Chapter 31: The Dinner

Tonight, the Visas Hotel is the liveliest place in New York. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf there were no big things like aliens coming tonight and super criminals tearing down a few streets, tonight's dinner would be the headlines of tomorrow.

The front road of the hotel is full of expensive luxury cars, and it is almost like a high-end car show. New York's celebrities and even some of the biggest names in the upper class were in attendance.

With such a big face, it was Tony Stark, who was as famous as he was in the sky. As a wealthy second-generation man, he recently escaped death from a group of mountain bandits, and immediately made big news -- announcing that Stark Industries, a weapons company that had been committed to weapons development for a hundred years, would no longer produce weapons. And before public opinion had time to digest this explosive news, it followed even more vigorously - he admitted that he had developed a high-tech suit and that he had transformed himself into a generation of superhero Iron Man.

Two blockbusters in the press have made the name of Tony Stark more popular than all the other rich second generations for a whole year, and it looks like it will last even longer. And because of the advent of Iron Man's technology, Stark himself began to get more and more involved in politics, which is one of the reasons why his banquet was so influential.

"Well deserved his name, Stark." Eric stood in front of the brightly lit hotel and sighed.

He received the invitation this morning. Anyway, the school has been closed for the past two days, and since everyone has been so graciously invited, it's not bad to meet the legendary Iron Man (of course, not to eat and drink).

Theoretically, he would need a formal outfit before attending such a banquet, and perhaps a little more to dress up. But now, he only wears an ordinary black trench coat, and his leather shoes are more like street stalls in the night market, even in a British handmade suit.

And someone, completely unaware, swaggered in to the doorman with an arrogant invitation and went straight for the food and drink, as if he were a diner in the first place.

But it doesn't seem to be wrong to say it, he was originally here to eat. It was the first time he had been so free and unfettered to attend such a large banquet as a guest. Of course, he didn't forget that the main lord must have come to him for a purpose, but before the other party appeared, he didn't seem to have much to do except eat.

Also, another reason not to wear a suit is that you can't wear the armor on your back when you wear it.

Sure enough, after a while, people took the initiative to find them.

"Eric Charlotte?"

Eric, who was dealing with a piece of cheesecake, turned his head and finally met the legendary Tony Stark, who was accompanied by two business partners with a goblet half full of red wine.

"I've wanted to meet you for a long time, and I wanted to visit your house, but because my schedule is too full these days, I have to invite you to the banquet to talk." Tony said and shook the cup in his hand, "Some?" ”

"No, thanks, I'm not old enough to drink."

Tony shrugged: "Sometimes rules are meant to be broken, otherwise you won't be able to move forward...... And where did you get this dress? Do you buy online? ”

"Forget." Eric took the last bite of the cake, "But whatever you wear on me fits perfectly." ”

Tony couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to the people around him, "I like this kid. ”

He drained the red wine in one gulp and whispered to Eric, "Go and wait for me on the balcony for a while, I think we have a lot to talk about." Five minutes, I'll go to you as soon as I get rid of this gang. ”

Facts have proved that the rich second generation seems to have a very weak sense of time. Eric drank the northwest wind on the balcony for twenty minutes before Stark appeared.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, those girls are so enthusiastic." Tony leaned against the pillar and said, "Then let's get down to business." Let's make sure, you know why I met you, right? Did you make it yourself? ”

Eric knew he was referring to the Amojo Warframe. He had expected this to be what Tony wanted to ask before he came to the banquet.

"No, my dad made it...... Or at least it seems. ”

"Oh? He's a genius, and I found out he works for the government......"

"If you wonder why you don't mention how he's doing in your resume, I might be able to answer - he's dead."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"If you're trying to find out where my armor came from, or if you're looking for blueprints or something, you're probably going to be disappointed - I know almost nothing about it." "Look, I don't know what my dad made this thing for, I don't know why he gave it to me. One day I was attacked by a bunch of crazy people, and I didn't know who gave me this thing, and my life was turned upside down...... Or maybe it's become the way it should be, I can't tell. ”

Tony listened quietly and nodded approvingly, "I think I can understand you." My life has changed radically not too long ago, but the good part is that at least I changed voluntarily. ”

After a pause, he said, "Now, I think I can give you a chance." ”

"Opportunity? Is it like applying for a part-time job? ”

"Sort of." "Trust me, capacity is a burden for people who can't afford it. And now, you can choose to give it to me, and then you can drop it all, finish school like any other child, get a job, find a girl you like and start a family. ”

"So...... You want my armor? ”

"What? No, I just ...... Well, yes. Tony admits with some frustration, "yes, it wasn't that long ago that I was smug that Iron Man was the best individual combat system on Earth, and now it's not." I've analyzed a couple of your battles, I've studied the performance of that set of armor, and they'...... For the time being, it's really better than my armor. ”

Although he emphasized the word "temporary" in particular, Eric saw that it was not easy for Stark to admit it.

He smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Stark. But if it was my father's will to give me this armor, I couldn't ......"

That's all he could say.

Because at this moment, two rocket warheads dragged a thick tail flame, and one shot through the wall and rushed into the hall.

The strong impact severed the load-bearing pillars of the hall, and the crystal chandelier was extinguished in an instant, and the flames quickly took over the hall. Eric watched Stark like a leaf blown up by a scorching wind, and then he was pulled out by an irresistible force, and his body was as light as a feather.
