Desert, inside a cave.
"Hey, this thing is really bad. I swear it's the worst thing I've ever eaten in my life."
With a small iron bowl in hand, looking at the slimy morsels of potatoes inside, Tony Stark complained as he ate.
Although he was complaining, he didn't put down the bowl in his hand.
It is very clear that he has fallen to this point, and only if he persists will he have a chance of being rescued.
"The materials here are poor and scarce, and it is very rare to have a good bite of food."
Listening to Tony's words, watching the on-board generator next to him to keep Tony Stark alive was still working.
Only then did he feel a little relieved.
After all, the guys who attacked and kidnapped him said that Tony Stark was dead Then he might not be able to continue to live.
Facing Ethan's words, Tony Stark was silent for a moment, and then laughed at himself. "Actually, I'm not picky about food."
"Perhaps you can't imagine that what I want to eat most now is actually a cheeseburger."
"Okay, Ethan, why are you here? You know? My instincts have always been right."
"I think you should not be with the group of guys who attacked and kidnapped me."
Staring at Ethan, Tony Stark looked at "Hope" in front of him pretending to be relaxed.
It doesn't matter whether you can escape or not, and it doesn't matter when the rescuer will come.
In this damn place, at least, Tony Stark thought.
At least the people who can communicate with him should not be with those damned guys.
This is also a little bit of comfort to him in this desperate situation.
Ethan pushed his glasses, and continued to eat the sticky mashed potatoes without any seasoning.
After a little silence.
Ethan suddenly asked Tony, "Is there a difference?"
"Definitely, the difference is huge."
Looking at Ethan, Tony Stark laughed at himself and said, "It's like my first love, the girl Cassie Della Gillespie from the arms family."
"When my daddy was still alive, he told me she wasn't a good girl for me. But I didn't believe it."
"The less my father likes something, the more I want to do it."
"Facts have proved that my father's vision is not bad, and that girl really approached me with an ulterior motive."
"It was only later that I found out that she was an agent codenamed "Honey Badger"."
Having said that, Tony Stark looked at Ethan: "The situation now is similar to what I was then."
"Although i was mentally trapped at that time, and i'm physically trapped now."
"But even then at least I had family and friends I could trust."
Hearing what Tony Stark said, Ethan in the cave continued to remain silent.
After a long time, in Tony Stark's expectant eyes.
Ethan suddenly said. "Go to sleep, you are not in good health just yet."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Tony Stark, but went directly back to his bed to get ready to rest.
Yes, if he didn't answer Tony Stark's question directly, he might disappoint him.
But, he can't really trust Tony now.
After all, everyone knows that he is just an arrogant playboy.
In this place where everything is always at the cost of life, Ethan will not and is not willing to trust anyone easily.
What's more, he is still a guy known as an arrogant bastard!
Seeing that Ethan didn't answer him, Tony Stark was indeed a little disappointed.
Moving his body and lying on the bed again, his eyes fixed on the top of the cave, his thoughts began to gradually spread.
It has been more than a week since he was kidnapped.
What he thought and dreamed these days was not Rhode's group of people who should be frantically looking for him at this moment.
It was his life assistant, Pepper.
With her around, at least he don't need to worry about anything.
She can help him take care of all the chores of life.
Perhaps, she should be pretty worried about the state of her boss now.
More than a week has passed!
"Still no news..." Although Pepper was still very worried, her mood was much more stable than before.
At least in the coffee shop, she can still joke with Morgan.
"The reward of 10 million dollars is enough to make those famous private investigators go crazy, not to mention the person who needs to be rescued is Tony Stark, the man who rescued him would get a bunch of spotlight."
"Unfortunately, there hasn't been any news about Tony that is useful..."
"Then you can take a vacation to take your mind off it." Seeing that Pepper's mood has stabilized, Morgan laughed and said. "Before the worst news comes, it proves that there is still hope for everything."
"I hope so, but the guy I feel that is the most relaxed about is Happy."
"After all, during the time Tony was missing, he only needed to clock in at work."
"He doesn't even need to check in. After all, as Tony's bodyguard and driver, Tony is not here, he became the most relaxed...."
Glancing at her watch, Pepper stood up with her bag in hand. "Thank you for the coffee, I still have some things to deal with back in the office."
"If Tony is rescued one day, then I will pay double the amount of coffee you buy these days."
Hearing what Pepper said, Morgan smiled. "Then I should pray that Mr. Stark will come back soon."
"I hope so too."
Nodding to Morgan, Pepper got up and walked towards the door of the coffee shop.
Outside the cafe.
"Wanda, I don't understand why the two of us are here for coffee. What's so good about this stuff?"
"Although the guy woth the eyepatch gave us living expenses, I hate it here."
"Especially, this coffee shop is across from that goddamn Tony Stark's tower!"
"Shut up, Pietro!"
Listening to Pietro's nagging, Wanda told him to shut up immediately.
Looking up, she looked at this coffee shop named "Peach Blossom".
Wanda took a deep breath, then pushed the door open and walked in!
'I want to see what my future husband looks like from the diary!'
