Looking at Happy’s serious expression on the phone, Tony knew that Pepper should only be talking with the other guy, but as her boyfriend, Tony still cared a little.
“What are they talking about?” So Tony went on to ask.
“How should I know what they are talking about? Maybe they are talking about a new technology or something, now, that handsome guy is showing her his Big Brain.” Hearing Tony’s words, Happy glanced at Pepper’s office and quickly replied.
“Look at what? His What?!” Hearing Happy’s words, Tony was a little surprised. What the hell does he mean she is looking at his Big Brain?
“The guy named Killian put out his brain and is showing it to Pepper.” Happy replied seriously while staring at Killian in the office.
“Okay, Happy, you point the camera at Pepper’s office. I’ll see what they are doing.” Tony couldn’t imagine what Pepper and that handsome guy were doing just by listening to Happy’s words, so he asked Happy to flip the screen of the Camera s that he can see for himself.
However, Happy didn’t know how to use a tablet and he couldn’t flip the screen at Pepper’s office for a long time. Therefore, Tony had no choice but to directly ask JARVIS to help in calling out the monitoring screen of the Pepper office in the Stark Building.
“Mr. Stark, I can tell you with some certainty that this Killia guy wants something and he has a purpose in coming here. We met him before, in 1999.” While Tony asked JARVIS to call out the surveillance video, Happy continued to speak on the phone.
“99? Was it the Science and Technology Exchange Conference we had in Switzerland? I have no impression of him.” Tony said after thinking about it after hearing what Happy said.
“Yes, it was in Switzerland and of course you don’t remember him, he is not a Blonde with a big rack.”
“Aldrich Killian…” While talking to Happy, JARVIS has also brought up the monitoring screens of Pepper’s office and displayed it in front of Tony.
When Tony saw the situation in Pepper’s office, he felt that Happy hadn’t made a fuss without any cause. Because the guy named Killian was holding Pepper’s hand and helping her off the table. This action seemed to Tony to be very intimate, and Tony, as her boyfriend, felt a little uncomfortable.
“Mr. Stark, Pepper is the best thing that ever happened to you, you can’t always treat her like this.” On the other side of the phone, Happy kept reminding.
“I don’t trust this Killian Guy. He also has another guy with him, he is shifty. Later, I will follow these guys and investigate them, track them, and check their license plates. Anyway, I will take some action.” Without getting a response from Tony, Happy continued.
“Well, I already know about this now, maybe they just met and talked with each other. Okay, Happy, I’m still experimenting here, so I’ll hang up.” Watching the surveillance video, Killian and Pepper were sitting on the side and chatting and Tony spoke before he hung up the phone.
“JARVIS, look up this Killian and find out who he is.” After hanging up the phone, Tony then ordered JARVIS.
“Okay, sir.”
Da Da~
Just after Tony hung up Happy’s call, Lin Rui also came back from the front. The experiment has ended, and now it’s time to summarize the experimental data. However, when Lin Rui saw Tony’s face, he noticed something different.
“Tony, you okay?” Lin Rui asked when he saw Tony looking upset. Is there really something wrong with Pepper? There shouldn’t be! Lin Rui thought silently in his heart.
“I’m okay, is the experiment over?” Tony shook his head and replied when he heard Lin Rui’s words. This Killian guy did affect him a little but Tony was confident in Pepper.
“Well, the experiment is over and the results are being analyzed. However, Venom’s defense is stronger than our previous estimates. Moreover, as long as it is provided with enough energy, its various indicators will be enhanced, which is a worthy development and it can further enhance The Cloak.” Hearing Tony’s words, Lin Rui’s attention shifted to The Cloak’s research.
“Very well, so The Cloak would be stronger than we estimate! I think it may not be long before the first Cloak appears.” Temporarily suppressing Pepper’s things in his heart, Tony’s attention quickly shifted to the front on the ongoing experiment.
No matter how handsome Killian is, Tony believes in Pepper. However, Tony was still a little unhappy about Pepper being so close to other handsome guys. Maybe he should prepare some surprises for Pepper tonight as today is Pepper’s birthday.
While returning to the experiment, Tony thought in his heart and as for Happy’s warning about him investigating Killian, Tony didn’t really care. Anyway, Tony had asked JARVIS to investigate.
After Happy and Tony had a short talk, Tony knew that Pepper and the handsome guy were chatting alone in the office. Killian had already shown Pepper his brain, and now they were sitting on the sofa talking.
“This is incredible, unfortunately, it also sounds highly weaponizable. As in Enhanced Soldiers, Private Armies, and Tony is not…” After understanding what Killian introduced to her, Pepper Looked at him and said seriously.
With Pepper’s knowledge, she certainly knew that Killian’s technology was incredible. However, this technology will obviously be used for weaponization. Since Tony experienced the kidnapping, Stark Industries has transformed from a Major Weapons manufacturer to Clean Energy and Smart Systems. Of course, the Iron Man is a special case.
“Tony~Tony~ You know, I invited Tony to work with us more than 10 Years ago but he refused me. But something tells me that now there is a new genius on the throne, one who doesn’t have to answer to Tony anymore and one who has a slightly less of an ego.” Killian interrupted Pepper before she could finish speaking, and continued to persuade Pepper with his own words.
“It’s going to be a no, Aldrich…as much as I like to help you, Unfortunately, I will still refuse.” Faced with Killian’s pretentious evaluation of Tony, Pepper said nothing for a moment and rejected Killian’s idea of cooperation.
“Well, I can’t say that I am not disappointed but as my father used to say, “Failer is the fog through which we glimpse triumph”. Although he was rejected, Killian was not depressed at all. He still acted very gentlemanly as he spoke to Pepper.
“That’s very deep, and I have no idea what it means.”
“Hehe, well he was kind of an idea, my father.” The conversation was over here and Killian stood up and said goodbye to Pepper.
“Goodbye.” Pepper also politely stood up and said goodbye to Killian.
Then Killian smiled and left. When leaving the office, he also glanced at Happy next to him and then left with his little attendant.
