On the top floor of the Stark Industrial Building, Ash Xiao was lying on a soft sofa like a ball of marshmallows and watching the Powerpuff Girls playing on the huge monitor in front of him.

He already sensed it when Spider-Man came just now, for no other reason, the strong are obviously different in the crowd. Especially for Ash, it's fine to have no references, and with them, it's not difficult to find a strong soul in a group of weak souls...... When he saw Spider-Man take Tony away, Ash did have the idea of whether to shoot the little guy down with a lightning gun or a dragon hunting bow, but fortunately, at the most critical time, Jarvis dissuaded him, and Ash let go of his desire to attack...... Part of the reason why the spider's spider sense is crazy to wake up when it arrives and leaves is because of this.

Not long after, watching Tony, who was wearing Iron Man armor, come back from outside, seeing this, the ash on the side waved his hand at him in a friendly manner.

Nodding in return, Tony glanced at Parker, who had just run through the crowd and walked in front of Stark's gate but was stopped by the security guard, and shook his head helplessly. "Jarvis, tell the security guard for me and let that little guy in."

"Yes, sir."

After completing the order, Tony glanced at the overturned wine table and sighed again...... This little guy wasted a lot of money...... Although I never cared about money.

"Jarvis, let the babysitter robot clean up."

"Yes, sir."

As he spoke, Tony grabbed another glass of wine, added a few ice cubes, and sat down across from the ashes. Looking at the ashes that were in the middle of watching the cartoon, Tony on the side raised his eyebrows with some curiosity.

"Do you like it?"

"It's fine." Ash didn't feel any discomfort from this, saying, "Their stories are interesting, but sometimes I can't understand their behavior. ”

Nodding, Tony also said nonchalantly: "If you're interested, I'll send you a few figurines when I go back." ”

"Figurines?" Hearing this strange word, Ash tilted his head in confusion. Seeing this, Tony on the side explained: "You can understand it as a trumpet sculpture...... The kind made of resin...... Do you know resin? ”

Hearing Tony's question, the ash on the side nodded and said, "Of course I know!" The teacher who taught me the bow and arrow, Hawkeye Gough, had his eyes sealed with resin. ”

"......" touched the very delicate mustache that had been groomed, and although Tony felt that Ash might have misunderstood something, he didn't delve into this point...... In the previous simple exchange, he found that the ashes were better than he imagined, at least not like the one who rebelled against me and the one who stood in my way died when he was on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

"Hmm...... What exactly are you here for? After a moment's thought, Tony looked at the ashes to the side. Seeing that he was to the point, Ash didn't continue to focus on the flying little witch...... Although that's really appealing (Ash loves this style of art).

And just as Ash was about to say something, Jarvis's slightly mechanical voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Sir, Mr. Peter Parker has arrived."

Raising his eyebrows and glancing at the ashes on his face that didn't care in the slightest, Tony waved his hand: "Then he came in." ”

"Yes, sir."

As Tony's words fell, the elevator door on the side was also opened. He didn't wear a hood, and he was still wearing a rented dress that looked like a very high-end suit, but there were a few more tears and rummaging marks on the suit. At the same time, there was a slight frustration on his face.

"Oh...... Mr. Tony, I'm so unlucky today. A hole was ripped out of the armpit of the suit as he swung around, the work card was lost, and the briefcase that was originally in the toilet was stolen by the bastard......"

Hearing this, looking at Parker, whose face was full of frustration and seemed to be getting worse with the passage of time, Tony on the side shrugged his shoulders and comforted: "Don't worry, there are no people in this building who are greedy for small bargains, you can go to the lost and found place to take a look when you leave." ”

"That's a ......," he said, looking up, and before Parker could finish speaking, he was met by the familiar figure of Ash.

“…… Well...... Not...... Is this your guest? ”

Parker looked at Tony on the side with some caution, he couldn't imagine that this person who had seriously injured Tony a few days ago was sitting here so openly...... You know, Tony's clothes are still wearing small exoskeleton armor to assist in rehabilitation! When I took him out of here, I still had a little pain in my ribs.

Nodding, Tony said calmly, "That's right...... That's my guest. You may not believe it, but it's really my first ...... with him Second Phase ...... The first time was when Fifth Avenue was before. ”

Hearing this, Parker nodded with some understanding. But even though he nodded his head, in fact, his eyes were still full of I didn't understand. But after thinking for a moment, he swallowed. As an official journalist...... He smells the big news!

On the side, looking at the new glimmer of light that rose from Parker's big eyes that were originally full of doubts, Tony on the side felt more and more that it was not a good thing for Parker to go from a temporary reporter to a full-fledged reporter...... Even if it's a small media like the Clarion Daily!

But...... The ability to sense spiders is almost exclusively for the profession of journalists......

Shaking his head, Tony returned his gaze to the ashes on the side, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then waved the wine glass in his hand.

"Would you like some?"

"What's that?"

The Macallan 1946 ...... paused, probably afraid of the ashes and didn't know what it was, and Tony added: "Whiskey." ”

"Whiskey?"

Looking at the ashes in front of him, Tony sighed a little helplessly. He had already begun to wonder if the ashes had escaped from that ravine......

"It's a ......," Tony replied with some weakness, expecting it to surprise Ash. But unfortunately, not only Ash was not surprised, but even Parker on the side looked indifferent, not noticing the seriousness of the problem in the slightest.

"Let's have a drink, then."

Hearing Ash's words, Tony also looked at Parker on the side.

"What about you?"

"Hmm...... I'm only 16, not old enough to drink. ”

"It's okay, there are no cameras here, and I won't call the police."

As he spoke, Tony poured another glass for Parker on the side. And seeing Tony's appearance, Parker naturally couldn't refuse.

Just as Parker took the glass, the ashes on the side had already raised the glass and drank it down. The ice made a clattering sound on his cheeks, and the amber liquor ran down the gap in the armor to his mouth, and the ash shook his head with some emotion after smashing his mouth twice.

"Bland, tasteless."

Hearing the words of the ashes and looking at the cup in front of him, Parker also took a small sip, and then immediately spit out the wine, and stuck out his tongue and said with a bitter face: "It's so strong......"

He'd stolen at most two low-alcohol cocktails before that......

Tony glanced at the whiskey in his hand for a small house with just the bottle in his hand - nothing but that they were ignorant and couldn't say anything else...... In these years, if you want to pretend to be a high-end, you have to pick who the object is.
