Chapter 106 Preparation

Pepper paused slightly, taken aback. "You know?"

"Of course, Aunt Pepper, have you forgotten my abilities?"

After asking a question in return, Erin continued without waiting for Pepper's reply, "Listen to me, Aunt Pepper, you are in great danger. I have divined that a shadow of death is constantly looming over you. You must leave Stark Industries as quickly as possible."

The shadow of death?

Erin had just finished speaking.

Pepper couldn't help but think of the documents she had just seen on the computer in her office: Obadiah's deals to smuggle Stark Industries' weapons to terrorists, and the footage of Obadiah hiring someone to kill Tony Stark.

If Obadiah found out that he had just copied enough criminal information to send him to prison, would he hire someone to kill him, just like he hired someone to kill Tony?

Thinking about this, Pepper, who was already feeling a little panicked, became even more frightened.

"Ding!"

Just then, the elevator arrived at the second floor and emitted a notification sound.

Feeling a little scared, Pepper instinctively quickened her pace, heading towards the staircase leading to the first floor.

Just as Pepper walked down the stairs, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson, who had been waiting on the first-floor lounge chair, immediately asked, "Ms. Potts, we made an appointment, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Erin, who also heard the voice over the phone, said directly, "Is that Coulson? Aunt Pepper, get him. He's an agent of the Strategic Homeland Security, Attack and Logistics Agency. You'll be safer with him."

"certainly!"

In fact, even if Erin hadn't said anything, Pepper, who was feeling somewhat insecure, was already planning to bring Coulson along.

At least, being associated with Coulson, an agent of the Strategic Homeland Security and Logistics Agency, would make Obadiah more cautious even if he wanted to get rid of her.

Thinking of this, Pepper turned slightly to Coulson and said, "Of course not, come with me! I happen to have something I want to give you."

"Now? Let's begin right away."

"Yes, come with me!"

"All right!"

Upon hearing this, Coulson paused for a moment, then immediately stood up from his chair and followed the somewhat anxious Pepper, quickly walking out of Stark Tower.

After hearing on the phone that Pepper and Coulson had met up.

Erin immediately said to Pepper on the phone, "Aunt Pepper, your crisis is not completely over. Next, find a safe place to stay until the crisis is over before going out, otherwise you will be in mortal danger."

"Don't worry, I will. Thank you, Erin. I have something very important to take care of right now, so I'll hang up now and contact you later."

After thanking Erin, Pepper hung up the phone.

Then he quickly turned to Coulson beside him and said, "I have something I want to give you, and I think you'll be interested."

"What?"

"Evidence regarding Obadiah's arms smuggling and his employment of terrorists to murder Tony."

········

the other side.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up.

Erin frowned slightly.

Although he had warned Pepper, he knew that the usually opinionated Pepper would never obediently listen to him.

"It seems I have to take a leave of absence and go there in person."

Just then, Erin glanced around and saw Gwen walking towards them from a distance, carrying books.

Ok.

Have it.

Erin took a few steps forward and quickly walked to Gwen's side, smiling as she called out to Gwen, "Hi, Gwen."

"Hi, Erin."

Seeing Erin walking towards her, Gwen couldn't help but smile.

Since experiencing one thing after another with Erin, the relationship between Gwen and Erin has also warmed up rapidly.

Although she hadn't known Erin for very long, Erin had unknowingly already occupied a very important place in Gwen's heart.

Just then, Erin, who was walking towards her, asked Gwen, "Um, I remember you're a student assistant, Gwen!"

"Of course, I'm a 12th-grade student assistant."

Gwen's voice carried a hint of pride when she spoke of her role as a student assistant.

Upon hearing this, Erin burst into laughter.

"That's great! I urgently need to take a day off. Gwen, could you please ask the teacher for me?"

Upon hearing that Erin needed to take leave, Gwen immediately asked with concern, "Is something wrong? If you need help, I can assist you..."

Before Gwen could finish speaking, Erin immediately shook her head and interrupted:

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. I just need to go see Aunt Pepper. As for help, the biggest help you can give me is getting me permission to take leave from those teachers."

Seeing that Erin seemed to be really alright, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, well, what can I do? I'm the student assistant. I'll ask the teacher for leave for you later."

"Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a big meal next time!"

After promising Gwen a big meal, Erin turned and quickly walked out of the school gate.

Gwen glanced at Erin's retreating figure, then turned and walked in another direction.

Before class, she had to go to the academic affairs office to ask for leave for Erin.

·······

After leaving school.

Erin didn't go to Pepper right away; instead, she took a taxi home first.

Before going to see Aunt Pepper, he had to go home and make some preparations.

A diviner never fights a battle he can't win, and neither does a clown who rises from the ranks of a diviner.

After returning to Chinatown.

After hiding some items on his person, Erin picked up his tools and began "divination".

·······

the other side.

Pepper then handed over the evidence of Obadiah's crimes to Colson.

Coulson took Pepper directly back to his car, then took out his laptop and opened the USB drive Pepper had given him.

After briefly browsing through a few files...

Coulson's expression immediately turned serious.

He turned to Pepper, who was sitting in the back row, and said, "This is a bit beyond my authority. I need to contact the director immediately."

As the second-largest director of Stark Industries, one of the top arms companies, and its CEO for decades, Obadiah has undoubtedly accumulated tremendous influence over the years.

Given his current social status and the terrifying network of connections he has built,

Even with this evidence, it would be extremely difficult to take action against him.

At least Coulson's level is not high enough.

and so.

Coulson is planning to call his parents.

Coulson believed their chief was more experienced in dealing with these people.

Furthermore, as the director of the Strategic Homeland Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, Nick Fury also had the authority to sign an arrest warrant for Obadiah.
