Invitation

At this moment, Justin Hammer, as if he were an old friend, sat down at a table with Charlotte Tony and the others, and then continued:

"You're not the only wealthy people driving luxury cars; I also really enjoy this event."

As he spoke, Justin Hammer pulled over a beautiful woman behind him. "This is Christine from <Vanity Fair>, Tony, do you know her?"

"I know them, but we're not close."

"She wants to interview me in Vanity Fair!"

Looking at the smug Justin Hammer, Tony laughed:

"She once 'did' an interview with me and then wrote a report about it, which was very impressive."

Christine then looked at Charlotte beside her, and said with a smile, "Mr. Charlotte, may I give you an interview?"

"If I can't get an interview with you, the editor-in-chief will definitely yell at me."

Charlotte smiled, just as Christine thought she was about to agree.

"No, I don't give interviews."

Upon hearing Charlotte's straightforward rejection, Tony smiled, while Justin Hammer felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly; the thing he was showing off was something others disdained.

Justin Hammer ignored Christine beside him and looked at Tony, saying:

"Tony, actually I'd like to showcase my products at your Stark Expo."

"Wow, if you invent something usable, I'll definitely save up a showroom for you."

At that moment, Tony at the collar of his shirt and said to Charlotte, "I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, Tony got up and left.

Natasha walked over, carrying some desserts, and placed them on the table. She then said to Justin Hammer and his companion, "Sir, this is our seat. Perhaps you could move aside?"

Looking at Natasha in her red dress, Justin Hammer showed a hint of embarrassment. He then took out a Business Card, placed it in front of Charlotte, and said, "Mr. Charlotte Doyle, Hammer Industries currently handles most of the Department of Department of Defense's orders. If you're interested, you can learn more. We also welcome individual investors."

After speaking, Justin Hammer didn't linger. He led Christine directly away from the table. Tony had experienced the journalistic thrill firsthand; he wanted to experience it for himself too...

Charlotte glanced at the Business Card on the table, a slight smile appearing on her face. Perhaps she could use it, but how to proceed might be the opposite of what Justin Hammer hoped for.

Seeing that Justin Hammer had left and that no one else was around to disturb her, Natasha whispered to Charlotte, "Mr. Charlotte, I am now Tony's assistant. Could you please refrain from telling Tony about my other identities for the time being?"

"Oh, another one of your undercover tricks, like the Mockingbird Barbara'?"

"Aren't you afraid of ending up like Barbara did?"

Charlotte's tone didn't change much, but Natasha felt a chill in her heart. Others might not know what happened to Barbara, but Natasha knew very well.

It was S.H.I.E.L.D.. that sent Barbara to infiltrate Charlotte's inner circle, but she was discovered and immediately beheaded. Her head was even sent to Coulson S.H.I.E.L.D. delivery. Thinking of this, Natasha felt a pang of panic and quickly said:

"Mr. Charlotte, we have no ill intentions towards Tony, and he has already become an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D.. It's just that his behavior has been a bit unusual lately, so I came to check if there's anything wrong with his health."

Charlotte remained unmoved by Natasha's almost pleading tone. Just as she was about to speak, Pepper Potts and Tsunade walked over, carrying four glasses of alcohol. Tsunade even placed a glass of whiskey in front of Charlotte.

Pepper Potts glanced at Natasha, her brow furrowing slightly, then looked at Charlotte with a smile and asked, "Where's Tony? Where did he go again?"

"He went to the restroom, he should be back soon."

"This guy is such a worry."

Pepper Potts's expression was not good, especially looking at Natasha in front of her. She was even more displeased. She knew Tony's personality very well. Hiring Natalie as his secretary was a dangerous sign. This was nothing like the glamorous women on the covers of magazines. So at this moment, she didn't want to pay any attention to this newly appointed secretary.

Charlotte ignored Natasha's previous words and instead looked at Tsunade sitting next to her, leaning close to her ear and saying with a smile, "What were you two discussing that took so long?"

Tsunade glanced at Charlotte who was approaching, then said, "You wouldn't be interested in women's talk."

Charlotte thought to herself: How will you know if I'll be interested if you don't tell me? Maybe I'll be very interested?

However, Charlotte ultimately didn't voice her true feelings, but instead picked up her whiskey and took a sip.

Toilet.

Tony glanced at the Arc Reactor he had magnetically attached to his chest. Although his chest injury had been healed, in order to be able to put on his armor and fight quickly, Tony placed the Arc Reactor in its original position instead of leaving it on the armor.

Of course, Tony had already instructed Jarvis to start making the model that would be attached to the armor, but it wasn't finished yet, so he couldn't bring it along this time.

After all, the Suitcase- style Mark Armor was developed before he received treatment, and its inspiration came from Charlotte's spatial ability to carry her own belongings.

While Tony can't yet replicate Charlotte's feat of storing the armor in an alternate dimension for personal use, he has managed to shrink it to the size of Suitcase, making it convenient to carry when out and about, and allowing him to quickly don the Iron Man Armor to deal with enemies in case of emergencies.

As for embedding the Arc Reactor inside, some modifications to the internal layout are necessary. After all, the original design did not consider reserving space for an internal Arc Reactor within the Suitcase- shaped armor, which would require some time for modification and remanufacturing.

Tony used the Blood Virus Detector, which showed that the current blood virus content was 0. He nodded in satisfaction and looked at himself in the Living Mirror.

"Now that we're here, let's not miss out!"

Soon, Tony changed into his racing suit, left the hotel, and entered the race venue.
