Chapter 7: Instrument Malfunction? Preparations Before Departure!

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained one bottle of [Basic Physique Enhancement Agent]!"

"Would you like to use it immediately?"

"not bad."

Horn didn't expect to get gold every time.

Moreover, the [Basic Constitution Enhancer] is an E-grade prize, which is much better than getting the lowest-grade F-grade.

He then chose to use both the [Naval Six Styles] and the [Naval Six Styles].

In an instant, the familiar feeling returned, accompanied by a flood of memories, and my whole body began to feel hot.

Drop drop-

At the same time, the medical device attached to him detected an anomaly and emitted a sharp alarm.

The monitors showed that his blood pressure and body temperature were soaring, and his electrocardiogram was fluctuating wildly.

"What's going on!?"

Pepper Potts, who had been holding Horn's hand tightly, immediately noticed the abnormality and looked at the three medical staff.

Even Phil Coulson and Natasha, sitting in the cabin, turned their gazes toward the medical equipment.

"Blood pressure 320? Body temperature 43? Heart rate 436 beats per minute?!"

They were shocked when they saw the alarming numbers on the instrument panel.

Such values ​​would likely cause an ordinary person's blood vessels to rupture, their brain to be burned, and their heart to explode.

A tense atmosphere instantly filled the cabin, and everyone's eyes fell on Horn, whose eyes were still closed.

"That's not right, Mr. Hornstark seems perfectly healthy. Could it be that the medical equipment is malfunctioning?"

The three medical staff who were checking Horn's condition glanced at the instruments and looked puzzled.

In all their years of medical practice, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Just as they were sweating profusely and still couldn't find the cause, the readings on the instruments gradually returned to normal.

The whole process didn't last long, only about a minute.

"Even if I'm very handsome, you all don't need to stare at me like that, do you?"

Horn opened his eyes and, finding everyone staring at him, couldn't help but smile.

"Are you alright? Your blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate were all abnormal just now."

Pepper Potts looked concerned.

"It's okay, I'm sitting here perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Horn knew exactly what had just happened, and he secretly warned himself that next time he used the prizes he got from the [Multiverse Check-in Device], he had to find a suitable place to use them, otherwise he would definitely scare people.

"It looks like a malfunction in the medical equipment."

Seeing this, Phil Coulson breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was ordered by Nikolai to come to rescue Hornstark, and if anything went wrong, he would have a hard time explaining it when he returned.

"I think you really need to get his head checked."

Undeniably, Hornstark was the most handsome man Natasha had ever seen in all her years, but he was also the most narcissistic.

After saying that, she turned her head away and didn't look at the other person again.

"We'll be landing soon, then we'll give you a thorough check-up."

Pepper Potts was still worried.

Tony Stark has been missing for so many days now, his fate unknown, so Horn can't afford to get hurt too.

"Really, it's not necessary, Pepper. You can trust me."

Horn is waiting to go back and test the [Naval Six Styles]. If he continues to test it, who knows when it will take.

"Okay, but if you feel unwell anywhere, you must get checked out immediately, okay?"

Seeing Horn's serious gaze, Pepper Potts, who had originally intended to insist on examining him, gradually softened his tone.

"Don't worry, Pepper."

Horn smiled.

……

It's 11 p.m.

buzz-

The helicopter landed at a beachfront villa in Queens, New York.

This was also a house Tony gave him. Although it couldn't compare to the manor he received for his tenth birthday, it still covered nearly 4,000 square meters, making it convenient for him to attend university here.

Pepper Potts originally intended for him to go back to Tony's seaside villa built on the cliff with her, but it was a bit far from theirs, so he naturally didn't want to waste time there and decided to make this their destination instead.

"Master Horn, Miss Pepper."

As soon as the two got off the helicopter, Happy, who had been waiting for them, came to greet them.

Especially after seeing that Horn was safe and sound, you could clearly feel that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Like Tony and Pepper, Happy practically watched him grow up and they are very close.

Especially when Tony and Pepper didn't have time, they would occasionally take him to the amusement park.

"Happy, protect Horn."

Pepper Potts nodded and gave his earnest instructions.

"Don't worry, Miss Pepper."

Happy nodded.

"Horn, I've already arranged for you to stay home from school for the next few days. Get some rest and don't wander off."

Pepper turned to face Horn beside her, straightened his clothes, and patted the dust off his body.

"I will be good."

Horn said with a smile.

A few minutes later, the helicopter engine roared up again, and Pepper Potts waved goodbye to him.

Now that Tony is missing, there are many things in the company that she needs to handle, so she can't stay by Horn's side all the time. Otherwise, after something like this happened, she would definitely protect Horn by her side and never leave him.

"Happy, hurry up and get me a batch of weapons from the weapons department. I need them for tomorrow."

After watching the helicopter disappear into the night sky, Horn turned his gaze away and then spoke to Happy.

"Okay... Huh? What!? You want to request a batch of weapons?"

Happy thought Horn was going to take a shower and rest, so he instinctively nodded in agreement. But instead, Horn asked him to transfer a batch of weapons.

Does this sound like something an eighteen-year-old would say?

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes wide with surprise.

"You heard me right. I need a batch of weapons. You'll find out exactly what I'm going to do with them in a few days. Also, you absolutely must keep this a secret from me. Don't let Pepper know, or you'll be in big trouble."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Horn's face, sending chills down Happy's spine.

Many unpleasant memories came to mind.

Examples include having a note stuck to your back that says "I'm a big idiot" during work hours, or waking up to find a big doodle drawn on your face.

In his memory, Horn was a complete devil when he was a child.

He became much more sensible as he grew up, but who knows if he will turn into a demon again, leaving him with a memory he will never forget?

"No problem, I'll definitely deliver it to you before tomorrow morning."

Happy shuddered, then nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice.

Based on his understanding of Horn, he knew there must be a reason for him doing this, and he believed that Horn would not use these weapons to do anything illegal or criminal.

Otherwise, even if you put a knife to his neck, he would never agree to this request.
