Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

At the same time, at the entrance of Stark Tower, Pepper Potts, who had just taken over as CEO of Stark Industries less than four days ago, was blocked by a group of reporters.

The flashbulbs flashed crazily, and every reporter rushed to ask questions, like a swarm of flies buzzing non-stop.

However, it is still the kind of fly that must not be swatted, because it is a group of poisonous flies.

Most people who experience this kind of situation will be so frightened that they can't even speak.

However, Pepper is clearly no ordinary person.

Although Pepper had only worked as a secretary or assistant before, because of Tony's dissolute and unconventional nature, in fact, Pepper was often responsible for dealing with reporters.

Now it seemed to her like nothing more than a small occasion.

The press conference before the opening ceremony of the expo is the headache.

Originally, Pepper was not going to pay attention to these reporters, but he did not expect that their questions were going beyond the bottom line.

Oh, God knows if these reporters have a bottom line.

"Ms. Potts, you are now the new CEO of Stark Industries. What are your thoughts on Kidd's declaration of war?"

"Kidd said at the end of the notice that what he wanted to steal was the Ark. Obviously it couldn't be anything other than the Ark reactor invented by Tony Stark, but why would a thief want such a nuclear reactor?"

"Reminiscent of the Monaco attacker, Ivan Vanko, who died in prison, seems to have also mastered the technology to make the Ark reactor. Do you think there is some unknown connection between them?"

"Talk about the mysterious death of Ivan Vanke. It seems that the whole process is very mysterious, and before his death, Tony once approached him alone. Some people say that Ivan's death was because Stark hated Ivan for stealing the Ark reactor. Technology but…”

After a reporter asked a question, Pepper immediately interrupted loudly.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment!"

In an instant, all the reporters were stunned, and they saw Pepper with a stern look on her face, as if she was a strong woman doing business.

"What exactly is Kaitou Kidd's purpose? We don't know yet. Meaningless speculation will not help. And I would like to advise everyone, don't talk nonsense without basis. Rather than spreading rumors, pursue the truth. It’s a journalist’s destiny, isn’t it?”

Although Pepper had a friendly smile on his face, the reporters felt a deep chill behind the smile.

This woman who had just been entrusted with an important task by Tony was indeed no ordinary person!

"If you have any questions, please wait until the reception!"

Pepper asked security to disperse the reporters and walked into Stark Tower.

"Hey, Pepper, you should really check out Natalie. She's really great. Although you may not like to hear it, I have to say that she does some things better than you did!"

Pepper boarded the elevator to the top floor. This entire floor was composed of the office of the CEO of Stark Industries and Tony's private laboratory, as well as a lounge and a large entertainment area.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Tony lying on the sofa with a carefree look, praising Pepper's assistant who was concentrating on making coffee.

When Tony was the CEO, Pepper was his assistant. Now that the CEO has been replaced by Pepper, she naturally needs an assistant of her own.

Natalie is her newly recruited assistant, a sexy beauty with red wavy hair and a perfect resume.

Originally, Pepper was reluctant to recruit such a perfect person who seemed fake, but Tony made the final decision and hired Natalie directly.

Because at that time, Pepper had not yet taken office, and Tony later let Pepper inherit his position.

"Tony, do you know that Kaitou Kidd has already announced to the world that he is going to steal your most proud invention at the expo you carefully prepared?"

Pepper frowned, and an unknown fire ignited in her belly.

"And you? Now you're lying in my office like you don't care, and you're still pointing fingers at my personal assistant?"

"I know, Pepper, I know, isn't that the Kaitou boy who is wearing an old-fashioned white suit and performing tricks in front of those useless policemen!"

Tony said nonchalantly.

"Do you really believe that a thief could steal Tony Stark...steal Iron Man's stuff? No, no, no, that's impossible, no one can steal anything from me unless I give it to him "

"Tony, sooner or later you will suffer because of your narcissism and arrogance, because it makes you unable to see yourself and others clearly... The Commissioner of the New York Police Department, George Stacey, will be arriving soon. Come here and we'll discuss how to protect the thing that saved your heart."

Pepper glanced at Tony and walked to her desk to sit down.

"Please enjoy."

At this time, Natalie also made coffee, and then she brought the coffee to the desk.

"Wow, I thought that cup of coffee was just for me."

Seeing this scene, Tony said a little stiffly.

Natalie just glanced at him and said nothing.

"Pepper, I refuse to accept the assistance of the New York Police Department. Few of the police are really capable. What's more, they have been played by Kidd a long time ago. I will not let them enter my expo." One step, absolutely not.”

After being slapped with a cold butt, Tony had no choice but to turn to Pepper again.

Unexpectedly, even his beloved Little Pepper stopped paying attention to him.

At this moment, Tony felt the world was different.

Frustrated, Tony returned to his laboratory, where he would not be disturbed by anyone.

"Jarvis, lock the door and don't let anyone in without my permission, including Pepper."

Tony walked to a corner and poured himself a large jar of dark green liquid.

"Yes sir."

Tony pinched his nose, closed his eyes, and drank a large jar of unknown liquid in one gulp.

"Wow, this stuff tastes really bad. Is there any medicine that tastes better?"

"No, sir, this is the most effective one, but it can only delay your symptoms."

Tony raised his hand and put on a bracelet to detect life status. It originally showed that the blood toxin level was 23%. After drinking the medicine, it slowly dropped to 19%.

"The efficacy of the drug is declining, sir. Sooner or later you will develop resistance to it. Stop using palladium and your health will greatly improve."

Jarvis suggested.

"No, Jarvis, as long as I don't die and Iron Man can't die, I will be Iron Man."

Tony rejects Jarvis's offer.

"Besides, there is still a Phantom Thief waiting for me to deal with. I can't just stop."

Meanwhile, Gotham, Wayne Manor.

Bruce Wayne immediately received the news that Kidd had sent another notice...
