Chapter 65: Malibu No. 10880
(Click, collection, recommendation, attention, dissemination, all kinds of support -_-.) )
Now, here's your chance to get Tony Stark out of the villa.
Just like before, Pepper Potts' luxury car passed Grant's used Ford and headed for Malibu 10880, not far away. This is not an uncommon thing, Grant only glanced at it and lowered his head to continue playing with his new phone. Unexpectedly, the luxury car turned back and parked next to the second-hand Ford.
Putting his doubts behind him for a moment, Grant quickly thought of excuses to deal with the questions he was about to make. As a result, people didn't come to ask questions at all. The window was knocked open, and Pepperpotz said politely, "Sir, Mr. Stark invites you into the villa." ”
At that moment, Grant thought about a lot of possibilities and made a lot of guesses. Finally, he nodded to Pepper.
Then, following Pepper Potts' car, he officially arrived at the door of Tony Stark's villa.
As soon as he passed through the glass door, a ray of light shot out from the wall next to him, sweeping over Grant's body from top to bottom. Looking up at Pepper Pots, who was walking in front, he saw that the other person was looking at him with a formulaic smile on his face.
"It's just a necessary security procedure, please don't mind. I'm going to ask Mr. Stark to come over, and you can have a casual visit, or sit down for a while. ”
Showing Grant the inside of the villa, Pepperpots walked down the stairs. Grant was not polite, and went directly to the innermost part of this floor of the villa, with his back to the sofa, looking out at the invincible sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He believed that there were at least three hidden cameras pointed at him in this space now. He was also glad he didn't bring the pistol that had been on the second-hand Ford. Otherwise, when he was in the light at the door, he would not have been greeted by Pepperpots' smile. He wouldn't think that as one of the richest and most powerful men in the world, Tony Stark's villa didn't have more security. Maybe as soon as he made unnecessary moves, his location would be attacked. Electric shocks are the most likely means, but it is not excluded that several bullets will fly from unknown corners.
Fortunately, Grant came with sincerity, and there would be no conflict.
Probably.
But things seem to be going in a bad direction. After seven or eight minutes of waiting, not only was Tony Stark nowhere to be seen, but Pepperpotz hadn't been seen since he walked up the stairs. There was no servant or anything to come up and ask "what do you want to drink?" The only hospitality Grant received was the electronic voice he heard now.
"Welcome, Mr. Lee. Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts are busy with an important business, so please wait a little longer. Please forgive me for the rudeness. ”
This should be the Jarvis on record in S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark's aI Butler, a super-intelligent system. In the past, Grant didn't have enough authority to know the details, and he didn't know how smart Jarvis really was. Only now just by hearing the electronic voice gave Grant a feeling that Jarvis was alive.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it is an "illusion".
But Grant came to his senses right away. Jarvis's words are not simply to apologize and ask for leave for his master, but also to show strength and warning, that is, to demonstrate. "Mr. Li" will not be said, and the last eight words in the words, "Please forgive me for the strength", were said in Mandarin.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction that had jumped to his chest, Grant continued to wait.
And the man he was waiting for had been watching him through the camera for some time.
"Tony, who is he? Why did you invite him in? And why did you hang him there? ”
Pepper Potz asked three questions in a row, and Tony Stark replied with only one sentence, and with a question mark.
"Pepper, what do you think of this person?"
"How do I know ......"
Pepperpotz subconsciously refused to answer. It's just that when she noticed Tony Stark's frowning brows, she relented a little: "Okay." As an Asian, he's pretty handsome. He looks good when he laughs. He is polite and patient. He looked confident......"
"I ...... That's not supposed to be asking you. Listening to the other party's words, Tony Stark rolled his eyes.
"So you're not going to tell me what's going on?"
Glancing across the screen, Pepper Potz once again focused his gaze on Tony Stark's face. Tony, on the other hand, listened to Grant's movements through the screen and responded to Pepper's words loudly. And a casual look.
"This is Grant Lee, I don't know if it's a former agent or a fitness trainer. I think he had something to do with what I was trapped in. ”
"What?!"
Pepper Potz let out an octave exclamation, then picked up his phone and clicked it. Tony Stark quickly grabbed her.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Call the police!" Worried and in a hurry, Pepper had a natural expression on his face, "This person came to the door today, there must be some conspiracy." We need help. Or I'm going to call the Department of Defense, the FBI, or the cIa. By the way, there's also that homeland strategic defense ......"
"Actually, it wasn't his first day. Lately he's been spending a lot of time near the villa every day, but it's just a different location every time. No, though, there's no need for that. Tony interrupted Pepper's call again, "I don't think he's one of them." He probably has something to tell me......"
"So what are you waiting for?"
This time it was Pepper's turn to interrupt Tony. She grabbed Tony Stark's arm and walked up the stairs to lead him down the hall.
"I, I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. We just had an urgent document to discuss, and we couldn't get out of it for a while. Looking at Grant's back, Pepper was a little embarrassed, "Now Mr. Stark is here." I'm sure you'll have a great conversation. ”
Hearing the voice, Grant withdrew his gaze from the ocean view, turned around, smiled and replied to Pepper, "I think so too." It's just that when he saw Tony Stark sitting on the sofa with a big grin, he couldn't help but pout.
"How many times have we met?"
Tony Stark was the first to ask the question, which stunned Grant for a moment. Then, before he could respond, Tony's voice came again.
"It's not the first time, I get it. You recognize me. In fact I remember the answer, the third time. Remember, this is the third time we've met. Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”
Looks like Pepperpotz is a crow's beak - can the atmosphere be pleasant now!
