United States.

Somewhere at a military base, Howard Stark, who was already full of gray hair, walked out of the base building, and a short-haired lady walked with him, she was about forty or fifty years old, exuding an intellectual temperament.

Of course, Howard's side must be indispensable to his most trusted butler and assistant, Jarvis.

It's just that this thin, taciturn old butler looks more like a background board, barely attracting anyone's attention.

“…… Dr. Lawson, Project Pegasus has just made significant progress, I wonder when the first test flight will be available? Howard looked at the middle-aged woman beside him.

The middle-aged woman known as Dr. Lawson smiled, "We have found the best test pilot, her name is Carol Danvers, and I believe it won't be long before we can test the light-speed engine." ”

Howard: "It's definitely an epic step forward. I guess even on the entire universe, the light-speed engine is a revolutionary creation. ”

"Yes." Dr. Lawson nodded, his tone revealing yearning, "I believe it will bring benefits to all civilizations." ”

The two talked, then went their separate ways.

After separating from Dr. Lawson, Howard and Jarvis get into a black sedan and drive away. But instead of going home, he went to another workplace.

This is a commonplace for Howard Stark. As the founder of Stark Industries, and one of the founders of the Strategic Science Corps, these two identities alone are enough to keep him busy all day.

Not to mention his many other identities, such as philanthropist, scientist, IEEE chairman...... Even if he is extremely intelligent, he will inevitably be incapable of facing so many responsibilities.

"How's Tony doing?" A bumpy road ride reminded Howard that he had a son.

"He recently wanted to go to Cambridge University to study economics." Jarvis said.

Howard frowned when he heard this: "Didn't he study electrical at MIT, why did he suddenly want to go to the UK to study economics?" ”

Jarvis was silent for a moment: "Tony has graduated from MIT, and with the highest score, Mr. Stark. ”

Howard paused, blinked, and then seemed to remember the stubble.

"Mr. Stark, you should care more about Tony, everyone wants their father's attention, and Tony is the same." Jarvis said again.

"You're right." Howard nodded, but then frowned and didn't say a word.

Although Howard was admired for his extraordinary achievements in many fields, he was a failed father in the family.

Of course, there are objective reasons for this, but it is more of Howard's own problem.

He has been a father for more than ten years, but he has not adapted to this identity, and has not handled the relationship with his son well, and the relationship between father and son has always been cold.

He also knew that this was bad, and he had done more than one reflection and even made a series of elaborate and grand plans for parent-child interaction, but the result was that none of them were actually put into practice.

Now that Tony Stark has grown up, a lot of the father's care seems a little too late for a son who has already grown up.

"Ugh." Howard's mood gradually became a little low, and he finally sighed.

Maybe he is a failed father......

……

"Father, you must not let this villain go!" Thor said to Odin, pointing to Igo who was kneeling in front of him.

Igo continued, and his tone sounded quite sincere: "I am remorseful for my past crimes, merciful Odin, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Luo Wei looked at Iago, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and still felt a little unimaginable.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem too surprising. If he's not mistaken, in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", Iago also begged for mercy before he died.

When facing the Guardians of the Galaxy, Igo still begged for mercy, so it was not surprising that he knelt in front of the god-king Odin.

Killing children, killing wives, kneeling and begging for mercy...... This guy is really undisciplined, he can do anything.

Luo Wei naturally didn't want to let Igo go like this, and said: "Your Majesty, he has such a sinful and brutal past, we shouldn't believe his so-called repentance. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Even if Igo is sincere in his confession, this should not be a reason for pardon, and confession is obviously too cheap compared to the suffering of the victims. ”

But Odin didn't seem to think so, he looked at Igo who was kneeling on the ground, and frowned slightly for a while, probably thinking about something.

Igo bowed his head and said, "As a sign of my sincerity, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you, Your Majesty Odin, and I am willing to obey any of your commands." ”

Odin's expression moved slightly.

He didn't really need Igo's allegiance, after all, he was already six thousand years old anyway, and he didn't have much time left. The most important thing for him is the family and the future of Asgard.

As the end of his life approached, some terrible foreshadowings gradually unfolded in Odin's heart.

He was almost certain that Ragnarok was close at hand, and he might not have had a chance to do anything about it.

Perhaps, subduing Igo is a good choice. Igo's power is very powerful, no less than the flame giant Surter in his peak state, and such power will definitely affect the direction of Ragnarok.

After thinking about it, despite the repeated persuasion of Rowe and Thor, Odin changed his initial decision.

"Igo, are you loyal to me?"

Igo hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Odin pondered for a moment: "Loyal to me, you must renounce all evil deeds, or I can still execute you, understand?" ”

"Understand, I will repent and will not repeat the mistakes of the past." Igo said.

Odin nodded, then flicked the Eternal Spear, and a golden light melted into the ground and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What is this?" Igo looked at the golden light that melted into his body, and his face was a little terrified.

"It's just a mark, and the existence of this mark will keep you under the watchful eye of the Rainbow Bridge forever." Odin said.

Igo was stunned, speechless for a moment.

Both Rowe and Thor were still unwilling, and Thor stepped forward and said, "Father, you shouldn't trust him, he-"

Odin interrupted, "Under the supervision of the Rainbow Bridge, we can convince anyone with virtue. ”

Seeing that Odin had made up his mind, the two had no choice but to give up.

It seems that it will be possible to get rid of Igo after Odin's death...... Luo Wei thought to himself. He still couldn't trust and tolerate Igo, but apparently, there was no way to get rid of this guy for the time being.

"Igo, those wanderers are your handiwork, aren't they?" Luo Wei asked.

Igo was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll let them out of the battlefield immediately." ”
