Gwen Spider: I'm from Prototype

Chapter 165 It's Just a Dance Why Refused?
"Hey, take it easy, I've calmed down the board, Tony, you should know what to say and what not to say in this situation."

Obi patted Tony Stark on the shoulder lightly and said to him.

"Relax, I know what I'm doing."

He returned a reassuring look to Obi.

"Since that weird and very controversial press conference, this is the first time I've said what I think in public."

Standing on the stage, Tony Stark delivered a speech to the guests present.

"The reporters said I had PTSD. They were wrong. At least that wasn't accurate. I knew my situation. I just wanted to make some changes. After going through such a big change, I'm very proud of myself. There was a certain doubt in life, and I started to think about whether what I had been doing before was the right thing to do.”

He looked around the crowd and said: "I saw the weapons I made, trampling on this world, maybe I was on the wrong path from the beginning, so I made a weapon to close department's decision."

"It was a tough decision for me, but I had to do it"

Listening to Tony Stark's speech on the stage, all the guests in the audience started talking.

Obi, who originally told him not to talk nonsense, heard that Tony Stark was still so stubborn, and immediately went to the stage to stop him from speaking.

"Hey Tony, you need to calm down."

Obie came up and held down Tony's microphone.

The speech that attracted everyone's attention didn't last long. After Tony Stark came to the stage and delivered a sincere speech, he was dragged off the stage by Obi.

Tony Stark himself didn't insist. After he finished what he wanted to say, he joined the carnival party at the dinner.

Now that the protagonist is not in the center of the stage, the social entertainment among the rich and famous is more direct and lively.

Peter looked at Tony Stark who was accosted by the playgirl, and shook his head slightly.

Compared with the serious atmosphere just now, this well-prepared carnival still made Tony Stark return to some playfulness.

It seems that he is still the unruly playboy who likes to chase after beauty.

On the circular staircase, as far as the eye can see are pairs of long legs wrapped in mesh stockings. Those sexy girls in miniskirts or hot pants, twisting and dancing to the dynamic music, attracted the attention of many men present.

"According to my rough calculation, Tony, you haven't lived a normal life for more than 35 days—unless when you were kidnapped by terrorists, there happened to be a lady who was kidnapped with you."

Obi held a cigar in one hand while putting his arm around Tony and said.

Tony Stark's bodyguard, Happy, was standing next to the two of them holding a glass of wine.

After hearing Obi's words, his expression was a little embarrassed.

"I have called the regular customers of those nightclubs, famous New York models and cover girls for you. If you want, you can have a good chat with them and relax yourself. Your spirit is so tense that My mind is starting to get confused."

Seeing Obi's "I've got it all ready for you" expression, Tony shrugged, "I don't think I need this right now."

At present, he has no interest in carnival. He feels that not only is he dying, but the Stark Group urgently needs someone to save him.

"I may be a little different from the Tony Stark of the past."

he thought inwardly.

"Did you call that guy over there?"

Tony Stark leaned on the bar counter, ordered a gin cocktail, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw Peter in the distance.

He looked at Peter and asked Obi.

When Obi saw Peter, his expression was slightly astonished.

"No, no, maybe you should ask your bodyguard."

Obi said meaningfully.

"Happy?"

Tony Stark asked his bodyguard in surprise, "Did you invite him?"

"Cough cough."

Happy coughed and whispered to him, "Miss Pepper invited you?"

"Pepper?"

Tony Stark became more and more puzzled, "What does this have to do with Pepper?"

A sense of crisis faintly rose in his heart.

The first time I saw that kid was when he struck up a conversation with Little Pepper. During the time he was away, something happened to the two of them that he didn't know about.

"I'm going to send you to the city university to stand guard, Happy, and you didn't even tell me!"

Tony Stark felt that he had been hurt, and suddenly became furious.

My bodyguard didn't even tell me the first time.

"I wanted to do that, but I didn't find the right opportunity."

Happy quickly defended himself.

"No, no, you should have told me as soon as I showed up that we've got to have this close communication, Happy."

After complaining to his bodyguard, Tony Stark began to search for Pepper.

After seeing the other party walk over to talk to Peter Parker, his face became even more stinky.

"I'll be back in a minute."

After saying hello to Obi, Tony Stark buttoned his open suit and walked towards Peter and Pepper who were talking.

There was a heavy shadow over his head, and it was better for Pepper to stay as far away from the guy Jarvis judged as a suspected dangerous person.

…………

On the other side, Pepper expressed that he wanted to chat with Peter.

Although Gwen was very upset, it seemed that the two were talking about business, so they left space for the two of them in a considerate manner.

"Looks like we're alumni, I was a midtown high school graduate before going to Boston University."

Little Pepper didn't talk about business directly, but talked about the connection between the two.

Peter was slightly taken aback. He didn't know that the other party was still a former alumnus.

"Is Mrs. Bell still as strict as that? Fortunately, my Latin course was not bad... Mrs. Bell also formed a club for Latin history lovers, and I also participated in it, but I have not passed the entrance test. My cousin directly invited me, and I actually served as interim chair for a semester after he graduated."

Through talking, Little Pepper easily brought the relationship between the two closer.

And she talked about the old things of Midtown High School, such as the serious and rigid dean, the mysterious Latin history club and so on.

Peter listened to the other party talking about these things, did not speak, just listened quietly.

"It looks like Miss Pepper has a lot of extracurriculars?"

Peter asked casually while tasting the apple brandy in his hand.

It seems that this career woman is not such a boring person.

Peter thought to himself.

"There are actually a lot of extracurricular and extracurricular activities, such as rowing, horse riding, rugby and various fan clubs, mainly depends on which aspect you are interested in... I remember that I joined a club for a while. Small group of occultists."

When Little Pepper mentioned his previous middle school career, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, after the spring prom incident at Midtown High, those activities have dropped off quite a bit."

After Peter replied, he asked her, "Miss Pepper, is there anything you want to ask me? I think you seem to be hesitant."

He asked the other party straight to the point.

"I"

Pepper hesitated for a moment, and asked Peter: "I want to ask about the 'nightmare'."

"Nightmare?"

Peter twitched his eyebrows.

"Yes, even though it looked very unbelievable, that dream was very vivid to me. I dreamed that Tony died, and then I was chased by a group of people, and you suddenly appeared, and then defeated the monster called 'Nightmare', Is this true?"

She asked Peter confused.

"It's just a dream. The dream dimension is caused by your strong emotions. It's not real."

Peter shook his head without admitting it.

"Your boss is here, and it looks like he doesn't want us to communicate."

Peter glanced at Tony Stark, who was approaching with a very unhappy expression, and frowned slightly.

He shook his head, finished the glass of apple brandy, got up and walked towards Gwen, passing the striding figure.

On the way, Peter deliberately raised a slightly provocative smile, just like a normal young man, appearing quite arrogant.

Tony Stark turned his head, and the inexplicable hostility in his heart became more and more intense.

"I thought you were dancing on the dance floor and the dress looked good."

Looking at the exquisitely dressed Pepper, Tony Stark coughed and said.

"Really? Birthday present, you gave it."

"Hmm, I have good eyesight."

Tony Stark asked her, "Can I invite you to dance, Pepper."

"I'm in a bit of a mess right now and I forgot to put on my deodorant, so...sorry."

Little Pepper said that he doesn't want to dance now.

"Because of that kid just now?"

Tony asked angrily.

"I have my own life and privacy, Tony! I'm glad you're back safe and sound, but I hope you don't speak in this tone, you have to restrain yourself."

Little Pepper said angrily.

"Sorry, Pepper, I don't know what happened in my absence, but I think maybe our relationship, shouldn't have changed."

"I haven't changed anything, but you, Tony, you have changed."

She sighed slightly, "Sorry, I just don't want to see those strange eyes, the eyes of my colleagues."

Tony didn't quite understand the subordinate's words, "I don't think you're objective enough, they're just human, they're just dancing"

"No, it's just dancing, you don't understand, because you are you, everyone knows what kind of person you are, how you treat women, but it doesn't matter, what matters is that you are my boss, and I talk to you You dance, make me feel"

"That's nothing."

"Listen to me, Tony, I have experienced a lot during your absence, so bizarre that even if I say it, you will not believe it. You need to deal with these things after you come back. I...I have to deal with myself these bad things."

She said helplessly to Tony.

"I think I have to go."

Seeing Pepper leaving, Tony Stark frowned, but he was helpless.

The more time he spent back with his family and friends, the more he felt that something had changed.

He was stunned in place, and suddenly found that pursuing the path he wanted to take was not as easy as he imagined.
