Lee Winter had never cooked in such an eerie atmosphere.
I've never eaten in such a terrible atmosphere.
Originally, according to Li Winter's plan, she should sit at her pearly white dining table at this moment, serve the boiled chicken soup, and chat happily with T'Challa, who had been sitting opposite for a long time, while drinking soup.
ββIt's definitely not like it is now, you can even hear the sound of the spoon resting on the porcelain bowl.
Lee Winter: Oh my God, am I really eating instead of attending a solemn funeral?
She couldn't bear it anymore and had to say out, "Mr. Stark, have you eaten enough?" β
Tony Stark then pulled his gaze away from Bruce Wayne: "Well, of course not, Winter, please bring me another bowl of soup." β
Winder: I want you to say you're full, so I'll pack up the dishes and go back to the hotel.
However, Tony Stark had already said so, and Lee Winter had no choice but to take his bowl and help him scoop another bowl of soup. But Bruce Wayne heard Tony call her and couldn't help but speak.
Bruce Wayne: "I'm sorry, what did you just call her?" β
Tony Stark said slowly, "Winter, how's that, what's the problem?" β
Bruce Wayne was expressionless: "Of course not, I'm just curious why my assistant knows the famous Iron Man." β
Tony Stark was unceremonious: "I'm also curious why she came to work at Wayne Group." β
Lee Winter: "...... I'm sorry to interject. β
As she handed the soup bowl to Tony, she couldn't help but say, "You've known each other for a long time?" β
Bruce Wayne: "Stark Industries used to have a good military industry. β
Tony Stark: "Gotham is the Wayne Group. β
Lee Winter: "...... It seems to be a recognition. β
Bruce Wayne: "No, we don't know each other. β
Tony Stark: "How can you have such a terrible idea!" β
T'Challa sighed: "It seems that it is indeed an acquaintance. β
Lee Winter: "......"
Bruce Wayne tried to change the subject: "I don't know what happened to Stark Industries, the military industry opened up by Mr. Howard Stark is indeed an unborn genius, and many of the innovative weapons he invented are still unsurpassed. It would be a pity to close this line abruptly. β
Tony Stark: "...... Excuse me, I thought I had changed careers for a long time? Do people still think I'm an arms dealer? β
Bruce Wayne: "...... If I'm not mistaken, you're Iron Man? The most dangerous weapon holder in the world? β
βExcusemeοΌβ Tony Stark put down his spoon and stared at the man in front of him, "Mr. Wayne, I heard you right, you said the word danger?" β
"With all due respect, anyone without professional training can become a super-soldier just by wearing it - isn't that dangerous?" Bruce Wayne spoke, "Or do I have a different understanding of danger than your Excellency?" β
"I'm sorry, my Iron Suit is never sold to the outside world, I'm the only Iron Man." Tony Stark said politely, "And in my opinion, my armor is much safer than the monsters of Gotham Night." β
"What do you call him? Batman? Knights of Justice? β
"Aha! Isn't a guy who can take down a mercenary army with his bare hands more dangerous than the armor I lie in the warehouse? β
Bruce Wayne: "......"
Bruce Wayne took a deep breath, "Mr. Starkβ"
Li Wintert served the last dessert with a blank face: "Yangzhi nectar, eat it quickly, and go back to your own house after eating." β
Bruce Wayne: "......"
Tony Stark: "Hey! Winter, which team are you on?! β
"I'm standing in T'Challa, sir." Lee Winter was a little frustrated by Tony Stark's sudden naivety, "At least he's already helping me wash the dishes while you're arguing." β
T'Challa, who was studying alone outside the home, clearly had a well-rounded life skills.
Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne fell silent when they saw the young man in the kitchen rinsing and drying his hands.
After eating dessert and tidying up the kitchen, Lee Winter picked up his bag and said goodbye to Tony Stark: "Then Mr. Stark, I'll go first." In the fridge I saved for you tomorrow's breakfast, you remember to eat. β
Tony, who was sitting on the sofa boringly watching the TV program, widened his eyes when he heard this: "Hey, where are you going?" β
Li Wintert looked puzzled: "I went to the hotel where T'Challa lived, and he helped me book a room." β
"What?" Tony Stark had a mouthful of blood in his throat, "Do you really think I bought this apartment for myself?" β
Leewint's face was calm: "But you're Tony Stark?" β
If it's Tony Stark, then whatever he's done isn't weird, right......?
Tony Stark choked to death by this sentence, he was convinced by Li Winter, stood up, and patted her on the shoulder: "I bought the house, but it is for you to live in, you stay, I will go." β
Lee Winter: "Huh?! β
Tony Stark waved his hand: "No thanks. Saying that, he said to T'Challa: "Hey young man, where did you book the hotel, how about the room number for me?" β
T'Challa smiled, "Royal Hotel 1102, it should barely meet your requirements." β
Tony Stark patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the room with him to wait for the elevator. Suddenly, Tony Stark caught a glimpse of Bruce Wayne leaving, but instead of walking towards the elevator, he went in the other direction, and couldn't help frowning: "Mr. Wayne, it's not early, aren't you going home?" β
Hearing this, Bruce Wayne looked back, he took out his key and raised an eyebrow: "Go home?" Yes, of course I'm ready to go home. β
"I'm staying in a different room on this floor."
Bruce Wayne states the facts: "Maybe you didn't notice, but the building's name is Wayne. β
"And I'm Bruce Wayne."
Tony Stark: ".................."
Iron Man cursed secretly, pressed his built-in headphones and said, "Jarvis, how long will it take to buy this building!?" β
Jarvis's voice was as calm as ever: "If it's New York, it only takes 30 seconds, Sir." But this is Gotham City. β
"IMHO, their boss lives here, and the Wayne Group won't sell it."
Tony Stark has never felt that being rich is such a nuisance.
Without hesitation, he pressed the button on the elevator floor and ordered, "Then pay for NYU to repair their building!" Our 'Prophet' has been in Gotham long enough! β
The next morning, Winter Lee was washing up and getting ready for work, but she had just left the house and met Bruce Wayne.
Li Winter couldn't help but be very surprised: "Mr. Wayne? β
Bruce Wayne bowed, "Good morning, Lee. β
Lee Winter was a little incoherent: "Why are you here, I mean-"
"I live next door to you." Bruce Wayne explained, "I didn't have a chance to sue you yesterday. β
Hearing this, Li Winter couldn't help but think, it's over, if Tony found out yesterday, he must be quite angry. In addition to the car, the first thing I actually saw was Batman's house.
Lee Winter: ...... Let's hope Mr. Stark didn't find out.
As Lee Winter thought so, Bruce Wayne suddenly pulled out a small packet of beautifully wrapped cookies from his coat pocket. He placed the dessert in the palm of Liewin's hand.
"Last night's thanks." Bruce Wayne said, "Afu made cookies and said hello to my new neighbors. β
"Thank you, thank you." Li Wente took the snack box and said, "By the way, did you have breakfast today?" Why don't I give you half of it? β
Bruce Wayne's voice was gentle: "Thank you. β
Li Wente smiled: "Xie is not necessary, but can I increase my salary?" β
Bruce was a little curious: "You need money urgently?" β
Li Winter nodded honestly: "I want to see if there is a suitable house." β
Bruce Wayne: "......"
Bruce: "The pay quota company has a clear policy, sorry, Lee. β
Lee Winter was a little disappointed, but Batman added.
Bruce said, "Lee, the explosion of your house was not an accident. β
Lee Winter: "? β
Bruce said, "The Joker's followers didn't know where they got your news and installed timed dynamite in your house. I think he meant to kill you, but you happened to be away from home that day and escaped. β
"So, whatever considerations Mr. Stark is in." Bruce Wayne pressed the elevator, "This is the safest place in Gotham. β
"For safety reasons, even if you don't want to, I'm afraid you can only live here."
"I think both of them are right." After signing the contract with the Wayne Group, T'Challa sat in the conference room on the third floor of the Wayne Group and calmly analyzed, "If Gotham's clown is eyeing you, I'm afraid the security of the Wayne Group can't be trusted, and personally, I support you to take a temporary leave of absence and return to New York." β
"After all, New York has Iron Man and the Avengers, and the Joker can't mess around."
Li Winter sighed, "Gotham also has Batman?" β
T'Challa looked at her, "But Gotham only has Batman." β
Li Vent always felt that T'Challa was not an ordinary person, and he had never heard of the fact that the country's expatriates could sign commercial contracts with enterprises on behalf of the state. But T'Challa didn't say anything, and Lee Winter didn't ask.
When T'Challa had finished his business, he said goodbye to Lee Winter, and told her that if he needed help, he would not be stingy, and hoped that Lee would succeed in his studies.
Lee Winter said goodbye to T'Challa, and before he could get back to his office, he heard Tony Stark's voice.
She was a little surprised: "Mr. Stark, didn't you go back to New York?" β
Tony Stark said, "I forgot there's one more thing I haven't done. β
He approached in a few steps, took out a thin scanner from his pocket, pressed Liwin's head to make her move, and used the scanner to carefully sweep all of Liewin's brainwaves in.
After the number was entered, he had time to ask, "Do you have the 'Winter Spear' I gave you with you?" β
Li Winter was stunned for a moment: "What? Do you mean that silver hand/gun? β
Tony Stark's movements froze, and he looked at Lee Winter in disbelief: "You just call it 'hand/gun'?" β
Li Wintert decisively cut over the topic: "Yes, I have always carried it, do you want to see it?" β
"No, Gotham is not safe, you take care to protect yourself." Tony Stark asked, "Have you had any abnormalities lately?" β
Li Winter carefully recalled for a moment: "No, there was only one overuse, and it was a little out of strength. She was a little worried, "Is this normal?" β
"Normal." Tony retracted the number of jΓΉ with a relaxed expression, "The number of jΓΉ will not lie." β
Li Wintert suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Great. β
Tony Stark reminded, "But Gotham is really not peaceful, try not to get out of Bruce Wayne's sight." β
Lee Winter: "Huh? β
Tony Stark's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, but the words he said were as bad as usual: "Since I can be Iron Man, it's not difficult to guess who he is." Bruce Wayne has never been with the Dark Knight, has he? β
Li Winter almost knelt down for Tony's great and rapid judgment, if she didn't know that she was the one who opened the hanging, she probably thought that the Iron Man in front of her was the biggest plug-in!
Iron Man said, "But it's still hard for me to understand, why did you work for Bruce Wayne?" This guy's personality is terrible! β
Lee Winter: ?? Isn't that a bit of a half-hearted?
"Because I want to buy myself the highest amount of life insurance, you know, no matter where you are, the world is not very peaceful." β
Iron Man looked at her with a look of "hell".
He stopped talking several times before he could say a word: "...... S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't apply for a social security account for you? β
Windett: "Actually, I only have a ID card that represents my identity. β
Iron Man turned his back on his face, and it took a long time to straighten out his breath, he raised his hand and looked at Li Winter seriously: "Let me confirm with you again, you work for Bruce Wayne, just for an insurance?" β
Li Winter thought for a moment: "And the salary. β
Billionaire Iron Man: "......"
Tony Stark didn't hesitate to say, "New York University will be fixed in a week, resign!" Go home! β
"Now give me your bank account number, how much does Bruce Wayne pay you? I give tenfold! β
"Jarvis, take care of the insurance for Winter!"
βYesοΌsirγβ Jarvis's voice came out of Tony's phone in a coordinated manner, "It's insured, Miss Winter can check your text messages." β
Li Wente looked at the information sent by an insurance company on his mobile phone to prove the success of the insurance, and the whole person was in a state of shock.
She looked at the particularly tall Iron Man in front of her, and her enthusiasm turned into four words.
- Tony's Daddy!!
