American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune

After hearing Obadiah's "praise", Pepper Potts suddenly raised his hand, used all his strength, rounded his arm, and slapped Obadiah firmly on the face!

Pepper's eyes were filled with tears, like a furious mother animal whose cubs were threatened and hurt, she roared in a low voice: "Shut up! You don't deserve to call me Piper!! You don't deserve to mention Tony!!!"

Aaron saw that Pepper Potts couldn't control her emotions and was about to go over to scratch her, so he quickly stepped forward to separate her from Obadiah.

Aaron gently held Pepper's slender wrist and whispered comfort: "Ms. Potts, this kind of person is not worth your anger. Don't lose your cool because of him. Mr. Stark still needs you."

Pepper Potts lowered his head and was speechless, crying.

It's angry and sad, but it also hurts.

She is an urban beauty. She has never yelled at anyone like this in her life, and she has never touched anyone at all. As a result, she used too much force and twisted her wrist...

This is also the reason why Aaron held Little Pepper's wrist. If he didn't take care of it quickly, it would become red and swollen before his eyes.

Aaron kneaded gently for a while, and subtle ripples of energy were transmitted. Xiaojiao felt a numbness, as if a slight electric current was passing through, and a stream of heat surrounded the wrist, and the pain was greatly relieved.

It’s still the familiar formula, and it’s still the familiar warm sunshine taste.

"Huh~, uh~, I understand...thank you." Pepper Potts took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down her emotions, saying that she was fine.

Aaron also let go of his hand in time.

After being slightly absent-minded for a moment, Pepper Potts' anger dissipated a bit and she woke up. Now is not the time to act impulsively. She must stay calm. Tony still needs her help...

"Uh-huh! Cough!"

A male voice came from behind Pepper Potts. Aaron looked up and saw a fat, middle-aged white man walking out of the room on the other side of the interrogation room, following Pepper.

This man has good facial features, a neat crew cut, and a round waist.

His shoulders are narrower than Aaron's, but his waist is at least two and a half times that of Aaron's. But he is not puffy. He is a solid fat man with solid flesh. He feels quite oppressive. At this time, he is looking at him critically. Aaron.

"Piper, are you okay?" The fat man said as he walked up to Pepper Potts, vaguely separating Aaron and Pepper.

Aaron didn't care, and knew that what he did just now seemed a bit ambiguous to outsiders, so he took a step back to make space for the two of them.

"I'm fine, Happy." Pepper Potts said, patting the fat man's thick arm.

This big fat man is naturally Tony Stark's driver, bodyguard and sidekick, Happy Hogan.

This person was specially called by Pepper Potts. Although he may not be of much use himself, at least he is absolutely loyal to Tony Stark and his ability to do things is not bad. There is always something he can use.

The key is that Xiaojiao is dealing with such a big organization alone, and without any helper, he feels a little unsure.

This at least provides some spiritual comfort. After all, this image gives people a sense of security.

Of course, after watching the whole process of Aaron's arrest of Obadiah, Pepper's definition of security has changed slightly.

Coulson also understood the situation and agreed.

Obadiah had been escorted away by Coulson's order. At this time, he came to Pepper Potts and said warmly: "Ms. Potts, it seems that the next step is up to you."

The most dangerous and difficult thing to guard against is when the people around you become enemies. Obadiah is like this to Tony Stark, and Pepper Potts is the same to Obadiah.

Pepper, who often deals with Tony Stark and Obadiah, can basically stand up to half of the CEO of Stark Group, so the investigation will be more effective with half the effort.

When it came time to get down to business, the fat guy Happy also had a serious look on his face and took half a step back to stand behind Little Pepper.

"I will. I will go back to the group right away. While the authority given to me by Obadiah is still there, I will thoroughly investigate all his information."

Speaking of which, Pepper's temporary assumption of Stark's power was Obadiah's expedient for a few days in order to stabilize the morale of the military, smooth the transition, and reduce the turmoil in the transfer of the group's rights.

And in fact, Pepper's work has not changed much from his usual work. It's just that he used to listen to Tony Stark, the hands-off boss, to act on his behalf, but now he listens to Obadiah, the acting president.

Obadiah never expected that the incident would happen and he would be captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.

This also allowed Pepper to become the most powerful person in the Stark Group during this short period of time.

Of course, this is just a power vacuum period caused by a strange combination of circumstances, and the timeliness is extremely short. In a few days, other board members will definitely hold a board meeting.

Pepper wants to use this to cause trouble in the Stark Group, but there is basically no chance.

But there is definitely no problem in using the group's resources to fully assist in the search and rescue of Tony Stark.

Now there is no Obadiah secretly holding back, but in turn, Pepper Potts is helping. With this addition and subtraction, the situation is very different.

Afghanistan, Kunar Province.

A mountainous border area connected to the desert.

Before desertification, this place used to be green mountains and green waters, but now it is rarely visited.

However, somewhere in the small valley here, there is a different world.

This valley has been transformed into an armed base.

There are heavy machine gun sentry handles on both sides of the valley. There are dozens of armed men with turbans and turbans in the valley. The valley is full of boxes of different sizes with marks on them. It's "Stark Industries".

Some boxes have been opened, and inside are not only guns and ammunition of various models and sizes, but also rows of grenades, RPGs, broadsword mines, everything you need, all of which are the flagship products of the Stark Group. There would be no problem hosting a Stark arms show.

What's even more exaggerated is that in addition to the common types of individual arms, there are also dozens of surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles of different models, which is really a bluff!

What's strange is that there are no corresponding fixed or mobile missile launchers or missile vehicles. These missiles placed here are simply decorations and useless. There is the armed man who is tired of patrolling and is sitting on the missile. Take a cigarette break.

What's even more strange is that not only are there missiles that have no equipment to launch, but there are also several torpedoes... The water here is not enough, right? What do you mean?

Deep cave tunnels have been dug out of the mountain on one side of the valley, and the situation inside is very different from the outside.

Unlike the laziness of the militants patrolling outside, the cave was in full swing.

"Here is a list. You have to prepare all these for me... I also need enough light..."

A somewhat unshaven, unkempt middle-aged man was directing a group of people to move things around.

The middle-aged man is not in line with the style of painting here. It doesn't look like the local Arabs here. He is a white man of short stature. He looks a bit down and out, and his mental state is not very good. He is also a little short of energy and blood. look.

But even so, it can be seen that if he dresses well, he will definitely be a handsome and charming old man.

Especially the unconcealed wisdom and depth in this middle-aged man's eyes, which makes anyone with a discerning eye dare not underestimate him.
