[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

The shock came suddenly, and I only heard a "boom" explosion from somewhere outside. The buzzing sound followed the shock wave through a hundred meters away, shaking the surrounding area.

The fragile window exploded in an instant, and other objects that were not fixed fell to the ground one after another. An indescribable sound reached the depths of people's brains, as if someone had hit them with a sap, and they felt dizzy.

Since the former boss changed her job to become a superhero and turned into Iron Man, the number of crises that Miss Potts has encountered has also risen sharply. There are more than a dozen if not a hundred.But the unexpected situation is so unexpected. She was lowering her head just now, and now she just found the falling bottles and cans, and she didn't even have time to react to avoid it.

A tall figure rushed to her side, reached out to grab her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms with an unstoppable force.

Miss Potts resisted the subconscious reaction of closing her eyes, and opened them again to see.She was wearing high heels, and was driven by that force to turn half a circle, and fell into the man's arms. Even if she reacted immediately and wanted to break away, she couldn't get away for a while.

In her field of vision, this young man wearing sunglasses was in the backlight position, his face was hidden in the shadow, behind him were several falling glass bottles, and a counter that was also falling down beside him.

He is saving her.

Realizing this, Miss Potts gave up the struggle.

After the tall man took her into his arms, he took her down with him.She could feel that he reached the back of her head with the other hand in a very quick reaction, put his palm under it, and supported his own body with his bent elbow.

He fell forward facing himself, the shadow on his face was a little thicker, and only an outline could be seen.Behind him, the falling glass bottle kept changing its reflective position as it moved, and then disappeared from his field of vision, hitting his back with a slight muffled sound.

The man's face remained motionless, he bent his knees and knelt down, stabilizing his body.He raised his other arm, just in time to block the glass bottle closest to her.The bottle was blown out, fell to the ground and smashed, and the splashed glass shards were also blocked by his suddenly lowered body.

The distance between them instantly became very close, very close.

The moment Miss Potts fell down, she broke out in a cold sweat and her whole body was icy cold. At this moment, she could clearly feel the heat radiating from the opponent's body.

But she couldn't give birth to any charming thoughts at all.

She saw the darkness fall as the man lowered his body.After blocking the glass bottle, his other hand did not put down to support himself, but was still raised above his head, and he supported the overturned counter with his shoulders.

The counter was made of solid wood and was very heavy. The glass on it had been shattered in the shock just now, but Miss Potts found that no glass had cut herself.

The glass shards fell on the man in front of her, and the man used his tall body to block all the damage for her.

She saw the sparkle in his platinum hair, and the panic in her heart was replaced by another kind of worry.

In this turmoil, everyone was defenseless, and the scene was even more chaotic at the moment. People could only flee in fear, and no one cared about other things at all.

Between light and shadow, Miss Potts saw the man move his mouth, his voice was covered by the surrounding noise, leaving only a few short breath sounds.

She opened her eyes wide, recognizing his mouth shape.

He was saying "Don't worry, don't be afraid."

This period of time, which seemed very long to Miss Potts, was actually only 10 seconds.

After 10 seconds, the man confirmed that there was no second concussion, and raised his body again.

The sunglasses on his face slipped from the bridge of his nose and were precarious. Miss Potts, who was seen, subconsciously reached out to support the frame.

The other party revealed a pair of beautiful green eyes from under the removed lenses, blinked in surprise, and then softened his brows and eyes, "Thank you."

Miss Potts felt awkward for a while, neither holding her hand nor retracting it.

The other party then said, "I will trouble you to keep it safe for me. Next, I will prop up the cabinet first."

He turned his head slightly, broke free from the frame, and let the sunglasses fall completely into Miss Potts' hands.Then he continued to raise his body and pushed the cabinet up.

The hand protecting the back of her head was pulled away from below, and the man knelt on one knee while holding the edge of the cabinet with his hand, and then with a force, the cabinet was lifted open.

The light flooded in again, and Miss Potts narrowed her eyes subconsciously.Then, the hand was on her shoulder, and it was helping her up.

Miss Potts stood up again, her face warmed up.For the first time, she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid the other party's concerned gaze, and then remembered that the other party was protecting her just now, and there were those dangerous muffled noises.

"How are you"

"Are you OK"

Two voices sounded simultaneously.

Miss Potts looked up, there was no blood on the face of the other party, and it seemed that she had not been cut by glass.But under the loose sweater, there may be other more serious injuries.

She became nervous again, but stopped talking when she saw the face clearly.

Very familiar.

She recalled that this face seemed to be the model in that suit show

"I'm fine, don't worry." The hoarse voice sounded again.

Only then did Miss Potts realize that it was a female voice, and the other party was the female model who had left the scene.But this did not hinder the still hot temperature on her face.

"You were hit just now, are you okay now?" Miss Potts asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt." She said, and then suggested to Miss Potts, "Let's get out of here first, Miss Potts."

Miss Potts nodded, and walked out of the door supported by the other party's shoulders.

The outside is also a mess, and you can still see the burning flames not far away, the rising smoke, and the charred remains of the explosion.

Roman led Miss Potts to a safe place before stopping.

"Thank you so much just now." Miss Potts said while turning her head to look around, wanting to see if the police and medical staff had arrived at the scene. "You helped me block the glass just now, and you were hit by it. How could you not be injured?" She spoke quickly.

"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, I'm really not hurt." Roman comforted.

She pulled up her sleeves, stretched her hands in front of Miss Potts, and signaled, "Look, you can rest assured now."

Her hands were neither bloodstained nor bruised, and she certainly looked unharmed.

Miss Potts grabbed her hand nervously and turned it over and over again, only to breathe a sigh of relief, then realized the offense she had just done, and let go of her hand in embarrassment.

"It's you. The situation was urgent just now. You were not injured, Miss Potts." Roman didn't mind, but asked with concern.

Miss Potts glanced down. Apart from being a little embarrassed, she even hung her handbag on her arm, and there was nothing wrong with it.

She looked up at the opposite side again, the other side's hair was messy, and there were one or two harmless glass shards hanging in the hair, which were sliding to the ground with her haircut.Although he was also in a mess, he acted like he was shooting some fashion blockbuster with an alternative theme, and he didn't look disheartened at all.

As expected of a professional model.

Miss Potts calmed down slowly, and then thought of the address she had just called herself, "You know me"

"Of course." There was a smile on the other side's face. "After all, you are the woman who appeared on the cover of Forbes. You are amazing, Miss Pepperpods."

"Call me Pepper." Pepper smiled shyly, and then asked, "Excuse me, I remember seeing you at the show."

"Romain Salat, a lucky newcomer, just came to the United States not long ago." Roman also said, "If you don't mind, just call me Roman. If I have the honor, I will get my first American friend like this."

She held out her hand.

Pepper shook it without hesitation.

When all the dust settled, Roman and Pepper waved goodbye, and by the way, they also exchanged contact information in a private way.

Although the hero saves the beauty is old-fashioned, it is still an efficient way to get closer if used properly.Of course, Roman's original intention was not like this, otherwise Miss Potts, who has been in the workplace for many years and has many years of experience, would not choose to make her a friend with ulterior motives.

After Roman returned to the apartment, he immediately asked Cinderella about it.

Cinderella looked calm, but frowned slightly, "This matter is not in the forecast. However, your performance is good."

"Didn't you design me to get to know Pepper like this?" Roman asked doubtfully while rubbing his hair.

"Of course not." Cinderella explained while typing on the keyboard to check the information, "Francis got inspiration from his machine friend, upgraded the algorithm, and then predicted that Pepper Potts would appear there to buy the latest recommended package. "

She raised the mobile phone at hand and shook it, "Our original intention is to let you get closer to her to see if you can break through the firewall of Stark Industries, so that you can cover up the traces of Francis' actions. Maybe, you can also Put him on line with the one from the Starks."

"No matter how bad it is, at least it will allow you to get to know more sponsor friends."

Roman folded his arms.

Cinderella ignored her ugly face, "Don't worry, you don't know, we are the ones with ulterior motives. Now that you are friends, of course the plan has changed."

"The question is, what happened to the explosion?"

"It's still impossible to judge." Cinderella's face is also not looking good. "According to Francis' upgraded algorithm, if there is a plan in advance, it should be able to predict this attack. In this way, if you happen to be nearby, you can go outside." The identity of the special agent prevented this explosion."

"No report yet"

"No, and no organization has claimed responsibility for it." Cinderella continued typing on the keyboard. "According to Francis' judgment, the location of the attack was random, and the explosion may have been an accident. It is obtaining information."

from the official database.

When the new message came, Cinderella roughly opened the file and glanced at it.

"The data show that the temperature at the center of the explosion was 3000 degrees Celsius, which is within the normal range of conventional bombs, but there are currently no traces of the items that caused the explosion detected at the scene."

"You said, could this attack be aimed at Pepper?" Roman propped up his chin.

"A reasonable guess. After all, Tony Stark has decided to become a full-time superhero. If something happens to Pepper Potts, it will be difficult to control the stock price of Stark Industries for a while even if he takes the lead."

Cinderella turned to look at Roman again, "Or, the other party is targeting Iron Man. This organization wants to retaliate against Tony Stark by killing his girlfriend, but it foolishly detonated the wrong place. Been busy."

Now, even Roman could hear that she was denying her own conjecture. "Reasonable guess" is irony.

"So it's a warning deterrence"

"But the target does not point to a certain person, it is more likely to be a demonstration against the government." Cinderella nodded, "The scope of influence is wider."

"then we"

"This part will be taken over by me and Belle." Cinderella finalized the new plan "You continue to be your model and see what strange things happen in the industry. Then, by the way, maintain your friendship with Pepper Potts .”

Roman's cell phone vibrated again, and it was a message from Belle, "Protect Pepper Potts."

Cinderella, who also received the notification, winked at her, "Hey, out of the field, your first job is here."

"As for now, after finishing work, drink tea and chat with your friends first."

After the bombing, Pepper was so tightly entangled by Tony that she couldn't stand it anymore.Considering that she spends most of her time at Stark Industries, rather than in and out of the Avengers Mansion, Tony thinks it's his involvement.

And Happy, who was promoted to be the Minister of Security, followed her even more closely, becoming Tony's second pair of eyes on her.But Harpy thought it was his responsibility, and he paid great attention to all kinds of details.

So, when her new friend sent her an invitation, she jumped at it.

"Hey Pepper, are you free on Saturday night? I have two tickets for Hamilton."
