Chapter 31: Ina's Mission

Time passes day by day.

What is surprising is that Tony Stark, who used to publish various newspapers every day, has become unusually quiet since his return. In the past, the big social places could see the blocked figures, but now they can't be seen or blocked. Even if these social places are still full of beautiful women and are still the high-end hunting grounds of the playboys, Tony Stark seems to have lost interest.

This made many reporters who relied on Tony Stark for food a little disappointed.

Interviews can't be done, some gossip reporters in their newspaper editor-in-chief asked for Stark's press release under the strong oppression, simply began to show their own powers, today this interviewed a model who had a time with Tony Spring Breeze talked about how to miss Stark, and the other to face is to find a psychiatrist, in-depth analysis of the psychological trauma that Stark may experience now.

So even though Tony Stark hadn't been seen for a long time, after the silence of the first few days, he had appeared on the pages of many newspapers.

There is no way, the public likes to watch reports such as the fall of geniuses, or the psychological problems of the rich, etc. In particular, Tony Stark, like Stark Industries, has been on the cusp of the storm recently. In the words of media people, the popularity is explosive, and any writing is attention.

As Tony Stark's assistant Pepper Potts, while attending a social drinking party in his place, he hid far away in a corner.

With a wine glass in front of the balustrade of the balcony, her eyes unconsciously looking into the distance, Pepper Potts seemed a little preoccupied. As a person who gets along day and night, she can be said to know Tony Stark best, and now she feels that Tony has become a lot stranger. When she routinely arranged a drinking party for him or even a beautiful model that echoed Tony's aesthetic preferences, she was rejected by Tony.

God knows how much Tony Stark's veto surprised Pepper Potts at the time! Just like Tony has changed these days. She found that the person who was always reckless in the past had a lot more things on her mind now, and she became introverted, quiet, and even a little calmer. This change was both reassuring and alarming to Pepper Potts.

I'm glad that Tony has finally grown.

Panicking at this growth made her perception of Tony unfamiliar.

What's even more terrifying is that she saw the little bullet marks on Tony Stark's steel suit! The moment she saw that picture, the suppressed panic in her heart hit her whole body almost instantly.

"Alone here?"

A somewhat unfamiliar female voice interrupted Pepper Potts' divergent thoughts. Interrupted, Pepper Potts frowned and turned to look at the owner of the voice. When she saw who it was, a look of surprise crossed her face.

"Miss Sandra?"

"Hope it didn't bother you." Ina Sandra smiled as she walked up to Pepper Potts, stood with her on the balcony railing, and smiled.

"Of course not, there are countless people at this party who want to talk to you." Pepper Potts didn't understand Ina Shandra's intentions, but that didn't prevent her from showing some kindness to the other party's active pick-up. After all, if you talk about the people of the year in recent years, in addition to the wayward boss of her family, the lady in front of her, and Luke Field, who established Hyperion Technology with her, are also among them.

Compared with Justin Hammer, who has always been looked down upon by Tony, Tony has nothing bad to say about Luke Field, the soul of Hyperion Technology. With Pepper Potts' understanding of Tony, it's rare to be able to get away with his poisonous tongue without saying anything bad. Perhaps, this is a technical recognition?

"Do you mean those people?" Ina Sandra smirked mockingly, and pointed to the drinking parties that were lined up below. The outer circle wants to get close to the inner circle, and the inner circle desperately tries to squeeze into the core circle. And the person who can be called the centerpiece of this reception is undoubtedly the man who is talking, the current head of Stark Industries - Obadia Stanley. Everyone surrounds him, there is no certain status and identity, and even the periphery of the inner circle has no place to stand.

If Ina Sandra goes down, of course, she can easily pull up a core circle that belongs to her, and even easily join Obadia Stanny's circle, where she will also be the same touted core as Obadia Stanny. But what's the need?

A man who is about to become obsolete.

"Is Tony Stark okay?" Ina Sandra didn't wait for Pepper's answer, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Pepper and asked.

"Of course he's good." Pepper instinctively put a skillful smirk on his face and replied with a familiar voice. This is a question she has heard too many times since Tony Stark returned safely, and those reporters who can't find Tony often block her from asking questions when she needs to show her face. She was now stressed by the question she had been asked.

"It's okay with me, I asked for Luke." Seeing the smirk on Pepper's face, Ina was keenly aware of her momentary alienation and vigilance, and added an explanation without care.

"Luke? Luke Field? Pepper realized that her attitude was too vigilant, and she was also a little curious about the person who could survive Tony's poisonous tongue.

"That's him. He was concerned about Tony Stark. There was a period of investigation at the time of his disappearance, but unfortunately it didn't help much. Ina Sandra lied without blinking her eyes, and during that time Luke was immersed in his laboratory, digesting what he had gained from his retreat and contributing to the technical foundation of Hebleon Technology.

The vanishing Tony Stark?

Sorry, Ina said to herself that she had never heard a word of concern from Luke or anything else.

"Thank you very much." Pepper thanked him for some reason.

"You're welcome, although I couldn't investigate anything at the time, I still got something. It's a document you can take back to Tony Stark and maybe he'll find something out there. Remember, it's only for Tony, and it's only for you and him. Ina Sandra secretly stuffed a USB flash drive into Pepper's empty left hand, and after touching the glass on Pepper's right hand, she turned and left.

The mission she came here today has been completed.
