half a month later.

Monaco.

Sunday.

The main day of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

Tony and Pepper, riding in a Rolls-Royce driven by Happy, arrived at the entrance of the VIP hotel, escorted by two police motorcycles.

Tony, dressed in a gray suit and wearing sunglasses, was greeted with cheers as he stepped out of the car, with the surrounding crowd waving to him.

Tony calmly looked at the excited audience, raised his right hand and made a simple gesture in response.

Then, he took Pepper and Happy into the hotel.

"This is Europe. Whatever happens in the next 20 minutes, just let it happen naturally. Don't be too surprised."

Tony turned to Pepper and said, subtly reminding her.

"Let nature take its course?"

Pepper looked at Tony, puzzled.

Although she didn't know why Tony was suddenly telling her all this, as Tony's former personal secretary, she knew that Tony was definitely up to something again.

That's right!

She is no longer Tony's personal secretary, but the new president of Stark Industries.

Shortly after the Senate hearings concluded, Tony, just like in the movies, suddenly appointed Pepper as president of Stark Industries without any warning, to manage the company's day-to-day operations in his place.

His decision not only surprised outsiders, but even Pepper didn't expect him to do it.

At first, Pepper thought Tony had drunk too much again.

However, when Tony said that he had considered it for a long time, and even examined some candidates, and seriously thought about who was the most suitable candidate, he later found that only Pepper was the most suitable.

There was no doubt that Pepper was persuaded by Tony.

Although the leap from personal secretary to president was quite a big one, Pepper couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Or rather, no normal person would refuse.

As a result, she became the new president of Stark Industries, which caused Stark Industries' stock price to fluctuate for several days.

This is normal.

If even major personnel appointments can't cause Stark Industries' stock price to fluctuate, it only shows that the capital market doesn't care about Stark Industries at all.

Just as Pepper was about to ask Tony what he was planning to do next, Tony looked at the young man sitting next to the bar with a surprised expression.

The young man who surprised him was none other than Roy, who was dressed in a sharp suit just like him.

Without any hesitation, he immediately went to the bar and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I come?" Roy asked Tony with a smile.

"No, I mean, when did you become interested in F1?" Tony continued to ask.

"I've always been interested in F1, it's just that you've never asked me about it."

"Besides, the company's racing team has been performing quite well lately, so it's perfectly normal for me to come and see for myself."

Roy picked up the champagne in front of him, took a sip, and said with a smile.

That's what he said, but he didn't travel all the way from New York to Monaco just to watch the game.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ivan Vanko, nicknamed "Whiplash," will make his grand entrance in the upcoming matches, wearing his own improvised armor, and show the world that the miniature Arc Reactor is no longer Tony's exclusive product.

He wasn't too worried about Tony's safety.

But he didn't want to miss the chance to witness this scene firsthand.

Upon hearing his answer, an idea immediately flashed through Tony's mind, and he said with a smile, "You've probably never driven an F1 car before, have you?"

Roy immediately saw through Tony's plan and replied, "I haven't played before, but beating you is no problem."

Pepper didn't know why Tony would suddenly remind her to let things take their course and not be too surprised by what was about to happen, but he knew perfectly well why.

Tony is ready to race himself!

"You've never even driven an F1 car, where do you get the confidence to beat me?"

"Racing is not fighting; in that respect, I'm definitely better than you."

Tony looked at Roy with a confident expression, not at all believing that he would lose to Roy.

"I don't deny that you are indeed a genius in mechanics, but I am a genius too."

"Even if I've never driven before, with my skills, beating you is a very simple thing."

Roy said slowly and deliberately.

He wasn't a professional race car driver, but neither was Tony.

Tony's only advantage is that he has experience driving F1 cars.

His advantages lie in his stronger dynamic vision, faster reaction speed, more precise control ability, and his bloodline limit: Magnet Release.

F1 is not a race where the winner is determined in a single lap.

Once he gets a little used to driving an F1 car, beating Tony will be a piece of cake.

If he wanted, he could even make his F1 car fly truly close to the ground.

For him, who had already mastered Magnet Release, this was not a difficult task.

Tony's competitive spirit was completely ignited, and he turned to look at Pepper.

Seeing Pepper exchanging pleasantries with the others, he immediately said, "Anyone can talk big. The team happens to have two race cars, want to have some fun?"

"Since you want to play, I'll play with you."

Roy didn't refuse and readily agreed.

Judging from the current situation, Whiplash is very likely to appear in the movie, broadcast live globally, causing today's match to be completely interrupted.

But he still doesn't intend to refuse.

Having gone this far, refusing would only make Tony think he was scared.

"good!"

Tony nodded in satisfaction.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a woman with a beautiful face, a hot figure, and long, wavy blonde hair walking toward him, wearing a green dress.

Miss Brown!

The moment Tony saw the other person, he immediately recalled their first meeting.

Just when he thought Christine had come to interview him, Christine simply smiled at him and sat down next to Roy.

amount……

Realizing he'd been presumptuous, Tony's face showed a hint of embarrassment as he asked Roy, "You two know each other?"

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

Christine is still an anchorwoman for Fox News.

However, she is no longer an anchorwoman at the Los Angeles branch, but at the New York headquarters.

Normally, it would be difficult for her, who had only recently joined Fox News, to be transferred from the Los Angeles regional bureau to the New York headquarters.

But Roy offered her some small help.

It has to be said that being a director of Stark Industries can be really useful sometimes; a single phone call can resolve a lot of issues.

After being transferred from Los Angeles to the New York headquarters, Christine did not forget to repay Roy's help and expressed her warm and passionate gratitude with practical actions.

After greeting the others, Pepper went to Tony's side.

Tony still remembers Christine, so of course she won't forget her either.

After all, she was the one who took care of the cleanup work for Tony and returned the dry-cleaned clothes to Christine.

"If I don't interview the new president of Stark Industries, my editor-in-chief will kill me. Can I do a short interview with you?"

Christine said to Pepper.

"sure."

Pepper did not refuse and replied immediately.

Although her last meeting with Christine wasn't very pleasant, she wasn't petty enough to refuse Christine an interview.

After all, her identity is different now; every word and action she takes represents Stark Industries.
