Marvel: Lustful of the king of angels

Time passed, and 2-3 days later...

Lucifer , who had already finished studying the materials, began preparing to establish a fixed address.

After all, as the King of Angels, he couldn't not have a proper home, could he?

The suborbital Angel City was definitely going to be built.

But not now.

If possible, Lucifer first planned to create something within normal human society that would uniquely interact with ordinary people.

That is... angel investment.

(I'll pay attention to tone and status, and this is only for the early stages—rest assured about the character setup. Soon, the prestige and combat power will skyrocket.)

This would be the only thing connecting angels to society.

The company would only recruit those with unwavering faith in angels.

As the king of an angelic civilization, he couldn't casually interact with mortals, nor could the other angels.

But angels couldn't be completely isolated from normal society either.

So, a well-placed angel investment firm was just right.

In ancient times, it was called the "Angel Kingdom."

In modern times, it's called "Angel Investment."

In the universe, it's called the "Angelic Civilization."

That's the gist of it. For now, this is the temporary plan.

However, there's something worth mentioning from the past few days.

That is Lucifer 's appearance in Dubai.

The clearest video on YouTube has already reached tens of millions of views.

And it's about to surpass a hundred million.

Under normal circumstances, this video would have gone viral globally by now.

The reason it's only at tens of millions is that many believe Lucifer is a 3D-rendered character.

The comment section is filled with remarks about how perfect the angel looks.

The footage is so realistic it seems unreal.

But even so,

those tens of millions of views still provided Lucifer with a massive energy reserve.

For those few days, he didn't even need to conserve his use of the Eye of Insight.

Morning.

9:37 AM.

The entrance of Stark Tower was crowded with reporters from various companies.

Usually, only invited journalists would enter, but Tony's press conferences... were different.

Stepping out of the backseat of a Rolls-Royce,

Tony's right hand was in a gauntlet.

After taking a burger from his friend and bodyguard, Happy, he said,

"You, you, you, and you, plus these two—you can all come in."

He casually pointed to a few reporters he liked.

Tony then led his group into Stark Tower.

Yes, that's Tony for you.

Only he could make such spontaneous decisions.

Meanwhile,

in a luxurious top-tier hotel in New York,

Lucifer was casually manipulating some data on his laptop.

If you looked closely, you'd know what it was.

Yes, stocks.

With Tony about to announce the closure of the weapons division,

Stark Industries' stock was bound to plummet.

That meant short-selling in the stock market could reap massive profits.

Unlike the usual long positions, where profits come from rising stocks,

short-selling profits when stocks fall.

The details aren't worth mentioning—basically, just "borrowing" some money from Stark's doomed stocks.

After all, building the Angel Investment Tower and other necessities would require funds.

Though Lucifer didn't care about the balance in his account or how much money he could make,

he couldn't have nothing.

Consider it payment for saving Tony—at worst, he'd just give Tony some useless tech later.

Technology angels don't need is still cutting-edge here.

Next,

the Stark press conference continued.

Tony sat casually on the steps, biting into a burger with his left hand.

Chewing, he suddenly paused, as if remembering something.

"I think I mentioned I wanted to treat an angel to my favorite burger."

As soon as Tony said this,

a reporter immediately asked loudly, "The angel from Dubai?!"

"The angel from Dubai?" Tony looked puzzled.

The reporter quickly pulled out his phone,

opened the video of Lucifer surrounded by birds, and handed it to Tony.

Tony leaned forward, watching until the end.

Then he turned back to the reporters and asked, "Does anyone know where he lives?"

Whoosh...

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

No one knew if it was real or fake, let alone where he lived.

Even Obadiah had no idea what Tony was thinking.

The reporter who showed Tony the video quickly asked:

"Mr. Stark, do you know this angel? You just said you wanted to treat an angel to... a burger."

Tony's expression turned serious.

Looking down at the reporters, he said, "Yes, his name is Lucifer . He's the angel who saved me in Afghanistan."

"If you know where he is, I'd really like to treat him to my favorite burger."

The crowd knew Tony was serious—after all, he was offering his favorite thing.

But they couldn't help but laugh.

Only Tony could think of treating an angel to a burger.

"We don't know where he is, but in the video, the angel appeared in Dubai's tower before saving you."

"Since then, he hasn't been seen anywhere else in the world."

After arriving in the U.S., Lucifer kept his wings hidden whenever people were around.

Though he preferred having them out, he tucked them away to avoid unnecessary trouble.

So, until the angel's popularity truly exploded,

he could still move around freely.

Hearing the reporters' response, Tony nodded. "I hope I can see that angel again."

After saying this,

Tony stood up.

He walked behind the podium, his expression solemn as he looked at everyone.

After a moment of silence, Tony formally began recounting his experiences in Afghanistan.

Finally,

he looked at the crowd and slowly announced, "I hereby declare the permanent closure of Stark's weapons division, until it serves a meaningful purpose again."

At the same time,

the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division—S.H.I.E.L.D.—was discussing the same topic Tony had just addressed.

That is: angels...
