Chapter 57 I hope so
"I really don't understand what you are thinking. Do you know how many documents I have to process every day? Hundreds of documents, why do you have to drag me to attend the Monaco Grand Prix?"

"Don't be like this, beautiful boss, didn't you book this itinerary for me at the beginning? And how can the CEO of the company not show up at this time?"

Faced with the obvious mental anxiety shown by Pepper, Tony didn't try to comfort him. Instead, he didn't seem to care too much, and he still went his own way enjoying the brandy in the wine glass.

"I really regret helping you make this damn itinerary."

"Come on, my dear, it's a trip to Europe."

"..."

Leni, who was sitting on the other side of Stark's private jet, saw all of this.

In fact, she knew the purpose of Tony's trip to Europe. She knew the plot and understood Tony's physical condition, and she had already expected such a day.

Even Leni was by the side when making the itinerary plan, and Tony asked her how much time she had afterwards.

Leni gave the answer sincerely:
"If you give up using the Iron Armor, my alchemy potion is enough for you to spend the rest of your life smoothly.

But if you keep being your Iron Man, I'm afraid you won't be able to spend Christmas with Pepper this year. "

To this, Tony's answer was a long silence and a pretended calm smile.

After that, the two never talked about this matter again, but Leni knew in her heart that everything this guy is doing now is dealing with his own funeral, and the tragic death of palladium poisoning is actually worse than anyone else. clear.

It's not that they haven't tried. Tony locked himself in the basement for a week, tried all the elements in the periodic table, but still couldn't find a substitute for palladium.

"When are you going to tell her?"

There is still a long time to go on this flight. Taking advantage of the time when Pepper got up to rest, Leni sat opposite Tony.

"I have no idea……"

Tony put down his wine glass and faced the woman in front of him. It was rare for him to let go of all his burdens and not hide himself, even though the time they spent together was short.

"The matter has not reached the point of no return. I will help you find a suitable thoracic surgeon through the channel of S.H.I.E.L.D. I am also looking for an improvement plan for [Da Vinci Robot]. The problem is not unsolvable..."

Tony didn't make a sound, but took out the lighter-sized blood analyzer from his arms, and pressed the thumb of his right hand on it.

Palladium poisoning: 54%
Leni couldn't go on talking. It was only a few days since the last time he used the alchemy potion to relieve it, and the palladium poisoning in Tony's body had once again exceeded half. If this continues, it will only get worse.

Taking out a few [Remy's Aid] crystals from the void, Leni spoke softly:
"Next, you must reduce the frequency of wearing steel armor, and use an alchemy crystal as soon as possible after wearing it, or one day..."

Before Leni finished speaking, Tony took one of the crystals and slapped it on his chest.

"I know, I don't want to see that old guy so soon."

Putting the rest of the crystal and the blood analyzer into his arms, Tony leaned back on the chair and looked out the hanging window.

"Na... Natalie, is that the name? You asked her to go to Monaco in advance?"

"Well, by the way, let's take a look at her ability. It's not bad so far."

Seeing that the other party was not very interested, Leni simply took out a tea set from the void, and boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen behind.

"You recruited her because of her ability, right, because she knows Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?"

Warm the pot and wash the cup, take out the collection of Wuyi Mountain Jinjun eyebrows and soak in a pot, and stand still for a while.

"Happy is okay as a driver, but if you want to protect Pepper personally, Natalie is more suitable than him."

Noticing Leni's movements, Tony refocused his eyes on the opponent's hand under the trend of curiosity.

"She's not a good stubble."

Under Tony's puzzled gaze, Leni slowly poured out the freshly brewed tea and refilled it with hot water.

"I can tell, so let her stay with me for the time being, what do you think of her?"

The rich and warm tea fragrance gradually rose, causing Tony to move his nose.

Although he didn't understand why the other party poured out the first pot of tea, since Leni didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask.

"Brilliant, unfathomable." Leni said eight words in Chinese, which made Tony a little confused.

"What did you say? Is this Chinese?"

Pour the brewed tea into the cup, and the soft tea fragrance filled the whole space in an instant. Leni pushed the teacup to the other party and extended her hand to invite him to taste it.

"It means that she is very capable, but she also knows how to hide herself. She is a woman who is difficult for you to get into her heart."

Tony, who has never eaten pork, but has seen pigs running, picked up the tea cup and put it in front of his nose to sniff, inhaling the aroma of tea into his lungs, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? You think so? This has aroused my interest."

Tony took a sip of the tea, and then drank it in one gulp. For a Westerner like him who is not used to drinking hot water, tea is definitely a novel attempt.

"Tea can soothe the hangover and refresh you, but if you drink too much, it's easy to fall asleep, just like coffee."

Lenny refills hers and savors slowly.

"But I like drinking, not coffee."

Tony put down the teacup, without any intention of asking Leni to add more, and leaned back again.

After trying the novelty, if it doesn't suit you, then what should you do?

"I hope so."

……

two days ago -

"She really recruited you to be her personal assistant?"

Leni glanced at Natasha who was sitting in the co-pilot seat. The other party was wearing a capable lady's business attire, far more feminine than herself.

"Well, it was quite sudden, but it was within expectation."

Natasha straightened her loose hair.

"Think about it, I'm afraid that guy has been unable to walk since he saw you."

Leni still has some understanding of Tony's temperament, and this guy has only recently restrained himself when dealing with desire.

"Maybe, but didn't you say that Stark might not live long if he uses the steel suit again? That guy probably planned to let me follow Pepper Potts in the future, and protect her by the way."

Leni was a little surprised by this statement, she really didn't expect this aspect, she had read the original book, she always thought that Tony wanted Natasha to be her personal assistant in order to be able to kiss Fangze.

But after Natasha's reminder, combined with Tony's current situation, maybe this is the truth.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Let's go with the flow, there's nothing wrong with being a personal assistant, it's easier than being a spy, and it also makes it easier for me to understand Tony Stark."

"That's true, but why didn't that bastard let me do Tony's evaluation report? Shouldn't he arrange for me to go according to his past behavior?"

Natasha smiled slightly, pretending that she didn't hear Leni's impolite address to a certain Mr. Director.

"The reason is simply because you are also part of the assessment."

Hearing that, Lai Ni slammed her foot on the brake in shock, and the car behind her honked a series of horns in fright.

"What did you say?"

"Easy! Be safe!"

Natasha was a little caught off guard by the sudden stop, and hurried to appease the excited emotions of the people around her.

"This is what Nick Fury means. If you miss, you go to him, don't take me with you."

After taking a few deep breaths, Leni started the car again, "So that brat still doesn't trust me?"

"Haven't you already guessed it all?"

Natasha slowly reached out and grabbed the roof rail of the co-pilot, she was a little worried about her safety.

"Tsk, that is to say, he has long expected that I will ask you this question."

"Nick Fury is a guy who never trusts anyone, even Hill and Coulson, he never completely trusts anyone."

Leni thought about it, and felt that it was only natural. Anyone who had seen the ability of the Skrulls to imitate deformation would be suspicious of the people around them.

Coupled with the identity of the chief agent of Braised Dantou, it is reasonable for him to do this.

"Then that's what he meant when you answered that way?"

Natasha was noncommittal.

"Damn brat, sooner or later I will let him beg me, beg me to help him, sooner or later!"

Leni cursed viciously, and wrote Nick Fury again in the system's memo.

"I hope so……"
