Chapter 675： Christmas party

Stark Industries Building.

Happy was promoted from Tony's personal bodyguard to the head of security at Stark Industries.

At this moment, Harpy was walking in the company, and reminded every employee: "Brand."

"Breast badge."

Whenever he sees a person without a badge, Happy will tell the other person specifically and ask him to wear it.

Seeing Pepper Potts coming to work, Happy went up to make his own suggestion.

"Pepper Potts, Tony's got a bunch of gear in his basement, and they're all wearing party hats."

"It's an asset we can tap into."

"You're suggesting I replace all cleaners with robots," Pepper Potts said as the document was signed.

"I mean, in human resources, people are the weakest link."

"We should replace them immediately and use those reliable robots."

Pepper Potts said in surprise, "What?"

Seeing that Happy was still reminding the employees to put on their badges, Pepper Potts interrupted:

"Happy, I'm glad you're the head of security now, it's a perfect position for you."

"but…"

Before Pepper Potts could finish, Happy replied with a smile, "Thank you, I appreciate it."

"My employee complaint rate has tripled since you took over."

"You don't have to thank me."

Hearing Happy's answer, Pepper Potts laughed angrily.

"This is not Gong Wei."

Happy said with a smile on his face, "Thanks, that's a compliment."

"It's clear that someone is trying to hide something."

At this moment, Pepper Potts' assistant came over and said, "Sorry, excuse me."

"Ms. Pepper, your four o'clock appointment has arrived."

"thanks!"

Then Pepper Potts looked at Happy and said, "Happy, we'll talk about it later, but now I have something tricky to deal with."

"What's up?"

"I've worked with him before, and he's always trying to ask me out," said Pepper Potts, pushing open the door of the drawing room.

"A little embarrassing."

"I don't like that either," Happy said.

As the door was pushed open, Pepper Potts stared blankly at the person in front of him.

This healthy, well-dressed and mature man was completely different from the man she remembered.

"Pepper!"

Pepper Potts said in surprise, "Killian?"

Killian smiled and said, "You're looking good, you look great."

Pepper Potts exclaimed, "My God, you look so good."

In her memory, Killian was a bit unkempt, limping and needing a cane, obviously looking like a Frankenstein, but now...

"me····"

Pepper Potts was a little speechless in surprise, and then said, "What have you been up to lately?"

And Happy, who was behind him, looked at Killian with his eyes.

Killian opened his hands and said, "Nothing special."

"Five years as a physical therapist, please call me Aldridge."

Happy on the side said, "You should wear a security badge."

Hearing Happy's words, Pepper Potts felt a little helpless, then turned around and said, "Happy is fine, just avoid it for a while."

"you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll wait outside."

Seeing Happy go out, Pepper Potts walked towards the sofa area of ​​the reception room and said, "Nice to meet you, Killian."

In the reception room, Killian introduced his team's new invention to Pepper Potts, showing his brain and the application of this technology to improve bioelectric energy and recombine DNA

Wait for the prospect.

However, through Killian, Pepper Potts said: "Unfortunately, it sounds to me that this technology is very inclined to be weaponized."

"Such as remodeling warriors and private armies, and Tony..."

Killian heard Pepper Potts' words and interrupted, "It's Tony again, Tony."

"do you know?"

"I asked Tony to join AIM thirteen years ago, and he turned me down."

"But I can see that now there's a new generation of genius on the throne who doesn't need to be tied down by Tony anymore, and she's less egotistical."

Yet Pepper Potts still refused:

"I'd still say no, Aldridge."

"Though I'd love to help you."

When the two were talking, Harpy outside was very dissatisfied with Killian's assistant's behavior. The other party didn't wear a badge, and he sat on the sofa carelessly, not polite at all.

Coinciding with Tony's call, Happy told Tony that Killian had come to meet Pepper Potts.

And told Tony that Pepper Potts is his most precious wealth, if he doesn't cherish it, he will be pried away by Killian.

And complain to Tony that he misses the old Tony, instead of hanging out with superheroes without his Tony.

…

On the other hand, Pepper Potts rejected Killian's investment invitation, and then gifted him away from Stark Industries.

After Pepper Potts was busy with work, he drove back to Tony's seaside villa.

As soon as the car stopped at the door, Pepper Potts, who got out of the car, saw a huge doll rabbit standing in the yard at the door.

A full three-meter-tall rabbit with the words Merry Christmas - Pepper.

Looking at this gift, Pepper Potts sighed a little helplessly.

Walking into the villa, Pepper Potts saw the man wearing the Mark armor sitting on the sofa, and asked in surprise, "What is that?"

"You're in the house now, are you wearing this?"

"What generation is this, Mark Fifteen?"

Tony glanced at the MK42 on his arm, but said "oh yeah."

He didn't tell Pepper Potts that this was the 42nd generation armor.

"Probably, everyone has hobbies."

Sitting on the couch, Pepper Potts took off her heels and said, "So you're wearing your hobby in the living room?"

"Just trying it on, it feels a little tight..."

Mark 42 walked up behind Pepper Potts and asked, "Hey, did you see your Christmas present?"

"Yes, I saw it..."

"How could I not have noticed that Christmas present, would that thing get in the door?"

Tony also said awkwardly, "Actually, this is a problem."

"I'm going to get some guys tomorrow and blow that wall down so we can get in."

Pepper Potts laughed, "Okay."

Mark 42, under Tony's control, gave Pepper Potts a massage and said:

"Shoulders are a little stiff, naughty boy."

"I don't want to sound too rambling, but do you like that custom bunny?"

"Do I like it or not?"

"Just make sure, okay?"

Pepper Potts turns around "Wow, that's a creative idea. "

Then hugged Mark 42 and said, "Why don't you take off that mask and give me a kiss?"

"Um…"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Okay, hell, it won't open."

"Would you like to just kiss here, in the gap between the faces?"

Pepper Potts stroked the chest armor of the Mark 42 and said, "Maybe I should run to the garage, get a crowbar, and pry that thing off?"

"Crowbar, all right."

After speaking, Pepper Potts walked towards the basement.

Tony immediately spoke to dissuade, "It's just that there is a radiation leak over there."

Pepper Potts skipped down and said, "I'll take my chances."

Tony continued to dissuade, "It's too risky."

And also followed behind, and said, "At least, let me get you some protective armor or something."

However, when Pepper Potts walked to the basement, he saw Tony stretching on the barbell with a brain sensor. "Caught."

Pepper Potts pushed away the dessert that Benben handed over, and said in a cold voice: "You really have endless tricks."

"Feel sorry."

Seeing that the dinner on the table had been moved, Pepper Potts asked, "Did you eat it before I came?"

"We're dating tonight..."

Tony argued, "Yes, I took a quick bite."

"I don't know if you're going home or going drinking with Aldrich Killian."

Pepper Potts said in surprise "hat?"

"hat?"

"Aldrich Killian? What are you spying on me?"

"Happy's worried," Tony said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"You're spying on me."

"I do not have."

Pepper Potts was a little annoyed, he turned and left and said, "I'm going to bed."

Tony saw Pepper Potts leave and immediately said, "No, Pepper?"

Seeing that Pepper Potts walked out without moving his head, Tony finally couldn't hold back: "Hey, I admit it, my fault, sorry."

Hearing Tony apologize, Pepper Potts also stopped, and turned to look at Tony.

"I've been like an ant on a hot pot for a while and I haven't said anything," Tony said.

"Since that time in New York, things have changed. "

Pepper Potts came down, looked at Tony and said, "Really? I didn't notice at all."

Tony said, "If someone goes through something and then it's over, you still can't explain it."

"Gods, aliens, other dimensions, worlds."

"I'm just a man in a can."

"Probably the only reason I didn't break down is because you moved in."

"Well moved, I love you, I'm lucky."

"But honey, I can't sleep."

"You go to bed and I'll come down here and do what I'm good at."

"I tinker, I..."

"The crisis is imminent, and I must protect the only thing I can't lose, and that is you."

"And my armor, they're part of me...."

Pepper Potts said, "Machine, distract you."

Tony said, "Yes."

Pepper Potts walked up to Tony, hugged him, took Tony's head into his arms, removed the sensor from his brain, and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"All right!"

Pepper Potts took two steps, then turned and said, "You come with me."

Tony nodded, "It's better this way."

…

the other side.

In the Charlotte base, a Christmas party is being held at this time.

A huge Christmas tree was erected in the middle of the base. This Christmas tree was huge in size, and it was made by Yamato using wood escape ninjutsu. The tree was covered with colorful lights and decorations, and under the Christmas tree was placed With gift boxes of items one by one.

For the festive atmosphere, Uzumaki Xin Kuna took the lead in putting on special Christmas costumes for herself, Hyuga Hinata, Shizune, Nadeko Shizuka, Yuhihong, Tiantian, Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, etc., dressed like a deer cowry

Than the same.

These were not recruited by Charlotte, but Uzumaki Kushina brought the crowd to make custom-made clothes in the New York mall, but Tsunade did not agree to Uzumaki Kushina's request to wear that suit.

Uzumaki Kushina led the crowd towards the others and asked for Christmas blessings.

Uzumaki Kushina came in front of Minato, stretched out her hand and said, "Minato, gift!"

Namikaze Minato took out a gift box, handed it to Uzumaki Kushina and said, "Here, this is your gift."

Uzumaki Kushina put the wrapped gift box directly into the package of the same style as Santa Claus that Zaijin brought, and then said to the girls behind him, "Quickly go ask Minato for a gift."

"If you miss today, you will be waiting for the next time."

Kurenai Yuhi was also polite, and said firstly, "My lord, our gift."

Namikaze Minato, a flying thunder god, disappeared and reappeared in an instant, holding a box full of gifts in his hand.

I saw a smile like a little sun on his face, and said, "They're all here, I'm here to distribute gifts to everyone."

Charlotte Doyle on the side saw this scene and looked at Tsunade: "Tsunate, why didn't you join Uzumaki Kushina's team?"

Tsunade said arrogantly, "I'm going, there's no room for Kushina, I'm the big sister in the team."

"I just don't want to compete with the juniors for the limelight."

Then he reached out to Charlotte and said, "Where is my present?"

"Don't say no!"

Charlotte laughed, "Hahaha!"

"How could it not be prepared for you?"

Charlotte took out a beautifully packaged gift box from the storage space, which contained a pink diamond necklace.

"Here, this is your gift. "

Tsunade took the gift, but didn't open it.

Instead, he untied the necklace he had been wearing from his neck. This necklace was a gift from the first generation to Tsunade.

"This is my most precious thing, a gift from my great-uncle. "

"Today I send him to you, hoping to bring you good luck."

The pendant was still smelling of body fragrance and temperature at this time, Charlotte looked at the necklace Tsunade had untied from her neck, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

The reputation of this thing is too loud, claiming that whoever leads to death.

But at this time, Tsunade sent it out for the first time, and she didn't know that in the original Naruto world, she gave her Rope Tree, Broken, and Naruto successively.

If Naruto hadn't crushed the necklace himself, he might have escaped death.

But with his own strength, there should be no problem.

"Thank you for the gift! "

Tsunade took a step forward, personally put the necklace on Charlotte Doyle, and sent a sweet kiss on the forehead.

The moment Tsunade kissed her forehead, Charlotte felt soft and cold.

And the other side.

Uzumaki Kushina finished robbing Minato, and took everyone to blackmail Ziraiya.

Jiraiya was also giving gifts to the female ninjas, and when he saw the situation on Charlotte Doyle's side, the corner of his mouth was happy. Is Tsunade's big tablet going to send himself out?

At this time, Jiraiya only has friendship with Tsunade as a companion.

At this moment Orochimaru put his arms around Jiraiya's shoulders and said:

"It seems that Tsunade has taken a brave step, which is also a good thing for us. "

Just when Jiraiya and Orochimaru were giving gifts to everyone, Nadeshiko Shizuka came to Jiraiya and said, "Master Jiraiya, you once met my master and had a competition but there was no winner. "

"You agreed to let your apprentices come for the competition, and if you lose, you agree to marry."

"Well, your apprentice Namikaze Minato is already married, how should this match be carried out?" "

Hearing Nadeko Shizuka's words, Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, I didn't know about this, it should be something in the future."

Uzumaki Kushina at the side was furious and shouted: "Ji Lai Ye..."

Seeing that Uzumaki Kushina was about to go berserk, Jiraiya also felt like saying, "Well, Naruto is also my apprentice."

"Yes, Naruto is also my apprentice."

Hearing Jiraiya say Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina's fluttering red hair fell down again, then looked at Nadeshi Shizuka, looked up and down:

"It would be nice if Shizuka was my daughter-in-law."

"It's just that Naruto is too young."

Nadeko Shizuka on the side asked doubtfully, "Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Yes, that's him."

Jiraiya pointed to Naruto Uzumaki who was holding a gift and was about to give it to Haruno Sakura.

Uzumaki Kushina yelled "Naruto!"

Hearing his mother calling him, Naruto quickly stuffed the gift into Haruno Sakura's hand, and ran over quickly.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Uzumaki Kushina pulled Naruto, then stood in front of Nadeko Shizuka, and said, "Naruto, let sister Nadeko Shizuka be your wife from now on?"

Naruto's head immediately shook like a rattle, and shouted: "No, I like Sakura-chan the most."

Haruno Sakura heard Uzumaki Naruto's words, but said, "I don't want it, I like Sasuke."

But Hinata Hinata looked at Naruto in her mother's arms, feeling a little sad.

Nadeko Shizuka looked at Naruto Uzumaki in front of her, shook her head and said, "He's still too young, I'll compete with him when he grows up."

"I just thought of Master's entrustment, which is also the tradition of our Nadeko Village."

"Although there is no Nadeko Village here, I will fulfill Master's last wish."

Jiraiya smiled at this time, "Don't worry, maybe Naruto will become a big guy soon, and it won't be too late for you to learn from each other."

"Let's talk about it when he grows up."

Jiraiya's affairs came to an end, Uzumaki Kushina took her army of women and continued to ask for gifts from a group of adult ninjas.

Ginny also came over at this time, and saw that she was wearing a very **** and hot outfit, and came to Charlotte Doyle with a gift in her hand.

"Charlotte, Merry Christmas!"

Looking at Ginny's gift, Charlotte did not refuse.

"Merry Christmas, Ginny. "

Charlotte took out a gift from the storage space and exchanged it with Ginny.

Ginny took the gift, stepped forward to give Charlotte Doyle a hug, buried Charlotte's head in her arms and rubbed it for a while.

Seeing Ginny's behavior, Tsunade stepped on the ground with one hand and one foot, and the ground shook for a while.

Obviously, Tsunade was very dissatisfied with Ginny's behavior of forcing Charlotte to eat tofu, and then puffed out his chest.

Hers was no smaller than Ginny's, and even bigger than the other's.

Ginny let go of Charlotte, and then showed a smile of stealing chicken, and stood beside Charlotte.

Soon Jiu Xinnai came over with everyone, asking for gifts.

Charlotte, Tsunade, and Ginny were also prepared and distributed the gifts to everyone.

Even Sasuke Uchiha prepared a lot for everyone.

Uchiha Obito looked at the outfits of Kushina and others, and thought in his heart, "If Lin can also wear this outfit, it must be very cute."

The entire base was full of laughter and laughter, and everyone exchanged gifts and enjoyed the joy of the festival.

…

the other side.

At this moment, Barton was sitting alone on the sofa at home, holding a photo frame in his hand, and the photo in the frame was none other than his lover, Barbara Moores.

That was Barbara Morse's last mission. After completing that mission, she would retire from S.H.I.E.L.D. and marry him under the pseudonym Laura.

But the other party is already dead, UU reading and left him forever.

After stroking Barbara in the photo with his hand, Barton picked up the phone and gave it to Ai

Di called the past, and he wanted to tell the other party where the target was.

He couldn't spend Christmas with his lover, and he wasn't going to make it easy for Eddie today.

On the other hand, Eddie is spending Christmas with his girlfriend, and the two have just come out of the restaurant to feel the festive atmosphere outside.

Suddenly the phone rang, Eddie picked up the phone, saw the other party's number, did not connect but pressed the button to refuse to connect.

He wants to accompany his girlfriend today, but he doesn't want to be disturbed tonight.

"Eddie, who's calling?"

"I don't know, it should be a sales call."
