Chapter 179 Pepper's Sorrow

In Tony Stark's temporary laboratory on the 82nd floor of Stark Tower, Manhattan, New York City.

A ball of fire suddenly appeared, and Donton emerged from the fire.

The moment he appeared, Jarvis' voice rang out.

"Mr. Tang, your appearance always makes me unable to calculate. Could you please go through the door next time?"

"Come on, Jarvis, you don't seem like the type to make demands, so Tony taught you to say that, right?"

As Donton responded, he took out a bottle of wine from Tony's wine cabinet, and then went to Tony Stark's bedroom door and waited.

After a while.

Bang!

Tony's bedroom door slammed open, and the disheveled Tony yelled at Donton in angrily.

"Donton, damn it, could you please stop harassing me!

This is already the third day, and you have to show up at my place every day. Why don’t you just stay at my place so you don’t have to run around all the time?”

"Aha?"

In response to Tony's greeting, Donton smiled and patted his shoulder.

"you sure?"

“I’m sure of it, man!

If letting you live in my house can save you from doing those boring things, I would rather look at your ugly face every day!"

At this point, Tony turned around nervously and looked towards his bedroom.

At the same time, Donton forcefully pushed Tony aside and forced his way into Tony's bedroom.

The next moment, the panicked Little Pepper didn't even put on her shoes, and rushed towards the door barefoot in a fairly neat women's suit.

Looking at the running Pepper, Donton grinned, then rushed behind her and slapped her hard on the butt!
"Downton!!!"

On the side, Tony's face turned green, and he raised his right hand to Donton in anger.

As he moved, three red and gold laser cannons suddenly descended from the bedroom, with the muzzles aimed at Donton's head.

Looking at those laser cannons, Donton shook his head in boredom.

"Come on, man, you know these things can't do anything to me.

If you want to deal with me better, you still have to put the Vibranium allocated to you by SHIELD into your armor!"

"Fake!"

Hearing what Donton said, Tony cursed unhappily, then retracted the laser cannon in frustration.

Then he came to Downton and spoke to him angrily.

“They are S.H.I.E.L.D., not you.

I gave Nick Fury two hundred million dollars, and only managed to get twenty kilograms of vibranium.

And they only got 50 kilograms of vibranium from Wakanda!

With just this little bit of material, even though I have worked very hard on research and development, do you think knowledge will fall from the sky and hit me?
I admit that I am indeed the smartest person in the world, but it will take me at least one or two months from research and development to application.

Damn it, can you please stop coming to check my progress every day, and especially stop slapping my lover's butt!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony angrily grabbed Donton's collar.

Donton sneered and pulled his hands off his clothes.

"It'll take another month or two, why didn't you tell me earlier?
If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have had the time to hang out with you here!"

After saying that, Donton slapped Tony's butt again, scaring Tony so much that he quickly jumped a few meters away.

Tony yelled in frustration as he instinctively covered his butt.

"Are you done yet? If you want to, why don't you kill me? Do you think it's fun to play tricks on me every day?"

"Uh, isn't that interesting?"

Donton replied, spreading his hands towards Tony.

Hearing this, Tony closed his eyes helplessly. After giving a bitter smile, he continued to speak to Downton.

"Stop it, Donton, I have a lot of things to do now.

In addition to reinforcing my armor with vibranium, I also have to repair and reinforce my building!

You should know that my building was not in such a bad condition originally, it was you who added a lot of work to me!"

"But shouldn't you Americans have a lot of experience in reinforcing buildings? After all, not every country will have a plane accidentally fall into a building."

"Fake!!!"

In response to Downton's words, Tony frustratedly threw a piece of unfinished armor component at Downton.

Donton took the parts casually and then curled his lips at Tony.

"Okay, you continue your research, and I'll come see you and Pepper tomorrow."

After saying that, Donton walked towards Tony's window in a bored manner, and then walked into a ball of fire. Looking at the fire that appeared when Donton left, Tony Stark covered his head in frustration.

"Damn it!"

While cursing, he quickly left the bedroom and returned to his laboratory.

"Jarvis!"

He said to the air unhappily.

"In addition to the armor's defensive capabilities, my new armor must also be convenient enough!
Let me think, nanotechnology is a bit unable to do it at the moment, so... I must try to prepare a combat armor positioning and donning and doffing system for myself that I can carry with me.

Wait, I don’t just want to carry it with me, because even if I carry it with me, it will be difficult for me to deal with the ghosts that may appear at any time!

So, damn it, I guess I'll have to specialize in nanotechnology after all!"

After saying that, Stark tiredly began his calculations and research and development for today.

Including today, for the past three days, Donton would come over every morning to supervise his research and development progress.

Pat Pepper's butt by the way!
The worst thing was that yesterday morning, he missed the time when Downton arrived at his house because of a meeting between the Avengers.

That was only the second day, and he didn't expect that Downton would come every day!

As a result, because of his absence, Pepper had to face Downton alone.

But this bastard didn't do anything when he was with Pepper. It was not until he hurried back home that he finally pinched Pepper's butt hard in front of him!
The point is that it happened right in front of me. Damn it, this bastard was actually coming for me!
He wasn't patting Pepper's butt, he was actually patting his own face!

Thinking of this, the fatigue in Stark's eyes disappeared a lot, and was replaced by full hatred.

He quickly immersed himself in scientific research, quickly input a large amount of data into the holographic research and development interface, and ran his scientific research plan at high speed.

If he wants to prevent Pepper from being fooled by Downton again, he must master the vibranium material as soon as possible!
But the question is, will my efforts today provide some help to Downton in the future?
After all, he had been showing great interest in his own armor since the first day...

Thinking of this, Tony was suddenly stunned, and even the movements of his hands slowed down.

He just muttered to himself with amusement.

“Even if that bastard didn’t have his armor, he would be a huge problem that we can’t solve.

So, even if he steals a complete set of my armor, what can it do? "

After he finished speaking, Tony turned his anger into motivation and devoted himself to research and development again.

And Downton.

When he walked out of the flames, Hill and everyone in the command room couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

"Gudong!"

I don't know who swallowed hard, and then the people in the command room lowered their heads and continued to work.

However, while they were working, they looked at Hill, whose face was flushed, more cautiously.

In their eyes, Donton really came to Hill and slapped Hill on the butt.

"Good morning, little girl. How was your night without me? Did you feel extra lonely?"

"Don!"

Hill trembled and slapped Donton's hand away, glaring fiercely at each pair of eyes looking at her.

Facing Hill's ferocious eyes, the air in the command cabin suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then the sound of typing on the keyboard could be heard again.

At the same time, Hill pleaded with Downton.

"At least I am the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tang, can't you...can't you give me a little face?"

After she finished speaking, Hill looked around carefully. When she made sure no one was watching her, she gritted her teeth and grabbed Donton's hand.

She was seen walking towards the training ground with Donton in her hand, scolding her subordinates.

"Focus on your work and maintain your flight altitude. Consultant Tang and I will be away for a while..."

As he spoke of this, Hill's palms began to sweat.

After a brief silence, the other clerks gasped in surprise.

At the same time, Donton looked around and asked softly.

"Where's Natasha? She's not here today?"

"His!"

"Oh, God!"

"so envious!"

"What the hell!"

"I am here."

The last word was uttered by Natasha, who happened to come back from the deck and saw Hill's face blushing beyond words.
