"Your family is all thieves and butchers," he said. ”

"You're like all the guilty people here, trying to rewrite your own history, but you've forgotten the lives that were ruined by the Starks."

"Speaking of thieves," Tony was upset to see him sue first, "where did you get this design?" ”

"My father, Anton Vanke." Ivan Vanko confessed.

"I haven't heard of him."

Ivan Vanko stared at Tony, "My father is the reason you're still alive. ”

"I'm still alive because you had the opportunity to kill me, but you didn't catch me."

"Really?" Ivan Vanko disagreed, "If you can make God bleed, then people will no longer believe in Him." ”

"When blood falls into the water, sharks will surround you, whether you're Stark or God."

"I just have to sit here and wait and see how the world engulfs you."

Tony smiled, "Where are you going to see the world engulf me?" By the way, I'll send you soap in the cell. ”

With that, he stood up and walked out.

"Hey, Tony, before you go," Ivan Vanko called Tony, "it's a painful death with palladium seeping into your chest." ”

Tony ignored him, knocked lightly on the door twice, and walked out when the door opened.

......

On the private jet, watching the senator's resurgence on the TV, Tony held a plate on the table and picked up the remote control to mute the TV.

"Honestly, he should have awarded me a medal."

Peppard, who looked a little haggard, looked at the plate on the table, "What's that?" ”

"Your in-flight meal."

As he spoke, Tony opened the lid on the plate, revealing a lump of fried eggs that were still burnt around the cuboid.

Looking at the slightly distorted meal, Pepp asked, "Did you make this?" ”

"yes, what do you think I've been doing for the past three hours."

"You seem to be hiding something from me." Looking at Tony's unusual behavior, Pepper said.

Tony paused, "I don't want to go home at all, not at all..."

Pepper nodded.

He continued: "Let's cancel my birthday party, let's go to Europe, let's go to Venice to have fun. ”

Pepper smiled and shook her head, "I don't think it's the right time, we're in trouble." ”

Tony's mind is in turmoil right now, the appearance of a reactor similar to his own, the pressure of the Senate, and the physical discomfort caused by palladium poisoning are all tormenting him.

"I'm just proposing to recharge our batteries and think things through."

"Not everybody uses electricity, Tony." Pepper laughed.

Tony smiled, but was still worried.

Airplanes travel through the clouds, and the sun sets.

......

Cell.

It was lunch time again, and Ivan Vanke sat on the bed thinking about something.

The prison guard placed the meal on the fence and gave Ivan Vanko a deep look.

Ivan Vanke sensed something was wrong, and took the plate to see a note under the cup.

He opened the note, which read, "Please enjoy the potatoes." ”

Ivan Vanko flipped over the boiled potato, revealing a miniature bomb with a countdown on it.

At this point, he still couldn't figure it out.

Later, the guards brought in another prisoner who was about his size and also had long blond hair.

Looking at his prison uniform of the same size as his own, Ivan Vanko smiled meaningfully.

He stood up and knocked the prisoner unconscious with two punches, when the guard walked by, put a key on the fence platform, Ivan Vanke glued the bomb to the wall and activated it, picked up the key to open the cell door, and staggered out.

casually knocked out a prison guard who found him, and with the sound of explosions behind him, Ivan Vanko hurried down the stairs.

He walked up the stairs, but found that the door to the next floor had been locked, and a large number of prison guards had gathered, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he resolutely turned around and walked up, but was put on a hood by the two oncoming prison guards and carried him downstairs.

In the end he was thrown into a carriage and plunged into darkness.

When the door opened again, Ivan Vanke had arrived at a wide underground plaza with a dining table in the middle, and Justin Hammer was sitting at the other end, waiting for a seat.

"Hey, he's coming." Seeing Ivan Vanke get out of the car, Hammer stood up, "It's such an honor, welcome." ”

"Oh my God, can you uncuff my friend?" Hammer looked at the prison guard behind Ivan Vanko and frowned.

After being unhandcuffed, Hammer looked at Ivan Vanke and said, "I'm a big fan of yours, my name is Justin Hammer, and I want to do some business with you." ”

Hammer held out his hand.

Ivan Vanko shook it.

"You may be seated."

He invited Ivan Vanke to sit down, and sat back himself, "When the guests are here, let's go, what are you going to eat today, Jack?" ”

The chef serves the tray to the table, "Salmon fillet in Italian style." ”

"That's good." Justin Hammer said, "We have everything you want, and I like to have dessert first, and have someone bring it from San Francisco." ”

"Looks like you have a grudge against Tony Stark?"

Ivan Vanke, who is not very comfortable with being served, is a little scrambled at this time.

"I saw what you did to him on the highway, you challenged him in front of God and all Americans, it was just..."

Hammer burst into a foul mouth.

"Your actions have touched me, so I can't stand you being transferred to that kind of place, oh my God, what a waste of talent. But let me suggest, you can't just go up and try to kill him on such impulse. ”

"I think you're going to fight his legacy, that's what you should kill."

Ivan Vanke slowly chewed on the salmon fillet and looked at him lightly.

"You and I, we're similar in a lot of ways, the only difference between us is that I have a lot of resources, and you might need my resources."

"A patron who has your back behind you."

Ivan Vanke smiled happily.

......

"Yes, but the company's roots are still solid, no matter what's happening on the road...", Pepper, who has been appointed CEO, was dealing with the mess when a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Where is he?"

It was none other than Rod.

"He's downstairs."

Pepper didn't think much of it and said to Rod.

Tony sits in the basement in his collection cart, with a screen in front of him.

"Found it, sir." Jarvis's voice rang out, "Anton Vanke was a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963, but he was charged with espionage and deported in 1967. ”

His son, Ivan Vanko, also a physicist, spent 15 years in Kepias prison after being convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons-grade palladium to Pakistan.

"There has been no record since then."
