After a few days of quarreling with Tony, Finney gradually put the matter aside. He understood, but Tony's move to threaten him with the energy cannon was real, and he didn't want to put his face in cold buttocks.
So he didn't know what happened in the past few days. Tony retaliated against the terrorists in a normal future and destroyed the weapons sold by his company in secret.
At the same time, the remaining terrorists also contacted Obaday on their own, so the Iron Monger, who was temporarily without energy, was also born.
After that, Tony began to urgently investigate the weapons department. After his personal verification, it was confirmed that the weapons used by the terrorists were indeed provided by his company.
According to the company's records, all signs pointed out that Obaday was the mastermind behind these scenes, but he now lacked a direct evidence.
As the boss's assistant, Pepper had to report after finishing her work every day, and also brought the documents that needed to be signed to Tony. This work was usually done in Tony's villa.
Although the relationship between the two seemed to have changed after the previous dance, the gap in identity made them both a little unnatural and unable to really open their hearts.
In the studio, Tony used tools to debug the various parts of Mark II. After the last real-life combat, he found many areas that needed improvement.
Seeing Tony concentrating on studying the armor again, Pepper felt very complicated. She didn't know what Tony had experienced during that time, but the current change made her very uneasy.
Especially when she saw the armor full of bullet holes and cannon marks that day, she was afraid that she would lose Tony again.
Just as she was thinking about how to persuade Tony not to do such dangerous things again, Tony also noticed her arrival and took the lead to say: "Hey, are you free? Can you help me?"
"Go to my office, hack into the computer host, and get all the shipping lists."
As he said, he handed over a black USB flash drive and explained: "You can use it to get in. It may be in the administrative folder or in the hidden disk."
In fact, Tony also thought about going back to the company to check, but if Obadiah was wary of him, it would be difficult to act secretly, and it might even alert the enemy. If he asked other people to help, only Happy and Pepper could be trusted.
But Happy is a computer idiot who doesn't even know how to copy and paste, and he has no good reason to go to the office, so only Pepper can help him.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Pepper asked worriedly after taking the USB drive.
"I want to find my weapons and destroy them!" Tony said firmly. Thinking of the tragic state of the town before, he felt that he had to do this.
"Tony..."
Pepper also thought of the scene a few days ago. With deep worry in her eyes, she advised, "You can't do this. I can't help you."
"I've decided that I will no longer attend the opening ceremony, do charity, or... sign documents!" Tony looked straight at Pepper and said, "My only task is to destroy these weapons, that's all."
"That's all!?"
Pepper laughed angrily. Her eyes became more and more complicated as she looked at Tony. Finally, she took a deep breath and said, "Then I quit!"
Tony obviously didn't expect Pepper to say that. Looking at her throwing away the USB flash drive and preparing to turn around and leave, he immediately stepped forward and said, "For so many years, you have been helping me make those ill-gotten gains, but now I want to atone for my sins, but you want to leave!?"
"Because you are committing suicide, Tony, I really can't do it."
"I should have died." Tony once again thought of what Ethan said to him when he died in the cave. Sitting on the chair next to him, he said complicatedly, "Unless I have a reason to live."
"I'm not crazy. I just understand what I should do. I think there is really no choice for me!"
Seeing Tony's helpless and lonely look, Pepper couldn't bear to leave. After a sigh, she turned around to take back the USB drive, looked at Tony and said, "I have no choice but you!"
If Finny were here, he would definitely complain: the room is full of dog food.
"By the way, wait a minute." When Pepper was about to leave, Tony suddenly thought of something and called her. After searching on the table for a long time, he found a note and said, "If there is any accident, besides me, you can also call this number to ask him to help, apologize for me, and say I owe him one."
For his beloved Pepper, Tony can choose to put down some of his face. Finny's ability is weird and unpredictable. That teleportation is the best backup candidate he can think of to save the situation.
"He is?"
Hearing Tony's words, Pepper was surprised. She had never seen anyone who could make Tony say that.
"A little boy who can do magic tricks."
Although they had only met twice, Tony felt that he had some understanding of Finny's character. As long as he was willing to apologize and admit his mistakes, the other party would agree to help him.
As if he was worried that such a statement would cause Pepper to misunderstand, Tony added: "It's not an ordinary magic trick. Anyway, if there is any dangerous situation, you can call him for help."
Pepper still had a confused expression on her face, but seeing that Tony said so, she carefully wrote down the number and prepared to go to the company to help Tony find information.
If she followed the normal trajectory, Pepper would have found the evidence of Obadiah's client kidnapping Tony and secretly making Iron Man safely.
But the accident came quietly.
Perhaps it was because of Finny's appearance and intervention that Tony's heart did not swell so much after making the armor, and his relationship with Obadiah became a little worse, which aroused Obadiah's more vigilance.
So Pepper suffered. When copying files on the computer, he was caught by Obadiah.
"You had Tony kidnapped!"
In the office, Pepper angrily questioned Obadiah, "He has always treated you as a family member."
"But you saw how he treats me now." Obadiah sneered and replied coldly, "I built and expanded this company, and Tony is just an inventor. What qualifications does he have to control the company? Now he wants to destroy it."
"Pepper, you are a good woman. It's a pity to follow someone like Tony. Come and help me. Together, if you get the small Ark reactor technology in Tony's hands, we can control the whole world."
He~tui!
Obadiah was still thinking about winning over Pepper, but Pepper was obviously not a traitor like Casillas. After spitting at Obadiah to show her attitude, she stepped back in fear.
At the same time, she quietly reached into the bag on her arm, ready to call the police.
Unfortunately, there were only the two of them in the room, and her every move could not be hidden from Obadiah who was staring at her closely.
Obaday thought Pepper had hidden some weapon in his bag, so he rushed over and prepared to strike first. However, considering their past relationship and his current position, he did not plan to kill him directly.
Seeing Obaday's action, Pepper did not bother to hide anymore, and immediately reached into his bag to take out his cell phone. He did not have time to press the button to select a contact, and directly pressed the dial button.
The number was exactly the phone number of Finny that he had just saved!
Try hard, try hard!
