I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 105 Pepper's Heart Trembles

Iron Man and Iron Monger face off.

This seems to be a battle that has set the stage for something extraordinary in this world. If I participate in this battle, will I gain some more Fate Points?

Fate points are really hard to come by.

He had recently sacrificed the artifact of destiny in the textile factory to obtain a large amount of destiny points.

But who would have thought that he would use up all of his talent as soon as he manifested it?

Of course, Erin didn't regret it.

However, if Erin wants to become stronger quickly, he needs to acquire more Fate Points.

Ah!

and many more!

I remember that the battle between Iron Man and Iron Monger seemed to involve Aunt Pepper.

If Tony Stark hadn't arrived in time, Pepper would have almost died at the hands of the Iron Monger.

This world isn't a movie, and with Erin's arrival changing the world, who knows if Tony will even be able to get there in time?

No.

I must remind Aunt Pepper that we shouldn't let her take such a big risk.

Thinking of this, Erin twitched his arm and freed it from Doug's grasp.

"Excuse me, Doug, I suddenly remembered something urgent I need to take care of. Wait a moment."

After saying that, Erin flashed and moved through the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

In no time at all, he disappeared from Doug's sight.

·······

Walk through the crowd.

Erin quickly found a secluded corner of the campus.

Then he dialed the number that had always been in his phone.

"Beep, beep..."

After the phone rang a few times, Pepper quickly answered Erin's call.

······

Stark Industries headquarters.

Inside the CEO's office.

Pepper Potts, who had just copied evidence from her computer that Obadiah had secretly authorized Stark Industries to smuggle weapons and bribed the Ten Rings to assassinate Tony Stark, was cornered in the CEO's office by Obadiah, who had come over to pour her a drink.

Pepper, already shocked by the long string of information, felt her heart skip a beat when Obadiah, the real mastermind behind Tony's assassination, suddenly opened the office door.

Then it started thumping violently.

Just as Pepper thought she had been exposed and was trembling with fear, Obadiah suddenly walked towards the wine cabinet on the side.

He picked up a bottle of wine and smiled slightly at Pepper, saying, "Tony, he's never short of good wine."

Just then, Pepper's cell phone, which was on the seat, suddenly rang.

[A Great Opportunity]

Although she was panicking inside, Pepper still managed to keep a calm expression on her face. While picking up her phone, she casually put the USB drive she had just unplugged back into her palm.

Then, without making a sound, he pressed the call connection button.

Before Erin could speak on the other end of the phone, Pepper, seeing the number displayed on her phone, said first, "Erin, what's up? I'm working right now, can I call you back later?"

At that moment, Obadiah, who was standing not far from Pepper and had just taken a sip of his drink, heard this and said understandingly, "Arlin? I remember this is your nephew. A boy his age calling you must have something on his mind. Don't hang up right away, Pepper. Stark Industries has never been the kind of company that's heartless. Go take care of your personal matters and come back to work later. Hmm... just like I'm taking a break here right now."

As he spoke, Obadiah raised his glass.

After tasting the beverage, he felt it wasn't quite enough, so he turned around and went to the refrigerator to get some ice cubes, which he then added to the glass.

It must be said that Obadiah has always been very good at winning people's hearts.

This may be one of the reasons why Obadiah was able to deceive Tony Stark's feelings for decades, making Tony regard him as one of the most trusted people.

If it weren't for the data copied onto the USB drive, which clearly reminded Pepper of Obadiah's hidden cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, Pepper might have been moved by Obadiah's thoughtfulness based solely on what they just witnessed.

Taking advantage of the moment Obadiah turned his back, I closed the pop-up window on my computer that indicated the download was successful.

Pepper gave Obadiah an apologetic smile and said, "Well... I'll go take care of that first."

As she spoke, Pepper pointed to the phone in her hand that was still connected.

"certainly!"

Obadiah took another sip of the wine with ice, feeling that the taste had improved considerably, and walked to the opposite side of Pepper with a smile, saying to her.

Just then, Erin's voice came through Pepper's phone.

"Aunt Pepper, don't you have time today? I'm out at school for a bit, and I might need you to come over."

Obadiah's smile widened at this, and he stood opposite Pepper, saying softly, "Go, your boy needs you right now!"

"Thanks."

After politely thanking Obadiah.

With her heart pounding and feeling incredibly guilty, Pepper grabbed her briefcase and quickly walked out of the office.

Watching Pepper's retreating figure as she disappeared with the phone in her hand.

Obadiah chuckled.

Then he took another sip of the chilled fine wine.

After squinting and enjoying the intoxicating feeling of the alcohol for a while, Obadiah keenly sensed something was wrong and suddenly opened his eyes.

[Wait, Tony has been barred from working by the board, so why is Pepper, Tony's personal assistant, in the office right now?]

Wait, she seemed to be using the computer just now.

As if realizing something, Obadiah instantly woke up, put down his wine glass, and quickly went to the computer.

Then he started operating the computer quickly.

Not long after.

Obadiah then retrieved the access and operation records from the computer.

"Damn it!"

Obadiah reached behind him, rubbed his bald head, quickly got up, and chased after Pepper in the direction she had left.

It was just delayed a little.

Pepper had already taken the elevator and left the Stark Group building.

·······

Let's rewind a few minutes.

Leaving the CEO's office and getting into the elevator, Pepper immediately spoke into her phone the instant the doors closed: "Sorry, Erin, I have something very important to take care of right away, I might not have time to go to Midtown High School..."

Before Pepper could finish speaking.

Erin interrupted on the other end of the phone, saying, "I know, Aunt Pepper. Actually, I don't have anything for you to handle. I only said that because I knew you were in danger and wanted to use it as an excuse to get you out of danger."
