Pepper thought about it carefully and accepted Dio's advice. She knew very well what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of the enemy and how much trouble it would bring to Tony.
Only about ten minutes later, a van stopped outside.
After the phone rang, Dio opened the door for the people outside. Then these people looked at the minced meat on the ground without changing their expressions, put on masks and gloves, and started to clean up.
These people are SHIELD's post-event recovery personnel. They have seen even more disgusting scenes, so this is no big deal. Moreover, they are undoubtedly the most professional personnel when it comes to handling such matters.
Not only did they put all the bodies into bags, they also cleaned up all the blood in every corner. Finally, after making sure that there was nothing left, they sprayed some special mist to remove the odor. These people had extremely clear division of labor and were incredibly efficient. The whole process took less than 5 minutes and they left with their tools.
There was no conversation between them throughout the whole process, and there was no need to communicate.
As expected, this kind of thing should be left to professionals. Dio was very satisfied as he looked at the clean interior of the restaurant. However, the damaged metal door and floor still made him a little angry.
"Who were those just now?" Pepper couldn't help but ask curiously. Obviously, she was also scared by the professional techniques of those guys. It was obvious that they had handled murder scenes many times.
"I don't know. The people called by SHIELD, their agents often commit murders and robberies. Who knows, they might be needed to clean up the mess someday."
Pepper nodded when she heard this and didn't ask any more questions. This was not her first time dealing with people from SHIELD.
"I have also contacted the people who did the renovation for you last time. They will come over to fix it soon."
"Well, just in case, you should hide inside."
"in?"
"Didn't Tony tell you? When this guy designed this restaurant, he built a shelter underneath it. It's a nuclear-proof shelter. You can stay there for a while."
Pepper has very high IQ and EQ, and she immediately guessed, "Are you going to cause trouble for that group of people?"
"It's rude not to reciprocate. I barely tolerated it before, but this time they came to my door to cause trouble. How can I tolerate these idiots?" He was reluctant to get involved in such troublesome matters, but there were always people who challenged his patience again and again. Even his uncle could tolerate it, and his aunt couldn't!
Pepper knew Dio's ability, so she didn't try to persuade him. She just told him to be careful and bring Tony back safely if he saw him.
Then the two of them walked through the restaurant and came to the rest area at the back, and little Crystal ran out first.
"Mr. Dior..."
His originally excited expression immediately subsided when he saw Dio and the older sister he met that day, and he became silent again.
"Your sister is here too?" Pepper naturally would not argue with a little girl, and she had already seen that the two were not real siblings. She just didn't know what the inside story was. If she was told that Dio had a mistress in his mansion, she would not believe it.
"Well, Will went to pursue his dream on The Rap of America, so I asked her to stay here to clean up. It's a good opportunity for you to help me take care of her for a while."
Pepper naturally would not refuse such a small request, and she actually liked this little girl with a unique personality.
"Come on, let's go to my room. Crystal, you come too."
After hearing that Dio did not deny that she was his sister and even asked her to come over, little Shuijing's expression brightened up a lot.
After entering the room, Dio said directly: "Old Qi, open the shelter."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark has set up a program that can only be opened with the correct password, and I can't bypass it." The voice of the smart butler Lao Qi sounded in the room.
"Wasn't it modified last time?"
In order to avoid shouting that embarrassing command, he almost forced Tony to change the program. He tried it several times that day, but it didn't work again.
"After Mr. Stark left, he modified it back remotely through the backdoor."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"In the instruction program, if you don't ask, I can't take the initiative to explain, and this is also Mr. Stark..."
"Okay, stop it! I really don't know who your master is, Tony, that bastard, don't let me see you again."
A dark line flashed across Dio's face, and then after hesitating for a moment, he said helplessly: "It should still be the original one, right?"
"I don't know, but I think so."
"I love Iron Man..."
After he said this almost through gritted teeth, the big bed in Dio's room was immediately moved away, revealing a dark hole inside.
But Pepper's focus was on the command just now.
Phew~
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."
Although Pepper covered her mouth tightly, the smile on her face and in her eyes was still clear and visible.
In response, Dio said helplessly: "Laugh if you want to, that bastard Tony is definitely dead!"
Seeing Dio's expression, Pepper finally couldn't help laughing. Based on her understanding of Tony, he was definitely capable of doing such a thing and would enjoy doing it.
These two people are sometimes very reliable, but sometimes they are so childish that it makes people angry.
But after entering the shelter, she was surprised.
This place is too luxurious. It doesn't look like a shelter, but rather a secret base for these two guys.
"I have to go out for a while. It might be dangerous to stay outside. You and this auntie stay here and wait for me to come back." Dio was instructing little Crystal who was clinging to him.
When Pepper heard the word "Auntie", her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I don't want to stay here. Can't I come along? I'll just stay in the car like I did last time."
Dio smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "This time is different from the last time. I like obedient children. Let's make a promise. As long as you stay awake and wait for me before I come back, I will take you to the playground next Sunday. How about that?"
Little Crystal nodded, obviously not very interested.
"Don't like playgrounds?"
"Um."
Dio guessed that she might have had some very bad memories in the amusement park in the past, so he thought for a moment and said, "Then if you can fulfill your promise, I will grant you a small wish, provided that I can do it."
Little Crystal's eyes suddenly lit up. "Is it okay as long as I don't sleep until Mr. Dior comes back?"
Dio nodded, "I'll be back as soon as possible. You can use all the food and entertainment here as you like."
Seeing that little Shuijing was finally in high spirits, he felt relieved. After all, as long as she didn't sleep, it would be fine. With Lao Qi and Pepper watching her, and little Shuijing trying hard not to sleep, there shouldn't be any problem.
