"It's good to be back, you miss me so much."

After starting to speak, Tony tidied up his clothes. Then he said in a serious and calm tone.

"I didn't say that the world has finally maintained a ······, uh, long-term state of peace for many years because of me, Iron Man."

Just after the opening words of this sentence, the audience burst into a warm applause, and after the applause had subsided a little, Tony continued.

"I didn't say that there is no one in the world like me, who has been reborn like a phoenix in flames."

As he spoke, Tony closed his eyes, then raised his hands to meet the cheers and applause from the audience.

"I didn't even say that the U.S. government, the FBI, and the CIA can be so leisurely, because I can always stay at the top, so no one dares to challenge me."

"I love you, Iron Man!"

At this time, Tony's arrangement began to lead the rhythm.

"Okay, please, I'm not that important, you guys aren't important, we don't matter. What matters is legacy, what we leave to the next generation. So from next year, for the first time since 1974.

From different countries and companies around the world, the best people will provide their resources and share their vision to create a better future.

So it doesn't matter to us······

I would like to say, welcome to Stark Messy! ”

In the face of the cheers below, Tony resumed his serious tone.

"Next, a special guest will return from a past life to explain all this to you.

Please welcome my father, Howard Stark! ”

Tony then waved his hand at the big screen behind him, temporarily stepping back from the main stage in the lit up.

After stepping off the stage, Tony took out a blood test device at any time to check his blood palladium level. Looking at the blood palladium concentration, which had risen to 19, Tony was a little silent.

"What's wrong, the concentration has gone up again? All you have to do now is use less of your iron sheet, you know, the more power you use that reactor, the faster the concentration rises. ”

At this time, Clark walked out from Tony's back, and he knew that in a normal life, the palladium concentration released by the reactor in Tony's chest would not rise so quickly.

After all, a piece of palladium only has so much energy, and if you use one piece a month, the blood will rise so many toxins in a month. But if you use one piece for 10 days, the concentration of palladium in the blood will rise by a factor of 3 in that month.

And in terms of Tony's frequency of use, it can basically be changed in a few days, and if it goes on like this, Clark is afraid that he will not survive the day when Fury comes to him and discovers a new element.

However, Clark also knew that he was thinking too much, after all, Fury had been spying on Tony all the time. He was actually afraid that Tony would hang up, but he planned to wait until Tony was about to lose his ability to show up, after all, sending charcoal in the snow is more valuable than icing on the cake.

As for why Clark didn't tell Tony directly, it was because Clark didn't know what to say to Tony. For example, how did he know, if Clark also inherited Krypton's technology, then he could only say that he could see it himself. But Clark didn't, so Clarke, who had also seen the city map, couldn't tell that it was a new element map.

"I'm happy now, am I?"

Tony, who knew what Clark meant, didn't answer Clarke's question head-on, because he had his own ideas. If he was so easily convinced, he wouldn't be Tony Stark.

"Okay." Clark, who had only mentioned it casually, did not continue on this topic. "By the way, is Banner home now?"

"Unfortunately, he disappeared in the afternoon, who doesn't know where he went, maybe he went out for a walk."

Speaking of Banner, Tony could only shrug his shoulders.

"Okay, I don't think there's anything going on here, so I'll go back first."

After announcing the start of the opening ceremony, all that was left was a bar-like jumping session, and Clark, who didn't like such noisy occasions, prepared to go back first.

"That's right, I'm going to leave too, together."

"No, there are too many things to talk with you, so I'd better go alone." With that, Clark waved at Tony and left.

Looking at Clark who was leaving, Tony smiled and said, "Harpy, let's go too." ”

······

"It's finally out!"

After making his way through the crowd, Clark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Tony, who was surrounded by people not far behind him, Clark smiled happily, but fortunately he didn't go with him.

Early the next morning, Clark turned on the TV and saw the debate in the news about Tony's steel suit in the Senate Armed Services Committee.

On the other side of the world, Ivan watches Tony's arguments on TV as he assembles his humble armor. With the electric whip successfully activated after turning on the switch, the corners of Ivan's mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile, and then turned around and slammed the TV that was playing the news.

Tony Stark······· Wait for me! ”

Looking at the TV set that had been cut in half with a whip, Ivan's mouth couldn't help but spit Tony's name.

After tidying up a bit, Ivan went out, he was going to get something.

But as soon as he reached the agreed place with the other party, he found himself as if he was surrounded by people.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the group of people surrounding him, Ivan's hand couldn't help but reach behind his back. But after discovering his movements, the group of people who surrounded him all pulled out their guns and pointed them at Ivan's head. Looking at this suit, Ivan Vanke also raised his hands and gave up resisting.

"Sir, I think you'd better not move, or the hands of these men with guns will shake with fear. And then it's not good to 'snap', isn't it, Ivan Vanko. ”

Just after Ivan raised his hands, a man in a suit walked out of the crowd.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Justin Hammer, and I'm now the CEO of Hammer Industries." After introducing himself, Justin Hammer walked up to Ivan and held out his right hand to Ivan.

But just as Ivan had a little reaction, Justin Hammer withdrew his right hand.

"Oh, sorry, forgot you weren't convenient right now."

Probably feeling too close to Ivan and unsafe, Justin Hammer couldn't help but take a few steps back and return to his side.

"I've got word here, and it says that you seem to have developed an Iron Man weapon that is not inferior to Tony Stark. And you don't seem to be too friendly to Tony because of your father, right?

You help me develop the Iron Cloak, and I'll help you deal with Tony, it's a good deal. ”

Ivan turned his head to look around at the people around him, and then said to Justin Hammer, "Do I still have a choice?" ”

"I'm glad you were able to recognize what was best for you so quickly." Just then, a man came up to Justin Hammer and said something to him.

After listening to this man's words, Justin Hammer couldn't help but smile on his face, and then looked at Ivan: "Then let's go." ”

"Wait, I'm going back and clean up." Ivan, who was besieged, just planned to give in first, and then as soon as he put on that armor, these people were simply scum.

"No need, we'll pack your luggage for you, I have to say, that armor of yours is beautiful." After Justin Hammer's words, Ivan knew that he had no chance to resist, so he could only obediently follow Justin Hammer's people.

Seeing the successful capture of Ivan Vanke, a talent who can develop a reactor alone, and the half-finished battle armor, Justin Hammer couldn't help but smile on his face.

Just thinking of not knowing who passed the message to him, Justin Hammer's face sank again.
