"Tony, what are we going to do now?" Pepper asked.
"We're going to meet someone. I have a lot of questions for him."
"Who?"
"The chairman of Skynet Tech, Zane ."
"You're just going like this?" Pepper looked at Tony, who was about to get into the car."
"What else?"
"Tony, Zane is a person who values etiquette. You're just going empty-handed like this!"
Tony awkwardly smiled and drove Pepper to a gift shop to buy some presents before heading to Zane's villa.
Seeing Zane's villa, which was ten times more luxurious than his own, Tony couldn't help but think about rebuilding his own villa. Not for anything else but simply because he didn't want to be outdone by Zane.
*Ding dong*
As Tony rang the doorbell, a laser quickly scanned his body. Meanwhile, Zane, who was organizing the knowledge he received from Mephisto, also received a message from the AI butler, Polaris.
"Sir, Tony Stark is here to visit. Shall I allow him in?"
"Sure, open the gate."
Carrying the gifts, Tony entered Zane's home. He suppressed the urge to look around like a country bumpkin entering the city. Different from the previous visits to Zane's home from SHIELD and Pepper, Tony, a top-notch scientist himself, could see that Zane's villa contained a lot of advanced technology, even some concepts that only existed in theory.
For example, the laser scan at the entrance. Although Tony could create it, the scanning speed was definitely not as fast as in Zane's home.
Also, the floating chairs and the table with only one surface visible as soon as you entered. Pepper had been quite shocked when she saw them before, thinking it was just ordinary magnetic levitation technology.
But Tony, with his sharp eyes, didn't think so. He was sure it wasn't magnetic levitation but anti-gravity technology.
But if it was anti-gravity technology, why was the table so stable there? How was the energy supply solved?
As Tony was itching to dismantle the table to study it thoroughly, Zane walked up to them.
Following Tony's increasingly fiery gaze, Zane noticed his table.
"Is he planning to steal my table?" Zane thought to herself.
But in an instant, he dismissed this absurd thought. How could that be? Tony Stark, despite being worth as much as his, with assets in the tens of billions of dollars, wouldn't possibly steal a table from his own home right?
Zane, however, was unaware that his thoughts were correct. Tony was indeed considering stealing the table and taking it home.
In fact, although Zane had lived in this villa for several years, he didn't know the technological content of his furniture. After all, who would be bored enough to study how their furniture was made?
Initially, Zane only shared some ideas with Skynet, and the rest was built by Skynet. During this period, Zane didn't even bother to look at it.
For constructing a new home for his master, Skynet spared no effort. To put it bluntly, any piece of furniture from Zane's home, if taken out and analyzed, could support a medium-sized company.
Skynet stated that he wanted to use the best technology to allow their boss to enjoy life more!
"Hi, Tony, we meet again. Now you should believe me, right?"
Tony reluctantly tore his gaze away from the table upon hearing Zane's voice, then solemnly said to him, "Thank you!"
Regardless of how Zane had treated him before, after all, he had dispatched that strange black cat to save his life, and ultimately intervened to rescue Yinsen, who was determined to die. Tony couldn't help but feel grateful.
The experience in Afghanistan seemed to have made Tony 'grow up' overnight. Looking back on what he had done before now seemed absurd to him. So, his attitude towards Zane made a 180-degree turn.
Zane wasn't someone who would always pick a fight, especially when faced with Tony's sincere attitude. A smile appeared on his face as he took the gift from Tony's hands.
"Come in and have a seat," Zane said.
Tony's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked past Zane, treating himself as if he belonged there. He plopped down on the sofa without hesitation, continuously running his hands over the anti-gravity tabletop he had been admiring.
Meanwhile, Pepper, still standing at the door, felt extremely embarrassed seeing her boss behave like someone who had never seen the world. But she remained polite.
"Mr. Zane, thank you. Tony has told me everything on the way here," Pepper said.
"No problem. Why are you still standing there? Learn from this shameless guy," Zane chuckled, pointing at Tony who was engrossed in studying the table.
A casual joke instantly dissipated the tension between the two, as well as Pepper's embarrassment. She graciously entered the room.
Then, Lorna tactfully led her upstairs to the lounge, leaving Zane and Tony some space to talk. This was something Lorna had learned from the books: when men wanted to talk, women were better off not interrupting. It was considered proper conduct for women.
Although Zane had explained to Lorna that this was an ancient belief, Lorna stubbornly believed in the wisdom of it. In the end, Zane had no choice but to let it be, as he didn't treat Lorna like people did in ancient times.
"Hey, big genius, snap out of it. You didn't just come to my house for my table, did you?" Zane chuckled as he watched Tony continuously caressing his table as if it were his lover, quickly interrupting his somewhat nauseating actions. Otherwise, Zane would have psychological trauma whenever he used the table in the future.
"Cough, um, thanks for that," Tony said, embarrassed.
