After all, it is the president and the chaebols behind him who are taking action together, so naturally those ordinary guerrillas cannot compare with you.
For Pepper, her opinion on the hearing was far from being as relaxed as Stark thought. On the contrary, because of her female intuition, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
The ambiguous attitude of other chaebol companies when cooperating with her explained it all. It was not just one group company that showed an ambiguous attitude when she was negotiating business.
But all...almost all companies have not signed any important cooperation agreements with Stark Group in the recent period. At most, they have signed some small but tepid cooperation agreements.
This might not have been a big problem in the past, but now it worries her.
The mall is like a battlefield!
This made Pepper feel very uneasy, not to mention the hearing.
So she guessed that these incidents were related to Stark.
Maybe she was just worrying too much, but Pepper trusted her instincts.
She also didn't expect that someone would join forces to kill Stark directly!
...
The top floor is Stark's private office.
Not interested in dealing with the group's affairs.
Pepper handed over the group's affairs to his subordinates for the time being, and leaned on his desk with a glass of red wine.
Quietly watching the live broadcast of the hearing on the projection screen.
"Tony, God bless you, please don't let anything happen to you."
Just as Stark entered the hearing room with the battle suit, Pepper breathed a sigh of relief.
suddenly
The elevator door next to him opened, and Happy, the head of the group's security department, rushed in.
"Dangdang!"
I almost missed the step and hit the sofa.
This startled Pepper.
"Oh God, what happened!"
In the entire Stark Group, only Happy, Pepper and Stark have direct access to the top floor.
Anyone else who wants to go upstairs needs Jarvis' permission, no exceptions.
When she recognized it was Happy, Pepper put down the glass of red wine that had spilled most of the liquid accidentally out of shock, and wiped the bright red mark on her white suit with a little dissatisfaction.
It looked like she had been shot in the heart.
"Happy? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Happy running over hurriedly and breathing heavily, Pepper pretended to be calm and asked.
"Hurry...we have to leave here immediately. Some rioters are trying to break into the building!" Happy said seriously, limping.
"What! This is impossible."
Hearing this news, Pepper's body shook in surprise.
In the free America, there has never been a precedent of a protesting rioter directly breaking into a large corporate company.
Even if there were any, they would be quickly driven away.
No matter how bad Stark Industries is, it was once a giant in the arms industry, and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry dared to scratch its beard.
But since Happy rushed over in such a hurry, something must have gone wrong.
Sure enough, Happy rushed to Stark's display case and picked up the portable Mark battle suit, while pulling Pepper over and dragging her towards the helicopter parked on the top floor, explaining at the same time.
"These guys who are protesting are not ordinary people. They all have the qualities of mercenaries."
"Damn it, there's been a firefight down there. Something's not right. We have to rush to Washington to find Tony. He needs help! This is a conspiracy against Tony."
Before being directly controlled by Rhodey, Happy was still able to think independently. At this moment, his loyalty to Stark even allowed Happy to break free from Rhodey's control and become sober.
This left Pepper with no doubts, and he followed Happy and hurried out of the office.
In the sky, a private helicopter that had been summoned began to land.
It is a nearly 15-meter-long Titan business helicopter, priced at 40 million. After Stark's modification, the price increased to 123 million.
It is equipped with military equipment, including defensive jammers and ejection seats, making it safer than the president's helicopter.
But before they could reach the helicopter.
Suddenly, from the top floor, there was a huge sign with Stark's name on it.
There was a teeth-grinding noise like a knife being pulled on steel.
"Watch out! Pepper, stand behind me."
Happy had sharp eyes and saw a huge claw grabbing into the low concrete wall from deep downstairs.
He immediately pulled Pepper, who hadn't reacted yet, behind him and pulled out a pistol from the holster at his waist.
And the helicopter.
First, a pair of sharp claws covered with densely packed dark green scales stretched out and suddenly grabbed the helicopter's tripod, and then a monster actually jumped up directly from downstairs.
“Ouch——!!!”
This monster looks like an oversized lizard, covered with sharp and hard-looking scales. Its huge body even blocks out the sunlight, and its size is no less than Stark's business helicopter.
At this time, one foot was on the helicopter, and he slowly turned his slender neck to look over here.
A pair of orange-yellow animal eyes emitting the faint light of a cold-blooded animal are extremely scary.
Sticking out the long and narrow tongue that was split into two halves.
Seeing this horrifying scene, Pepper couldn't help but scream in fear.
"Ahhhhh!!"
"Don't call Miss Pepper, come back here quickly and let me handle it."
Happy, on the other hand, showed the courage of a security chief.
While throwing the portable iron battle suit in his hand to Pepper, he raised his pistol and shot at the narrow triangular eyes of the lizard monster in front of him.
"Bang bang bang!!"
It took only a few seconds for all the bullets to be used up.
The only thing that seems to be a weak spot on this monster is its eyes, although it is hard to aim at...
It turns out that Happy was right.
The lizard monster's body was covered with scales that were impervious to swords and guns. Pistol bullets could only splash some sparks when hitting it, and then bounced away, unable to even bend its scales.
"Damn..."
Happy's heartbeat quickened, he was quickly waking up from the Imperius Curse, it felt like he was waking up from a big dream.
"Happy! Get out of the way!"
Just when Happy was in a daze, Pepper's reminder came from behind.
He was so scared that he rolled over and away from his original position. The next second, the huge monster that was on the edge of the roof just now rushed towards him.
The huge, narrow lizard's tail swept across the ground, covered with barbs, leaving a clear mark.
If Happy had stayed where he was, he would have ended up like the broken concrete floor.
Happy stood up, looked back, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The only small pistol in his hand fell to the ground when he dodged, which was a bad thing.
Happy didn't dare to stay, he turned around and rushed behind him. Only by entering the building could he have a chance of survival.
But how could Happy, an ordinary person, fight against the giant lizard monster behind him? Before he could run a few steps, he felt a sound of breaking air from behind.
"Fuck! Fuck Fuck!"
Happy was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Finally, he thought of a clever idea and jumped up. The lizard monster's sharp claws passed by his back within a few inches.
It left a horrible scratch on the ground, but even though Happy managed to dodge the attack, he also staggered and fell to the ground.
He didn't have time to get up...
Just as Happy turned around from crawling on the ground to lying down, facing the monster behind him, staring into the yellow eyes of the giant lizard, he was ready to bravely face the arrival of death.
"Boom!"
A laser passed through Happy's head and hit the lizard monster's scales. The scales, which could have defended against bullets, were blasted open by the laser cannon. The lizard monster, which had its head tilted, also took a few steps back and finally fell to the ground.
"Bang--"
The rooftop and the ground shook several times.
"I won't allow you to do anything like this! Monster!"
Happy looked back when he heard Pepper's shaky but firm voice behind him.
Pepper actually put on the iron armor, floated in the air, and raised her arms to aim at the lizard monster on the ground.
Apart from Stark, Pepper is the only one who can wear the battle suits, and all models of them!
"Oh... Miss Pepper, you are so stunning." Happy sighed in a daze.
"Run! Happy..get out of here, I'll handle this!"
While urging Happy, Pepper was alert to the lizard monster lying on the ground. She was not sure if she had killed the monster this time.
It was obvious that Pepper suffered from not having experienced combat.
If it was Stark or Rhodey, as well as other people who had experienced fighting against extraordinary people, they would not hesitate to fire a few more shots.
But this cannot be blamed on Pepper. After all, a lady cannot be measured by the standards of a warrior.
Just as Pepper approached nervously, the lizard monster lying on the ground pretending to be dead suddenly jumped up!
A tailspin.
The lizard's tail, which was covered with barbs and looked like a meteor hammer, accurately hit the iron suit floating in the air.
