1 New Life & New Wife

In the heart of Boston sits a splendid private mansion with grounds stretching as far as the eye can see.

Seated upon a plush sofa in from of the splendid mansion, Liam savored the rich aroma of his cigar as he gazed out the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the snow gently blanket the landscape. A subtle smirk played at the corners of his lips.

Fortune had smiled upon him when a twist of fate transported him from his previous life into the Marvel Universe. Unlike the tales spun in webnovels, his arrival was devoid of grand systems, high-tech gadgets, or extraordinary powers at first.

Yet his luck changed when he met his dear wife Emma, the White Queen. The one who is notorious for her near-destruction of the X-Men.

However, in her current state, Emma had yet to fully awaken all her mutant abilities. She remained a woman of allure—curvaceous, enigmatic, and possessing an air of aloofness.

In Boston, Emma's lineage boasted considerable influence, courtesy of her father, hailed as the "richest man in Boston."

The sprawling 500-acres manor bestowed upon Liam by Emma's father served as a testament to their union.

"It's time for dinner, sir," announced a young nanny, her maid's attire adding a touch of elegance as she approached Liam with a respectful bow.

"Excellent," Liam acknowledged with a nod, extinguishing his cigar before making his way to the dining area.

Seated at the table, Emma exuded an aura of sensuality in her silky pajamas, her slender legs elegantly crossed as she savored a succulent steak.

As Liam joined her, she arched a delicate eyebrow, her smile bewitching as she inquired, "How did you sleep last night?"

"Remarkably well," Liam responded, his gaze openly admiring. "Though, I dare say, it would have been infinitely better had you been by my side."

Upon hearing this, Emma couldn't help but roll her eyes, shooting Liam a look.

"Quit stalling and eat your meal," she commanded, though her actions contradicted her words as she delicately placed a piece of steak onto Liam's plate.

"Are you heading to the recording site today? Do you need my father to arrange some bodyguards for you?" Despite her chilly tone, there was warmth in Emma's voice as she inquired.

Liam smirked, sensing the underlying affection. He sauntered over to Emma, wrapping his arms around her waist before replying with a grin, "Underestimating your husband, are we? It's just the trailer announcement for 'Die Hard.' Nothing to break a sweat over."

"When will you be back? I want you to accompany me to the boardroom," she stated casually, her captivating blue eyes fixed on him.

"Probably... around four in the evening," Liam estimated with a smile.

.....

But about that "Die Hard" trailer...

As a transmigrator, he couldn't just sit around and do nothing. So he replicated every good movie perfectly from his previous life's memories?

This led to him becoming a sensation after writing, directing and producing "The Expendables 1, 2 & 3" and other such movies.

.....

"I'll swing by the hospital first to check on mother," he added, aware of Emma's mother's delicate condition.

As Emma was starting to go to the bedroom Liam pulled her into his embrace, his gaze softening as he looked at her.

"Hold on—" He said while holding her.

"What's this about?" she questioned, caught off guard.

And then their lips met.

"Okay, that's enough," Liam grinned, releasing Emma from his hold after a while.

Her cheeks flushed, an uncommon sight, adding to her allure as she hastily excused herself to change.

Emma had suffered Liam's mischievous countless times before. With anyone else, she'd be ready to retaliate fiercely. But with him, she found herself unable to muster that resistance.

.....

Emma born as the daughter of the city's wealthiest man, her lineage alone thrusts her into the spotlight of Boston's elite society. Yet, her status goes beyond mere inheritance.

As the heiress to the largest trading empire in the country, she embodies the pinnacle of influence and affluence within the city's confines.

However, her journey to prominence is marked by adversity. Cast aside by her own family due to her mutant nature, Emma endured a childhood marred by abandonment and confinement.

Imprisoned within the confines of a ward controlled by her adoptive mother, she grappled with her mutant abilities, particularly the early manifestation of telepathy, which inundated her young mind with enigmatic visions.

It wasn't until the unexpected arrival of Liam that her fate took a dramatic turn. With Liam's arrival, her dormant diamond ability awakened, granting her the means to break free from her captivity.

However, her newfound freedom came at a cost, as she found herself pursued relentlessly, her strength waning until Liam intervened, rescuing her from the brink of exhaustion.

From that moment on, Emma's icy demeanor gradually thawed in the warmth of Liam's unorthodox charm. Despite initial clashes and the unconventional advances of Liam, she found herself drawn to him.

As their bond deepened over time, Emma found herself navigating unfamiliar territory, torn between her ingrained sense of control and the burgeoning dependence she felt towards Liam.

Accustomed to wielding power through coercion or intimidation, she now grappled with the vulnerability of allowing someone else to hold sway over her heart.

.....

After his wife left, Liam also changed into a suit and drove a Bugatti to the city center.

As a top director and producer it's natural that Liam wouldn't limit himself to just making the film "Die Hard."

In his previous life, there wasn't a movie he hadn't seen. From "Men in Black" series to "Mission Impossible" series and "Fast and Furious" franchise, he had watched countless films.

He believes that by directing and producing these popular movies one by one, he could potentially become the richest man in the United States, if not the world.

Therefore, Liam's initial plan in this new world is to surpass even the renowned director, Mr. Spielberg.

With that goal in mind, he anticipates it'll be a breeze to amass trillions and ascend to the upper echelons of society.

Today, Liam visited a film company to promote the trailer of "Die Hard," hoping to rake in around one billion for this production.

His intention is to invest a large amount of it into Emma's business.

It's not that Emma's family business lacks funds, but because ever since Liam met Emma, his System had suddenly awakened.

For every movie he makes, the System rewards him with various items from within the film, like the main character's pistol from "Die Hard," Keanu Reeves' dog, glasses from "Men in Black," cars from "Fast and Furious," and even the helicopter from "Taken" etc.

But the most powerful one among them was the template of Stephen Wolf, who had defeated Darksield.
