Chapter 87: Small Response (Second Update!)

At the same time, at the entrance of Stark Tower, Pepper Potts, who had just taken office as CEO of Stark Industries for less than four days, was blocked by a group of reporters.

The flash lights flashed wildly, and every reporter rushed to ask questions, just like a group of flies buzzing non-stop.

But it was the kind of flies that absolutely could not be slapped, because they were a group of poisonous flies.

Most people who experienced such occasions would be so scared that they couldn't even speak.

However, Pepper was obviously not an ordinary person.

Although Pepper had only worked as a secretary or assistant before, because of Tony's debauchery and unreliability, in fact, it was Pepper who was often responsible for dealing with reporters.

Now it seemed to her that it was just a small occasion.

The press conference before the opening ceremony of the Expo was the headache.

Originally, Pepper didn't intend to pay attention to these reporters, but she didn't expect that their questions were getting more and more beyond the bottom line.

Oh, God knows if these reporters have a bottom line.

"Ms. Potts, you are now the new CEO of Stark Industries. What do you think about the declaration of war by Kaito Kidd?"

"Kidd said at the end of the notice that he was going to steal the Ark. Obviously, it would not be anything else except the Ark reactor invented by Tony Stark, but why would a thief want such a nuclear reactor?"

"Thinking of the attacker in Monaco, Ivan Vanko, who has died in prison, seems to have mastered the technology of making the Ark reactor. Do you think there is some unknown connection between them?"

"Speaking of the mysterious death of Ivan Vanko, it seems that the whole process is very mysterious, and before his death, Tony had met him alone. Some people say that Ivan's death was because Stark hated Ivan for stealing the technology of the Ark reactor..."

After a reporter asked a question, Pepper immediately interrupted.

"Please be quiet!"

Instantly, all the reporters were stunned. Pepper looked grim and looked like a strong woman doing business.

"We don't know what the purpose of Kaito Kidd is yet. Meaningless speculation will not work. I advise you not to talk nonsense without basis. Compared with spreading rumors, pursuing the truth is the mission of reporters, isn't it?"

Although Pepper had a friendly smile on her face, the reporters felt a deep chill behind this smile.

This woman who had just been entrusted with an important task by Tony was indeed not a simple person!

"If you have any other questions, please wait until the reception!"

Pepper asked the security guards to disperse the reporters and walked into Stark Tower.

"Hey, Pepper, you really should see Natalie. She is really great. Although you may not like to hear it, it must be said that she has done better than you did in some places!"

Pepper took the elevator to the top floor. The entire floor was composed of the office of the CEO of Stark Industries and Tony's private laboratory, as well as a lounge and a large entertainment venue.

As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw Tony lying on the sofa in a sloppy manner, praising Pepper for her assistant who was concentrating on making coffee.

When Tony was the CEO, Pepper was his assistant. Now that Pepper is the CEO, she naturally needs an assistant of her own.

Natalie is her newly recruited assistant, a sexy beauty with red wavy curls and a perfect resume.

Originally, Pepper didn't want to hire such a perfect person, but Tony made the final decision and hired Natalie directly.

Because at that time, Pepper had not yet taken office, and then Tony let Pepper inherit his position.

"Tony, do you know that Kaito Kid has announced to the world at the expo you carefully prepared that he wants to steal your most proud invention?"

Pepper frowned, and a nameless fire burned in her lower abdomen.

"And you? Now you are lying in my office with a nonchalant look, and you are also pointing fingers at my personal assistant?"

"I know, Pepper, I know, isn't it the Kaito kid who wears an old-fashioned white suit and performs magic tricks in front of those useless policemen!"

Tony said nonchalantly.

"Do you really believe that a thief can steal Tony Stark...steal Iron Man's things? No, no, no, that's impossible. No one can steal anything from me unless I give it to him."

"Tony, sooner or later you will suffer because of your narcissism and arrogance, because it makes you unable to see yourself and others clearly...George Stacy, the commissioner of the New York Police Department, will be here soon, and we will discuss how to protect the thing that saved your heart."

Pepper glanced at Tony and walked to her desk and sat down.

"Please enjoy."

At this time, Natalie also made coffee, and then she brought the coffee to the desk.

"Wow, I thought that cup of coffee was made for me."

Seeing this scene, Tony said a little stiffly.

Natalie just glanced at him and said nothing.

"Pepper, I refuse to accept the assistance of the New York Police Department. There are few police officers who are really capable. Moreover, they have been fooled by Kaito Kidd. I will not let them step into my expo. Absolutely not."

After being cold-shouldered, Tony had to turn to Pepper again.

Who knew that even his beloved Pepper ignored him.

At this moment, Tony felt the disparity of the world.

Tony returned to his laboratory with a frustrated heart, where he would not be disturbed by anyone.

"Jarvis, lock the door. Don't let anyone in without my permission, including Pepper."

Tony walked to a corner and poured himself a large can of dark green liquid.

"Okay sir."

Tony pinched his nose, closed his eyes, and drank a large can of unknown liquid.

"Wow, this stuff is really hard to drink. Is there any medicine that tastes better?"

"No, sir, this is the most effective one, but it can only delay your symptoms."

Tony raised his hand and put on a bracelet to detect life status. It originally showed that the blood toxins were 23%. After drinking the medicine, it slowly dropped to 19%.

"The efficacy of the drug is declining, sir, you will develop drug resistance sooner or later. Stop using palladium and your health will be greatly improved."

Jarvis suggested.

"No, Jarvis, as long as I am not dead, Iron Man cannot die either. I am Iron Man."

Tony rejected Jarvis' proposal.

"Besides, there is another Phantom Thief waiting for me to deal with. I can't just stop like this."

At the same time, Gotham, Wayne Manor.

Bruce Wayne was the first to get the news that Phantom Thief Kidd had issued another notice...
