Chapter 19 Doubt

"Tony, what are you looking at?"

"I'm waiting……"

Tony turned his head and focused his eyes on the woman in front of him again: "I'm sorry, can I say your name again?"

"You weren't even listening to what I said earlier, were you, Tony Stark."

"Maybe it's because someone is so attractive that I can't concentrate." Tony raised his eyebrows and then said happily.

"Or maybe someone didn't listen carefully from beginning to end."

"Both explanations are acceptable, but I personally prefer the former one."

Faced with Tony's frivolous reaction, the woman shook her head helplessly, and then introduced herself again: "My name is Maya Hansen, and I am currently doing research on biological programming."

"Wow, biological programming."

"You already had this reaction, Tony."

"Okay, maybe I really didn't listen just now." Tony shrugged upon hearing this and subconsciously glanced down at the time on his watch.

"You seem to care about time?" Maya noticed Tony's absent-minded look and asked involuntarily.

"Listen, Maya, if possible, I would be very happy to discuss your biological programming research with you and learn about your research progress and results. However, there is another very important thing waiting for me to face. "Tony touched the preview letter of Kaitou Kidd in his pocket, with a look of hesitation on his face. He looked at the moving Maya in front of him and thought about the contents of the preview letter.

Finally, he waved his hand and made a decision: "Okay, actually it's not that important. I'm actually more concerned about your biological programming research than these. I wonder if I would be honored to go to your room to study it in depth." Rather than waiting for the so-called Kaito Kidd, Maya in front of her caught the attention of playboy Tony more.

"You can go see my research, but that's it."

"certainly."

Tony raised his eyebrows and agreed casually. He glanced at the party place in front of him and quickly found his driver Happy in the crowd.

"Hey Happy, we should go back and get my car."

"Understood, sir." Taking the key thrown by Tony, Happy glanced back and forth between Tony and Maya, and then showed an understanding expression.

"gentlemen?"

Hearing the strange way Happy suddenly called him sir, Tony couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face.

However, before Tony could think too much, the voice from behind pulled him back from his thoughts.

"Mr. Tony Stark, Mr. Tony Stark..."

Tony turned his head and saw a man with long hair and a cane walking towards him: "My name is Killian, and I am your number one fan."

"Oh, hello Killian." Tony looked at Killian in front of him and shook his hand.

"The way you are dressed, you really don't look like you are coming to a party."

"I came here specifically for you, Mr. Tony."

"Come for me." If the person who said this was a charming and beautiful woman, Tony would naturally be very happy to accept it, but looking at Killian's slovenly appearance in front of him, he didn't feel much happy. .

"I come from a private think tank called Advanced Intelligent Machines, or AIM for short. I specialize in researching the latest cutting-edge technologies that are currently emerging." Killian said as he took out two business cards from his pocket and looked at them. Tony and Maya on the other side handed it over.

"Just give her both, you don't have to give them to me."

For guys like Killian who come to him for cooperation in the name of a private think tank, Tony will meet a lot of them within a period of time.

So I didn't pay much attention to Killian's introduction.

He glanced down at the time and then said: "Okay, Killian, I'm glad to be able to talk to you, but there are more important things waiting for me to do next."

"Really, okay, I understand." The rejection in Tony's words was quite obvious, and Killian's originally excited expression dimmed immediately.

Tony took Maya's hand and walked a few steps outside. Then he seemed to think of something again and turned his head to take a look at Killian, who was still standing there looking sloppy.

"Sorry, wait for me."

Apologizing to Maya next to him, Tony then turned around and walked to Killian again.

"You know, Ji..."

"Killian." Killian said excitedly as he looked at Tony who was back in front of him again.

"Yes, Killian, I thought about it again and thought that there is actually the possibility of full cooperation between us. Otherwise, I will send Maya away first. In five minutes, we will meet on the roof again. You understand me. What do you mean?"

"I know, no problem, Mr. Stark, I'll be there right away."

"Aren't you interested in private think tanks?" Maya looked away from the business card in her hand, looking at Killian who left with an excited expression, and turned to Tony who came back and asked.

“I really don’t have any interest in think tanks.”

"Then why return?"

"I'm just very interested in Killian as a person."

"Huh?" After hearing Tony's words, Maya subconsciously took a step aside. She didn't expect that the playboy Tony Stark, who was famous throughout New York, would be there.

"It's not that kind of interest." Tony looked at Maya's expression and knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I just think Killian's appearance is too coincidental, and something happened to me just now. It’s a very interesting thing, so I plan to give it a small try.”

"What if you were wrong?"

"Then I can only say sorry to Mr. Killian."

Tony shrugged, but didn't take what happened before to his heart at all. He pulled Maya out of the party. But he didn't see his car waiting for him at the door.

"Sorry, please give me some more time."

Tony was naturally a little embarrassed that such a mistake had occurred at such an important moment.

Speaking to Maya on the side, Tony turned around and quickly spotted the driver Happy Hogan not far away.

"Happy."

"Oh, Tony, why are you out so early?" In the distance, the driver Happy was eating a hamburger. Hearing Tony's voice, he quickly turned his head, met Tony's gaze, and hurriedly explained: "I just Suddenly I felt a little hungry, so I went to buy a burger nearby."

"That's not what I'm talking about. Where's the car?"

"What car?" Happy looked confused.

"My car? Didn't I just give you the keys?"

Tony looked at Happy's blank expression in front of him, and suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Key? Hasn't the key been in your hand since just now?"
