Chapter 7: Meet Tony Again
Malibu Villas.
Stark entered his studio, turned on the computer, and asked, "Jarvis, are you awake?" β
"We're here for you." A man's voice came out of the speaker, and it was none other than Stark's intelligent butler Jarvis.
"Help me look up someone." Stark Road.
"Okay." Jarvis said.
"A week ago, at Caesars Casino in Las Vegas, I was met at the table...... Yes, this is the person. "As Stark spoke, Jarvis had hacked into the casino's surveillance system and displayed on the monitor all the people he had crossed paths with that night." Where is he now? β
"1024 Forty-second Street, Manhattan." Jarvis said.
"Sounds so familiar." Stark muttered.
"Because it's just across the street from Stark Industries." Jarvis said.
"Okay, help me check this person's information, call logs, emails, travel records, bank account transaction information, who have you met?" Stark Road. "Anyway, check everything I can find."
"Do you suspect he has a connection to the terrorists who kidnapped you?" Jarvis said.
"Maybe." Stark shook his head, paused, and added, "I always felt like he was hinting at me. β
"Got it." Jarvis said.
A list of information appears on the monitor.
"Only so much?" Stark glanced at it, surprised.
There is a pitiful amount of stuff on the information list.
"I can only find information from the last ten days, and there is nothing from ten days ago. Unless someone deletes all of their previous information and leaves no trace. Jarvis said.
"It can't be, no one can live for twenty years, leaving no trace at all. No one can delete information so cleanly that you can't even find it. Stark is definitely authentic.
"Then they suddenly appeared in this world a week ago." Jarvis said.
"That's the only possibility." Stark had a curious and excited look in his eyes, and said to himself, "Come on, let me see what he's been up to for more than a week...... There is nothing but ordering takeout, and they have never even gone out of the door, are they all so idle? Stark said.
"He also shorted Stark Industries' stock." Jarvis said.
"I know, I don't need you to remind me!" Stark has a black line. "Judging from the information available, this person is definitely not simple, even if he has nothing to do with terrorists, he must know something. Jarvis, give me close attention to him. β
"Yes." Jarvis said.
"For the time being, I'll go to him when I've got Mark 2nd ready." Stark muttered to himself.
β¦β¦
Tony Stark was a genius who improved the Ark Reactor in just one day, and the new Ark Reactor was dozens of times better than the old one in all aspects.
After he replaced the new Ark Reactor, he began to design and build a new Warframe.
In eleven days and thirty-seven tests, the second generation of the Mark was able to take to the air and fly freely, but when flying at high altitudes, it encountered icing problems.
"Contact the Sith company and ask them to re-select the shell material and change it to the gold-titanium alloy used in the Red Angel military satellite, which can not only meet the requirements of integration, but also maintain its power-to-weight ratio, understand?" With Tony Stark's IQ, it only takes one trial to find a problem and find a solution.
"Understood, do you display the pattern according to the required specifications?" Jarvis said.
"Okay." Stark Road.
At this time, a news news came on the TV.
"Tonight, Disney Concert Hall was covered with a fiery red carpet and was brightly lit and lively. Tony Stark's third annual charity show for the Firefighters' Family Foundation was held here, bringing together countless elites from high society and the stars were shining brightly...... "On TV, a female anchor is making a news broadcast.
"Jarvis, are we invited?" Stark noticed the news and couldn't help but ask.
"There are no records of any invitations." Jarvis said.
The promoter of the event recently spoke out at a press conference that caused controversy, and he has since disappeared, with some saying that he has suffered from the sequelae of a concussion and is bedridden. Whatever the situation, it's unlikely that I'll see him tonight. Channel 3, entertainment news reporters report for you. On TV, the female anchor continued.
The female anchor's words aroused Stark's rebellious mentality.
Concussion?
Bedridden?
Impossible to show up?
I have to go up and make an appearance today!
By this time, Jarvis had already assembled the renderings of Mark II.
"Start automatic assembly." After Stark looked at the renderings, he ordered the assembly.
"Yes, sir. The assembly has already begun, and it will take about five hours to complete. Jarvis said.
"Don't wait for me!"
Stark looked at the time, went to the garage and chose a sports car, and went straight to Disney Concert Hall.
β¦β¦
Disney Concert Hall, banquet scene.
"Have a glass of Scotch whisky!" Stark came to the bar and dropped a note in his cup.
"Stark, sir, what a coincidence, we meet again." Qi Fang greeted Stark with a smile, but there was no surprise in his tone, as if he knew he would appear here.
"Why are you here?" Stark asked in surprise when he saw Qi Fang.
"I'm an individual shareholder representative at Stark Industries, and they sent me an invitation letter. Recently, Stark Industrial's performance has not been very good, and the stock price is a bit low. They also wanted me to give a speech on stage to give the majority of shareholders a little confidence, but I refused. I don't think there's a need for that, as long as Tony Stark is around, Stark Industries' stock price will definitely go up, and it's going to be better than before. Qi Fang said.
"You seem to have more confidence than I am." Stark looked at him as if nothing had happened.
"Of course, I'm counting on Stark Industries' stock to make a big profit." Qi Fangdao.
"Could it be that my luck has gotten better?" Stark said.
"It's not, your luck is as bad as ever, and there will be a catastrophe soon, but with the help of nobles, you can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious." Qi Fang said with a smile.
"What kind of catastrophe is this time, is it another bomb attack?" Stark asked.
"No, judging from your face, this catastrophe is from within." Qi Fangdao.
"Internal?" Stark frowned.
"Yes. But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I can only remind you, protect your little heart, don't be snatched away. Qi Fang tapped his chest with his fingers, making a sound of hard objects colliding.
"How do you know these things?" Stark's face sank, and his tone was unkind.
"Don't get excited, pay attention to the image, I don't have any ill will." Qi Fang smiled faintly, his eyes fell on the banquet hall, and said, "Look over there, Miss Potts has noticed you, she seems to be waiting for you to invite her to dance." β
Stark followed his gaze and immediately spotted Pepper Potts in a backless evening gown, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Well, let's talk next time." Qi Fang took out a heart-shaped jade and threw it to Stark, saying, "Oh, by the way, this thing is for you." β
"What is this?" Stark Road.
"The amulet, break it when you're in trouble, it will give you strength, it's like beating adrenaline." Qi Fang said with a smile.
"What?" Stark was puzzled, he didn't understand how this thing worked.
"Go quickly, Miss Potts can't wait, it's late, be careful that she is asked to go." Qi Fang said.
"Okay." Stark put the amulet in his pocket, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and walked towards Pepper Potts.
After a dance, Vanity Fair reporter Christine approached Stark and gave him some photos.
The photo was taken in the town of Gemira, the hometown of Dr. Ethan, who saved Tony Stark's life in a cave in Afghanistan.
The photographs show the scene of the disaster and some of the munitions ---- weapons produced by Stark Industries.
The incident was related to the small town of Gemmila, which made Stark pay attention, and after looking at the photos, he was angry and immediately went to Obadiah to inquire about the situation. During this time, everything in Stark Industries was in charge of Obadiah.
"Tony, you can't always be so naΓ―ve. Do you know who petitioned the board to stop your work? It's me! I'm doing this to protect you. Obadiah didn't deny it, and indifferently told Stark that this was the way to do business.
When Stark returned home, he couldn't calm down, put on steel armor, and launched his first operation against criminals.
β¦β¦
"One of our Raptor aircraft crashed during a routine training session yesterday, but fortunately there were no casualties. As for the accident in Gmila, it is not clear who did it or what the motive was, but I can assure you that the main government of the United States has absolutely nothing to do with it. "At the press conference, Colonel Rhodes stood in front of the podium, talking serious nonsense.
"Iron Man is born!"
The next day, Qi Fang looked at the news report on TV, and said lightly: "Then, Obadiah should also start acting." β
Obadiah did get into action.
When Pepper goes to hack Stark's computer in search of evidence, he goes to Malibu Villa, paralyzes Stark with a paralyzer, and then takes out the Ark Reactor on his chest to power the Iron Overlord.
"'This catastrophe is from within', it turned out to be him!" Stark remembered what Qi Fang had said to him at the banquet, muttered to himself, and when his paralysis eased slightly, he took out a heart-shaped jade pendant from his pocket and fell to the ground with a "snap".
The jade pendant broke, and a creative force escaped from the jade pendant and burrowed into Stark's body, and he was like adrenaline, and he was suddenly full of energy.
"It's a pity that I didn't have time to make a new ark reactor, and now I don't have time, so I can only use this one to make up for it first." Stark sighed, mounted the old Ark Reactor on his chest, put on his armor, and headed for Stark Industrial Research at full speed.
