"Oh~ Shit! It's glowing!"
"This is the dumbest bet I've ever agreed to! My God..."
Inside the bathroom, Tony stared at the faint golden glow flickering across the engraved markings of the Virginity Mark in the mirror, cursing under his breath.
He really hadn't expected this.
The Sorcerer Supreme had merely snapped his fingers. A tiny speck of golden light had landed on his pants, and just like that, he was branded with such a vicious curse!
True love?! Could he just say that he had been completely bullshitting earlier?
He knew himself well, he could attract so many beautiful women willing to share his bed for one simple reason: his endless fortune!
But now, if it wasn't true love, standing up would come with unbearable pain. How was he supposed to keep living the playboy life? And there was an even more critical problem... What if... what if he felt pain when facing Pepper?!
A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.
After a long hesitation, Tony finally made a call to her, who was working at Stark Tower.
"Hey, Pepper, I have a very important question."
"Tony, I'm in the middle of a crucial board meeting. The market adoption for clean energy isn't ideal, you know that. So, you have one minute."
"Do you love me?"
"Fifty-five seconds."
"Hey~ I'm serious. This is important. My penis is being held hostage. If it's not true love, I'll be in pain for the rest of my life, this is a nightmare."
"Forty-five seconds."
"Can you come to Malibu? Use the Mark 6. I really need you!"
"Wait for me!"
Frantic footsteps echoed through the phone. The moment Pepper heard Mark 6, she knew Tony was in serious trouble.
Even though she still had no idea what was going on, she didn't hesitate for a second. She abandoned the important meeting, ran into the CEO's office, suited up in the Mark armor, and took off into the sky!
"Whew~" Tony leaned against the bathroom wall, gripping his phone tightly.
"Sir, my calculations show that there is an 87% chance Miss Potts will be angry when she finds out."
"And the remaining 13%?"
"Extremely angry."
"Did I get hit with some kind of psychological manipulation? This is terrible! I'm actually doubting my relationship with her. I can't even imagine what I'd do if the worst happened…" Tony splashed cold water onto his face, rubbing it messily.
Humans were like this. The more you cared about something, the more afraid you were of losing it.
He knew just how important she was to him, she was an irreplaceable part of his life. There were billions of people on Earth, but the only one he could trust completely was Pepper.
"According to my database calculations, there is a 75% probability that you and Miss Potts are truly in love."
"JARVIS, this isn't just a probability issue. This is a test of human nature, it's making me doubt something I've always believed in." Tony leaned against the wall, trying to calm himself. It took him a long time to suppress the chaos in his heart before he finally opened the bathroom door.
Looking at Wong, who stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, observing the party decorations, he sighed inwardly.
Maybe people who were completely abstinent had fewer troubles.
"Oh~ she's sexy," Wong murmured as his gaze locked onto a beautiful agent stepping out of a helicopter.
"…Aren't you celibate?" Tony's eyelid twitched. Had he misunderstood something?
"Celibacy is just part of my training. I have a fiancée." Wong turned to Tony, smiling slightly and nodding politely.
"..." Tony felt like he'd been played. And as he walked up to Wong... Seeing Natasha Romanoff step down from the helicopter, followed by Dr. Helen Cho, Dr. Wu Jiaqi, Maria Hill, and other SHIELD agents, he felt his whole body go numb. These women were all stunning, but they were also massive trouble, especially with SHIELD behind them!
"JARVIS, is today a SHIELD agent special?" Tony glanced at the already prepared party venue outside his mansion, feeling like the number of problems around him was piling up.
"Sir, the guest list was drafted by Mr. Kei."
A 3D hologram appeared before Tony. Looking at the list, starting with Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, followed by a long row of familiar names, he raised a hand and rubbed his forehead.
Yep. All SHIELD agents.
"As ordinary technology continues to advance and extraterrestrial threats approach, the Sorcerer Supreme intends to collaborate with SHIELD to address the impending crisis," explained Mordo, who had walked up beside Tony.
"Extraterrestrial threats?"
"Yes. The Eye of Agamotto has the ability to glimpse into the future."
"..." Tony opened his mouth but couldn't find the words. One moment, he discovered that Earth had mystical sorcerers, and the next, these people were telling him that aliens were coming?!
Was this even the same Earth he knew?!
Swoosh!
A sharp sonic boom tore through the clouds, originating from the direction of New York. Dressed in Mark 6 armor, Pepper dove down from the sky, quickly landing beside the helipad.
The moment she saw the SHIELD agents, her heart tightened.
Without a second thought, she rushed towards where Tony was standing. Seeing him running towards her as well, arms wide open, she instinctively did the same.
They embraced tightly.
Tony's helmet retracted, and without caring about the eyes watching them, the two kissed passionately.
A moment later, he let out a long breath, his expression more relaxed than ever, his arms clutching Pepper tightly, unwilling to let go.
"I'm sorry."
"Hmm? Don't tell me you have a kid somewhere." Pepper raised an eyebrow at his apology, feeling Tony's hand rubbing her waist. Her first instinct was that this untrustworthy man had relapsed into his old ways, partying too hard and causing trouble.
"No, no, no! You know me, ever since we got together, I've been completely loyal!"
"...Then what happened?"
"This Sorcerer Supreme."
Instead of answering, Tony simply wrapped an arm around Pepper's waist and looked toward Kei, who was casually leaning against the rooftop railing, watching the show.
"Be grateful to her. Otherwise, you'd be doomed for life." Kei glanced at Tony before lifting a hand and retrieving an enormous, smooth pearl, bigger than a human head, from his dimension.
Suspended in the air by mystical energy, the pearl was presented before the couple. Such an item would be incredibly valuable on Earth. But in the Naruto world, the summoning beast Shen had mountains of them, so many that they were uncountable.
Tony took the massive pearl, dropped to one knee before Pepper, and, after struggling for a long moment, finally spoke.
"Virginia Potts, will you marry me?"
"Haven't I already answered this a long time ago? I do." Pepper tilted her head slightly, her radiant smile blooming. The world's largest pearl didn't matter to her. But the man in front of her had truly captured her heart.
However...
"Sorcerer Supreme, may I call you that?"
"Of course." Kei observed Pepper as she suddenly turned to him, silently admiring her intelligence. Even in a moment of great emotion, she was still able to think rationally.
No wonder Tony had fallen so hard for her.
"May I ask... What exactly did Tony bet against you?"
"Just a small spell. You can consider it a gift for the two of you. Mmm... He will never again have the opportunity to party and fool around."
"...Oh?" Pepper's pupils contracted slightly as her mind immediately jumped to certain... ancient professions. If it was completely gone… then what could she use?
"Pepper! It's still there! My penis is still intact!"
