Chapter 673 Christmas Party (5700 Words Long Chapter, Extra Chapter for Book Friend Cangtian Baruk)
Stark Industries Building.
Happy was promoted from Tony's personal bodyguard to the security director of Stark Industries.
At this time, Happy walked in the company and reminded every employee: "Badge."
"Badge."
Whenever he saw a person without a badge, Happy would specifically tell the other person and ask the other person to wear it.
Seeing Pepper Potts coming to work, Happy went up and made his own suggestions.
"Pepper Potts, Tony has a bunch of equipment in his basement, and they all wear party hats."
"This is an asset we can use."
Pepper Potts said as the document was signed: "Are you suggesting that I replace all the cleaners with robots?"
"What I mean is that in human resources, people are the weakest link."
"We should replace them immediately and use those reliable robots."
Pepper Potts was surprised: "What?"
Seeing that Happy was still reminding employees to wear badges, Pepper Potts interrupted:
"Happy, I'm glad you are the head of the security department now. This position is very suitable for you."
"But..."
Before Pepper Potts finished speaking, Happy immediately smiled and replied: "Thank you, I appreciate it."
"Since you took office, my employee complaint rate has tripled."
"You don't have to thank me."
Hearing Happy's answer, Pepper Potts laughed angrily.
"It's not a compliment."
Happy said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, it's a compliment."
"Obviously, someone is trying to hide something."
At this time, Pepper Potts' assistant came over and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"Ms. Pepper, the person you had an appointment with at four o'clock has arrived."
"Thank you!"
Then Pepper Potts looked at Happy and said, "Happy, we'll talk later, but now I have something tricky to deal with."
"What is it?"
Pepper Potts pushed open the door of the reception room and said, "I used to work with him, and he always wanted to ask me out."
"It's a bit embarrassing."
Happy said, "I don't like this either."
As the door was pushed open, Pepper Potts looked at the person in front of her and was stunned for a moment.
This healthy and mature man was completely different from the one she remembered.
"Pepper!"
Pepper Potts was surprised: "Killian?"
Killian smiled and said: "You look good, you look great."
Pepper Potts was surprised: "Oh my God, you look great."
In her memory, Killian was a little unkempt, limping and needing a cane, obviously looking like a Frankenstein, but now...
"I...I...I..."
Pepper Potts was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and then she said: "What are you busy with recently?"
And Happy behind her was looking at Killian with his eyes.
Killian opened his hands and said, "Nothing special."
"I've been with the physical therapist for five years. Please call me Aldridge."
Happy on the side said, "You should wear a security badge."
Hearing Happy's words, Pepper Potts felt helpless, then turned around and said, "Happy is fine, you step aside first."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll wait outside."
Seeing Happy go out, Pepper Potts walked towards the sofa area in the reception room and said, "Nice to meet you, Killian."
In the reception room, Killian introduced his team's new invention to Pepper Potts, showed his brain, and the prospects of using this technology to improve bioelectricity and recombinant DNA.
However, through Killian's introduction, Pepper Potts said: "Unfortunately, it sounds to me that this technology is very inclined to weaponization."
"For example, transforming soldiers and private armies, and Tony..."
Killian heard Pepper Potts' words and interrupted: "Tony again, Tony."
"Did you know?"
"I invited Tony to join AIM thirteen years ago, and he rejected me."
"But I can see that there is a new generation of genius on the throne now. She no longer needs to be restrained by Tony, and she is not so self-centered."
However, Pepper Potts still refused:
"I will still say no, Aldridge."
"Although I am very willing to help you."
While the two were talking, Happy outside was very dissatisfied with the behavior of Killian's assistant. The other party did not wear a badge and sat on the sofa carelessly, not polite at all.
Happily encountered Tony's call, and Happy told Tony about Killian's meeting with Pepper Potts.
He told Tony that Pepper Potts was his most precious treasure, and if he didn't cherish it, it would be stolen by this Killian.
He also complained to Tony that he missed the previous Tony, not the Tony who hung out with superheroes without him.
······
On the other hand, Pepper Potts rejected Killian's investment invitation and then sent him off from Stark Industries.
After finishing work, Pepper Potts drove back to Tony's beach villa.
As soon as the car stopped at the door, Pepper Potts saw a huge stuffed rabbit placed in the yard at the door.
A three-meter-tall rabbit with the words "Merry Christmas - Pepper" written on it.
Looking at this gift, Pepper Potts sighed helplessly.
Entering the villa, Pepper Potts saw a man wearing Mark armor sitting on the sofa, and said in surprise: "What is that?"
"You are wearing this when you are in the house now?"
"What generation is this, Mark XV?"
Tony glanced at the MK42 on his arm, but still said, "Oh, yeah."
He didn't tell Pepper Potts that this was already the 42nd generation armor.
"Probably, everyone has a hobby."
Pepper Potts sat on the couch, took off her high heels, and said, "So you put on your fetish in the living room?"
"I just tried it on and it felt a little tight..."
Mark 42 walked up behind Pepper Potts and asked, "Hey, did you see your Christmas gift?"
"Yes, I saw it..."
"How could I not have noticed that Christmas present? Could that thing have gotten in?"
Tony also said awkwardly: "Actually, this is a problem."
"I'll call some people over tomorrow to blow down that wall so we can get in."
Pepper Potts smiled and said, "Okay."
Mark No. 42, under Tony's control, massaged Pepper Potts and said:
"Shoulders are a little stiff, naughty boy."
"I don't want to sound too nagging, but do you like that custom-made bunny?"
"Do I like it?"
"Just make sure, okay?"
Pepper Potts turned around and said, "Wow, that's a creative idea."
Then he hugged Mark 42 and said, "Why don't you take off that mask and kiss me?"
"Um···"
"Dang·dang·dang!"
"Okay, hell, it can't be opened."
"Do you want to kiss me right here between your face?"
Pepper Potts stroked the chest armor of Mark 42 and said, "Maybe I should run to the garage, find a crowbar, and pry that thing open?"
"Crowbar, okay."
After speaking, Pepper Potts walked towards the basement.
Tony immediately spoke to dissuade him: "It's just that there is radiation leakage over there."
Pepper Potts skipped down and said, "I'll try my luck."
Tony continued to dissuade: "It's too risky."
He followed behind and said, "At least, let me get you some protective armor or something."
However, when Pepper Potts walked to the basement, he saw Tony wearing a brain sensor and doing stretching exercises on the barbell.
"Caught."
Pepper Potts pushed away the dessert handed over by Benben and said in a cold voice: "Your tricks are really endless."
"Feel sorry."
Pepper Potts saw that the dinner on the table had been tampered with, so she asked, "You ate it before I came?"
"We are going on a date tonight..."
Tony defended: "Indeed, I took a simple bite."
"I don't know if you're going to go home or go drinking with Aldridge Killian."
Pepper Potts was surprised: "What?"
"What?"
"Aldridge Killian? What are you spying on me?"
Tony crossed his arms and said, "Happy is worried."
"You're spying on me."
"I don't."
Pepper Potts was a little angry, turned around and left: "I'm going to bed."
Tony saw Pepper Potts leaving and immediately said, "No, Pepper?"
Seeing Pepper Potts walking out without moving his head, Tony finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, I admit it, it's my fault, I'm sorry."
Hearing Tony's apology, Pepper Potts also stopped and turned to look at Tony.
Tony said: "I'm like an ant on a hot pot. It's been a while and I haven't said anything."
"Something has changed since that time in New York."
Pepper Potts walked down, looked at Tony and said, "Really? I didn't notice it at all."
Tony said: "If a person goes through something, and then it ends, you still can't explain it."
"Gods, aliens, other dimensions, worlds."
"I'm just a man in a jar."
"Probably the only reason I didn't break down was because you moved in."
"Well done, I love you and I'm so lucky."
"But honey, I can't sleep."
"You go to bed and I'll come down here and do what I'm good at."
"I tinker, I..."
"The crisis is imminent, and I must protect the only thing I can't lose, and that is you."
"And my armor, they're part of me..."
Pepper Potts said: "Machines, distractions."
Tony said: "Yes."
Pepper Potts walked up to Tony, hugged him, took Tony's head into his arms, removed the sensor from his brain, and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
"All right!"
Pepper Potts took just two steps, then turned around and said, "Come with me."
Tony nodded: "This is better."
······
the other side.
A Christmas party is being held at the Charlotte base.
A huge Christmas tree is erected in the middle of the base. This Christmas tree is extremely huge. It was made by Yamato using the wood release ninjutsu. The tree is covered with lights and decorations, and under the Christmas tree are placed Holding gift boxes of items one by one.
In order to get into the festive atmosphere, Uzumaki Shinkuna took the lead in dressing herself, Hinata Hinata, Shizune, Nadeshiko Shizuka, Yuhi Kurenai, Tenten, Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, etc. in special limited Christmas costumes, dressing up like a deer. Same as Babe.
These were not recruited by Charlotte. They were custom-made clothes by Kushina Uzumaki and everyone in the New York mall. However, Tsunade did not agree to Kushina Uzumaki's request to wear those clothes.
I saw Uzumaki Kushina leading everyone towards others and asking for Christmas blessings.
Uzumaki Kushina came to lead Minato, stretched out her hand and said: "Minato, a gift!"
Namikaze Minato took out a gift box and handed it to Uzumaki Kushina: "Here, this is your gift."
Kushina Uzumaki put the wrapped gift box directly into the Santa Claus package that Zaishin brought, and then said to the girls behind her: "Go and ask Minato for gifts."
"If you miss today, you can just wait for next time."
Yuhi Hong was not polite and took the lead to speak: "Fourth Generation Sir, here is our gift."
Namikaze Minato was a flying thunder god, disappearing and reappearing in an instant, holding a full gift box in his hand.
I saw a smile like a little sun on his face, and he said: "Everyone is here, I'm here to give out gifts to everyone."
Charlotte Doyle on the side saw this scene, looked at Tsunade and said: "Tsunade, why didn't you join Uzumaki Kushina's team?"
Tsunade said arrogantly: "I'm going. There's no place for Kushina. I'm the eldest sister in the team."
"I just don't want to steal the limelight from the juniors."
Then he reached out and looked at Charlotte and said, "Where's my gift."
"Don't say no!"
Charlotte laughed: "Hahaha!"
"How could I not prepare it for you?"
Charlotte took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from the storage space, which contained a pink diamond necklace.
"Here, this is your gift."
Tsunade took the gift but did not open it.
Instead, he took off the necklace he had been wearing from his neck. This necklace was a gift left to Tsunade by the first generation.
"This is my most precious thing, a gift from my great-grandfather."
"Today I give him to you, hoping to bring you good luck."
The necklace still had body fragrance and warmth. Charlotte looked at the necklace Tsunade took off from her neck and couldn't help but tilt her mouth.
The reputation of this thing is too loud, and it is said that whoever takes it will die.
But at this time, Tsunade gave it away for the first time, and she didn't know that in the original Naruto world, she had given it to her rope tree, Dan, and Naruto.
If Naruto hadn't crushed the necklace himself, he might have died.
But with his own strength, there should be no problem.
"Thank you for the gift!"
Tsunade took a step forward, put the necklace on Charlotte Doyle herself, and gave a sweet kiss to her forehead.
The moment Tsunade kissed her forehead, Charlotte felt a touch of softness and coldness.
And the other side.
After Uzumaki Kushina robbed Minato, she led everyone to blackmail Jiraiya.
When Jiraiya was giving gifts to the kunoichi, he saw the situation on Charlotte Doyle's side and smiled. Is Tsunade, this big tablet, going to blow her away?
At this time, Jiraiya only had the friendship of a companion for Tsunade.
At this moment Orochimaru put his arm around Jiraiya's shoulders and said:
"It seems that Tsunade has taken a brave step, which is also a good thing for us."
Just when Jiraiya and Orochimaru were giving out gifts to everyone, Nadeshiko Shizuka came to Jiraiya and said: "Jiraiya-sama, you once met my master and had a competition but there was no winner. ”
"You agree to let your apprentices compete. If you lose, you will agree to marry into the family."
"Well, your apprentice Namikaze Minato is already married, how should this competition be conducted?"
Hearing Nadeshiko Shizuka's words, Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, I didn't know about this. This should be something in the future."
Uzumaki Kushina on the side was furious and shouted: "Jiraiya..."
Seeing Uzumaki Kushina about to go berserk, Jiraiya said, "Well, Naruto is also my apprentice."
"Yes, Naruto is also my apprentice."
Hearing Jiraiya say Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina's flying red hair fell down again, and then looked at Nadeshiko Shizuka, looking up and down:
"It seems good if Shizuka becomes my daughter-in-law."
"Naruto is just too young."
Nadeshiko Shizuka on the side asked doubtfully: "Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Yes, that's him."
Jiraiya pointed to Uzumaki Naruto who was holding a gift and was about to give it to Haruno Sakura.
Uzumaki Kushina shouted: "Naruto!"
Hearing his mother calling him, Naruto quickly put the gift into Haruno Sakura's hand and ran over.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Kushina Uzumaki pulled Naruto over, then stood in front of Nadeshiko Shizuka, and said, "Naruto, can you let Nadeshiko Shizuka-sama be your wife from now on?"
Naruto's head immediately shook like a rattle and shouted: "No, I like Sakura-chan the most."
Haruno Sakura heard what Uzumaki Naruto said, but said: "I don't want it, I like Sasuke."
Hyuga Hinata looked at Naruto in her mother's arms, with a little sadness.
Shizuka Nadeshiko looked at Naruto Uzumaki in front of her and shook her head: "He is still too young. I will compete with him when he grows up."
"I just thought of the master's commission. This is also the tradition of our Nadeshiko Village."
"Although there is no Nadeshiko Village here, I will fulfill the master's last wish."
Jiraiya smiled at this time: "Don't worry, maybe Naruto will become a big guy soon, and it won't be too late for you to compete then."
"Then let's talk about it when he grows up."
Jiraiya's affairs came to an end. Uzumaki Kushina brought her female army and continued to ask for gifts from a group of adult ninjas.
At this time, Ginny also came over. She was wearing a very sexy and hot outfit and came to Charlotte Doyle with a gift in her hand.
"Charlotte, Merry Christmas!"
Looking at Ginny's gift, Charlotte did not refuse.
"Merry Christmas, Ginny."
Charlotte took out a gift from the storage space and exchanged it with Ginny.
Ginny took the gift, stepped forward and gave Charlotte Doyle a hug, and buried Charlotte's head in her arms and rubbed it for a while.
Seeing Ginny's behavior, Tsunade stepped on the ground with one foot, and the ground shook.
Obviously, Tsunade was very dissatisfied with Ginny's behavior of forcing Charlotte to eat tofu, and then straightened her chest.
Her one was not smaller than Ginny's, and it was even bigger than the other's.
Ginny let go of Charlotte, then showed a successful smile and stood beside Charlotte.
Soon Kushina brought everyone over and asked for gifts.
Charlotte, Tsunade, and Ginny were also well prepared and distributed the gifts to everyone.
Even Uchiha Sasuke prepared a lot of things for everyone.
Uchiha Obito looked at the outfits of Kushina and others, and thought to himself: "If Lin can also wear this outfit, she must be very cute."
The whole base was full of laughter and joy, and everyone exchanged gifts and enjoyed the joy of the festival.
······
On the other side.
Barton was sitting alone on the sofa at home at this time, holding a photo frame in his hand. The photo in the photo frame was none other than his lover Barbara Morse.
That was Barbara Morse's last mission. After completing that mission, she would retire from SHIELD and marry him under the alias Laura.
But the other party had died and left him forever.
After stroking Barbara in the photo with his hand, Barton picked up the phone and called Eddie. He wanted to tell the other party where the target was.
He and his lover couldn't spend Christmas, and he didn't plan to let Eddie have an easy time today.
On the other side, Eddie was spending Christmas with his girlfriend. The two had just come out of the restaurant to feel the festive atmosphere outside.
Suddenly the phone rang. Eddie picked up the phone and saw the number of the other party. Instead of answering the call, he pressed the button to reject the call.
He had to accompany his girlfriend today and didn't want to be disturbed tonight.
"Eddie, who's calling?"
"I don't know, it should be a sales call."
