After hanging up Laura's communication, Russell couldn't help but feel expectant.

However, despite the expectations, Russell himself remained calm.

He didn't want to disappoint himself because the final result exceeded expectations.

"Ha!" Russell left the laboratory with a smile.

Going back to his room, taking out a black box, opening it, a gold coin appears in front of Russell.

"Curse?" Russell stroked the lines on the gold coins with his fingers, and Russell really didn't notice anything else.

"It's really like Laura said, has the curse on this thing been released?"

"So, since it has been released, what else do you need to do with this thing?"

Russell murmured in a low voice, and put the gold coins back into the box.

"Tu tuk!"

The knock on the door sounded, and Russell, who was thinking, came back to his senses.

Step towards the door and open the door.

It's Arthur.

"What's wrong? Arthur?"

Arthur said lightly: "It's time to prepare, Master."

"Preparation?" Russell was stunned.

"Didn't Bruce Wayne say he was visiting today two days ago?" Arthur reminded.

Russell patted his forehead and said, "I forgot if you don't say it, it's today."

"Thank you, Arthur."

Arthur glanced at Russell expressionlessly and said, "Young Master, go and change your clothes, he should be here soon."

After the words came, Arthur turned and left.

...

This is Bruce Wayne's first visit to Bloom's Old House.

This time I came alone, of course, for the idea that suddenly appeared when I was solving the S alias in Gotham City.

He wants to form a squad.

A squad similar to the Avengers.

"Mr. Bruce."

Just as Bruce was thinking about how to get Russell to join, a stereotyped and serious voice reminded him, which made Bruce turn around.

"Arthur." Nodded slightly to the old man in front of him, and Bruce said, "I'm disturbing."

"Please come in, Mr. Bruce." Arthur made a gesture of inviting him and took Bruce to the living room of the old house, allowing him to sit down.

"Please wait, the young master will come right away." Arthur said softly and asked, "If you want tea or coffee?"

Bruce smiled gracefully and said, "Tea, thank you!"

Arthur nodded and walked out.

"Bruce!"

As soon as Arthur left, Russell walked downstairs, greeted Bruce, and sat in front of the other party under the gaze.

Russell said, "Long time no see."

Bruce nodded: "Yes, long time no see."

"Since last time, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, have you heard you went to a faraway place?"

Russell nodded and said, "It's quite far."

At this moment, a slender figure in a suit, carrying a plate, followed Arthur.

Arthur pointed at Russell and the others and said, "Go and take the thing over."

Rocky twitched the corner of her mouth, bent down and placed two cups of tea in front of Bruce and Russell.

Seeing Rocky, Bruce's eyes twitched.

If he remembers correctly, Loki is Thor's younger brother, Asgard's prince, and the so-called god in people's mouth.

But why...the plates are served here at Russell?

After Loki stood up and left with the old butler, Bruce looked at Russell with confusion and said, "How could he be here?"

Russell picked up the tea and took a sip, saying, "He was 'sent' here, of course he can't let him eat and drink for nothing."

"Save?" Bruce frowned, "Who? Thor? He won't cause you any trouble here, right?"

"That's right." Russell said indifferently: "As for causing trouble, he doesn't have the ability yet."

Put down the cup in his hand, looked up at Bruce, and smiled and said, "You are here this time, aren't you here to chat with me, what's the matter? Tell me, let's see."

Bruce looked straight, putting Loki's affairs behind his head first, and said, "You should know the Avengers that were established not long ago."

"I know." Russell nodded slightly and said, "Tony is one of them."

"Didn't he give you an invitation?"

Because of the incident of Thor's Hammer being mentioned by Bruce, after the incident of S's aliens, Tony must have known that Batman is Bruce's business.

Shaking his head, Bruce said, "I didn't agree."

"Hmm?" Russell said in confusion: "Why?"

"Not suitable, the connection between the Avengers and S.H.E.L.D. is too deep." Bruce explained, saying, "And I want to build a team, a team that has no connection with any force, but when we encounter a crisis that we cannot solve alone, we can unite and resolve the crisis."

Indeed, the involvement between the Avengers and S.H.E.L.D. is too deep. Although the Avengers are an independent team, Black Widow and Hawkeye are agents of S.H.E.L.D.

"Huh?" Russell was stunned. He didn't expect that Bruce would have such an idea after what happened last time.

Pointing at himself, Russell guessed, "So, you don't want me to join?"

Bruce smiled and looked at Russell and said, "Yes, you are the first person I invited."

"Why invite me?" Russell asked curiously.

"Because you have enough power and I have a certain level of understanding of you, from what you are doing, it's very consistent with my teammate selection."

"Who is your target besides me? Is Tony?" Russell asked curiously.

Bruce shook his head and said, "Tony is not my target, because he is already an Avengers and does not meet my criteria."

Hearing this, Russell raised his eyebrows and said, "I forgot to tell you something."

"Hmm?" Bruce raised his brow slightly.

"A few days ago, I promised the Avengers and became their honorary member."

Bruce raised his eyebrows and frowned unconsciously. He looked at Russell and asked, "Honorary member?"

"Yes." Russell smiled and said, "If this is the case, will you still invite me?"

Bruce lowered his head and sighed, "They are really fast."

After saying that, Bruce smiled on his face and said, "Since you can become an honorary member of the Avengers, then you can also become an honorary member of the team I formed, right?"

"Um?"

Bruce sat up straight and smiled, "I was worried that I wouldn't convince you to join, but Tony provided a good solution, honorary team member..."

"Hey, you have no reason to refuse now."

After the words came, Bruce looked at Russell with a smile, waiting for Russell's answer.
