Some of Tony's tsundere emotions didn't affect his party mood.

Because after making the decision, he found out that it would be the most relaxing birthday party he would have to take off the two burdens that had been bothering him for a long time.

However, the way he celebrated, Oakes and Rod were not very comfortable.

So the two of them found a relatively secluded place, and one of them took a glass of wine and tasted it slowly.

"Am I wrong? That's not how you drank just now. ”

Rod, who solved the task, was in a good mood and was even in the mood to joke:

"The way you look now reminds me of your profession."

"Ahem...... You must have taken your mind too seriously and read it wrong. ”

Oakes glanced at him and pouted:

"I thought that as a soldier, the colonel would avoid alcohol, let alone you still came by car."

"I'm going to fly back later!"

Rod's eyes seemed to flash with little stars:

"Finally...... That's cool, and there's no law on alcohol control in the U.S. right now, perfect! ”

He raised his glass and touched it with Oakes:

"Thank you so much, Dr. Oakes, without your help, Tony would have had a hard time getting out of this predicament, let alone solving it perfectly."

"No, it's not perfect, Colonel Rhodes."

Oakes took a sip of wine, looked at Tony, who was comfortable in the group of beauties, and chuckled:

"Tony gave you the Warframe, a gift from a personal person...... And not to the US military, which we have already made clear before. ”

"That's right, it's because of my special identity that there is room for compromise in this matter......"

Rod had to admire Oakes' brain.

"But Warframes need weapons, and Tony has made it clear that he won't provide you with weapons—

So who do you think will equip you with weapons when you bring your Warframe back to the military base? ”

Oakes' words made Rod stunned, and then smiled bitterly:

"Justin Hammer."

"Yes, it must be him."

After Stark Industries completely shut down its weapons division, Justin Hammer's Hammer Industries received a large number of orders.

But the quality and power of their weapons are far from comparable to the high-end goods produced by Stark Industries.

So, despite Hammer's efforts to expand his business, orders for high-end weapons were cut because they could not meet the needs of the military.

Tony has achieved the highest achievement in the industry -

Brother is no longer in the rivers and lakes, but there are still legends of brother on the rivers and lakes.

Brother quit the rivers and lakes not because his martial arts were completely wasted, but because he ...... The miracle has been accomplished, and the sun has soared!

Since the hearing at the beginning of the year, Hammer has spent almost half a year with Tony stepping on his face, and the incident in Monaco has finally given him the opportunity to completely bring down Tony.

Of course, now even the military doesn't know that Hammer has pulled Ivan Fankola, the "mourning whip" who attacked Tony, under his command.

However, this did not prevent them from getting the Warframe from Tony, who was completely out of control, and letting Hammer, who was completely under their control, take over the transformation.

Even if you can't crack the Warframe's technology, it's always possible to install a weapon.

At least, Hammer Industries' weapons are still second only to Stark Industries - although it is a bit secondary, but Mark II is also obsolete!

"It's a real headache, Tony knows that he won't make trouble again."

Rod knew Tony's temper well, and to be honest, he didn't like Hammer.

Because every time Tony stepped on Hammer, the military was piggybacked.

And as Tony's friend, every time Hammer and the military are stepped on, Rod can't help but compare him with Tony-

There is no comparison at all.

There is no way, the military wants to support the obedient Hammer to replace Tony's place as soon as possible, but who in this world can replace Tony?

Especially in this matter, Rod had no way to refuse.

"Uh-huh, that's what happened."

Oakes shrugged, but it was the starting point for Tony's future feats of turning the tide.

So, it's not perfect yet, and we'll have to wait until later.

"It's up to you to have a headache...... It seems that a beautiful woman has taken a fancy to me, and I have to deal with it. ”

Oakes smiled, and Rhodes raised his head when he heard this, and rolled his eyes in surprise:

"Why do I think that beautiful woman is coming from me...... Isn't that Tony's secretary?

Wow...... She's so sexy today, and I feel like it's my military temperament that attracts her. ”

"I didn't say you, Colonel Rhodes......"

Oakes stood up and raised an eyebrow at Rod with a look of pity:

"This beauty's eyes are very bright, and she is definitely not blind."

“……”

Rod felt that he should be angry, but he couldn't get angry at all.

Shet...... Didn't the information say that this guy has no interest in women?! ”

……

"I've heard of it for a long time, Ochs Advisor."

"Long admiration, Agent Romanov...... Or rather, Black Widow. ”

With a wine glass in hand, Oakes and Natasha, with a charming smile on her face, walked slowly to the balcony, away from the loud heavy metal music in the venue for a while.

"Huh? Looks like a guy who drank too much just came here. ”

Natasha glanced at the bottle corpse on the ground silently, and Oakes' smile remained the same:

"It must have been Tony's doing, I saw him coming."

“…… So I feel like you're better suited to our job than a scientist. ”

Natasha's eyes seem to be able to seduce the soul, revealing amazing charm -

However, she soon discovered that this trick had no effect on Oakes.

"It's frustrating."

"You're not the first to think that."

Oakes took a sip of the wine he hadn't put down, turned and leaned against the fence:

"So Agent Romanoff, didn't he come to me this time just to try his charm?"

"The day after tomorrow is Justin Hammer's showcase—at the Stark Messe, but my identity has been revealed, and I'm afraid I won't be able to follow Miss Potts and protect her."

Natasha stroked her hair and glanced at the venue:

"To tell you the truth, Miss Potts is such an amazing woman, and if it were me, I'm afraid I'd beat Tony to the point where he couldn't take care of himself on the first day I met him."

“…… Actually, I thought the same thing the first day I met him, but he gave too much. ”

The corners of Oakes' mouth twitched, worthy of Black Widow:

"So you're being fired now?"

"No, it was the Director who recalled me, just now."

Natasha smiled charmingly again:

"But Tony's fighting power as a driver and bodyguard is really speechless-

Justin Hammer showed off his products with great fanfare at Tony's home stadium, just for the slap in the face, and I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch at that time. ”

"Is this an agent's sharp intuition? Do you think something is going to happen? ”

Oakes drained the glass of wine in one gulp and placed it on the fence:

"So you're now ...... Private identity to remind me? ”

"That's right, because the Director said you'll be at the show in two days' time, with Dr. Ethan.

In addition......"

Natasha walked past Oakes, leaving behind a fragrant breeze:

"I'm your first customer to recover the potion~"

Oakes: "...... It turned out to be you! ”
