Tony Stark was helped off the transport plane by Colonel James Roddy, and although he looked a little bad, his face looked good and he was still in good spirits, and this scene was filmed by a reporter from CNN TV who did not know how to enter the military airport.

As soon as Tony Stark got off the plane, he saw the female secretary, Miss Potts, standing pitifully there, followed by Stark's bodyguard Hogan.

Stark looked at Pepper and said with some emotion: "Your eyes are red, and you shed tears for your long-missing boss?" ”

"It's because I'm happy, I hate to look for a job again." Pepper Potts knew she was losing her temper, but she was still very hard-mouthed.

"Alright, the holiday is over." Tony Stark didn't argue with Pepper, there was no need, the pitiful and touching appearance of this woman just now had been deeply reflected in his mind.

"Where are you going, sir?" Hogan sat in the driver's seat and asked Stark, who was sitting in the back seat, through the rearview mirror.

Pepper poked his head a little and said, "Please take us to the hospital......"

"Nope." Tony Stark interrupted Pepper, who didn't want to go to the hospital at the moment.

"No?" Pepper looked at Stark with some puzzlement, no matter what the reason was, she subconsciously persuaded, "Tony, you have to go to the hospital." ”

"Nothing is a must!" Stark turned his head to look at Pepper and said with a resolute expression: "I have been locked up for three whole weeks, and now I only want to do two things, eat an American cheeseburger and ...... the other."

Before Stark could finish speaking, Pepper had already guessed what he wanted to say, and immediately refused: "That can't be." ”

Pepper looked disgusted, and with what she knew about Tony Stark, this playboy's favorite thing besides eating was to find women. She came back from that bad place in Afghanistan and thought not about a hospital examination, but about going to a woman, why didn't he just die outside!

"You thought of it." Stark sighed lightly and said, "It's not what you think, you can help me hold a press conference right away." ”

Before Pepper had time to blush at his crankiness, he quickly asked, "Press conference, for what?" ”

"Alright, Hogan, drive, let's go get a cheeseburger first." Stark ignored Pepper's questioning and let Hogan drive the car, which quickly drove out of the military airport.

Outside the airport, more reporters had already received the news and rushed over, and when they saw Stark's car coming out, they hurriedly held their cameras and kept shooting, and some people stretched out the microphone and shouted: "Mr. Stark, can you answer a few questions?" ”

Stark ignored these people, and now the first thing he wanted to do was find a place to eat a cheeseburger.

With Pepper's ability, he helped Tony Stark prepare the press conference venue in just half an hour.

When Stark arrived at the venue by car, Obadiah Stein, who had already received the news, was already waiting outside, and as soon as he saw Tony, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, gave Stark a hug very kindly, and said with concern: "Tony, I'm so happy to see that you're okay." I thought you were still in the hospital, look at you. ”

Stark ignored Obadiah Stein, and after letting go, he wiped his mouth with a tissue, turned around and took a burger from Hogan's hand, and walked straight into the press room.

"It's a cheeseburger, and you've got to eat a burger. Do you have my share? Obadiah Stan smiled a little helplessly, Tony Stark liked burgers and was as famous as he liked women.

"I'm sorry, there's only one last one left, it's just mine." Stark finished a burger in two bites and walked into the press room.

The appearance of Tony Stark made the reporters present excited. You know, in the news circle, almost all journalists know that wherever Tony Stark appears, there will be news, and it is often big news.

"Look who's coming." Obadistein stood aside and raised his hands and applauded, and the others applauded in good spirits, after all, it was a miracle that Tony Stark was able to get out of the hands of the terrorists anyway.

Pepper stood aside and sighed softly, looking relieved, not to mention her personal relationship with Stark, whose return alone had freed her from heavy work.

In the three weeks that Tony Stark was captured by the terrorists, Stark Industries' stake has almost fallen off a cliff, and now the company's stake has fallen by 67 percent, and if Stark does not show up again, it is very likely that it will fall below 50 percent.

Of course, the stock market movement is naturally hidden from Pepper's eyes, and the special suppression of Stark Industries stock by Hammer Industries and another force is the direct cause of all these consequences.

Of course, Pepper is also suspicious of Obadith Stein, and his understanding of Stark Industries is far greater than that of Tony Tucker himself, and Pepper knows who is the pillar of Stark Industries, and Obadistein's inaction in this matter is also one of the reasons for the decline in the stock market, which makes Pepper can't help but be suspicious of Obadistein.

But now it's not important for the time being, Tony Stark's return has made all the troubles go away in an instant, and Pepper can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But the poor girl could not have imagined that the press conference she had organized today was the beginning of another disaster.

Just as Tony Stark was receiving the cheers of the crowd, a voice suddenly sounded in Pepper's ears: "Miss Potts? ”

"Yes." Pepper quickly restrained his emotions and turned to look at the middle-aged man in a crisp dark suit.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" The middle-aged man had a pleading face.

"I wasn't involved in the conference, but it's going to start soon." Pepper politely declined the middle-aged man's request.

The middle-aged man smiled lightly, and while handing over his business card, he said, "I'm not a reporter, I'm Detective Phil Coulson, from the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. ”

"It's a mouthful." Pepper has little interest in this federal agency, which has not even heard the name.

After all, capital is king in the United States, and even in front of the federal agencies of the FBI, CIA, and DEA, Stark Industries is treated equally.

"I know, we're already looking for ways to improve." Coulson couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, Pepper wasn't the first to spit on this.

Pepper's eyes were always on Stark, and to Coulson, she just said casually: "DOD, FBI, CIA, etc., have already approached us......"

Coulson didn't care about Pepper's attitude, and he said earnestly: "We're a more independent department, and our functions are a little bit more special. We need Mr. Stark to know the details of his escape. ”

"I'll write it down, okay?" Pepper was a little impatient, but politely agreed.

"Thank you." The task was completed, and Coulson naturally had no interest in looking at the cold faces of others, so he turned around and walked to the side.

At this time, Coulson suddenly saw Ling Xiao who appeared here at an unknown time. I saw Ling Xiao wearing a blue jacket and a baseball cap on his head, although he did some cover-up, Coulson still recognized him at a glance.

"Hey, Ling, why are you here?" Coulson walked up to Ling Xiao and asked with some curiosity.

Ling Xiao smiled, he was not surprised by Coulson's appearance, he greeted very easily, "Hello, Agent Coulson." ”
