Chapter 42

After the dinner party, unlike other banquets, there were no second parties, third parties, or other entertainment programs.

Alex Hart and his wife left first. Before leaving, he not only gave Henry a private business card but also left Henry's contact number. His eyes were intriguing.

Katherine came to Los Angeles this time, just staying in this villa of the Stark family, so she didn't intend to move.

However, she also exchanged contact information with Henry and said, "Regarding your work, I will contact Audrey. But neither of us lives in Los Angeles, so we have to make an appointment to meet.

"So wait patiently, child. If you hope to see the big star you admire, the other Ms. Hepburn. And the decision-making power is in her hands, you understand this, right."

"I understand, Katherine." Henry just thanked her and didn't say much.

Because if he said too much, this "Ms. Hepburn" in front of him would be jealous. Eighty-year-old aged vinegar, Kryptonians can't stand it either.

Walking out of the gate of the house, Henry unexpectedly found that the red flashy Ferrari was still there.

Tony was standing by the car smoking. As soon as he saw someone come out, he stepped on the remaining cigarette butt and said, "Get in the car, I'll send you back."

"Yo ho, I thought I had to walk home myself." Henry joked.

Tony said unhappily, "I brought you here, it's normal to send you back. And I don't want you to walk around this rich area all night.

"It's not to the point of meeting a nigger who robs, but you will meet a nosy policeman. So get in the car, if you wait until I kick your butt, your position will be in the front trunk."

This flashy Ferrari is a mid-engine, so the trunk is in the front of the car. The capacity is not large, at least in Henry's X-ray eyes, if he wants to fit himself in, he has to break his hands or feet into several sections.

Henry of course didn't want to stay in the trunk and got into the car obediently.

As Tony stepped on the accelerator, Henry squeezed into the seat. And the roar of the engine seemed to be venting emotions for Tony, approaching the red line area of the speed in an instant.

It was clearly a sports car that paid attention to grip, but Tony also played out the effect of drifting. The big iron gate that opened slowly one step earlier, when the Ferrari passed through, was just the distance that a car could pass, showing that all the timing was calculated.

Have to admit, in the control of the vehicle, Tony Stark indeed has unusual talent. This is also why he can drive a Formula car in the movie to conduct formal competitions on the Monte Carlo circuit in Morocco.

Although from the style of the racing car, it is not the top F1 level, it should only be the F2 level. But the racing license is not so easy to take, and not everyone can drive in formal competitions.

It's just that once on the regular road, Tony didn't enter the racing state, but complied with the road speed limit. The engine speed of the Ferrari entered a stable interval, neither the high gear close to idling nor the high speed close to the engine limit.

Looking at this posture, Henry knew that Tony had something to say, otherwise he wouldn't be in a hurry to send himself away.

Tony was neither used to nor satisfied with being rejected. At this time, he mentioned again: "Why don't you accept my job offer?"

"Mentioning this matter again." Henry asked back: "What do you think your ability can do besides blocking guns?"

Tony, who was stuck for a moment, said after a while: "Actually, shouldn't a mutant like you think of ways to use your talent to better integrate into the lives of ordinary people?"

: It turns out that he treats himself as a mutant.

Henry didn't want to untie such a misunderstanding, and asked again: "Then our genius Mr. Tony, can you tell me, why do the top lawyers in the United States serve what kind of people? What kind of people can afford to hire these elite lawyers."

This question made Tony silent again.

Henry continued: "If someone has to hire me to block guns, first of all, he must have done something that makes people want to shoot him. Among these people, I think nine out of ten are doing bad things.

"And the remaining one, I think he can't afford the remuneration to hire me. So you say, is it really a good thing for me to earn this kind of money with my conscience?

"If you say to be a vigilante, going everywhere to save people, etc. Don't you think that when I arrive, people might have died. It just so happens that the police come up and catch me as a suspect.

"How much do I want to not think about it to do this kind of thankless thing. So volunteering to be Ms. Hepburn's driver and bodyguard is the best solution I can think of.

"At least she is a good person, and going to a place like Africa, I can come in handy. More importantly, she can at least pay me a basic salary. And won't be like other poor people, only letting me pay gratuitously."

Now Tony also knew that Henry's attitude was not unwilling to help people, nor was it wasting his talent. He just picked people to help, and he picked them in a way that people couldn't find fault with.

Henry continued: "Refusing your job offer today, if it makes you feel disappointed, I can only say it's a pity. But some things have to be made clear, I actually don't really want to refuse you. You can see this, genius Mr. Tony."

"Just Tony. Mr. Tony, what kind of sarcastic way of speaking is that." Complaining a little bit, Tony said again: "Are you trying to refuse Alex?"

Henry said: "Of course. Didn't you see that big shot in the financial circle, when he saw that I could block guns, both eyes were shining. It's just that I met him for the first time, and some things are not easy to say.

"It's considered a friendship that I have met you a few times, and Ms. Hepburn is making fun on the side. The words I used to refuse you can also be regarded as a joke without being too rude.

"This is the best result for me. I don't even want to think about why a big shot like him would need a talent like me."

Tony remembered the inside information Alex said again. He knows so much, is it really possible that he has nothing to do with it, as he said himself?

"If you are worried about him, you can put forward more ordinary conditions. Without revealing your ability." Tony criticized.

Henry sneered: "If I only show that I am an ordinary person, with your energy, would it be difficult to find someone who is more brilliant and more trustworthy than me? Do I really have other bargaining chips?

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. After all, the young master of the Stark family, life is a simple mode. Can't understand that for a small person like me, wanting to cross the class and enter your circle, even if it's just as a servant, how difficult it will be.

"If I don't show some skills that others don't have, can I make you look at a stranger like me? I won't be naive enough to think that we have talked a few times, especially not all of them are pleasant experiences, and we can be considered friends.

"If we were really friends, when Katharine Hepburn asked for my evaluation just now, I believe you could have said it more simply. And you wouldn't have used a bait like 'Ms. Hepburn' to hook me, wanting to see me make a fool of myself.

"But I didn't feel offended or unhappy because of this. Regardless of whether you are satisfied with this monkey show today, young master, I have tried my best. All of this is to repay you for giving me such an opportunity.

"For this, I am really grateful, without any disrespect. After all, such an opportunity is not something anyone can encounter. This is definitely not saying anything sarcastic, wanting to satirize people.

"And I believe that our life trajectories in the future will not have so many overlaps. I am not the son of a billionaire, and our circles can't play together."

The car that arrived at the destination stopped on the side of the road, and Henry consciously opened the door and got off. Standing by the car, he made a Western-style waving bow, gave a standard commercial smile, and said:

"So, goodbye, don't see, never see again. Mr. Tony Stark."

Tony Stark's silence is the best response.
