Chapter 15 – Peggy Carter and first impression

The end result was that Chris turned over the designs and received 5% of the stock in Stark Industries, plus a million dollars in cash.

The million dollars was heavy enough to fill a car. It was his first big pot of money!

Just as he arrived at an intersection, Chris saw an exceptionally beautiful woman with unusually fair skin, wavy permed hair slicked back, and bright lipstick applied just right.

"Peggy Carter?" Chris was taken aback to see Agent Carter here.

Carter seemed confused as well, looking left and right before finally noticing a man in a car staring at her with lustful eyes.

She was used to such stares by now and walked over in high heels, "Hello sir, could you give us a ride?"

"I don't usually give rides, but since you're a pretty girl, I'll make an exception this time." Chris put the money box away.

Soon Peggy Carter arrived, pushing a wheelchair with a paralyzed old man in it. Beside him was a fashionably dressed, mature beauty who bore some resemblance to Carter.

Fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes added to her allure. Every blink and laugh showed refined manners, a mature seductress no young man could resist!

"This is my father and mother, thank you for bringing us." Carter smiled.

"You're welcome, if we're fated we might even become friends. I rather enjoy mooching meals at friends' homes." Chris smiled as well, proactively helping Carter get her father into the car.

After helping Carter move, Chris left his number and returned home.

As he walked in, he saw Steve and Bucky waiting anxiously, overjoyed at his return.

"What are you doing? Wanna mooch a meal?" Chris handed his mother the food and sat down on the sofa to entertain them. Aunt Esther was asleep, the swelling in her privates hadn't gone down yet and she needed to rest.

"No Chris, Bucky is in trouble and needs your help, Bucky's father lost money at the casino and now owes money and has been arrested, Mrs. Barnes also has gambling debts, Bucky and I are at our wit's end and wanted to ask you if you know anyone who might know a way out." Steve told the whole story.

It turns out that a few months ago, Bucky's parents had taken to gambling, lost their life savings, and were tens of thousands in debt. His father was arrested while his mother stayed home in tears.

The casino was run by Japanese, apparently the Yamaguchi-gumi, who were also involved in all sorts of illegal activities that could make quick money.

Knowing it was run by the Japanese, Chris knew what to do. Japan was very afraid of America, he could handle it just by stepping in, paying at most.

"OK, I'll see what I can do. But first I need to ask Mrs. Barnes for the details, maybe negotiate if the casino cheated, otherwise the debt will have to be repaid." Chris frowned, remembering that Mrs. Barnes was rarely seen because of the economic differences between the families. But she was quite attractive - women in Europe and America only have white skin, and the white skin alone was eye-catching!

Bucky said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry for the trouble, I'm reporting to a nearby military camp tomorrow. Causing issues myself would be problematic."

Soldiers couldn't stir up trouble, messing with a force like the gangs could lead to shootouts.

"I'll try, not sure if I can handle. Mom, we're going out to eat." Chris told Steve and Bucky to wait outside.

Somehow, Steve couldn't tell why, but he had the sense that this son of his mother's was no longer acting like a son anymore.
