Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 91. . . . .

People who often come to this bookstore know very well that although the bookstore owner is open at night, he doesn't like to have customers in the bookstore, and they are usually his friends.So there are no guests at this time.

After hastily eating dinner, it was a rare thing to close the door of the bookstore, and several of them walked up to the third floor, where there was a small living room.

"Pepper, Tony's current steel armor shouldn't be so fragile, being crushed and beaten by three helicopters!" Xi nested on the sofa and asked Pepper who was sitting next to him.

Pepper simply washed up, and the nervous mood of the day was relaxed. Besides, Xie was by his side, this powerful angel felt very safe. "It was just a prototype, Tony was using it for experiments at first. You know, he's been anxious since the Battle of New York."

Pepper looked around Xie Xi's third floor at this time, as far as she knew, this should be Xi's private space.She suddenly discovered something, it seemed that someone was missing. "Where are your employees? We were four of us just now."

"Diliv?" Xi looked at Maya Hansen who was still in the bathroom and lowered her voice, "I asked her to find Tony."

"You found him!?" Pepper said in surprise.

"Well, he's in no danger now."

"I have to find him!" Pepper eagerly wanted to get up, but was stopped by Xi.

"You can't go yet. If you go, you will bring him danger. I think he is afraid of bringing you danger if he doesn't come back." Xi explained.

"But Tony would be very dangerous by himself." Although Pepper sat down, he was still very worried.

"It's not that there is still Dillif!" Xi was speechless at Pepper's inexplicable worry. "Don't worry, Dilliff will be fine. She is Sol's sister."

"That's really great." Pepper's body shook when she heard that, and now she was really relieved.

"Well, so he has been upgrading his armor?" Xie changed the subject.

Tony's anxiety is not a short-term thing, but it can be seen that he often stayed up late a while ago.

"Yes, just today, Maya Hansen went to find Tony. We were attacked." Pepper said, looking at Maya who came out of the bathroom.

"Then, the problem lies with her." Xi motioned Maya to sit down, and then looked directly at her.

"Me?" Maya Hansen was surprised when Xi mentioned her.

"Of course, not everyone can find and approach Tony's private villa. Let alone three armed helicopters." Xie nodded and explained the problems she found.

Maya Hansen thought of something when she heard the words, her face sank, she was very ugly.

"Remember?" Xi motioned for the other party to talk about it.

"Why did you come to Tony, what is so important?" Pepper was taken aback suddenly, and asked anxiously.

"Is it safe here?" Maya looked around, a little uncertain.In a non-combat state, Xi looks like a child, and it is difficult for people to raise their guard.

Xi and Pepper looked at each other and laughed. "There is nowhere on earth that is safer than here, and nowhere is the president safer."

"Well, my boss may be working for the Mandarin." Maya shrugged, suddenly remembering that the harmless child across from her was a powerful angel.

"Your boss is working for the Mandarin?" Pepper couldn't believe it, "but Tony said you're a botanist."

"Well, I'm actually a DNA cryptographer. I lead a group of 40 people in a private think tank. But you can call me a botanist."

"What's your boss's name?" Xi asked curiously.

"Qili'an in the Odd District" Maya announced a name that Pepper was very familiar with.

"What?" Pepper was very surprised, she had just met this person some time ago. "incredible."

After Maya said the name, she seemed to let go of something, and she naturally walked to the sofa and sat down, "Ironically, before building rockets for NC, the idealist von Braun had fantasized about space travel, he had dreams. "

As the owner of the bookstore, Xi poured a cup of hot water for Maya.

"Thank you!" Maya reached out and took it with excitement, "Guess what he said when London was first bombed! "The bomb exploded perfectly, it just landed on the wrong planet". We were all naive at first, only pursuing science , and then become arrogant and stubborn, and by the time you find out, it's already too late."

Maya's tone was a little lost, and Pepper comforted, "Maya, don't criticize yourself, you just handed over the research to the think tank"

"But Qi Li'an's think tank is funded by the military."

"We were like this before, don't be harsh on yourself, really."

"Thank you, Pepper, I really appreciate it." Maya Hansen thanked her sincerely.But only she knows how much moisture this "sincerity" contains.

Xi sat on the side and didn't speak all the time. She turned her head cryptically and looked downstairs. There was someone approaching there, and the corners of Xi's mouth were slightly raised.

At this time, Xi's voice came from Pepper's mind, "Pepper don't behave abnormally, let's put on a show."

Pepper was taken aback for a moment, but she was smart and immediately realized that her performance was not obvious.

"Pepper, there are three people resting here tonight. Can you go to the second floor to get a quilt? It's in the warehouse on the second floor." Xie signaled to Pepper at the right time, and at the same time, Maya blinked her eyes inadvertently.

"Okay, sorry to bother you tonight." Pepper nodded, everything seemed very natural.

It is a pity to know that the intruder has reached the door on the third floor.

Pepper was about to open the door, but the door opened suddenly, and the person who opened the door quickly entered the house and grabbed Pepper by the door.

"Qi Li'an?" Pepper was taken aback, she suddenly woke up.This place is Xi's home, and no one can enter without Xi's consent.

Pepper struggled cooperatively.

Qilian stuck Pepper's neck and pushed her against the wall. At the same time, he looked at Maya Hansen who stood up in shock. As for Xi, who was curled up on the sofa, he automatically ruled it out.

"Are you going to explain why you went to Stark?"

Maya didn't realize it for a while, she knew exactly where this place was, but how could Qi Li'an come in.She was very puzzled by this.

"You'd better not reveal my identity, otherwise..." Xi's voice appeared in Maya's mind at the right time, causing her heart to twitch instantly.

"I want to solve the problem. I didn't know you and the Mandarin would blow up there." Although Maya was anxious, she didn't dare to take any improper actions.

"So you want to save Stark when he threatens us?"

"I told you, we can use him." Maya walked into Qi Li'an and turned her back to Xi.

Hearing what Maya said, Pepper reached out to grab Qi Li'an, but the other party grabbed her neck very hard.

Qi Li'an and Pepper knew each other, and he was very helpless about Pepper's struggle. "Little pepper, little pepper..." He tried to comfort.

"If mass production is going to happen next year, I need Stark. He had no reason to help, but now he has." Maya Hansen explained to Qi Li'an, signaling to him with dark eyes.

Qi Li'an was taken aback when he heard this statement, apparently he was surprised by the way Peggy was used as a hostage to blackmail Stark.At this time, he saw Maya Hansen's gesture, and looked at Xi who had been curled up on the sofa.

"Who is she?" Qi Li'an only looked at Xi seriously at this time.

"Let's go..." Pepper struggled to hold back two words.

"Bring her too!" Qi Li'an heard that Pepper cared so much about this girl, and thought Xie was very important to Stark, and if he brought her, the chips would be bigger.After all, without looking at Maya Hansen's astonished expression, he grabbed Pepper and went out.

"Good performance!" Xi looked at Maya Hansen standing in front of her with a half-smile.

"You..." Maya regretted coming to Stark now.The look in her eyes just now was to tell Qi Li'an to run quickly, but she didn't expect that the other party got it wrong.

Maya bent down helplessly and prepared to carry Xi, but she had no room to resist in front of Xi.

"Do you need me to change clothes?" Xi laughed and climbed onto Maya's shoulders.

"No!" Maya said angrily.
