Chapter 284

The news broadcast on TV caught Su Quan's attention. After watching for a few moments, he roughly knew what it was about.

The so-called Freedom Fighters were the Ten Rings Gang members who kidnapped Tony Stark. The weapons they used were designed by Tony Stark and came from the Stark Industries.

As expected, they will soon be eliminated by Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit, which will also provide the iconic scene of Iron Man never looking back at the explosion.

Iron Man's heroic journey begins from this moment!

"Morning."

Pepper Potts brought the coffee to Su Quan: "Your coffee!"

"Thanks."

Su Quan took it and said with a smile, "You don't need to do these things."

"It was nothing, I should thank them for not kicking me out. You know, I've helped the boss clean up a lot of trash," Pepper Potts said with a smile.

What did Su Quan say?

In essence, he's no different from Tony. What man doesn't like new things?

The biggest difference between the two is that Tony Stark is fickle and easily bored, Su Quan is fickle but not easily bored!

Su Quan sipped his coffee and pointed at the TV with his chin. "Your boss is in trouble. Do you want to quit your job and come help me?"

"He has been fired by the board of directors, Obadiah signed the papers."

Pepper Potts lamented, "He's like a child who never grew up, so immature. I've been taking care of him and cleaning up his messes all these years."

Su Quan sipped his coffee with a calm expression. He had personally verified last night that Pepper Potts and Tony Stark had a simple employer-employee relationship.

"A child? If I remember correctly, he should be thirty-nine this year, right? He'll be forty soon, a forty-year-old baby?"

Pepper Potts said coquettishly, "I think you're implying something else. Are you implying that I'm too much older than you?"

Pepper Potts isn't that old, and she's not the same age as Tony Stark...

However, judging from her appearance, she is indeed not as young as Su Quan.

Asians naturally have youthful appearances, and Su Quan gained long life force and immortality not long after transmigrating, so his appearance hardly changed.

If we're talking about age, she's actually too old to call Su Quan"Dad," she should be calling him "Grandpa"!

"Whether you mind or not, you should have known very well last night," Su Quan teased Daquan.

Pepper Potts blushed slightly and returned to the original topic.

"No matter what, Tony Stark treated me well. He was just fired by the board, and I resigned. What will others think of me?"

"Over the years, I have always adhered to the duties and boundaries of an assistant, because I don't want people to think that I am the kind of woman with ulterior motives."

"Even if he resigns, he has to find a new personal assistant first."

After a pause, Pepper Potts gave Su Quan a bright smile, "You also need time to calmly consider this."

Su Quan asked with a smile, "What are you considering?"

Pepper Potts smiled and said, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder. It might not be a good thing for me to work for you."

Su Quan chuckled, "You are quite mature and calm. My invitation to you is not just a perfunctory gesture, or a favor to get rid of you."

"It might sound a bit mean to say this, but honestly, I value your abilities more!"

You mean my work ability is more attractive to you than my looks?

You flirted with me and invited me out, not because of my looks, temperament, or inner qualities that attracted you, but because of my work ability?

If it were someone else, they might actually get angry.

But Pepper Potts was quite the opposite.

Having worked as Tony Stark's assistant for so many years, she had seen many young and beautiful women and knew very well what kind of recognition she wanted.

It's not about looks, it's not about how pretty she is.

It's about ability!

A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but outstanding ability is one in a million!

So what if you're good-looking? You can be replaced by someone even better-looking at any time.

But ability won't!

Su Quan values her abilities more than her appearance; this makes her happier than being praised for being pretty.

"I'm glad you said that. I will seriously consider your invitation!"

Pepper Potts smiled sweetly, put her arms around Su Quan, and gently kissed him.

After parting ways, she felt a little reluctant. "I have to go to work."

Su Quan smiled and made a phone call gesture.

Pepper Potts left, glancing back every few steps.

It's clear she's a bit carried away.

Su Quan sipped his coffee, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the news still playing on TV, and used his Psychic Abilities to pinpoint Tony Stark's location.

"Huh! That movement speed... Is he heading to Grammy Town to become a hero?"

Su Quan raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of interest appearing on his face.

Tony Stark is currently wearing the Mark III suit, which is the third armored suit he created and the first one to be painted.

The first two sets are Iron Can armor made of rough materials when he was kidnapped, which can be considered the 'prototype' of the Iron Monger, and the predecessor of the Mark 3, the 'prototype' of the War Machine.

In terms of functionality and power, the Mark 3 is definitely inferior to the later Mark L, which is the Nanotech suit.

However, the Mark 3 has high collectible value. After all, it was Iron Man's first official suit of armor, and it certainly deserves a place in his new storage room.

This is quite a spectacle, worth watching!

Grammy Town.

Amidst the sounds of artillery fire and gunfire, terrorists who had renamed themselves "Freedom Fighters" were brutally and bloodily capturing and killing refugees.

Bloodshed, chaos, this place is like a living hell!

A deafening roar came from the sky as Iron Man, in his red and gold attire, landed with a thud in a classic hero landing pose!

Dust flew everywhere.

Whether they were terrorists or refugees, they were all terrified by this Iron Man who fell from the sky.

"Da da da—a terrorist opened fire."

The bullet was deflected by the Iron Man suit, and Iron Man punched him into the air, where he fell into the ruins of a nearby building.

"Bang!"

He turned around, raised his hand, and blasted another terrorist to death with Palm Cannon.

The terrorists finally realized what was happening and opened fire on him!

Da da da—da da da—

Gunfire was deafening, and bullets flew everywhere.

Iron Man, braving the bullets, easily eliminated the terrorists who attacked him.

A series of screams and shouts erupted. Iron Man turned around and saw several terrorists holding hostages at gunpoint, screaming in terror in a language he couldn't understand.

He doesn't care whether he understands it or not!

"J.A.R.V.I.S.!"

Tony Stark saw J.A.R.V.I.S.'s markings that distinguished terrorists from civilians.

Weapon system activated.

Simultaneously locks onto multiple targets, raises six-barreled mini cannons from both shoulders, and automatically aims.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The terrorist fell to the ground instantly, while the hostage was unharmed!

Iron Man walked towards a nearby building amidst the embrace of a father and son, punched through the wall, reached in and pulled out the terrorist leader hiding inside, throwing him to the refugees.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the refugees, it slowly ascended into the air.

"Do whatever you want with me!"

Iron Man turned and flew away, heading towards the terrorist base.

There were terrorist weapons there, especially the Jericho Missile he developed.

These must be destroyed!

"Bang!"

Iron Man had already flown to the base, was hit head-on by a shell from a tank on the ground and crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

"Did it work...?"

Before the terrorists inside the Kree could even observe, they saw Iron Man crawl out of the crater.
