Pepper Potts was very heartbroken. She felt that she had no chance of a man in her life. She has no shortage of suitors. She graduated from a prestigious school, has a good family environment, is beautiful, capable, and is also the assistant to the president of Stark Group. How could she not have suitors with such conditions?
But the problem is that she naturally likes to pursue high difficulties, and she doesn't like people who like her. But the ones she likes...are all jerks.
Not to mention Tony, one of the most important daily tasks of the famous playboy, Pepper Potts, is to come to Tony Stark's house every morning to help Tony 'clean up' his past girlfriends. Seeing this bastard who lived a corrupt life, was abnormally self-centered, and never considered others, Pepper Potts was surprised that she actually liked this person.
To be honest, Pepper does not deny that she hopes that her partner will have a certain financial foundation, but he is not at the level of worshiping money. Tony's wealth was not the main thing that attracted her. Could it be his talent? Pepper also admitted that this playboy was indeed very talented, but the problem was that Pepper was not the kind of science student and had little interest in Tony's scientific research. As for looks... to be honest, Tony is indeed good-looking among the billionaires in the world, but the problem is that billionaires over 50 years old have an absolute advantage... so Tony's looks are not as good as expected. Fighting, handsome enough, but just like that.
So why does she like Tony?
Pepper couldn't really tell. All I can say is that this is damn fate.
Originally, Pepper was still worried about whether to continue her relationship with Tony, but then she met her first love. I have to say that in Pepper's opinion, the previous encounter with Kai was not a crime movie or a horror movie, but a proper Mary Sue movie!
You see, the first love who separated many years ago due to family and misunderstanding met unexpectedly in the vast sea of people. Looking at each other, countless past events emerged in their hearts, some were happy, some were sad, and finally they became nostalgic for each other. of. Then the heroine is inexplicably involved in a murder case.
Then, in order to protect the woman, the man did not hesitate to risk his own life and saved the girl. In the end, the two of them were crushed under the rubble. In order to comfort the woman, even if the man broke his leg, he still calmly comforted the girl and let the girl Under the dark and depressing ruins, there is no hope of giving up life...
Look, look, isn’t that enough of a Mary Sue? At least in Pepper's opinion, this is just one sentence short of "You jump, I jump" than "Titanic".
Anyway, from Pepper's perspective, that's what happened. It's not that Pepper is stupid, but that this girl really has lingering feelings for Adam. After all, first love occupies a special place in everyone's life. What's more, things are generally not over the top, it's just a filter added. This is normal. Everyone's perspective is different.
All in all, Pepper thought this encounter with Kai was perfect. But afterwards, Kai's attitude was very strange. Pepper asked Kai several times, but he refused for various reasons. He also revealed that he had a girlfriend. Pepper checked and found out that he actually had a girlfriend.
At that moment, Pepper felt the malice of the world and allowed herself to meet her first boyfriend, but he was already someone else's.
So Pepper could only focus on work, hoping to forget this bitter and embarrassing relationship. But I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, I would see Kai and another Bichi having sex!
Scumbag!
At this moment, Pepper felt that life was too difficult. Why do all the men she likes have such virtues?
Then Tony, out of some unknown reason, actually invited Kai and Diana to have dinner together.
Then at the dinner table, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Tony invited Kai to have dinner with him. In fact, he had no other intention. He just wanted to attack his love rival. Although Tony regarded his pursuit of Diana more as a game. What, you said love? Don't be ridiculous, Tony has never thought that he would fall in love with a woman and marry her until now. That didn't fit with his outlook on life.
He just likes high difficulty, and spending money can no longer satisfy him.
And he didn't like Kai from the beginning, this guy was such an eyesore. Just like Pepper likes Tony, Tony also likes Pepper, but unlike Pepper who is hesitant about Tony's personal life, Tony is much more complicated about Pepper.
He thinks Pepper is a good girl, so he doesn't want to hurt her. It's Tony who knows what he's doing. He's a jerk, and he doesn't deny it himself. He even thinks it's one of the reasons why he's so charming. He was afraid of taking responsibility, so even though he did have a crush on Pepper, he suppressed himself and didn't show it.
So with a beautiful woman like Pepper by his side, he never did anything inappropriate towards her. This is very rare. In the past, his female assistant was equal to his bed partner. But since Pepper took office, things have been different.
But in turn, Tony was very disgusted with having a man approach Pepper. This is a kind of possessiveness that is difficult to put into words.
Just in time, Kai appeared next to Pepper.
This is really a meeting of new and old hatreds, so Tony plans to let Kai know the gap between them. He plans to use words to tease Kai, embarrass him, make him lose his temper, and make him give up his peek at Pepper.
It was childish, but that's what Tony did.
What's just frustrating is that from beginning to end, Kai ate quietly and basically turned a deaf ear to Tony's words.
After all, Kai was not interested in Tony's topic at all. Tony kept talking about the economy, luxury goods, various upper classes, and even the political situation at the dinner table. In short, they were all very high-end topics. Tony was not that bad, and he was not that bad. No problem, he was just very childish and wanted to make Kai understand that Pepper was something he couldn't afford to offend.
But the problem is that Kai has no interest in Pepper, especially Tony. Besides, he wasn't very good at those topics either in his previous life or in this life. You know, none of the luxuries in Kai's family were bought by him. They were all bought by Kelly, and he didn't understand.
So he just kept his head down and ate. Don't mention it, this restaurant is really not famous for its scenery. The food is really delicious, but a bit expensive, but Tony is paying for it anyway, so he doesn't care.
This is not the most depressing thing for Tony.
It's okay if Kai isn't interested in Tony's topic, but Tony doesn't know where he offended Diana. Any Tony's point of view will be refuted by Diana. Later, Tony not only failed to stimulate Kai, but was choked by Diana and felt extremely uncomfortable.
By the end of the dinner, Tony had forgotten that he was going to pick up Diana. Instead, the two of them were arguing over their differences in ideas.
Generally speaking, Tony would not be so dishonest in arguing with a woman, but the problem is that Diana is fundamentally different from ordinary women. Her ideas are very different from those of the secular world, and are even completely opposite in some aspects, so she He disliked Tony very much, so his words were inevitably mixed with some personal emotions, and he despised Tony openly and secretly. Even the Clay Man was quite angry, not to mention the proud Tony.
So after going back and forth, Tony also forgot the original purpose, and instead started to compete with Diana.
Pepper looked at the two people and smiled helplessly.
"He likes you very much." Kai swallowed the last bite of steak and suddenly said something unexpected.
Pepper was stunned, and Tony and Diana also stopped, not knowing why Kai said that.
"What?" Pepper asked confused.
"I said, this rich young man likes you very much." Kai wiped his mouth with a napkin, curled his lips and said, "Although his methods are as childish as a sixth grader, he likes you." After that, Kai threw the napkin on the table, picked up the red wine glass, swallowed the last sip of wine in it, and waved his hand to signal the waiter not to pour any more wine.
"I listened for a long time, and I got the general idea. What this handsome young man meant was to warn me not to get close to you. To be honest, what he did was completely beyond my expectation. I originally thought he would take out his checkbook and directly Throw out a bunch of zeros to me and let me choose money or you. It's a pity that he didn't choose such a popular plot. It's a pity..."
I don't know what he is regretting. But his words suddenly petrified Tony, and Pepper's face turned red.
"Besides, you also like him, right? I can see that since we sat down, your attention has been focused on him. If you don't know, you would think that you are an old couple." Pepper This is indeed the case with Tony. Whenever Tony wants to do something, Pepper can detect it and help him do it right away. Even if it is such a small thing as adjusting the wine glass, Pepper can help Tony adjust it right away. An angle that feels comfortable.
With that said, Kayla pulled out the chair, and then helped Diana pull out the chair. In this regard, Kai has always done a good job. He is a gentleman to women, and this kind of thing is the same in the East and the West.
And Tony and Pepper are still stupid.
Until Kai walked up to Tony, holding Diana's arm, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Be brave, sixth grader, otherwise you may not have a girlfriend." After saying that, he took Diana and left.
At this time, Tony was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his fur suddenly exploded.
"Who...who is a sixth grader? You scumbag!!! I'm not that! No!"
In fact, Tony was not jumping on what Kai just said. What really made him unable to calm down was...how should he face Pepper?
As for Pepper, her face was red, but she didn't say anything. She didn't know what she was waiting for.
…
"Puff!" After arriving in Kai's car, Diana finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "What that guy just did was really... really funny."
Kai shook his head. He felt that these two people were too pretentious. Kai has always been insensitive to matters between men and women, but just like this, he could tell that the two of them had a crush on each other. But these two people pretended to hide it very well, thinking that only they knew.
Tony should really thank him. Fortunately, he is not really Adam, otherwise Tony's little thought would really be a waste. Anyway, Kai was a little embarrassed to see Pepper. If he was really Adam, he would be able to face this feeling as a matter of course. But the problem is that he is not Adam, and he has no other thoughts about Pepper. He has never seen Pepper look at her. The look in his eyes made Kai feel uncomfortable, so he simply gave in to this hypocritical couple.
"By the way, you said the Ares statue is missing, how did you come to Chicago?" Kai thought of the previous conversation between him and Diana. They were about to talk about business, but Tony barged in.
"This is what a colleague of mine told me. He once worked at the Art Institute of Chicago for a period of time. He saw a replica of a statue of Ares in Chicago. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the statue was lost. I thought about it. Because the Louvre has never put that statue on display, no outsiders have seen that statue except the insiders of the Louvre."
A statue that had never been seen by outsiders actually appeared on the other side of the ocean in Chicago. No wonder Diana was suspicious of Chicago.
"Then have you found out what it is?" Kai asked. With Diana's ability, she probably looked through the entire Art Institute of Chicago on the day she arrived in Chicago.
"No." Diana said frustratedly.
"Then have you checked the files?" Kai asked, following his own train of thought.
"File?" Diana looked at Kai.
"Yes, if the Art Institute of Chicago really copied that statue, it would have left a file. As long as you can look through the file, there is a high probability that you will find some clues." Kai said.
Diana's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "I'll go right away!"
With that said, Kai asked Kai to take her back to the museum. Kai had no choice but to comply. He could understand Diana's urgency. After all, that was Ares. If this guy really ran out, it would be an absolute disaster.
It's just that Diana left so fast that Kai didn't even have time to ask her if she knew where the file was...
Even more coincidentally, just as Diana was about to rush, Dean called.
bad news.
Vampires are laying siege to his manor...
Farke!
Are these vampires crazy?
Kai didn't even understand, how could these vampire bastards have the courage to besiege his house? If nothing else, Kai is a police officer after all! According to the style of these vampires, they rarely attack targets that attract high attention.
But now, there was no point in thinking about it. Kai immediately turned the car around and headed towards his home.
…
On the other side, Kai's manor had turned into a battlefield at this time. A group of heavily armed men in black are laying siege to Kai's main house. In the room, besides Dean and the others, there was a group of unknown demon hunters.
If Kai's home was besieged, it was because of this group of people.
Bobby was responsible for notifying the witchers in the city before, asking them to act with caution, but it was too late and a group of witchers discovered a vampire lair. During this period, before the massacre occurred in the Witcher Bar, Chicago and surrounding cities had become a hunting ground for Witchers. For many Witchers, they had never seen so many vampires in their lives. As a result, many demon hunters who were accustomed to living alone began to form groups and hunt vampires in groups.
The results were impressive.
In this case, if a vampire nest is found, he will naturally not let it go, so he calls his friends and plans to take action.
After suffering some casualties, the nest was finally destroyed, but it also got into trouble. They were noticed by the mysterious vampire army.
They had no choice but to ask for help, and it happened that their location was relatively close to Kai's home. So brothers Bobby and Dean immediately ran out to back up and cover their retreat into Kai's house. Those vampires had just witnessed what those demon hunters had done to their own people, so naturally they couldn't give up easily.
"You raised by female cousins! Come on! Come on! Son of the beach!"
A demon hunter was covered in scars, but he still leaned against the window and kept shooting outside. It seemed that he had lost his calmness, but thinking about their previous encounters, you can understand why he was so crazy.
In order to encircle and suppress the lair, a total of thirty-six demon hunters were dispatched. During the encirclement and suppression, eight of them sacrificed their lives. It's nothing, demon hunters are used to life and death, not to mention, they died while encircling and suppressing vampires. A worthy death.
But after that, the nightmare began. Those mysterious vampire troops suddenly appeared, like hunting turkeys, killing their companions one after another. When they received support from Dean and the others, they retreated to the house, and only five people were left!
Witchers are indeed lonely, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings. How could the remaining demon hunters remain calm after seeing so many of their companions being killed without the ability to resist.
