My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 594 It seems that the two children are going to be in trouble tonight
As time went by, the originally lively celebration banquet gradually came to an end. The noisy atmosphere became warm and gentle at this moment, and most of the guests and friends had smiles on their faces, as if they were "half-opened flowers and slightly drunk wine".

"Ahh~ I'm so full~"

In a corner of the banquet, Peter, who was already full from the cakes and desserts on the table, burped and scanned the banquet hall aimlessly, trying to find something interesting from the guests coming and going.

However, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the elegant and handsome figure in the hall, a strange thought popped up in his mind.

"Harry, do you think our bet should continue?"

Harry, who was also burping from drinking Coke, didn't understand why Peter said that and asked in confusion.

"why not?"

"Um... let me make it clear first. I don't mean to cheat, but have you noticed that Mr. Stark seems a little absent-minded today?"

Peter raised his chin and motioned for Harry to look for himself.

Harry scratched his head and looked in the direction Peter pointed. He then saw Tony chatting and laughing with the guests as usual.

"You're overthinking it, aren't you? I don't think..."

Before Harry could finish his words, he was interrupted by Peter.

"No, Harry, look at his eyes, they're still smiling, but there's something missing."

There was a hint of insight in Peter's eyes that was inconsistent with his age.

"Look, he seems to be chatting, but his eyes often drift in that direction..."

Peter pointed to the area above the banquet hall that was separated by tempered glass. It was dark there at the moment, and they couldn't see what was inside at all.

Harry couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he saw this. He did notice Tony's somewhat careless little movements.

"Sister Lainie said before that it's an experimental area and it's not open to the banquet guests for the time being."

"What do you think is up there?"

There was a gleam of curiosity in Peter's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the thick tempered glass and peek into the secrets hidden above.

"how could I know?"

Harry answered subconsciously, but then he turned his head and looked at Peter beside him.

"What do you want to do? Sister Lainie specifically warned us not to go near there without their permission."

Harry's eyes were full of scrutiny, which made Peter shrink his neck guiltily, but the curiosity and desire in his eyes did not diminish.

"I know, Harry, but I'm just curious."

Peter muttered quietly, his eyes still involuntarily drifting towards the dim experimental area.

"Mr. Stark is a genius, there must be something amazing hidden in his laboratory.

Besides, Mr. Stark is obviously absent-minded. Doesn't that mean that a very important experiment is going on in that laboratory right now?"

As Peter said this, his words were filled with an eagerness to try, as if there were endless treasures hidden in that dim experimental area, just waiting for the brave to explore.

"Don't give me that. I think you just think Tony will definitely not be able to beat Thor tonight, so you want to find a reason to avoid the bet."

Harry curled his lips and ruthlessly exposed Peter's little thoughts.

Peter blushed slightly when he heard this, but then he argued:
"No way! What I said is true, and didn't I say it? I don't mean to cheat..."

However, Harry didn't believe it at all. Besides, who knew what was being studied there?
What if they are researching some harmful substances? Wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they enter without permission?
"That won't work either. I've already won, so don't even think of doing anything wrong."

Harry said firmly, and at the same time turned his gaze in the direction of Thor again.

"Besides, Peter, you see, there's a stir over there at Thor again."

Peter looked over when he heard the voice and saw Thor holding an intricately carved wine jug and introducing it to the people around him in a serious manner.

"...No, no, no, this is different. This is fine wine that has been aged for more than a thousand years in the barrels of the wreckage of the Grenhell Fleet. Mortals can't stand this."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the surprised gazes of many people around, including Captain America Steve Rogers.

You know, he has been in the ice for so long, so he is only a hundred years old. The wine that has been sealed for more than a thousand years...

What does that smell like?
"More than a thousand years..."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Peter's eyes, and he wanted to give it a try, but then he remembered Sister Lainie's previous warning and had to give up this dangerous idea.

"Okay, I admit that Thor is more attractive than Tony, whether it's his stories or his Asgardian wine..."

Peter sighed in frustration, as if he had accepted the reality.

"But then again, aren't you really interested in what's hidden in there? Something that can make Tony lose his mind might be the latest model of the Iron Man suit!"

Peter's words left Harry in a brief silence.

Indeed, as Tony's friend, he has always been full of curiosity and expectations about Iron Man's equipment. The Mark 42 Prodigal Son is the most obvious example.

However, Lainie's warning and the mystery of the laboratory discouraged him.

"Peter, we can't..."

"Please, let's just take a look! Let's take a look at what's inside. We don't even go through the door. I swear!"

Peter stared at Harry with almost pleading eyes, his curiosity was like a ignited flame that could not be easily extinguished.

Harry looked at Peter's anxious eyes and couldn't help but waver.

He knew very well that he was just as curious as Peter, but he knew how to control himself better.

But at this moment, Peter's plea seemed to give him an opportunity, a chance to indulge his curiosity a little.

"Okay, but we have to be careful. We can only look from a distance and never go in." Harry compromised.

But at the same time, he looked guiltily in the direction of the bar where Sister Lainie was, fearing that their little actions at the moment would be noticed by the other party.

So Harry lowered his voice and warned Peter in a deep voice:

"You know what will happen if Lainie finds out, so..."

"I understand, don't worry!"

Peter grinned, revealing his white teeth, his face filled with excitement.

So, the two naughty little guys started to act. They first left the dining table as if nothing had happened, and then avoided the sight of sister Lainie in front of the bar, along the edge of the living room where many guests gathered, and sneakily climbed up the stairs leading to the upper experimental area.

"Laini..."

Natasha, who had been standing at the bar and acting as a temporary bartender at the banquet, noticed the movements of the two little guys keenly and signaled Lainie with her eyes to look at the stairs.

"Those two little guys are planning to cause trouble again."

Hearing this, Lainie drank the martini in her hand and nodded without turning her head.

"I know, those two brats want to take a look at Tony's laboratory..." As she said that, Lainie stood up from her seat, without paying any attention to the gazes of the people around her, she reached into the void and took out a seemingly ordinary tree branch.

"Sigh~"

Seeing this scene, the girls who were originally planning to watch the show suddenly gasped, wondering if Lainie was going to beat the child in front of everyone?
"Laini, this is not a good idea!"

Simmons on the side hurriedly tried to stop her, and Maya simply reached out and grabbed Lainie's wrist, trying to snatch the branch from her hand.

You have to know that this is the United States. The law does not allow adults to hit children, and it certainly does not allow Lainie to hit a child in public, let alone with a branch!
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I just want to scare them..."

Lainie gave the girls a comforting look, indicating that she was not yet so reckless.

"Besides, these two brats are really too naughty. I clearly warned them before not to go to the experimental area out of curiosity, but these two brats turned a deaf ear to my words!"

Lainie's eyes were full of severity. She could accept the two children's vigorous curiosity, and she could also accept their occasional mischief.

But the premise is that all this must be done under the premise of safety.

However, the laboratory was not a safe place at the moment, and Lainie herself couldn't tell how the situation inside would develop to what extent.

If those two children rashly barged in now and attracted Ultron's attention, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Don't worry, I won't really hit them."

Gently breaking free from Maya's hand, Lainie waved the branch in her hand gently, and incredibly, a solid shadow was left in the air.

The girls couldn't help but widen their eyes when seeing this scene, and then they immediately realized that the seemingly ordinary branch was actually not an ordinary item!

"Gulu~"

Skye looked at the branch and swallowed unconsciously.

Using a branch that anyone could see was not an ordinary one to "scare" two children, probably only Lainie in the world could do that, right?
"I...I'll go over and take a look."

In the end, Skye still felt a little uneasy, so he simply put down his glass and followed Lainie.

"Wait, I'll go too."

Seeing this, Maya hurriedly put down the wine glass in her hand and followed the two men.

"It seems that those two kids are going to be in big trouble tonight."

Simmons looked at the backs of Lainie and the other two as they left, and couldn't help but sigh, causing Natasha and Hill to nod in agreement.

……

"Harry, hurry up, don't let Sister Lainie find out!"

Peter, who was full of curiosity, slipped up the stairs first under the cover of the guests coming and going, and was now standing at the door of the experimental area.

"Peter, you said we would just take a look and then go back. If Sister Lainie finds out, we'll be dead."

Harry, who was a step slower, was still a little worried. He felt that when he came up just now, he seemed to have attracted the attention of Dr. Banner who was passing by.

"Oh, I know, stop talking nonsense, come and see!"

Peter ignored Harry's concerns and pulled him forward, then lay on the tempered glass of the experimental area, trying to see the real appearance inside through the dark glass partition.

Harry, who was standing by, couldn't persuade this guy, so he had to follow his example and lie on the glass partition, trying to open his eyes wide and look inside.

“Oh my god…it’s so cool in there!”

Through the dim glass, Peter saw the various advanced instruments displayed in the laboratory, as well as those devices that seemed complicated but full of technology.

At this moment, his love for science seemed to be ignited, and he seemed to have seen his future dream.

"Look at that. Isn't it the same device we saw when we visited Stark Industries before... and that one over there... Oh my God..."

Peter exclaimed excitedly repeatedly, while not forgetting to pull Harry beside him.

"Harry, look at that on the middle table! That scepter! Could that be..."

However, before he could finish his words, Harry beside him coughed dryly.

"Ahem!"

"There's no doubt about it. That must be the scepter that the evil god Loki held! I saw it on TV!"

Peter's voice trembled with excitement. He was sure that he was not mistaken. The scepter that still emitted a faint blue light under the dim laboratory light must have been the weapon used by the culprit in the Battle of New York!
"Ahem! Peter..."

Harry beside him coughed dryly again, trying to wake up Peter Parker who was still in a state of excitement.

"Harry! I bet it's the scepter..."

Peter turned his head excitedly and was about to show off his good memory to Harry, but it was not until then that he noticed that there was no shadow of his good brother Harry beside him, and there was no one around him at all.

Peter Parker's voice stopped abruptly, and a possibility came to his mind. His body unconsciously began to stiffen, and the excited expression on his face quickly turned into horror.

He did not dare to look back, because at this moment he had already noticed that two familiar figures were reflected on the dim glass partition in front of him.

"Ah... Harry, I think we should get away from here as soon as possible. After all, Sister Lainie warned us before that this place is actually very dangerous. Don't you think so?"

Peter's voice was trembling, but he tried to sound calm.

He tried to hide his uneasiness by changing the subject, but he knew very well in his heart that he was about to be in big trouble.

"Ugh……"

The sigh from his good brother behind him seemed to confirm Peter's thoughts at the moment.

Peter wanted to escape, but the person behind him seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

Before Peter could make any move, a slender branch that seemed to have just been cut from a tree and even had green leaves on it was placed on his shoulder as gently as a feather.

"Well, little Parker, have you seen enough?"

Lainie smiled and leaned over to Peter's ear, whispering in a very gentle and pleasant voice.

"Would you like me to take you inside for a closer look?"

"Gulu~"

Peter swallowed hard, and after trying for a while, he finally managed to force a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"Don't bother, Sister Lainie. There's actually nothing interesting in there, and I'm a little sleepy. Can Sister Skye take us home?"

Peter placed his hope on the other lady behind him, begging her to help him out of his suffering.

However, judging from his stiff tone and the fact that he didn't even dare to turn his head back, he actually knew better than anyone that no one could save him at this moment.

"Don't even think about it, little brat. Your sister Lainie has already seen through your little thoughts."

As expected, Skye completely dispelled Peter's last bit of hope.
