Pepper Potts was very upset. She felt that she had no luck with men in her life. → She had no shortage of suitors. She graduated from a prestigious university, had a good family background, was beautiful, capable, and was also the assistant to the president of Stark Group. How could she not have suitors with such conditions?

But the problem was that she was born to pursue high difficulties. She didn't like people who liked her. But the people she liked... were all bastards.

Tony was not to be mentioned. He was a famous playboy. The most important part of Pepper Potts' daily work was to come to Tony Stark's house every morning to help Tony "clean up" his past girlfriends. Looking at this bastard who lived a decadent life, was extremely self-centered, and never considered others, Pepper Potts was surprised that she actually liked this person.

To be honest, Pepper did not deny that she hoped that her other half had a certain economic foundation, but she was not to the level of worshipping money. Tony's wealth was not the main reason for attracting her. Could it be his talent? Pepper also admitted that this playboy was indeed very talented, but the problem was that Pepper was not a science and engineering student and had no interest in any of Tony's scientific research. As for his appearance… To be honest, Tony is indeed good-looking among the billionaires in the world, but the problem is that the majority of billionaires are over 50 years old… So Tony’s appearance is not as good as imagined. He is handsome, but that’s just the way it is.

Then why does she like Tony?

Pepper really can’t explain it. I can only say that this is damn fate.

Originally, Pepper was still worrying about whether to develop a relationship with Tony, but she met her first love. I have to say that the previous encounter with Kai was not a crime movie or a horror movie in Pepper’s eyes, but a Mary Sue movie!

You see, the first love who separated because of family and misunderstanding many years ago, met by chance in the vast crowd, and when they looked at each other, countless past events emerged in their hearts, some happy, some sad, and finally became nostalgic for each other. Then the inexplicable heroine was involved in a murder case.

Then, in order to protect the woman, the man risked his life to save the girl. In the end, the two were crushed under the ruins together. In order to comfort the woman, the man broke his legs, but he still comforted the girl calmly, so that the girl did not give up hope of life under the dark and depressing ruins...

Look, look, isn't it Mary Sue enough? At least in Pepper's opinion, this is just one sentence less than "Titanic" 'You jump, I jump'.

Anyway, from Pepper's perspective, this is the case. It's not that Pepper is stupid, but that the girl really has feelings for Adam. After all, first love occupies a special place in everyone's life. What's more, the matter is generally not beyond the limit, it's just a filter, which is normal, everyone has a different perspective.

In short, Pepper thinks that this encounter with Kai is perfect. But afterwards, Kai's attitude is very strange. Pepper asked Kai out several times, but he refused for various reasons. He also said that he has a girlfriend. Pepper checked and found that he really has a girlfriend.

At that moment, Pepper felt the malice of the world, and let her meet her first love boyfriend, but he was already someone else's.

So Pepper could only devote herself to work, hoping to forget this bitter and embarrassing relationship. But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she saw Kai and another bitch pulling and tugging!

Scumbag!

At this moment, Pepper felt that life was too difficult. Why are the men she likes this kind of virtue?

Then Tony didn't know why he invited Kai and Diana to dinner together.

Then at the dinner table, the atmosphere became more awkward.

Tony invited Kai to dinner together, actually there was no other meaning, just to strike down the rival, although Tony regarded the pursuit of Diana more as a game, what, you said love? Don't be funny, Tony has never thought that he would fall in love with a woman and marry her. That doesn't fit his outlook on life.

He just likes high difficulty, and spending money can no longer satisfy him.

And he didn't like Kai from the beginning, this guy is too annoying. Just like Pepper likes Tony, Tony also likes Pepper, but unlike Pepper who is hesitant about Tony's private life, Tony's feelings towards Pepper are much more complicated.

He thinks Pepper is a good girl, so he doesn't want to hurt her. Tony knows his own business. He is a bastard. He doesn't deny this and even thinks this is one of the reasons why he is so charming. He is afraid of responsibility, so even if he does have a good impression of Pepper, he suppresses himself and doesn't show it.

So Pepper is such a beautiful woman by his side, but he has never done anything out of line with her. This is very rare. In the past, his female assistant was equivalent to a bed partner. But since Pepper took office, it has been different.

But on the other hand, Tony is very disgusted with men approaching Pepper. This is a kind of possessiveness that is difficult to describe.

Coincidentally, Kai appeared beside Pepper.

This is really a new and old hatred, so Tony plans to let Kai know the gap between them. He plans to tease Kai with words, embarrass him, make him lose his composure, and let him give up peeping at Pepper.

It was childish, but Tony did it.

It was just frustrating that from beginning to end, Kai ate quietly and basically ignored what Tony said.

After all, Kai was not interested in Tony's topics at all. Tony kept talking about the economy, luxury goods, various upper classes, and even the political situation at the dinner table. In short, they were all very high-end topics. Tony was not that bad, and he wasn't that bad either. No problem, he was just very childish and wanted to make Kai understand that Pepper was something he couldn't afford to offend.

But the problem is that Kai has no interest in Pepper, especially Tony. Besides, he wasn't very good at those topics either in his previous life or in this life. You know, none of the luxuries in Kai's family were bought by him. They were all bought by Kelly, and he didn't understand.

So he just kept his head down and ate. Don't mention it, this restaurant is really not famous for its scenery. The food is indeed delicious, but a bit expensive, but Tony is paying for it anyway, so he doesn't care.

This is not the most depressing thing for Tony.

It's okay if Kai isn't interested in Tony's topic, but Tony doesn't know where he offended Diana. Any Tony's point of view will be refuted by Diana. At the back, Tony not only failed to stimulate Kai, but was choked by Diana and felt extremely uncomfortable.

By the end of the dinner, Tony had forgotten that he was going to pick up Diana. Instead, the two of them were arguing over their differences in ideas.

Generally speaking, Tony would not be so dishonest in arguing with a woman, but the problem is that Diana is fundamentally different from ordinary women. Her ideas are very different from those of the secular world, and are even completely opposite in some aspects, so she He disliked Tony very much, so his words were inevitably mixed with some personal emotions, and he despised Tony openly and secretly. Even the Clay Man was quite angry, not to mention the proud Tony.

So after going back and forth, Tony also forgot the original purpose, and instead started to compete with Diana.

Pepper looked at the two people and smiled helplessly.

"He likes you very much." Kai swallowed the last bite of steak and suddenly said something unexpected.

Pepper was stunned, and Tony and Diana also stopped, not knowing why Kai said that.

"What?" Pepper asked confused.

"I said, this rich young man likes you very much." Kai wiped his mouth with a napkin, curled his lips and said, "Although his methods are as childish as a sixth grader, he likes you." After that, Kai threw the napkin on the table, picked up the red wine glass, swallowed the last sip of wine in it, and waved his hand to signal the waiter not to pour any more wine.

"I listened for a long time, and I roughly got the idea that what this handsome young man meant was to warn me not to get close to you. To be honest, what he did was completely beyond my expectation. I originally thought he would take out his checkbook and directly Throw out a bunch of zeros to me and let me choose money or you. It's a pity that he didn't choose such a popular plot. It's a pity..."

I don't know what he is regretting. But his words suddenly petrified Tony, and Pepper's face turned red.

"Besides, you also like him, right? I can see that since we sat down, your attention has been focused on him. If you don't know, you would think that you are an old couple." Pepper This is indeed the case with Tony. Whenever Tony wants to do something, Pepper can detect it and help him do it right away. Even if it is such a small thing as adjusting the wine glass, Pepper can help Tony adjust it right away. An angle that feels comfortable.

With that said, Kayla pulled out the chair, and then helped Diana pull out the chair. In this regard, Kai has always done a good job. He is a gentleman to women, and this kind of thing is the same in the East and the West.

And Tony and Pepper are still stupid.

Until Kai walked up to Tony with Diana's arm and patted him on the shoulder.

"Be brave, sixth grader, otherwise you may not have a girlfriend." After saying that, he took Diana and left.

At this time, Tony was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his fur suddenly exploded.

"Who...who is a sixth grader? You scumbag!!! I'm not that! No!"

In fact, Tony didn't jump at what Kai just said. What really made him unable to calm down was...how should he face Pepper?

As for Pepper, her face was red, but she didn't say anything. She didn't know what she was waiting for.

…

"Puff!" After arriving in Kai's car, Diana finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "What that guy just did was really... really funny."

Kai shook his head. He felt that these two people were too pretentious. Kai has always been insensitive to matters between men and women, but just like this, he could tell that the two of them had a crush on each other. But these two people pretended to hide it very well, thinking that only they knew.

Tony should really thank him. Fortunately, he is not the real Adam, otherwise Tony's little thought would really be a waste. Anyway, Kai was a little embarrassed to see Pepper. If he was really Adam, he would be able to face this feeling as a matter of course. But the problem is that he is not Adam, and he has no other thoughts about Pepper. He has never seen Pepper look at her. The look in his eyes made Kai feel uncomfortable, so he decided to give in to this hypocritical couple.

"By the way, you said the Ares statue is missing. How did you come to Chicago?" Kai thought of the previous conversation between him and Diana. They were about to talk about business, but Tony barged in.

"This is what a colleague of mine told me. He used to work at the Art Museum of Chicago for a while. He saw a replica of the Ares statue in Chicago. He didn't take it seriously at first, but he remembered it because the statue was lost. Because the Louvre has never exhibited the statue, no outsiders have ever seen the statue except the internal staff of the Louvre."

A statue that has never been seen by outsiders actually appeared in Chicago across the ocean. No wonder Diana would be suspicious of Chicago.

"Did you find out what it is?" Kai asked. With Diana's ability, she probably searched the entire Art Museum of Chicago on the day she arrived in Chicago.

"No." Diana said frustratedly.

"Did you check the archives?" Kai asked along his own line of thought.

"Archives?" Diana looked at Kai.

"Yes, if the Art Museum of Chicago really copied the statue, then there must be archives. As long as you can look through the archives, there is a high probability that you will find a clue." Kai said.

Diana's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "I'll go right away!"

As she said that, she asked Kai to take her back to the museum. Kai had no choice but to do it. He could understand Diana's urgency. After all, that was Ares. If this guy really ran out, it would definitely be a disaster.

It was just that Diana walked too fast, so Kai didn't have time to ask her if she knew where the file was...

What's more, just when Diana was about to leave, Dean called.

Bad news.

Vampires are besieging his manor...

Fuck!

Are these vampires crazy?

Kai didn't understand, how could these blood-sucking bastards have the courage to besiege his house? Apart from anything else, Kai is a policeman after all! According to the style of these vampires, they rarely attack targets that will attract high attention.

But now, it's meaningless to think about these things, Kai immediately turned the car around and rushed to his home.

...

On the other side, Kai's manor had become a battlefield at this time. A group of fully armed men in black were besieging Kai's main house. And in the house, in addition to Dean and his friends, there was a group of unknown demon hunters.

Kai's home was besieged because of this group of people.

Wasn't Bobby responsible for notifying the demon hunters in the city and asking them to be careful? As a result, he was a step too late. A group of demon hunters discovered a vampire nest. During this period, before the massacre at the demon hunter bar, Chicago and surrounding cities became the hunting grounds of demon hunters. For many demon hunters, they had never seen so many vampires in their lives. So many demon hunters who were used to being alone began to form groups and hunt vampires in groups.

The results were impressive.

In this situation, it was natural not to let go of a vampire nest, so they called their friends and planned to do it.

After some casualties, they finally destroyed the nest, but they also got into trouble. They were noticed by the mysterious vampire army.

They had no choice but to ask for help, and it happened that their location was close to Kai's home. So Bobby and the Dean brothers immediately ran out to support and cover them to retreat into Kai's house. Those vampires had just witnessed what those demon hunters did to their own people, so they naturally couldn't give up easily.

"You sons of bitches! Come on! Come on! Sons of the beach!"

A demon hunter was already covered in wounds, but he still leaned against the window and kept shooting outside. He seemed to have lost his composure, but thinking of their previous experiences, it was understandable why he was so crazy.

Before, in order to encircle and suppress that nest, a total of 36 demon hunters were dispatched together. During the encirclement and suppression, they sacrificed eight people. This is nothing, demon hunters are used to life and death, not to mention that they died in the encirclement and suppression of vampires. A worthy death.

But after that, the nightmare began. Those mysterious vampire troops suddenly appeared, like hunting turkeys, killing their companions one by one. When they received support from Dean and others and retreated to the house, only five people were left!

Demon hunters are indeed very lonely, but it does not mean that they have no feelings. How could the remaining demon hunters remain calm when seeing so many of their companions being killed without any resistance?
