Marvel's Umbrella

Although Tony is a genius, he is a mechanical genius, not a genetic genius.

So after researching for a while, I didn’t find anything special about the gene of minced meat, but I was even more confused.

Of course, if he wanted to learn, he could quickly master genetic knowledge.

But no matter how fast it is, it will still take several months.

It seems that I must find a biologist.

"Tony, breakfast is ready."

At this time, Pepper's voice sounded outside the door.

So Tony had to suspend his research and came outside.

I saw Pepper, who had changed into a black low-cut dress, with her hair tied up, like a good wife and mother, carrying a plate and looking for him outside.

And on the plate was one of his favorite burgers.

But when he got closer, he discovered that the burger was not filled with fried chicken or beef patties, but with ham slices and lettuce.

Faced with this burger without cheese and beef patty, he didn't want to eat it, but looking at Pepper's expectant eyes, he still picked it up and ate it silently.

"Yeah, it tastes good."

Seeing Tony devouring his food, Pepper immediately smiled and felt very happy.

Even if you were dissatisfied just now when someone you like complimented you on your cooking skills, it disappeared now.

"Don't worry, eat slowly. If you like it, I'll make another one for you."

Hearing this, Tony's movements in his hands paused slightly.

"No, I'm full..."

This almost vegetarian burger didn't have the satisfaction brought by high calories at all, so naturally it couldn't satisfy him.

"All right."

After a while, Pepper left with the dinner plate.

"Jarvis, create a new file...Mark IV!"

In fact, Tony would not have eliminated Mark III so quickly, but after last night's battle, he found that Mark III was still too weak.

Neither armor nor attack were enough to deal with that monster.

If the monster hadn't suddenly stood still and grown wings, he would have had no choice but to run away in embarrassment.

And until now, the weapons sold by Stark Enterprises have not been found, so stronger armor is needed to continue the action.

"Yes, Mr. Stark."

Just as Tony was designing the Mark IV, Pepper came over again.

“Tony, I think we have to have a talk.

Where did you go last night? Why was he injured so badly? "

In fact, after Tony let her go last night, she came to the villa to find Tony.

But he didn't find the other party, so he came again this morning.

But I didn't expect to find Tony in such a mess, as if he had gone through some horrific battle.

While preparing breakfast just now, she had been thinking calmly, and finally decided that she must have a good talk with Tony.

If it didn't work out, she decided to leave Tony.

Because she didn't want to wake up one day and find the man she liked lying in a pool of blood, or that he never came back and died somewhere unknown.

Tony turned off the projection in front of him and turned to look at Pepper.

"Pepper, I have something I need you to do."

"Tony, you can't be like this, we need to have a frank chat."

"I'll be honest with you, but I need you to do me a favor now."

Seeing Tony's solemn expression, Pepper finally gave in.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to go to Stark Tower, my office, hack into the computer host, and get all the recent shipping lists."

After finishing speaking, Tony took out a thumb-thick USB flash drive.

"Take this, use it to hack in.

The shipping list may be in the administrative folder. If not, it may be in a hidden disk. You can just find the one with the lowest number. "

After taking the USB flash drive, Pepper asked doubtfully: "If I get this data, what are you going to do?"

Tony was relieved when he saw Pepper agreeing, so he continued to design the Mark IV.

"Someone has been doing a backroom deal and I have to stop them, find our weapons, and destroy them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, Pepper's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard that it was such a dangerous thing.

"Tony, you know I am willing to do anything for you, but if you continue like this, I will have no choice but to leave..."

Needless to say, she knew that destroying these weapons was definitely not a matter of saying a few words in the past, but that she had to go through battle, life and death.

Just like what I saw this morning, maybe the next time I see Tony is a corpse.

This made her feel very uncomfortable and panicked, and she decided to leave as a warning to Tony, hoping that this would be the only time.

Tony also immediately understood what Pepper meant, but his eyes were still very firm.

"I will continue to do this in the future. I will no longer attend the opening ceremony, do charity, or sign documents. It will always be like this!

This is my task and responsibility, nothing more! "

As he spoke, he came to Pepper.

Looking at the heartbroken eyes of the other party, he felt shaken in his heart, but when he thought of Dr. Ethan who sacrificed his life for himself, and the civilians who died under the weapons he made, his heart was filled with a great sense of responsibility.

You must stop this!

When Pepper saw Tony's determined eyes, she felt even more sad.

She doesn't want the other party to take risks or fight.

She just wants a safe man who at least won't die one day.

After a while, she lowered her head, and the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back.

"I resign..."

After finishing speaking, he threw the USB flash drive in his hand on the table next to him and walked towards the door.

Watching Pepper leave with heavy steps, Tony felt a pain in his heart.

"For so many years, you have been helping me sell weapons and earn ill-gotten gains from killing civilians...

I want to atone for my sins now, but you want to quit? "

Hearing this, Pepper immediately turned around.

Kill civilians yourself? Earn ill-gotten gains?

Because Tony had not shown her the photo of Gu Mira, she did not know that the weapons produced by Stark Enterprises had actually been used to kill civilians.

Of course, she is not a complete novice. For someone who has been able to achieve this position and has been doing it for so long, it is impossible for her to know everything. It is just that because there is no actual evidence, she has always pretended that she does not know.

But now that Tony has put it on the table, it's a bit hard for her to accept.

"You are committing suicide now, Tony, and I don't want to die with you."

Seeing that Pepper really knew something, Tony immediately sat down on his chair in despair and said with a self-deprecating look on his face: "I should have committed suicide to atone for my sins, unless I had a reason to live...

I'm not crazy, Pepper.

I just figured out what I should do...

I have no choice..."

When he thought that the weapons he made had caused great harm to the world and massacred countless civilians, the morality and conscience in his heart were like ants, eating away at his whole body.

After hearing all this, and looking at Tony who suddenly burst into masculinity in front of him, Pepper finally fell.

"well…"

With a low sigh, she went back and picked up the USB flash drive.

"I have no choice but you."

Sometimes, love always takes over in life.
