Chapter 54: Social Death (II)
Chapter 54
Naturally, Peter couldn't let Felicia's ill-intentioned attempt succeed, and directly and rudely let the big cat roll up and leave.
So much so that when Felicia opened the window, she scolded Peter and was ruthless.
Peter shook his head, "Counting the time, Tony's side is about the same, right?" ”
Stark Building.
Tony looked at the messy hall after the party.
As in the original, he made a big splash at the recent hearing, slashing the military and Hammer Industries.
But at the same time, he couldn't bear it in the end, and got into a big fight with Rhodes in steel armor at the party...... By default, he was given a Warframe.
Pepper walked over and looked at Tony at this time, with indescribable complexity in his heart.
She was angry at the ridiculous things that the billionaires in front of her had done, and at the same time, she was a little distressed.
In an accident, she learned about Tony's palladium poisoning, and naturally couldn't help but worry about her boss, and at the same time, she didn't understand.
Since the palladium poisoning is due to the steel suit, is it okay as long as you don't wear it?
She doesn't quite understand what Iron Man means to Tony yet.
This also led to a quarrel with Tony, and even offered to leave her job at one point.
But she didn't go.
How so...... Although Tony is ridiculous, she has taken care of her for so many years, and after all, she can't let go.
When Tony saw Pepper, he forcibly pulled himself together and scolded, "Damn it, that guy Rod...... Don't think I'll forgive him. ”
Then ask:
"Pepper, how is it like to be CEO of Stark Industries during this time?"
"Of course, it's not an easy thing to do, especially with a boss like you." Pepper, of course, didn't say it angrily.
"Haha." Tony laughed dryly twice and said, "Since you're tired, you might as well take a vacation." ”
This made Pepper a little stunned, "What? What kind of holiday!? ”
"Didn't you say tired? I think even a CEO should give himself a vacation sometimes, right? I want to think about it...... It's only a month. ”
Tony began to talk to himself,
"Go to Europe, to the Cipuani Hotel in Venice, remember? We've been there and it's a nice getaway......"
"Tony!" Pepper finally interrupted him unbearably and asked:
"Are you really going to be buried in that steel armor like that?"
Tony fell silent.
He said: "I am Iron Man, I can't give up the armor, that is equivalent to giving up myself." ”
"But, you're really going to die, Tony."
"In fact, it's not completely out of the question." Tony turned on the holographic projection, and the information of the serum and biological armor appeared inside.
"But on condition I have to turn into a green monster, or a madman with a second personality in my head, you know, Pepper, I can't take it, and that's not my way."
Tony got up and looked at Pepper, "In the last of these days, I think, I want to spend time with you, Pepper." ”
"With ...... Spend time with me? Pepper was stunned all of a sudden, and couldn't believe his ears,
"Please, why me? Isn't there a birthday party in your plan, isn't there also a World Expo that belongs to you......"
"It doesn't matter!"
Perhaps knowing that his death was approaching, Tony broke the jar a little bit, and directly said the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart and were contradictory all the time:
"I just want to be with you right now."
"Do you know what you're talking about? Tony. Pepper's eyes widened and he confirmed.
"Of course." Tony spread his hands and said to himself:
"I gave everything I had. Rod, he will inherit my iron armor and become Iron Man instead of me, it doesn't matter what the steel is, he inherits my iron will to live. ”
"Peter Parker! He's a very smart boy...... For the sake of my short lifespan, I will reluctantly admit that he may not lose to me, and even surpass me. ”
"I gave him my wisdom, and the scientific and technological information was put in the computer, as for how much he can learn during this time, it depends on him, anyway, I can't teach him by hand."
"As for the last ......" Tony looked back at Pepper, she was already stunned by Tony's words,
"I'll hand over Stark Industries to you, Pepper. You're doing for me what I didn't finish...... Transform Stark into a clean energy company for the benefit of humanity. ”
"No, that's crazy."
"Crazy, that's right, I like the word, and in this way, I will die without regrets."
Tony's hand reached in front of him and snapped his fingers,
"I'm ...... Iron Man! ”
Tony admits that if he wasn't dying, he wouldn't have said these words and made these actions.
This is enough to make him die for the rest of his life!
But...... Anyway, his life is coming to an end, whatever!
"So, can we go on vacation now?" He asked.
Pepper agreed.
Faced with Tony's fleshy confession and the most expensive confession gift in the world, she has no ability to refuse.
And perhaps because he finally said his inner thoughts, Tony felt relaxed, and at this moment, Jarvis suddenly informed him,
"Sir, I think you'd better go to Peter Parker's lab now."
"Oh? What happened to him? Tony was in a good mood and said:
"For my sake, I won't blame him for breaking anything."
"Uh...... Sir, he didn't break anything. ”
"What's going on?"
"You'll see for yourself, Peter said, he wants to surprise you."
"Well, interesting, you actually swallowed it today, Jarvis."
Tony didn't think much of it and went straight to the lab.
There was a model of his father's Howard World Fair in the lab, and he just glanced at it and didn't think much about it.
After all, what he gave Peter was also the task of the Expo.
"Boy, Jarvis said you had a surprise for me? I hope you can really surprise me. ”
"Uh...... I'm not sure, Mr. Stark. I just discovered something new and interesting. ”
"The most interesting thing right now is my vacation with Pepper, come on, show me." Tony didn't care.
"Okay."
With a wave of Peter's hand, the holographic projection directly projected the entire World Expo model holographically, then disassembled, recombined, and finally formed a spherical object.
"Mr. Stark, I found it by observing your father's model of the World's Fair, and I was a little curious, so I gave it a try."
“…… Well, you kid really surprised me. Tony looked at the holographic projection ball in Peter's hand.
He was knowledgeable, and naturally saw that this was a new elemental structure, a structure that had never been seen before.
Of course, he was surprised, but that was all.
Although this can be said to be a cross-era discovery, the characteristics and functions of the new element are still unknown, and he will only know after checking and deducing.
On the contrary, he wondered why his irresponsible father's model of the World Expo could be put together such a thing.
So, Tony quickly turned against the guest and ordered Jarvis to take over the lab and start testing, while Peter stepped aside and watched him perform.
At first, Tony's expression was normal, with a slight curiosity in surprise and a hint of excitement.
But as Jarvis tested and analyzed, his expression began to become solemn, and he looked at it intently.
It wasn't until finally, when all the data came out, that Tony sat in his chair with wide eyes, feeling lost for the first time.
Jarvis said very straightforwardly: "Sir, after testing, this new element seems to be able to ......"
"Say no more!" Tony interrupted Jarvis' debriefing with a direct wave of his hand.
He wiped his face with his hand and said, "I really want to die now." ”
