Chapter 336 Despair
【Seeing Tony's attitude towards her, Maya knew he was angry with her, so she stood up and walked over to him. 】
[While walking, he said: "Ah! We've been through a lot, Tony! But I'm almost there! Extremis is stable now!"]
[Tony pulled hard at the belt that bound him and sighed helplessly. After hearing Maya's words, he angrily retorted: "I said it didn't!!!"]
[“I was on the street, there were a lot of explosions! There was blood all over the wall! Maya, you are deceiving yourself!” Tony looked at her and advised her earnestly. ]
[Maya took out the business card Tony gave her: "Then help me fix it!"]
[Tony took a closer look at the business card. On the front was written: Bourne, 2000, you know who I am! On the back was a string of formulas that he left for Maya.]
[It is precisely with this series of formulas that Maya has pushed the Extremis virus to its current level, but she can no longer push it further, so she wants Tony's help. ]
[Tony looked at the formula and said in surprise: "I wrote this?" He had no recollection of having written this.]
[Maya looked at his expression and nodded: "Yes!"]
[Tony tilted his head: "I remember that night, but I don't remember the morning! Have you been doing this all along?"]
[Maya frowned and looked at him sadly: "You don't remember?"]
[Tony rejected her without hesitation and refuted: "I can't help you! You used to have a sense of morality! You used to be an idealistic person who wanted to help others! Look at you now!"]
[“The person who wakes me up every morning now has a soul!”]
[Maya looked at Tony with a somewhat puzzled expression. She remembered that she sold the Extremis virus to Killian for the sake of research. She just kept avoiding this question.]
[“Help me out! Come on!”]
[Maya swallowed and hesitated when she noticed Killian coming over, so she turned around and walked back.]
Killian's voice sounded, and he walked down the stairs carrying a laptop: "You know what my dad used to tell me? His favorite saying was: The early bird catches the worm! But the second mouse gets the cheese!"
[Tony looked at Killian and said, "Are you still angry about what happened in Switzerland?"]
[Killian spread his hands and walked up to him: "How can I be angry with you? Tony! I came to thank you! You gave me the greatest gift in my life! 'Despair!'"]
[“Think back to when we were in Switzerland, you said we’d meet on the roof, right? For the first twenty minutes, I really thought you were going to come!”]
[“For the next hour, I… I just wanted to take a shortcut to the lobby, you know what I mean?”]
【Killian almost said he wanted to jump off the building.】
[Tony didn't respond, but said, "To be honest, I'm still wondering what happened to the first mouse?"]
Killian ignored Tony's antics and continued, "But when I looked out at the city, no one could see me. No one was even looking at me!"
[Killian recalled the scene at that time. He walked to the railing with his crutches and looked at the crowd below and the fireworks in the sky.]
"It's really a bad feeling to be fooled by others. He was alone on the cold rooftop on New Year's Eve, watching the crowd below cheering for the arrival of the millennium. That's why he deliberately planned to take revenge on Tony Stark!"
Toby Spider knew very well why Killian hated Tony Stark, not only because Tony Stark blocked his way, but also because of personal grudges.
Uncle Ben could probably guess what Killian was thinking: "Killian worked hard to stop being fooled by others, so he threatened the president and hid behind the scenes to make everyone afraid of him. The unknown is the most terrifying!"
"The Extremis virus is indeed a good thing. If it can be stabilized..." Toby Spider also hopes that the severed arm of the first Dr. Connors can regenerate.
Although he is not as persistent as the second generation Connors, who wouldn't want to be able-bodied? Who wants to be a disabled person?
What's more, Dr. Connors helped him a lot, taught him a lot of knowledge that he couldn't learn from textbooks, and helped him study the spider suit. Toby Spider really wanted to repay him.
【Back to the present, Killian points at Tony.】
[“I came up with an idea that guided me for the next few years! That is to hide my identity! Tony! Thanks to you, I have such a magic weapon! Right?”]
[Tony raised his eyebrows when he heard this.]
[“You just need to operate behind the scenes! Because when you give evil a mask, Bin Laden, Gaddafi or Mandarin! You give people a target!”]
[Tony turned his head and looked aside, saying lightly: "You are no longer an ordinary person!"]
[Killian returned to the table and was about to open his laptop when he suddenly asked, "I assume you've met him?"]
【“Yeah! Mr. Movie King!” Tony complained about Trev. 】
[“I know his acting is a bit exaggerated sometimes, but it’s not my fault! He prefers… He’s a stage actor!” Killian said, looking at Maya and explaining. ]
[“It is said that his King Lear is very popular in Croydon! Who cares! Anyway, the point is, ever since that big guy came down from the sky with a hammer, it has become more popular to get straight to the point!”]
[Tony knew he was talking about Thor, looked at him and asked calmly: "What are you going to do next?"]
【“Well, I just want to repay you in the same way for what you generously gave me before!” He raised his right hand and threw the three small circles in his hand to the ground. 】
[Then he pressed the remote control, and a picture of Pepper tied to a bed was projected. Her body was emitting the same orange-red light as Killian and the others, indicating that she had also been injected with the Extremis virus.]
[“Despair! This is live now! I’m not sure if you understand the situation, but this body is trying to decide whether to accept the desperate virus or just give up!”]
[Looking at Pepper's painful struggle, Tony was extremely angry and tried hard to break free, but he couldn't. Maya watched this scene and closed her eyes silently. ]
[“If she gives up, I can only say that the scene... will definitely be unforgettable for you! But before making a decision, you have to endure great pain!”]
