After three hours and forty minutes of high-altitude flight, the plane finally reached the destination. Leo looked at the neon lights and runway lights below the plane, and couldn't help but get a little excited.

But looking at his height of 1.25 meters, he wilted again.

After getting off the plane, the three of them went straight to the booked hotel and put down their luggage. Jenny and George looked at the Sky Tower outside the French window and hugged each other fiercely.

There were two rooms in the small suite. Leo moved in the one inside. He has to go through Uncle George's room to go out.

George glanced at his watch and lay on the bed, "Leo, rest early!"

"Uncle George, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps. At night, it's the busiest time. At this point, many businesses are not open!" George stretched out.

"I have arranged everything, and we will leave at six o'clock. After eating a delicious buffet, I will show you the musical fountain!"

"There are pirate shows and volcanic eruptions, and roller coasters, Leo, go to bed!!" Jenny pushed Leo gently into the suite inside, "This place is no better than New York. You can't go out alone. Las Vegas is called Sin City!"

In the room, Leo took out the map prepared by the hotel. "Tony Stark shouldn't go to low-level casinos. There are seven top-level hotels and casinos. Let me think about where he will come from."

　　...

Two days later, George and the others slept until 12 o'clock in the morning, and the room service had delivered breakfast, and lunch.

Leo, who got up early, had finished eating. He continued to look at the photos on his mobile phone. He was looking at the entrances of the two hotels. "The decorations at the entrances of these two houses look like they all have statues of these fountains!"

"Leo, why do you get up so early every day? Yesterday you even went to a few casino gates to have a look. Are you looking for something?" George asked, biting a cake in his mouth.

"Yeah, I heard that Tony Stark is also in Las Vegas. Before I wanted to see him, I couldn't enter the door of his company. Maybe I can see him today!!"

"Why do you want to see that playboy? There is no intersection between us and his rich man!" Aunt Jenny said.

"It's okay, just give him a model, which was prepared for him a long time ago!"

"Okay, but we can't delay too long. Will we have to catch a plane at noon tomorrow?"

"Well, don't worry!!"

Leo selected a few times and left the last photo. It was the New York Hotel in Las Vegas. "I heard that there is a party tonight!!"

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Leo and his uncle and aunt came to the entrance of the New York Hotel, there was a fountain in the center, and the human statues carved out of white marble around them, the most important of which was the blonde reporter hiding aside, Leo's face also had a smile appearing on it after seeing her.

Striding over to the reporter, "Hello, sister reporter!"

Christine Everhart looked at the little child in front of him, then glanced at her chest again. She didn't bring her ID with her!

She squatted down and looked at Leo, "Hello, little guy, how do you know that I am a reporter?"

"I remember you from when I saw you on TV!!"

Christine smiled and looked at the little brother in front of him, "Why are you here alone, where are your parents? It's dangerous here, go back!"

Leo waved his hand and greeted Uncle George on the side of the road, "Are you waiting for someone here?"

"This is a secret, you go back quickly, this is not a suitable place for children to play!" Christine looked at the manuscript in her hand.

Leo smiled too, and stood silently behind Christine.

Christine didn't pay too much attention to Leo. She looked at the manuscript in her hand intently. The news that she had finally found out could not be influenced by Leo.

Leo's mood was excited, and he was about to see the real Tony Stark, the Iron Man who was like a mortal and a god'.

The time passed, and finally at around eleven o'clock in the evening, when Jenny wanted to come up and take Leo back, there was finally a movement at the hotel door.

Tony Stark walked out with a sulky burgundy shirt and black suit jacket, a pair of light red sunglasses, a big back and a mustache.

Happy walked in front, followed by three big bodyguards in straight suits, striding towards the black Rolls Royce not far away.

Leo's eyes lit up and he gently pushed Christine, who was still looking at the information.

Christine also reacted, hurriedly stuffing the information into the bag, and hurriedly followed in high heels.

"Mr. Stark, excuse me, Mr. Stark!" Finally she called out Stark before he got into the car.

"I'm Christine Everhart, a reporter for Vanity Fair. May I ask you a few questions?"

Leo followed behind in no hurry, like a little follower.

Tony has no intention of turning around

Happy leaned forward and said, "She's cute!!"

"Really?" Hearing this sentence, Tony, who didn't want to pay attention, turned around with interest.

"Hi" Stark has a smile on his face

"Hi" Christine replied

"Well, let her come over!" Stark waved before the bodyguard let go.

Leo also followed smoothly, but the small man firmly caught Tony Stark's gaze.

Christine had just arrived in front of Stark and hurriedly interviewed, "Some people call you a modern Leonardo. What do you think of this?"

Stark turned his gaze from Leo to the reporter, looked at her beautiful face, and said with a smile, "Somehow, I don't paint."

"Then what about another nickname,'Merchant of Death'? What do you think?"

Stark lifted his chin slightly, "That's not bad, I guess you are Berkeley?"

"It's Brown University!"

"Well, Miss Brown!" Stark looked at Christine and said solemnly. "This world is not perfect, but we have no choice. I promise you that if one day we don't have to trade weapons for peace, I will rebuild the children's hospital!"

Leo couldn't help covering his mouth with a serious smile.

Christine narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you practiced this many times?"

"I practice in the mirror before going to bed every day." Stark replied without hesitation.

After listening, Leo's eyes narrowed even more, and Stark couldn't help but glance at Leo.

Christine replied, "I can see it!"

"I want to take you to see with my own eyes!" Stark stared into her eyes seriously.

"Can you answer more seriously!" Christine flushed.

"Ok, to answer you seriously, my father has a philosophy of life,'Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy'"

"That's a great line coming from the guy selling the sticks."

"My dad helped defeat the Nazis and participated in the Manhattan Project. Many people, including your university professor, would call that being a,... wait, wait, is this kid who is laughing all the time yours? "Stark said, but suddenly pointed at Leo who was smiling.

Looking at Leo's mouth, Stark said: "I have tolerated you for a long time, kid! Is it really funny? Can't interviews have some professionalism?"

Christine saw Leo, who had been following him, hurriedly said to Stark, "Mr. Stark, I don't know this kid, I don't know who he is!"

"Sorry, Mr. Stark, I came in with the reporter on purpose. I want to chat with you alone!" Leo smiled and looked up at Tony Stark.

Stark looked at Leo, and the people around him took a few steps back. Only Happy was still with him. He was closer to Leo than Stark.

"Mr. Stark, I actually want to say that people only know how to grow when they have experienced hardships!" Leo looked at Stark, who was still arrogant.

"What?" Tony looked puzzled.

Leo took out an exquisite metal model from his pocket and handed it to Stark, "Give it to you, Mr. Stark!"

Stark put his hands behind him, and took a step back, "Oh, I don't like others handing me things!"

Happy reluctantly stepped forward and took the things in Leo's hand, then changed hands to Stark's hands, and Tony took it.

"A small metal model, for you, goodbye, I believe we will see you again." Leo watched Stark take it. After saying this, he hurriedly left and returned to George not far away.

Stark glanced at the metal model in his hand and was about to throw it on the car, but the exquisite shape and feel made him feel unwilling to throw it away.

Christine came up again, "Sorry, can we continue?"

"Of course you continue!"

After thinking about it, he continued, "But many people say that you are a war profiteer!"

Tony took off his glasses and said seriously, "Tell me, why don't you report that we have saved millions of lives with advanced medical technology, or used smart crops to solve famine problems? These are all military funding. Yes, my dear!"

Christine was instantly attracted by the serious Tony under the glasses, and a special light appeared in his eyes.

Leo saw Christine getting in Tony's luxury car, looking at the cars going away, but silently said in his heart, "I look forward to your return, Iron Man!"
