Chapter 57 I hope so

"I really don't understand what you are thinking. Do you know how many documents I have to deal with every day? Hundreds and thousands of them. Why do you have to drag me to attend the Monaco Grand Prix?"

"Don't be like this, beautiful boss, didn't you book this trip for me in the first place? And how can there be any reason for the company CEO not to show up at this time?"

Faced with the obvious mental anxiety shown by Pepper, Tony did not comfort him. Instead, he seemed not to care too much and continued to enjoy the brandy in the glass.

"I really regret helping you make this damn itinerary."

"Come on, honey, just think of it as a trip to Europe."

"..."

Leni, who was sitting on the other side of Stark's private jet, saw all of this.

In fact, she knew the purpose of Tony's trip to Europe very clearly. She was familiar with the plot and understood Tony's physical condition, and she had long expected such a day.

Leni was even there when she made the itinerary plan, and Tony asked her afterwards how much time she had.

Leni gave the answer sincerely:

"If you give up using the steel suit, my alchemy potion will be enough for you to live the rest of your life smoothly.

Noticing Leni's movements, and driven by curiosity, Tony focused his attention on the opponent's hands again.

Natasha tidied up her somewhat loose hair.

After taking a few deep breaths, Leni started the car again, "So that braised egghead still doesn't trust me?"

Tony put the tea cup down, and leaned back again without any intention of letting Leni add any more.

"You recruited her because of her abilities, right? Because she knows Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?"

Tony took a sip of tea and then drank it all. For a Westerner like him who is not very used to drinking hot water, tea is definitely a novel attempt.

Leni glanced at Natasha who was sitting in the passenger seat. She was wearing a smart business attire for a woman and was much more feminine than herself.

"It means that she is very capable, but she also knows how to hide herself. She is a woman whose heart it is difficult for you to get into."

"What did you say?"

"Tsk, that means he has already expected that I would ask you this question."

Under Tony's puzzled gaze, Leni slowly poured out the freshly brewed tea and refilled it with hot water.

"I know clearly that I don't want to see that old guy so soon."

"Think about it, I'm afraid that guy won't be able to walk once he sees you."

But after Natasha's reminder, and considering Tony's current situation, maybe this is the truth.

Taking out a few pieces of [Remy's Aid] crystals from the void, Leni spoke softly:

"Next, you must reduce the frequency of wearing steel armor, and use an alchemy crystal as soon as possible after wearing it, otherwise one day..."

Leni thought about it and felt that it was natural. Anyone who had seen the ability of the Skrulls to imitate and transform would be suspicious of those around them.

"Well, by the way, let's take a look at her abilities. It looks pretty good so far."

After trying out something new and not to your liking, then do what you should do.

"Didn't you already guess it all?"

"I hope so."

Coupled with Lu Dantou's status as the head of the secret service, it makes sense that he would do this.

There was still a long time left in the flight. Taking advantage of Pepper's break to get up to rest, Leni sat down opposite Tony.

"What did you say? Is this Chinese?"

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Two days ago——

"Happy is fine as a driver, but if you want to protect Pepper personally, Natalie is more suitable than him."

Leni added a glass to her own and savored it slowly.

"I have no idea……"

Tony put down his wine glass. Facing the woman in front of him, it was rare for him to put down all his burdens and not hide himself, even though the time the two of them got together was still short.

Warm the pot and wash the cup, take out the collected Wuyishan Jinjunmei, soak it in a pot, and let it rest for a while.

After that, the two never talked about the matter again, but Leni knew in her heart that everything this guy was doing now was to deal with his own funeral, and he himself was more responsible for the tragic death of palladium poisoning than anyone else.

clear.

"Oh? You think so? This piqued my interest."

Seeing that the other party was not very interested, Leni simply took out a tea set from the void and boiled a pot of hot water in the kitchen behind.

"Things are not irreversible yet. I will help you find a suitable thoracic surgeon through SHIELD channels. I am also looking for an improvement plan for the [Da Vinci Robot]. The problem is not unsolvable..."

"Nick Fury never trusts anyone, even Hill and Coulson. He never completely trusts a person."

"Maybe, but didn't you say that Stark might not survive long if he uses the Iron Suit again? That guy probably wants me to follow Pepper Potts in the future to protect her."

It's not like they haven't tried. Tony locked himself in the basement for a week and tried all the elements in the periodic table, but still couldn't find a substitute for palladium.

Natasha smiled slightly and pretended that she did not hear Leni's rude name for a certain Mr. Director.

Before Leni could finish speaking, Tony took one of the crystals and slapped it on his chest.

The rich and warm aroma of tea gradually rose, making Tony twitch his nostrils.

"Well, it's quite sudden, but it's also expected."

But if you continue to be your Iron Man, I'm afraid you won't get to spend Christmas with Pepper this year."

Hearing this, Leni was shocked and pressed her foot on the brake, which frightened the car behind her and made a series of horn sounds.

The sudden rush caught Natasha off guard, and she quickly calmed down the excited emotions of those around her.

"But I like drinking wine, not coffee."

"When are you going to tell her?"

Putting the remaining crystals and the blood analyzer into his arms, Tony sat back on the chair and looked out the hanging window.

"This is what Nick Fury means. If you miss, go find him, don't drag me along."

"The reason is simply because you are part of the assessment."

"She is not a good person."

"Na...Natalie, that's her name, right? Did you ask her to go to Monaco in advance?"

To this, Tony's answer was a long silence and a pretending to be calm smile.

Although he didn't understand why the other party threw away the first pot of tea, since Leni didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask.

"Easy! Stay safe!"

Palladium poisoning: 54%

Leni couldn't talk anymore. It had only been a few days since the last time she used alchemy potion to relieve the symptoms, and the palladium poisoning in Tony's body had once again exceeded half. If this continues, it will only get worse.

"Brilliant and unfathomable." Leni said eight words in Chinese, which made Tony a little confused.

"Let nature take its course. There's nothing wrong with being a personal assistant. It's easier than being a spy, and it will also make it easier for me to get to know Tony Stark."

"Did she really recruit you as her personal assistant?"

"Then you answered like this because he meant it?"

Tony said nothing, but took out the lighter-sized blood analyzer from his arms and pressed his right thumb on it.

Tony, who had never eaten pork but had seen pigs running before, put the tea cup in front of his nose and took a sniff, inhaling all the tea aroma into his lungs, and then raised his eyebrows.

Leni still has some understanding of Tony's character, and this guy has only recently restrained himself when it comes to desire.

"That's true, but why didn't that guy Lu Dan let me do Tony's evaluation report? Based on his past behavior, shouldn't he have arranged for me to do it?"

Pour the brewed tea into the cup, and the soft aroma of tea instantly fills the entire space. Leni pushes the tea cup to the other person and extends her hand to invite him to taste it.

"Tea can relieve hangovers and refresh your mind, but drinking too much can easily make you unable to sleep, just like coffee."

Natasha slowly reached out and held the passenger roof armrest. She was a little worried about her own safety.

"I can see that, so let her stay with me for now. What do you think of her?"

Leni was a little surprised when she said this. She really hadn't expected this aspect. Having read the original novel, she always thought that Tony wanted Natasha to be her personal assistant so that she could have a kiss.

Natasha was noncommittal.

"Damn Braised Dantou, sooner or later I will make him beg me, beg me to help him, sooner or later!"

Leni cursed fiercely and recorded Nick Fury again in the system's memo.

"I hope so..."
