Marvel's Speedster

While Ross and Tony were exchanging details, there was also a small dispute in a remote corner of the hall.

"Would you like a drink?" Pepper just approached the female reporter sitting in front of the bar, and the other party had already noticed her coming.

Wearing a black evening dress, flaxen hair pulled back, and blurred eyes, Christine Everhert stretched lazily, asked the waiter for a glass of juice, and lowered her head to drink while biting the straw.

"It's you who framed Ross and me for insider trading?" Little Pepper didn't intend to mess with the other party, and went straight to the main issue.

"Assure God, I didn't say a word. Christine waved her hands lightly, with a pure and innocent look on her face.

"It's all about men being self-righteous, and I didn't even take the pictures, it was just a serendipitous discovery. At first I just wanted to get a news thread to report to my boss, and then suddenly realized, why didn't I take advantage of this opportunity myself?27 Have you ever heard of the law of age, women will go downhill when they reach this age, and I am 28 years old this year, I want to have a better future, the ideal road planned before is to become a PR after the age of 30, for the rich People give advice in public relations, but you gave me an opportunity, and I wanted to see if I could take it.

"What opportunity, what do you want to do?" Pepper asked coldly, picked up a glass of martini from the passing bartender's tray, and poured the spicy and cold drink down her throat, which aroused her anger.

Christine turned sideways, stared at Pepper with great interest, and slowly expressed her thoughts.

"Definitely a chance to be Mrs. Stark."

Different from Pepper's angry tone, her voice was sweet and surprisingly light, falling from the sky one by one like the poisonous feathers of the harpies in fairy tales.

"I didn't mean to target you deliberately. Please don't underestimate me, Miss Potts, I don't have Tony's scientific research ability, but women don't need that kind of thing, half of my IQ can fool him around ."

Looking back at the playboy in the crowd who was arguing with Ross about 14 in the distance, Christine pointed to her forehead, then patted the bar with her hand, and smiled wildly under the surprised eyes of others.

"I've followed Tony's news and seen the women he's dated, and he has a variety of tastes - black, white, yellow; naive, smart, beautiful, capable...  ..his tastes change a lot, the only constant is himself. Tony Stark is not boyfriend material, and even if he is now, he won't be for long, maybe after playing enough, he will be with someone like People like you are together. Miss Potts, I didn't intend to make a meaningless attempt, but you gave me a chance yourself."

"If I only regard Tony as my husband, then my future life must be terrible. But if I change my thinking, I regard him as a stepping stone to enter the upper class

That's perfectly fine. He's handsome and funny, charming by any measure, and he's a billionaire, and I don't hate his alcoholism as much as you do... Come to think of it, we're just born pair. Looking back now, I was so stupid when I woke up in his beach house. That mansion was worth at least twenty-five million. I had every reason to get more, didn't I? It is compared to garbage that is about to be cleaned up. If you want me to leave early, why don't we take a look at it in a few days

Who the hell is the trash to be kicked out?"

Christine's hearty humiliation made Pepper tremble with anger, which is extremely rare in her who has always been elegant.

After venting her old jealousy, the female reporter sat up straight and stopped provoking. She didn't want to provoke her opponent too much and cause uncontrollable chaos in front of everyone. If that kind of thing really happened, it would be a big deal for her grand plan for the future. No small blow.

Just when she wanted to take the opportunity to leave, Pepper suddenly took a few deep breaths, let out a long breath, and gradually regained her sense from the anger.

Seeing the change in the opponent's demeanor, the female reporter couldn't help becoming vigilant. When the two looked at each other coldly, Tony had already finished the debate with Ross and walked over from behind Pepper.

"Girls, what are you talking about, do you want to talk to me? Many people call me a super problem expert. If you have any troubles that you can't figure out, just ask Mr. Stark." He said in a frivolous tone, and said Wanted to put an arm around Pepper's shoulder.

Strange to say, the doubts and anxieties he had been reluctant to face these days suddenly disappeared after a debate he had just had with Ross. Probably after the conversation, he admitted that Ross was a good opponent. Tony instinctively felt that the other party's character should not be so despicable, and the figure of six million was indeed insignificant compared to Stark's huge market value.

Thinking about it this way, his mood suddenly improved a lot. Now that he thought about Pepper's matter again, he couldn't help but feel amused that he would commit such a foolishness. It's so stupid for a woman to do insider trading with outsiders. It's like a young boy who has just entered the world, completely dazzled by jealousy.

But Tony felt relieved, Pepper didn't feel the same way, she turned slightly to avoid her employer's arm.

Tony was a little embarrassed that he didn't pick up the shoulder of the female secretary, and the one-liners were not picked up, but he has always had a thick skin, so it's perfectly fine to deal with this kind of situation.

"I'm sure you didn't scare my date, did you, my future executive?" He winked at Christine as he spoke, trying to dismiss her, but the female reporter sat firmly on the high seat. On the footstool, there was no intention of leaving at all.

"Executive?" Pepper repeated.

"That's right!" Tony took the opportunity to step down quickly, ignoring Christine.

"I figured out some things, I was wrong the other day, and now I need you to help me. Obaday is too old, he can't keep up with the situation, not even Ross Byrne, now I need a new executive worthy of Stark, and you are the only one I can trust most.

Tony clasped his hands together, vowed to speak of his decision, and carefully observed Pepper's reaction at the same time. Based on his understanding of the female secretary, in his mind, Pepper should be surprised, relieved, and maybe even a little annoyed at this moment. No matter which of the above expressions appears, he can easily deal with it. But after a few seconds, to his surprise, there was no expression on Pepper's face, only a shocking indifference.

Pepper's excitement was within his expectations when he said something similar in the seaside research room last time, but this time it was completely beyond Stark's expectations.

"Uh...did I say something wrong?" Tony couldn't help but ask carefully.

"Did I apologize too late? I must have been too slow. I should have thought it was a misunderstanding. I

"No, it's just that I figured it out." Pepper shook her head, feeling an indescribable exhaustion in her heart, and she, who had always been loyal, finally gave up completely this time.

If Tony had told her this decision a day earlier, if only an hour earlier, or even ten minutes earlier, now Pepper would be as pleasantly surprised as he thought he had been cleared. But someone had told her to her face not long ago that he needed Pepper very much, very much, so it was pointless for Mr. Stark to bring up similar things.

She is not for power, but for trust.

True trust can never be bought with money.

Pepper made a silent decision in her heart, and she will not look back.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Stark, but I want to resign, thank you for your care for many years, now I quit." Pepper took out a key and put it in the hands of the employer.

"Come on, Pepper." Tony looked awkwardly at the people watching the theater, and quickly chased after Pepper. "You have been silently supporting me all these years, even when I was selling weapons in the past, you were by my side, now we are entering a new era, you can't leave me behind, without you I don't even know my social security number, I Can't even tie shoelaces..."

He chased after and chattered endlessly, scolding himself in his heart. It was indeed wrong to misunderstand Pepper this time. Based on his understanding of the female secretary, it would take at least two or three days to coax her to change her mind. He is determined to leave himself.

While chasing after him to persuade him, a middle-aged man stopped Tony.

"Mr. Stark, I'm agent Phil Coulson, from the Homeland Strategic Defense Offensive and Logistic Support Agency..."

Before he finished speaking, Tony's cell phone rang suddenly. He stopped, picked it up and took a look. It was a call from the smart housekeeper J.A.R.V.I.S.

J.A.R.V.I.S is an artificial intelligence designed by himself. There is nothing particularly important, and he will never take the initiative to contact him.

Looking at the number, Tony's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately pressed the answer button.

.......I know this is an inappropriate time for you, but we need to have a good talk with you, we need a little time to sit down and get to know you face to face in Central Asia...  "

The voice of Phil Coulson next to him flowed through his ears, but Tony didn't pay attention at all, his mind was completely occupied by what J.A.R.V.I.S reported just now.

"Mr. Opadry forcibly brought people into the laboratory without authorization and took all the new engines..."

For a moment, Tony was so startled by the news that he almost jumped up. If he had been a little skeptical before, the relationship between him and Opadry has eased up again recently. He never expected this cooperation with the Stark family that has been with the Stark family for decades. Partners do this.

At this moment, many unanswered questions crossed my mind again, and the doubts I had suppressed came back again, and this time it was much deeper than before.

After ten seconds of short and intense thought, Tony soon came to his senses, and now he had more important things to do.

"What's your department called?" Tony interrupted Phil Coulson's lengthy self-introduction.

"National strategic defense attack and..." Before Phil Coulson could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party.

"Whatever department, listen now, I need your help." Tony looked back across the hall, where Pepper's figure was passing, but he couldn't care less now.

Without further words, Tony hurried away with Phil Coulson, leaving behind the inexplicable female reporter.

During this short conversation, Tony and Phil Coulson were quiet, but those who cared had already heard their words clearly.

On the dance floor, Ross was hugging Mary Jane and doing a slow dance. When Tony left, his ears quivered slightly, and he made a decision after concentrating slightly.

"It's getting late, let's go." He said softly to his girlfriend, and Mary Jane agreed meekly.

"I'm going to say goodbye to Peter and Felicia, and they should be leaving soon." She said softly, gracefully lifted the corners of her skirt and bowed slightly, and Ross cooperated with the occasion to give a male noble salute.

Mary Jane got it right, but Ross had trouble with 963 Gwen.

"Don't make trouble, Dad wants me to stay home today." The girl obviously misunderstood what Ross meant, blushing, and gave him a hard look with her big eyes. If she wasn't wearing a skirt and there was someone beside her, she I can't wait to kick him in the calf.

The matter of the three of them was hidden from their parents for so many days, but in the end they were not completely hidden. The change in the girl's expression and posture did not hide from her mother's eyes.

It was quite a headache for the Stacy couple. Before making a decision, they ordered their daughter to live at home recently.

But today Ross really didn't mean that, obviously Gwen misunderstood.

Ross was trying to persuade her when another, more difficult Stacey came over.

This is Gwen's father, George Stacey, the local police chief known for his serious and staid personality.

"That's right, Gwen has to go home and live, starting today--and, I need to talk to you sometime, Ross."

With a familiar voice neither high nor low, the chief doctor appeared.

The nasty boy did such a thing to his own daughter. Although the cheap father-in-law was not angry, he didn't seem to be very good at talking. Maybe the father-in-law and mother-in-law are naturally right

A young man who pursues his daughter has a psychological advantage, even though Ross has two lifetimes of experience, he finds it difficult to deal with it.

But time waits for no one, and this place is becoming more and more dangerous.

If the news just heard is correct, Obaday's conspiracy has now been exposed. Unless the desperate bald executive is willing to throw away all property and power, he will be caught without a fight,

Otherwise, in order to protect his own interests, he may do anything. Maybe he also regards this place as an attack target in order to find Stark.

From Ross's point of view, Obaday's best choice is to kill Tony immediately, otherwise every minute that passes, may increase more risks, even if the public

It's much better to do it under the hood than to let Tony take the initiative step by step, and lose in the end.

It's okay for the dude to get into some trouble, but Ross is absolutely unwilling to take the risk for him, and he can't even use the Ability in front of his two girlfriends and George.

But how can we convince stubborn George?

At this moment, even though Ross was experienced and full of opportunities, he couldn't find an excuse to immediately change Chief Stacey's decision.

He was racking his brains and thinking, but he still couldn't find a way, and the next moment Ross felt a warning sign in his heart.

The headlights flashed fiercely, and then the whole hall fell into darkness.

Amidst the exclamations, and with the dim light outside, the surprised guests saw a huge amount of Iron Man forcefully breaking through the window and barging in from the outside. .
