Manic music echoed through the ballroom, and young men and women clashed with cups and bottles under the colorful lights.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the party of Sleepless Nights!"

A tall figure slowly ascended to the stage, and the speech was transmitted through the microphone in front of him throughout the hall.

The music is getting quieter, but the atmosphere of the party is getting stronger, especially when the "host" of the party appears, and the cheers reach its peak.

"Stark——, Iron Man—"

The crowd gathered together shouted noisily, and it was obvious that there were not a few fans of Iron Man at the scene.

Unlike the "vigilantes" who hide in dark corners and silently fight crime, Iron Man, who is also a superhero, is really high-profile and excessive.

In the beginning, Iron Man usually acted at night, after all, he wanted to disrupt the secret dealings between arms companies and terrorists, and most people are used to doing this kind of shady things at night.

Later, with Iron Man's successive attacks, the rampant arms trade has been reined in, and more and more illegal transactions are hidden in regular business by arms dealers in batches and small shares, so that Iron Man has no reason to do it.

However, as a cosmopolitan city, New York has never had a shortage of thugs who took risks.

Although Tony despises the backward weapons in the hands of those people, it has to be said that they are indeed very powerful to the people.

As a result, more and more actions to fight crime were put in the daytime by Tony.

And not just for deterrence.

Tony, the guy who slipped the door and picked the lock, smashed the store and grabbed the bag at night, really didn't have the time to care, and the tax he handed over to the police didn't make them sit in the office drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

Only those thugs who carry out heavy firepower in the downtown area during the day will attract Iron Man's action, after all, if they are left alone, by the time the police, who are not even equipped with semi-automatic weapons, subdue the gangsters, I am afraid that there will not be many people left in the busy streets.

Moreover, Tony has always had reservations about the police's ability to subdue thugs with heavy firepower, and has never intended to test the lives of New Yorkers.

This has led to the increasingly high-profile Iron Man who has been reported by the media, and Tony Stark's popularity has also increased, so envious that a group of "vigilantes" who have to choose to mask their true identities because they are afraid of the revenge of criminals do not want to.

Nowadays, the receptive people of New York are accustomed to the red iron man flying low on the streets from time to time, and Iron Man's popularity is even as high as that of Captain America back then.

Although Tony is far inferior to Steve Rogers' status and fame in the hearts of the American people because of personality and other reasons, his number of fans in the teenager group who like "cool" elements can completely compete with the American team.

Especially after Iron Man blew up more than a dozen laboratories researching new armors a few days ago and exposed their research methods, the average age of Tony's fan group has increased a lot, and even young people who have entered society and work are very admired for his righteous behavior of "even the military is correct".

This can be heard from the loud shouts of "Iron Man" at the scene.

You know, even if Tony's party didn't involve business conversations, it was all about executives of large companies and their children, as well as children from many government officials' families.

They are between 20 and 45 years old, but even if they are not young and have not been rescued by Iron Man, there are still many fans of "Iron Man", and there is even a trend to go beyond the worship of billionaire and genius scientist Tony Stark.

Hearing the shouts of the people, Tony was very happy.

He is a person who likes to be followed, and whether people under the stage shout "Tony Stark" or "Iron Man", he is full of a sense of accomplishment.

The crowd quieted down as Tony pondered whether to say something or just show off his new suit he had made for the ball.

"Oh my gosh, my dress. ”

"Ah, help. ”

......

Standing on the stage, Tony could clearly see that the crowd that had been gathered together was gradually separating to the sides, as if he had been driven away in some way.

In a daze, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy had already appeared in front of the crowd, obviously the culprit of the riot just now.

"Kid," Tony, who came back to his senses, pointed to the large champagne bottle that the boy hugged around his chest, which was the reason for the other party to get through the crowd so quickly, "That's not for you, and while I'd love to admit you're old enough to drink, the height problem that comes with that might make it harder for you to deal with." ”

"Hahaha-"

The crowd burst into laughter, making Tony teased each other even more interested: "Put it down, kid, maybe you can try Coke and juice, and drink until you're eighteen years old, if you don't want to keep your height at your current height!"

A boy in his early sixties is not short according to his age, but who made him wear a suit that covers his knees, and it looks like a naughty child has stolen the clothes of the adults in the family to play a game of playing at home.

What's even more interesting to Tony is that the boy is obviously much more skinny than he thinks, and ordinary children have long been amused by what he just said under the gaze and laughter of so many people, but the other party not only didn't seem to hear it, but also happily held the wine bottle and threw the wine at the people around him who were laughing at him just now.

Pepper Potts was also close to the stage, and she couldn't dodge the champagne that drenched her chest, allowing the underwear inside her shirt to shine through.

"Ah...... Red ......"

Tony whistled and teased.

But gloating, he apparently forgot that the microphone was on his lips, so the whole hall heard it.

Even if no one else except the people around her knew what Tony meant, Pepper was still embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, and she gritted her teeth as she looked at Tony on the stage, as if she would pounce on him at any moment and bite him to death.

"Uh......"

Tony, who was stared at by Pepper and had a chill down his spine, subconsciously moved, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the boy who was still attacking others with champagne, and was so angry that he almost smashed the microphone in front of him.

"Are you only bullying the weak?

Tony, who thought of a way to divert Pepper's attention, immediately implemented it, yelled at the mischievous boy in front of the crowd, and selectively ignored the height of the other party, who was only up to the chest of an adult: "Iron Man will teach you why you should keep to yourself!"

The boy stopped throwing the liquid around, turned around, looked at Tony with a grin, and raised the huge champagne bottle in his hand at him.

"Hahaha, you're doing it the wrong way, kid, you're only spilling your own wine!"

When he saw the boy holding the slender bottle upside down to himself, Tony laughed without any regard for the other party's feelings.

He thought that this boy was really stupid and funny, and he would actually point the mouth of the bottle at himself and the bottom of the bottle at the "enemy" because of nervousness.

Tony's smile quickly froze on his face, though, as he suddenly realized that the bottom of the bottle facing him was not sealed glass, but a black muzzle.

Tony, who is also a master weapon designer, subconsciously figured out the structure of this rudimentary weapon, the huge bottle is divided into two parts, the upper part still serves the function of holding wine, and the lower part is a modified hand cannon, and the muzzle is the bottom of a normal wine bottle.

What are you kidding, make a hand cannon out of glass, isn't he afraid of blowing up the chamber?

But at this time, Tony had no time to consider whether the other party was a madman or an extremist who planned to sacrifice his life for the "faith", you know, the boy was in front of the crowd at this time, and once the gradually blue muzzle exploded, the glass shards affected by the impact force would fly around, and the power was no less than that of a strafing bullet.

On top of that, Pepper is right next to the stage not far from the boy and is definitely one of the first targets to be baptized by the "Glass Storm".

"Lying down—"

"Jarvis, let go of the information transmission blockade, give me my left arm, go and equip Pepper!"

Tony's hoarse roar shook the ballroom and the incessant shouting even caused his brain to suffer a brief lack of oxygen.

Although the ballroom was newly leased for Tony's party, it was taken over by Jarvis before Stark stepped into the room.

Tony's order was carried out at maximum speed, and while the second half of the bottle, which had almost completely turned blue, was still accumulating energy for the final release, the red and gold armor flying from behind the stage had already armed Pepper, and the only missing left arm armor was also loaded on Tony's body.

With Tony's reminder, the first time they saw the blue light at the bottom of the wine bottle, people subconsciously cowered on the ground as he commanded, without causing more serious riots and stampedes due to panic.

"Tony ......"

Pepper, who was protected inside the steel suit, not only did not relax because the situation became safe, but looked at Tony, who was still standing on the stage, but only loaded with the armor of his left arm, and sobbed quietly.

She didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of affecting Tony's concentration.

Trying to get the suit back to its owner, but Jarvis, who had been ordered by Tony, couldn't do what she told him to do.
