Of course, that wasn't Luke's intent.
Pepper and the tycoon were too entangled. Only an idiot would steal Pepper away.
But from what he remembered in his previous life, it seemed that Pepper later took full charge of Stark Industries?
He wasn't sure from memory, but based on the current development of Stark Industries, Tony, who was obsessed with toys and his superhero identity, clearly wouldn't let himself be caught up in complicated business affairs.
Pepper was the only person he absolutely trusted to run the company.
From this point of view, Luke didn't mind fostering favor with Pepper.
Tony was awesome, but Pepper, the keeper of the purse strings, also had terrifying authority.
Besides, Pepper was a million times easier to deal with than Tony, because… she was a woman.
Thus, he decisively slipped away with Pepper in stealth mode.
