Chapter 316

Noticing Tony's small movements behind him, Pepper subconsciously glanced back.

Looking at Little Pepper's suspicious gaze, Tony immediately pulled the corner of his mouth to reveal a reluctant smile, and shrank his hand behind him.

"Tony, have you forgotten how you promised me?"

Seeing Tony's reaction in his eyes, Pepper couldn't help shaking his head gently, and said, "Stop lying to me, deceive me."

A series of accidents, especially Tony's disclosure of his address in front of the camera before, led to Killian's attack on the villa, which caused Pepper to be greatly impacted.

"Have it?"

Hearing Pepper's words, Tony raised his eyebrows subconsciously and touched his rough chin with a beard, "Why don't I remember saying that."

"Tony!"

"Okay," Tony shrugged at Pepper's increasingly angry look, "I remember, it seems like it really happened. You know, I've been busy with new projects for a while now. Research, it is inevitable to forget some other things, so..."

"If only you were so concerned about Stark Industries."

Faced with Tony's obvious excuse, Pepper couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Isn't it still you, you should know, Pepper, I put Stark Industries in your hands because I believe you can do it well."

Although, I know the purpose of Tony's words.

But it is undeniable that with this sentence thrown out, the originally angry expression on Pepper's face suddenly eased.

Taking another look at Tony who blinked in front of him with a 'harmless' expression on his face, Pepper retracted his gaze and turned back to the child Po in front of him.

As Little Pepper's gaze left, the embarrassed smile on Tony's face also subsided.

Looking at Po with a round face, he took out a Rubik's cube-sized 'toy' that he had prepared for a long time, and pressed the blue center on it. The Rubik's cube quickly moved within a few seconds. Transforms into a pocket version of the armored gauntlet. Playing with the small version of the gauntlet in his hand, Tony began to make a silent threat with Pepper's eyes behind his back.

Such threats, if placed on ordinary children, may really have an effect.

After all, the gauntlet in Tony's hand is only a simplified miniature version of the steel suit he uses.

But still can't deny its cool appearance, especially for a child.

Since the Great War of New York, the Avengers have not only been known to the world, they have also become objects of worship for children.

However, Po, who was standing in front of Tony, was no ordinary child.

It is a child who looks like a child, whose real identity is the one who is stirring up the whole New York and even the world - the mastermind behind the scenes.

With this level of relationship, how could he be easily bewitched by a petty profit in Tony's hands.

Therefore, the big black and white eyes exchanged with the expressive Tony, and Po then straightened his small face and said to Pepper, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just here to deliver food, and I didn't know that Starr was in the office just now. What is Mr. Ke doing..."

"Whoo~"

To be honest, Tony felt a little uneasy in his heart the moment Po opened his mouth.

After all, after the previous series of contacts, he knew how much the kid in front of him couldn't deal with him.

However, A Bao's answer immediately made Tony's heart that he had been holding on suddenly dropped a little.

Looking down at the small gauntlet in his hand, Tony was grateful for his adaptability.

"However, although I didn't hear it all, when I just came to the office, I seemed to hear that Mr. Stark was planning to go somewhere chic at night. I didn't know the specifics, because I'll see later. When I walked in, Mr. Stark said no more."

However, before Tony's heart could be completely let go, A Bao suddenly threw out such a vague answer in a roundabout way. At the end, he blinked his eyes and turned towards the man with a dark face in front of him. Pepper asked, "By the way, ma'am, are you an employee of Mr. Stark's company?"

"Little devil, you..."

Being slapped by Abao, Tony opened his mouth to deny it, but his eyes immediately met Xiao Chili's bad face, and quickly opened the corner of his mouth to explain, "Pepper, you know, since I've been with you. After that, I seldom went out to those messy parties, and during this time I was so focused on research that I didn't have time for this kind of thing."

"Who knows, you're Tony Stark, the famous playboy in New York City."

In response, Pepper twitched the corners of his mouth, his tone getting colder.

Hearing this, Tony knew that no matter what he said next, he obviously couldn't convince Little Pepper to believe in him.

After all, what she said was the truth.

It's just that these titles that he was proud of in the past have now become the soft underbelly of his quarrel with Little Pepper.

Thinking of this, Tony's eyes turned fiercely towards A Bao who was beside him.

For a time, I vaguely felt a little regret for going to provoke this kid.

"Ma'am, it seems that I should go, Mr. Tony Stark does not seem to welcome me to stay here any longer."

Tony's eyes just expressed his emotions, and A Bao on the other side made a look of grievance and moved his footsteps to say.

"Tony!"

Noticing the grievance on Po's face, Little Pepper shouted to Tony almost without thinking.

"A Bao is just a child."

"He's no ordinary kid."

Hearing Pepper's words, Tony couldn't help but reply.

He is being miserable by this child now.

"Don't be afraid, Bao."

Although, as far as the actual situation is concerned, what Tony said is the truth.

But no matter what, Po's small round face is too deceptive, so when he heard Po's words, Pepper spoke without hesitation, watching Tony in front of him comfort him "Tony Stark doesn't welcome you, I welcome you, and from now on come whenever you want, Jarvis."

"I'm here, Miss Pepper."

"Register the access rights of the building for Bao..."

Looking at Tony in front of him, Pepper ordered Jarvis word by word.

"Jarvis!"

Hearing Pepper's words, Tony subconsciously opened his mouth to stop it.

He had already made up his mind just now that he would give up eating Shaomai in the building in order to never see this kid again. How could he allow the other party to freely enter and exit his company building at this moment?

However, the moment the words reached his lips, Tony met Pepper's eyes, fell silent for a while, and finally chose to back down.

Tony's compromise relieved Pepper's original anger somewhat, and through Jarvis gave Po the permission to enter and leave Stark Industries.

Pepper reached out and touched the other's small head, and said softly, "Okay, Po, from now on, you can come in anytime you want to come to Stark Industries, and you don't have to wait for takeout to come in. . However, there are some important research departments within Stark Industries, and you still have to be a little careful and try not to go there if you can."

Although Abao was given permission to enter and exit Stark Industries, Pepper was not completely unreasonable. She asked Jarvis to arrange C-level permissions for Abao, which is to be able to enter and exit some ordinary people in Stark Industries. Locations, offices, staff cafeterias, but more important places, such as the energy research department, require higher access.

"Thank you, ma'am, you are such a good man."

Stark Industry's access permission or something, was not Po's purpose at all. For him, it can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.

Nodding his little head solemnly, he thanked Pepper, and Po then turned his head and looked at Tony next to him.

Or, to be precise, what was in his hands.

"What, kid?"

Aware of Po's gaze, Tony said with a cold face and a bad tone.

Ignoring Tony's cold words, Po silently glanced at Tony's hand, slowly retracted his gaze, and said to Pepper in front of him, "Ma'am, the thing in Mr. Tony Stark's hand is what he promised before. For me, but looking at the situation now, he seems to..."

...

"The members of the Security Council are obviously very dissatisfied with your postponement of the 'Insight Project', Nick..."

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, inside the Tri-Curved Wing Building.

Alexander looked at Nick Fury in front of him and complained.

"Because of your words, all our preparatory work was in vain."

"I know."

Faced with the complaints of his friends, Nick Fury had clearly anticipated, "Don't forget, Alexander, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the executor of the entire "Insight Project", and I am well aware of the impact of the delay." Turning his only intact one eye Scanning the face of Alexander who is no longer young, Nick Fury continued, "But, I know better than this, if I don't do this, I will always be uneasy, the "Insight Project" arrangement is too radical after all, if it can't be done. To be 100% safe, if these weapons in the universe go wrong, it will be a huge disaster for us."

"I know your concerns, Nick, and that's one of the reasons why I'll also help you convince the council to postpone the plan."

In the face of Nick Fury's concerns expressed in his words, Alexander put on a look of support.

"But, you should know, Nick, that there is never a 100% plan in this world. What if the Insight Project's arrangements have never been able to achieve what you hoped?"

The moment he said this, Alexander's eyes met Nick Fury's one eye.

"Then I'd rather stop this plan all the time."

Looking at each other silently with his friend, Nick Fury answered with a clear attitude.

"Until it can do it 100 percent."

"..."

In the office, the two looked at each other silently for a few seconds.

Alexander then retracted his gaze and said helplessly, "Anyway, you owe me a condition."

"certainly."

In this regard, Nick Fury nodded and replied without hesitation.

"I heard that Steve had a tough fight in Hell's Kitchen before."

Getting a "satisfied" reply from Nick Fury, Alexander nodded and then turned the topic to the previous battle between Captain America and the defenders against the "pacifists" and Kim Bin in Hell's Kitchen.

As a member of the Security Council and the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander has the authority second only to Nick Fury in S.H.I.E.L.D., so it is natural to know what the Avengers encountered in Hell's Kitchen.

"In fact, it's not just the captain, Tony Stark was also involved in that battle."

After the hellish battle in Hell's Kitchen, S.H.I.E.L.D. collected the remains of 'pacifist' robots, which were badly damaged, but Nick Fury still drew some clues from them." From Tony Stark's According to the report, the other party has amazing technological strength, and its level is almost no less than Tony Stark himself, and maybe even higher."

"Beyond Tony Stark?"

For the success of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on the "pacifist" robot, Alexander also mastered it all through the spy of Hydra.

However, Alexander couldn't help but be surprised to hear Nick Fury say that the other party's level of technology may be higher than Iron Man.

Tony Stark has always been the target of Hydra's vigilance, and it is such a dangerous existence, but now there has been a mysterious existence no less than Tony Stark.

"What does our superhero Iron Man think about this?"

Although he was surprised inside, on the surface Alexander still maintained his unchanging expression.

"Obviously it's not very good. After the battle in Hell's Kitchen, he also collected a large number of 'pacifist' robot wreckage, obviously with his own purpose."

"In any case, the appearance of these robots also shows that there are still many unknown threats in this world. For example, this mysterious existence that creates 'pacifists' is the target we must be vigilant against. This is also The original intention of the Insight Project was to kill everything in the cradle.”

After some conversation, Alexander turned the topic back to the "Insight Project".

"Yeah, kill everything to the cradle."

Nick Fury silently repeated Alexander's words and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, how many years have we known each other, Alexander?"

"How many years?"

I was a little taken aback by Nick Fury's question, and after thinking about it, Alexander replied with a recollection, "It should be nearly twenty years, right?"

"Twenty years is a long time."

Hearing Alexander's answer, Nick Fury couldn't help but sigh.

"yes."

Following Nick Fury's sigh, Alexander also matched with an expression of reminiscence.

"When I first met you, you even had two eyes."

"I also miss seeing things with two eyes."

Hearing Alexander's words, Nick Fury reached out and touched his eyes, which were covered by the blindfold.

In the office, the expressions of the two of them were reminiscent, but they seemed to be mixed with an inexplicable atmosphere.
