On an outdoor basketball court in Queens, New York, Lin Rui was playing with a few of his friends, including Tom, who hadn't played with them for a long time. Although Lin Rui always felt that Tom seemed to have something to hide from him, he had no intention of digging up, since they were good friends, then a certain amount of trust was necessary.

"Wow! another three-pointer!" the crowd shouted again after the basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and entered the basket, and it was already Peter's fifth three-pointer in a row.

For the physically strengthened Spider-Man Peter, basketball is no longer a little challenging. He can throw the ball in with his eyes closed. However, he still likes the cheers of the people around him. Compared with Peter's high profile, Lin Rui, who can also shoot countless three-pointers with his eyes closed, behaves very ordinary, and he will not be as showy as Peter.

It's Tom, I don't know if he's really basketball or something else. Except for Peter, he scored the most points in the game. And watching Peter shoot one three-pointer after another, Tom also chased him and threw several three-pointers, which was eye-catching.

Soon, a friendly match between friends was over, and the final score was not much different. At the end of the game, it almost became a battle between Peter and Tom, and the others almost became foils. From this ball game, Lin Rui suddenly found that Tom's physical fitness seemed to have improved a lot, and he was much better than the average person.

"Hey, Tom, do you have any plans for the holidays? I might go to New Mexico in a while, do you want to come along?" Lin Rui asked Tom, who was sitting in the seat next to the basketball court.

"Do you want to go out to play? I have a basketball team training camp during the holidays, so I don't have time to go out and play. Hearing Lin Rui's invitation, Tom's eyes flickered, and finally refused.

"Oh, yes, since you're going to train intensively, let's do it next time. Lin Rui seemed to guess Tom's answer and said with a smile.

Call!

"You're going to New Mexico, why didn't you tell me?" While Lin Rui and Tom were chatting, Peter suddenly sat down.

"Told you that you could go with me? We just came back from Monaco, Dr. Connors will let you go out and play? Do you still want to do the experiment?" Hearing Peter's words, Lin Rui asked lightly.

"Uh...... Looks like yes, I can't hang out with you this time. Remembering that his experiment with Dr. Connors had not yet succeeded, Peter dismissed the idea of going out to play.

Buzzing~

Just as Lin Rui and Peter were chatting on the basketball court, the mobile phone he put aside suddenly vibrate. Glancing at the display on his phone, Lin Rui was a little surprised, and then he picked up his phone and clicked on the message just now.

"Tonight at seven o'clock, Iron Man's party. Location: My Beach Villa, from Iron Man Tony Stark. This is the content of this message, it turned out to be Tony invited Lin Rui to a party.

Although after Tony became Iron Man, Lin Rui also contacted him from time to time to increase the completion of the main quest. But Tony doesn't seem to have much contact with Lin Rui lately, he's busy showing off his mechs and preaching the peace he brings all over New York, and the newspapers have daily news about Tony Stark and Iron Man. Especially after the Monaco incident, Tony seems to have intensified his showmanship everywhere.

"What information?" Seeing Lin Rui's expression a little strange, Peter on the side asked curiously.

"Uh~ nothing, a friend's greeting. Putting away the phone, Lin Rui replied lightly.

"yes? I thought it was a girl! By the way, where do you think Harry and Gwen have come now?"

Lin Rui: "......"

Tony's invitation, do you want to go or not? There must be a lot of beautiful girls there!

......

After returning home from the basketball court, Lin Rui took a shower and drove out in his car. That's right, it's your own car. After his sixteenth birthday, Lin Rui finally got his driver's license, and his own work at the "Clarion Daily" also made some money, so he asked his father to fund some money to buy a second-hand Jeep. Although the car is not very good, it is also Lin Rui's first car, Lin Rui still pays attention to maintenance, and he is ready to drive this car out for fun.

Therefore, when Lin Rui drove this somewhat old jeep to Tony's seaside villa, it was in stark contrast to the dozens of luxury vehicles parked at the door, like a lewd uncle inserted in the middle of a group of beautiful women in bikinis. Therefore, Lin Rui consciously parked the car in the corner.

Before he walked into the villa, Lin Rui heard the energetic music coming from inside, and it seemed that it was really a happy party. didn't see any security guards at the door, and didn't see Happy's cute bodyguard, Lin Rui walked in directly.

"Ahh

"Oooh!"

"Iron Man! Iron Man!"

As soon as he walked into the villa, Lin Rui frowned, the sound insulation effect of Tony's villa is really good, and the sound heard outside is only less than one-tenth of the inside. Originally, Lin Rui's sense of hearing was relatively sensitive, and it was still a little uncomfortable to accept such a powerful music all of a sudden.

After getting used to the music in the hall a little, Lin Rui was dazzled by the crazy girls in the next place. The entire hall was crowded with nearly 100 girls who participated in the party, and the beauties who caught their eyes were all super good figures, and Lin Rui seemed to have seen several celebrities and famous models. Of course, this is Tony's party, is he going to invite some rough guys?

Bypassing the crazy beauties holding wine glasses around him, Lin Rui quickly squeezed towards the front of the hall. Fortunately, these girls are all crazy about Tony on stage, and no one will be interested in Lin Rui, a little boy who doesn't seem to be mature. Finally, Lin Rui, who had used some skills, finally squeezed to the front of the hall, and he finally saw Tony. However, his situation at this time does not seem so normal.

As one of the few men in the party, Tony was standing on the steps in his steel armor and writhing to the music, cocktail in hand. As for Harpy, he stood helplessly in the corner of the stage and looked at Tony, he didn't dare to meddle in Tony's affairs.

"It's really crazy, the life of a local tyrant is different!" Glancing at Tony who was hilarious on the stage, Lin Rui thought helplessly.

Then Lin Rui walked towards Harpy, he wanted to ask what Tony's purpose was for holding this party? Didn't he know that this would make Miss Pep very unhappy? They should be officially established now, Tony has not attracted bees and butterflies for a long time, which one is this today?

"Hey, Harpy, I haven't seen you in a while!" Walking to the edge of the stage, Lin Rui shouted loudly at Harpy, and only in this way could he ensure that Harpy could hear him.

"Hey, Jackson, I didn't expect Mr. Tony to invite you too. Seeing Lin Rui, Harpy also shouted loudly. It seems that Tony's party this time was held temporarily.

"Well, I received a message from Mr. Stark in the afternoon. What's wrong with him?Where is Miss Pep?" Nodding, Lin Rui continued to shout at the top of his voice.

"I don't know! Mr. Stark seems to have changed his mood lately, and I don't know what happened to him. As for Miss Pep, she is now the CEO of Stark Industries, and Mr. Stark has left all the work to her, and she is busy. Also pulling his throat, Harpy gave Lin Rui a simple explanation.

Hearing Harpy's words, Lin Rui's brows suddenly jumped, and he seemed to have forgotten something important. After thinking about it carefully for a while, Lin Rui finally remembered what he had forgotten. In the original plot of Iron Man, Tony has been indulging himself because of palladium poisoning. The thing that kept him alive was slowly killing him, and Tony couldn't stop it.
