Los Angeles, Marbury, Tony Stark's seaside cliff house.
In the basement, a huge holographic stereoscopic projection projected the scene where Pepper was attacked by the Reaper and was rescued by Cao Gui, the helmeted man.
From the roadside surveillance video, Jarvis used algorithm simulation to recreate the scene.
Next to him, Tony and Pepper were watching intently.
"Tsk, Masked Hero, how naive is this person to still play such a trick?"
Tony Stark curled his lips, his face full of disdain. He had stopped using this trick of hero saving beauty ten years ago to pick up girls. You can imagine how stupid this guy is.
"Mr. Stark, this childish person you call saved my life. Without him, you would need to hire a new assistant. So, I hope you won't be so sarcastic towards my savior."
Pepper said expressionlessly, while Tony Stark still looked disdainful, expressing his contempt for Cao Gui's simple method of picking up girls.
"Jarvis, what are these monsters?"
"Sir, judging from the damage caused by these monsters, they should be creatures that suck human blood. Moreover, judging from the frequency of their prey, their metabolism should be very fast."
"A bunch of nonsense." Tony Stark rolled his eyes and said for a long time that he still had no information about these monsters.
"I'm sorry, sir, no information about this creature has been found in the database. Based on the behavioral analysis in the video data, I think it is probably the same species as the legendary vampire."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Tony immediately refuted this speculation: "Vampires should be elegant and noble gentlemen, how could they be so rude."
"Besides, vampires have the ability to be immortal, and there are plenty of ways to make money if they live for such a long time. How can they still have to work so hard to find blood?"
"..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I have to find a way to prevent this situation." Tony Stark's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't want to lose Pepper as his assistant.
"Sir, based on the damage caused by these creatures, only powerful weapons can cause harm to them, and ordinary bodyguards can't do anything." Jarvis said.
Tony looked at Pepper and Pepper rolled her eyes, do you think I'm the kind of person who can use rockets, Barrett?
Tony scratched his head. That's right. Pepper is just a girl and can't use weapons. Otherwise, Stark Industries' large number of weapons would be enough to meet the needs.
At this time, Jarvis released a hypothetical design drawing of a vehicle with folding doors and mechanical claws that could automatically bring people into the vehicle when encountering danger, and then drive away automatically.
"It's a very good idea, Jarvis." Tony nodded and praised: "But the mechanical claw needs to be improved. After all, it is very powerful and can easily cause casualties."
"Sir, this is a design you drew when you were fifteen."
"Oh, really?" Tony was surprised, and then laughed: "Look, I am indeed a genius. I encountered this situation when I was very young."
Pepper rolled her eyes, feeling helpless at her boss's boast.
"Ahem, of course, attack is the best method of attack." Tony coughed lightly and recovered his mind: "The best way is to combine escape with weapons."
"Sir, I have what you said." Jarvis's gentle voice sounded.
"Really?" Tony perked up and asked proudly, "Is this my genius idea again?"
"No, that thing is called a tank." Jarvis didn't give any face.
"...Damn it, I mean, a personal weapon that has these two functions and is suitable for women to use!" Tony said angrily.
"There is also a sir." Jarvis said: "The military has developed a kind of combat armor..."
Speaking of projecting the design drawing, Tony looked at it and his face was filled with disgust:
"Tch, it's a bunch of rubbish. It's so ugly, so bulky, and doesn't even have a flying function. It's better than anything I can get... Huh?"
As he spoke, Tony Stark was suddenly startled. He made a fist with his right hand and punched it heavily in his palm, his eyes shining brightly:
"Yes! I can design a combat armor myself!"
Just do it, Stark called up the design board and started to draw the design. His eyes were as bright as light bulbs, like a child who encountered his favorite toy.
Looking at Tony who was immersed in his own world, Pepper shook her head helplessly. She also wanted Tony to find the masked man, but looking at Tony's current state, it was better not to disturb him.

"Miss Potts, the private plane is ready and can fly to New York at any time."
A girl came on the phone. She was the personal assistant of Tony Stark's personal assistant, who was also Pepper's personal assistant.
Pepper looked at Tony who was immersed in work, shook his head and said, "Forget it, that's Mr. Stark's private jet, help me book a flight."
"this……"
There was some hesitation on the other end of the phone. The private jet did belong to Tony Stark, but as a personal assistant, Pepper could use it at will, because Stark not only had a private jet. Could it be that...the two people were in conflict?
?
The young lady on the other end of the phone suddenly became a little excited, maybe she could get the upper hand.
"Okay, Miss Potts, I'll do it right away!"
…
In the villa, the sun shone on the bed, and Cao Gui, who felt the change in light, slowly opened his eyes.
He patted Gwen's small buttocks lying in his arms: "Wake up, the sun is shining on your butt... Huh?"
Cao Gui suddenly found something foreign in his sight, and when he grabbed it, he found it was just a curly hair.
Cao Gui had no expression on his face as he picked up the curly hair. Gwen had worked so hard last night and it didn't leak out. Unexpectedly, there were still traces left overnight.
In her arms, as soon as Gwen opened her eyes, she saw Cao Gui's movements, and her face immediately turned red.
"Here, it's your thing." Cao Gui laughed evilly and joked.
"Shut up!"
Gwen suddenly became furious and bit Cao Gui's shoulder.
"Yeah, you dare to bite me, watch your moves!"
"..."
The two of them fought until they were out of breath.
"Stop making trouble, Cao, we still have things to do..." Gwen's face turned red and she tightly grasped Cao Gui's troublesome hands.
"Okay." Cao Gui said, "Gwen is right. The vacation is almost over, and it's time to go back to New York to go to school."
"Then why don't you get up quickly!" Gwen pushed the dead man on her body and said angrily: "I haven't packed any luggage yet!"
"Okay, get up now." Cao Gui reluctantly got up from the bed.
Gwen snorted, got dressed, packed her luggage, and then contacted the airline to book a flight. Three hours later, the two of them drove to the airport.
However, when Cao Gui and Gwen got out of the car, they saw... no, two familiar figures, Ken and his biological father.
"Yeah! Gwen, Cao!"
Beside the car, Kenm waved excitedly and kept waving to Cao Gui and the other two.
Looking up, Cao Gui's mouth twitched, what a guy, he actually met them.
