After returning to Stark Industries, Stark began his investigation.
Although he had absolute confidence in his father, no one would harbor such immense hatred for him, and even for the entire Stark family, without reason.
Through Jarvis, Stark organized all the information left by his father, Howard, and step by step filtered for the name Anton Vanko.
While he was conducting his investigation, Andy arrived at the prison where Ivan Vanko was being held.
He wanted to understand why their hatred was so great, and it was impossible for it to be due to the reactor issue, as Ivan Vanko claimed.
Leaving aside the inconsistency in their reactor technologies, just consider Stark himself.
His reactor was built in a Terrorists' underground Base, and Dr. Ethan could also attest to this.
That was what Stark had created based on the reactor he built at Stark Industries.
And its main purpose was not for combat, but to save his own life.
Although now, due to the Trauma, his body had been completely healed.
But Stark's reactor was not stolen; it was entirely designed by him personally.
In the prison's visitation room, Ivan and Andy sat face to face.
"You are… Andy, the CEO of Orokin Technology?"
Looking at Andy, who had a slight smile on his face, Ivan hesitated.
He was not from America and was not familiar with everything in the U.S.
He had only seen reports about Andy in some media.
However, he was quite familiar with Orokin Technology, as Orokin Technology's products were something he frequently encountered.
Orokin Technology's products could be seen in almost every aspect of people's lives.
"Hello, Mr. Ivan, let's talk about Stark."
Hearing that it was about Stark, Ivan showed great disdain.
He snorted, "The entire Stark family are liars, thieves, who tricked my father into building the reactor, then drove my father away from here."
These were the words his father most frequently said, and after Stark admitted to being Iron Man in front of the media.
His father became very agitated; he believed that Stark was using his technology.
He was driven out of Stark Industries, yet his technology was retained, and now it was being used extensively.
This caused Anton Vanko, who was already gravely ill, to completely collapse onto his sickbed.
After several months of treatment, his life could not be saved.
So, besides the reactor issue, Ivan had more reasons to vindicate his father.
He did not want his father to be looked down upon by everyone, even after his death.
He wanted to prove to everyone that his father was an outstanding scientist, not a complete failure.
Seeing Ivan's disdainful expression, Andy smiled, "If you want to beat Stark up, I'd be very happy to see it, but you're using the wrong method."
Hearing Andy's words, Ivan was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected Andy to show such an attitude; when he was arrested by the Police, he had seen that Andy and Stark had a very good relationship.
He didn't expect such a person to also be somewhat displeased with Stark, which brought a smile to his face.
As a warrior nation, he had the straightforward personality of a Russian.
As long as you don't stop me from beating him up, then we are friends.
However, Ivan didn't understand the method Andy mentioned; before coming here to retaliate against Stark.
He had been running their family's car repair and modification business with his father, almost every day holed up in the workshop repairing all kinds of cars.
This was also why, despite looking very sturdy, he didn't possess any advanced combat skills.
He came here to retaliate against Stark, even if it meant both of them perishing, he would not hesitate.
Looking at Ivan's puzzled expression, Andy pulled out his phone.
It displayed a virtual projection, showing Ivan the various businesses that Stark Industries now covered.
"Actually, you should start a company. I believe with your technology, it could quickly develop into a huge company.
I believe your father would rather you defeat Stark with technology than try to fight him to the death.
We are scientists; the battle between scientists relies on our wisdom, not on trying to fight each other to the death."
Listening to Andy's explanation, Ivan nodded in agreement.
He agreed with Andy's statement and understood that his approach had some problems.
If he were killed, perhaps Stark would fall into public controversy.
But that didn't mean others would remember that there was a father and son named Vanko in this World who once created technology that could rival Stark.
And if he killed Stark, he would also be arrested by the U.S. Police and ultimately pay with his life for Stark.
In the end, people still wouldn't remember that he possessed the technology to defeat Stark; they would only remember that he killed Stark.
"But all my belongings have been sold; now I only have that reactor and those two electrical Whiplash."
Although he understood his current problem, Ivan had long run out of money.
To get from Siberia to America, he had almost depleted all his assets.
Even when he appeared at the car race, he genuinely applied for a cleaning job.
Although his main goal there was to kill Stark, he also wanted to earn some money to satisfy his basic needs.
"Haha, that's no problem. After Stark finishes his investigation, you can start a company with Ethan.
I believe with the technology of you two, the company can quickly develop."
Andy had great confidence in their technology; Hunter's Tavern had become watertight under Dr. Ethan's modifications.
A large number of weapons were installed in every corner of Hunter's Bar, a capability Dr. Ethan had never shown before.
If Ivan's technology was added, the two of them might be able to create something different.
Seeing Ivan's confused look, Andy explained to him:
"Ethan escaped from the Terrorists with Stark; he once helped Stark. You can talk to him more about Stark."
Hearing this, Ivan nodded in realization; he suddenly became interested in Ethan.
This person who could help Stark filled him with curiosity.
Even though he disliked Stark, he still admitted that Stark was a genius.
If it weren't for the reactor issue, he might never have interacted with Stark in his life.
And this Dr. Ethan, who could help Stark, must possess extraordinary technology.
If not, Andy wouldn't have introduced this Dr. Ethan to him.
After talking with Andy, Ivan changed his initial thoughts; he no longer wanted to fight Stark to the death. He wanted to defeat Stark with technology.
This strong man from Siberia now had a clear goal: he wanted to let everyone in the World know that Stark was not the only one who possessed super technology.
He!
Ivan Vanko!
Possessed the power to change the World.
He wanted to tell the World that the Vanko family was no worse than Stark.
After Andy left, Ivan also returned to his cell.
He lay on the bed with his arms under his head, contemplating the issues with the reactor technology.
In his battle with Stark, he realized that his reactor had some power supply deficiencies.
Although the two electrical Whiplash were powerful, they caused the reactor to operate somewhat overloaded.
Theoretically, this was impossible because the reactor's energy supply was far greater than the consumption of the two electrical Whiplash.
While he was thinking, the prison guard outside called him again.
"Ivan Vanko, someone wants to see you."
Hearing the prison guard call him again, Ivan followed the guard out of his cell, puzzled.
He found it very strange; when he was in Siberia, not so many people came to see him.
But in America, he couldn't even stay quietly in his cell.
It seemed everyone knew him, which made him somewhat at a loss.
Arriving at the visitation room, Ivan saw a man wearing glasses in front of him.
He looked somewhat flamboyant, not at all as low-key as Andy.
"You're the one looking for me?"
After leaving the prison, Andy drove towards Hunter's Tavern.
Before he came to visit Ivan, he had already received an invitation from Jessica and the others.
Their racing instructor was planning to gather with them at Hunter's Tavern.
And Jessica and the others took this opportunity to turn it into a big party.
It was also a holiday for the staff at Hunter's Bar, allowing everyone to relax.
Andy's car stopped in front of Hunter's Bar, which had already been decorated by Jessica and the others to be unrecognizable from its original appearance.
And Jessica, standing outside, was still constantly directing Shang-Chi and Hector to decorate Hunter's Bar's walls.
"Left, left.
Ah! No, it's right.
Emmm, a little more to the left, I guess."
The two moved left and right continuously under Jessica's direction.
"Jessica, can you decide on a place? We've done this three times already."
Shang-Chi, standing on the ladder, looked helplessly at Jessica; he thought it was good enough as it was.
But Jessica, for some unknown reason, was never satisfied and kept repeatedly moving the decorations.
Hearing Shang-Chi's complaint, Jessica glared at him and said:
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Saying that, she also extended her fist and gestured a few times towards Shang-Chi.
Seeing Jessica's threat, Shang-Chi remembered the beatings he had taken from Jessica.
He quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, how could I? How could I have any objections? Ah! The boss is here."
Shang-Chi, who was apologizing, saw Andy get out of the car.
He said happily, and while Jessica turned her head.
He slid down the ladder and ran off with Hector, carrying the ladder.
They couldn't stand it anymore; it looked great as it was, why keep adjusting the positions of these decorations?
When Jessica turned back, the two were long gone.
"Damn it, you're finished, Shang-Chi, I'm going to beat you down today."
Shouting at Hunter's Bar, Jessica angrily ran into Hunter's Bar.
That guy actually took advantage of her greeting the boss to run off with the ladder.
Watching the playful group, Andy laughed.
With them around, this place would always remain vibrant.
Entering Hunter's Bar, it was filled with joyful laughter.
Watching Shang-Chi scurry around, head in hands, under Jessica's pursuit, everyone burst into laughter.
Such a joyful scene had not appeared for a long time; even Shang-Chi and Jessica themselves laughed out loud.
But even so, Shang-Chi still didn't escape Jessica's grasp.
His ear was pinched by Jessica, "Where else do you plan to run? Now go and get the ladder and rearrange the decorations immediately."
Saying that, Jessica laughed again. She saw Shang-Chi's face turn bright red from her pinching his ear, looking very much like a red ball.
However, amidst her laughter, Jessica also raised her hand and rubbed his ear that she had pinched red.
Looking at Jessica's pained expression, Andy asked Whistler:
"What's going on with those two? They look like…"
Whistler wiped the wine glass in his hand, leaned down, and whispered into Andy's ear, "Like they're in love, right? Those two little rascals have been together for a while now."
They were the first couple in Hunter's Bar, but they had never announced the news to everyone.
