I Snatched Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet

Chapter 253 Pepper's Midnight Nightmare

"Of course Pepper, what can I do for you?"

"You just said Tony was in trouble, what the hell is going on?"

Qin Yu shook his head: "It's not a big deal, although it is really troublesome, but with Tony's luck and wisdom, it will be resolved in the end, but before that, he may show some strange phenomena, don't pay too much attention to it .”

Seeing that Qin Yu didn't want to go into too much detail, but his tone was very relaxed, Pepper also nodded slightly, "Well, if it's really going to be resolved as you said, I'll try not to worry about it." After speaking, Pepper bit her lip, "There is another very strange thing, maybe it's just my overthinking, but it really bothers me."

"whats the matter?"

"I always have nightmares recently. After waking up, I can't remember the content of the dream clearly, but I can roughly remember that every nightmare ends with death. This is not too strange in itself. Most The weird thing is that every time I wake up at 12 midnight I don't know what the hell is going on, biological clock or something, Tony keeps mentioning you so I think maybe you know what's going on .”

After hearing this, Qin Yu immediately understood what was going on, and looked at Pepper with a little more pity.

Silly girl, you were really killed.

As for why it wakes up at 12 o'clock, because 12 o'clock is the time for the system to refresh NPCs, and dead NPCs will be refreshed at 12 o'clock.

Some people like to make friends with plot characters, and some people want to show their strength by killing plot characters. It is said that in the past life, there will always be players who are idle and will kill those more famous plot characters, causing many People can't hand in the task, maybe it's because they hate watching movies, maybe they just want to be addicted to it. Those NPCs who become superheroes or super villains are okay. After all, they are powerful. Individual players are not unique at all. Players generally need to form a group. Those NPCs with little combat power are even more miserable, and they may be killed by passing players on a whim anytime, anywhere.

Later, someone did a statistic, the NPC who was killed the most times, and found that the NPCs who were killed the most times happened to be the targets of several most popular heroes. Pepper was among them, and it is said that he was killed more than a hundred times The above, and basically all of them are done by female players. The main reason is that she has no self-defense ability, and there is only one bodyguard, Harpy, with a combat power of 5. Any female player who comes to the second rank can easily succeed.

Unexpectedly, her tragic experience began so early.

Qin Yu thought about it seriously, and it is really difficult to prevent this matter. The best way is to hire a bodyguard for Pepper.

But ordinary bodyguards are definitely not good. Although the level of those jealous female players is generally not very high, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong, compared to other players, it must be very easy to deal with an ordinary bodyguard.

But those powerful superheroes or super villains in the Marvel universe are not easy to find. You can’t find Captain America or Nick Fury to be Pepper’s bodyguard. This is a bit difficult.

correct! Qin Yu suddenly thought of someone, maybe he could help.

"I think you may be lacking a sense of security. After all, you are so busy, and you are the manager of Stark Industries. You must be under a lot of pressure. I suggest you hire two more reliable bodyguards. I happen to know Two people, maybe I can recommend it to you."

"Bodyguard?" Pepper was a little stunned. He didn't expect such a suggestion. "I thought it would be psychological counseling or something."

Qin Yuxin said that counseling in the heart doesn't work, it's not a psychological problem.

"That's right, these two people are mutants with some special abilities, and the charges are very reasonable. If you need them, I can ask them to contact you tomorrow."

Pepper thought about it, but she was a little embarrassed. She didn't think relying on bodyguards could solve this problem.

And now she is just Stark's secretary. Although she is actually managing the company, her position is not high enough to hire a bodyguard, and the company doesn't report it.

"I'll go back and think about it, but thank you, Mr. Merlin." Pepper tactfully chose to refuse.

Qin Yu nodded with a smile, and didn't force it.

When Pepper returned to Stark, he was almost surrounded by women.

"Hi Tony, I'm a little tired tonight. I'm going to go back first. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"No, I can handle it. By the way, drive Pepper carefully on the road. By the way, do you want Happy to take you back?" Stark asked with concern, and he would only show his caring side to Pepper. You can't leave the meeting, after all, it is the organizer of the expo, even if you don't like socializing, you still have to deal with it.

However, Stark's considerate performance towards Pepper, the female players next to him all showed envious and jealous expressions.

Seeing Pepper's leaving back, a blond woman in a black evening dress next to Stark showed a sneer, turned around and followed out quietly.

Pepper walked up to her car and was about to get in, when she suddenly felt something. When she turned around, she saw a woman in black appeared behind her without warning, and she was very close to her. The woman didn't know her at all, but those green eyes made Pepper instinctively feel a chill.

"Hello, what do you have—"

Pooh! A dagger stabbed deeply into her chest and interrupted Pepper's words. Pepper was so painful that she could hardly breathe, clutching her chest, and soon lost consciousness.

what! Pepper screamed and sat up from the bed.

She touched her sweaty forehead with her hand, and said in her heart that it was coming again, and she had another nightmare.

I checked the time on my phone, and it was exactly twelve midnight again.

She covered her face for a while before she calmed down. After a moment of hesitation, she dialed the number of the person named Merlin.

"Hey, I've thought it through. Please help me arrange a meeting with the two bodyguards you mentioned."

———————

The exposition finally came to a successful conclusion.

Stark is done with it and can finally leave.

"Can you believe it? You said I got into trouble. You can really be joking. Me, Tony Stark! No one dares to get me into trouble." As he walked out, Stark turned to Happy next to him. He couldn't help but say, although he said he didn't believe it, but he cared about it so much, but he obviously believed it.

"I think he's just playing tricks Mr. Stark, you know those occult guys who are always trying to figure things out, last time I went to a gypsy witch to tell my fortune, she actually said I shouldn't be a bodyguard, Instead, I should become a director and make movies, saying that that is my destiny, let me make movies! Can you be confident, those fortune tellers can say anything.”

After talking, the two came to the parking place, but there was a woman standing gracefully beside the car, and she was quite beautiful.

But Stark knew what was going on right away, at least he thought he knew - another beautiful woman came over and offered to throw herself into her arms (send the cannon).

He has encountered this kind of thing too much before. After all, he is a famous playboy, handsome, and a local tyrant. He is simply the perfect lover in the eyes of women. It is a pity that he has become a good man now, but I have to say , every time he sees a beautiful woman take the initiative to throw herself into her arms, he will still feel a sense of accomplishment.

He deliberately pretended not to notice the woman, and reached out to pull the car door.

"Hi Mr. Stark, may I bother you?" The woman asked aloud.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood ma'am. You are indeed a beautiful woman and very attractive. I might have invited you to dinner before, but to be honest, I'm not in the mood to do that kind of thing recently." Tucker wants to reject each other as much as possible without hurting each other's feelings.

Unexpectedly, the woman showed an inexplicable smile when she heard it.

"I think you got Mr. Stark wrong, I'm here to give you something," said the beauty.

"Uh, what is it?"

"Subpoena—you are ordered to attend the Senate Armed Services Committee." The beauty said and handed the subpoena directly to Stark's eyes.

Tony Stark's face turned black immediately. On the one hand, he was embarrassed by what he said just now, and on the other hand, he thought of the troubles that Merlin said just now, and a black line suddenly appeared on his head. This crow's mouth really hit the mark what.
