Steve on the stage didn't speak, looking at the tall young man standing behind the soldiers, he was really ashamed at the massive difference of respect between them.
He suddenly remembered the sunset after Kyle won the marksmanship test at the training base.
At that time, he remembered the seemingly 'kind' words Kyle said to him: "Steve, when you get stronger, I will come back so we can shake hands as I congratulate you personally."
Kyle's arrival instantly became the focus of the meeting.
The Youngest Second Lieutenant Officer and an American War-Hero, these titles were enough for everyone to respect him, escalating it into a hot topic with gossip.
And now, that rumored person was more admired than any idol, dancer, or singer now.
Steve took advantage of this to leave backstage, replacing himself with a group of dancers wearing short skirts to fill the stage.
As the soldiers in the square were in high spirits, they looked around, trying to find Kyle who had mysteriously disappeared from the meeting.
At this moment, backstage of the stage.
"Steve."
"Kyle!"
Ignoring the strange eyes of the backstage staff, the two handsome young men hugged like bears laughing loudly. This is a kind gesture garnered strange glances.
Kyle was just smiling, and Steve was so excited that he couldn't help being cheerful, he was happier than a young child on Christmas day. Kyle was also smiling and hugging but for different reasons.
"Don't push so hard, my gunshot wound on my left shoulder hasn't fully healed yet."
Kyle scolded with a smile, looked at the tall and mighty Steve in front of him, he stretched out his fist and beat his sturdy chest, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be much taller than before, we are pretty identical in height now."
Kyle is 192cm, and Steve is now 190cm; still Kyle was slightly taller.
"This is all the effect of the super soldier serum. I am also much stronger than I look now." Steve didn't hide it at all, sadness appeared on his righteous face, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the doctor was killed by someone from Hydra. The organization's spy was shot and killed, but the only super soldier serum sample was destroyed, otherwise..."
Steve began to back away as he told the tragic story. He looked down in shame when remembering, but then looked back up when he thought about his future.
"It's okay." Kyle shrugged and said indifferently, "Even if there is no super soldier serum, I wouldn't care."
"Still its nice to see you still approaching me, after all that has happened you came right to me." Steve said with a smile as he looked at Kyle coming closer to him.
'I can't steal the shit out of you without getting closer.' Kyle thought with a smile as he started thinking about extraction. He had already formulated a plan when he arrived to grab Steve's cards.
Kyle did not waste time and investigated the new body of Steve.
"Right. Kyle, how has it been on the battlefield?" Steve's acute eyes fell on Kyle's badge. The officer's uniform was a long-sleeved coat, but his badge showed that he was not just a normal officer.
Kyle raised his gaze slightly and gave a random response, "Well, it certainly hasn't been Muda."
"Muda! Is that Italian or something?" Steve's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Whatever, I have heard of your accomplishments and wanted to know about it in more detail."
For Steve, a patriotic war madman full of hope and justice, he has not yet been on the battlefield with real guns and live ammunition, which made him excited to learn more about Kyle.
This was exactly what Kyle wanted, so he readily agreed, "No problem, let's find a place to have lunch so I can get a better look at you as I tell my stories."
After that, Kyle's eyes shifted to Carter behind Steve.
That mature woman who has always kept her cool and glamorous as always, is like a rose with thorns, with an aura that is incomparable to strangers.
Kyle joked: "Agent Carter is also here. That's just great, let's go to lunch together, I have said for a long time that I will repay you for your help."
Carter wanted to refuse coldly, but for some reason, she said hesitantly, "Then, let's go."
Kyle was a little surprised for a while, thinking that someone as cold as Carter would definitely refuse a little teasing. He barely cared about her enough to remember her backstory.
For now he will just continue going with the flow.
Ten minutes later, the cafeteria of the training base.
On the table in the center area, Kyle sat on one side, and Steve and Carter sat side by side on the other side. It seemed they had gotten close during their time together.
It was a three-person dinner with a quirky atmosphere.
"That... Hey Kyle, aren't we here to eat?" Steve looked at the hotpot on his plate hesitantly. He didn't dislike it, but was thinking about the people next to and in front of him.
Inviting Carter to lunch in the soldier's cafeteria is probably something only Kyle has the balls for.
"If you want to go to any restaurant for dinner, you will need to get on a plane to eat there." Kyle smiled and said, "What? Didn't you eat here often before? "
"I don't mind it, but." Steve gestured obscurely, and Carter was silent next to him.
"Oh, WOW. Chef, add a big juicy drumstick for our beautiful Agent Carter!" Kyle shouted directly to the chef in the cafeteria.
Steve: "..."
Carter was also silent for a while before he began to eat the hotpot lunch on the plate with a spoon.
Steve just took a few bites when he couldn't help but say: "Kyle, tell me about the counterattack campaign. I heard that due to incorrect intelligence, you faced a large German base with only a hundred soldiers. "
"That's right. At that time, as a brand-new corporal, I led a hundred men with another sergeant and completed the raid mission..." Kyle started talking about the battle, but his mind secretly locked on Steve who was in front of him again.
"Still you became stronger Steve, so now I must shake your hand to congratulate you like I said I would do." Kyle changed the conversation and offered his hand to Steve. He accepted the handshake and couldn't help but smile again with Kyle.
'You are in my range! Time to check Steve's cards again with a better look.'
In an instant, only Kyle became visible, with hundreds of cards of different colors jumping out from the back of Steve's head, quickly floating and spinning beside him.
[Proficiency in Car Driving], [Proficiency in English], [Proficiency in Military Boxing and Fighting], [Proficiency in Pistol], [Proficiency in Sniper Rifle], [Proficiency in True Shield Strike]...
The white and green cards were densely packed into Kyle's field of vision.
Compared with two weeks ago, when he only had four white ability cards, Steve at this time was a totally new American!
Of course, the number of cards itself is not the point. Kyle was more focused on something else which caused him to salivate a bit.
Kyle's eyes quickly fell on the top of Steve's head, where a dark blue ability card was suspended, the light emitted easily overshadowed the other hundreds of ability cards.

- 'Do you wish to extract [Super Soldier]?'
'This is a Unique Ability Card!' Kyle's heart filled with uncontrollable excitement.
'This ability basically boosts the potential of a human and it comes with extra skills. It is perfect for me!'
Without hesitation, Kyle directly chose to extract, but the next moment, an unprecedented warning sounded suddenly in his mind that he almost forgot about.
- 'Warning! This card extraction takes 1 Hour!'
- 'Warning! This Unique Ability Card will change the body forever.'
- 'Warning! Once extracted, this Unique Ability Card cannot be Sacrificed later, and will stay in {Card Space} forever under normal circumstances.'
Kyle's face changed, the three card-extraction warning messages were carving like a knife deep into his heart. He already looked at the last part and noticed the distance requirement before backstage, but not the warnings that he is seeing now.
"Kyle, what's wrong with you?" Steve asked worriedly when Kyle stopped talking suddenly.
Carter also stared straight at Kyle with concern.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the tragic scene of when I was shot on the battlefield." Kyle shook his head and continued to describe the unfinished battle scene verbally.
He didn't think about it too much, his mind made a quick decision.
'Extract [Super Soldier] from Captain America!'
