Chapter 11 - Bodyguard

"Tony, Tomson, you should be a little faster, the plane is already waiting." Pepper shouted at them.

After seeing Tomson and Tony Stark got up and washed their faces slowly, and the Pepper Potts couldn't help it but go up to urged the two to hurry.

According to the plan, she had to wake up Tony Stark and Tomson more than an hour ago. They're both sleeping like a pig, and she knew that if she doesn't wake them up, they would be late for sure.

Now time is almost up, if the two are not going to be faster, they will miss the meeting time.

"What is with this urgency? They ask us to buy our weapons, its not the other way around. So don't worry about it. Let's go with our pace." Tomson said while washing his face.

"Hey, Tomson, although you have never been to participate in our Stark industry activities but I have to say, that you are not wrong this time." Tony Stark came over from the side and said, while finishing his clothes, he smiled.

"….." Pepper Pott was speechless.

"Tony, this time we go to Afghanistan, did you get any bodyguards, and the private guards to follow us?" Tomson suddenly said to Tony Stark.

"What kind of bodyguard, private guard, don't you think that such a person will be very annoying? In addition, this time there is James, Colonel Rhodey that will accompany us, and when we arrive, we will go to the military camp in Afghanistan. Together, there is no danger at all. Under such circumstances, there will nothing to fear." Tony Stark told Tomson with the carefree behavior.

"The world is so chaos. Even there is not a terrorist in Afghanistan, who knows if we will be attacked by them after we come back. No matter what, we are one of the largest arms manufacturers in USA. If those people attack us, they will get a huge benefit right?" Tomson explained.

"You are right in this case, but don't worry, there will be no problem. This is just a very ordinary press conference. The Afghanistan military will not let them harm us."Tony Stark said.

"Of course we will not have an accident in the Afghanistan military's territory, but after we finish trading the weapons with them, we come back and go out of their territory. If we have an accident in the process. What do we do then?" Tomson looked at Tony.

"Tomson, how could I don't know that you are so afraid of death?" Tony Stark said.

"Yes, I am afraid, you know that I was attacked last night, and now I am very sensitive to everything. Therefore, I strongly urge that this trip to Afghanistan we must bring professional bodyguards. The team must be good expert. In addition, we have a lot of portable Attack Weapons in Stark Industries. Let us carry them too. If I don't have any weapons, I don't feel at ease. Apart from us, I strongly demand the bodyguards also have to be fully armed." Tomson suggested.

"Ahhh… Tomson, I know you were attacked yesterday. But this arrangement is too exaggerated." Tony Stark looked at Tomson with wide eyes.

"What exaggeration is there? Some other arms dealers, rich people, are they all not arranged in this way? As far as I know, Obadiah Stane, when that guy travels, he has many bodyguards. I am also a 10% shareholder in Stark Industries. I want to get some bodyguards. It doesn't seem to be too much with my identity. Right?" Tomson strongly demanded.

"This… well, if you want it, then you have it your way but Tomson, don't you think this is very shameful? I have participated in many conferences before, but I have never done it like this before, so do you think my prestige will damage?" Tony Stark put his hand his chin and asked.

"Fuck you, Tony, I seriously doubt how you lived till now. Fortunately, I used to be very low-key. I don't go out very much. People from outside are basically not concerned about me. Otherwise, if I am high-profile as you are, without a bodyguard. I already have been killed by people long ago." Tomson looked speechless at Tony Stark.

"Tony, I think Tomson's words are correct. You really have to get some bodyguards. I believe in James Rhodey but currently, you are going to another country. In our native country, naturally, there are not many people who dare to attack you, because FBI has been closely watching your situation and doing various secret protections for you, but for other countries you should take precautions." Pepper Potts said.

"Okay, okay, just follow what this scarelycat said." Tony Stark shook his head and followed, let Pepper arrange it, and also ask her to arrange some burgers for him to eat on the plane too.

Under such circumstances, Tomson and Tony Stark came to airport. There was already a private plane parked here. At the same time, James, who wearing a military uniform, was already waiting for them there.

Unlike the original story, Tony Stark went with James and Colonel Roddy in the Jeep. Now, not only they have Tomson but there are also 16 Armed Guards escort them.

These sixteen black-shirted men look ordinary, but they have undergone rigorous training.

Time pass by, soon they has arrived at their destination.

Stark Industries, Obadiah Stane's office

Obadiah Stane got the news that Tomson and Tony Stark has gone to Afghanistan. He had evil smile on his face.

"Very good, I was only prepared to take out Tony alone. I didn't expect this brat Tomson also follow them. Tomson, although this guy doesn't appear in the meeting but in any case, he is Howard's Son, and has 10% of the shares, since he want to goes together, even if he is just a useless guy, he doesn't need to come back too." Obadiah Stane smiled coldly, then he used the mail to command his men.
