Outside the Void Building, Phil Coulson and Tony Stark's driver and bodyguard, Happy, saw Pepper Potts come out and quickly hurried over to meet her.
(Happy: Why wasn't I introduced before? Do I not deserve a name?)
"Did he agree?"
Pepper Potts nodded, then shook her head, and told them about her conversation with Samuel.
"One hundred million U.S. dollars..."
Phil Coulson's expression was a bit grim, but his reaction was very quick. He immediately turned around, walked a few steps, and called Nick Fury.
"Will they lend it?" Happy asked Pepper Potts in a low voice.
Pepper Potts said uncertainly, "Probably, he said they definitely would lend it."
"One hundred million U.S. dollars, this is simply robbery."
Happy huffed indignantly, "They won't just take the money and not do anything, will they? What if..."
"Bah, bah, bah, there's no what if, we'll definitely find Tony!"
Pepper Potts nodded, "I saw that he looked very confident. As long as the phone can be delivered to Mr. Stark, we can find him through the location."
Happy also nodded, "There's definitely no problem. People say that Void Express's express delivery, as long as the recipient isn't dead, will definitely be received."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the account number right away." Phil Coulson didn't hang up the phone, turned to Pepper Potts and said, "What is your bank account number?"
Pepper Potts was delighted and quickly rattled off her bank account number.
Phil Coulson repeated it to Nick Fury on the other end of the phone and hung up.
About ten minutes later, Pepper Potts' phone received a bank SMS notification of a hundred million U.S. dollar deposit.
"It's here."
Pepper Potts quickly opened the Void Express APP, placing the order while walking into the Void Building.
"Ding!"
The elevator opened, and Pepper Potts took off her shoes and quickly walked towards Samuel in the bamboo pavilion.
"I've placed the order, I've placed the order!"
Samuel hummed and unhurriedly took the tablet from the person beside him, looking at her order.
Not bad, he made over one hundred million U.S. dollars for nothing, plus a super spokesperson.
Samuel accepted Pepper Potts' order from the backend and instructed the person next to him to receive and package the item.
At the same time, his Mind Manipulation Ability was activated, searching for Tony Stark's location.
"Found him."
Samuel's lips curved upward as he said to Pepper Potts, "You are Void Express's biggest customer since its establishment, so I will personally deliver this order."
"You, you already know where Mr. Stark is? I'll notify Happy right away and have him follow you."
Pepper Potts reacted quickly, immediately taking out her phone to notify Happy.
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "You probably don't know how fast Void Express's highest-level expedited delivery is."
"Don't have him follow me. Have him take people to Afghanistan right away. Tony Stark will contact you within half an hour."
Samuel took the packaged express delivery and glanced at the still somewhat stunned Pepper Potts.
After thinking for a moment, he said with a smile, "Actually, I'm personally making this trip not because of the money, nor because of Tony Stark."
After speaking, he disappeared with a whoosh.
Pepper Potts was startled, stumbling back a few steps, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Where did he go?
Where did that big living person go?
How could he disappear just like that?
Pepper Potts subconsciously looked at the other people, but found that they all looked unsurprised.
"He..." Pepper Potts looked at the assistant holding the tablet, but suddenly found herself speechless and didn't know how to ask.
However, the assistant kindly reminded her to quickly call and arrange for someone to pick up the person in Afghanistan.
Pepper Potts came to her senses, temporarily putting aside the shock of the sudden disappearance, and called Happy.
Let's switch scenes and talk about another branch of the story.
In a remote, heavily guarded cave in Afghanistan.
Tony Stark, wearing a dirty vest with a miniature Arc Reactor embedded in his chest, was focusedly hammering away at a pile of materials.
There was another person in the cave besides him.
Dr. Ethan.
He was also captured, responsible for translation and treating Tony Stark.
Without him, Tony Stark would have died long ago.
"Ding ding ding -- ding ding ding --"
The hammering was crisp. Tony Stark, who was swinging a large hammer, wiped the sweat from his forehead, but suddenly noticed an extra person nearby out of the corner of his eye.
"Damn it, I've been discovered!"
Tony Stark's first reaction was that the kidnappers had discovered his 'feigned ignorance while secretly building a steel armor' plan.
"Finished?" The figure spoke, slowly walking out of the Shadow.
Tony Stark reached out and gripped the hammer. Dr. Ethan also jumped in fright and nervously came to Tony Stark's side.
"Who are You?" Tony Stark asked in a deep voice.
"Delivering a package."
"Delivering a package? Ha, why don't You say You're delivering takeout? If You can bring me a hamburger, I think I..."
Before Tony Stark could finish his sarcastic remark, a package was already handed to him.
"Please sign for it, thank You!"
Tony Stark subconsciously took it and glanced at it, and it turned out to be sent by his assistant, Pepper Potts.
"You, are You really delivering a package?"
"This is too ridiculous, right? I've been kidnapped, do You know that? How could You deliver a package to..."
Tony Stark's expression froze, and his eyes narrowed: "You are a Void Express deliveryman?"
I just love seeing You look like You've never seen the world!
Samuel smiled faintly: "I am the Boss of Void Express!"
"By the way, let me tell You, the insurance premium for this order of Yours is over a hundred million U.S. dollars. Pepper Potts personally placed the order, and it's because of her that I came in person."
...
"You are robbing money!"
Tony Stark grumbled while picking up the pen on the package and quickly signing his name.
Then he handed the receipt and pen to Samuel and eagerly tore open the package.
A satellite phone!
Tony Stark's eyes visibly lit up at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.
Immediately after, he nervously looked at the camera in the dark corner.
"Damn it, those kidnappers must already know. We must find a way to leave here immediately."
"How did You get in?" Tony Stark asked Samuel.
Samuel said seriously: "With a 'whoosh', I just came in."
???
You're f**king kidding me?!
God f**king 'whoosh' and just came in.
Tony Stark, with a face full of question marks, shouted softly to Samuel: "Now is not the time for jokes, and Your joke isn't funny at all."
"How did You get in, exactly?"
"I'm not joking. I just came in with a 'whoosh'."
"You..." Tony Stark gritted his teeth and said: "You just came in with a 'whoosh', right? Alright, I've signed for the package, You can leave now."
"I'd like to see how You leave with a 'whoosh'!"
"Okay, don't forget to give a five-star review!"
Samuel nodded to Tony Stark, and with a 'whoosh', he was gone.
...
Tony Stark blinked his eyes hard, feeling completely disheveled by the wind.
Really, really disappeared with a 'whoosh'?!
