I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 23 The Beginning of Fate

"Hehe, Aunt Pepper, you don't understand the joy of Coke."

Pepper shook her head and said, "Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. The pizza and fried chicken are still hot, let's eat them while they're hot, otherwise the weather will get cold quickly."

As she spoke, Pepper took out the pizza with the most meat from the pizza box and handed it to Erin.

"Thank you, Aunt Pepper!"

Erin didn't stand on ceremony; after taking the pizza from Pepper, he started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Ever since that visualization of the cosmic brain, Erin's appetite has increased dramatically; he eats more and gets hungry faster.

It's unclear whether it was because the meditation session had been too taxing and his body was trying to replenish the lost nutrients, or whether he simply needed more nutrition to meet his current needs.

After a meal.

Pepper ate only one slice of pizza and a glass of juice, while the rest of the pizza and fried chicken went into Erin's stomach.

The sight of Pepper eating like a starving ghost startled her.

I thought something was wrong with Erin's health.

"Aunt Pepper, don't worry, I've been training my physical fitness lately, so I've been eating a lot."

"Physical training?"

"Well, the reason I was kidnapped so easily last time was actually because I was too weak physically. Otherwise, even if I couldn't beat those bastards, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to catch me. So after escaping this time, I've been training my physical fitness. Well, my appetite has also increased recently."

"I see."

Pepper breathed a slight sigh of relief after Erin finished explaining.

The physical training is intense and consumes a lot of energy, so it's okay to eat a little more, as long as there's no problem with Erin's health.

Moreover, it's not a bad thing for a boy to be physically strong.

After dinner.

Erin and Pepper then started chatting.

"By the way, when I came here this afternoon, I heard Chief George call and say that the leader of the Water Ghost Gang died last night. Even the last remaining big boss was arrested by Chief George for murder. Now you can rest assured and no longer have to worry."

Hearing this, Erin was slightly taken aback.

So the big boss known as "Seaweed" was arrested by the NYPD!

No wonder I wiped out the Water Ghost Gang but still couldn't find that guy.

Erin believed that if anyone dared to touch the daughter of a New York Police Commissioner, the next big boss known as the Water Ghost was finished.

Furthermore, given that he had managed to become the second-in-command of a gang, Erin didn't believe that the other party didn't have a criminal record.

This time, once they're in the NYPD, they're not getting out.

Erin believed that the NYPD officers and prison guards would treat this water ghost well.

Thinking about this...

Erin laughed, "This is truly karma; now I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Pepper laughed and said, "You really should get a good night's sleep, otherwise you won't be energetic enough to go to Gwen's house tomorrow night."

"Oh! Aunt Pepper, how did you know?"

Pepper laughed and said, "I know Gwen's mother, Helen. Besides inviting you, she also invited me. However, something happened at Stark Industries these past few days, and I can't get away, so I can only let you go by yourself, little rascal."

"But it's probably better if I don't go. Who knows, you little rascal might even win the heart of your sweetheart?"

It turned out to be the case.

After automatically ignoring Pepper's teasing, Erin recalled the worried look on Pepper's face when she entered and asked, "Something happened at Stark Industries? Aunt Pepper, was that what you were worried about?"

Pepper paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "You saw it all."

"certainly!"

"Okay, I won't lie to you. Tony has disappeared, and the entire Stark Industries has been thrown into chaos. Even the military keeps sending people over to inquire. As Tony's personal assistant, I have to handle all of this. In addition, I also have to deal with the reporters who have come to investigate. These past few days, so many things have really made me quite overwhelmed."

Perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long and needed to confide in him, or perhaps because she truly regarded Erin as her nephew, Pepper poured out all the troubles she had encountered in the past few days to Erin.

Of course, besides company matters, Erin's situation was also one of the reasons Pepper was worried.

However, Pepper did not intend to mention this to Erin.

"Tony? You mean that famous billionaire playboy Tony Stark? When did he disappear?"

"Um?"

Hearing Erin's question, Pepper asked in surprise, "Don't you know? The news outlets have been reporting this news like crazy these past few days."

Erin shrugged. "Aunt Pepper, you know, I haven't been watching the news at all these past few days because of that."

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, Erin, I forgot about that."

Pepper said something with some guilt, then pulled Erin over and hugged him tightly.

After a long while, she said, comforted by Erin, "Seriously, Tony disappeared on the same day you were kidnapped!"

Ok?

the same day.

Pepper had no idea that her words had caused such a huge uproar in Erin's heart.

As Marvel's chosen one, Tony's disappearance can be seen as the beginning of the Marvel Universe's extraordinary emergence and the start of a world-shaking change.

On the day Tony Stark disappeared, I happened to be transported to this world. Was it a coincidence, or was there some unknown connection between us?

Suppressing her shock and doubt, Erin said, "Really? What a coincidence!"

"What's so coincidental!" Pepper rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I've been worrying about you two a lot these past few days."

"Your problem is solved now, but we still haven't heard anything from Tony..."

As she spoke, an undisguised worry surfaced in Pepper's eyes.

"Don't worry, Aunt Pepper, Tony Stark is a world-renowned genius scientist. He'll be fine," Erin reassured her.

"But the military found the wreckage of several military vehicles and the bodies of soldiers in the area where Tony disappeared. The military suspects that Tony and his team may have been attacked by a terrorist organization..."

Pepper's voice trembled slightly, as if she dared not think about the worst possible outcome.

Seeing this, Erin had to change her approach: "Aunt Pepper, you might as well think about it from a different perspective. Given Tony Stark's status, if something really happened to him, the terrorist organization that attacked them would have already come forward and publicized it."

"No terrorist organization has come forward to claim they assassinated the famous Tony Stark. Doesn't that, in itself, prove that Tony Stark is actually safe and sound?"
