On the top floor of Stark Tower, Tony was sitting in his room, looking at the rows of rows on the computer, two handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"Jarvis, how's the number of energy shields calculated?" Rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, Tony stretched out and asked a little lazily.

Since seeing Susan's abilities yesterday, Tony has had the idea of adding an energy shield to his armor, after all, this energy shield can provide some protection when he can't dodge certain attacks.

This is very important to Tony!

After all, unlike Hodge, Parker, and Wade, he doesn't have any strong combat power, and without armor, he's just an ordinary rich man.

"It's been calculated, Sir, do you need me to analyze it for you?"

"Let's take a mock test, just show me the test report later." Tony wasn't ready to listen to Jarvis's analysis, and got up to pour himself a glass of wine to refresh himself.

But Tony had just stood up when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated a few times.

Tony was stunned, retracted the steps he had just taken, and turned to pick up his phone.

When Tony saw the text message Hodge had sent him, his expression suddenly became extremely strange, but Tony didn't like to play riddles with people.

Not understanding what Hodge meant by the text message he sent him, Tony called Hodge directly.

Compared with guessing by yourself, the speed of asking me directly is obviously faster and more convenient.

Downstairs, not long after Hodge sent out a text message. Then I heard my phone ring. Don't think about it, Hodge knows who called him.

"Hodge, what do you mean by texting me? Why don't I understand? ”

Hodge just connected. Tony's confused voice came over the phone.

"It's literal." Hodge glanced cautiously at Liana beside him, then whispered.

"Literally?"

Tony looked at his phone and said in surprise, "You're just trying to get me to send a 'I won't be out today'?" ”

"Please, I'm fine, I won't make such a boring announcement." Tony didn't say anything and said no outright.

"Hey, Tony, you're going to help me, you can't make me wait for you downstairs for an hour. Then even your people won't be able to see the gray slip away. Seeing Tony's refusal, Hodge quickly pretended to be pitiful.

"What? Are you downstairs from me? Why don't you just come up? When Hodge said that he was downstairs, Tony was also shocked. didn't think much about it, and directly asked Jarvis to release the surveillance footage downstairs.

Tony looked at the computer screen and watched Hodge in his suit standing in a pile of reporters. Then he smiled at himself with the camera.

Tony was speechless. Rolling his eyes angrily, he said into the phone: "You are so leisurely, how could you run away to be a reporter!" Are you ready to change your goals? ”

"Well, don't talk nonsense, I need to work to make money." Hodge didn't have to guess to know that Tony was talking about the sexy and voluptuous Liana next to him.

"Work!? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard, Hodge. As soon as Hodge said that he wanted to work to make money, Tony was immediately happy.

"How. Am I not going to be able to work? "Tony's tone of voice don't tease me made Hodge's face darken, what does this guy mean? Is it so funny to find a job on your own?

"No kidding. Hodge. With your ability, if you want to make money, just go to the bottom of the sea and fish for a medieval shipwreck, I guarantee that you will get more money than you can spend for a lifetime. Tony shrugged, still disbelieving.

"Moreover, even if you don't have money, the government will give you money through various channels......" Tony muttered in his heart, but there is no way to do it, the government doesn't know if Hodge will do something out of the ordinary because he has no money, otherwise with Hodge's current residence, the monthly property tax alone can suck up Hodge's family money, not to mention a lot of messy expenses such as water and electricity bills, maintenance fees, management fees, etc.

Didn't you see that Hodge had been gone for so long, his house was still not repossessed by the government, and the property tax bill never made it to his mailbox?

Hodge choked on Tony's words, but he wouldn't tell him about his work because he needed to cultivate relationships.

Otherwise, Tony would definitely make a splash in the small team of four.

If that's all it takes, the key is that there are still two big mouths in the team, one more poisonous than the other, and if this thing is publicized, Hodge won't be alive......

"Okay, I'm just out to exercise, after all, I also want to live a normal life." After a moment's hesitation, Hodge quickly came up with an excuse.

Hearing Hodge say this, Tony was right to think about it, although they have a special identity, they still have to live after all.

Thinking of this, Tony didn't ask much and said, "Okay, wait for me." With that, he hung up the phone.

After seeing Tony hang up the phone, Hodge also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glanced at Liana, who was still looking forward to it, and smiled slightly, he didn't have to bask in the sun in this damn place soon.

But Hodge couldn't laugh right away, because he didn't calculate, and after five or six minutes, instead of coming down with the announcement that Hodge wanted, Tony himself walked out of the building.

Seeing Tony, who was dressed appropriately and had an elegant smile on his face, Hodge subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

However, contrary to Hodge's expression, the reporters around him saw Tony come out, like sharks smelling blood, and they were excited and desperately squeezed forward.

"Alright, guys, I know you have a lot of questions. But now I'm in a hurry, and I'm only going to be interviewed by one reporter individually. Tony came over, first pretended to look at his watch, the corners of his mouth hooked up a chic smile, looked at the many reporters, and said slowly.

As soon as they heard the solo interview, the eyes of many reporters lit up, but those reporters were all female reporters, as media people in New York, they knew Tony's temperament very well, if it was a solo interview, then it must be a female reporter.

Everyone knows these things, so fortunately, except for Hodge, the male reporter, the other men here are photographers or assistants......

Looking at the female reporters who were eager to try at the bottom, Tony also saw a few good looks, if it was in the past, he would naturally choose one he liked, and then everyone had an 'in-depth' exchange, but now he is here specifically for Hodge, so it is naturally impossible to choose female reporters.

stretched out his hand at the moment, and in the expectant eyes of those female reporters, he found a person, "It's you." ”

Everyone looked in the direction Tony was pointing, and saw a blonde, fair-skinned, good-looking female reporter with a stunned expression.

But this expression quickly changed from stunned to excited, "Oh, thank you, ......"

Just as the female reporter was excitedly about to come out to thank her, she heard Tony's voice come again, but this time her expression froze.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm talking to the gentleman behind you." Ignoring the surprised and incredulous expressions of the female reporter and the crowd, Tony said to Hodge, who was standing behind the female reporter.

Hodge looked at the smile on Tony's face and sighed in his heart, with an 'excited' smile on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Stark is willing to accept my one-on-one interview, it's an honor." ”

The two didn't say anything and walked directly into the Stark Building, leaving behind a group of shocked reporters and Liana with a strange look.

Liana is not stupid, although Hodge's voice was very small when she called just now, she still heard it clearly, it was not that she liked to eavesdrop on other people's privacy, but that she had been very good at hearing since she was a child, and she heard the conversation between Hodge and Tony on the phone clearly......
