Chapter 21: Intelligence and the Blade

"It's palladium poisoning."

When Tony Stark faced the red-eyed Pepper and continued to insist that he was not lying, nor was he comforting, and was speechless, Wang spoke vigorously.

"The small nuclear reactor on Tony's chest uses palladium, which is toxic, as an essential core material."

"Toxins will spread all over Tony's body along Tony's bloodstream, and it's okay for a short time, but when the toxins accumulate to a certain extent, the consequences will be ......"

It's nothing more than a dead word.

Wang Dali didn't say the second half of the sentence, but a few people present could understand it.

After listening to Wang Dali's words, Pepper's emotions converged. Now that you know what this is all about, it's fine.

Even though it was time for lunch, she pulled Tony and walked out of the box.

"Let's go, let's go to the best hospital in the United States, and we will definitely be able to cure you."

"It's useless, Pepper."

Tony Stark, who was pulled up from the stool, shook his head, his expression visibly down.

"You haven't gone yet, how do you know it's useless!"

Glaring back at Stark, Pepper apologized to Wang Dali and Catherine.

"I'm sorry, auntie, vigorously. I don't feel comfortable taking Tony to the hospital, we ......."

"Pepper, even if you have to go to the hospital, don't you delay me for lunch?"

Seeing that things were irreparable, Tony pulled Rapeper's hand, interrupting her and acting helplessly.

"I've ordered it all, it's my favorite veal steak."

“…… All right. ”

After thinking for a while, Pepper felt that Tony had come over for so many days, and there was indeed no shortage of two or three days, so he sat down in his seat again.

"But you have to promise me that you will go to the hospital after eating."

"No problem."

Facing Pepper with an unquestioning face, Tony agreed, but there was worry in his eyes.

In the past, he had secretly contacted some authoritative medical experts, and they all said that there was no way to treat their problems. Because some of the shrapnel was too broken and scattered, and three shrapnel were too close to the heart, even if the operation was forced, the success rate was basically negligible.

He didn't say it because he didn't want Pepper to worry about him, but for some reason, Wang Dali knew about it.

Just as he was about to inquire about this, Wang Dali said with a smile.

"Didn't you say before, Tony can entrust this to me. Although I can't cure him, I have the information to keep his condition from getting worse. ”

"Ah, that's great news."

Tony Stark, who looked 'a problem that can be solved with money, is not a problem', raised an eyebrow and took out the checkbook from his arms.

"How much does this information cost? Say yes in advance, I'll give you half first, and the other half will not be given to you until the message is confirmed. ”

"The information is vague, and I'm not alone. Even in the not-too-distant future, someone will tell you before you actually have a problem. ”

However, hearing Wang Dali say this, Tony paused, but decisively tore a check from his checkbook and wrote a number in a smug manner.

"Two hundred thousand dollars, tell me the news."

"No problem."

Taking the check, Wang Dali first handed it to Catherine, who was in charge of the family's finances, and then said to him in Tony's strange eyes.

"This is your father's legacy, like a three-dimensional view of the Expo Park. Throw away some unnecessary things, and at the end the rest of the part will form a new element. It can replace palladium as a new material for nuclear energy, and it is safe and pollution-free. It's just that at that time, it was subject to technical limitations, so your father didn't make it. ”

"Expo Park?"

After hearing that this was his father's legacy, Tony Stark was obviously shocked and muttered: "Twenty years have passed, but I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson, Dad." ”

While Tony was silent, Pepper let out a long sigh of relief.

"Dali, this kind of thing you should have said earlier, it scared me."

In response to Pepper's complaint, Wang Dali chuckled and shook his head.

"Relatives to relatives, business to business. Besides, Tony isn't your husband yet, why did Pepper start turning her elbow out? ”

"But that's my boss."

Pepper glanced at Stark with resentment, causing a cold sweat to break out on his back.

"If I don't, I'll be wearing small shoes when I go back."

"If he dares to put small shoes on you, then fire him."

Catherine, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly said that she had always been unsupportive of the relationship between Pepper and Stark. Hearing Pepper say this, he glanced at Stark even coldly, making him smile awkwardly and whisper in Pepper's ear.

"This is your aunt? Pretty is beautiful, but I don't seem to know her, do I? ”

"If you knew my aunt, you'd be dead."

Pepper, who heard the meaning of the other party's words, glared at Tony fiercely, and the other party immediately raised his hand exaggeratedly.

"Why, I'm sure I really don't know her!"

While everyone was chatting, the waiter also brought over the steaks they had ordered.

……

After lunch, Catherine and Wang Dali returned home. She looked at the $200,000 check that Wang Dali handed her with a complicated expression, and put it back in Wang Dali's pocket.

"What's wrong, Darling?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little tired."

Catherine lay in Wang Dali's arms, exhaled softly, and stroked his smooth chin.

"I've been working hard for a year, and it's almost more than $200,000, and you earned it back today with just a few words."

"Fool, isn't mine yours? Count what to do so carefully. ”

Wang vigorously scratched Catherine's lovely nose.

"Also, it's not every day that I meet a client like Tony Stark, who is both bold and not bad for money."

At this moment, the phone rang from Wang Dali's pocket. Wang Dali picked it up and saw that it was a number he didn't recognize.

"Hello?"

Then, a deep, sharp voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Is it the Mighty King, I'm Blade. There's an order for $200,000 here, I don't know if you take it or not? ”

Catherine (squint): "That's what you're saying about not meeting clients like Tony Stark every day?" ”

Wang Dali (helpless face): "...... Blame me? ”

"Hello, may I ask if it's Blade, right? I don't know what your list is? ”

"It's not convenient to say the specifics, so we'll interview. The address is the Bloody Bar in Brooklyn, and the time is eight o'clock this evening. ”

Before Wang could agree, the man named Blade hung up the phone in his hand, looked at his old-fashioned mobile phone with a cold expression and said.

"I hope your strength is the same as what Nick Fury said, otherwise, the $200,000 wouldn't be so easy to get."
