The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 39 The Last Mysterious Man

"Oh, thank God, Tony, you are safe and sound." As soon as the plane arrived at the airport, Tony saw Maria greet him with Pepper's company, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, and she knew she hadn't slept well.

"It's okay, Mom, I'm fine." Tony hugged Maria, then looked at Pepper.

"What? Worried about me?"

"I'm just worried that I'm going to find a job again." Pepper quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and denied.

But anyone who knows understands it, and there is no need to say it clearly. Ever since Pepper became Tony's personal assistant, Maria has always regarded Pepper as her daughter-in-law.

Not only is she able to work well, she can arrange Tony's messy life in an orderly manner, but she is also very beautiful, hard-working and strong, a perfect example of a good wife!

"Okay, Tony, let's get in the car first, let's go home and talk about anything," Maria said.

"Okay, Mom, but before that... Pepper, arrange three things for me." Tony said to Pepper.

"No, you should go to the hospital first." Pepper refused. She didn't know the situation of Tony's family yet, so she was very worried about Tony's physical condition. Unlike Maria, there was no need to worry about it with Adam.

"No need, arrange three things first. The first thing is to prepare a suit of clothes for me..."

"Oh, Tony, you just got out of danger, you don't even go to the hospital and you think... well, I get it, I think you're too suffocated..."

"Stop, stop! You misunderstood, Pepper, I'm not looking for a woman, asking you to help me prepare clothes is related to the second thing, contact the major media, I want to hold a press conference." Tony saw Pepper A complex look of helplessness, heartache, contempt, etc. mixed together, immediately knew that Pepper had misunderstood, and quickly explained.

"Uh... well, I see, I'll arrange it right away." Pepper blushed pretty, if it was just the two of them, she wouldn't blush, but Maria was there too, so she would be very embarrassed.

"Well, the third thing... stop at the intersection ahead and buy me some cheeseburgers. Although it's definitely not as delicious as mom's, I really can't wait..."

……

Everything was going according to Tony's plan. The first thing he did after returning home was to directly announce the closure of the Weapons Manufacturing Department.

Howard and Maria are basically retired now, and their shares have already been adopted by Tony, which is why Tony dares to decide the company's business so recklessly.

But this decision, apart from Tony himself, none of the other shareholders of Stark Industries is in favor of it. They don't care how many people will be killed by the weapons they sell, they only care about how much money will go into their pockets .

"Against? Sorry, everyone, if I remember correctly? I am the first shareholder of Stark Industries, right? I have a full 35% of the shares in my hand. You shouldn't have the right to object to my decision, right? "Stark sat in the meeting room and looked at the shareholders suspiciously, then at Pepper.

"Tony, don't forget! Together we have 38%!" Obadiah stood up and glared at Tony.

He had been watching the top spot for a long time, but it was because Howard and Maria had no chance to make a move. Now, Tony, a silly boy, took the initiative to send such a few times to him. This happiness should not come too suddenly.

Howard and Maria's combined 35% of the shares are under Tony's name, while his side has a total of 38%, and only 2% of the scattered stocks are floating around, and the remaining 25% of the shares are missing. Howard mentioned, In the hands of one of his good friends, but this mysterious man has never been seen by anyone.

So this time, Obaday is sure to win.

But the reality is so ridiculous, just when Obadai was about to launch a shareholder vote to let Tony step down, Maria came in.

"Hey, Maria, you..." Obaday wanted to say hello, but all he met was Maria's cold face.

Seeing his mother coming, Tony naturally got up and gave up his seat, and stood behind Maria with Pepper on the left and right.

"I heard that you are going to dismiss my son?" Maria asked with narrowed eyes.

"Maria, you are not in compliance with the rules. You are no longer a shareholder of Stark Industries. You are not eligible to attend the shareholder meeting." Opadry wanted to drive Maria away. Compared with Tony, Maria was difficult to deal with. Too much, is a woman who can subdue Howard Stark a character who can be easily fooled?

"Who said I don't have shares?" Maria sneered, took out a document from her bag, and threw it in front of Obadiah.

Obadiah frowned, picked it up, opened it, and his face changed drastically.

"It's impossible! You!"

Facing Obadiah's horror, Maria kept a sneer on her face.

"That's right, this is the last 25% you've been trying to find, but never found."

"No! I don't believe it! You guys are cheating! At first we agreed..."

"No, this is the transfer document. The shares came to me two days ago."

"This...how could..." After all calculations, Obaday didn't think that at such a critical moment, that mysterious person who had disappeared without a trace would actually come out to disrupt the situation.

"So, who else has an opinion on Tony's decision?" Maria asked, looking around at all the shareholders.

No one answered, no one was an idiot, and Obaday was gone. Supporting Tony's closure of the arms manufacturing department would indeed cost them a lot, but if they continued to oppose it, they would probably lose nothing.

"Since there is no objection, it is so decided, Pepper, please let people from outside come in."

"Yes."

Soon, a group of black suits were invited in, and Obaday was directly handcuffed.

"Mr. Obaday, you are suspected of tax evasion, colluding with terrorists, buying murder...we want to arrest you."

"No! You can't do this! Maria! I was wrong! Let me go..."

Hearing Obadi's pleading for mercy, everyone felt chills down their spines. They were glad that the decision just now was right. It is impossible for anyone who can sit in this position to be clean.

"If it's okay, let's go first, and please remember, here, the surname is Stark."

Pepper followed behind Maria, and Pepper's eyes were full of little stars from her strong figure. This is a model of a strong woman!A role model for all women!

"I want to become a powerful woman like Madam! Before that..." Pepper subconsciously looked at Tony beside her, blushing and bowing her head.

……

"I'm home?"

"Well, thank you, Adam..."

"No, you gave it to me in the first place, and now I just give it back to you. I'm not short of money."

"Really? I don't know who came to us to borrow money to buy an amusement park because Little Daisy wanted to go to the amusement park..."

"Pfft~cough cough, Maria, stay on the line today, so we can meet again in the future!"

"Hahaha……"

Pepper is a smart person. Not everyone can come to the Stark family's villa. It is also the first time Pepper has come in, and the young man in front of him is actually able to be alone in Stark's house, and he is talking and laughing with Maria , the identity must not be simple, and from Maria's tone, he is the mysterious person.

But what Tony said in the next second directly made her stupid.

"I said, Grandpa Adam, you are still so wicked." In Tony's eyes, Adam is the kind who likes to hide behind the scenes, watch others be arrogant, and then give the fatal blow at the end, telling the other party: "You are actually just a clown .”

"It's cool, isn't it?" Adam smiled.

"That's right!" Tony nodded approvingly.

"Wait! Tony, what do you call him? Grandpa!?" Pepper took the opportunity to interject.

"Eh... forgot you were still here." Tony was embarrassed.

"What's the matter, Pepper, are you going to be part of the family?" Maria asked. She didn't find the opportunity to have a good chat with Pepper before, and now is the time.

"No, I... madam! Your appearance!?" Pepper noticed that Maria had become younger, even younger than herself.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Pepper..."

"Tony, think about it before answering this question." Adam interrupted Tony.

Tony froze for a moment and fell silent.

He understood what Adam meant. He had a good impression of Pepper, and it was not a general favor.Unlike those cover girls who are just for fun, he really has the idea of ​​falling in love and getting married to Pepper.

But he is arrogant, he doesn't know how to speak, and he also knows what kind of ghost he was before, so he dragged it until now.

But he hesitated, his family is not simple, whether it is appropriate to involve her in this mysterious world.

But now, regardless of whether Maria and Adam did it intentionally or not, he was still negligent, so he had to face this problem, because it would change Pai Po's life.

"Okay, Pepper, this was my oversight, as you can see, my family is not a normal family, I mean...not just the rich one, although I used to be a jerk, but I still want to say , I... Pepper, I want you to be part of my family." Tony stammered.

"No, wait, Tony, I need to calm down." Pepper is not an ordinary woman. The temptation of eternal youth is indeed unparalleled, but she will think about the price and what she needs to pay.

"It's okay, but please keep it secret," Adam said.

"I...I know."

"Well, Maria, you can accompany Pepper, Tony, you come with me."

"Oh well."

Adam took Tony to the underground laboratory.

"Are you going to make another suit?" Adam asked directly.

"Of course, Grandpa Adam, you know, I... the shock this time is a bit big." Tony's expression was a little dark.

"Well, I support you."

"I knew you wouldn't allow... What did you say? Support me?" Tony thought he would be stopped by Adam, but he didn't expect him to support him.

"You choose to do the right thing, why don't I support it?"

"But...it's dangerous..."

"Are they in danger with Steve?"

"……No."

Just kidding, although he didn't participate in it, Tony still knows a little bit. Compared with the enemies that Steve and the others have to face, gangsters, terrorists, D owls, etc., are simply younger brothers.

Tony had also thought about joining it, but firstly, he had no fighting power himself, and he didn't want to be purely a technical support, secondly, he was really not ready yet, and Adam and others didn't allow it.

"So... would you like to join them?" Adam asked.

"So... I'm ready?"
