Chapter 415: Killian Wants to Eat Young Grass?

"Jarvis, search for this guy named Killian."

Tony has been restless since Happy hung up the phone.

He didn't know whether he was jealous because he heard Pepper was flirting with someone, or because he was worried because this man had a little conflict with him.

Or, he had both situations...

"Aldridge Killian, a genetic biology research expert, founder of the AIM scientific team, and the real behind-the-scenes boss of Pioneer Technologies. The last time you met him was in Switzerland in 1999..."

Looking at the information collected by Jarvis, Tony couldn't help but frown.

This man is indeed the guy he had played tricks on before, and he probably has a grudge against him.

Thinking of the woman named Maya Hansen, Tony felt that Lainie's previous guess was correct, and the other party might have really completed the primary experiment of the "Extremis Virus".

But what is his relationship with that Mandarin?

Why did Mandarin know the locations of all the bombings in the past few months?

Or is it that this Pioneer Technology is actually serving the Mandarins?

Thinking of this, Tony thought for a moment and then denied this conjecture.

No, according to the current scale and strength of Pioneer Technology, how could they, with the support of the Security Council, need to serve an unknown Mandarin?

Wouldn't that be destroying their own reputation?

Tony was a little unsure. Lacking clues, he could not make an accurate judgment at present.

But he was sure that the two parties were definitely inseparable!

"Jarvis, monitor this Killian for me. If he has any unusual movements, notify me immediately!"

Adhering to his usual style of preventing problems before they happen, Tony immediately decided to let Jarvis keep an eye on Killian.

His existence is too critical in this storm, and he must pay attention to it!

Thinking of this, Tony no longer hesitated, sorted out his thoughts, and returned to the development process of the new model of armor.

...

"Tony?"

In the evening, after a busy day at work, Pepper drove back to the villa. She planned to explain to Tony what happened during the day and ask Tony's opinion on Lainie's matter.

"Ms. Pepper, Mr. Stark is currently in the studio."

After receiving Jarvis's guidance, Pepper sighed helplessly. These two people were probably in the studio for the whole day, every day these days.

Taking off her high heels, Pepper simply went down the stairs barefoot.

However, before she could see the situation in the studio clearly, she was startled by the sudden movement inside.

I saw that Tony was lying on the ground in a mess for some reason, with the "wreckage" of the iron suit all around him, looking like he had just been attacked.

"Tony!"

Pepper was shocked and didn't care about why Lainie was not there. She pushed open the glass door and rushed towards Tony.

After a careful inspection, she was slightly relieved. Fortunately, except for a few flesh wounds, there was nothing serious.

"Um, Pepper, you're back so early?"

Tony shook his dizzy head and walked slowly to his seat with Pepper's help.

"What's going on? And where is Leni?"

"There was a little accident in the experiment. The power output of the flight device is a bit high, but it's not a big problem. It will be fine after adjustment."

Tony rubbed his lower body and buttocks with some fear. The two hits just now were not light, and he almost scrapped himself!

"As for Leni, she said that there was something urgent in the bureau and she needed to go back. She left at noon."

Pepper frowned when she heard the words and looked at the pile of "scrap copper and iron" on the ground, and finally swallowed the blame back into her stomach.

"By the way, did the people from Pioneer Technology come to see you today?"

In order to prevent Pepper from seeing the abnormality of his lower body, Tony turned sideways and pretended to take a water cup, and then changed the subject indirectly.

Pepper glanced at him and ignored Tony's little action.

"Did Happy tell you?"

"Yeah, he's worried about you."

Tony didn't dare look into Pepper's eyes. He used to be so successful in front of women, but now he was a little overwhelmed.

Pepper saw what he was thinking and raised her lips slightly.

"What about you?"

"Well, I'm worried about you too. After all, I heard from Happy that guy that he touched you."

"That's all?"

Tony seemed to feel Pepper's gaze, and his eyes were a little evasive.

"Well, that's all."

With her understanding of Tony, Pepper knew that this guy was just not honest enough, so she stopped teasing him and told the truth.

"Killian is an old friend of mine. Before I became your personal assistant, I worked with him. He once pursued me."

At this point, Pepper paused deliberately and paid attention to Tony's expression.

After seeing a trace of unnaturalness on this guy's face, he smiled and continued:

"But I didn't agree to him. He didn't come here to see me this time, but to see Lainie."

"Who is looking for me?"

Almost at the same time when Pepper finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from the stairs. It was Lainie who came back.

"Laini, we are just talking about this..."

Seeing that the real owner of the story was back, Pepper simply told Leni what happened during the day.

"The reason why Killian came to the company is to help get to know Leni through me, and then he wants to provide support to the Avengers as a biologist..."

"Who? Aldridge Killian?"

Leni was shocked when she heard the name!

Good guy, I haven’t even thought about causing trouble for him yet, but this guy actually showed up at my door?

But Tony heard something was wrong in Pepper's words, raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and asked:

"His purpose should be more than that, right?"

Pepper was a little embarrassed when she heard this. The reason why she mentioned this matter was that she wanted to discuss it with Tony first before deciding whether to tell her personally about Killian's intention to pursue Leni.

But now this situation...

"Well, Killian actually wanted to pursue Leni and asked me to help introduce her, but I refused."

Pepper was a little embarrassed, she seemed to have made a mistake.

"ha?"

Leni was confused, really confused, her head was buzzing!

No, isn't Killian going to pursue Pepper?

Then the forced melon is not sweet but it quenches the thirst, and the pursuit of failure is determined to force it.

But what does it mean now?

Seeing that the progress bar on Pepper and Tony's side was growing so fast that he couldn't catch up, he found another way and planned to start from his own side?

This damn Killian is so calculating!

Do you really want old cows to eat young grass?

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Tony was also confused. He was worried and hesitant for a long time during the day, but you told me that this guy was actually pursuing Leni?

Pepper gave a helpless smile, she already regretted mentioning this matter.

"I'm not joking, and judging from his attitude today, he probably isn't joking with me either."

Hearing this, Leni was stupid, really stupid.

It's not like she hasn't been pursued before. I heard from Pepper before that a Saudi crown prince wanted to pursue her, and even gave her a brand new 2011 Lamborghini LP 700-4, which is the latest model unveiled. Daniel Aventador.

But Leni had never thought about falling in love, and she didn't want to meet any "high-quality human male", so she simply rejected him.

I also wanted to return the car to someone else, but the prince said that he had never been rejected by anyone, and he would never take back the gifts he gave. He would not accept anything.

In the end, it was Pepper who came forward to give the money for the car back to others in other ways.

As for that car, it's still parked in the garage at Stark's corporate headquarters.

"This is really amazing. There is no wonder in the world that there is actually a man who can fall in love with you."

After figuring out the reason, Tony breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face immediately changed his expression. He looked at Leni with a smile and teased:

"Let me tell you, otherwise you go and meet Killian. Didn't Pepper say that he has become quite handsome now? He is the boss behind Pioneer Technology and a biologist, and you, Stark, The directors of the company are a perfect match!”

"roll!"

Giving this guy an annoyed look, Leni was too lazy to talk to this guy who was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

After shaking off her somewhat chaotic mind, Leni sorted out her thoughts and then looked at Pepper with a serious face.

"Pepper, in order not to worry you before, we actually didn't tell you a lot of things. Pioneer Technology is in deep water. This guy named Killian has a big problem. Not only is he not a serious person, but he is most likely a Very dangerous guy!"

At this point, Leni no longer cares about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s confidentiality regulations, and simply reveals all about Tony's previous involvement in investigating bombings and terrorist attacks, as well as the recent sudden Mandarin crisis.

Although there was no explicit statement that Pioneer Technology was colluding with the Ten Rings Gang, Leni's words clearly meant that Killian might be cooperating with terrorists.

Upon hearing this, Pepper couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

How could this Killian hide so deeply? Then her purpose of getting close to Leni...

However, before the three of them could discuss the matter clearly, Jarvis's voice suddenly sounded:

"Emergency situation! An explosion occurred at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles! Many people were killed! Mr. Happy was also among the victims! He has been sent to the hospital for treatment!"
