"Parker, is it really impossible to bring Tony back?"

Pepper looked exhausted and aged several years. Although Tony had always given her plenty of trouble, this time, the mess he had made was just too big.

"Of course not, Miss Potts."

Ben shook his head, his gaze passing over Pepper, who was sitting on the other side of the conference room, and landing on a television set belonging to Primus.

In the footage, Tony Stark is covered in dirt and even blood, appearing to be near death.

"You don't know how serious the mistake Tony made this time, do you?" Ben looked away and asked softly.

A helpless expression appeared on Pepper's face.

Of course she knew.

With Ultron defeated by Ben, the H.A.M.M.E.R., under Norman's control, slowly regained control, and world order began to stabilize.

However, the trouble Tony caused was not so easy to resolve.

To be honest, Ultron's goal was to destroy the entire world, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to put a label on Tony Stark that he wanted to destroy all of humanity.

Fortunately, Ultron hadn't had a chance to implement his plan yet, and within America's borders, he was only indiscriminately arresting potential "criminals."

Many innocent people who had not committed any crime, or even had no criminal intent, were arrested indiscriminately. However, after a retrial by the H.A.M.M.E.R., most of them have been released.

There was a great deal of resentment towards Tony Stark among the public. Not to mention the innocent people who were wrongly arrested, even those who were actually preparing to commit crimes could not honestly confess and also pointed the finger at Tony. A wave of condemnation against Stark swept across the United States.

Stark Industries ' stock price is at an all-time low.

However, these matters are relatively easy to resolve. Most of those arrested were not seriously injured. It simply requires spending some money to quell public anger. As for the protests and insults, they can be ignored.

The real trouble lies with America's leadership and Wakanda.

The former refers to Ultron's direct overthrow of the ruling class, seizing control of all their power, including the nuclear codes. Norman Osborn was one of the victims. At that time, the H.A.M.M.E.R.. was practically non-existent, and Super Hero were wanted by the Ultron.

The latter refers to the war launched by Ultron!

Whether it was Stark's doing or not, it doesn't matter to the people of Wakanda.

More importantly, their country was invaded, their resources were plundered, and their people were slaughtered... Ultron spared no expense in order to obtain a large amount of Vibranium, and a large number of robots launched an attack on Wakanda.

Although Wakanda's casualties weren't particularly high due to its powerful technology, it lost a significant amount of Vibranium.

This is the foundation of Wakanda's nation, and the Old Black Panther will not let it go so easily.

It's worth noting that Ulysses Klaue was already on their kill list after stealing only a small amount of Vibranium, T'Challa even went so far as to personally lead a cross-border manhunt.

Ultron's actions caused far more harm than Ulysses's, to the point that many tribes in Wakanda had strong opinions about the Old Black Panther's decision to open Wakanda to communication with the world.

Their friendliness did not earn them gratitude; instead, it brought disaster to the country.

During this time, both T'Chaka and T'Challa contacted America, demanding that they hand over the war criminal Tony Stark to them for disposal.

Norman could only claim that Stark had been arrested by the Galactic Plumbers and would be imprisoned on Sakaar, a claim broadcast globally, but this still failed to quell their anger.

"Miss Potts, you should know that if we bring Tony back to Earth now, the situation he'll face will likely be far more serious than it is now."

"I know Stark Industries is very wealthy, but this is beyond what money can solve," Ben shook his head. "The loss of Wakanda's Vibranium alone exceeds all of Tony's assets."

Pepper reached up and pinched her brow, pursed her lips, and looked at Ben with a resentful expression.

What kind of Vibranium was lost?

Vibranium suffered no losses!

Ultron did indeed mine a large amount of Vibranium from Wakanda, but this Vibranium was mined, not evaporated.

Don't think she didn't know; Ben actually took all that Vibranium.

But naturally, she couldn't bring herself to say something like asking Ben to return the Vibranium to Wakanda in exchange for Tony's safety.

Ben resolved the Ultron Crisis, and the Vibranium was naturally his spoils. No one could say anything about him taking it, and even Wakanda didn't utter a single word about demanding repayment from Ben.

Don't they know that Vibranium has fallen into Ben's hands?

How is that possible?

Pepper could only sigh again.

She was truly exhausted. Although she was Tony's girlfriend in name only, what was the reality?

She was practically doing both parenting, constantly cleaning up after that overgrown child, only this time Tony had gotten himself into way too much trouble.

Seeing her worried expression, Ben couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little sorry for her.

Of course, while I sympathize with him, he's not going to pay back the Vibranium!

These were his spoils of war; he had gone to great lengths to legitimately acquire so much Vibranium from Wakanda, how could he possibly return it?

Ben had already transported the excess Vibranium to Sakaar via the Particle Collider built by Doctor Otto.

The Vibranium they gave to the Galactic Plumbers was barely enough to meet their needs; Ben regretted that Ultron hadn't mined enough, so how could he possibly return it?

He cleared his throat, changing the subject:

"Keeping Tony on Sakaar is the best course of action."

"I know, but..." Pepper shook her head, turned to look at the screen, but seeing Tony Stark's miserable state on the screen, she couldn't bear to look away.

She was terrified all the time and didn't dare watch the live stream, afraid to see Tony suffer any more, afraid he wouldn't make it...

Pepper's eyes were red and filled with tears as she choked out, "... He's never suffered so much before. You know him, he can't even wash his own clothes, he's waited on hand and foot every day... and he doesn't have armor, he... he'll die..."

"I think you might be underestimating him, Miss Potts." Ben shook his head.

He agreed that Tony Stark lived a life of luxury, but that didn't mean he would die in harsh conditions.

Not to mention that Ben would never actually watch Tony die, Tony himself isn't that fragile.

It's important to remember that back in the Middle East, Tony faced far more serious threats than he does now, yet he still managed to escape unscathed, creating a miracle.

"I know you're worried about him and don't want to see him suffer, but we'd better trust him for now," Ben advised. "I can assure you, Tony won't die."

"I know..." Pepper still kept her head down, sobbing uncontrollably.

She knew perfectly well that Ben wouldn't watch Tony die, but what she wanted was for Tony to not suffer.

She felt that Ben was perfectly capable of secretly sending Tony back to Earth and then using a fake video to fool everyone, since no one would be able to tell the truth.

But she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

She opened her mouth, took several deep breaths to calm herself down, and asked with difficulty, "So... when will Tony be back?"

"When people have stopped resenting him." Ben didn't give a specific date, but he winked and offered a suggestion.

"I think Miss Potts would be better off pleading with the whole world than with me here."

"Plead with the whole world?" Pepper was taken aback, then immediately understood.

Ben certainly didn't mean for her to apologize on behalf of Stark Industries. Of course, an apology was necessary, and compensation was also required. But more importantly, he wanted to use the power of the media to publish statements favorable to Tony, such as reinforcing the idea that Tony was also a victim and had been exiled to space by Ultron, so as to gradually shift people's hatred towards Tony back to Ultron.

She wiped away her tears and immediately stood up. "I'll go right now!"

Pepper left in a hurry.

Ben shook his head. Just then, Mary Jane walked in with some documents.

"Benny, T'Challa wants to see you. He still wants you to hand Tony over to him."

Mary Jane shook her head helplessly, swayed to the conference table, and leaned her buttocks against the edge of the table.

She was more voluptuous, completely different from Felicia.

The blonde Felicia looks delicate and frail, while the white-haired Felicia exudes a wildness, and Mary Jane looks a bit plump, already giving off a mature woman vibe despite being only a teenager.

"Why is he here again?" Ben T'Challa's name.

To be honest, Ben quite liked T'Challa. Although he was Black, he didn't have the bad habits of most Black people. He was honest and generous, and a good friend. At least he was much better than Nick Fury, that black-faced and even blacker-hearted guy.

But he couldn't stand the other person coming to his place every few days!

In the past few days Ben has seen his face almost as many times as he has seen Mary Jane and Felicia combined. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ben was dating him.

"Not see!"

"Just tell them I'm no longer on Earth."

Ben quickly stood up; he didn't want to waste time arguing with T'Challa, who simply wanted to personally take Tony back to Wakanda and put him on trial.

T'Challa might spare Tony's life out of consideration for their past camaraderie, but he will undoubtedly make Tony pay a heavy price.

You can't say he was wrong; he's been kind enough.

But Ben still didn't want to see the Avengers collapse because of Ultron.

This is the best possible outcome. Tony received his due punishment, the Galactic Plumbers obtained a large amount of Vibranium, Eunice regained her life, and those who hated Stark found solace...

Only Wakanda is truly wounded can this world be achieved.

"Okay, then I'll go and turn him down." Mary Jane nodded with a smile; she also felt that the black boy was contacting Ben a bit too frequently.

She wiggled her hips and winked. "Since that's the case, we still have time..."

"Here?" Ben raised an eyebrow.

"Is that not allowed?"

"No? How could I not be able to? You're the one who's not capable! I advise you to call Felicia for help right now, or it'll be too late!"

Ben led Mary Jane directly to his waist...

A few hours later, the three of them, having made a mess of the meeting room, returned to Ben's office and lay down on the sofa.

Felicia, dressed like a docile blonde kitten, nestled in Ben's arms, rubbed against him with her little bottom, and then asked Ben and Mary Jane with a gossipy look on her face, "Don't you guys think...?"

She stopped halfway through her sentence, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Mary Jane was immediately tickled and reached out to tickle Ben across her chest. "What? Hurry up and finish! Don't you know that people who only say half of what they mean are the most annoying?"

"I just find it a bit unbelievable." Felicia shook her head, recalling the scene she witnessed a few hours earlier when she arrived in Primus after receiving Mary Jane's call for help.

Because she was in a hurry and didn't want her best friend to be completely outmatched and defeated by Ben, she transformed into Black Cat and ran all the way from the top of the building.

Then, just as she arrived in Primus, she happened to see it from a window several dozen floors above...

"Then I saw Wanda and..." Felicia began to recount, but paused here, seemingly still wondering if she was hallucinating.

But this made Mary Jane sit up abruptly, her heavy curiosity stirring violently.

Out of kindness, Ben helped her carry it.

"I saw Wanda and Eunice, pressed tightly together!"

Ben:???

Mary Jane:???

This news is truly explosive!

Even Ben was somewhat surprised.

"Really?" Mary Jane's eyes lit up, as if she had stumbled upon a bombshell. "But isn't Eunice a robot? Can she fall in love?"

The second half of Mary Jane's question was directed at Ben.

"Why not?" Ben nodded matter-of-factly. Eunice now had a biological body and the Mind Stone gave her true consciousness, making her no different from a real person, so naturally she could fall in love.

Being with Wanda was a bit unexpected for him.

Ben didn't have any particular feelings for Eunice; he was just surprised, especially since Wanda's love interest in the original series was Vision.

Vision is a man... right?

Ben stroked his chin, thinking uncertainly, a guess forming in his mind.

"Perhaps it's because of the Mind Stone?" he said. "Wanda's Chaos Magic was initially developed using the Stone's energy, and now the Stone is inside Eunice's body."

This explanation is plausible.

But Ben was thinking was, even in her fantasies, she probably wouldn't have two children, right?
