Ivan also knew this problem, but for him, this was actually part of his plan.
With his material foundation in Russia where he could barely afford three meals a day, there was no way he could defeat Tony, who was one of the world's richest men.
So he chose another way, a slow way to death.
Otherwise, he would have killed Tony with the first whip, so why would he wait until Pepper gave Tony the Iron Man armor?
He just wanted to pull Tony down from the altar, and then watch Tony being torn to pieces alive by the capitalists.
Chapter 130: Tony's Poor Craftsmanship
"If you can make God bleed, then no one will believe he's omnipotent anymore. Your myth is shattered, and your opponent is about to arrive. Actually, all I have to do is sit back and watch the fight between the tigers, and watch you get swallowed up by this world."
His words were like sharp arrows that pierced his heart. Ivan's words made him understand his purpose of attacking him even if it meant risking his life.
That means he will tear off his protective shell and put himself under the gun of those who have been targeting him.
He had boasted to the world that his skills were unique, but in a flash, Ivan's appearance proved how ridiculous his words were.
It would be fine if it was just ridiculous, but the deeper meaning is that it directly puts Tony in the most dangerous place.
It is the place where the world's major powers clash over arms escalation, and this is the most deadly thing.
In the past, Tony could use the unique technology in his hands to block the actions of those people in the Ministry of Defense. People were afraid of his power, and also because this technology now only appeared in the hands of one person and could not affect the international situation, so they were more restrained.
But when Ivan demonstrated this technology, the delicate balance was broken, and no one knew how many people actually possessed this technology.
No matter who or which country it is, as long as they take the lead at this time, they may change the world's military situation.
No one will deny that Iron Man technology is a powerful weapon that can change the world's military landscape. It is precisely because of this understanding that the Ministry of Defense is even more restless.
You have to know that Ivan is a Russian, and that big bear in the Far East has always been their most powerful competitor.
In this situation, they will never let Tony continue to be so willful. Even if they have to use any other means, they must get Iron Man from Tony.
In the eyes of the country, Hulk is also a military weapon, but it is too difficult to copy Hulk, and the sacrifices and costs required are too great. But Iron Man is different. To put it bluntly, Iron Man is made up of a bunch of electronic plates and a pile of steel. It is a miracle that can be copied.
So, no matter what, the pressure from the United States will definitely be great next, and Tony also knows the dirty tricks of these politicians, even Pepper will be in danger.
Tony, who had already understood the deeper meaning of Ivan's actions, could no longer calmly continue to communicate with him. He simply said, "Where can you watch me being devoured by the world? In prison? I will provide you with toiletries."
After saying that, Tony stood up and was about to leave. Seeing Tony stand up and leave, Ivan smiled and said, "Hey, Tony, you should know that palladium poisoning can be fatal, and it's an ugly death."
Tony paused for a moment before opening the door, then regained his composure and walked out of the interrogation room.
When Ivan saw Tony leaving, he laughed sarcastically. He was looking forward to Tony's fate.
"Let's go, I think we should go back." Seeing Tony coming back from prison, Pepper had packed up all her things and was waiting for Tony to come back, and then they would get on a private plane and fly back to the United States together.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you going back now?" Tony couldn't help but ask when he saw Pepper had packed up everything.
"Why don't you go back? Should I let you continue to mess around? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? You almost died!" Pepper scolded angrily.
Tony touched his nose and knew that Pepper was really angry. He did not refute and quickly said, "Okay, honey, I'll listen to you."
The group boarded a private plane and flew to the United States.
After the plane took off, Tony found Natasha and asked, "Natasha, can you cook?"
Tony's sudden question made Natasha a little confused. As if wanting to prove that she hadn't heard it wrong, Natasha asked, "What?"
"Can you cook?" Tony asked again.
"Uh, yes, what's wrong?" Natasha asked curiously.
"Could you please teach me?" Tony said with forced calmness.
"Are you hungry? There are chefs on the plane, and I think they would be happy to prepare airplane meals for you," said Natasha.
"Of course not. I think it's better to cook for girls myself to please them," Tony explained awkwardly. "Okay! In the past, when he picked up girls, they would just come up to him and he would pay them."
How do you know how to coax a girl?
"Then you should go to the chef, not me. The chef is a professional." Natasha explained.
"No, no, no, I just want to make some simple meals with a warm family atmosphere. What the chefs make are, uh... too fancy, I can't do it." Tony racked his brains to think of words to defend himself, and finally told the truth.
"Okay." Natasha shrugged. She really didn't know why this guy was looking for her. She was not a good family woman.
The willful Tony drove all the chefs out of the kitchen and decided to do it himself.
"Where should we start?" Tony asked, putting on his apron.
"Let's fry the steak. It's very simple. You just need to watch the heat and keep the beef tender." Natasha said.
"Okay." Tony couldn't help rubbing his hands. He thought cooking was quite fun.
Half an hour later.
Natasha looked at the burnt, half-cooked steak and covered her forehead helplessly. This was already the fifth steak that had been ruined, and these steaks were Wagyu beef. What is Wagyu? It's Kobe beef from Japan. It's world-famous beef, the highest quality beef, and the best quality. It's not sold on the market, but who can blame American dads for wanting it?
A piece of this top-quality beef can be sold for at least 20,000 US dollars on the market. In just a short period of time, 100,000 US dollars was gone, which is equivalent to 700,000 RMB.
Evil rich people.
Yang Han looked at the wasted Kobe beef with envy and jealousy. He also wanted to waste it in this way. He once had an ideal, which was to buy two fried dough sticks and two bowls of soy milk for breakfast every day, drink one bowl and pour out one bowl.
Unfortunately, Yang Han never even realized such a small ideal.
"Frying steak is quite difficult. Why don't we try something simpler?" Tony suggested with a red face after throwing away the waste steak again.
"Then let's fry the eggs. You just need to beat the eggs in the pan and fry them until both sides are golden brown." Natasha said.
"Of course, I won't fail this time." Tony said confidently.
Natasha expressed her disbelief. This guy almost set the kitchen on fire. If Natasha had not been quick enough to cover the pot, the plane would have caught fire.
Chapter 131: Ivan escapes from prison
"Ahem, wow, cooking is so hard." Tony said with an awkward smile as he looked at the burnt fried egg in the pan.
"It's not that cooking is difficult, but you simply don't have the talent for it." Natasha answered truthfully.
It's been half an hour, and the frying step is the most difficult. I could say that the steak steps were very complicated before, but... it's just a fried egg, and more than 20 eggs were wasted. The best case is now, half golden and half burnt.
"I think it's pretty good now, isn't it? It really shows my feelings, doesn't it?" Tony said with an awkward smile.
"As long as you're happy." Natasha rolled her eyes and walked out of the kitchen.
