The next day, Insente, who was opening the shop as usual, looked at Colonel Rhodes who appeared on the TV news and showed a very strange expression.

"I regret to announce that during yesterday's combat training exercise, an F22 fighter jet crashed, and I am relieved that our pilot was not injured."

"As for the unidentified explosion in the Gemira region of Afghanistan, it is still unclear who or which force is involved, but I can assure you that the U.S. government has nothing to do with it."

So, Bulb Man was still discovered by the Air Force, and he still crashed into a fighter jet, right...... The lucky pilot, was he rescued, or did the parachute not jam this time?

Insainte raised his eyebrows, looked at the serious-looking Colonel Rhodes on the TV, and couldn't help but snort: It's okay to use the excuse that the street is rotten, but you still have to put these two things together and say, are you afraid that others will not associate it?

At the same time, on the coast of New Jersey, Tony Stark, who also saw the news, crooked his mouth and complained: "Roddy, Roddy, Roddy, it's not as simple as I said?" You haven't used this excuse yet......"

"Sir, the model has been built."

With Jarvis's unique electronic sound, it sounded in Tony Stark's studio, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. Quin-style fighter plane built a three-dimensional virtual model in the form of projection, and appeared in front of Tony Stark.

After flying hard in a steel suit for more than ten hours, Tony Stark, who was really an old sin, has now realized that if he plans to fly long distances, it is better to have a comfortable car......

"Garbage, garbage, garbage."

Tony Stark stretched out his arm and slid his fingers left and right on the virtual model of the Quint fighter, and after a while, the entire shell of the fighter model in front of him was thrown into the virtual trash can by him, leaving only the internal backbone frame and the core technology of the fighter - the turbojet engine that can make the fighter take off and land vertically and hover in the air.

Thinking of his steel suit and the need to use drag ailerons to assist in deceleration when landing, Tony Stark had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Jarvis, the model of Mark III." ”

"Yes, sir."

With the projection of the steel suit, it appeared next to the model of the Kun fighter, Tony Stark instantly put the idea of building an airplane behind him, rotated the virtual model in front of him, looked at the back armor of the suit, and muttered to himself: "Shrinking to the right size, it should be able to solve it, but if you add a pair of turbojet engines, the energy supply per unit of time, I'm afraid it will be a little tight......"

"I need a higher power Ark reactor......"

At this time, there was a gentle push on the door from behind Tony Stark, and it was none other than his nominal assistant to the CEO, but in fact his personal assistant, Pepper Potts, who walked into the studio.

“HEY。”

Tony Stark said hello softly, since his bullet-riddled armor image was seen by Pepper Potts yesterday, the atmosphere between the two has been a little delicate, and he felt inexplicably weak, and his tone at this time was not like a boss at all: "Are you busy?" ”

Pepper Potts stepped forward silently, looked at the projection of Tony Stark's suit, unconsciously crossed his hands on his waist, and only took a pair of big eyes that could speak, staring at Tony Stark without speaking.

Tony Stark rarely avoided eye contact, hung his head slightly, and commanded himself: "I need you to go to my office at the headquarters, hack into the company's main server, and get all the recent shipment information." ”

As he spoke, Tony Stark handed Pepper Potts a black USB flash drive: "This is the unlock chip needed to hack the host, what you are looking for should be in the administrative documents, if you don't find it, it is hidden by them, if so, you have to start with the smallest drive letter number." ”

Pepper Potts looked down and glanced at the black USB flash drive in his hand: "So, what are you going to do after I get back the information you need?" ”

"Same thing."

Tony Stark was still avoiding eye contact, staring at the virtual model of Mark III, and returned without raising his head: "There are people in the company who have been making shady deals, I have to stop them, I will find the arms I made like last time, and destroy everything!" ”

"Tony ......"

After Pepper Potts called out Tony Stark's name, he showed a wry smile with a worried look: "You know, I'm willing to do anything for you, but if you want to do that again, I can't do what you ask." ”

"There's nothing else you need to do other than that."

Hearing this, Tony Stark, who had his back to Pepper Potts, finally turned his head and met her gaze: "There is no art opening, no charity, no contract signing, some are just the next mission, and nothing else!" ”

"If so......"

Pepper Potts waved his arm lightly and dropped the USB flash drive in his hand with a "click": "Then, I quit my job." ”

"Over the years that I have used 'destruction' to profit, you have always stood by my side and supported me."

Tony Stark looked at Pepper Potts, who turned and left, and shouted excitedly, "And now, when I want to protect those who have been hurt because of me, you are going to leave?" ”

"You're going to kill yourself, Tony!"

Pepper Potts turned around, his expression also a little excited: "I will never mix it up!" ”

"I should have died a long time ago, but I'm alive now, and it shouldn't be a ...... for no reason"

Tony Stark lowered his tone and began to dig out his heart for the first time: "Pepper, I'm not crazy, I just finally understand how my future path should go, and I also know from the bottom of my heart that this is an extremely correct path." ”

“……”

Pepper Potts stared at Tony Stark silently for a long time, sighed softly helplessly, took two steps forward, and picked up the USB stick she threw on the table again.

"You know, I don't have anyone else but you."

After Pepper Potts dropped this sentence, he left the studio without looking back, and Tony Stark watched her leave in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time......

He knew very well in his heart that Pepper was telling him that if she lost him, she would have nothing......

At this moment, Tony Stark also clearly realized that his playboy career was over......
