Heavyweight News!
Sure enough, four burly men, fresh out of the lab, were each occupying a sofa, some lounging, some sitting, eating pizza and watching TV in a completely unrefined manner, while Pepper Potts, the new president of Stark Industries, was still at the company and hadn't returned yet.
Chen Mo occupied a large single sofa all by himself, comfortably leaning back in the soft sofa back, his elbows resting on the sofa armrests. He was eating a large slice of delicious pizza covered with cheese and roasted meat in one hand, and holding a can of ice-cold cola in the other hand, taking sips from time to time, with a look of contentment and satisfaction on his face.
The others were in similar situations. Tony Stark simply collapsed onto the sofa, eating pizza and sighing.
"Comfortable!"
"Ah, if only Pepper were here!"
These individuals are either top-tier billionaires, secret organization leaders, heirs to powerful gangs, or top scientists, yet they are so easily satisfied with a pizza, which speaks volumes about how poor their usual diet is. The mountain of instant noodles piled up in the corner of the laboratory says it all.
Pepper Potts used to manage Tony Stark's life perfectly as his personal assistant. When Chen Mo and Dr. Ethan were here developing the Mark II with Tony, their living conditions were much better than they are now.
It's a pity that Pepper has now transformed into a powerful career woman and Prado female CEO. She seems to be doing quite well, but it's been tough on the rest of them.
Hearing Tony's exclamation, Chen Mo rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
He works tirelessly, neglecting everything else, but now he only thinks about her while eating. At this rate, when will he ever win the heart of his beloved? However, Chen Mo has already played matchmaker once before. He put in a lot of effort for Steve and Carter back then, and the result was wonderful. The two who had tragically missed each other finally got together and even had a daughter, completely rewriting the tragic history.
However, Chen Mo has no intention of doing it again now. Anyway, they are not like Steve and his partner. If Chen Mo doesn't interfere, they will probably get together sooner or later. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them be.
Tony Stark was puzzled by Chen Mo's eye roll. Seeing that Chen Mo didn't say anything, he didn't take it to heart and took a big bite of the pizza in his hand.
Just then, the electric door to the living room was suddenly opened, and Pepper Potts, dressed in a sharp white business suit, walked in carrying a briefcase.
Seeing the state of the four men in the living room, especially Tony Stark's messy hair and unshaven beard, Pepper rolled her eyes helplessly. Without her care, these men would practically be refugees.
Pepper walked quickly to the sofa, glanced at the nearly empty pizza box on the coffee table, and said irritably.
"Is this all you eat every day?"
When she usually comes back, they are all still busy in the lab. In addition, she has been focusing all her energy on the company lately, so she has no idea what they eat every day.
Under Pepper's glare, Tony Stark chewed twice more before forcefully swallowing the food in his mouth.
"Of course not, we're having a nice meal today! Would you like some?"
As Tony Stark spoke, he pointed to the remaining slice of pizza in the box, causing Wang Jin had just finished his pizza and was about to reach for it, to involuntarily withdraw his hand.
Pepper looked at Tony Stark's sincere face and was at a loss for words. Did she owe him something in her past life? She was busy to death every day, helping him manage the company, and then she still had to worry about his life when she got home. Was she raising a son?
Looking at the other three people on the sofa who looked almost identical, Pepper couldn't help but add in her mind, no, they were four sons!
Just as "hot mom" Pepper was looking at the four of them with a headache, the screen on the living room TV suddenly changed, switching to what looked like a news live broadcast studio.
"Dear viewers, we now have an important news interruption!"
The blonde female host in the live broadcast room spoke with a somewhat impassioned voice.
Chen Mo and the others in the living room were also drawn to the sudden interruption of the sound and looked at the television screen.
"Just now, a major news event that shocked the world has occurred!"
"Dramatic changes are taking place in Africa countries!"
"Just over ten days ago, shortly after the start of the African Joint Rescue Operation involving various Africa countries, the Führer 61 Africa countries held an Africa summit in the capital of the Kingdom of Wakanda and finally announced the establishment of the African Unification Alliance."
"The purpose of the African Unification Alliance is to promote the unity, solidarity and development of Africa countries, strengthen cooperation among Africa countries in politics, diplomacy, economy, culture and military affairs, safeguard the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Africa countries, eradicate war and poverty in Africa, and promote international cooperation."
"And the Kingdom of Wakanda, which has always been seen as a poor and backward small Africa country in the eyes of the world, has also shown its true strength to the world!"
"This small country in northeastern Africa has a level of technology that is no less than that of major world powers and developed countries. The rescue teams they sent quickly to various parts of Africa, delivered a large amount of relief supplies to the refugees in a timely manner, and miraculously drilled deep wells in the arid Africa land, solving the water problem that had the greatest impact on the refugees in a short period of time."
As the female host narrated, the television screen shifted to a barren, arid Africa savanna, where a massive four-engine aircraft was slowly landing, carrying a steady stream of food, fresh water, medicine, tents, and other supplies. The scene then shifted again, showing a huge drilling machine roaring to life. Soon, streams of shimmering fresh water flowed from the parched, cracked earth, accompanied by excited cheers from countless people.
This news had actually been reported before. Tony Stark and others were happy for the people of Africa, but they didn't feel much, because Wakanda hadn't revealed its most advanced technology. What they had shown so far were just large transport aircraft and deep drilling equipment, which, even if they were a little higher than the world's most advanced level, were not much more advanced.
The truly core advanced technologies, such as stealth and sonic technology, were not revealed to the outside world. The large number of spies and agents who suddenly wanted to enter Wakanda were all kept out, and Wakanda's true strength was not fully exposed.
Tony, Pepper, and the others in the living room watched the television screen with curiosity, eager to know what the anchor was talking about—the earth-shattering news and the dramatic changes in Africa countries.
First, let me explain the issue with the suit numbering. The previous chapters were incorrect; the content has been corrected, but the chapter titles cannot be changed. The Mark I, created in the cave, was used to fight the Iron Monger after their return. The one that can transform now is the Mark III Mark II, modeled after the Mark VII from the Avengers, with enhancements in weapons and power.
Also, I've been very busy with work lately, and I've been putting off updating twice a day as promised. I'll update twice tomorrow, and I'll also be updating irregularly from now on. I'll try to officially leave the one-update club next month!
I don't post chapter comments often to avoid affecting everyone's reading experience, but I'll say a few more words today. Thank you for your support, readers who like this book. This is my first time writing a book, and there are many shortcomings, but I'm trying my best to write it well. Although the updates are not frequent, I will never stop updating or abandon the book. No matter what, I will definitely finish this book!
