This place is an industrial park, a bit remote! How urgent is it?" The driver took a look at the address on his phone.
"In twenty minutes, I'll pay double the fare!"
"Wow!" With a step on the accelerator, the car started moving quickly.
In the speeding car, Leo saw many cars driving in the same direction around him, and even overtook some. It seemed as if they all had the same destination.
"What are these cars?"
The driver also took a glance and said, "These are cars from TV stations, as well as newspapers like The New York Times and The New York Daily News!"
"How do you know? These cars don't have any stickers showing it!"
"They run around recklessly every day, even crazier than us taxi drivers, a bunch of lunatics!" The driver seemed to have a lot of complaints. He stepped on the accelerator, chased after them, and followed closely behind the car.
Eighteen minutes later, the taxi stopped steadily outside the gate of the Stark factory, and the driver looked at it expectantly.
Leo also kept his promise and paid double the fare.
He got off the car and walked towards the gate. Many reporters also hurried over.
Leo's appearance was not at all conspicuous, but one has to admire the group members' means. This news was really timely, no worse than those of the reporters.
But Leo's young age still caused him inconvenience.
He was stopped by the guard at the door.
"Hey, kid, where are your family members? You can't go in here!"
"Miss Pepper Potts sent me here!" Leo said boldly.
The guard scratched his head and said, "Little boy, I don't remember Miss Potts having any Asian friends. Sorry, unless you can give her a call!"
Leo pursed his lips, looked at the surrounding walls, and left.
He picked a wall where no one was, raised his hands lightly, and the metal piece under his shoes lifted Leo up and flew in lightly.
He walked quickly towards the formal interview venue. There was still a long distance from the gate to the venue. During the walk, he saw all kinds of luxury cars rushing in, all for the purpose of meeting Tony Stark.
Leo also quickened his pace. After a while, he arrived at the door of a building. It was full of people, most of whom were employees in neat suits, all waiting outside for the arrival of the main person.
There was also a bald man with a white beard and a light blue striped suit standing at the door, wearing a pair of sunglasses and talking to the people around him.
Leo's eyes narrowed, "Obaday!"
That is Stark's closest uncle, Obaday, who is also the mastermind behind Tony's kidnapping, the driver of Iron Monger, and the final boss of Steel 1.
Leo glanced at the metal watch on his wrist. He could kill him with just a thought.
Of course, Leo would definitely not do that now, and did not pay much attention to Obade because he believed that Obade was not a threat to him.
After passing through the gate, we went straight into the hall, where forty or fifty reporters from different media gathered.
There are many "long guns and short cannons" set up in front of the stage, pointing at the podium, which will record every detail of the press conference.
Leo stood silently behind all the reporters, waiting for Tony's arrival, but at this time he saw a familiar figure.
A figure who always has a kind smile, wears a black suit, and has a prominent hairline.
Agent Phil Coulson, a Level 7 agent of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency.
Leo was still considering whether to make contact, but soon there was warm applause and cheers coming from outside, it seemed that the real person had arrived.
After a while, Tony came in with a cheeseburger in his hand, surrounded by a group of people. Obaday beside him hugged Tony affectionately.
Pepper and Happy followed right behind.
Obadi took Tony to the stage without stopping, preparing for his speech.
When Coulson saw Pepper, his eyes lit up and he walked over.
Leo also successfully came to Pepper's side and blocked Coulson.
"Miss Potts!"
Coulson didn't expect Leo to intervene. He stood behind Leo and looked at the child in front of him.
Pepper turned around and saw Coulson first before looking down and seeing Leo.
"Oh, kid, hi, little friend, what can I do for you?"
Leo didn't know what to say for a moment, so he raised the small metal model in his hand and handed it to Pepper.
"Oh, you are! You are that kid!" Pepper looked at Leo in surprise. The smart girl reacted immediately. After all, the model in her hand was so similar to the one Tony gave her.
Pepper was wondering where to find the little Asian boy she met in Las Vegas three months ago.
But I didn't expect that he would come to me on his own initiative.
"Kid, what's your name? I need your help with something, okay?" Pepper squatted down and said to Leo excitedly.
"My name is Leo, Miss Potts, and I think the gentleman behind me wants to see you for something. I can wait a moment!"
Coulson was even more confused. There seemed to be no information about this child in the file. Who was he?
But he also stepped forward and said, "Ms. Potts, I'm Agent Phil Coulson. I work for the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency."
Pepper looked at Coulson and said, "That's a really hard name to pronounce."
Coulson handed over a business card. "I know. We're working on that, too."
Pepper didn't show any expression. Instead, she kept looking at Leo beside her. "The Department of Defense, the FBI, and the CIA have all contacted us."
"We are an independent department with more centralized functions. We would like to ask Mr. Stark to describe the escape process in detail!" Coulson continued with a smile.
Pepper sighed helplessly, glanced at Tony on the stage, and said as if it was normal, "I'll arrange it, okay?"
Coulson was also very tactful. He saw that Pepper had no desire to continue the conversation, so he thanked her and left with a smile.
"Leo, can we talk together after Tony comes down?" Pepper said to Leo kindly.
"Of course, I miss Mr. Stark too!" Leo looked at Tony in front of him and laughed.
...
"Hey, can everyone sit down?" Tony, who was sitting on the steps leaning against the podium, said, and took out a cheeseburger from his pocket.
"This way everyone can see me, and I can do the same. Everyone can be more casual!" He took a big bite of the cheeseburger.
Obaday also sat down next to Stark. Pepper and Leo also squatted down.
Rhodes also came to Pepper's side, squatted and asked, "What does he want to do?"
"Don't look at me, I don't know what he is going to do!" Pepper looked at Tony in front of her with a smile.
Rhode looked at Leo beside him strangely. Leo grinned, and Rhode was puzzled. "Who is this kid?"
