Chapter 52 Oscar owes me a statuette

The bandit leader opened the trunk and began to check the cash.

After a few minutes, the bandit leader nodded and said:

"Mr. Stark, you are trustworthy."

Stark stared at the bandit leader and said:

"Let go of Pepper."

The bandit leader shook his finger and said:

"No, no, no, not now, we still need her to get away from the police."

Stark said angrily:

"Let her go, and I'll be your hostage."

The bandit leader still shook his head and said:

"Mr. Stark, we are not fools. I will not let a grown man be a hostage. Besides, you can restrain the police, but she can't."

After saying that, he waved to the other two gangsters.

Now Stark could only clench his fists and suppress his anger.

Just as the three gangsters came together, Luke suddenly appeared at the hangar door not far behind them.

Bang~bang~bang~6 shots fired in a row.

Under Stark's horrified eyes, the three robbers were shot and fell to the ground.

Luke hurried forward to check it out and said to Pepper:

"Pepper, are you okay?"

Pepper was frightened and a little unstable after being touched by the gangster.

Just as Luke was about to step forward to support her, Pepper fell into a broad embrace.

Taking the saber handed over by Luke, Stark hurriedly cut the restraints on Pepper.

Pepper was so frightened that her eyes were filled with tears.

Stark held Pepper in his arms and patted her back.

"It's okay, it's okay, Pepper, we're safe."

Seeing that the two were about to force-feed him dog food, Luke hurriedly made some noise.

"Ahem~Ahem~ Let's leave here first, and you guys can go back and hold me there, okay?"

At this time, Luke was standing behind Stark, and both of them realized that there were three corpses behind Luke.

So the two of them hurriedly separated, and just as they were about to leave, Pepper pushed Stark away in horror.

Bah~

The bullet was the fallen gangster's final struggle.

Luke didn't have time to think, he quickly drew his gun, turned around, and emptied the magazine at the gangster.

"Do not……"

He heard Stark's roar.

Turning around, he saw Pepper slumped in Stark's arms.

The blood on the chest had stained Pepper's white suit red.

Stark hugged her and cried.

"No, Pepper, don't leave me... don't leave me..."

Pepper's mouth was filled with blood and she couldn't speak.

One hand raised with difficulty and stroked Stark's cheek, his eyes full of love and regret.

Stark was already crying incoherently, and kept shouting:

"Pepper, don't go, don't leave me, I won't let you leave, I won't let you close your eyes... please..."

Luke hurriedly shouted into the communicator:

"Doctor, ambulance, hurry up, someone is injured..."

Pepper's mouth was still bleeding, but she still said with difficulty:

"Tony, I...I like...I like you..."

"I like you too, Pepper, don't leave me, don't... please... hold on... the doctor will be here soon..."

Pepper gave Stark a loving smile, slowly closed her eyes, and let her arms drop.

"No...no...Pepper..."

Stark hugged Pepper tightly in his arms like crazy, kissing her forehead and stroking her cheek.

Luke also walked forward with a sad face and patted Stark on the shoulder.

Just when Stark was about to roar to the sky, he heard a voice.

"Click~ Perfect..."

Then he looked on in confusion as many people and cameras walked out from every corner of the hangar.

Then he noticed that Pepper in his arms moved.

Luke also stepped forward and helped Pepper up.

Stark is still in a daze...his face is full of doubts about life...

At this time, people gathered around and applauded.

Luke said to a thin middle-aged man with a beard:

"James, how's my acting?"

The middle-aged man smiled and replied:

"It's great, absolutely perfect, fully portraying the image of a federal agent who hates evil and is smart and wise."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched. Although he knew that this was a compliment to him, he still felt that it was a bit too fake. Did Second Aunt pay this guy too much?

"Did you take pictures of everything?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said:

"It's all filmed. This story is so touching. If it wasn't for the lack of running time and the inability to reshoot, I would definitely let it be released."

Stark also understood at this time and stared at Luke with dead fish eyes.

"Luke, you bastard..."

Luke shrugged, pointed at Pepper and said:

"You should thank me. You got a good girl. That's more important than anything else, isn't it?"

Seeing that Luke was too shameless, he looked at Pepper, who had a lustful face.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to blame her.

But Pepper finally got what she wanted, so how could she give Stark the chance to regret it?

He put his arms around Stark's neck and gave him his bloody kiss.

The good news is that the blood is syrup. The bad news is that the syrup is really sweet…

Everyone applauded when they saw that the lovers finally became brother and sister... ahem... finally got married.

Director James asked Luke anxiously:

"Do you think Stark will sue me if I make a short film and release it?"

Luke thought for a while and said:

"No, he'll probably have to do some reshoots too. You've made a lot of money. Not everyone can hire Stark."

James was still a little unconvinced, but the slap in the face came too quickly.

After kissing Pepper, Stark pointed at Luke and said:

"You bastard, I'm going to add some drama... I can't let you act alone on this..."

Luke shrugged and said:

"You can do whatever you want, but I'm worried about your poor acting skills... You can't act out that expression you made just now..."

Stark said confidently:

"Hey, don't underestimate me. With my performance just now, I think the Oscars owe me a little golden man."

Director James said:

"From a professional point of view, Ms. Pepperpotts has the best acting skills. I think her dying nostalgia and regret for her lover are better than many Hollywood actresses."

Pepper smiled and gave James a thumbs-up.

"Director, shoot well. Come to me if you need investment in the future."

Stark was immediately dissatisfied.

"Hey, I'm the protagonist..."

Obviously, Pepper knows how to control Stark better.

The two of them were noisily trying to end the farce.

"Don't you think robbers have the best acting skills?"

Only then did Stark see the robber.

Happy, Rhodes, and Chief Taylor.

Stark looked at the men with his mouth wide open, then glared at Luke.

“You really know how to choose actors.”

Luke shrugged and said:

"I'm the producer and screenwriter. No need to thank me. I'll sign the bill later."

"Fuck, why do I have to pay..."

Luke glared at Stark and said:

"Do you think you can hire so many actors for free? Director Taylor even played the role of a robber himself, and the FBI intelligence team was invited. Is this something that ordinary people can afford?"

Stark stared at Luke with dead eyes and asked:

"how much did you spend?"

Luke pointed to the bag on the ground and said:

"Exactly six million. One million for staff salaries, three million to be donated to the LAPD, and two million to the FBI Los Angeles branch. Perfect."

"Fuck, Luke you bastard..."
