Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 88 Little Repercussions (Second Update!)

At the same time, at the entrance of Stark Tower, Pepper Potts, who had just taken office as CEO of Stark Industries for less than four days, was blocked by a group of reporters.

The flashes flickered wildly, and every reporter rushed to ask questions, like a swarm of flies buzzing non-stop.

But it is the kind of flies that must not be swatted, because this is a group of poisonous flies.

Most people experience this kind of situation, most of them are too scared to even speak.

However, Pepper is clearly not your average person.

Although Pepper was only working as a secretary or assistant before, because of Tony's profligacy and lack of focus, in fact, Pepper was often responsible for dealing with reporters.

Now it seemed to her only small occasions.

The press conference before the fair's opening ceremony is the real headache.

Originally, Pepper didn't intend to pay attention to these reporters, but he didn't expect their questions to go beyond the bottom line.

Oh, God knows if these reporters have a bottom line.

"Ms. Potts, you are now the new CEO of Stark Industries, what do you think about Kaito Kidd's declaration of war?"

"Kidd said at the end of the notice letter that what he was going to steal was the Ark. Obviously, it would not be anything other than the Ark reactor invented by Tony Stark, but why would a thief want such a nuclear reactor?"

"Reminiscent of the attacker in Monaco, the Ivan Vanke who died in prison seems to have also mastered the technology of making the Ark reactor. Do you think there will be some unknown connection between them?"

"Speaking of the mysterious death of Ivan Vanke, it seems that the whole process was very mysterious, and before his death, Tony once looked for him alone. Some people said that Ivan's death was because Stark hated Ivan for stealing the Ark reactor. technology and..."

After a reporter asked a question, Pepper immediately interrupted.

"Everyone, please be quiet first!"

In an instant, the reporters were stunned, and Pepper's face was stern, with the look of a strong woman doing business.

"What is the purpose of Kaitou Kidd, we don't know yet, meaningless speculation will not do anything, and I advise everyone, don't talk about things that have no basis. Compared with spreading rumors, pursuing the truth is more important. That's the destiny of journalists, isn't it?"

Although Pepper had a friendly smile on his face, the reporters felt a deep chill behind the smile.

This woman who has just been entrusted with important tasks by Tony is indeed not a simple person!
"If you have any questions, please wait until the reception!"

Pepper asked security to disperse the reporters and walked into Stark Tower.

"Hey, Pepper, you really should see Natalie, she is really good, although you may not like to hear it, but I have to say that she is better than you in some things!"

Pepper boarded the elevator to the top floor. This entire floor was composed of the office of the CEO of Stark Industries and Tony's private laboratory, as well as a lounge and a large area of ​​entertainment.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Tony lying on the sofa with a lazy look, complimenting Pepper on her assistant who was concentrating on making coffee.

When Tony was the CEO, Pepper was his assistant. Now that the CEO has been replaced by Pepper, she naturally needs an assistant of her own.

Natalie is her new assistant, a sexy beauty with red curly hair and a perfect resume.

Originally, Pepper didn't want to recruit such a perfect person who seemed to be fake, but Tony made a final decision and hired Natalie directly.

Because at that time, Pepper hadn't taken office yet, and then Tony let Pepper inherit his position.

"Tony, do you know that Kaitou Kidd has announced to the world at your well-prepared expo that he is going to steal your most proud invention?"

Pepper frowned, and an unknown fire ignited in his lower abdomen.

"And what about you? Now you're lying in my office with a look of indifference, pointing fingers at my personal assistant?"

"I know, Pepper, I know, isn't it the guy in the old white suit who performs tricks in front of those useless policemen!"

Tony didn't care.

"Do you really believe that a thief could steal Tony Stark's...steal Iron Man's stuff? No no no, that's impossible, no one can steal anything from me unless I give it to him .”

"Tony, sooner or later you're going to suffer because of your narcissism and ego, because it's blinding you to yourself and other people... NYPD Commissioner George Stacy will be here soon Come here, we will discuss how to protect the thing that saved your heart."

Pepper glanced at Tony and said, walked to his desk and sat down.

"Please enjoy."

At this time, Natalie also made coffee, and then she brought the coffee to the desk.

"Wow, I thought that coffee was made for me."

Seeing this scene, Tony said a little bluntly.

Natalie just glanced at him and said nothing.

"Little Pepper, I refuse to accept the assistance of the New York Police Department. Few of the police have real skills, not to mention they have been played by Kaitou Kidd for a while, so I will not let them step into my fair One step, absolutely not."

After posting a cold ass, Tony had to turn to Pepper again.

Unexpectedly, even his beloved little pepper ignored him.

At this moment, Tony felt the difference in the world.

The disheartened Tony returned to his laboratory, where he would not be disturbed by anyone.

"Jarvis, lock the door and don't let anyone in without my permission, including Pepper."

Tony walked to a corner and poured himself a large pitcher of dark green liquid.

"Ok sir."

I saw Tony pinching his nose, closing his eyes, and gulping down a large jar of unknown liquid.

"Wow, this stuff is really bad. Is there any medicine that tastes better?"

"No, sir, it's the most effective one, but it only delays your symptoms."

Tony raised his hand and put on a bracelet that detects the status of life. It originally showed that the blood toxin was 23%, but after drinking the medicine, it slowly dropped to 19%.

"The efficacy of the drug is declining, sir, sooner or later you will develop resistance to the drug, stop using the palladium element, and your health will be greatly improved."

Jarvis suggested.

"No, Jarvis, as long as I don't die and Iron Man can't die, I'm Iron Man."

Tony rejects Jarvis's proposal.

"Besides, there is still a strange thief waiting for me to deal with, I can't just stop like this."

Meanwhile, Gotham, Wayne Manor.

Bruce Wayne immediately got the news that Phantom Thief Kidd sent another notice...
