Marvel's Speedster

After solving the biggest doubt in his heart, Ross couldn't help but relax. At the moment, he suddenly found that he had nothing to do, and it happened that the laboratory didn't have any important affairs to deal with.

So he took Pepper, who hadn't had a vacation for nearly three months, back to Manhattan to relax.

It was a sunny day, the sky was blue, traffic was flowing on the highway, and people were coming and going on both sides of the street. Ross and Pepper put on casual jackets, dressed up a bit, and put on sunglasses. They walked side by side on the street Don't worry about being disturbed by paparazzi reporters who come to hear the news.

"Why didn't you call Gwen and Mary Jane to come together, and invited me alone?" Walking on the street, Pepper asked casually, her tone was a little weird, but it was more of a joke.

"They have their own business, you need to rest." Ross smiled and put his arms around her waist, and walked slowly by the side of the road with Pepper in his arms.

For this level of intimacy, Pepper struggled a little, and let him go.

"Since you entered the laboratory, you haven't relaxed well. Seeing your haggard face makes me feel bad. I can't bear to let my little pepper lie tired on the bed." Ross rubbed Pepper gently with his hand, his The action is very skillful, and Pepper and Ross are getting closer and closer without knowing it.

I have to say that at the moment the two of them seem to be a very good match.

After putting on the sunglasses, Ross's young face suddenly matured a lot, and Pepper's tall figure was not obtrusive when leaning against him. If it was Tony Stark, then the poor Pepper would not even be embarrassed to wear high heels, otherwise It will definitely make the Iron Man without armor quite small.

Feeling this, although Pepper didn't want to compare them, he felt more and more grateful in his heart.

But she still had to argue a few words.

"Should I say thank you boss, say something like 'Thank you Mr. Byrne for giving me the opportunity to work for you, I will definitely work harder in the future'?" Pepper asked narrowly

"Don't be so polite, just show it with actions." Ross blinked and said, the hand that was stroking Pepper's back slid down the spine.

"Ross, don't make trouble!" Pepper blushed and exclaimed, quickly raised her upper body and stood up, while looking around with a guilty conscience.

Definitely no one would recognize them at this time, and Ross deliberately avoided the tabloid reporters.

After fighting with the angry Pepper for a while, the two passed Eighth Avenue to a restaurant on Hudson Street. Ross had already reserved a table in advance, and they were going to have lunch here.

"This restaurant is still special." After looking inside and out, Pepper commented sincerely.

This is indeed a special Japanese restaurant, there are many sushi restaurants in New York, it is not difficult to find a good Japanese sushi restaurant, but this ninja-themed restaurant has a unique style - a dark underground restaurant Covering an area of ​​6,000 square feet, there are many places for these waiters in black ninja costumes to hide, watching these elusive Japanese women rushing from fake rocks or tree trunks, carrying Katana to serve sushi and steak to customers Such food is also a kind of fresh feeling.

Definitely, there is also a nude restaurant not far away, which is also very distinctive. Customers take off their clothes and spend dozens of dollars to eat naked. It must be more impressive, but that is what Stark will do, and Ross is not willing to bring it. My own woman goes to that kind of place.

The style of the restaurant is unique, and the food is not as popular as the service, but most people who eat here are just looking for a novel experience, and Ross is the same.

The restaurant's signature dish for two was served, and a few candles illuminated the quiet compartment, and they chatted while tasting by the bright candlelight.

"Have you talked to Susan recently?" Pepper asked casually in the middle.

Ross shook his head.

The Invisible Woman has attracted a lot of attention during this period, and that was the aftermath of the battle between Ross and Magneto. Not only the other three of the Fantastic Four were curious about her relationship with Speed, agents such as S.H.I.E.L.D even tried their best to get her out of it. Find a breakthrough in your body.

Fortunately, although Susan looks like a silly girl and doesn't seem to have too much scheming, she is actually quite smart. When she shuts her mouth and pretends to know nothing, no one can do anything about her for a while.

However, she and the laboratory are not completely unrelated. In order to help the stone man change the embarrassing situation and let him win his wife's heart back, Susan persuaded her companions to send blood samples from the Fantastic Four. After a while, Ross Will give them some advice for Reid to consider.

Speaking of research, Pepper thought of another thing, about Samuel Stern and the new company.

Since moving to East 97th Street, Samuel has been constantly moving, spent nearly a third of Ross's four million investment in a few days, and frequently seconded the human resources of the Watcher Company.

According to what Pepper learned, he didn't use the money for research at all, but diverted it for unknown purposes, part of it was remitted to a remote country in South America, and the other part was used to hire some detective agencies, which seemed to be investigating Who's identity.

"Will he cause us trouble?" Pepper was a little worried.

Now that she knew who Ross was dealing with, there were some shady parts of the laboratory's business, and she didn't want these things to be exposed. Although every big company hides ulterior motives, Advanced Labs is an emerging force, not a conglomerate with strong wealth and a long history like Stark Industries. Once something goes wrong in a certain link, it will be caught by competitors , is likely to produce a domino effect suddenly collapse down.

Pepper's feeling about the laboratory is different from the previous company. When she arrived at Stark Industries, it was already a world-leading large company. She has been working as a handyman all along, although she can use Tony's authorization to handle some business aspects. affairs, but after all, the status is embarrassing, and there is no self-confidence at all.

After coming to Ross, she watched the laboratory grow day by day. Pepper personally helped the crumbling enterprise to become more and more stable. She has enough power to handle all aspects of affairs, and the laboratory Grow together and treat it like your own child. Seeing the rapid development of the laboratory business, Pepper's inner sense of accomplishment is self-evident, which also makes her management ability gradually attract the attention of the outside world. So far, she has been on the cover of magazines several times, and is called the most surprising surprise of the year by the business community Nova, so it can't help that she doesn't care about these things.

...asking for flowers...

But Ross already had plans.

He did not directly inject money into the new company chaired by Samuel, but adopted a more tortuous method, remitting the money after repeated turnover through offshore accounts several times, and only held shares indirectly. It's more like the ambitious Dr. Stern got an investment from an unknown source to start his own business, and the laboratory took the opportunity to sell the old instruments and the old laboratory for a good price.

So whatever Samuel did, Ross wasn't too worried.

Even if the old laboratory site on East 97th Street was smashed to pieces by the green titan, there would be huge compensation from the insurance company to make up for the loss.

"It's really cunning." After hearing his explanation, Pepper shook his head and was speechless.

"Why talk about work all the time, you need to relax, stay away from work, stay away from troubles, now it's just the two of us, why not enjoy life?" Ross suggested, hugging Pepper sideways from behind.

The two hugged each other intimately, and when Little Pepper's eyes were half closed, Ross suddenly raised his head sensitively from her embrace.

There is a little movement outside.

After a few seconds, Pepper was awakened by gunshots outside, as if a robber had rushed in.

Soon after, a few black men wearing hoods walked through the corridor with guns.

"Robbery!" The leading robber brandished a pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling, scaring most of the guests to tremble. "Listen, everyone, it's robbery time. Sit in your seat and don't leave. Take out your wallet and put it on the table. Be obedient if you don't want to die."

The bandit leader was followed by a few African-American men with dreadlocks and guns. They all looked very powerful and strong. One of them was holding a pocket next to the table to collect the wallet. Most of the people in front did so honestly, and occasionally If someone complains a few words, he will be picked out by the aggressive thugs and punched.

This street is a fringe area where Asians gather. Black or white gangsters like to make trouble in this kind of place. Usually, when encountering such violent cases, most of the citizens will not resist, so as to avoid angering the mob and causing death.

"Have you discovered the benefits of superhero now?" Pepper teased, and she took the opportunity to cover her skirt and get out of Ross's arms.

"I'm starting to miss Spider-man, or whoever it is, just get rid of those bastards."

Ross shrugged and tossed a few bills on the table.

His purse was given by Gwen, definitely can't let these guys take it.

But these guys are not worth his hands, I hope they will be wise enough to take the money and leave.

Unfortunately, the other party did not agree with Ross' point of view.

"Purse, buddy, I want the whole purse, and that lady's jewelry, get it out quickly, don't ask for trouble."

Kicking away a chair, the gangster who took the bag yelled in dissatisfaction.

He was about to draw his gun to threaten, when he suddenly saw the appearance of the two people in the compartment, his expression froze.

After entering the restaurant, Ross and Pepper had already taken off their sunglasses, and At the moment was just recognized by that person.

"Hey boss, there are two big fish."

The gangster wiped the corner of his mouth, and shouted excitedly. .
