Chapter 543 Tony Who Lacks Love (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket, Please Subscribe, Please Add Me to Your Collection) First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!
Tony did not go home in his mecha, but got on Kai's Chevrolet SUBURBAN. There was no way, his reactor was pulled down by Kai, and he couldn't put it back for a while, so he could only take a car home. Besides, he finally got rid of palladium poisoning, and he didn't want to be poisoned again.
"So... the price you promised him is your soul?"
Although his worldview was shattered, Tony was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly sorted out his mood and began to analyze whether Kai was fooling him, but he thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out why Kai lied to him. Moreover, he saw clearly just now that Lucifer's hands were inserted into his chest like that, and then pulled out intact. So Tony is now inclined to believe Kai.
So if Lucifer is really a demon, then it goes without saying what price Kai has to pay.
Kai glanced at Tony: "When did you have the illusion that I would give you my soul? I like women."
"What is the price? I can compensate you."
Kai shook his head: "I can't tell you that. Everyone has their own secrets, right?"
When demons trade with humans, the only traded item is the soul. Kai naturally couldn't give his soul to Lucifer. Kai is not a saint yet. What he gave to Lucifer was the soul energy of the golden finger. That thing is the soul power that has been systematically refined. This thing is more nourishing to demons than the Ten-Perfect Tonic Pill. Kai took out the soul energy for the transaction, and Lucifer's face was so beautiful that snot bubbles came out. This is definitely a profit compared to the transaction.
Of course, Kai didn't lose. Anyway, there are many bad people in this world. When the time comes, let Mr. Hannibal, the ghost butcher, go out and harvest a wave, and everything will be there. So helping Tony "pay" is as simple as treating him to a meal. Kai didn't plan to get anything from Tony by this.
Tony also knew that it was very rude to explore other people's secrets, but the problem was that his damn curiosity still made him unable to resist. Besides, when did this guy care about other people's feelings?
"I guess it must be something very precious?"
Kai thought about it and said simply, "Well, it depends on how you look at it. Anyway, it is not precious to most people."
"What is it?"
"Soul."
"But didn't you just say..." Tony looked at Kai in shock.
"I didn't say it was mine." Kai said quickly.
"Can you decide on other people's souls?" Tony didn't know much about the mechanism of the soul, but he knew that it was unlikely to be treated casually.
"The dead won't protest. →"
"You mean, you kill people and then use the souls of the people you killed as bargaining chips to exchange for my health?"
"Bingo!"
"But aren't you a policeman?" Tony felt that this was not a good thing to do, after all, other people's lives are also lives.
Kai was operating the steering wheel while looking at Tony, saying with a smile: "What are you thinking? The lives of my men were all killed by thugs legally. Do you think I have time to play a murderer?"
"But won't this be a moral problem?"
"What problem? Where do you think the soul goes after death? I can tell you clearly that there is no God in this world, nor the hell in the Bible. The soul of a person will naturally dissipate and return to nature after death. I am also recycling waste. Otherwise, why do you think the devil wants to trade with humans? Isn't it more labor-saving to wait for people to die and accept the soul?"
Tony felt much better after hearing this.
...
Kai left Tony at Stark Tower and left quickly. He was so busy that he didn't have time to laugh with Tony.
Looking at the Chevrolet SUBURBAN that was riding away, he gave the car a middle finger and could only walk into the building with a suitcase pitifully.
The top three floors of the Stark Building are Tony's private space. Sometimes Tony lives there, but he prefers the villa on Malibu Beach.
When he went up to the top floor, Pepper was already waiting there.
"Tony! Where have you been? I've called you hundreds of times!" Pepper was indeed a little anxious. She was not a fool. Tony's recent behavior was obviously abnormal. This made her very worried, and at the same time she was very dissatisfied with Tony. If there was really something, he should tell her. Even if she couldn't help him, at least there was someone to discuss it with, instead of knowing nothing like now. If there was nothing, it would be even more unforgivable!
Tony didn't explain, but stepped forward and hugged Pepper.
Now Pepper couldn't ask any more questions, not to mention that Pepper could feel a sense of relief from Tony, which was much better than Tony's previous bastard look.
Pepper didn't say anything, just hugged Tony and patted his back gently.
Sometimes, Pepper feels that she is not in love, but raising a son.
Tony is willful, picky, doesn't like to consider others, and is mean. In short, he is a typical adolescent boy. But Pepper knows that behind these words, Tony is a sensitive boy who desires attention and is extremely fragile. He desires love but is afraid of losing it, so he likes to disguise himself with cynicism. He is afraid that others will enter his heart, but at the same time he desires to be loved. He is a very contradictory guy.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Tony sniffed Pepper's nice hair fragrance and was about to say something. Jarvis suddenly spoke.
"Sir, I have to bother you. You have a visitor."
"I don't want to receive anyone for the time being. Let him come tomorrow."
"I think you have to see him. He is already in the house." Jarvis' voice seemed to reveal a hint of helplessness.
"What?" Tony subconsciously wanted to put on his armor, but he had just thrown his Mark IV armor disguised as a suitcase on the side of the sofa, which was still some distance away from him. The house was big, which was a bad thing. After realizing that he couldn't put on the armor at the first time, Tony immediately shouted to Jarvis: "Start defense mode!"
Zi——!
There was a sound of mechanical movement, and more than a dozen six-barreled machine guns stretched out from the corners of the room. At the same time, a series of lasers shot out from nowhere, scanning the entire room! At the same time, several armors that were originally on standby rushed out from the standby position under the operation of Jarvis, blocking Tony and Pepper.
"Oh! Wait! Wait! I mean no harm!"
A black man in a black windbreaker appeared in Tony's living room, raised his hands, and looked at the weapons pointing at him in the room with a look of surprise. Is this your residence, Tony? Who the hell is so bored to install so many weapons in their own home?
