I Snatched Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet Chapter 52: Pepper’s Midnight Nightmare

"Of course Pepper, what can I do for you."

"You just said that Tony was in trouble, what is going on?"

Qin Yu shook his head: “It’s not a big deal. Although it’s really troublesome, it will be solved eventually with Tony’s luck and wisdom. But before that, he may show some strange phenomena. You Don't care too much."

Seeing that Qin Yu didn’t want to be too detailed, but his tone was very relaxed, Pepper also nodded slightly, "Well, if it will be resolved in the end as you said, I will try not to worry about it. "After talking, Pepper bit his lip. "There is another weird thing. Maybe it's just that I'm worried, but it really bothers me a bit."

"What's the matter?"

"I always have nightmares lately. After waking up, the contents of the dreams are no longer remembered, but I can probably remember that every nightmare ends in death, which is not too much in itself. Strange, the strangest thing is that every time I wake up at 12 midnight, I don’t know what is going on, the biological clock or something else, Tony often mentions you, so I think maybe you know it’s What's going on."

Qin Yu immediately understood what was going on when he heard it, and looked at Pepper with more pity.

Silly girl, you were really killed.

As for why we wake up at 12 o'clock, because 12 o'clock is the time for the system to refresh NPCs, and dead NPCs will be spawned again at 12 o'clock.

Some people like to make friends with plot characters, while others want to show their power by killing plot characters. In the past, there will always be players who are idle and will kill those more famous plot characters. , Cause many people to be unable to hand in the task, it may be because I hate it when watching movies, it may be because I just thought about the addiction, those NPCs who become superheroes or super villains are okay, after all, they are powerful, and a single player is not a player at all. Generally, you need to form a group to kill. Those NPCs that have little combat effectiveness are more miserable, and they may be killed by passing players on a whim anytime and anywhere.

Later, someone did a statistic. The NPCs that were killed the most times were found to be the targets of the most popular heroes. Pepper was among them. It is said that they were killed more than the NPCs. More than a hundred times, and most of them were done by female players. Mainly, she didn't have any self-defense ability. She was also a bodyguard, Hapi, with a combat power of basically 5. Any female player who came to Rank 2 could easily succeed.

Unexpectedly, her tragic experience started so early.

Qin Yu thought about it seriously, if it is really difficult to prevent this, the best way is to hire a bodyguard for Pepper.

But ordinary bodyguards are definitely not good. Although the level of the jealous female players is generally not very high, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is relatively easy to deal with an ordinary person's bodyguard compared to other players. .

But those powerful superheroes or supervillains in the Marvel universe are not easy to find. You can't find Captain America or Nick Fury to serve as a bodyguard for Pepper. This is a bit difficult.

That's right! Qin Yu suddenly thought of someone, maybe he could help.

"I think you may be insecure. After all, you are so busy and a manager of Stark Industries. You must be under a lot of pressure. I suggest you hire two reliable bodyguards. I happen to know two people, maybe I can recommend it to you."

"Bodyguard?" Pepper was a little stunned. He didn't expect it to be such a suggestion, "I thought it would be psychological counseling or something."

Qin Yuxin said that psychological counseling doesn't work, it's not a psychological problem.

"Yes, these two people are mutants, they have some special abilities, and the charges are very reasonable. If you need them, I can ask them to contact you tomorrow."

Pepper thought for a while, but she was a little embarrassed. She didn't think the bodyguard could solve this problem.

And she is just Stark's secretary now. Although she is actually managing the company, her position has not reached the point where she can hire a bodyguard, and the company won't report it.

"I'll go back and think about it, but thank you Mr. Merlin." Pepper tactfully refused.

Qin Yu nodded with a smile, and didn't force it.

When Pepper returned to Stark, he was almost surrounded by women.

"Hi Tony, I am a little tired tonight. I am going to go back first. Do you still need me to do anything?"

"No, I can handle it. By the way, drive Pepper carefully on the road. By the way, do you want Harpy to send you back?" Stark warned with concern, and he only showed his caring side to Pepper. He can't leave this meeting. After all, he is the organizer of the expo. Even if he doesn't like socializing anymore, he still has to deal with it.

However, for Stark's considerate performance towards Pepper, the female players next to them all showed envy and jealousy.

Looking at Pepper's leaving back, a blonde woman in a black evening dress next to Stark showed a sneer, turned and followed quietly.

Pepper walked to his car, was about to get in, and suddenly felt something vaguely. As soon as he turned around, he saw a woman in black appearing behind her without warning, taking her very close. Although he didn't know this woman at all, the emerald green eyes made Pepper feel a chill instinctively.

"Hello, what do you have--"

Puff! A dagger pierced her chest deeply and interrupted Pepper's words. Pepper was so painful that he could barely breathe, clutching her chest, and soon lost consciousness.

Ah! Pepper screamed and sat up on the bed.

She touched her sweaty forehead with her hand, and said her heart is coming again, having a nightmare again.

Checking the time on the phone, it turned out that it was midnight again.

She covered her face for a while before she calmed down. After hesitating, she dialed the number of the man named Merlin.

"Hey, I have considered it carefully. Please help me arrange a meeting with the two bodyguards you mentioned."

At the same time--

The expo finally ended successfully.

Stark was done and could finally leave.

"Can you believe it, saying that I was in trouble, that's a joke, me, Tony Stark! No one dared to cause me trouble." Stark was right next to him as he walked out. Hapi couldn't help but verbalize. Although he said he didn't believe it, but he cared so much, he obviously believed it.

"I think he was just playing tricks on Mr. Xuanxu Stark. You know those occultists who always have to do something. The last time I went to find a gypsy witch for fortune telling, she actually said that I shouldn’t To be a bodyguard, but to be a director to make a movie, saying that is my destiny, let me make a movie! Can you be confident, those fortune-telling gods can say anything."

As they said, they came to the parking place, but there was a woman standing next to the car gracefully, who was quite pretty.

Stark knew what was going on all of a sudden, at least he thought he knew it-another beauty came and took the initiative to throw her arms (send cannons).

He has encountered too many things like this before. After all, he is a famous playboy, handsome, and a local tyrant. He is simply the perfect lover in the eyes of a woman. It's a pity that he is now a good man, but I have to say that every time he sees a beautiful woman taking the initiative to give him a hug, he will still have a sense of accomplishment. It is one thing to fail to do so, and whether it is another matter.

He deliberately pretended not to notice the woman~IndoMTL.com~ reached out to pull the car door.

"Hello Mr. Stark, can I bother you?" the woman asked aloud.

"I’m sorry, I’m afraid I’m not in the mood. Ma’am, you are indeed a beautiful woman and very attractive. Before you change, I may invite you to dinner, but to be honest, I’m not in the mood to do that kind of thing recently. ." Stark wanted to reject the opponent without hurting his feelings.

Unexpectedly, the woman smiled inexplicably when she heard it.

"I think you made a mistake about Mr. Stark. I'm here to give you something." said the beauty.

"Um, what is it?"

"The subpoena—you are ordered to attend the Senate Armed Services Committee." The beauty said and delivered the subpoena directly to Stark's eyes.

Tony Stark's face suddenly turned dark. On the one hand, he was embarrassed by what he said just now. On the other hand, he thought of the trouble with the stall that Merlin had just said before. There was a black line at once. This crow's mouth is really awkward. Just say it.
