Christmas Celebration

---

After entering, Banner saw a staircase leading down. He followed Kai down and heard Kai say:

"I used magic to cover this place up. It's just a trick so that people who are not familiar with it won't find the entrance."

"Wow, cool!"

Following Kai to the basement, Banner discovered that the space here seemed much larger than he had imagined. And Banner saw Samuel, who had already put on a white coat and was ready to do experiments.

Kai: "I have also expanded the space in the basement to a certain extent. We don't have to worry about the width and height. It is enough for us now. If there is not enough space in the future, I can expand it."

After showing Banner around the manor and the laboratory, Kai let him go around on his own.

Sitting on the balcony of his room on the second floor and looking at the manor in front of him, Kai felt very satisfied.

Kai comfortably made a cup of coffee on the coffee machine in the house, and then drank the coffee while enjoying the breeze on the balcony. Because his room was facing the gate of the manor, when Kai looked at the empty yard in front of the manor for a long time, he suddenly felt:

"Well, it seems like there are fewer people now, so there are a lot of empty rooms."

Kai muttered to himself. At this moment, Ethan called:

"Kai, the company has moved everything. We are planning to organize a celebration for all employees. Do you want to come?"

Hearing Ethan's words, Kai became interested. His manor had just been completed, so he planned to take Banner and Samuel with him to eat, drink, and have some fun.

After hanging up the phone, Kai found Banner and Samuel and discovered that Banner had already started doing experiments with Samuel. Then when they heard Kai say that he was going to a big party, both of them shook their heads and said they didn't want to go.

Samuel was afraid of being found by the "bureaucrats," and Banner was afraid of turning into the Hulk in a noisy environment. Although Kai repeatedly assured them that nothing would happen, neither of them planned to go.

There was no choice; Kai had to go alone at night.

In the evening, Kai, Ethan, and the company's employees ate and drank to their heart's content before going home.

In the following time, Kai's daily routine was to practice his mastery of spatial power and strengthen his physical strength. However, without Hulk as a sparring partner, his physical strength increased slowly. Then he would go to see the progress of Gear and Samuel.

Soon, it was Christmas.

Well, Kai didn't have any special feelings about this festival and planned to treat it like an ordinary festival.

But a week in advance, Pepper had already discussed with Grandpa and asked them to go to Tony's villa together to celebrate Christmas.

Grandpa was very happy about Pepper's invitation, so he made the decision for Kai and agreed.

It just so happened that Kai's parents were planning to travel and couldn't come back for Christmas, so there was no situation where the two families' plans collided.

So when Christmas came, Grandpa took Kai out early. Because Grandpa was old, Kai drove the car and brought a lot of gifts and things to Tony's villa.

"Hi, Mr. Vale, welcome!"

Pepper stepped forward to greet Grandpa, and Kai was handed over to Tony to entertain.

"Merry Christmas, Vale!"

"Oh, Tony, Merry Christmas!"

After saying hello, Kai noticed that Tony's face looked a little strange, so he asked:

"Tony, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little unwell?"

"Oh, it's okay. I just didn't sleep well yesterday. It's nothing."

At this time, Kai took out the things Grandpa asked him to bring from the car, including Christmas gifts and gifts for first visits.

When Pepper saw the gift, she was polite, but Grandpa said:

"This is my first time visiting you. How can I come empty-handed?"

Then everyone went into the living room, and Yinsen was busy decorating the Christmas tree and some decorations. When he saw Kai and Grandpa coming, he quickly went up to greet them, and then Kai and Tony helped Yinsen and quickly finished decorating various locations.

At this time, Yinsen asked Kai:

"Lee, why don't I see Dr. Banner? Isn't he going to come over?"

Kai answered him while wrapping a gift and hanging it on the Christmas tree:

"Banner and Samuel are immersed in their research and can't extricate themselves, so they asked me to wait until almost noon to pick them up."

It turned out that when the manor was completely cleaned up, Kai had already invited Tony, Yinsen, and others to visit the manor and let them each choose a room.

It was at that time that Tony and Yinsen learned that Samuel was also conducting research with Kai, and that Kai's goal was to create a new serum.

So it's not surprising that Yinsen asked about Banner and Samuel at this time.

When Yinsen heard Kai say that they were so obsessed with their research that they didn't want to waste any time, he admired their spirit.

After a busy morning, several people finally decorated Tony's big villa. Kai was too tired to talk. If he didn't want to expose his magic in front of Grandpa, he would have picked up the magic wand and solved the problem in a few seconds.

Instead of running up and down the villa like now, getting very tired.

"It seems that big villas also have their downsides." Kai complained.

Then at noon, when it was almost time for dinner, Kai took advantage of Grandpa's inattention and went to the yard to pick up Banner and Samuel.

"Banner, Samuel, you're here. Now everyone is here. We can prepare to eat!"

When they arrived at the restaurant, Pepper said to Grandpa:

"Today is the first time I've seen such a lively Christmas in such a long time in the villa!"

Grandpa smiled and said, "It's good to be lively, it's good to be lively!"

Then everyone sat down at the dining table, where several roasted turkeys were already placed!

Everyone was eating and talking happily, and they also clinked glasses and drank a little wine.

After that, they finished their meal, gave each other gifts, and spent Christmas happily.

Before leaving, Kai noticed that Tony didn't say much but seemed absent-minded.

So Kai began to wonder if Tony had encountered any problems.

After thinking about it, Kai finally remembered that in the second part of the movie 'Iron Man', the plot of Tony being poisoned had already appeared at the beginning of the movie.

Kai compared the time with the present time and found the reason why Tony was in a bad mood. It should be when he learned that his target was poisoned.

However, Kai could not be sure, so he planned to observe for a while.
