Chapter 20: Tony's Apology
"This is the New York Post, and last night, Stark Corporation CEO Tony Stark had an accident during an experiment, and Stark's house was badly damaged. Fortunately, Tony Stark himself was not injured. According to our correspondents...... "
In Stark Manor, an undamaged villa, Tony Stark sips Pepper's prepared artisanal coffee while watching the news on TV.
After Obadiah fired the booster rocket, because the metal skeleton of the leg was vigorously dismantled by Wang, the explosion of the rocket affected the Iron Overlord, causing his internal current to be disordered.
Obadiah, who was powered by a small nuclear reactor for more than ten seconds, naturally died and could not die again.
"By the way, what about the Mighty King? Why did he disappear last night? ”
Switching to a different station, Tony asked Pepper next to him.
"Dali said that it was already late, and my aunt would be worried if I didn't go back."
"Uh......"
Looking at the anticipation in Pepper's eyes, Tony Stark secretly scolded himself for mentioning what Wang Dali was doing, and hurriedly said.
"Help me make an appointment with him, the time is set for noon today, let's go out for lunch together."
……
Pushing the time forward by ten hours, when Wang Dali returned to his apartment in Manhattan from Stark's house, he saw Catherine, who looked a little depressed and was sitting in the living room munching on pizza.
"What's wrong, Darling? What's wrong? ”
Sitting down next to Catherine, Wang vigorously picked up a piece of pizza on the table. Anyway, from this morning until now, he hasn't had lunch or dinner except for a cup of coffee in the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau.
"It's nothing, it's just that the job search didn't go well."
Seeing Wang Dali, who had gone out for a day and came back inexplicably without his shirt, Catherine raised her eyebrows and told Wang Dali about her experience today.
"Not long after you left this morning, I went to the New York Times, and it was okay at first, but as soon as I heard that I was married, the other party immediately changed his face, and the New York Post was the same. I said vigorously, are all you men so virtuous? ”
"That's because my Darling is so beautiful!"
At this time, of course, Wang Dali could not say, 'Yes, men are so virtuous', but praised Catherine's beauty. And said that if Catherine was not happy, he could go to the New York Times and New York Post and put their boss in a sack and beat him.
"Forget it, you don't need this."
Hearing Wang Dali say this, Catherine couldn't help but smile, and most of the depression and unhappiness in her heart disappeared at once.
"What about you, why don't you even have clothes when you go out?"
"It's Pepper's business, let me help Tony Stark."
Regarding the battle with the Iron Overlord, Wang Dali was reluctant to say more. After getting married, Catherine was afraid that she would have a little strength and fight bravely with others. It wasn't like this before we got married.
"The matter has been resolved, but my clothes are burned. I'm going to get Tony that guy reimbursed tomorrow. ”
Catherine didn't cry or make trouble about Wang Dali's perfunctory, only glanced at him lightly, and asked him to disarm and surrender with a single sentence.
"If you don't make it clear, you won't even want to go to my bed this month."
"Okay, okay, I surrender, I'll tell you from beginning to end."
was threatened by Catherine like this, and Wang Dali was immediately instigated. Starting today, he took the initiative to go to the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau to find a commission, and continued until he came back from the settlement of Obadiah.
After finishing speaking, Wang Dali took Catherine, who was expressionless and didn't know what she was thinking, in his arms and kissed her gently.
"Don't worry about me, Catherine. I'm very strong. For your sake, I'm not going to take commissions that seem dangerous. ”
"You've said that, what else can I say?"
Catherine sighed slightly, raised her head to look carefully at Wang Dali's exposed upper body, and gently swiped her right hand over his abdominal muscles.
"But no matter what, you must remember that there is still me at home waiting for you to come back."
"Catherine ......"
"Vigorously ......"
The eyes of the two people who looked at each other slowly became hot, and their bodies got closer and closer.
The moonlight was beautiful today, so the photographer moved the camera to the moon.
……
In the box of a high-end steakhouse, there are only four people: Tony, Pepper, Wang Dali and Catherine. After ordering the meal, the waiter was asked to leave temporarily, and under Pepper's continuous signals, Tony Stark bowed his head to Wang Dali with some reluctance.
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake that day, I want to apologize to you."
But before Wang could answer vigorously, Stark immediately raised his head, regained his nature, and said again.
"But you also have a responsibility, if you could have spoken to me well at the time, then there wouldn't have been so many things that followed."
"Tony!"
For Tony's appearance, Pepper is really angry and funny, just like a child who doesn't admit defeat.
"It's in the past and I didn't take it to heart."
Shaking his head, Wang vigorously picked up the iced lemonade on the table and said to Tony Stark.
"But relatives belong to relatives, and business belongs to business. For Pepper's sake, I won't take your money this time. Not next time. ”
"Business?"
Regarding Wang Dali's statement, Tony frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Sincerely fight terrorist organizations, capture super criminals, eliminate abnormal creatures, investigate supernatural phenomena, etc., including but not limited to commissions, and the price is negotiable."
“……”
What the heck?!
Regarding the long list of words Wang Dali said, Tony Stark felt that he must have seen the fake Wang Dali.
Isn't he a taciturn, indifferent, and resolute bodyguard, when did he start to do everything?
But no matter what, Wang Dali's strength is still there. Even Tony Stark has to admit that in addition to being able to fly, his Mark 1 is no harder than a plastic toy in the other party's hands.
"Okay, I'll remember, and I'll take care of your business later."
"I think it can be done now."
Wang Dali pointed to Tony Stark's chest, the small reactor that was blocked by his clothes.
"Tony, you're dying, aren't you?"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Pepper's eyes widened and he looked at Tony Stark beside him in panic.
"Tony, what's going on?"
"How is that possible, Pepper, do you look like I'm going to die?"
When Wang Dali said this, Tony Stark's face was ugly, and he quickly explained to Pepper, but in exchange for the other party's suspicious eyes.
"Tony, you're lying to me!"
After staring into each other's eyes and noticing some of Tony's small movements, Pepper's eyes quickly turned red.
"I've been with you for so long, if you're lying to me, I can tell at a glance!"
