Noticing Tonyâs small movements behind him, Pepper subconsciously glanced back.
Looking at Little Pepperâs suspicious gaze, Tony immediately pulled the corner of his mouth to reveal a forced smile, and shrank his hands behind him.
âTony, have you forgotten how you promised me?â
Seeing Tonyâs reaction in his eyes, Pepper couldnât help shaking his head gently, and said, âDonât lie to me anymore, deceive me.â
A series of accidents, especially Tonyâs disclosure of his address in front of the camera before, led to Killianâs attack on the villa, which gave Pepper a great impact.
âHave it?â
Hearing Pepperâs words, Tony raised his eyebrows subconsciously and touched his rough chin with a beard, âWhy donât I remember saying that.â
âTony!â
âOkay,â Tony shrugged at Pepperâs increasingly angry look. âI remember, it seems like it really happened. You know, Iâve been busy with new projects for a while now. Research, it is inevitable to forget some other things, soâŠâ
âIf only you were so concerned about Stark Industries.â
Facing Tonyâs obvious excuse, Pepper couldnât help but snorted coldly.
âIsnât this still you? You should know, Pepper, I put Stark Industries in your hands because I believe you can do it well.â
Although, I know the purpose of Tonyâs words.
But it is undeniable that with this sentence thrown out, the originally angry expression on Pepperâs face suddenly eased.
Taking another look at Tony who blinked in front of him with a âharmlessâ expression on his face, Pepper retracted his gaze and turned back to the child Bao in front of him.
As Little Chili peppers looked away, the awkward smile on Tonyâs face also subsided.
Looking at Po with a round face, he took out a Rubikâs cube-sized âtoyâ that had been prepared for a long time, and pressed the blue center on it. The Rubikâs cube quickly moved within a few seconds. Transforms into a pocket version of the armored gauntlet. Playing with the small version of the gauntlet in his hand, Tony began to make a silent threat with Pepperâs eyes behind his back.
If such a threat is placed on an ordinary child, it may really have an effect.
After all, the gauntlet in Tonyâs hand is only a simplified and small version of the steel battle suit he uses.
But there is still no denying its cool appearance, especially for a child.
Since the Great War in New York, the Avengers have not only been known to the world, but have also become objects of worship for children.
However, A Bao standing in front of Tony was no ordinary child.
It is a child who looks like a child, whose real identity is the one who is stirring up the whole New York and even the world â the mastermind behind the scenes.
With such a relationship, how could he be easily bewitched by a petty profit in Tonyâs hands.
Therefore, the **** and white eyes exchanged with the expressive Tony, and Po then straightened his small face and said to Pepper, âIâm sorry, maâam, Iâm just here to deliver food, and I didnât know that Starr was in the office just now. What is Mr. Ke doingâŠâ
âHoo~â
To be honest, the moment Po opened his mouth, Tony felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, after the previous series of contacts, he knew how much this kid in front of him could not deal with him.
However, Poâs answer immediately afterward made Tonyâs heart that he had been carrying all of a sudden drop a little.
Looking down at the small gauntlet in his hand, Tony was grateful for his adaptability.
âHowever, although I didnât hear it all, when I just came to the office, I seemed to hear that Mr. Stark was planning to go somewhere chic at night. I didnât know the specifics, because Iâll see later. When I walked in, Mr. Stark said no more.â
However, before Tonyâs heart could be completely let go, A Bao suddenly threw out such a vague answer in a twisted turn, and finally blinked his eyes and turned towards the man with a black face in front of him. Pepper asked, âBy the way, maâam, are you an employee of Mr. Starkâs company?â
âLittle devil, youâŠâ
Being slapped by A Bao, Tony opened his mouth to deny it, but his eyes immediately met Xiao Chiliâs bad face, and quickly pulled the corners of his mouth to explain, âPepper, you know, since Iâve been with you. After that, I seldom went out to those messy parties, and during this time I was so focused on research that I didnât have time for this kind of thing.â
âWho knows, you are Tony Stark, a famous **** in New York City.â
In response, Pepper twitched the corners of his mouth, his tone getting colder.
Hearing this, Tony knew that no matter what he said next, he would obviously not be able to convince Little Pepper to believe in him.
After all, what she said was the truth.
Itâs just that these titles that he was proud of in the past have now become the soft underbelly of his quarrel with Little Pepper.
Thinking of this, Tony looked fiercely at Po who was beside him.
For a while, I vaguely felt a little regret for going to provoke this little devil.
âMaâam, I seem to be leaving. Mr. Tony Stark doesnât seem to welcome me to stay here.â
Tonyâs eyes had just expressed his emotions, and Bao on the other side made a look of grievance and moved his footsteps to say.
âTony!â
Noticing the grievance on Abaoâs face, Little Pepper almost didnât even think about it and shouted to Tony.
âA Bao is just a child.â
âHeâs not an ordinary child.â
Hearing Pepperâs words, Tony couldnât help but reply.
He is now being mistreated by this child.
âDonât be afraid, Bao.â
Although, as far as the actual situation is concerned, what Tony said is the truth.
But no matter what, Poâs small round face is too deceptive, so when he heard Poâs words, Pepper spoke without hesitation, watching Tony in front of him comfort him âTony Stark doesnât welcome you, I welcome you, and from now on come whenever you want, Jarvis.â
âIâm here, Miss Pepper.â
âRegister the access rights of the building for Ah BaoâŠâ
Looking at Tony in front of him, Pepper ordered Jarvis word by word.
âJarvis!â
Hearing Pepperâs words, Tony subconsciously opened his mouth to stop it.
He had already made up his mind just now that he would give up eating shaomai in the building in order not to see this kid again. How could he allow the other party to freely enter and leave his company building at this moment?
However, the moment the words came to his lips, Tony met Pepperâs eyes, was silent for a while, and finally chose to back down.
Tonyâs compromise relieved Pepperâs original anger somewhat, and through Jarvis, he gave Po permission to enter and leave Stark Industries.
Pepper reached out and touched the otherâs small head, and said softly, âOkay, Po, from now on, you can come in anytime you want to come to Stark Industries, and you donât have to wait for takeout to come in. . However, there are some important research departments within Stark Industries, and you still have to be a little careful and try not to go there if you can.â
Although Abao was given permission to enter and exit Stark Industries, Pepper was not completely unreasonable. She asked Jarvis to arrange C-level permissions for Abao, that is, to be able to enter and exit some ordinary people in Stark Industries. Locations, offices, staff cafeterias, but more important places, such as the energy research department, require higher authority to enter.
âThank you, maâam, you are such a good person.â
Starkâs industrial access permission or something is not Poâs purpose in the first place. For him, it can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.
Nodding his little head in a serious manner, he thanked Pepper, and Po then turned his head and looked at Tony.
Or, to be more precise, what was in his hands.
âWhat, little devil?â
Aware of Poâs gaze, Tony said with a cold face and a bad tone.
Ignoring Tonyâs cold words, Po silently glanced at Tonyâs hand, slowly retracted his gaze, and said to Pepper in front of him, âMaâam, the thing in Mr. Tony Starkâs hand is what he promised before. For me, but looking at the situation now, he seems toâŠâ
âŠâŠ
âThe members of the Security Council are obviously very dissatisfied with your postponement of the âInsight Projectâ, NickâŠâ
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, inside the Tri-Curved Wing Building.
Alexander looked at Nick Fury in front of him and complained.
âBecause of your words, all our preparatory work was in vain.â
âI know.â
Faced with the complaints of his friends, Nick Fury had clearly anticipated, âDonât forget, Alexander, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the executor of the entire âInsight Projectâ, and I am well aware of the impact of the delay.â Turning his only intact one eye Sweeping the face of Alexander who is no longer young, Nick Fury continued, âBut, I know better than this, if I donât do this, I will always be uneasy, the âInsight Projectâ arrangement is too radical after all, if it canât be done. To be 100% safe, if these weapons in the universe go wrong, it will be a huge disaster for us.â
âI know your concern, Nick, and thatâs one of the reasons why Iâll also help you convince the council to postpone the plan.â
In the face of Nick Furyâs concerns revealed in his words, Alexander put on a look of support.
âBut, you should know, Nick, that there is never a 100% plan in this world. What if the arrangement of the âInsight Planâ has never been able to achieve what you hoped?â
The moment he said this, Alexanderâs eyes met Nick Furyâs one eye.
âThen Iâd rather stop this plan all the time.â
He and his friend looked at each other silently, and Nick Fury answered with a clear attitude.
âUntil it can do 100 percent.â
ââŠâ
In the office, the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds.
Alexander then retracted his gaze and said helplessly, âAnyway, you owe me a condition.â
âcertainly.â
In response, Nick Fury nodded and replied without hesitation.
âI heard that Steve had a tough battle in Hellâs Kitchen before.â
After getting a âsatisfiedâ reply from Nick Fury, Alexander nodded and then turned the topic to the previous battle between Captain America and the defenders against the âpacifistsâ and Kim Bin in Hellâs Kitchen.
As a member of the Security Council and the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander has the authority second only to Nick Fury in S.H.I.E.L.D., so he naturally knows what the Avengers have encountered in Hellâs Kitchen.
âIn fact, not only the captain, but Tony Stark was also involved in that battle.â
After the hellish battle in Hellâs Kitchen, S.H.I.E.L.D. collected the remains of âpacifistâ robots, which were badly damaged, but Nick Fury still drew some clues from them.â From Tony Starkâs According to the report, the other party has amazing technological strength, and its level is almost no less than Tony Stark himself, and maybe even higher.â
âBeyond Tony Stark?â
For the success of S.H.I.E.L.D.âs research on the âpacifistâ robot, Alexander also mastered all of it through the spy of Hydra.
However, hearing Nick Fury say that the other partyâs technology level may be higher than Iron Man, Alexander couldnât help but be surprised.
Tony Stark has always been the target of Hydraâs vigilance, and it is such a dangerous existence, but now there has been a mysterious existence no less than Tony Stark.
âWhat do you think of our superhero Iron Man about this?â
Although he was surprised inside, on the surface Alexander still maintained his unchanged expression.
âObviously itâs not very good. After the battle in Hellâs Kitchen, he also collected a large number of âpacifistâ robot wreckage, obviously with his own purpose.â
âIn any case, the appearance of these robots also shows that there are still many threats we donât know about in this world~www.mtlnovel.com~ For example, this mysterious existence that creates âpacifistsâ is that we must be vigilant , which is also the original intention of the âInsight Projectâ, to kill everything in the cradle.â
After some conversation, Alexander turned the topic back to the âInsight Projectâ.
âYeah, strangle everything to the cradle.â
Nick Fury silently repeated Alexanderâs words and suddenly said, âSpeaking of which, how many years have we known each other, Alexander?â
âHow many years?â
He was a little taken aback by Nick Furyâs question, and after thinking about it, Alexander replied, âIt must have been nearly twenty years, right?â
âTwenty years is a long time.â
Hearing Alexanderâs answer, Nick Fury couldnât help but sigh.
âyes.â
Following Nick Furyâs sigh, Alexander also matched with an expression of reminiscence.
âWhen I first met you, you even had two eyes.â
âI also miss seeing things with two eyes.â
Hearing Alexanderâs words, Nick Fury reached out and touched his eyes, which were covered by the blindfold.
In the office, the expressions of the two of them were reminiscent, but they seemed to be mixed with some inexplicable atmosphere.
