Silkaria.
Inside Pepper Potts' office.
Compared to her previous working environment in New York, she now feels like a vampire locked in a castle.
"I don't understand why I have to work in an old study that belonged to a nobleman 200 years ago."
"I admit it's old, but every time I sign a document, I feel like there's a mouse crawling behind the bookshelf."
Pepper turned the pen in his hand. A large number of documents were scattered on the heavy wooden table with historical value.
She was complaining to Silver Sable on the other side of the phone, who was Silver, the boss of the Wild Chapter.
"Oh, honey, that's a castle."
"But for our great Mr. Stark, who sponsors a large sum of money for this poor country."
"I heard that the castle used to be used exclusively by the royal family for vacation, and ordinary people are not qualified to get close to it."
Silver was in the casino, and even through the sound of the phone, Pepper could hear the shouts of cards being dealt and dice being thrown.
Completely different from the quiet castle, the outside world is really lively.
"Hey~"
Pepper sighed.
Great Mr. Stark, she has heard this title repeatedly during these days in this country.
The arrival of Tony Stark gave the small country of Silkaria excessive vitality.
But she was not happy at all.
"I don't know what to say, um... maybe, Whitney will be better after she comes back?!"
"As for Obadiah's funeral, I mean, he was Tony's uncle, Whitney's father."
"And Whitney and Tony had met as kids, and I thought they could talk."
Pepper bit the end of the pen and frowned with a headache. She didn't even know what she was talking about.
In short...she felt that Tony needed to calm down recently, and it would be best if someone could talk to him.
"Don't worry, according to the information provided to me by Mr. Jarvis, Whitney was last seen in Las Vegas."
"I will be able to find the specific location soon and bring the person back to you."
Silver said that Pepper could rest assured that he was doing things by himself, and he changed his tone and talked about other people.
"I heard from uncle that you have been a little tired lately."
Silver's uncle, now the president of this small country, a man driven down by money and a perfect admirer of Tony Stark.
Feel sorry.
Pepper didn't want to describe the other party this way, but some of the president's demands were too exaggerated.
"All right."
"Silver we are good sisters, but about... uh, Mr. President!"
"Sorry, he always wants me to call him uncle, but... you know, I can't open my mouth."
Pepper was a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether to tell Silver because the president recently invited her.
To be precise, he invited Tony Stark to stand up for him, and the reason for this is because...
"He said he found a prince, about the orthodox heir of a dynasty, and about neighboring countries."
"Latovinia!"
All right.
This matter was so outrageous that there was absolutely no one to talk to, but Pepper still told Silver.
The reaction on the other side of the phone was exactly what she thought, and Silver Sable screamed in disbelief.
"ha?!"
"Is uncle crazy? He wants to start a war?!"
…
war? !
I don’t know, Pepper doesn’t want to get involved in disputes about the country for the time being.
And relatively.
When it comes to Tony Stark, she thinks there should be a war between them.
"Tony, where are you?!"
"The newly renovated swimming pool, Miss Pepper."
Jarvis's voice was the same as before, and Pepper walked out menacingly.
"Hey girls..."
After the renovation, the large-scale outdoor swimming pool and the two-story structure of the glass house combine the ancient castle with fashion.
On the pink floating air mattress, Tony, wearing only shorts, was enjoying a pool party that he had not experienced in a long time.
"Tony Stark, I'm so happy to see you. Are you always so serious?!"
Green is the key word, and the sexy blonde beauty twisted her green swimsuit and swam next to Tony.
"I have the latest progress in my research. I should be happy, but I can't laugh lately."
"Perhaps seriousness is a sign of a man's maturity."
Tony held a triangular cup in his hand and a straw in his mouth, taking a sip of the lemon and blueberry cocktail.
"I heard you have a hot spring here, which is incredible. Can you tell me about it before I finish this cocktail?!"
Of course Tony didn't recognize the woman in front of him.
But with his current status in this country, he is able to come to the pool party, and it is obvious that he has a good background in Silkaria.
Maybe it's the national idol of this country, or the daughter of a certain grand duke, who knows?
Tony wasn't interested at all anyway.
"Tony!!"
Pepper, as always, was wearing a well-fitting women's suit, with a serious tone and a serious expression.
"Should I be happy?!"
"You've regained a bit of your former self, that's why you've been stuck in the lab for so long."
"It's hard to show up, but just talking to a girl in the swimming pool?!"
Pepper stood by the pool, holding her shoulders and frowning at Tony in the pool.
"Standing by the pool in high heels, oh my god, there's nothing more fun than that."
"How about I try to restore my previous state? Do you want to come down and play together?!"
Tony drank the cocktail in one gulp and dragged his sunglasses to his forehead.
He smiled at Pepper.
"I don't have much time. Thanks to you, I have more things to deal with now than before."
Pepper rolled her eyes.
In fact, to be honest, compared to Tony who stayed in the laboratory and didn't let anyone know what he was doing.
The dude at the pool party is actually the one Pepper is more familiar with.
"I make it a point to say that the current group belongs to you, and doing things for yourself always requires more effort."
Tony interrupted Pepper. No matter what the situation, he didn't want to listen to troublesome preaching.
"correct."
"If you didn't bring a swimsuit, I can borrow it for you. The beauties here are all friends. I can name them casually."
"for example……"
Tony pointed at the blonde next to him, uh, well, he didn't know her at all.
"That's the problem, Tony."
Pepper sighed, now in this country, Tony Stark's reputation is more prosperous than he was before in New York.
After all, there is not only one Stark Industries in New York, but also many other major capital groups.
And here it is.
Everyone in Silkaria, from the president to the common people, knows that Tony Stark has brought them a new life.
"We need to talk, Tony!"
"No!!"
"I've been having a dream recently where my head fell out of the air, so can you not ruin my beautiful day with these words?!"
Tony spread his hands with a very troubled expression on his face, but Pepper was not here to discuss it with him.
"immediately."
"I'll wait for you in the house, Tony."
