Instead of going home in his own mecha, Tony got into Kai's Chevrolet SUBURBAN. There was no way, his reactor was torn off by Kai, and he couldn't put it back together for a while, so he had to take the car home. Besides, after finally getting rid of palladium poisoning, he didn't want to be poisoned again.
"So... the price for your promise to him is your soul?"
Although his views were shattered, Tony was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly regained his composure and began to analyze whether Kai was deceiving him, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out why Kai was lying to him. Moreover, he could see clearly just now that Lucifer's hands were inserted into his chest and then pulled out intact. So Tony is now inclined to believe Kai.
So if Lucifer is really the devil, it is obvious what price Kai will have to pay.
Kai glanced at Tony: "When did you have the illusion that I would give up my soul for you? I like women."
"What's the price? I can make it up to you."
Kai shook his head: "I can't tell you that. Everyone has their own secrets, right?"
When demons trade with humans, the only items they accept are souls. Of course it is impossible for Kai to give his soul to Lucifer. Kai is not yet a saint to this extent. What he gave Lucifer was the soul energy of Goldfinger. That thing is the soul power that has been refined through the system. This thing is more tonic to the devil than the Shiquan Dabu Pill. Kai took out his soul energy to make a deal, and Lucifer's face was filled with snot and bubbles came out of his nose. He definitely made more money than buying and selling.
Of course, Kai is not at a loss either. Anyway, there are a lot of bad people in this world. When the time comes, let Mr. Hannibal the Ghost Butcher go out and harvest them, and everything will be there. So "paying" for Tony is as simple as treating him to dinner. Kai didn't intend to get anything from Tony through this.
Tony also knew that it was very impolite to explore other people's secrets, but the problem was that his damn curiosity still made him unable to resist. Furthermore, when has this guy ever cared about other people's feelings?
"I guess it must be something very precious?"
Kai thought for a while to prevent this guy from guessing. He didn't know what he would come up with, so he simply said: "Well, it depends on how you look at it. Anyway, it is not precious to most people."
"What the hell is that?"
"soul."
"But didn't you just say..." Tony looked at Kai in shock.
"I didn't say it was mine." Kai said quickly.
"Can you decide other people's souls?" Tony didn't know much about the mechanism of souls, but thinking about it, he knew that it was unlikely to be treated casually.
"Dead men don't protest."
"You mean, you kill people and then use the souls of the people you kill as bargaining chips in exchange for my health?"
"bingo!"
"But aren't you a policeman?" Tony felt that it was bad to do this. After all, other people's lives also mattered.
While operating the steering wheel, Kai looked at Tony and said in confusion: "Where are you thinking? The lives of my men were all thugs who were killed reasonably and legally. Do you think I have time to play a guest role as a murderous maniac?"
"But isn't there any moral issue with this?"
"What's the problem? Where do you think the soul goes after death? I can tell you clearly that there is no God in this world, and there is no hell in the Bible. The human soul will naturally dissipate and return to nature after death. I It's also waste utilization. Otherwise, why do you think demons want to trade with humans? Wouldn't it be more labor-saving to just wait for people to die and accept their souls?"
That said, Tony felt much better.
…
Kai left Tony in Stark Tower and disappeared. He was so busy that he had no time to chat with Tony.
After looking at the Chevrolet Suburban that was riding high, I gave the car a hard middle finger, and then I could only drag a suitcase pitifully into the building.
The top three floors of the Stark Building are Tony's private space. Sometimes Tony lives there, but he prefers the villa on the beach in Malibu.
When he got to the top floor, Pepper was already waiting there.
"Tony! Where have you been? I've called you hundreds of times!" Pepper was indeed a little anxious. She was not a fool. Tony's recent behavior was obviously abnormal. This made her very worried, and at the same time she was also very dissatisfied with Tony. If anything really happened, he should talk to her. Even if she couldn't help him, she would have someone to discuss it with, instead of being in control of everything like now. have no idea. If nothing happened, it would be even more unforgivable!
Tony didn't explain, but stepped forward and hugged Pepper.
Now, no matter how much she wanted to say, Pepper couldn't ask. What's more, Pepper could feel a sense of relief from Tony, which was much better than Tony's previous bastard attitude.
Pepper didn't say anything, just hugged Tony and patted his back gently.
Sometimes, Pepper felt like she was not in love, but raising a son.
Tony is willful, picky, doesn't like to consider others when doing things, and has a bad mouth. In short, he is just a perfect adolescent boy. But Pepper knew that behind these words, Tony was a sensitive, eager for attention, and extremely fragile boy. He longed for love but was afraid of losing, so he liked to disguise himself with cynicism. He is afraid of others walking into his heart, but at the same time he longs to be loved, a very contradictory guy.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Tony gently sniffed Pepper's delicious hair and was just about to say something. Jarvis suddenly spoke.
"Sir, I have to interrupt you, you have a visitor."
"I don't want to receive anyone at the moment. Let him come back tomorrow."
"I think you have to see him, he is already in the house." Jarvis's voice seemed to reveal a hint of helplessness.
"What?" Tony subconsciously wanted to put on his armor, but he had just thrown his Mark IV armor disguised as a suitcase beside the sofa. It was still some distance away. The bigger the house, the more This is not good. After realizing that he could not put on the armor immediately, Tony immediately shouted to Jarvis: "Activate defense mode!"
Zhi——!
There was a sound of mechanical movement, and more than a dozen six-barreled machine cannons stretched out from various corners of the room. At the same time, lasers shot out from nowhere, scanning the entire room! At the same time, under the control of Jarvis, several battle armors that were originally on standby rushed out of the standby area and stood in front of Tony and Pepper.
"Oh! Wait! Wait! I don't mean any harm!"
A black man wearing a black windbreaker appeared in Tony's living room, raising his hands and looking surprised at the weapons all over the room pointing at him. Is this your place to live? Who is so boring and has so many weapons at home?
