Marvel's Speedster

Ever since Todd started to work in secret, he seemed to have awakened some strange hobbies in his heart, and prying around is one of the worst ones. Ross definitely disagrees with this, but it is inevitable for him when it involves the people around him. Somewhat curious, after sending Toad away, he quietly set off to the circular corridor on the second floor of the hall.

At the moment was working hours, most of the staff were busy, only the group of young people from Xavier College had nothing to do, they stood together by the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding big glasses of drinks and popcorn in their hands, as if they were watching a circus performance They seemed to form a group and look out.

Pepper was struggling with harassment from her former employer when Ross came nearby.

"Sorry, Tony, I've been busy lately, and I think Miss Everheart is your best choice.~"

Everheart is the surname of the female reporter Christine. After creating a misunderstanding, this lady managed to get Pepper away in anger, and turned around and climbed up the big tree Stark. According to recent gossip from Peter, Ross heard that she is now playing the role of Pepper, as Tony's personal assistant, and by the way assisting this modern Da Vinci with some annoying company affairs, Seeing that she is going to develop on the road of a strong woman.

Hearing Pepper's mention of the current secretary, Iron Man was inevitably a little embarrassed, and he quickly coughed to cover it up - his heart was unnatural.

"That was a misunderstanding. I must have been mad at Obaday. The only person I can't live without is you, my Pepper. I'm incomplete without you. I can't even remember my social security number." ! If you don't like it, I can terminate the contract with Christine right now. I am willing to pay ten times the termination fee, as long as you promise to come back.

"Don't do that!" Pepper hurriedly stopped him.

"Tony, things have passed, my life is full and happy now, and many people need me..."

"I need you too!" Tony cut her off right away.

"I'm Tony Stark, I made those Iron Men, I patrol the sky above the city, I play the role of the savior every once in a while, but why can't I sleep at night, because I have a super good girlfriend who was taken away by someone else, Now I'm going to take her back!"

Tony waved his arms excitedly, a large bouquet of red rose petals fluttering in the wind, but as Pepper said, everything is over. In the past, Pepper didn't cherish it when he was around, but now his enthusiasm embarrasses the former secretary. Pepper knows that there are some good people watching behind him, and even some paparazzi among the passers-by not far away picked up their cameras as if they were treasures. Openly filming, but she was unwilling to sternly refuse to hurt Tony's feelings in front of others, so she was quite embarrassed for a while.

Ross can also feel her distress in it.

In fact, the gossip-loving Mutant chicks are also whispering beside him, and the girls like Shadowcat Katie and naughty Mary look at him with strange eyes from time to time, as if a bloody third-rate drama is going on in front of their eyes Soap opera, and the three of Ross are the leading actors in this love triangle.

"Damn guy." Ross thought depressingly in his heart, not knowing exactly who he was referring to.

He looked around for a while as if nothing had happened, and when he found a Mutant who was good at manipulating insects was also watching nearby, his eyes immediately lit up.

While no one was looking, Ross secretly picked up the genetically modified spider and threw it on the lawn outside.

"Do me a favor."

Pulling the Mutant by hand, he slipped a piece of Franklin into the other's palm.

Stark didn't notice what happened behind him, he was still trying to persuade Pepper to come back to him.

"Come back, Pepper, I need you so much!"

"I know that my explanation about Christine is a bit redundant. It's a stupid thing, maybe the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life."

"I admit that my previous life was a bit chaotic, and the media is concocting rumors about me every day to solicit business, but you know I'm not the kind of guy who is hopeless."

"Well, my character is not perfect, and I have a negative impact on society, but I am to you... ah!!"

Just as he was persuading him endlessly, a sudden electric shock-like feeling came from behind him.

"What the hell is this! A cat?"

Immediately he jumped up, backhanded and plucked a furry creature from the back of his hip.

It was a cave spider, four or five inches in size. Its colorful body was covered with dark red fluff, and its eight slowly moving claws were daunting.

Throwing the creature back to the ground as if scalded by flames, Tony, who was still in shock, took a few steps back and yelled loudly, it was this thing that stung him just now.

"Sorry, this may have come out of the laboratory, let the doctor take a look."

Pepper quickly apologized, and at the same time called the director of the laboratory's biological research group.

Panicked, Tony recognized it as a red rose spider native to the Chilean desert. This kind of spider is docile and belongs to a kind of tarantula. Many people keep it as a pet. Its toxicity is very weak, and its aggressiveness is not strong. Maybe I was too emotional just now and accidentally stepped on it, so it climbed onto my body and took a bite.

After this incident, Mr. Stark felt a great loss of face, and the emotions that had been brewing disappeared, so he did not accept Pepper's kindness, left a few words in a hurry

Looking at the embarrassing figure of his former employer, Pepper shook his head and turned to look back.

The troublemakers scattered away, and Pepper didn't find that familiar face in the crowd, but based on what she knew about someone, Pepper sensitively felt that this incident was not an accident.

Entering the elevator all the way up, she soon came to Ross's office.

The door was not closed, Pepper pushed the door directly and went in.

"Ross?"

She was shouting when a red rose suddenly appeared from the side.

Pepper was taken aback, and reached out to cover her plump breasts.

Then the master of this place appeared before her.

"I admit that my character is not perfect and has a negative impact on society, but I am absolutely sincere to you, can you accept my apology?"

Ross imitated Stark's tone and said, Pepper was angry and funny, reached out and punched him hard, and then took the flower.

After she touched it, she realized that it was a paper flower folded from document paper. Ross folded the square document strips to make a flower|petal complicated pentagonal shape. The color of the file itself is no different from real flowers at first glance.

The outside world often compares him with Stark, but Tony is more used to buying directly with money, and is rarely willing to do handwork for others by himself.

Holding this paper flower "Pepper's heart was slightly touched.

Then she quickly reminded herself that this employer is essentially the same as the previous one, they are both very greedy guys.

"Did you do it just now, I mean the spider?"

Looking down to sniff the paper rose, Pepper glanced at Ross.

"Why didn't the red rose (spider) fall in love with the red rose?" Ross wanted to deny.

…ask for flowers………

Staring at him with a half-smile, Pepper folded his arms and leaned against the door, as if he would turn around and leave if he answered incorrectly.

"Okay, I did it." Ross could only throw up his hands in surrender.

"I'm afraid Tony will kidnap my people, I can't do without you."

"Really?" Pepper was noncommittal.

"I think you can do business. You sent a Russian to Central Asia, and now the customers over there are urging the delivery again. This time we are still shipping in boxes from Watsonton Pharmaceuticals.

?”

"I want to make a statement that General Omar has nothing to do with me. It was the ghost of Watsonton Pharmaceuticals. They made illegal transactions with the dictatorship warlords in order to make huge profits. I have always firmly resisted such things.

Ross retorted solemnly, his innocent look made Pepper want to punch him again.

For her, the new employer is an unpredictable guy, he has many secrets in private, but he reveals them to her without reservation, but the more she understands, the more unfathomable he feels. Sometimes she even suspects that Ross has multiple personalities. Sometimes he is an extremely deep and sophisticated man, and sometimes he turns into a lively boy. All kinds of faces are intertwined and changing, so she doesn't know how to master them.

Compared with this troublesome guy, business matters are quite simple.

The downfall of Watsonton Pharmaceuticals has double benefits for the laboratory. One is definitely reducing external pressure and eliminating a strong competitor; the other is that Ross, who has been prepared for a long time, can finally divert the attention of the outside world. To the pharmaceutical giants, let them bear the suspicion of the military and agent agencies, and continue to do business in the name of Watsonton's remnant party in private.

After Malik's death, the forces behind him couldn't control the situation, and other parties began to move around. The federal government also announced that it would conduct an in-depth investigation into Watsonton Pharmaceuticals. In addition to the illegal experiments involving Mutant, another reason for the investigation is that spy satellites found some cryogenic boxes with Watsonton's logo in Omar's guard station.

Those boxes were exactly what Ross had prepared before, and he got them from within Watsonton Pharmaceuticals through various means, and then loaded them with medicines from cutting-edge laboratories and shipped them to Central Asia for Omar to use.

In this way, Watsonton II, who was murdered by Malik, became the scapegoat again. This time he didn't even have a chance to defend himself. Although the results of the investigation have not yet been obtained, many people tend to believe that Watsonton spread the dangerous results to Central Asia.

Pepper was quite aware of this matter, but she didn't feel disgusted by it. She just regarded it as a common means of competition. Although it was illegal, it was not unacceptable.

When she used to work for Stark, Tony and Opadry weren't pure saints, otherwise the outside world wouldn't have nicknamed the playboy "Death Merchant" and that wasn't all Opadry's credit. So as long as Ross doesn't break the limit, she won't have any objections, not to mention from the current situation, because Ross will never fall more people than Stark, and his contribution to society will only be greater than Stark.

"Don't always talk about business. Money can be the shell of many things, but not the fruit inside. Now you should relax and let's dance." Ross proposed enthusiastically, and then melodious music sounded in the office.

Pepper clumsily followed Ross's footsteps, his tall body passively matching his movements.

Gradually, her body relaxed, intoxicated by the melody of the music, and the long hair behind her head hung down like a waterfall, like a beautiful and elegant tulip, quietly blooming in Ross's arms. .
