Chapter 102: Purposefulness

"Strange masked men are on the streets of New York to fight bank robbers." β€”The New York Times.

"Halloween early farce? Shoddy drag freaks! β€”The Daily Clarion.

The appearance of the little spider, not surprisingly received the attention of the media, this fledgling superhero, with its eccentric shape successfully appeared on the pages of major media in New York, of course, most of the media did not leave too many good words, especially the Clarion Daily, which criticized the little spider as worthless from beginning to end.

Its position of "small worm black" can be glimpsed from the early days.

"Peter, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Auntie, I just accidentally fell out of bed."

"Be careful."

"Got it." Answering his aunt Mae Parker on the first floor, Peter turned his head to look at the mocking headline of the daily newspaper in his hand, gritted his teeth, and secretly resolved that he must change his uniform.

"I'm going to surprise you next time."

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the legend that jumped every once in a while on the data panel, and his expression was indifferent.

In fact, it is not only the little spider who is in the newspaper, but also the steel rod Xie Lu has also appeared in the media reports. It's just that in the chaotic scene at that time, the scene of the steel rod blocking the bullet was not seen by many people, and second, in terms of topicality, [Xie Lu] holding the steel rod obviously can't be compared with the weirdly dressed little spider.

So although the media have reported it, many of them have only been brushed aside, and the attention caused by them is not as high as that of small worms.

In this regard, Li Ran's emotions are both regret and happiness.

It's a pity that if it is really reported, Li Ran will undoubtedly get a lot of legends, even if the legends gained through the dissemination of the media are not as many as what is actually seen, but after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and the cumulative accumulation is also a lot of legend.

Of course, if things do turn out like this.

The identity of [Xie Lu] will definitely not be able to stay quietly in front of Stark Industries.

After all, the reason why Li Ran arranged for the doppelganger [Xie Lu] to go to Stark Industries to drive a fast food truck was because in addition to the daily legend of Tony, it was also a bit of surveillance. Tony, as the future Iron Man, is a part of most of the major battles, and keeping an eye on Tony can help Li Ran understand the direction of most events in the future, and at the same time, let him prepare in advance, so as to lay the groundwork and harvest the legend.

After all, compared to the Hulk who is still on the run, or Captain America who is still lying in the Arctic spaceship, or even Thor, who is far away in Asgard and has not even touched the edge of the earth.

Tony can be regarded as the most high-profile of the Avengers, although in the future, he will suffer because of his excessive profile.

But from Li Ran's point of view, such a high profile just helps him to observe the layout secretly.

……

It was night, in a camp in Afghanistan.

Obadiah appeared surrounded by loaded guns.

"Welcome."

The man with the burn on his face stepped forward, sensing Obadia's gaze and pointing to the wound on his face: "This is a gift from Mr. Tony Stark. ”

"If you had killed him according to my plan, you wouldn't have burned your face." Frowning, Obadiah couldn't help but speak.

"The money you gave us wasn't enough to buy Tony Stark's life."

Shaking his head, the man replied with a cold face.

"Show me the weapon you talked about."

Sensing that there was no point in continuing to talk about the matter, Obadiah turned his mouth to the point. He took the risk to come to Afghanistan, not to quarrel with the other side, and a few days ago a mysterious Iron Man suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the Middle East and successfully defeated the local militants.

"Come on, but your people must all stay outside."

Waving his hand and letting the bodyguard behind him stay outside, Obadiah tidied up his clothes and followed the man into the tent without hesitation.

Immediately, he noticed the steel armor in the center, and although the shape of the suit was rather rough, Obadiah immediately connected it with the armor that had appeared in the Middle East a few days earlier.

"This is another gift left by Mr. Tony Stark's escape, a masterpiece of death."

……

"Tony."

New York, Cliff House, Basement.

Pepper finds Tony Stark, who is adjusting his armor.

"Are you busy, can you do something for me?" Hearing Pepper's voice, Tony stood up and took out the gear that had been prepared a long time ago: "I want you to go to my office, hack into the console, and get all the recent shipping lists, this is the lock chip, which can get you hacked in...... Probably in the executor, or else it's on top of the ghost drive, in which case you'll have to look up the title......"

Reaching out to take the chip, Pepper looked at Tony in front of him and asked with a worried expression, "If I get this data back, what will you do?" ”

"It's still the same." Turning to continue adjusting his armor, Tony replied, "They're operating in the dark, I'm going to stop them, find those weapons, and destroy them." ”

"Tony, you know I'm willing to do anything for you, but if you're on your own, I can't continue to help you."

"I just need you to help me do such a thing, is it so difficult?!"

What happened during this period of time seemed to make Tony's mood extremely unstable, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and yelled at Pepper.

"Okay, then I'll resign."

Raising his hand and putting the chip down in his hand, Pepper replied.

"You've been by my side for so many years watching me reap the benefits of destruction, and now I've changed my mind and want to protect those who are in danger because of me, but you're leaving?"

"You're going to kill your own Tony." Stopping, Pepper said to Tony.

During this time, because of Tony's actions, Stark Industries has been on the verge of crisis.

"I should have died a long time ago, the reason why I survived, unless there is a special meaning in it, I didn't go crazy Pepper, I finally know now, what I have to do, so, Pepper help me, please."

In the face of Tony's request, the expression on Pepper's face struggled for a long time, and then he hesitated to pick up the chip again: "Hopefully, this time you won't lie to me again." ”

"Thank you, Pepper."
