Chapter 97 Tony: What's wrong with me being a genius and showing off? Is that not okay? [Eight Updates]
"So, Fury, how many things are you hiding from me?" Tony Stark asked.
Nick Fury was also a little embarrassed. Originally, because Tony Stark was not poisoned by palladium this time, the new element left by Howard Stark did not necessarily need to be mentioned specifically, but now it was exposed by Lin Feng.
"It's not much, but now you know it, don't you?" Nick Fury said directly with a dark face and a dark heart, without any panic.
Tony Stark glanced at Nick Fury. He knew that there must be something hidden, and a big secret at that, otherwise it would not be possible.
Because the issues involved here are already government-level matters.
This Anton Vanke sounds like his father's partner, and will he meet Anton Vanke's son in the future?
I have to go back and investigate this matter carefully.
After all, Anton Vanke was expelled from the country, which means that some secrets may have been involved, and in the end even led to the government's intervention.
In that era, it was a critical time for the US-Soviet rivalry. Those top scientists were surrounded by spies. And Anton Vanko, whose name was known to be a Russian, would definitely not be trusted.
According to his consistent understanding of the nature of the US government, it is possible that after developing the technology, the US government will simply abandon it and drive it away. As for whether Anton Vanke really wants to sell the technology abroad, that is no longer important.
He is a Russian, and that is his original sin.
Not to mention, if, as Nick Fury said, he wanted to sell the technology to the Russian government, he would be lucky not to be killed.
Before he could think about it, Tony Stark in the video asked, "You said I haven't tried everything. What do you mean? What haven't I tried?"
Faced with the hope of life, he finally couldn't hold back.
"He said that only you have the resources and wisdom to complete the plan he started!" Nick Fury raised his glass and said.
When Tony Stark heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He never thought that his father would think so highly of him.
Because ever since he could remember, his father had very high expectations of him. Other children getting an A was enough to make their parents proud, but for him, it was just the basics.
He never hears a word of praise.
In the end, I even had to send myself to boarding school.
This is also why the two sides later fell out, and he decided to do the opposite of what his father wanted him to be.
He wants to be serious and earnest, so he becomes absurd and unrestrained.
He wants to have a clean record, so he plays as hard as he can.
He wishes he could be like a traditional Puritan, and then he would become a playboy known to the whole world.
In the end, they didn't even see each other for the last time.
As far as he knew, his father had never been satisfied with him and was always dissatisfied.
But he heard a different evaluation from Nick Fury, and he was stunned.
In the video, Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark leisurely and said, "Is he talking about you?"
"If it's you, you can solve the mystery in your heart!" Nick Fury said mysteriously.
Tony Stark shook his head and said, "I don't know how you know all this, but he doesn't think much of me!"
"What do you remember about your dad?" Nick Fury asked.
Thinking of this, Tony Stark suddenly felt the urge to confide. He said, "He's very cold and scheming. He's never said he loves me, nor has he ever said he likes me. Now you tell me he can change the future, but I find it hard to believe! And he passed this responsibility on to me. I don't understand why his happiest day was the day he sent me to boarding school!"
"No, he's not like that!" Nick Fury said while drinking water.
"Oh? Then it's obvious that you know my dad better than I do!" Tony Stark said with a sneer.
Tony Stark outside the screen also had mixed feelings. It turned out that his father had such expectations for him in his heart?
In the blink of an eye, it has been twenty years since my parents passed away. It has been so long that if I don't think about it specifically, I can't even remember what my parents looked like.
I have also grown from a rebellious teenager to a rebellious middle-aged man.
He even doesn't know whether his current rebelliousness is his true nature or just a rebellious habit from his youth. He was rebelling back then to show off to his father, so who can he rebel to now?
No one can see it, and no one will come.
I will never have the chance to reconcile with my father again!
He never had the chance to change his image of a naughty kid in his father's mind. What was even more regrettable was that he never had the chance to let his father know that he had changed, that he had not only taken on the responsibility of Stark Industries, but also carried it forward.
Immediately afterwards, Nick Fury in the video revealed a shocking piece of news. It turned out that Howard Stark was one of the founding fathers of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Of course, Tony Stark in this timeline knew about this.
Nick Fury didn't stay long in the picture, because he had a meeting in the afternoon. He just left a message for Tony Stark: "Oh, Tony, remember, I'll keep an eye on you!"
Hearing this, Tony Stark off-screen couldn't help but grumble, "Fury, you're such a show-off! Do you remember what you said when you first appeared in front of me? Do you think you're the only superhero in the world? You said that after you broke into my private territory and cut off my power!"
Nick Fury was a little embarrassed. Ever since he became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it had become a habit for him to speak in a mystical way.
"That's right, Tony. Fury's love of showing off is a perfect match for you. It's hard to tell the two of you apart." Natasha, the Black Widow, nodded and complained about both of them in one breath.
She has been holding it in for too long. These two pretentious people are more pretentious than the other. One likes to pretend to be mysterious, and the other likes to show off. They are different types, but equally hateful.
Tony Stark almost choked to death. He was the one who complained about Nick Fury, so why did he become the one who complained about himself?
Well, even if we take a step back and say that I like to show off, so what?
He is a multi-billionaire, a super genius, a physicist, and the world's most popular superhero Iron Man. After being busy for half his life, shouldn't he be able to enjoy himself?
Can't you show off?
Who doesn't have a hobby?
Just as Tony Stark was gritting his teeth, he had already opened the box left to him by Nick Fury in the picture. Inside were the design drawings, the arc reaction device, numbered TFTR-1, Vanke, Stark.
But a moment later he found a videotape, and when he played it, Tony Stark saw Howard Stark appear on the screen.
Tony Stark's eyes turned red outside the screen. He almost didn't remember his father being so young and vigorous. It seemed like a vague impression in his memory, and that was when he was very young.
By the time he reached adolescence and began to have memories, his father had already become very old.
Because Howard Stark was already very old when Tony Stark was born, most of Tony Stark's impressions of his father are that he is white-haired, cold and old-fashioned.
Now seeing the middle-aged Howard Stark, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are not around.
Howard Stark in the video said with great enthusiasm: "Everything can be achieved through technology: a better life, a healthier body, and the possibility of maintaining world peace for the first time in human history!"
Iron Man was lying on the sofa, flipping through the notes left by his father, listening to his father's voice, and writing and drawing on his mobile phone.
"I'm Howard Stark, and everything you need for the future is right here! Future City, Capital of Tomorrow, Future City, wait a minute!"
In the ancient picture, Howard Stark is pacing back and forth, introducing the invention he is proud of.
"I'm Howard Stark. Everything you need for your future is here. I want to personally help Stark Industries..."
He was halfway through his speech when a child appeared behind him.
"Tony, what are you doing? What is that? Put it back, put it back where it came from!"
Howard Stark spoke up.
The sudden appearance of the young Tony Stark also attracted everyone's attention. It turns out that this showy Tony Stark actually had a childhood?
If Tony Stark knew what they were thinking, he would probably be speechless. No one is born out of thin air, and everyone has a childhood. That's what he said.
"Tony, where is your mother, Maria? Go, go, take him away!" Howard Stark asked someone to take the young Tony Stark away.
Tony Stark looked as if it was just as he expected. His father had always been impatient and indifferent towards him. It was a typical father-son relationship in an old white man's family.
A moment later, Howard Stark reappeared.
At this time, he smiled and said while drinking, "Are you waiting for me?"
What followed was another burst of behind-the-scenes footage, which didn't seem to contain any memorable moments.
Iron Man stood up helplessly. It was another fruitless day. He put down his notebook and took a sip of wine. But suddenly, Howard Stark in the picture became serious.
"Tony, you're still too young to understand, so I'll film this for you first. This is all made for you!"
These words shocked both Tony Stark, who was inside and outside the screen.
