Chapter 282
Melina looked startled and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that, because I know that if you can give it to me, you can also take it away."
"So I will only feel grateful, not arrogant."
"I, I just..."
"Natasha is the one you have the highest hopes for among us. It's such a pity to kill her like this."
Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?
Although Melina is not Natasha's biological mother, after so many years of living together and watching her grow up, it's impossible for her not to have any feelings for her.
She genuinely wanted to plead for Natasha!
Furthermore, Su Quan had known about Natasha's 'betrayal' of the Red Room for several years, but he had never taken any action or mentioned it.
Has he forgotten?
Of course not!
Melina thought he was waiting for Natasha to come back and apologize, since Natasha knew that the real owner of the Red Room was Su Quan.
She wants revenge?
Can!
But once revenge is taken, shouldn't one return to apologize?!
On the other hand, Melina felt that Natasha held a special place in his heart, far surpassing her and Yelena's.
Having seen Natasha's future, Melina felt it was normal for Su Quan to be interested in her.
That's why she didn't want Natasha to continue being so stubborn.
Although Melina pleaded sincerely for Natasha, Su Quan did not want to say anything more about the matter.
Su Quan had only one comment regarding Natasha's actions.
I can understand it, but I can't accept it.
We must ask her face-to-face to find out the reason before deciding how to punish her!
Seeing that Su Quan had not expressed his opinion, Melina did not want to say anything more and could only give up pleading for him, lest she make things worse.
As the sun sets, night slowly unfolds under the glow of neon lights.
Stark Tower.
The elevator stopped at a certain floor with a ding.
As the elevator doors opened, a burst of upbeat and noisy music began to play.
In the hall not far away, beautiful voices danced freely in the Red Wine and bustling environment.
At first glance, apart from Tony Stark, the main character, the only other male on the entire floor Happy.
Good heavens!
I exclaimed, "Wow!"
I'm good at it, and you're just as good!
Su Quan smiled slightly and handed a small metal flower to Pepper Potts, who was waiting for him at the elevator entrance.
He made this casually when he arrived.
"This is for you!"
Pepper Potts covered her mouth in surprise, completely unexpected that Su Quan would bring her a gift when he came to the appointment.
This metal flower looks incredibly lifelike and realistic.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Pepper Potts took the flowers and bent down to put them in her pocket.
"Very beautiful!"
As soon as Su Quan finished speaking, the loud and boisterous music abruptly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Tony Stark, surrounded by a group of beautiful women, pointed a microphone in this direction.
"Look who this is?"
"Ladies, does anyone know who he is? There's a prize for the correct answer!"
Everyone looked at Su Quan with curiosity, whispering and speculating among themselves.
Compared to Tony Stark, who is a household name, Su Quan is much more low-key.
Many people know about Nato Tong, but they definitely don't know who the boss of Nato Tong is or what he looks like.
"Nobody knows who he is? Well then, let me introduce him to you."
"He is my savior, Su Quan, the boss of Nato Tong!"
Tony Stark gave a passionate and loud introduction.
When the girls heard that he was the owner of Nato Tong, their eyes lit up.
Nato Tong is incredibly popular right now. Whether it's his fame, income, or Su Quan's good looks, he has suddenly become a thorn in everyone's side!
Seeing their reaction, Tony Stark feigned displeasure and shouted, "Alright, ladies, he's mine now, but in a moment, he'll be yours."
As he spoke, Tony Stark casually handed the topic to his side and greeted Su Quan, who was walking over, with a smile.
"How about it? This is a party I threw especially for you. You can choose whatever you like, as long as you can handle it."
"The atmosphere is nice, and the girls are all quite pretty, but I won't steal your thunder."
"One person is enough!"
Su Quan smiled and patted Pepper Potts on the back, then casually put his arm around her waist.
Pepper Potts was stunned, but when Tony Stark looked over, she didn't try to avoid him.
In fact, there's nothing to avoid.
As Tony Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts and he had only a working relationship.
At least, for now.
She was curious about Su Quan's feelings, especially since Su Quan made no attempt to hide his intentions. Putting aside their work relationship, she was indeed more willing to interact with Su Quan.
Although from their limited meetings, she could tell that Su Quan was probably the same kind of person as Tony Stark.
However, Su Quan's mystery and the subtle gestures he makes when interacting with others make it easier to gain favor.
For example, the flower just now made Pepper Potts feel respected and pleasantly surprised.
On the other hand, as Tony Stark's personal assistant, she did a lot of work to deal with his 'garbage'.
She knew perfectly well that Tony Stark probably didn't even remember their names.
Respect?
It doesn't exist!
From the perspective of a personal assistant, she naturally has no right to judge her boss's private life.
However, from a woman's perspective, she will naturally be attracted to men who respect women.
Regardless of whether Su Quan's "respect" is a tactic or not, and regardless of whether his purpose is legitimate or not, at the very least, it makes the person involved feel respected and happy, right?
Even if it's fake, it's better than not even bothering to pretend, right?
What, am I not even worth you pretending?
Tony Stark shrugged noncommittally and asked directly, "The group that kidnapped me was from the Ten Rings Gang. Are you connected to the Ten Rings Gang?"
"I killed both the leader and the young leader of the Ten Rings Gang."
"..."
Good grief, I'm direct, but you're even more direct than me!
Is this something that can be said in public?
Tony Stark rolled his eyes. "You know what I'm asking."
Su Quan said with a half-smile, "You suspect that I ordered the Ten Rings Gang to kidnap you?"
Tony Stark said, "You got over a hundred million dollars, and your Nato Tong became famous and booming."
Based on the principle that whoever benefits the most is the most suspicious, Tony Stark has reason to suspect that Su Quan orchestrated the whole thing!
Su Quan shook his head, held up his finger, and said with a smile, "First, I'm richer than you. That hundred million US dollars is just a normal fee that should be charged."
"Secondly, I didn't expect to make money from Nato Tong. With Nato Tong's business capabilities, even without this incident, it would still become famous and its business would be booming."
"Instead of kidnapping you and using you for publicity, I might as well kidnap a general or president. Although they may not be as famous as you in the eyes of the public, they are more professional!"
"Finally, I have something to tell you that needs to be kept secret for now. You know Captain America, right? S.H.I.E.L.D.. asked me to send him a package today."
Tony Stark looked on in disbelief. "Captain America has been dead for a long time, hasn't he? You can't just send packages to Deadman, can you?"
"If the person is dead, we naturally won't take the order."
"You mean, he's not dead?"
