Hercules Walk

Chapter 6 Tony Returns
Today is still an ordinary day, no aliens have invaded the earth, and no mutants have declared war on mankind.

The only unusual thing is that Catherine's New York Daily has finally stopped working overtime.

In other words, the boss of the New York Daily finally discovered that making his subordinates work crazy overtime will not increase the sales of the newspaper much except wasting overtime pay.

Catherine, who had been tired for three months, took a whole week's vacation, and decided to take a good night's sleep first, and never get up until twelve o'clock at noon.

After having breakfast, the first thing Wang Dali did when he left home was not to go to Stark Company, but to ride the newly bought electric bike to Stark House.

Since taking office, he would go to the company with Pepper, who lives in Stark House, every morning, and send her home at night, and wait for her to open the defense system of Stark House before leaving on an electric car.

Usually, Wang Dali usually arrives first, and Pepper comes out after a few minutes.But this time, when the Stark House appeared in Wang Dali's field of vision, he unexpectedly discovered that Pepper was already waiting for him here.

She was accompanied by Tony Stark's bodyguard and friend Hogan.

Before Wang Dali had any questions, Pepper, who seemed to be in a hurry, hurriedly urged him to check the vehicle.

"The car is all right, Miss Pepper."

Wang Dali who said so was overtaken by Pepper again and sat in the passenger seat.The $2000 million thick, bulletproof Rolls-Royce driven by Hogan was awakened from sleep and quickly left Stark Mansion along the driveway.

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the company? Miss Pepper, is something wrong?"

Wang Dali, who had roughly guessed the reason, confirmed it to Pepper.

"Let's go to the airport."

These bright smiles that Wang Dali had never seen before appeared on Pepper's face, along with a look of relief.

"Tony is back."

Just uttering a few words lightly, Pepper seemed to have let go of a heavy rock.Although her complexion is still not very good, she looks much more relaxed.

"Really? Congratulations, Miss Pepper."

Sure enough.Wang Dali nodded secretly.Although I don't know how long it will be, Tony Stark should have returned from Afghanistan.

……

Ordinary people have no way to enter the interior of the airport runway to pick up the plane, and neither can the rich.

But, in a capitalist country, the very rich can.

The military plane slowly slowed down along the runway, and the yellow hatch was used as a warning to land.Tony Stark, whose right hand was still bandaged, was helped out by his friend, the black Colonel Rhodes.

He looked haggard compared to what Pepper had seen, and there were a few more scars on his face. She bit her lip lightly and almost didn't cry on the spot.

At this time, Tony is the same.The middle-aged man in a dark blue suit looked at his female assistant with tenderness in his eyes.

"The eye circles are red, are you worried about the boss?"

"It's tears of joy, I don't have to look for a job anymore."

Pepper raised his right hand to lightly brush over his eyes, folded his arms over his chest.In high heels, she was about the same height as Tony Stark.

"Okay, vacation is over."

Sitting in the back row of the car with Pepper, Tony glanced at Wang Dali with some doubts.Pepper ordered.

"Hogan, go to the hospital."

"Do not."

"Tony, you have to go to the hospital."

"I said no."

Facing Pepper's concerned gaze, Tony Stark shook his head.

"I've been locked up for three months and now I just want to do two things. One is to eat American cheeseburgers, and the other is to want to..."

"I know what you want."

Stark spoke halfway, and Pepper's face immediately became gloomy, and he interrupted him.

The first thing this playboy did when he came back from Afghanistan was not to go to the hospital for an examination according to her kindness, but to find a woman.Why didn't he just die in Afghanistan!
"It's not what you think, I'm going to hold a press conference."

"A press conference?"

……

With a hamburger in one hand and a microphone in the other, Tony Stark announced at a press conference that Stark Corp.'s munitions department would be shut down from now on, causing an uproar across the United States.

For example, this is like Microsoft announcing that it will no longer sell computer systems from now on.

At this moment, what Wang Dali was thinking about was not what would happen to Stark Corporation, but that Catherine might end her less than one-day vacation.

Sure enough, when Wang Dali was about to go home, he received a call from Catherine.

On the phone, after scolding Tony Stark for not doing business, Catherine asked Wang Dali to buy some cheese, and she took all the cheese at home to the newspaper office.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Dali came to Stark House as usual.But just as he stopped the electric car, the door of Stark's house suddenly opened.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Stark invites you in."

invite me in?do what?
Wang Dali was slightly puzzled, but he still followed Jarvis' instructions and walked all the way through Stark's house, and finally came to an elegantly shaped bar.

Here, he once again met the most talented military research scientist in the United States, the world-renowned billionaire and playboy, Tony Stark.

"Come on, Mr. Wang, this is the wine that Tony Stark personally poured for you."

Wang Dali remained silent, took a sip of the red wine handed over by Stark with a face of "this is your honor".

No side effects, just plain expensive as hell red wine.

"May I ask if you have anything to do with me, Mr. Stark."

"It's nothing, I just have a question for you."

"Ask me a question?"

Wang Dali looked at him strangely.

"Um……"

Facing Wang Dali's direct gaze, Stark turned his head away awkwardly, pretending to be indifferent, but he himself asked very concerned.

"Why not use your power to make your life better?"

"I used it."

Wang Dali did not panic or overreact because of Stark's sudden attack, but spoke out about it frankly.

"Oh?"

Stark squinted his eyes, and quietly placed his left hand on the alarm button under the bar.

"Can you be more specific?"

"can."

Wang Dali nodded.

"I used to use my almost unlimited strength to move bricks on the construction site."

"Moving, moving bricks?"

The other party's answer was quite different from what he had imagined, which made Tony Stark look very shocked and speechless.Even if he said he had committed a crime, Stark would not be so surprised.

"That's right, moving bricks."

Wang Dali said to Tony very seriously.

"At that time, even if I had reservations, one person could do the work of three people and get three times the wages of others. But in the end, this difference was discovered, and I had to leave the construction site and find another job. .”
