Quickly putting on his newly developed Mark 8 armor, Tony came to the living room from the laboratory and saw the guest mentioned by J.A.R.V.I.S at a glance.
"It seems you are not Mandarin, right? Are you?"
As Tony spoke, he put down the charged palm cannon.
After all, the person who appeared in front of Tony was a delicate beauty, not the weirdly dressed old man on the TV screen.
Hearing Tony's question, the guest showed an awkward yet polite smile.
"It seems you don't remember me at all, but why am I not surprised at all?"
"Uh..." Tony was choked by the other party's words and didn't know what to say. His eyes were rolling around, thinking about how to deal with this embarrassing situation.
In fact, Tony not only clearly remembered the name of the woman in front of him, but also had a very "deep" understanding of her.
But precisely because of this, Tony had to pretend to be a noble man who forgets things.
After all, he has now turned back, and his relationship with Pepper is at a critical moment. Tony didn't want his current relationship with Pepper to be ruined by the romantic debts he incurred in the past.
"This is normal, isn't it? I don't remember what breakfast I had this morning..."
Tony finally found a topic and wanted to break the awkward atmosphere between the two. However, at this moment, J.A.R.V.I.S interjected without leaving any face to Tony: [You had gluten-free waffles for breakfast, sir. ]
"Got it, J.A.R.V.I.S!" Tony responded through gritted teeth, "But please don't interrupt me when I'm talking to the guests next time, okay?"
[Follow your will, sir. ]
"Okay, let's get down to business. What's the reason why you came here to see me 370?"
Seeing that Tony didn't want to get too entangled in the past, the other party didn't say anything more and said straight to the point: "I want to talk to you alone for a few words. It's best not to be here. This matter is very important."
While she was talking to Tony, her nervous eyes kept giving hints to Tony.
But Tony obviously misread the message in her eyes: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse. But I have an official girlfriend now..."
"Hey, Tony, why didn't you tell me in advance that a guest was coming to our house? What about the identity of this guest, wouldn't you introduce it to me?" It's really Cao Cao Cao Cao, which is what Tony doesn't want to face the most. Shura Field still happened.
Pepper walked downstairs and came to Tony's side. She looked at the woman opposite with a wary expression, waiting for Tony's response.
"Well...this is Maya Hansen, an excellent botanist, whom I met before, but actually we are not very familiar with each other. Yes, that's it."
After Tony said this, he saw a teasing smile on Maya Hansen's face.
"My dear, please go and get a glass of water for our guests. We still have something to talk about here. After we finish talking, I will introduce each other to you."
After taking Pepper away from him, Tony hurried to Maya and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to tell me that there is a twelve-year-old child I have never met waiting for me in the car outside..." ...…"
"It seems that some extra stimulation is helpful for memory recovery. Don't you think of my name now, even for twelve years? You are really good at it." Maya Hansen said in a weird way.
"Okay, can you not mention this? I don't want Pepper to know that we had a one-night stand." Tony begged in a low voice.
"You said something wrong, Tony." Maya suddenly became serious.
"What? Is the child already thirteen years old?!"
"..." Maya was truly speechless by Tony's shamelessness, and even began to wonder if it was a mistake for her to come here today.
But since Tony was out of character, Maya countered with an even more out of character performance:
"What I mean is that I didn't come here by car, and there aren't any twelve or thirteen-year-old kids outside. Whatever you left in my body, I have long since used my inner strength to release it."
"
"When I came over, I saw that there were all helicopters broadcasting news from various media outside. If Mandarin wants to respond to your provocation, he can let people get in among them."
"In short, I want to tell you that this place is no longer safe. You'd better leave quickly and find a safe place to hide for a while."
Unexpectedly, in the face of Maya's persuasion, Tony said indifferently: "If he has the courage, he can come here! I am worried that the investigation of the incident will be too troublesome. If he can send people to the door, then I don't have to So hard work on the investigation."
"Don't forget, although Stark Industries has now transformed into new energy, before that we had the largest weapons design and manufacturing department in the world!"
"As long as Mandarin's people show up, I will let them see how strong the defense system of this villa is after my transformation..."
Before Tony could finish his words, Maya pointed to the live broadcast of Tony's villa on the TV in the living room and shouted: "Hey, before you continue to brag, you'd better take a look at this!"
Tony looked in the direction of Maya's finger, and then saw a missile dragging a long tail heading towards them in the live broadcast.
"Gan! This Mandarin has no martial ethics! J.A.R.V.I.S————!" Tony shouted J.A.R.V.I.S.
With the intelligence of Javi (ahfa), although Tony did not give any orders, it still guessed what Tony meant.
The Mark 8 battle suit on Tony quickly decomposed and separated from his body, and then quickly transferred to Pepper's body, protecting Pepper.
As for Tony and Maya, facing the missile that was about to explode, Tony hugged Maya and then used his body as a shield to protect her under him.
boom!
Just as Tony completed this action, the missile had accurately hit the villa. The Shockwave generated by the explosion continued to shake the structure of the villa. The violent shaking caused the broken bricks and stones to begin to fall, hitting Tony's back.
"My-back! My-back!" Tony couldn't help shouting out because of the huge amounts of pain, but he was lucky and did not receive too many injuries from this wave of attacks.
But it's hard to say what happens next. Just as Maya predicted just now, the people from Lin's accident came straight to Tony's villa in an armed helicopter.
The missile just now was not only a test by them, but also a clear response to Tony's provocation.
They did not directly launch large-scale bombings in order to give the media helicopters conducting live broadcasts some reaction time, so that they could retreat to a safe position and broadcast what they had done.
After all, if they responded and no one knew about it, wouldn't the attack be in vain?
Among the ruins of the villa, Tony endured the pain and stood up, and at the same time asked Maya underneath him: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, cough." Maya shook her head, but she was choked by the smoke and dust in the surrounding air.
"Pepper, how's the situation over there?" Tony yelled and asked Pepper again.
"I'm safe, don't worry." Pepper wore a suit and pushed against a wall that collapsed due to the explosion, "What should we do next?"
Such critical times. Pepper couldn't care less about blaming Tony. The top priority was to get out of the immediate danger.
"You take Maya and go first, I'll stay to deal with them. There are so many media broadcasting live, and I can't let them show off their power." Tony commanded.
"Then I'll return the battle suit to you..."
Tony interrupted Pepper and said: "Leave me alone, you go first! When you reach a safe location, I will naturally ask J.A.R.V.I.S to send the battle suit back."
Hearing this, Pepper also knew that he could not persuade Tony, so he no longer wasted time and immediately picked up Maya Hansen who was beside him, and then blasted a hole in the wall not far away.
He took Maya and flew directly out of the ruins.
As soon as Pepper left with Maya, the second missile sent by Mandarin arrived.
--boom!
Because the structure of the villa had been damaged before, the noise caused by the explosion was even more violent this time. Tony also lost his balance and fell directly to the floor.
It didn't matter that he fell, but the ground below could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered directly.
And Tony's whole body naturally fell into the basement along with the broken fragments of the floor.
"Asshole, I haven't been this embarrassed in a long time! But...why do I feel that my body is getting hotter and hotter?"
As he spoke, Tony raised his hands and looked at his palms. At the moment, his palms were constantly steaming, and the skin and flesh were unusually red and bright.
"What...what's going on?" Looking at his hands...it shouldn't be said that this kind of abnormality appeared all over his body, Tony, who did not change his expression even in the face of a missile attack, said I couldn't help but panic.
