Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 68 Fire Your Secretary

Jingle bell, jingle bell...

The phone kept ringing.

Holding a pile of documents, Pepper walked quickly towards Tony's office. When she heard the phone ring, she reminded Lausanne:

"Hey, your phone is ringing."

"Ms. Pepper, that was a harassing call. The caller said he knew the real cause of Mr. Howard's death. This is crazy about money. We all know that Mr. Howard and Ms. Maria died in a car accident." Lausanne sneered. road.

Pepper frowned when she heard the words, she asked foxyly,
"Does this person make a lot of phone calls?"

"Yes, ma'am, he's been on the phone for nearly two hours, and it has seriously affected my work. I have to go to the phone company and complain to them..."

Pepper ignored Lausanne's complaints, her intuition told her that this might be an extremely important call, so she picked up the phone decisively,
"Hi, this is Tony Stark's office."

"Pepper..."

There was an eerie male voice on the other end of the phone, but Pepper caught the key,
"you know me?"

The other party immediately became silent, but the phone did not hang up.

"Sir, are you still there?" Pepper asked again.

"Tell Tony Stark that I have a video of his parents' death here. If he wants to know the truth, let him fire his damn secretary first!"

Beep beep.

The phone is hung up.

Pepper was shocked. She came from a prestigious school, and she was a leader in both IQ and EQ. She quickly realized that this was not a harassing call.

She quickly threw away the documents in her hand and pushed open the door of Tony's office.

At this time, Tony was leaning on the chair, putting his legs on the desk, turning the pen in his hand boredly,

"Hey, Pepper, I just thought of a brilliant idea. If I load dozens of small warheads on a missile, its powerful coverage strike capability may destroy a mountain with only one warhead."

"Tony, I just got a call..."

Before Pepper finished speaking, Tony had interrupted her,
"You are my personal assistant, you receive countless calls every day, what's so special about that?"

Pepper lowered her hands helplessly, and she said in a deep voice, "The other party claimed to have a video of your parents being killed."

Tony slowly put his legs down from the desk, "Pepper, today is not April Fool's Day, and I don't like people making fun of my parents."

"I feel like he's telling the truth when he says he knows the real reason why your parents died," Pepper explained.

This time Tony sat up straight, and he said coldly: "Who is the other party, let him come to see me."

"He used a voice changer. Obviously he was trying to cover up something. If nothing else, he will call again later."

Tony nodded, and after a moment of silence, he exclaimed,
"Bring that damn phone into my office! NOW! NOW!"

Pepper immediately turned around and walked out of the office.

About half an hour later, when Tony was getting impatient, the phone rang belatedly.

Tony quickly pressed the hands-free button, he asked coldly,

"who are you?"

"Tony?"

The other side was silent for a while, then continued,
"Before we talk, I demand that you immediately fire your secretary Lausanne, I hate this man!"

Tony snorted coldly, "I've never been threatened."

"If you don't want to know how your parents died, you can hang up on this call now."

"Pepper, fire Lausanne." Tony gave the order without hesitation.

Pepper led the way.

"Very well, Tony, that's a good start."

"You'd better not lie to me, tell me how my parents died!" Tony shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, Tony, we need to make a deal before you get the truth."

"How much do you want, just ask for it! [-] million or [-] million? I just want the video you said right now."

The other end of the phone was silent again, and after about ten seconds,

"Since you mentioned money, I did spend 2000 million dollars on this document. You can donate this money to the Mutant Disaster Control Foundation first."

"Are you a mutant?" Tony asked.

"I didn't say that. Well, you can transfer the money first. I will call you back in 10 minutes. In order to keep you patient, I can tell you a little information. Your parents died of murder."

Beep!
The phone is hung up.

Tony threw the phone on the desk angrily, and he yelled loudly: "Asshole!"

At this moment, Pepper walked into the office,

"what happened?"

Tony lowered his head, but immediately raised it again, "Pepper, donated 2000 million to the Mutant Disaster Control Foundation. Also, check the source of this call. Why did he have to fire Lausanne?"

"Losang thought it was a scam call, so he hung up on the other party."

Tony nodded, he didn't care about Lausanne, what he wanted to know urgently was the cause of the Howards' death!

"Give me another phone. Also, tell everyone not to disturb me today."

"Tony, do you think he's real?"

Pepper is the only person Tony trusts, so he doesn't hide,
"I was 21 years old and living in a boarding school. One day they told me that my parents died in a car accident. I never believed that he would die so easily. Although I hated him and he hated me, he didn't It would be so easy to die."

Pepper knew he was referring to Howard Stark, participant in the Manhattan Project and founder of Stark Industries.

"Tony, you should relax. Whatever the truth is, it's about to be revealed."

Tony nodded emphatically.

Ten minutes later, Tony waited calmly by the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Tony felt a little anxious.

Three or ten minutes later, Tony couldn't bear the irritability in his heart.

……

Three hours later, the call still hadn't come.

Looking at the dejected Tony, Pepper comforted: "Tony, when I was answering the phone just now, I found out that the other party might know me. If the other party really has the truth, he will definitely contact you again."

"I'm tired of waiting, Pepper, what does the phone company say?"

"The other party is using a satellite phone and cannot be tracked at all," Pepper said.

"a bunch of idiots."

Tony wanted to go to the lab to look for clues, but he was afraid of missing the call. He thought for a while and ordered,
"Pepper, go get Happy."

Tony is a lucky man. Although his parents died young, they left him a rich legacy.Although he has a terrible personality, he has three trustworthy people.

Happy Hogan, a former boxer, saved Tony from a car accident and was hired by Tony as his driver and bodyguard.

Of course, perhaps because of the good food provided by Stark Industries Group, the current Harpy has long since lost his original athlete figure. He is now a fat man with slow movements and a little silly and funny!
"Happy, you stay here. If you have a call, you must transfer it to the laboratory! Remember, you must transfer it!" Tony emphasized repeatedly.

"Understood, Tony, I will complete the task." Happy replied with a serious face.
