He immediately announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons division, stating that it would cease production of lethal weapons. This kidnapping experience deeply affected Tony; witnessing terrorists using weapons manufactured by Stark Industries, he desperately wanted to stop it all.

The original intention behind manufacturing weapons was to protect the nation from the ravages of war and to grant it the right to enjoy peace, absolutely not for killing. This goes against his original intention. Therefore, Tony decided to completely suspend the supply of weapons, a decision that caused a huge uproar in society.

Stark Industries stock, after surging following the CEO's return, has now plummeted.

Tony paid no heed to the media's ridicule, the public's doubts, the shareholders' resentment, or the shareholders' anger. He simply stopped production and let others say what they wanted.

In response, Obadiah Stanislav, also a major shareholder, visited Stark to dissuade them, explaining the facts and stating that closing the weapons production division would cause Stark to lose its most profitable business.

Tony scoffed, pointing to the Arc Reactor on his chest, indicating that he would focus on researching new energy sources to benefit all of humanity.

After being scrutinized by reporters for several days, he began to visit his savior at the hospital regularly.

Dr. Ethan has recovered from surgery, and all that remains is the comatose "Supergirl".

"The doctor said your body is unbelievably strong; they can't even insert a needle, you can only receive IV fluids through a tube." Tony pulled over a chair, sat down casually, and said with a wicked grin, "All the tests are normal, but you just won't wake up. I'm planning to fire these quack doctors and replace them with a new batch."

"Is there anything to eat?" Lu Yunmeng stared thoughtfully at the familiar face and asked directly. I'm already thankful you didn't plan to use a chainsaw to cut me; no wonder my mouth tasted strange, it turns out the nutrient solution was being injected through the rubber tube.

That kind of thing can only maintain the most basic bodily functions. After the awakening and burst, the huge energy consumption made her feel unbearably hungry, enough to eat a whole cow.

"Oh God, that was my oversight! We can't let Supergirl go hungry." Tony slapped his forehead, regretting his overreaction. "Can you eat a cheeseburger now? I mean, does your stomach need something soft? Like liquids?"

"Do you have Lanzhou beef noodles? Barbecue is fine too!" Lu Yunmeng asked curiously, tilting her head. To be honest, this body was a typical product of Western food, but her soul longed for the food of the Celestial Empire.

“Oh, come on! You should try my favorite food, the premium cheeseburger from Happy Time!” Tony winked and recommended. “I know you have Asian ancestry, but there’s no Lanzhou ramen in Los Angeles. You’ll need to adapt to the environment. Of course, there might be, but it’ll definitely not be authentic.”

"And the Greek barbecue here is probably a bit different from Eastern barbecue, you know, it's just hard to swallow~"

Lu Yunmeng watched Tony's long-winded rambling with amusement, and was in a pretty good mood.

"Hey, it's decided then, happy, order ten set meals, you know my taste~" Tony said to his friend standing outside the ICU without giving him a chance to refuse.

An hour later, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Yunmeng, Tony, and Happy had eaten a total of fifty cheeseburger meals... Lu Yunmeng alone made forty-five cheeseburgers and Cokes, leaving Tony and Happy dumbfounded.

Happy, in particular, assumed this woman, prettier than any Time magazine model, was some mistress his boss had brought back. Turns out, he was incredibly naive. With that elephant's appetite, she couldn't possibly be a normal woman!

Only Tony himself, the military, and relevant departments knew about Lu Yunmeng's information. Even Pepper, who trusted him the most, was not informed, and Happy knew even less about it.

Lu Yunmeng patted her belly with satisfaction, stroking her well-defined abdominal muscles under her hospital gown. Despite eating such an exaggerated amount of food, there was no sign of bulging. It felt quite nice.

Genetic mutations made her already beautiful figure exceptionally fit and curvaceous, with almost no excess fat except in certain areas.

She felt quite full after the meal, and her metabolism was incredibly fast; she could already feel her strength gradually returning.

"Miss, I must say your appetite is astounding. I feel like you could eat a whole person alive," Tony teased, wiping his mouth.

The last time I saw someone who could eat so much was in a competitive eating contest, where a 300-pound fat man ate more than 50 hot dogs in one go, but that pales in comparison to a 45-hamburger meal.

Lu Yunmeng just smiled and didn't say anything, continuing to explore her awakened superpowers and feel the immense power flowing through her body.

"What are your plans next? Continue being a freelance journalist or something?" Tony asked casually.

"I haven't decided yet, I might just wander around," Lu Yunmeng replied casually.

Having actually gained the abilities of Homelander, she wanted to try going to outer space. Humanity has always yearned for the profound universe, and she was no exception.

She also wanted to test whether it was truly impossible to absorb sunlight to enhance her strength, and she was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

In theory, people with physical strength similar to that of Homelander could go into space.

Although it lacks the biological protection of a superhuman, its superior genes allow it to barely survive in a vacuum environment, though it's hard to say how long it can live.

Moreover, Lu Yunmeng's maximum flight speed can reach Mach 35, which exceeds the second cosmic velocity and is enough to escape Earth's gravity and break through planetary orbits.

“I don’t like beating around the bush. How about staying at Stark Industries and being my bodyguard?” Tony stated his purpose directly. Having witnessed Lu Yunmeng’s exaggerated abilities, he was extremely envious.

Coupled with the unauthorized sale of Stark weapons to terrorists and the attacks and kidnappings, Tony became even more vigilant, and he needed a sufficiently powerful bodyguard.

The Iron Man armor series has been put on the research agenda, but that's not enough!

Moreover, Tony had checked Lu Yunmeng's background through Jarvis, and this mixed-race superwoman had no bad records.

Twenty-four years old, unmarried, PhD in Journalism from Brown University. Although not as good as me, he is still a genius.

He resigned from his job at The New York Times due to dissatisfaction with the difficult treatment he received from his superiors, and became a freelance journalist.

She is very enthusiastic about helping people affected by disasters in war zones, actively participates in public welfare activities, and despite her young age, she has traveled all over the world to report on various injustices.

Her courage in helping the weak and not fearing the powerful perfectly aligned with his ideals, so he decided to keep this righteous female reporter.

As for the military's covetous eyes, he didn't take them seriously at all. Little did Tony know, the righteous female reporter had long since perished, replaced by a soul from another world, Earth.

"Don't rush to refuse. No one can refuse the offer Stark made: an annual salary of $5000 million." Tony clapped his hands and said with a grin, "The company has a public relations department; you can continue with your hobbies."

"The work is very flexible and there are no restrictions. You just need to show your face in the news department every month, and then you can do whatever you want with the rest."

"As long as you keep me alive in your spare time~ By the way, the prerequisite is that you have super hearing and know I'm in danger."

"So, does Superman staying in a newspaper office fit your character perfectly?"

His personality is very unpredictable and hard to fathom; it's impossible to know what he'll say next.

But his purpose was clear: he needed a super-powered bodyguard. Furthermore, he was extremely curious about this Supergirl's abilities and wanted to study them without compromising his personal freedom.

"Deal?" Tony asked solemnly, extending his hand. He believed only a fool would refuse such an excellent job.

"Deal!" Lu Yunmeng's lips curled up. She slowly sat up, stood up from the bed, and took the other person's hand.

As a billionaire, Tony already has a strong security detail. She only needs to fulfill her duties and deal with dangers that ordinary people cannot withstand. At least in her hazy memory, possessing Homelander's power shouldn't pose too much danger in the early Marvel universe.

She also needs to spend time researching how to become stronger and how to explore this world.

Besides wanting to go to outer space, she also wants to visit China. Although the world is different, it will always be her only home.

Whether or not one goes to work seems irrelevant.

Lu Yunmeng once asked the system why she lacked memories of the Marvel movie plot, and the system's explanation was that the time travel had damaged her soul.

As time goes by, the wounds of the soul will slowly heal, and the memories will be restored.

"That's fantastic, Lulu, may I call you that? I can only say you made a wise decision!" Tony rubbed his hands excitedly. Hiring a Superwoman as a bodyguard for $5000 million a year was definitely a good deal.

“You won’t waste a single penny, boss,” Lu Yunmeng said with a smile.

"Get some rest, and you'll be back at work in a week," Tony said, turning and leaving the ward.

In the hospital corridor, Happy, who was following behind, finally couldn't hold back any longer and said uncertainly, "Hey Tony, you're making this beautiful lady your personal bodyguard, so what am I supposed to do? I think your decision is a bit hasty. She doesn't look very strong. To be a bodyguard, you should at least have bigger muscles, don't you think?"

Happy felt that this woman, whose identity he didn't know, had stolen his job, and it seemed to be a way for the boss to pick up girls.

Judging from her appearance, this young woman has a beautiful figure. She may have practiced martial arts or some kind of exercise, but that's all.

He didn't think the other person was qualified for the bodyguard job. If he wanted to pick up girls, he could just send him to the public relations department. Why bother with all that?

“Happy, from now on you are promoted to Director of Security at Stark Industries.” Tony smiled and patted Happy on the shoulder. “First of all, I’m not just saying this to myself. She’s not weak, in fact, she’s far stronger than you think.”

Secondly, you don't need to worry about my decision at all.

He thought to himself, "If you'd seen how she used her heat vision to slice those terrorists into pieces, you wouldn't think that way."

"Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots." Happy shrugged helplessly, but inwardly he was unimpressed, thinking it was just his boss's new way of picking up girls. Anyway, he got promoted, so why bother? Why not?

However, right after the two left, a sophisticated woman with long blonde hair, dressed in a business suit and high heels, carrying a stack of documents, pushed open the door to the ward.

“Miss Lu, I’m Pepper Potts, and I’d like to speak with you.”

Chapter 7 The Arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lu Yunmeng slightly raised her eyes and had already noticed that Pepper Potts had been standing in the hospital corridor for a long time, waiting until Tony and Happy left before coming in.

Pepper, nicknamed "Pepper," is Tony Stark's personal secretary and the woman he trusts most in his life.

She was beautiful, generous, shrewd, and capable, helping Tony manage all affairs and was the closest person in this billionaire's life.

"Hello." Lu Yunmeng smiled kindly and nodded in acknowledgment.

She had a good impression of Pepper, after all, in the original story, Pepper was an admirable character.

Pepper looked at the girl in front of her, who was even more beautiful than herself and looked like a delicate doll, with a complicated expression. She thought to herself that her boss's judgment was indeed good this time, at least much better than those cover girls she had "swept out" before.

Even so, she still disliked that Tony always brought back beautiful women, especially under the pretext of his serious job as a "bodyguard," which was simply incomprehensible!

"Miss Lu, I apologize for disturbing your rest."

"I hope what I'm about to say won't seem too abrupt." Pepper's tone was gentle, her attitude sincere, and she appeared very cultured.

She came without telling her boss, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Go ahead and say it," Lu Yunmeng raised an eyebrow, casually leaning against the hospital bed frame, and responded softly.

Although she didn't have superhuman mental control, she could still guess Pepper's intentions.

“I hope you can turn down Tony’s offer,” Pepper said bluntly.

"What's the reason?" A glint flashed in Lu Yunmeng's emerald-like eyes as she asked with a half-smile.

“I don’t think you’re qualified to be a bodyguard. I can’t entrust Tony’s safety to a freelance journalist.” Pepper’s tone was serious; though the words were harsh, the reasoning was sound.

Since becoming Tony's personal secretary, Pepper has been managing his life and work affairs without ever interfering with his private arrangements.

But this time the situation is different. Tony has just been kidnapped by terrorists and has been missing for three whole months. Dangers are lurking everywhere around him.

To this end, Pepper has contacted a professional security company to provide Tony with comprehensive protection.

She specifically checked Lu Yunmeng's background and found that this girl had no professional bodyguard skills, not even basic fighting skills.

The so-called "bodyguard" is more like an excuse Tony made to cover up some other purpose.

Pepper felt that Tony's decision was too hasty, and out of a sense of responsibility, she decided to step in and correct the problem herself.

"Hmm, I must say, your eyes are very beautiful." Lu Yunmeng stared intently at Pepper, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly said.

"Huh?" Pepper was stunned for a moment, thinking: I was talking to you about serious business, why are you suddenly praising me?

Lu Yunmeng smiled and said nothing more.

She did think Pepper was very beautiful, especially her eyes, which were full of wisdom and determination.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't say any more."

"I'm just offering a suggestion; the final decision rests with the boss." Pepper shook her head, somewhat regretting her impulsive actions.

This kind of thing could have been handled in other ways; there was no need to meet with the person involved directly. Being aggressive is not her style.

Perhaps the pressure from Lu Yunmeng was too much for her, or perhaps there were other reasons, but in any case, she impulsively came. Pepper sighed helplessly and turned to leave the ward.
