In Stark's seafront villa, Tony reclines on a bench with a Perrier-Jouët dry champagne on the table, and the night breeze blows gently to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, creating a soothing atmosphere of serenity and tranquility.

Wearing a simple black dress, Pepper stepped on high heels, pulled open the transparent glass curtain wall, and the refreshing night breeze was refreshing, the shrewd and capable female secretary stroked her blowing hair, and looked at Tony softly.

"Today you should attend the exhibition of Claus Technology, that young and promising boss, Darren Claus also asked me about you."

Pepper bent down, poured himself a glass of champagne, took a sip, and asked softly, "Is there anything memorable?" Let you sit here alone and make a good wine. ”

"Trouble to tell the young boss of Klaus Technologies, thank you for his concern, but I don't have much interest in men."

Tony looked at the Perrier-Jouët on the table and loved the champagne for the simple reason he admired the delicate motif of white anemones and golden rose vines carved on the bottle.

Emily Grey, a master glassmaker who is admired by Tony himself, describes the champagne as rich in aroma, light on the palate, and designed by top artists, making it incomparable inside and out, like a young lady at the Palace of Versailles, who is fascinated by her beauty and purity.

If Sean were here, he would probably understand that the playboy who turned back from the prodigal son, with a lot of awkward words, is essentially nothing more than wanting to show off his taste for fine wine, just like appreciating beautiful women, all of which have an extraordinary elegant style.

"If there's anything good...... Tony muttered for a moment, then stood up and put his arm around Pepper's waist and said softly, "Today is the fifth anniversary of our relationship." ”

The female secretary covered her mouth, a surprised smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were covered with a layer of hazy mist, obviously quite moved.

Although Tony is the number one playboy in New York, he has been wandering for many years, has a remarkable record, and is famous, but after he formalizes his relationship with Pepper, he rarely makes such romantic moves.

Normally, if your boyfriend is a superhero, you'll have to accept that he's going to be late for a candlelit dinner, forget your anniversary, or even be prepared for kidnapping.

Even Tony Stark isn't technically a superhero who puts on steel armor and actively solves problems when he sees a neighbor's kitten jumping into a tree or a bank being robbed.

In his eyes, that's something that the police have to deal with, and Iron Man has to deal with a bigger and more earth-shattering crisis, rather than being a kind neighbor or a babysitter for New Yorkers.

Even so, Pepper would often wake up at night to find Tony running to the studio, fiddling with the steel armor, or suffering from nightmares, anxiety, and even knowing that one day, a missile would fly in and blow up his home......

To sum up, as a superhero's girlfriend, you must at least have good ability to work under pressure, and a big heart.

"Dr. Wilson said I don't need to go to psychotherapy in the future, and he thinks my anxiety is better."

Tony hugged Pepper, who worked hard for him and took care of the company, with a rare smile on his increasingly mature face.

Sean often said that he left Tony Stark's soul in a damp cave in Afghanistan, and that it was only Iron Man who returned to New York, a poor guy who was insecure and needed to protect himself with armor at all times.

Stark didn't like this because it was right, like a beam of light piercing through all his disguises, clearly reflecting his true heart.

"Ultron healed me, it gave me enough security."

Tony let go of his hand, and after the launch of the Ultron program, he got rid of the anxiety that had been hanging over him for a long time, and he thought that a perfect artificial intelligence would make the world a better place.

"Susan kept complaining to me that Reed only had work in mind, that he had just finished developing Ultron and had gone to Chicago again, and that he didn't care about her feelings."

Pepper digressed at the right time, she didn't want to talk about work and affect the relaxed atmosphere of the moment.

Reed...... He's a perfect assistant, especially when he's dedicated to research, but otherwise ......."

Tony shrugged, and once the passion for this fantastic man's work exploded, even he would be ashamed of himself.

"But the space base project promoted by S.H.I.E.L.D. is really enough to attract any scientist in the world, just like the Manhattan Project."

In the last century, the Manhattan Project, led by the United States, concentrated the best scientists in Western countries at that time, and Robert Oppenheimer, one of the leaders, was later known as the "father of the atomic bomb", won a high reputation, and is still regarded as a giant in the field of physics.

Every scholar with a passion and pursuit of science will not refuse to join this great project that will leave a strong mark on the history of mankind.

Even Tony himself, if it weren't for the Ultron program that still had to be closely watched, he might have been the first volunteer to take the initiative.

"Then why did you ask Stark Industries to start actively acquiring or holding shares in some large enterprises?"

Although Pepper didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, she couldn't help but ask thinking of Tony's recent actions in terms of corporate decision-making.

In the past, Tony would not actively participate in the company's decision-making at all, but later Stark Industries began to transform, and this top genius with a brilliant mind gradually learned to share some of the pressure for Pepper.

"Times are different, and I saw in advance the changes that the world is going through, an unprecedented upheaval...... So I'm going to prepare in advance. ”

Tony has a confident glint in his eyes, he has always been a smart person, so he is often the first to predict the changes in events.

"If you have paid close attention to Ambrera, you will find that this scientific research institution, which has been hailed by the media as the 'cradle of science and technology that changed human history', has already started a large-scale merger and acquisition, and it is much more barbaric than us."

"I didn't notice this, I just knew that Ambrera's financial statements were beautiful, which made many investors want to give money to Sean with money in their hands."

Pepper caressed Tony's cheek with a look of fascination on his face, the most charming charm of genius is self-confidence, and the men of the Stark family have never lacked this.

"The World Security Council has adopted the Strategic Defense Plan for the Nine Star Domains and is ready to begin the development of the Moon...... Do you know what that means? A new era of interstellar colonization and space migration is coming. ”

Tony took a deep breath, and even with his pride, he couldn't help but admire Sean for single-handedly pushing the whole world forward.

"At that time, the concept of nations will become more and more blurred, and people will be more enthusiastic about developing the planet, like the adventurers of the Age of Discovery, hoping to get a golden treasure from it...... Whether it is military business or new energy, Stark Industries relies on the power of the government, but after human beings enter the sea of stars, they will change from individuals to collectives. ”

"So we have to be like Ambrera, to become a huge collection of interests, similar to a monopoly organization of trusts, so that we can be invincible."

Tony looks at the endless night sky, so he's going to develop the Ultron program, a perfect artificial intelligence that won't go out of style even by the time humanity enters the interstellar age.

On the contrary, the influence that Ultron can exert will be even greater, which is the cornerstone of Stark Industries' survival, and the acquisition or holding of some large enterprises, especially those with core technologies such as Claus Technology, is to form a monopoly interest group, just like a big tree to make its roots deeper.

"What exactly does Sean want to do?"

Pepper asked softly as she snuggled into Tony's arms.

"Few people could guess what he was thinking...... Speaking of which, I found out that Kraus Technologies used to be called Pym Jobs, and that Dr. Hank Pym, a famous biochemist, is said to have discovered a subatomic particle named after himself at the age of thirty, which can change objects...... These are all things I found in the internal archives of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Tony seemed to remember something, he didn't know about Hank-Pym's feud with his father, he was simply surprised.

Part of the reason why Stark Industries put Claus Technologies at the top of the list of partners is that it wants to get its hands on the cutting-edge technology of the Pym particle.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there are still not many geniuses like Dr. Pym.

Tony has paid special attention to the other party's materials, has a Ph.D. in biochemistry, and has also made great achievements in quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and entomology.

"I knew I should have Dr. Pym on board my work on the development of the Oct program."

He looked at Pepper with a sweet face and said in a joking tone.
