Chapter 22 I am also a person of status

"What happened, Sean?" Tony and Pepper also heard Justin Hammer's loud voice. They didn't want to answer him at first, but when they saw that the other party was Sean, they came over to ask.

"Nothing, someone suspected that I was a European tramp who sneaked in to eat and drink for free." Sean smiled and didn't care much about Justin Hammer's clown behavior.

Sean didn't care, but Tony and Pepper did. Not to mention that Sean is now a member of the Stark Group, the fact that Sean saved Tony and Sean's mysterious ability are enough to make them pay attention.

"Oh? Isn't this Hammer whose contract was just cancelled by the military?" Tony's mouth was still as sharp as ever, piercing the lungs.

"The contract is just suspended. Do you know each other?" Justin Hammer's voice lowered, and he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid.

"This is our group's new consultant, Mr. Sean Hunter. Oh! By the way, there is a gift for you, Natalie~" Tony looked at Sean and said mysteriously.

Seeing Natalie approaching affectionately, Sean half-jokingly said: "You are not going to give Natalie to me as a gift?"

"You wish!"

Tony rolled his eyes: "This is my new personal assistant, and what she holds in her hand is your gift." Tony introduced Natalie to Sean proudly, and raised his eyebrows proudly, as if to say, look at our assistant, she is much prettier than the blind law enforcement officer that day.

"Mr. Stark gave part of his group shares to Mr. Sean Hunter as a gift. This is the equity transfer agreement." Natalie looked at Sean. She was actually very confused in her heart. Although Sean did save Tony's life, it was not worth Tony's generosity, right?

Christine, who had just chatted with Sean, covered her mouth in surprise. As a reporter for Vanity Fair, she knew the value and significance of these shares very well. The people watching the excitement around were also surprised by Tony's direct gift of shares, just like Christine.

Sean glanced at Tony's chest when he heard this. The dense toxins looked very bad. He had already started to arrange his funeral.

Although the shares Tony gave him were not many, they were very valuable. Now the shares of Stark Group cannot be described as rising all the way, but they were rising all the way. These shares will only become more and more valuable.

As the palladium content in the blood increased, the poisoning became more and more serious. Tony may have felt that he didn't have much time left. Giving away the shares was a reward for thanking Sean for saving his life; secondly, he probably wanted Sean to help him protect Pepper in the future.

Thinking of this, Sean glanced at Pepper, patted Tony on the shoulder, and signaled with his eyes.

Tony saw Sean's eyes and felt that Sean seemed to know the truth.

As Sean signed his name on the agreement, from this moment on, he became a shareholder of Stark Group, and he was also a person of status!

Sean knew that Tony would definitely not die this time, but this share was just a drop in the bucket for Tony, so he would rather not give it up. Besides, he hadn't been paid for the private work he had done before!

Natalie looked at the man in front of her, and she suddenly wondered if she had made a wrong judgment about Sean before.

"Natalie, ahem... Natalie!" Tony looked at Natalie staring at Sean, and felt that if he didn't speak, the newly hired personal assistant would also run away.

"I'm here, Mr. Stark, is there anything else?" Natalie regained her professionalism in a second.

"It's okay, you go first."

Tony looked at Natalie, who was bright and beautiful and obedient, and left. Huh~ Fortunately, the little assistant is still mine.

Just after Natalie left with her waist twisted, Pepper looked at Justin Hammer who was already dumbfounded and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Hammer, I hope you will clean your glasses in the future, so that at least you won't recognize the wrong person."

"Hahahaha... I was just joking with Mr. Hunter just now." Justin Hammer laughed awkwardly, and then quickly changed the subject and said: "Oh, by the way, this is Christine from Vanity Fair magazine. This is the new president of Stark Industries, the famous Pepper Potts. With this new shareholder of Stark Group, this is big news."

Justin Hammer introduced solemnly, complimented Pepper, and by the way, wanted to win a little favor from Christine.

Of course Christine knew who Pepper was. She once had a good interview with Tony.

At that time, Christine had a brief confrontation with Pepper in Tony's mansion. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the little housekeeper Pepper Potts in her eyes had become a person she could not reach.

However, as a reporter, Christine had seen all kinds of embarrassing scenes. She immediately took advantage of the situation and said to Pepper: "Of course I know, please give me a chance to interview you, otherwise my editor-in-chief may beat me to death, please~"

Sean looked at Christine's pitiful and humble expression, and said, "It's really not easy in any profession."

Sure enough, Christine's pretending to be pitiful worked, and Pepper softened her heart and agreed to her, and then said that she would go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup first.

Justin Hammer saw that no one mentioned his rude behavior just now, and he began to put his arm around Tony and wanted to take a photo with him, which would also be of great benefit to the publicity of his Hammer Industries.

"Oh, God, please stop. I can't stand it. It's too disgusting. Let's go quickly, Sean." Tony pulled Justin Hammer's sticky claws hard, patted the place where he had grabbed with disdain, and quickly pulled Sean away.

"I can't stand this shameless guy." Tony complained irritably.

"Really? More shameless than you?" Sean said with a smile.

"......" Tony looked at Sean with resentment.

"You know, right?"

Tony suddenly looked around and then asked in a low voice. He knew that Sean had some mysterious abilities.

"How long?" Sean glanced at the Ark reactor on his chest.

"It's been a while. As long as I continue to use the Iron Man suit, the process will be accelerated." Tony suddenly felt helpless. He didn't expect that the device that saved his life at the beginning would become his death warrant in the end.

"If you had come to me when you first discovered it, I might have a solution. Now the situation is too bad and I can't do anything." Sean looked at Tony apologetically.

"Really? Then I have to enjoy myself during this period." Tony suddenly laughed, feeling like he had given up.

Seeing Tony like this, Sean reminded him, "Maybe there is a solution."

"Believe me, I have tried all the elements, all the permutations and combinations, and there is no alternative at all." Tony is still very confident in himself in scientific research.

"Maybe not all." Sean smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Tony frowned and looked at him.

"All you said is just all the known ones, so what about the unknown ones?" Sean stopped talking and said no more.

"What do you mean by unknown ones?"

"You don't know, so how can I know? You have to learn to discover it yourself, and don't always think about relying on others."

Although Sean's words made sense, Tony still wanted to beat him up.
