American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 31 Ina's Mission

Time passes day by day.

What is surprising is that Tony Stark, who used to log into various newspapers every day, has become unusually quiet since his return.In the past, people could be seen blocked in major social places, but now they can't see and can't be blocked.Even though these social places are still full of beauties and are still high-end hunting grounds for playboys, Tony Stark seems to have lost interest.

This made many reporters who had previously relied on Tony Stark to eat a little bit disappointed.

No one could be interviewed, some journalists from small newspapers, under pressure from their editor-in-chief to ask for Stark's news release, simply started to show their talents. Talking about how to miss Stark, another shameful thing is to find a psychiatrist and analyze in depth the psychological trauma that Stark may be experiencing now.

So even though Tony Stark hadn't shown up for a long time, after the first few days of silence, he appeared on the pages of many newspapers again.

There is no way, the public likes to watch reports on the fall of geniuses, or the psychological problems of the rich, and so on.Especially Tony Stark, like Stark Industries, is on the cusp recently.In the words of media people, the popularity is hot, and casual writing is attention.

As Tony Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts, when he attended a social reception instead, he hid in a corner far away.

Holding a wine glass at the front of the railing of the balcony, looking into the distance unconsciously, Pepper Potts seemed a little preoccupied.As the person who gets along day and night and knows Tony Stark best, she now feels that Tony has become a lot stranger.When she routinely arranged for him a reception or even a beautiful model who echoed Tony's aesthetic preferences, she was actually vetoed by Tony.

God knows how surprised Pepper Potts was by Tony Stark's veto!Just like how Tony has changed these days.She found that the person who used to act recklessly had a lot more worries now, and became restrained, quiet, and even calmed down a little bit.The change both comforted and horrified Pepper Potts.

Glad that Tony has finally grown up.

Panicking at this growth made her perception of Tony strange.

What's even more frightening is that she saw the bullet marks on Tony Stark's steel suit!The moment she saw that picture, the suppressed panic in her heart almost instantly swept through her whole body.

"Here alone?"

A somewhat strange yet familiar female voice interrupted Pepper Potts's diverging thoughts.Pepper Potts, who was disturbed, frowned and turned to look at the owner of the voice.When she saw who it was, a look of surprise crossed her face.

"Ms. Sandra?"

"I hope I didn't disturb you." Ina Sandra walked to Pepper Potts with a smile, and stood with her on the railing of the balcony, smiling.

"Of course not. I'm afraid there are countless people who want to talk to you at this party." Pepper Potts was a little confused about Ina Sandra's intentions, but this did not prevent her from releasing a certain amount of enthusiasm for the other party's initiative to strike up a conversation. bona fide.After all, if we talk about the influential people in recent years, apart from her wayward boss, the lady in front of me and Luke Field, who founded Hyperion Technology with her, are also among them.

Compared to Justin Hammer, whom Tony has always looked down upon, Tony has nothing bad to say about Luke Field, the soul of Hyperion Technology.Based on Pepper Potts' understanding of Tony, it is already very rare to be able to retreat under his poisonous tongue without any bad words.Perhaps, this is a technical recognition?
"Are you referring to those people?" Ina Sandra smiled sarcastically, and pointed to the reception parties filled with circles below.The outer circle wants to get close to the inner circle, and the inner circle is desperately trying to squeeze into the core circle.And the one who can be called the core at this reception is undoubtedly the man who is talking loudly, the current head of Stark Industries-Obadiah Stanislav.Everyone is around him, without a certain status and identity, and even the periphery of the inner circle has no place to stand.

If Ina Sandra goes down, of course she can easily pull up an inner circle that belongs to her, and even easily join the circle of Obadiah Stanislavia. In that circle, she will also Is as much touted as Obadiah Stane at the core.But what is the need?

A person who is about to pass the time.

"Is Tony Stark okay?" Ina Sandra didn't wait for Pepper's answer, she looked back at Pepper and asked.

"Of course he's fine." Pepper instinctively put a skilled smirk on his face, and replied very familiarly.After Tony Stark returned safely, she had heard this question too many times. Those reporters couldn't find Tony, so they often asked her who needed to show her face outside.She is now having a stressful reaction to being asked this question.

"It has nothing to do with me, I'm asking for Luke." Seeing the smirk on Pepper's face, Ina was keenly aware of her momentary alienation and vigilance, and added an explanation indifferently.

"Luke? Luke Field?" Pepper realized that her attitude was too vigilant, and she was also a little curious about the people who could safely pass through Tony's poisonous tongue.

"It's him. He paid close attention to Tony Stark. He investigated for a while when he disappeared, but unfortunately he couldn't help much." Ina Sandra lied without blinking her eyes. Luke immerses himself in his laboratory, digesting his gains after retreat, and adding bricks and tiles to the technical background of Hyperion Technology.

Vanishing Tony Stark?

Sorry, Ina said in her heart that she never heard Luke have a concern or anything else.

"Thank you very much." Pepper thanked him out of nowhere.

"You're welcome. Although I couldn't find anything at the time, I still gained something. This is a piece of information. You can take it back and show it to Tony Stark. Maybe he can find something from it. Remember , can only be shown to Tony, and only you and him will know." Ina Sandra secretly stuffed a USB flash drive into Pepper's free left hand, and the wine glass touched the wine glass on Pepper's right hand After a moment, he turned and left.

Her mission of coming here specially today has been completed.
