Unfortunately, in the end, everyone still didn't get to see the billionaire publicly defecate.
Because another suit of Iron Man armor appeared on the scene.
"The party's over, everyone out!"
The newcomer was Tony's good friend, Colonel Rhodes.
He had donned the Iron Man armor, ready to forcefully end this farce.
But Du Mu saw through it at a glance.
This was clearly Tony deliberately letting him wear it.
Otherwise, how could someone without authorization possibly wear the Iron Man armor? Did they really think Jarvis, the super-intelligent AI, didn't exist?
"Boring."
Du Mu shook his head, his appearance of wishing for chaos left Natasha speechless.
She regretted it.
If she let this guy persuade Tony, she feared Tony wouldn't even last 72 hours.
Natasha quickly said, "You keep an eye on Tony here, I'll go report the situation to Director Fury."
After speaking, she immediately turned and left.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the two suits of Iron Man armor were already fighting, wildly punching each other with their iron fists.
From the ballroom to the gym, from the second floor to the first floor.
For a time, traces of Tony and Rhodes' passionate struggle were everywhere in the mansion.
By the end, both of them were enraged, charging their repulsor rays and simultaneously firing a beam of energy at each other.
Boom!!
The two energy blasts collided violently, instantly unleashing a powerful Impact that spread outwards!
Thankfully, the crowd inside the house had been evacuated beforehand, otherwise, dozens of additional casualties would surely have been added to Tony and Rhodes' record.
When the dust settled, Rhodey, wearing the silver Iron Man armor, flew away without looking back, leaving Tony lying alone in the rubble.
Du Mu kicked away a piece of a shattered panel in front of him, walked up to Tony, and tapped the Iron Man mask with his finger.
"Hey, are you dead yet?"
"Not yet."
The Iron Man mask opened, revealing Tony's exhausted face.
And on his neck, black blood vessels were clearly visible, spreading upwards like circuit patterns.
[NPC: Tony Stark]
[Codename: Iron Man]
[Affection: 70]
[Evaluation: The representative figure of 'rich relying on technology, poor relying on mutation', Tony Stark, Marvel Kryptonian]
[Status: Palladium poisoning]
Good heavens, in one day, he'd gathered two representative figures of 'rich relying on technology, poor relying on mutation'.
Du Mu looked at Tony's miserable state and asked curiously, "You were fine before, how did you suddenly become like this?"
Tony was silent for a few seconds, then slowly began, "It's the reactor... its energy core is palladium, and every time a palladium plate is consumed, a small portion of the element seeps into my blood, gradually destroying my circulatory system."
"But didn't you say that one palladium plate was enough to supply the reactor with energy for decades?"
"That's under minimum power operation. As soon as I put on the suit, energy consumption increases dramatically. I've been searching for a substitute for palladium, trying all possible ratios of all known elements, but ultimately without success."
Perhaps he had kept it in for too long, Tony blurted out his situation all at once.
Du Mu asked in confusion, "So why don't you just install the reactor on the Iron Man armor? That way, the palladium wouldn't flow into your body, would it?"
Tony: "..."
That's right! Why didn't I think of that!
Tony said with a mournful face, "It's too late, it's already too late."
There is basically no treatment plan for palladium poisoning.
After all, no one in history has ever installed a miniature nuclear reactor in their chest; Tony can be said to be the first, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to name this disease after him.
"It's just a poisoning BUFF, is there any need to be so dramatic?"
Du Mu said, pulling out a strangely green potion from his game inventory.
[Item: Antidote Potion (Can cure all poisoning states, synthesis materials include poison glands, seaweed, and coral)]
Before Tony could even ask.
Du Mu directly opened the bottle cap, pinched open Tony's mouth, and poured it in.
"Mmm mmm—!"
Tony was too weak to resist and was forced to drink the viscous green liquid in the bottle.
"Damn it! What the hell did you make me drink?" Tony only felt a strange taste rush to his head.
"Antidote, see for yourself."
Du Mu pulled out a small mirror and held it up to Tony's face.
Through the mirror, Tony was shocked to find that all the black lines on his neck had disappeared!
At the same time, a long-lost sense of lightness flowed through his body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted!
"Sir, the palladium content in your body has dropped to less than 1%, and the symptoms of palladium poisoning have disappeared." Jarvis's voice sounded at the opportune moment.
It actually disappeared!
And it wasn't just alleviated, it was completely cured!
Tony was somewhat disbelieving.
The palladium poisoning that had plagued him for many days and was considered incurable, was actually solved by a bottle of unknown green potion?
"You saved me again."
Tony looked at Du Mu with a complex expression.
Counting it, this was the third time Du Mu had saved his life.
Du Mu waved his hand indifferently, "It's a small matter, consider it a reward for you providing me with so much entertainment tonight."
He took out his phone, opened the album, and played a highlight reel of the evening.
It was the part where Tony publicly drank his own urine.
"When I'm short on money later, I'll post this video and make a fortune. I've even thought of the title: Shocking! Iron Man Drinks Urine in Public!"
Tony: "..."
I feel like I'd rather just die!
...
Not long after, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents arrived on the scene.
Leading them was S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, who had finally left his office.
Behind him was Natasha, who had already changed into a sleek black combat suit.
Tony looked at Natasha's attire and said in surprise, "So you're also a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent? I can't believe you've been hiding so well!"
Seeing this, Du Mu also sighed, "I'm sorry, Tony, actually I'm also an undercover Agent. I've been hiding by your side as a bodyguard all this time, I suppose you couldn't have guessed, right?"
Tony's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
No, I completely guessed it. Even with half my intelligence, one could tell you were an undercover Agent.
Next, Nick Fury ordered all S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to leave the second-floor hall; he wanted to talk to Tony alone.
Du Mu and Natasha went to the first-floor hall.
Under Natasha's speechless gaze, Du Mu naturally opened a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and then looked up at the ceiling with great interest.
"What are you looking at?"
Natasha noticed Du Mu staring at the ceiling and was somewhat puzzled.
"Looking at the subtitles."
Du Mu took a sip of wine, with an expression like he'd discovered a new continent: "I didn't expect Tony's father to be one of our S.H.I.E.L.D. founders. By the way, did you know about this?"
Natasha: "..."
Now I do.
