American comics: Hydra scientists

More than a month has passed.

Since the announcement of the closure of the Stark Industries weapons manufacturing department in front of a large number of media, and the arrest of Stark Industries shareholder and director Obadiah for his alleged involvement in the Tony 6 Stark kidnapping case.

Stark Industries suffered its worst crisis since its founding.

In less than two weeks, Stark Industries' market value had evaporated in half.

At this critical moment, Tony Stark, the backbone of Stark Industries, is nowhere to be seen, and there has been no news.

If a mysterious person hadn't helped stabilize Stark Industries' stock price, many experts had believed that Stark Industries was at risk of bankruptcy in the past month.

No matter how noisy and noisy the outside world was, after clearing all the monitoring equipment in his home, Tony locked himself in his underground laboratory.

"Jarvis, change the material to titanium alloy and give it a color."

......

"Well~ I don't like this~"

"This is not bad, but it's a little less interesting."

"This red is nice, but it's too bright. Can you decorate it a little bit?"

"No~"

"Just barely, let's try another one~"

"Hey~ The one just now, yes, it's the golden one~"

Following Tony's decision, the familiar Mark 3 armor appeared in front of Tony.

As fate would have it, Tony fell in love with it the first time he saw it.

"That's it, ready to be painted. I can't wait to see it."

After deciding on the final plan, Tony immediately issued the order to build the armor.

"Yes, sir."

Rubbing his bloodshot eyes, Tony stood up and left the laboratory. He was going to go upstairs to find some food.

As soon as he walked upstairs, Pepper's serious figure appeared in front of Tony.

"Tony, my boss, I thought you would never come out of your lab."

"What's wrong? Pepper, doesn't it mean that me staying in the lab reduces your work? Why do you feel so tired?"

Tony walked towards his wine cabinet filled with various limited editions, his tone was very casual.

Pepper stared at the same bloodshot eyes as Tony and said dissatisfied: "In fact, because of a certain irresponsible person, my work now is many times more than before. I have to do the work of seven or eight people by myself. , if this continues, I think you may not see me again soon."

"In fact, the job you are doing now is the dream of many people. You should thank me."

Tony took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet at random, poured it into two wine glasses, walked towards Pepper with two glasses of wine, and handed a glass to her.

Pepper did not take the wine glass from Tony's hand, but stared at him with a cold face, full of resentment and a hint of anger: "No, I won't thank you, my current work is beyond my ability." In terms of work, I not only have to do the secretary's work, I also have to do your work, but I'm just your secretary, and I can't make the final decision on some things."

"How everyone hopes that someone can come out and take charge of the overall situation at this time."

"But a certain extremely irresponsible coward will only hide in his laboratory, tinkering with boring stuff that has no effect, in order to numb himself and escape from reality."

Tony suddenly defended himself: "What I made was not a boring thing, it was an epoch-making invention."

Seeing that Tony still looked hopeless, Pepper's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out.

"Actually, that's boring stuff, Tony. The company is in a mess now, and it needs you now. If you still only know how to escape, do you know that you will go bankrupt and become a Tony who has nothing and is hated by everyone? 6 ?1Stark."

"No, Pepper, trust me, I won't go bankrupt. When they know what I've done, they'll be waving their money like mad dogs and begging me to give them a chance."

Regarding the future development of his company, Tony had plans after rebuilding the Ark reactor, and he was not in a hurry.

Energy is in short supply in any technological world.

But with Tony's arrogant character, he didn't bother to tell others his thoughts, even if that person was Pepper.

Of course, Pepper didn't know what Tony was thinking. Seeing that Tony was still careless and completely irresponsible, she lowered her head in disappointment.

"In that case, Tony, you may need to appoint a new secretary."

"Well~ I just had this idea. Didn't you always hope to..."

Before he finished his sentence, Tony reacted suddenly and looked at Pepper in surprise.

"You want to resign?"

Pepper nodded: "Yes, with such an irresponsible boss and a company that is about to go bankrupt, I have to think about my own future."

Pepper's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Tony panicked immediately.

He didn't know why he was panicking, but he was panicking.

"No, no, no~ I don't agree. Even if you submit your resignation letter, I won't agree."

"What will I do if you leave?"

"Pepper, you know, there are some things I really can't do without you."

Pepper glanced at Tony lightly: "It doesn't matter, you will learn it soon when you are bankrupt."

After saying that, he threw the thick stack of information into Tony's hand and stomped towards the door.

Tony stared blankly at Pepper's angrily back, then suddenly got excited, threw away the information in his hand, and quickly chased after Pepper.

After a few steps to catch up, Tony grabbed Pepper's arm and pulled her into his arms without saying a word~

Wall bang~

"Ah~"

The scream almost made Tony deaf.

Tony hurriedly tied Pepper tightly and explained: "Calm down~Calm down~Pepper, listen to my explanation."

......

After a struggle, Pepper finally calmed down and sat on the sofa with Tony.

It's just that Tony's image is a bit unusual.

There was a clear slap mark on his face, and there were several parallel red marks soaked in blood.

"I swear, you are definitely the first woman who left wounds on my face but made me willing to do so."

Tony twitched the corners of his mouth, still looking careless.

Pepper rolled her eyes at Tony, then distressedly found the medicine box and helped Tony clean his wounds.

Although Tony's action was impulsive, it created a strange atmosphere between the two of them.

Although she had been convinced by Tony, Pepper still had a sad look on her face.

"Tony, are you really sure you don't want to take care of the company?"

"Don't worry, people who leave now will regret it later because they will lose the opportunity to become billionaires."

Tony is not worried at all about Stark Industries. As long as he is not bankrupt, it will be a matter of minutes to turn around.

What troubles him most now is Charles' condition.

"Pepper, how about the incident where I asked you to help investigate Trask Industries?"

"I've asked Happy to investigate, but don't have any expectations. According to the information we have now, Trask Industries went bankrupt twenty years ago due to poor management, and its founder is missing. "

"Really? The clues are broken again. It seems a little difficult to solve."

Tony suddenly put away his cynical expression, and a rare seriousness appeared on his face.
