My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

"You want to build a building?"

Pepper looked at her boyfriend in disbelief, and glanced at Lainie with her peripheral vision.

She had already learned from Roddy why a certain blockhead had come to his senses last night.

But this matter should be dealt with separately, and we can't just let Tony do whatever he wants just after agreeing to be with him.

"You want to build Stark Tower?"

Laini's reaction was also very surprised, and then she frowned and thought about it.

Tony nodded as a matter of course, and then asked Jarvis to call up the satellite map of Manhattan, New York.

After a rough look, he stretched out his hand and marked a building standing in the center of Manhattan in red.

"Jarvis, help me calculate how much I need to buy this building?"

Before Pepper refused, Jarvis gave a series of information about the building.

"The MetLife Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building, formerly known as the Pan Am Building, was built in 1963 and is about 246 meters high. It was one of the landmark buildings in New York City at the time..."

Ignoring Jarvis's chatter, Tony clapped his hands to signal him to stop, and said concisely:

"How long will it take me to buy it?"

"I'm making an appointment for you..."

Seeing that this guy was getting more and more excited, and really wanted to buy the building, Pepper hurriedly stood up to interrupt.

"Wait! You didn't discuss such a big thing with me?"

"I'm not discussing it with you, right? Jarvis, help me give the boss of that company a price he can't refuse."

Tony's matter-of-fact look made Pepper speechless.

"What kind of discussion is this? You're just notifying us, and..."

"Yes, I'm notifying you to discuss the actual plan for the new building. I want it to be the tallest and most magnificent building in downtown Manhattan!"

Tony called up the holographic view and showed some of his previous design plans to the two.

Pepper helplessly held her forehead and smiled bitterly.

As expected, this guy actually hasn't changed at all. I thought Tony had come to his senses...

Sitting weakly on the sofa, Pepper waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care.

"Whatever you want, I just have a headache now!"

Seeing this, Lainie didn't say much, and took out a [Shining World Instrument] from the void and handed it to Pepper.

"Maybe this can make you feel a little more comfortable."

Signing the other party to put the world instrument on the temple, Lainie calmed Pepper's emotions.

Then she looked at the pile of full-system design drawings that Tony showed.

"If you really decide, I think you can separate an area on the top floor, or reserve a few floors as living areas."

Laini plans to move directly to New York. After all, it's not a big deal to always live in Tony's villa.

It was okay before the two of them confirmed their relationship. Pepper lived here because she was Tony's personal assistant.

But now the two are together, and this will be the Stark couple's home in the future. What does she count as?

In the past, she could use the excuse of being an assistant to stay here shamelessly, but now she would be a little confused if she stayed.

And moving to New York also has its advantages, at least she doesn't need to take a plane to go to Aunt May's house.

"I have this plan too."

Tony pulled over a holographic view, which was the design he was most satisfied with, bold, grand, and full of technology!

Enlarging the huge STARK logo above the building, Tony rubbed his chin with satisfaction.

"That's it, Jarvis, get the workers busy!"

Lainie noticed that Jarvis gave a rough completion time for the reconstruction, which would be put into use in the beginning of next year or even March or April.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief, there was still time.

She still had time to prepare.

Although Lainie was not sure whether Nick Fury, the egg-headed man, would continue to work on the Pegasus Project.

But she had contacted Jane Foster in the past two days, and learned from her that Dr. Eric Shavig had indeed joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

This made her feel a little worried, and she also called Clint and Maria Hill.

But the answers she got were that they were on a mission and it was unclear.

However, this ambiguous answer, neither denying nor confirming, sounded to Lainie like:

"It's happening, I'm already involved."

Therefore, he decided to talk to Egghead in person, at least to give that guy a shot of prevention.

...

After finalizing the matter of Stark Tower with Tony, Lainie hurriedly took a plane back to the SHIELD headquarters.

However, before Lainie went upstairs to find Nick Fury, she saw Coulson waiting for her downstairs.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Lainie frowned, and her whereabouts were monitored by Nick Fury again.

"Yes, and no..."

Coulson smiled and shook his head, motioning Lainie to wait a moment.

"I was standing here just to get some fresh air, and then Director Fury called me and told me to wait for you."

Laini didn't think much about it. If that was the case, it was just right. She also wanted to get some indirect information from Coulson.

The two didn't talk much. Coulson didn't know why Lainie suddenly came back.

But since Lainie was back, it might not be so easy for her to leave. Her investigation team just needed a reliable combat force.

Laini, who was thinking a lot, was not in the mood to greet Coulson. They went straight to the elevator.

However, when passing the hall, a team of more than 30 SHIELD newcomers passed by them, and Lainie couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Are they the newcomers this month?"

Coulson followed Lainie's gaze and nodded without thinking much:

"Yes, the bureau is very short of people now, in all senses..."

Lainie didn't take it too seriously. SHIELD has many people joining every month, so it's not surprising that there are so many people in a certain month.

It's just that at a certain moment just now, she seemed to see someone familiar.

However, after staring at the backs of the newcomers for a long time, Lainie didn't see that she knew that person.

So she didn't care, just thinking that she saw it wrong.

"How did the last incident go?"

Standing in the elevator, Lainie thought about it and asked about the compensation of the agents who died last time.

"Well, it's all taken care of. In addition to the funds you provided, SHIELD also provided some additional jobs to those families to help them better resume their lives."

When it comes to this, Coulson also put away his usual smile on his face.

"But many of the families are not satisfied, after all, they didn't even get to see the bodies in the end."

Laini was a little sad, but there was really nothing she could do.

Whether it was due to SHIELD's confidentiality conditions or because they didn't want their families to see the miserable deaths of their children and husbands.

SHIELD only returned the ashes of those victims to their families.

Just like the undertakers in the funeral industry, everyone hopes that the family of the deceased can see the deceased for the last time.

But sometimes, the conditions really don't allow it.

Although cruel, it should be so...
