Chapter 497

Since returning from the terrorist attack, this was the first time Tony had ever seen Pepper's eyes so red and swollen.

And she saw him when he was taking off his Iron Man suit earlier that day.

When the other side saw the bullet holes in his Iron Man suit, their first reaction was worry and tension.

Tony saw Pepper and then spoke.

"Uh... I just went for a drive. You know, the kind of person I am, my brain needs inspiration."

"Yeah..."

Pepper narrowed her eyes slightly, then picked up her tablet and showed the screen to Tony.

Tony glanced at it and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Because the scene above was exactly when he had just met Luo Mio.

The above clearly captured the moment when he got out of the car and looked at Luo Mio.

Well, that's normal. After all, he's probably the only one in all of California with a license plate that reads "STRAK".

Pepper said in a slightly cold tone.

"Is this what you call a 'go-around'? You waited for over half an hour just to seduce some young girl?"

Upon hearing Pepper, Tony felt a headache coming on, and then said...

"No, no, no, I think you've misunderstood, Pepper."

"Huh? What did I misunderstand?"

"I'm not going to seduce anyone, and I wouldn't dare to."

"Oh? Is there anything Tony Stark wouldn't dare to do? You are..."

Seeing that Pepper was a little excited, Tony could only raise his voice slightly.

"Wait, wait, calm down, Pepper, can you let me finish?"

Hearing Tony's words trying to calm her down, Pepper could only slowly calm down as well.

Seeing that Pepper had calmed down, Tony had no choice but to speak.

"I went to see that child today just to have a talk with him."

Pepper looked utterly confused upon hearing Tony's words.

"Child?"

Tony shrugged and said.

"They're still minors, do you want your boss to go to jail?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Pepper's mouth dropped open slightly, and she looked at Luo Mio's attire on the screen.

Tony glanced at Pepper and then showed her the information about Luo Mio.

Pepper took a look at the documents and immediately believed Tony's words.

Although Tony is a complete playboy who often brings women home and expects them to take care of him every morning, Tony is still a man of principle, especially after this terrorist attack, which has made certain convictions in his heart even more apparent.

But then Pepper was very confused and looked at Tony to ask.

What do you want to talk to this child about?

She genuinely couldn't understand why Tony was talking to an underage girl.

Pepper's question silenced Tony, but then Tony looked at Pepper with a serious expression and spoke.

"I can tell you, and I can show you, but you can't tell anyone else."

Seeing Tony's gaze, Pepper's expression also tightened slightly before she nodded.

After following Tony to the basement, Tony told Pepper everything that had happened that day.

After hearing everything Tony said, Pepper was completely dumbfounded and couldn't quite believe it.

Seeing that Pepper didn't believe him, Tony showed Pepper the pictures.

After reading it, Pepper also looked somewhat incredulous and shocked.

Because just when Luo Mio was flying in the sky, her worldview had already begun to crumble.

"So you're looking for her because of that... armor she's wearing?"

"Yes and no."

As he spoke, Tony turned on the other computer screen.

"Jarvis, turn on the communication channel that girl gave us today."

"Yes, sir."

After opening the communication channel, a line of letters appears.

Please enter your password.

When Tony returned home during the day, he tried to access the communication channel that Luo Mio had given him again.

But unlike the first time, this time Tony took the initiative to enter.

Tony took a sip of the coffee Pepper had made and began to speak.

"2887".

"Yes."

——

Luo Mio, who had just finished showering, was drying her hair.

I had just finished wiping myself down and was putting on my pajamas.

Just then, Ai-chan suddenly lit up her computer screen and peeked out from it, saying something.

"Boss, Tony Stark has entered the correct password to access the communication channel. Should we allow him to join?"

Luo Mio said it in a calm tone.

"Agree."

Then, five large characters lit up in a corner of the communication channel in the Space Window.

Tony Stark.

Luo Mio yawned and said lazily.

"What can I do for you so late at night, Mr. Tony Stark?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, Tony's eyes flickered slightly, and his lips pursed.

"Looks like I came in at the wrong time."

Luo Mio glanced at the time and then said.

"Neither too late nor too early."

Just then, a very pleasant female voice suddenly came through Tony's communication.

"Thank you so much for today, Miss Bianca."

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Mio was slightly taken aback.

But then we found out who the voice belonged to.

Tony Stark's assistant and future wife.

Pepper Potts.

Luo Mio smiled softly.

"No, it was just helping Mr. Stark out of the ordinary, Miss Potts."

"But thank you very much anyway."

Luo Mio smiled slightly when she heard Pepper's words of thanks.

He knew why Pepper Potts had thanked him so earnestly.

For Pepper Potts, Tony Stark was everything. If Tony had died in the previous terrorist attack, Pepper Potts would probably have collapsed on the spot.

Then Tony Stark spoke up.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it time for us to have our own conversation, miss?"

Luo Mio yawned as if she was very sleepy, and then said.

"Since you already know the password for this channel, there's plenty of time to talk about any questions later, isn't there?"

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Tony glanced at the time again.

23:49

All right.

For some adults, this time of day is when their nightlife is just beginning.

For some minors in this age group, however, it is a painful time for sleeping... or doing homework and doing practice problems.

Tony could only say helplessly.

"Okay, hopefully next time we can have a proper chat."

After hanging up, Tony stared at the communication channel, lost in thought.

Seeing Tony's expression, Pepper asked in confusion.

"What's wrong, Tony?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

As he spoke, Tony's gaze fell upon Luo Mio's file.

The section for guardians...

Chapter Seven: Pepper Potts' Cry for Help

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

In the morning, Luo Mio was exercising in a park not far from her apartment.

Perhaps it's because the Character Carrier is different this time.

Unlike Luo Mio's previous roles like 'Fu Hua' and 'Karen Kasalana', the Character Carrier 'Durandal' this time is different.

Every person, in any field, has an invisible 'ceiling' or 'bottleneck' that they cannot surpass, no matter how hard they try.

Just like the Character Carrier that Luo Mio previously played.

No matter how much the 'Finality' increases the upper limit of the Character Carrier, it doesn't matter.

But they always stop before the 'Herrscher'.

However, Luo Mio could clearly sense...

This 'Character Carrier' is different, although the power amplification of 'The Finality' will stop this Character Carrier before 'Herrscher'.

However, as long as you work hard in the area where Luo Mio fights, you can keep growing!

And this doesn't even include the world power within Luo Mio's current 'Character Carrier' body!

"Hey, hey, hey, look."

Some pedestrians who were also exercising looked at Luo Mio with great surprise.

"Really? That kid has already run fifty laps."

"Even if each lap is one kilometer, she has already covered fifty kilometers, and this lap is more than one kilometer."

"Most importantly, I never saw her slow down from the very first lap."

"I can't believe it..."

After a while, Luo Mio slowly stopped, walked to the tree, and took out the towel she had put in her bag.
