To be honest, Justin could only describe Tony with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Although he had stepped on Tony without hesitation at the hearing, he now had to get close to Tony. It was hard to describe the feeling that you wanted to strangle him to death but could only be friends with this person.
After Pepper left, Justin immediately hugged Tony, pretending to be very enthusiastic. Tony's expression was as if he had wiped off a piece of shit, and it was very disgusting to step on it, but he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to.
"Is this the first time you've met since the hearing?" Christine asked.
"You mean since his contract with the Department of Defense was terminated?" Tony said pointedly.
"It's not been canceled. It's just on hold."
"Does anyone see any difference between suspension and revocation?" Tony asked.
"Yeah, is there any difference?" Christine asked the same question.
"Um... to be honest, can you please take it away?" Justin took the recorder from Christine's hand. Last time, he was severely punished by Tony's black technology, and the Ministry of Defense canceled the contract with him, which made him face huge losses. This kind of thing cannot be written in the report by reporters.
"Tony, I want to show my products at your Stark exhibition." Justin said as he sat next to Tony.
"sure."
Tony's words made Justin very happy, but his next words made him feel even worse: "If you can invent something useful, I will keep your booth for you."
"He's joking. I have a new invention this year." Justin quickly explained to Christine.
"Mr. Stark, I think you should go and make preparations." After Natasha finished the negotiation, she walked to Tony and said.
"Okay, I get it. Hammer, you have to keep working hard next year." Tony gave a king's contemptuous smile, then stood up and left.
Blood toxins: 53%
For his own health, Tony made a machine that can detect the concentration of palladium in the blood at any time. He remembered that the last time he tested it, it was only 24%, but he didn't expect that it had reached 53% in just a few days.
If the toxins in his blood reach 100%, he will die.
He stood in front of the mirror by the sink, looking at his slightly weathered self in the mirror. Black lines could be seen on his collar, which were signs of palladium invasion. One day, these death-like lines would cover his entire body!
"I love Tony, and Tony loves me too. Tony and I are good friends, not competitors. Objectively speaking, Tony has made a lot for Hammer Industries..." After Tony left, Justin kept trying to explain.
But Christine's attention was not on him at all, but on the TV behind him.
Justin noticed that there was something wrong with Christine's eyes, so he turned around quickly and unexpectedly saw Tony on the screen.
"What's the difference between owning a racing car and participating in a race?" Tony asked the driver next to him.
"You can only know this by getting on the track," said the racing driver.
Tony, who was already fully armed, said to the audience: "I want to drive it myself."
Christine looked excited. After all, Tony's participation in a car race was big news, much more interesting than interviewing the boring Justin Hammer.
Justin looked as if he had seen a ghost. He never dreamed that Tony would race a car himself.
Although he had witnessed Tony's arrogance at the hearing, he found that he had thought too simply. Every time Tony did something, he would push his limits!
"Tony and I are not competitors, you understand?" Justin was still trying to explain.
"Excuse me, I need to make a phone call." Christine didn't bother to pay attention to him. She had to inform the editor-in-chief as soon as possible. She didn't want to miss this important news.
As for Justin, he can go wherever it's cooler.
Pepper looked at the TV in shock. What on earth was Tony doing? She quickly called Natasha over.
"Did you know he was going to race?"
"I just found out too. He never follows the schedule." Natasha also had a headache and really admired Pepper for being able to take such good care of Tony.
Seeing Tony already in the racing car on TV, he sighed and said, "Go find Hogan and ask him to get the briefcase ready."
The so-called briefcase is the Mark 5, a portable steel armor.
"Okay." Natasha nodded and found Hogan who was eating and drinking nearby and explained the situation.
"Oh my God, Tony always does something surprising." Hogan quickly picked up the briefcase and ran towards Pepper.
Suddenly, a man wearing a yellow fire suit, a helmet and a toothpick in his mouth walked towards the track, took off his helmet and tore open his clothes.
He was wearing a simple suit of armor made of circuit boards, wires, chips, etc. There was a familiar energy source on his chest, and two long whips shining with electric light in his hands!
"Oh my God, something unusual happened on the track. A staff member entered the track. It was not clear what happened. This person took off his helmet and walked straight into the track." The commentator's voice and the scenes on the track were played on TV.
Chapter 127: Ivan Vanko's Revenge
Ivan waved the electric whip at Tony's car. Tony braked urgently, but it was of no use. The electric whip directly broke Tony's car into two pieces. The car lost its two front wheels and was sent flying due to the sudden resistance.
The car flew over Ivan's head and fell to the ground. The body of the car was deformed as it rolled to the ground. Tony's seat belt was stuck and he couldn't get free. He watched the man getting closer and closer to him.
"I'm here for revenge, Stark!" Ivan spat out the toothpick in his mouth and said coldly. He waved the electric whip in his hand, wanting to split Tony Stark in two.
Just then, a roar came from behind him, and the following convoy had caught up with them.
If Ivan avoids these racing cars, Tony Stark will most likely break free. The obsession with revenge has penetrated deep into Ivan's heart.
Ivan waved the electric whip, and the terrible electric whip instantly split the black racing car in front into two.
The broken car body spun in the air and slammed into the car behind. Two cars collided with each other, and three or four cars rear-ended each other in succession. The cars behind had no time to brake and were all crashed into a ball.
With a loud bang, a blazing fireball rose up, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.
Everyone in the audience was screaming. Who could have thought that a wonderful game would turn into a terrible disaster?
"Oh my God! We have to go there quickly." Seeing this scene on TV, Pepper was full of worry and urged Hogan to go and pick up Tony.
The two men drove a Rolls-Royce towards the racetrack and left Natasha in the hotel.
Yang Han looked at the man on TV who looked very old, with a few wisps of white hair on his head, a simple device on his back, and two electric whips in his hands, and he also recalled who this guy was.
Ivan Vanko, son of Anton Vanko.
His father Anton was once a Russian physicist. After Anton defected from Russia, he developed the Ark Reactor with Tony Stark's father Howard Stark.
Anton and Howard originally worked together on research on new energy. Anton wanted to make a fortune with new energy. After Howard discovered his evil intentions, he expelled him from the United States and Anton was expelled to cold Siberia.
During these years, he began to drink heavily and lived in a daze every day. It is conceivable that a child growing up in such an environment would definitely not be a good baby. This child is Ivan.
Ivan inherited his father Anton's intelligence and greed. He was also a physicist and had a bright future.
But later, he spent more than ten years in prison for selling nuclear weapons materials to Pakistan.
