Karin walked into the kitchen and saw Tony Stark sitting leaning on the cooking table, looking at herself leisurely, she walked up to him and said, "Sorry, Mr. Stark, let me make sure, you are not The one who came to order a circus performance, but... who wants to buy a pig?"

"That's right!" Tony nodded and said, "Let's make an offer!"

Karin frowned and said, "But, I don't quite understand why you want to buy pigs from me?"

"Is it hard to understand?" Tony raised his eyebrows, then nodded, "Oh, yes, it's really weird, but don't worry about that, put aside all your questions, I just need your answer, yes or no."

Karin looked at the person in front of her speechlessly. Tony Stark's face was full of "I'm rich, I'm rich, you can make a price as you like!" He didn't even need to say anything, he was full of enthusiasm. There is an adjective called "wealthy".However, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I don't sell."

Tony was taken aback, looked at Karin in disbelief, and said, "What? What did you just say?"

"I said, sorry, Mr. Stark, I don't sell pigs." Karin said slowly, "And, as long as you want, you can buy the best piglets in America."

Tony stood up suddenly, walked in front of her, stared deeply at Karin, and asked slowly, "Are you... sure you don't plan to sell pigs, Karin?"

It's too close!As a stranger who has known each other for less than half an hour, such a distance makes Karin very uncomfortable, so this guy is indeed the legendary playboy!At this moment, his beautiful eyes are staring at him so intently, and he is calling his name directly, is this a discharge?

Oh no, Karin, you're overthinking it!

She took a step back silently, walked around Tony to the side cabinet, and said, "Would you like a cup of coffee, Mr. Stark."

"No, I don't need it!" Tony turned to Karin and said, "Listen, I don't have a lot of time, so, are you sure you don't sell pigs?"

With her back turned to him, Karin poured herself a glass of water. After taking a sip, she turned to look at Tony, smiled, and said, "Sorry, it's not for sale!"

Tony was silent. To be honest, he never thought that Karin would not sell pigs. He pondered for a while and said, "Hey, how about this? Let me make an offer. The Stark Foundation will subsidize your circus with $[-] a year." , the duration is...indefinitely, in exchange, I will take that little pig." He stared at Karin, "Exchanging a pig for the food and clothing of all the animals here is a very good deal."

Karin clenched the water glass tightly. Yes, Tony Stark was right. It is a good deal to exchange a piglet for the food and clothing of all the friends. One hundred thousand dollars a year is not a small amount. For those who are short-changed by the performance list, the conditions he proposed are really attractive.

Reason told her that this deal was very good, why not accept it?

But, Karin looked up and stared at Tony, and asked, "Why did you buy a pig, oh no, what I should ask is, why did you point to my Edward and say you want to buy it, why not Peppa or some other pig?"

Tony raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not important, dear Karin. What's important is that you give me Edward the pig. After that, it doesn't matter if you don't take the animals out to perform, doesn't it?"

Karin shook her head and said, "My grandfather told me that when you are faced with an unusually sweet sugar-coated cannonball, it is best to hold back your instinctive desire and see if there is an abyss hidden behind it."

"Oh, your grandfather is really wise." Tony smiled, pointing to his own face, "Look clearly, what does this face represent in America? I, Tony Stark, are like the icing on your grandfather's mouth Cannonballs?"

Karin looked at Tony's dissatisfied expression and said, "You really don't look like a sugar-coated cannonball, but your words and deeds now..." There was a strong taste of a liar in his bones.

"What's wrong with my behavior?" Tony asked. "Oh! You think I'm a liar!"

Karin smiled reluctantly.

Tony originally said it casually, but Karin smiled like that, almost acquiescing. "Wait, you're serious, you think I'm a liar?" His face was ugly, because Karin nodded, "Little girl, you really think I'm a liar!!"

Karin looked at Tony with a bit of embarrassment. To be honest, she didn't want to say so clearly that she thought Tony Stark was a liar. However, from the time he started talking about buying pigs until now, what he said, the conditions he offered , are outrageous. "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, if you can, please... please come back! My pigs are not for sale, and I won't let you take them away just because I want a subsidy of [-] yuan a year. I'm sorry!" After finishing speaking, she pointed He pointed in the direction of the door.

Tony stared sullenly at Karin and said, "Okay! Great!" He walked out of the kitchen immediately.

Karin followed Tony, intently planning to send him to the door, but unexpectedly, after Tony walked into the living room, he stopped suddenly.She looked up at him, what's wrong?

Tony pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "You'd better change the battery or wind up this broken clock of yours." After speaking, he strode towards the door.

Karin looked up at the wall inexplicably, and turned her head to look at Tony. He had already left the cabin, and she couldn't help murmuring: "What a weirdo!"

Here, after Tony came out of the cabin, opened the car door and sat in, he leaned into the seat and exhaled fiercely, muttering to himself: "This little girl is really stubborn!"

Now, what to do?He found the pig, but he couldn't bring it back to the base smoothly, which meant that as long as he fainted, he would have to be a stupid pig here.

No, he must take that little pig back!

Tony suddenly remembered Karin's "liar said", couldn't help pressing his temple with a headache, pressed the switch of the car, and said to the artificial intelligence: "Take me back to the base!"

After accepting Tony's order, the artificial intelligence fully started the car, turned on the GPS to search for the best route, and then said: "Okay, Mr. Stark, the destination has been set, and now we will start the return journey."

The red sports car roared and automatically backed out from the warehouse, heading towards New York...

Avengers base, recreation room.

Banner was wearing glasses and sitting on the sofa reading a book. Suddenly, the sound of a vehicle engine roaring wildly like a beast came from outside the window. He raised his head and looked out the floor-to-ceiling glass window, asking, "Edwin, is Tony back?"

"That's right! Dr. Banner!" Edwin replied.

Banner took off his glasses, walked to the window with a book in his hand, only to see a red car passing by the driveway not far away, he squinted, Tony is driving like this, it seems that things may not be right How did it go well.

It didn't take long for Tony to appear at the door of the entertainment room. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the bar.

Banner walked to the sofa and put down the book in his hand, walked to Tony, watched him drink a glass of wine in one gulp, and asked, "You didn't buy a pig."

"Yes!" Tony said angrily, "I didn't buy it, but the little girl refused to sell it!"

Banner tilted his head to look at Tony and said, "Why don't you sell it?"

Tony forcefully put down the wine glass in his hand, stared at the various wine cabinets for a while, sneered, and said, "Oh, it's very simple, she thinks I'm a liar."

"What?" Banner was stunned. "Why? I don't understand. Are you planning to trick the pig back from that Karin Barnum? Then, people saw you through?"

"Banner!" Tony said word for word. "Do you think I need to trick a pig?"

Banner shrugged, looked at Tony's dark face, and said, "Honestly, Tony, I think...you really might..."

Tony turned his head abruptly, stared at Banner for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to subsidize that poor circus with one hundred thousand dollars a year indefinitely, and ask her to give me the pig. Do you think this is called cheating? Huh?"

Hearing this, Banner thought about it seriously, and said, "It's very similar to..."

"What?" Tony stared at Banner, "You also feel like a liar with such generous terms?"

Banner hummed, and said, "It's really like a liar. Seriously, Tony, what do you think? Why do you put forward such a condition? Even if you have money, when the price or condition you offer exceeds the pig itself value, anyone will doubt and think you are joking or a liar, right?"

Tony fell silent.

"Also, even if I didn't regard you as a liar, but since you wanted that little pig so desperately, wouldn't the pig's owner think that you would agree to any conditions, purposely reject you, and after whetting your appetite, then The lion opened his mouth?" Banner looked at Tony suspiciously, "Maybe she is waiting for you to come to buy pigs for the second time, and is ready to cheat you?"

"No, she won't!" Tony shook his head and said, "What you said is not true, Karin Barnum is not such a person!"

Banner sighed and said, "Okay! Since you don't think Karin Barnum is such a person, then the only reason why she doesn't want to buy your pig is... what I said before."

Princeton town.

The night is deep.

After taking a shower, Karin stood in front of the mirror to dry her hair wrapped in a towel. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought of Tony Stark unconsciously.

One hundred thousand US dollars in funding per year, and it is indefinite.

However, she turned it down without hesitation.

Karin thought blankly, if Edward was handed over to Tony Stark, she wouldn't have to worry about bills all day long, and wouldn't have to worry about her friends being hungry, even if it wasn't for an indefinite period, even for a few years!At least in another two years, after she fully adapts and finds a way for the circus to survive, she should be able to support the big family even without that funding.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a little regretful.

Karin dried her hair carelessly, put on her pajamas and went out of the bathroom, when she suddenly heard an angry voice shouting, "Nuts! Little Karin, give me nuts!"

She followed the sound, and saw a blue figure flying towards her with a splash, and landed precisely on her freshly washed hair.

Poli stood on top of Karin, tilted her head and said, "Oh, my God, you smell so good, like a little flower that can walk."

Karin said dumbfoundingly: "Thank you! That...can you stop standing on my head? I just finished washing my hair!"

Upon hearing this, Polly kicked her paws vigorously and flew towards the kitchen, leaving Karin who was left alone and messed up by its paws and wings in the wind.

Karin brushed the hair off her face, sighed with a smile, and followed Polly to the kitchen.
