"Tony!" Pepper was a little angry.
"OK, fine, I admit it, thank you. Is that ok? Can I order something to eat? I'm almost starving. Please give me a cheeseburger, oh no, two, thank you again!"
It can be seen that Tony is not very good at and awkward about thanking and apologizing to others, and can only use this method to make himself look natural.
Dio, who had been thinking about going to his house tonight to break things, suddenly felt a bit awkward, probably thinking, "Why bother with a 'child' about these things?" Although Tony was much older than him...
"Even though you said 'thank you' twice, I have to tell you with regret that a cheeseburger can't save your life." Dio pointed to his chest and said.
Tony responded nonchalantly, "Of course, but it can save my stomach. Well, it doesn't have to be a cheeseburger, anything, as long as I can fill my stomach first."
Dio did not answer him, but carefully observed his expression, and then communicated with Pearl Jam in his mind from time to time for further confirmation.
"Take off your clothes..."
"Hey! Although I have to admit that you are handsome, well, second only to me, but I am not interested in men. Don't think that you can make me obey you just because you saved Pepper."
"If you had known what business I was in before you came here, then you would have listened to me now. I want to see that."
Dio said with a serious expression, pointing at the 'bright light' on Tony's chest.
Tony was silent for a moment, but Pepper suddenly gained some confidence in Dio for some reason. The reason why she had to come here was certainly not just to say thank you, but also to see whether the Qigong treatment that Agent Natasha mentioned was effective. Before coming, she also asked many people who had eaten at Dio's place and learned a lot of magical things.
If Tony hadn't been so stubborn and annoying, they should have come here yesterday.
"I'm fine, I don't need treatment."
"Tony, you know I'm worried about you. You should live like a normal person, not like a robot, relying on 'it' to live." Pepper said as she stroked the Ark reactor on his chest.
Tony sighed and lifted his clothes, but he still muttered, "Doing this in front of a man, I think I'd better die."
Dio ignored his mumbling and focused on checking Tony's chest. He remembered that the scary 'purple spider web' had not spread out yet, because the 'poisoning' was not serious yet. When that time came, Tony would not have much time to live. This was also the reason why he would choose to let himself go again in the future. At the end of life, people can do anything crazy.
But these ups and downs are also a kind of transformation.
"It's a genius invention, but it's gradually eating away at your life." After signaling Tony to put his clothes down, Dio expressed his opinion.
"Wow, what an astonishing conclusion." Tony said in a very exaggerated tone, obviously not taking it seriously. The more talented a person is, the more conceited he is. Before seeing the so-called "evidence", they will not agree with other people's opinions.
Fortunately, Dio didn't think that he could believe anything just by talking. Facts speak louder than words.
So Dio turned and walked into the kitchen and started tinkering.
Compared to Tony's indifference, Pepper became more worried. In her impression, the man who just left didn't seem like someone who would exaggerate.
"Tony, tell me seriously, is this thing you made really harmless?"
"Of course, would I joke with my own life?"
Tony seemed very confident, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
After a few minutes, Dio brought out a large glass of green drink, which looked disgusting and made people lose their appetite.
"What is this? Did you squeeze the weeds outside into juice?" As soon as Tony saw this thing, he complained without any hesitation.
"This is the vegetable juice specially made by our restaurant. It can prolong your life and remove toxins from your body."
"I think we might have to change restaurants, what do you think, Pepper?"
"Maybe it doesn't taste as bad as I thought. Can I try it?" Pepper said after a moment of hesitation, actually helping Dio.
But Dio rejected it without any gratitude!
"It's useless if you drink this. You're not poisoned. It's such a waste."
"Poisoned?"
After confirming again and again that Dio was not joking, Pepper's face immediately turned pale, and then she looked at Tony seriously.
"I admit that you may be great in some aspects, but you are definitely a liar when it comes to medicine. If I was poisoned, would I be sitting here chatting with you without any problem?" Tony just felt a severe headache. He wondered if Dio had made up such an excuse to retaliate against him and forced him to drink this messy drink.
Dio didn't explain, "You'll know after you drink it. If you don't want to believe it, just leave. Next time it won't be $100,000 per cup."
"One hundred thousand dollars for just this glass of 'weed juice'?" Tony was almost amused. He was indeed rich and did spend money lavishly, but that didn't mean he was willing to be taken advantage of.
"When you understand its value in the future, I will sell it to you for one million dollars a cup."
"Let's go, this guy has gone crazy."
From the look in his eyes, I can tell that he is a person who has gone crazy due to poverty.
Tony was really ready to leave this time. He didn't even ask Pepper's opinion. He just picked up his coat and left.
Dio did not stop him, but felt sorry that the other party did not know the value of the juice. This cup of vegetable juice with added ingredients could almost clear out the excessive palladium that he had accumulated during this period of time.
At the same time, it can also serve as a wake-up call for him to not use the Mark Armor so frequently, which would add burden to his body. It can also allow Tony to start looking for new elements that can be replaced now, so as to avoid being in such an ugly state when he becomes terminally ill.
So one hundred thousand dollars a cup is really not expensive.
"I'm sorry, Tony is such a stubborn person. Can you tell me why you said that just now? Is Tony really poisoned?" Pepper, who was a step slower on purpose, first apologized on behalf of Tony, and then asked worriedly.
"Maybe I saw it wrong, what a pity..."
As Dio spoke, he picked up the glass of vegetable juice and took a sip. He didn't know whether he felt sorry that it wasn't sold or that someone didn't know the value of it.
