The More He Learned, the More Mysterious It Became

"Right, sign this contract."

"If you reveal what happened today, don’t blame me for what follows."

Tony watched the three of them prepare to leave. With a flash, he flew down to the underground lab, then quickly returned with two non-disclosure agreements, two pens, and red ink paste, requiring Jane and Daisy to sign and leave their fingerprints.

"Okay."

Jane knew that much of what she had learned today could not be disclosed. She had already agreed to that, so she immediately accepted without hesitation.

Still, before signing, Jane read through the contract to make sure there were no traps hidden in it.

Daisy took the contract and saw that it strictly prohibited them from mentioning anything that had happened today in public.

If Tony Stark discovered any rumors and traced them back to the two of them, he would be free to deal with them as he saw fit.

The punishment was rather severe, but as long as they did not violate the agreement, it would be fine.

After checking and finding no issues, Daisy signed her name and pressed down her fingerprint.

She was not worried that Tony Stark wanted the two of them physically.

Tony Stark was a notorious playboy who could sleep with a different beautiful woman every day of the year if he wanted to.

If he wanted to pursue the two of them, he would not need to go through so much trouble. He could simply throw money at them and get what he wanted.

They would not casually sell their bodies, but when the money reached a certain amount, anyone would be tempted.

Life was short. If there was a shortcut that required only a small price, most people would choose to take it.

Unfortunately, her body probably was not worth that much in Tony Stark’s eyes.

Thor watched everything unfold but did not try to persuade them otherwise.

Tony Stark’s fame on Blue Star was probably comparable to Thor’s own status in Asgard. Matters involving one’s reputation still needed to be taken seriously.

"Have fun."

After taking the contracts, Tony said with a smile.

"You two helped me a great deal, and I don’t really have anything to thank you with."

"I’ll take you around and let you have some fun."

"Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Seeing Daisy and Jane’s reactions, Thor smiled and spoke.

As far as he was concerned, there were plenty of ways to get money. Even if Tony refused to give him any—

He could simply return to Asgard, take out a few treasures, and exchange them for a large sum of money. So he did not care much about it.

"I want to stay in a luxurious presidential suite, and I want to eat a huge feast."

Daisy raised her hand and immediately stated her wish.

Their relationship with Thor was, at most, that of friends. Asking him to buy all sorts of things for them would feel rather shameless.

But she had no psychological burden whatsoever about letting him take them around to have fun.

After all, Thor himself had said he would take them around to different places.

"Sure. Then lead the way."

Thor looked at Jane after hearing this. Seeing that she seemed interested as well, he nodded without refusing.

Now that he had regained his Godly Power, even if Heimdall refused to receive him, he could fly back to Asgard himself.

More importantly, he had once again gained Mjolnir’s recognition. That proved his father’s actions had been both punishment and a trial.

Now that he had passed the trial, the greatest burden in his heart was gone. He decided to repay Jane and Daisy for helping him before returning to Asgard.

"Yay! I’ll call a car right away."

Hearing Thor agree, Daisy jumped up excitedly.

After seeing Thor off, Tony watched until Thor had left his estate.

Only then did he relax and remove the Iron Man armor, revealing his young and handsome face.

"Jarvis, arrange a late-night meal for me right now. I don’t care how expensive it is."

Tony immediately urged Jarvis.

"Sir, before you gave the order, I had already arranged one for you and Miss Pepper."

Jarvis replied.

"Well done. Damn it, I finally sent that hammer back."

"I’m starving after today."

After hearing Jarvis’s words, Tony did not want to move at all. He sprawled over the soft sofa like a salted fish.

All day long, he had been worried about whether he would be exposed. The tension had been unbearable, but fortunately, he had handled everything perfectly.

"Has Thor left?"

At that moment, Pepper came out of the room. Looking at Tony, who had collapsed into a puddle, she asked.

"Yeah, and I gave Thor some money."

"I told him to enjoy himself on Blue Star, so he won’t suddenly come bother us."

Tony rolled over and smiled at Pepper.

For safety’s sake, he had told Pepper to remain in the room until Jarvis said she could come out.

Thor would not suspect his abilities, because everything Tony had displayed was merely the Iron Man armor’s capabilities.

Thor could not see his body either. But if he saw Pepper, he might notice that her physical constitution was far beyond normal.

Since she had been prepared, Pepper had spent her idle time in the room eating and watching movies.

Tony, on the other hand, had to pit his wits against Thor, find a way to send Mjolnir back as quickly as possible, and get Thor to leave.

"You worked hard."

Pepper walked over to Tony, extended her pale, delicate hand, and gently rubbed his stomach.

"It wasn’t hard work. I’m just hungry."

Tony reached out and pulled Pepper directly into his arms.

"Mm, I know."

"But Tony, if Thor wasn’t part of an alien invasion—"

"Then the alien invasion Mr. Harvey mentioned must involve someone else?"

Nestled in Tony’s arms, Pepper nodded slightly before asking.

"Probably, but there’s no need to worry."

"I could handle it even before this, not to mention Thor will still be staying on Blue Star for a while."

"If I can’t handle it then, I can call Thor over to help."

"Maybe Harvey had already anticipated that Thor would arrive on Blue Star before the alien invasion."

"That’s why he told me not to worry."

Tony’s eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.

Every time he thought he had figured out some of Harvey’s intentions, he would realize that all he had seen was merely the tip of the iceberg.

He had no way of guessing just how much Harvey knew.

Fortunately, Harvey, who seemed capable of seeing the future and knowing so many things, would not take the initiative to attack Blue Star.

"Mr. Harvey really is incredibly capable. He predicted all of this."

"If anything happens in the future, don’t let your pride get in the way. If you can ask Mr. Harvey for help, then ask him."

Pepper’s eyes flickered as well when she heard Tony’s words. She spoke with admiration.

"Yeah, I know."

Tony nodded, not taking offense.
