistcoats and black tuxedos did an excellent performance in front of a red car.
Then, Howard Stark, with a mustache, walked onto the stage.
There was a burst of violent applause from the audience.
Howard Stark, the man of the era. A young genius with a clever mind.
However, the love scandals of this genius never seemed to stop.
Howard, who walked out from behind the scenes, did not greet the audience but deeply kissed a beautiful girl on stage, with a confident and charming smile on his face.
'This guy really is the father of Iron Man, can't deny that…' Standing in the audience, Luke felt quite impressed.
Thinking about Iron Man, who once had a fantastic feat of sleeping with every cover girl of the playboy magazine throughout a year, made him feel that being flirty and having lots of affairs was the true inheritance of the Stark Family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you, in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all."
He moved the microphone, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his lips while the audience, with audible gasps, digested what he had said.
He seemed to enjoy the gazes of the audience while talking about his company's innovative technology; he then beckoned the pretty girls to take off the wheels of the red car.
Standing on the stage, Howard Stark was not like a scientist, but he was more of a magician who was also well-versed in acting skills.
He knew how to grab the audience's attention.
"With Stark Ravitic Reversion technology, you will be able to do just that!"
Howard smiled and turned on the power by moving the lever on the podium.
The car, whose wheels had been removed, slowly began to float in the air.
This magical scene made the audience hold their breath.
