"Tony, you're too young to understand this right now. So I decided to film this for you."
Howard had a rare gentle smile on his face, completely different from the one Tony remembered.
He pointed to the city model behind him, with incomprehensible expectations and hopes in his eyes, "All of this is built for you. One day, you will understand that these are not just the inventions of one person, but the result of my life's work and the key to the future."
"I am limited by the technology of my time, but one day you will understand all this... and then you will change the world."
"My greatest creation, forever and ever, is you."
Howard finished speaking and smiled proudly and confidently at the screen.
Then the entire screen was flooded with flashing snowflakes...just like Tony Stark's heart at this moment.
The father in my memory and the real father seemed to be cut into two people by a knife.
A harsh and cold person who doesn't care about Tony's heart and thoughts, only cares about interests and calculations, always arranges his future step by step, forcing him to have no freedom.
The other, the father in front of him, told him word by word with rare tenderness.
——I love you, you are my pride.
Tony suddenly felt like crying.
People who have founded a business are the most doting on their children, because they not only see their children as the continuation of their bloodline, but also as the heirs of their business. Children are like their own works.
This sentence is not very appropriate at this moment.
Slime looked at Stark, then at the snow-like screen, and quietly left.
Perhaps it would be better to leave this room to him alone.
/——————
Monaco is a southern European city-state located in southwestern Europe. It is surrounded by France on three sides and borders the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It has a small area.
It is world-famous for activities and events such as the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival, the International Fireworks Festival, and the Formula One Grand Prix.
In May this year, the world-renowned Formula One World Championship Monaco Grand Prix will once again be held here.
But this year's Grand Prix is particularly special because the organizers invited a special guest to attend.
"He is the super genius, philanthropist, peacemaker, superhero - Iron Man!"
"Where are the applause! Let's give the warmest welcome to Iron Man!"
The host's voice spread throughout the track through screens and loud speakers, causing cheers from the densely packed crowd.
Then, a golden-red shadow flew over the track, turned a few times, and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind the whistling wind and sonic boom.
The appearance of Mark III pushed the atmosphere to a new climax, with cheers and applause like a landslide and tsunami.
A high-end restaurant next to the track was also bustling.
This is one of the places reserved by the organizer as a venue for receiving various wealthy people and celebrities.
Tony Stark was sitting at a banquet, holding a glass and chatting happily with the middle-aged man in a white suit next to him.
There was actually no one in the armor flying outside, it was just Jarvis following the established procedure.
"...Oh, of course! Thank you very much for the invitations you sent me, they are very useful. But I didn't expect the organizers would specially invite me again, as a special guest... Hahaha, there's nothing I can do, my name is too famous..."
Stark was clearly showing off.
Happy and Natasha stood not far from Stark. Natasha's mission to observe Stark was not over yet, and Pepper did not know her identity as a spy, so she was not fired.
Stark wanted to fire her, but Natasha was a personal assistant hired by the vice president... Stark, as the president, did not have the right to fire her directly...
Pepper and Lemu, who arrived a little later, came over.
The man in the white suit next to Stark was attracted by the two people and put down the wine glass in his hand.
The sexy and charming woman in a black dress is Pepper, whom he knows. She is the recently appointed vice president of Stark Industries and the current girlfriend of Tony Stark.
The other little girl in a white shirt and black trousers looked quite unfamiliar.
Is it Stark, or one of the younger Potts?
Stark laughed, patted the man on the shoulder, and introduced him to them enthusiastically, "He is Rich Strong from Morocco. He runs a gas, water and electricity business, and his family also owns several mines. Our tickets were given to us by Mr. Strong."
"Pepper, you also know... Lemu Etxeberria, the second largest shareholder of my company and the helmsman of the Northland Business Group."
Richie Strong looked at Lei Mu again with some surprise. Northland Business Group?
This mysterious group that emerged in the past year is very powerful. They have a keen eye for investment and have made 5,163 investments without a single failure. They have been hailed as a new legend in the investment world.
"Nice to meet you."
There was unconsciously a hint of respect in his voice.
"Nice to meet you."
Lai Mu smiled and nodded.
The Northern Business Group is one of the larger investment companies set up by the Great Sage, and he brought it to the surface as a cover.
"Oh! Let me see who this is, Stark! Iron Man Stark!"
Suddenly, a man squeezed in from the side. He was wearing a suit and glasses, looking very handsome. It was Hammer Justin.
He seemed to have forgotten that he and Stark had a passionate exchange of words at the hearing a few days ago, and came over to build a relationship with an enthusiastic smile on his face.
"...A reporter from Vanity Fair wants to interview me...I want you to come along."
An old acquaintance of Stark, Christine, came out from behind him.
Fame and fortune... The three words "Iron Man" are really a golden signboard, even Hammer, the "opponent", wants to lick it.
Looking at the messy scene, Lai Mu smiled, turned around and walked out again, "You guys have fun, I'll go out and take a look, it's quite lively outside."
After leaving the hotel, he took out a baseball cap from somewhere and put it on his head, covering half of his face.
Chapter 69. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine
The Morocco Grand Prix was packed with people and filled with low, noisy voices.
Lai Mu pressed the baseball cap on his head, moved quietly among the crowd, found a taller tower and climbed up.
The highest point of the tower has a wide view and no one is there. Everyone is crowded around the track, which is some distance away from the track, and ordinary people can't see that far.
He leaned against the wall, looking at the boiling crowd, and waited quietly for an opportunity.
The Great Sage had already monitored Ivan Vanko's movements. He had also arrived at the competition venue and was blending in with the crowd, wearing a staff member's uniform.
Lai Mu needed to wait until the person was alone, or wait for the crowd to disperse - then he could bury the person quietly without anyone knowing.
This time Stark did not race as usual, so Ivan Vanko would not make a move if he could not find an opportunity, and the race would be smooth and peaceful...
It's not going smoothly at all!
In the distance, Tony Stark walked towards the stage next to the audience seats, surrounded by the crowd, and seemed to want to say a few words.
In the crowd, a big man in an orange uniform, Ivan Vanko, also noticed Stark's arrival.
He stared at Stark's position, squeezed through the crowd and walked towards him step by step with a grin... After waiting for so long, he finally got a chance.
Originally, he didn't know which building Stark was hiding in, and he didn't expect that the other party would come out on his own.
Today, at this moment, he was going to crush this deceitful bug, the descendant of a thief, to death right here.
……
Lai Mu patted the baseball cap on his head speechlessly.
Isn't Stark looking for trouble for me?
He took off his hat casually, took out the ghost armor and put it on, then flew into the sky with a long stream of flames and flew towards the arena.
At this time, Ivan Vanko had quietly moved behind Stark and pulled out two long whips from his sleeves.
He turned on the switch, and white arcs of electricity flowed from his body and whip, completely burning his uniform and revealing the simple exoskeleton he was wearing on his upper body.
"Stark!"
Ivan Vanko shouted loudly, raised the whip suddenly and lashed forward fiercely.
Just as the defenseless Tony Stark was about to be split in two by the whip, a spinning sword suddenly fell from the sky and blocked behind Stark.
The sword stuck deep into the ground, taking the brunt of Stark's blow. With a loud snap, sparks flew, and a dark mark appeared on the sword.
Stark and others were startled by the sound and only then realized what had happened.
The crowd screamed in fear and retreated far away, leaving a large area of the space empty in an instant.
Stark staggered in shock, but after he stood firm, he took two steps forward despite his fear. He put his hands in front of him and tried to negotiate with Ivan Vanko.
"Don't get excited! Calm down! Calm down! Are you looking for me? You found me! You can tell me anything you want to say!"
A blue and white armored arm pulled the nervous Stark away from behind, and Lei Mu's complaining voice sounded at the same time.
"Hey, he's here to kill you, not to chat with you. Go away, you troublemaker! Can't you just stay in the hotel?"
"Leave this to me."
The ghost armor clanged forward a few steps and pulled out the disfigured sword. Looking at the sword, Lai Mu felt a little distressed.
"Hey, uncle, you destroyed my weapon..."
Before he could finish his words, Ivan Vanko shouted and whipped him again.
The ghost dodged by leaning sideways, and the whip left a deep black scratch on the ground amid flying sparks.
"Well, it looks like you're not going to lose the money."
Ivan Vanko swung the whip for the third time, but the ghost blocked it with his sword, and lightly raised the tip of the sword. The electrified whip turned 180 degrees and hit Ivan Vanko head-on.
If it hits you, you will definitely die!
However, at this moment, a hand cannon came from behind the ghost. With a bang, it knocked Ivan Vanko down and saved his life at the critical moment.
Leimu suddenly turned his head, glared at Stark through his armor, and started the team voice chat.
"You saved his life?"
Stark actually asked back in confusion, "Is it possible that I shouldn't save him?"
