Chapter 74: No one can take my Pepper, huh!

Villa on the Black Coast, Liberty City.
For the past few days, Tony Stark has been staying in his Villa in the City of Liberty, and even Stark Industries in New York has not returned.
Tony felt very lucky. Although the land he bought at the time was not expensive, it was secretive and very comprehensive. He had a variety of materials and equipment, even if Tony was going to make a very high-tech steel. Armor, the reserve of Liberty City can also fully meet Tony's needs.
A few days later, the manufacturing of Tony's steel armor Mark 2 has come to an end. Now the Mark 2 has basically taken shape and has the ability to act.
Compared to the clumsy and ugly Mark 1, Mark 2 is simply a delicate diamond. It has the shape that completely conforms to Tony's body, and the silver-white outer metal that has not been dyed also exudes the most crude and rough atmosphere of metal. No. 2 is perfectly flawless.
Tony has just passed the initial flight test, so he can't wait to put Mark 2 on his body immediately. After debugging the kinetic energy of Mark 2, he is ready to conduct the first experiment directly.
"Jarvis, check the weather conditions and the automatic tool indexing device, listen to the airport tower channel, and prepare for the first flight!" Tony ordered the artificial intelligence Jarvis.
Jarvis began to respond: "Sir, the armor needs at least 1000g of calculation before it can enter the actual flight. If you enter now ..."
"Jarvis!" Tony smiled, looking very confident: "Sometimes you have to learn to run before you learn to walk. This is called growth!"
Jarvis didn't answer, he was just an artificial intelligence and couldn't understand these, so he was listening carefully and learning what Tony had said.
"Jarvis, are you ready?" Tony asked, and he got a positive response from Jarvis.
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, ready to count down ..."
"three."
"two."
"One."
After counting, Tony was ready to fly, then Mark 2 instantly took off and flew out from the basement exit, straight into the sky.
At first, Tony still couldn't control Mark 2. But after a short flight, Tony quickly learned the flying skills, as if he was born to fly.
Tony experimented with a lot of things. He first experimented with the speed of Mark 2 and found that the speed limit of Mark 2 is 800 kilometers per hour, which has exceeded the speed of sound and is on par with some fighters.
After experimenting for a while, Tony started experimenting with the altitude capability of Mark 2 again. You need to know that the closer the sky is, the lower the air pressure will be. How high can Mark 2 continue to fly? An unknown number.
Tony didn't hesitate, he immediately directed Jarvis to fly up the sky, and wanted to see if he could break the record of 85,000 feet of the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft.
"The record is used to break, come on, Jarvis!"
Tony shouted for Jarvis, and then Mark 2 flew up, not long after entering tens of thousands of feet.
Then Mark 2 had icing problems ...
"Sir, if the steel armor continues to fly upwards, the icing problem may cause the armor to be damaged. Do you need to continue?" Jarvis's cordial greeting sounded.
Tony made an unquestionable voice, "Keep flying, we haven't broken the record yet!"
A moment later, Mark 2 was close to 85,000 feet, and Tony gave Jarvis a boost, and finally broke the height record.
However, the problem followed. At this time, Mark 2 had completely frozen, frozen the armored aircraft, lost the kinetic energy of the armor, and began to fall quickly.
"Jarvis, we're frozen, hurry up and unfold the aileron, Jarvis!"
Tony was anxious, he called Jarvis, trying to get out of this predicament.
Finally, just when Tony was about to fall to the ground, Jarvis recovered, revived Mark 2 again, and flew into the sky again.
"Oh huh ..."
Tony roared excitedly, he had never experienced the feeling of falling from the sky, it was so cool!
After flying for a while, Tony finally returned to the Liberty City Villa. Although there were some mistakes when landing, which caused him to smash a car of his own, this is not the point.
The point is that his steel armor program has been successful, and with Mark 2 his life is no longer as fragile as before.
After taking off Mark 2, Tony took a bath and returned to the basement, ready to sleep in the basement.
He has hardly ever gone out of the basement to make Mark 2 these days, and sleeping in the basement makes Tony feel comfortable.
As he walked inside, Tony noticed something, a box and a cup of coffee, which seemed to have been delivered by Pepper a few days ago.
Tony took away a sentence of completely inedible coffee, opened the box, and found that the box was the first-generation arc reactor that he hadn't replaced much energy before, and was about to be scrapped.
Tonyton smiled comfortably when he saw that Pepper hadn't dropped the arc reactor, but left it back to him.
Pepper Poz, this woman, has sprouted slowly in his heart!
"Youhavebody, yougivesoul ..."
And just then, Tony's cell phone started ringing, which was the prelude to his favorite song, thefuturist. (Spoof)
The caller was Pepper. Tony exhaled helplessly and answered the phone: "Hey, Pepper, you call me, wouldn't you want to persuade me to see that Ron?"
"..." Tony uttered his purpose, Pepper was silent for a while. She had called Tony several times before to persuade him, but Tony still didn't agree to see Ron, very stubborn.
But how could Pepper give up, so Pepper organized a new reason and began to persuade Tony.
"Tony, I know you can't afford to pay Ron to Osborne Industry, but think about it, you've spent it, you are the employer, and Ron is the employee, but this is your business. Cheap, so what do you have to stick to? "
Because of the previous arc reactor, Tony did not answer Pepper in the same tone as before, but was a lot gentler.
"Pepper ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I haven't said what I'm going to do yet, that guy has offered compensation, which obviously means that I'm begging him. Tony Stark has never asked for anything in my life. No, this time! "
Pepper touched his forehead: "Tony, you are the same again."
"Well, Tony, I won't persuade you. Tomorrow's firefighters' house in New York will have a charity evening. Major companies in New York will attend. It is also very likely that Ron is now a major shareholder of Osborne Industry. Yes, I will meet him again, and ask him again. "
Knowing that this method would not work, Pepper used a radical method that she had previously thought of, and before waiting for Tony to answer, she hung up the phone and excited Tony.
"I have a lot of things to do, bye, Tony ... toot, toot, toot ~"
Hearing the hang-up sound from the phone, Tony's face became a little greener. He glanced at the arc reactor on his chest, and immediately went to the bathroom, taking care of the beard that had not been cleaned for several days.
"No one can take my Pepper, hum ..."
