Pepper Potts finished processing the last document and planned to drive home.
She was a little tired tonight, and Tony's willfulness gave her a headache. She wanted to go home, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep.
Tomorrow, when Silver Mink's security personnel are in place, she will meet with Silver Sabrinova, the person in charge of Silver Mink.
Arrange Tony’s follow-up safety plan in detail, and explain clearly the employment costs.
"Tony, there should be no problem over there."
Pepper tried to relax herself. She knew that Tony was going to have another super party tonight and even asked the cover girl to go there.
I was working so hard, but Tony was still having fun and drinking, which made me a little angry when I thought about it.
But whoever said it was Tony Stark, she was used to it.
After returning home, Pepper took a nice bath. When she came out wrapped in a bath towel and was about to apply a facial mask to replenish herself, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
It's strange, who would call her so late.
She is not Tony and likes to talk business at night.
After shaking her head, Pepper picked up the phone.
"Um?"
"It's Tony."
Pepper smiled when she saw the caller ID.
This guy shouldn't be having sex with someone right now. Why is he calling her?
Did you know that your attitude was bad at night and you wanted to call me to comfort me?
Or, have you prepared a gift for her birthday the day after tomorrow and want to give her a little surprise?
It's probably because too much perfume was put in the bathtub just now, and the theater in Pepper's mind was racing, making her a little excited now.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Pepper answered the phone.
"Tony, it's so late..."
Pepper was stunned just after saying half a sentence.
The person in the video is not Tony, but a man in a green suit with silver hair.
This, who is this?
Where has Tony gone?
Would that playboy still be with a man late at night?
Pepper was a little confused. What happened was beyond her expectation and her mind was stuck for a moment.
"You, you are..."
The confusion soon disappeared, and Pepper remembered the wanted poster from the New York Police Department!
The man in front of me is from the Black Hand organization...
"Wallon!"
Pepper exclaimed!
"Ha ha!"
In the video, Vallon laughed and clapped his hands happily.
"You know me, right."
"I didn't expect that my reputation would be so great. I'm honored."
Wallon smiled and spoke in a leisurely manner, then turned the camera of his cell phone to focus on Tony, whose right eye was bruised.
"Ms. Pepper, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"Come and take a look."
What?
Pepper was stunned for a moment, then turned pale after seeing Tony's current situation clearly.
Tony's right eye was bruised and messy, and he was clearly being treated badly.
But this is not important. What is important is that Tony is being tied up and being forced by Valon to stand on the edge of the rooftop. There is a possibility of falling down at any time.
"Tony!"
Face-to-face with Tony through video, Pepper couldn't help biting her lower lip, her heart was beating fast, and she was trying to calm down.
She couldn't be anxious now. If she was anxious, Tony might not be able to be saved. She had to calm down. She was the only one who could save Tony now.
What is the purpose of the kidnappers? All they want is money!
As for Stark Industries, what it lacks most is money.
Thinking of this, Pepper calmed down.
"Mr. Vallon!"
"As long as you guarantee Tony's safety, no matter what conditions you have, we can negotiate."
Pepper kept a straight face and tried to put himself into negotiation mode so as to gain a more safe environment for Tony.
But Valon was not in a hurry at the moment, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Ms. Pepper, don't worry, we will discuss the conditions later."
"After all, I have a guest here that I haven't introduced yet."
Vallon walked to True's right side, stepped on the edge of the rooftop, stretched out his arm and pointed his hand at Obadiah Stane hanging in mid-air.
"This is Mr. Obadiah!"
At this time, Pepper's expression really changed.
Her previous personal phone calls to Obadiah went unanswered, and it seemed that he had already fallen into the hands of Vallon by that time.
And looking at the current situation, Obadiah was obviously pushed down. She didn't believe that Obadiah could jump off on his own.
Obadiah is hanging below now, but what if Tony is also pushed down later?
Pepper wasn't calm anymore. Obadiah could hang on, but if Tony fell down too, the scene would suffocate her just thinking about it.
…
"I'm sorry, Pepper."
If he had known this, he would rather not go to any carnival party and just stay at home.
Tony felt a little regretful at this time.
The fact that Obadiah was hanging underneath put a lot of pressure on Tony.
Wallon is a madman, and it is the most difficult to reason with a madman.
So Tony always feels like he will die here at any time!
"Hey, Tony, don't be so depressed!"
When Walon heard this, he immediately became interested.
He looked like a good old guy and put his cell phone in front of Tony.
"Quick, tell this beautiful Ms. Pepper about your heroic achievements!"
"Tell me how you bravely broke into the bandits, how you fought with me, and how you managed to get killed even though you were thousands of miles away!"
Looking at the shocked Pepper in the video, Tony showed an innocent and helpless expression on his face.
"Forehead……"
"No more words, that's it."
Tony curled his lips. He also knew that what he did before was a bit silly, but he actually went up to deliver it himself.
However, now that he has been arrested, it is useless to say anything.
"..."
Pepper said he was so angry that he was going to have a myocardial infarction.
What do you mean it's like this?
Tony, can't you be more reliable?
Although she was half angry, the most important thing for her now was to negotiate with Valon. Tony's problem could be discussed after someone rescued her.
"What conditions do you want to let Tony go?"
Pepper said to Valon seriously.
"Since it's a kidnapping, it must be for money."
After saying this, Valon turned to look at Tony with a smile on his face.
"Tony, my good friend, how much do you think your life is worth?"
"Be sure to think carefully before answering me."
"If it's too cheap, I'm sorry for your status."
Tony looked serious and stared at Valon, his attitude even more serious than ever.
"My life is priceless!"
"But if you have to measure it by value..."
Tony looked at Pepper in the video, his face expressionless.
"Remove all the gold bricks from the Stark Foundation and underground vaults."
Then Tony turned his head, stared at Vallon, and sneered.
"You can take as much as you want!"
"Take it all if you can!"
At this moment, Tony's stubbornness rose!
"Okay, have a temper!"
Vallon gave a thumbs up, he liked to be friends with such rich people.
"This is the newspaper office building of the Daily Bugle. Send the gold bricks downstairs!"
"I want them all!"
Vallon and Tony looked at each other. No matter what the outcome of tonight was, they both knew each other and they wanted to fight to the death!
