Marvel Little Genius

"Don't make trouble. What's wrong with children at adults' gatherings? By the way, there's no mention of Obadiah—"

Colson responded calmly: "We have prepared relevant documents. He was on vacation at the time, but unfortunately the small plane he was traveling on had an accident on the road. You know, this kind of small plane is particularly prone to accidents.

Just follow the official statement, Mr. Stark, and you'll be fine in no time. You have 90 seconds to prepare. "After speaking, Colson turned and walked out.

"Wait, Agent Coulson!" Pepper hurriedly called Coulson from behind, "I want to thank you for your help."

"This is our job, we will contact you." Colson responded with a smile.

"From the perspective of national strategy..."

"Just call SHIELD. Our director accepted kid Mark Stark's proposal."

"Hey, don't call me kid, I'm fourteen years old!" Mark yelled in protest.

"Okay Mark, please go and sit in the seats outside first. We're getting ready to go on stage." Tony patted Mark's butt and kicked him out.

Mark understood instantly and knew that Tony was creating a space to be alone with Pepper. Honestly, Colson left the room later, and he didn't want to be a light bulb.

"If I were Iron Man, my girlfriend would know my true identity, and she would be miserable. She would be worried about my death all day long, but at the same time she would be proud of me. She would be very conflicted, but this would make her More obsessed with me. So... Pepper, do you ever think about that night?"

"What night?"

"You know."

"Are you referring to the fact that we danced and then went upstairs, and then you went downstairs to get me a drink, and then you left me alone there with Mark and left directly? Are you talking about that night? ?”

Tony wanted to test the progress of his relationship with Pepper, but he didn't expect that the atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward. Tony could only force out an embarrassed smile and remained silent.

"I knew it. Anything else, Mr. Stark?"

"No, it's okay, Miss Potts. Let's go out, I think I heard Rod calling my name." Tony turned around and quickly escaped from this embarrassing place with a stiff smile, leaving only to watch him fall into ruin. The fleeing Pepper finally couldn't hold back her pretended anger and showed a charming smile.

Chapter 38

"Now let's invite Mr. Tony Stark to come on stage and make a statement, but he won't answer any questions, thank you!" After speaking, Colonel Rhodes walked to the side of the stage and made way for Tony to take the podium.

Tony stood on the podium, looked at the audience and reporters below, and then at Pepper, Mark and Rod on both sides of the stage, and then said: "It's been a while since I last saw you all. Just read it as written. Some people speculate that I was involved in the incidents that happened on the highway and on the roof..."

Just when Tony began to read from the manuscript in his hand, the reporters in the audience were unwilling to let him go: "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, do you really expect us to believe that it's a man in a battle suit?" 's bodyguard happened to show up, even though your bodyguard..."

"I know the situation is confusing, and Happy's body is a bit bloated. But I believe that if he is willing to shed dozens of pounds of body like Jon Favreau, he can wear the steel suit.

It's one thing to question the official narrative, but it's another thing entirely to make wild accusations or hints that I'm a superhero. "

Tony's statement that he had no silver in this place made the reporters at the scene smile excitedly. They knew that big news was coming!

"Mr. Stark, I didn't say you were a superhero."

"Really? That's good." Tony began to ramble awkwardly, "Because it's unreasonable and whimsical, and I'm obviously not made to be a hero.

I have a bunch of character flaws, I’ve made so many mistakes, and they’re so public—”

"Read it according to the script!" Hearing Tony start to express freely, Rhodes next to him gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Okay, okay, the fact is -" mid-sentence, Tony suddenly paused and showed a mysterious smile, "I am Iron Man!"

Tony frankly admitted his identity as a superhero, causing the reporters in the audience to flash their flashlights wildly. They didn't care at all how much film they consumed or how much memory they used. Their fingers seemed to be cramped, and they pressed the camera shutter frantically. The front page cover of tomorrow's newspaper.

"That's so cool, Dad! You are now the first superhero to reveal his identity since World War II!" Mark rushed to the stage and said directly after Tony finished his speech.

"Okay, don't add fuel to the fire." Pepper took Mark aside, "Didn't you see that Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Colson's faces turned dark? Now all the preparations they had made before It’s all in vain, and you’ll have to work overtime to wipe your dad’s butt.”

"Hey! I've witnessed the birth of Iron Man, so I'm a little excited. Don't worry, I'll save him some face outside, and I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I get home. I can't cause trouble to others like this in the future!"

"Pfft!" Seeing the serious expression on Mark's face, Pepper couldn't help laughing, "You are already very good at not causing trouble to others, and you want to teach your father a lesson. By the way, come on You asked me to help you buy Stark Industries stock last time, and now the position is full, do you want to continue to follow up?"

"No need! No need!" Mark quickly shook his head, "Now that Dad has announced his identity as Iron Man, Stark Industries' stock will definitely skyrocket, and I don't have that much money to throw at it. And Sister Pepper, the shares you helped me get from the stock market and some small shareholders are enough in total.

With these shares, I can help my father obtain more than 50% of the voting rights, so I won't be afraid that he will sideline the board of directors in the future. Moreover, my company will start to develop its business recently, and all my funds will be invested in it. What about Sister Pepper, do you want to get rid of Tony and come to work in my company?

I promise that I will not always make unreasonable demands like him, nor will I have a bad temper with you. My salary will be doubled according to your current standards, and I will give you a privately customized limited edition of all the company's products on the market in the future. Edition for you! "

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mark. But I still can't work in your company. Tony is already such a big man, and you don't have a child to reassure me. I don't know how many days I can survive without me.

But don't worry, I personally selected your company employees and managers for you. They are all top choices in terms of work ability and character, even better than me. "

"Hmph, I'm not worried about their working ability. At worst, I will work alone. There is no productivity that cannot be replaced by the power of technology. I just think it's too unfair for you, sister, to stay and work next to Tony. Hmm!" Suddenly, A brilliant idea came to Mark's mind, "Sister Pepper, come here, I have something to say!"

"What?" Pepper listened intently.

"What do you think we do to mess with Tony once? Pretend that you want to resign and come to work for me, so that he can experience life without you, so that he can understand your importance."

"That's not good. If he really approves it..." Pepper said worriedly.

"It's impossible. Even I can see that you two like each other. If you don't give him a little pain, a playboy like him won't take the initiative to express his love. And even if he really approves your resignation, then It’s okay to just work in my company.” Mark said, patting his chest.

"Then you're in vain and got a big advantage." Pepper pretended to be angry when Mark revealed his little idea.

"Then if you don't refuse, I'll treat you as agreeing to my plan!" Mark added Tony's cheeky truth and then asked. Pepper himself did not reject Mark's proposal and nodded in acquiescence.

On the podium, Tony was greeted by the media who were flocking to interview and take pictures. He still didn't know what kind of big hole his cheating son had dug for him.

Chapter 39

"Why do you think this is happening, Mark? Why did Pepper suddenly propose to resign? I feel that our progress has been pretty good recently -"

On the way home, Tony, who didn't know he was being tricked by Mark and Pepper, kept texting to Mark in the passenger seat while driving, with a confused expression on his face.

Mark suppressed his smile and said seriously: "You have to concentrate on driving, Dad. Sister Pepper resigned for two reasons. One was that the work was not going well and the boss was too annoying, so she fired her boss out of anger and sought liberation."

"Impossible!" Tony quickly interrupted, "How can someone hate me, a boss with such a handsome, wealthy and easy-going personality? And I..."

Tony obviously wanted to find a few more reasons to refute Mark's point of view, but after turning his mind for a few times, he couldn't think of any evidence that could prove that he was a good boss, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly fell into silence.

Mark didn't push Tony to the bottom at once. He didn't want this prank to end early, so he comforted Tony and said: "Okay, okay, just treat yourself as a good boss. Sister Pepper didn't resign because of this, then she should be The second reason is that I found a company with better salary and benefits, so I decided to change jobs.”

"But when I tried to persuade her to stay today, I said I could give her a salary increase, but she still didn't agree to stay." Tony said with some frustration.

"Then I think it's probably the third reason for the exception." At this time, Mark, who had been leading Tony into the trap, finally released the trap he had carefully prepared.

"Is there any exception!? Tell me what the reason is?" Upon hearing this, Tony stopped the car and stopped on the side of the road, staring straight at Mark, asking for the answer.

"Isn't that why you want to have an office romance? You keep teasing people, but you don't make a commitment, and you don't disclose it to the outside world. You make people look like you are secretly having an affair with someone else. Isn't this desecrating a person's innocence?

And if she likes you and you like her, then forget it. The problem now is that you haven't made your position clear. Girls have lost patience and don't want to be embarrassed when they work in the future, so they have no choice but to resign. "

"Is that so?" Tony murmured, his eyes blank.

"That's it, it can't be wrong!" Mark's plan succeeded and he hurriedly handed over a positive answer.

"Then what should I do next? I don't want Pepper to leave me! The authorities are obsessed with watching. You have to help me, Mark!" Tony completely fell into the trap set by Mark, and he didn't realize that Mark was behind the scenes. Blackhand asks for advice.

Of course, Mark would not refuse Tony's request. Since Tony came to his door to be his puppet, how could Mark let go of this opportunity.

"First of all, you have to give Sister Pepper time to calm down and think. Just tell her to give her a few days off, have a good rest, and think clearly about whether to resign. In case she figures it out on her own, Then the next thing will be easier to handle.”

In fact, this first step is to leave time for Pepper and Mark to discuss plans and discuss how to deal with Tony next.

"Next, you can't take it lightly just because you gave Sister Pepper a holiday and temporarily stabilized the situation. At this time, you have to show your concern for her and let her feel the love in your heart. This That’s the best way to make her change her mind.”

In this second step, Mark had no intention of playing tricks on Tony. After all, the purpose of his action this time was to make Tony anxious and let him know that if he didn't seize the opportunity, a good match like Sister Pepper would run away. .

Therefore, it is necessary to create opportunities for the two of them to get along and let them understand each other's thoughts. This requires Tony to take the initiative.

"Then there's the last step -" Mark stopped at the critical point and didn't speak, trying to sell it off.

"What is it?" Tony also cooperated and put on a posture of asking for advice. His big watery eyes kept blinking, just like a primary school student in class.

Seeing Tony's appearance, Mark, whose vanity was satisfied, continued: "The last step is of course to express your feelings! As long as Sister Pepper agrees to be your girlfriend, even if she really changes jobs, she can't run away like a monk. Can’t you run away from the temple?”

"That's right!" Tony slapped his thigh suddenly, showing a look of realization, but soon his expression seemed to change and became frustrated again, "If I had the confidence and courage to confess, what would have happened today?" !”

"Hey! You're such a coward, you're really hopeless." Mark really didn't expect that Tony Stark, a nationally famous playboy who had slept with countless beauties, would be so cowardly when it came to true love.

"It seems we can only let nature take its course. I hope things will develop like the plot of the movie." Mark thought silently in his heart.

…

Mark was silent all the way because he disliked Tony's coward behavior, and Tony was too embarrassed to talk to Mark. The two of them returned home in silence.

"Jarvis, good evening."

Mark, true to form, greeted Jarvis when he got home.

"Welcome home, gentlemen."

"[I am Iron Man!] Do you think you are the only superhero in the world, Mr. Stark? You have become part of a larger universe, you just don't know it yet."

In the dark corner of the living room, a bald black man with an eyepatch on his left eye suddenly appeared in front of the Starks. The racial talent during the hesitation period was so powerful that it blended into the dark environment of the living room, so much so that neither Tony nor Mark noticed his existence after returning home.

"Who are you?" Seeing that this strange man was able to break through the security system he had set and break into his home, Tony immediately protected Mark behind him and asked vigilantly.

"I am--"

Bang!

Before the strange man who suddenly broke in could finish his words, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, leaving Tony, who was already tense, froze in place.

It was Mark's movement from behind him that brought him back to his senses. But seeing Mark proactively running over and preparing to kidnap someone, Tony knew that the deceased boy's handiwork was not wrong.

Mark helped the strange man to a chair by himself, and then took off the suspenders on his overalls. I saw him tying it up to the man, and then pressed the button on the strap, and the entire strap automatically tightened, trapping the man firmly.

"What's going on, please explain?" Tony stared at Mark, who was showing mercy but not severity.

Mark raised his hand and shook the watch on his hand, "Hey, this is the accessory I invented to match the magical suit - the anesthesia watch."

As he spoke, Mark pressed the B button of the watch, clicked, and the watch mirror bounced up, "This is for aiming. I built an anesthesia needle and an ejection device into the dial, and the bullets can be fired within ten meters." , this big black guy was hit by my anesthesia needle and fell into a coma.

The trouser pocket is made of stretchable straps made of graphene material, which can stretch between 0.1 meters and 100 meters, which is very convenient. "

"Why do you feel like you have done more security work than me?" Seeing that his son was covered in high-tech equipment, Tony silently expressed sympathy for this black man who broke into private houses and wanted to do evil things. You really have the wrong person.
