Just after all the armed helicopters have flown away, in a bay not far from the villa, the Mark 42 Iron Man Armor soars into the sky and takes Tony Stark towards Tennessee. He believed that the truth he needed could be found there.

The tragedy that happened at Stark Villa was immediately broadcasted across America through the news media. The Los Angeles Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Department of Homeland Security all sent people to investigate.

However, what makes Pepper feel a little strange is that she has never received a call from SHIELD. According to rules, even if Nick Fury himself does not call, SHIELD should send someone to investigate. Yeah, but it’s strange that nothing happened.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Pepper is holding a broken helmet with a sad face. At this moment, she can’t leave here. Also, many things need to be dealt with. The wreckage of the villa has been cleaned up. There are more than a dozen Irons in the basement. Man Armor must be transferred away, otherwise it will fall into the hands of government departments and don’t even want to take it back.

The cold sea breeze blew on Pepper’s face, making her sadness finally reduced. Suddenly, she saw a red dot is blinking in the helmet in her hand, and she gave her head to Turn around and cover the own face.

For an instant, countless data and graphics flashed in Pepper’s eyes. At the same time, a voice of an intelligent system sounded: “Stark security server, retina scanning takes effect.”

Just when Pepper was uncertain, Tony’s message rang out from the helmet: “Pepper, it’s me. I should have apologized to you long ago, but never said it.”

I heard Tony’s voice, I know He is safe, and Pepper finally laughed happily. At the same time, the message in the helmet continued: “First of all, I am selfish and stupid for putting you in danger. I won’t be anymore..”

Pepper just took off his helmet, and a familiar voice rang next to him: “The young couple is finished talking, okay, let’s go.”

“Ling!” Looking next to him Ling Xiao in a gray worker uniform, Pepper said with surprise and joy: “Ling, so you are fine.”

“Shh!” Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, then lowered. The voice said: “Let’s get out of here first.”

“Okay!” I have received Pepper slightly nodded from Stark. Let the staff of the Legal Department look at all the property belonging to Stark Industries on the spot. The government department walked along, and then followed Ling Xiao and left with Maya Hansen.

“Where are we going?” Sitting in the back seat of Ling Xiao’s pickup truck, Maya asked nervously.

“My villa.” Ling Xiao said as he drove: “It’s not far, it’s only 10 minutes’ drive.”

“Oh!” Maya complied, looked at the window outside In the night, he turned his head and asked Pepper in a low voice: “Miss Potts, Mr. Ling is who, why is he like that..”

In Stark Villa, Maya turned Ling Xiao’s magic was all in her eyes. At this time, she finally couldn’t help but ask.

“You don’t think that Los Angeles has only Tony as a superhero, right.” Pepper patted Maya had some cold hands, so I stopped explaining, and then asked, “What are you doing here today, Maya? , Do you have anything important to tell Tony?”

Although Pepper seemed to ask casually, Maya Hansen knew that she was already suspicious of oneself. After all, the timing of her appearance was too coincidental . I haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, and almost killed Stark as soon as I met. There is no contact with the ghosts.

Took a deep breath, Maya said to Pepper solemnly: “I think my boss is working for Mandarin, so if you want to continue talking, I suggest we change to a safe one. Click here!”

“Don’t worry, my villa is absolutely safe. I don’t want Tony’s house where I don’t have the slightest resistance.” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but ridicule Stark, but it’s not the case. Today If it hadn’t been a coincidence that Maya Hansen appeared, Stark’s villa would not have been easily destroyed.

“Wait, your Boss, why does he work in Mandarin?” Pepper turned his head, staring at Maya and asked, “But Tony said you are a botanist?”

“No It’s wrong.” Maya did not deny Pepper’s doubts. While nodding her head, she explained a little bit: “I am a DNA biocoding expert. I have a team of more than 40 people who belong to a large think tank. Part of it, so you can also call me botanist.”

It turned out to be the case, this Tony lied to her again. After remembering Stark in his mind, Pepper immediately asked: “What is your boss’s name?”

“His name is Killian, Aldrich Killian.” Maya didn’t notice the strange appearance on Pepper’s face. , Looking at the night outside the window, faintly said: “We and Tony met at a meeting in Sweden more than ten years ago.”

“Killian, Killian!” How could Pepper forget Killian, she only met him yesterday, this former colleague, didn’t expect that when they were studying under the same doctor, the other party knew Tony.

But think about it, there are many people who know Tony in this world, but few can remember him.

Ling Xiao hit the steering wheel, and the car turned up the mountain road. After a while, he had arrived at the manor on the top of the mountain.

Parking the car, Ling Xiao closed the door again, and took Pepper and Maya through the garden into the living room of the villa. Ling Xiao walked towards the refrigerator and said, “Sit down, what can you drink?”

Pepper glanced at Maya and said in a low voice: “Let’s have two cups of coffee. It’s better to have some snacks. We haven’t eaten much this day.”

“Okay, No problem.” Ling Xiao complied, took out the leftover cakes and snacks from the refrigerator, made another plate of fruit salad, made a pot of coffee, and brought them to the two women.

“Thank you, Ling.” Pepper glanced at Maya, who had been silent for a while, took a sip of coffee, and asked Ling Xiao: “By the way, Ling, Gan Jing, why didn’t you see her? Are you there?”

“I let her stay at the pharmacy, and I won’t be here tonight.” Ling Xiao stood on the sofa and looked at the two strangers, and said: “Today In the evening, you will stay in the guest room on the second floor. Don’t worry about any movement outside, just sleep well.”

“Okay, thank you.” Pepper laughed at Ling Xiao with some gratitude. In the entire Stark industry, she and Ling Xiao have known each other the longest time and are the most familiar. Although he looks a little greedy on the surface, he is actually quite good.

As for Ling Xiao’s details, Pepper also knows a lot through Tony, knowing that he is a strong superhero, just such a person, 200,000 USD per year in the Stark industry (although very few Going to work), it is really commendable, everything shows that he is trustworthy.

“Well, you guys talk first, I’ll go out and make arrangements.” Ling Xiao finished speaking, nodded to the two people, and left the living room.

Pepper picked up a snack, stuffed it into his mouth, bit it and swallowed it, with a calm expression on his face. At this time, Maya was only slightly relieved, picking up the fruit salad on the table and eating it. She knew that tonight was just beginning.

Ling Xiao’s seaside villa is peaceful, which does not mean that other places are equally peaceful.

Now Stark of Tennessee is conducting an own investigation in the wind and snow. There, he encountered many obstacles and also received help from many people, step by step approaching the truth. .

As the source of everything, Killian has just received a call from his subordinates: “We have blown up his house, but his body is not found.”

“I I know, I have to go busy. Mandarin wants to record something, he is a bit..you know he has a temper. The plan for the evening remains the same. Call me when you are done.” Hang up and Killian walks in. In a room, and inside is a small TV crew.
