Tony happily put the fried eggs into the plate, covered it with a lid, and carried it to the front cabin.
"It's unbelievable. It turns out that when the devil escaped from his cage, that man was completely helpless. In the devil's eyes, the Iron Man suit was just a toy. I think at the last hearing, Mr. Stark vowed that this suit wouldn't appear anywhere else in the next five to ten years. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. But we discovered in Monaco that this suit is already there without a doubt..."
As Tony walked to the cabin door, he heard the remarks made by the congressman who had presided over the hearing. Looking at his barely concealed smile, Tony's good mood disappeared instantly.
"Shizune."
Hearing Tony's voice, Pepper also pressed the mute button.
"He should give me the Medal of Justice, seriously," Tony said, sitting across from Pepper.
"What is this?" Pepper asked, looking at the plate Tony brought.
"Your flight meal." Tony opened the lid, revealing a fried egg that was half uncooked and half burnt.
"Did you make this just now?" Pepper asked. Seeing the flight meal in front of her, although it looked terrible, the inexplicable anger in her heart dissipated a lot.
"Of course, so what do you think I'm doing?" Tony said.
"Tony, is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Pepper asked, staring into Tony's eyes.
"I..." Tony recalled the black veins that covered almost his entire body, shook his head, and said, "What can I hide from you?"
Looking at Pepper's sincere eyes, Tony didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became dull.
On the other side, Ivan, who was imprisoned in Monaco, was waiting for his prison meal.
To be honest, he really thought he would rot in jail for the rest of his life.
When he was preparing to eat, he found something else in a plate brought by the guard.
The food in prison is really hard to describe, but Ivan saw a note on his plate today. He opened the note out of curiosity, and there was only one sentence on it - please enjoy your mashed potatoes.
Ivan thought it was a prank, curled his lips and was about to throw the note away, but he found that something was wrong with the mashed potatoes. He turned it over and found that the mashed potatoes had been tampered with. A time bomb with a 35-second countdown was installed on it!
Just then, a guard opened the cell door and brought in a prisoner. He quickly hid the mashed potatoes behind his back.
The new prisoner sat opposite him, and he found that the number on the prisoner's uniform was exactly the same as his. Then he looked at the time bomb on the mashed potatoes in his hand, and he suddenly understood something.
Ivan gave the prisoner a malicious smile, then pounced on him, grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall.
The prisoner was knocked unconscious immediately, and at this moment, the guard came over and placed the key on the window of the cell door.
Ivan stuck the mashed potatoes on the wall, activated the time bomb, opened the cell door with the key, and slowly walked out of the cell humming a little tune.
A guard not far away was stunned when he saw this scene. What was going on? Why did the prisoner walk out of the cell so openly?
"Hey, stop, what are you doing?" The policeman walked over.
Ivan stopped, feeling somewhat helpless. Wouldn't it be better to be alive? Without the slightest hesitation, he punched him in the stomach, grabbed his head with both hands, and twisted his neck with both hands.
Then there was a loud bang, and the time bomb exploded, flames shot out, and in an instant, the entire prison was filled with shrill alarms.
He didn't run far before he was caught by two guards. They first handcuffed Ivan and put a black hood on his head, then ran all the way to the basement of the prison, took him out of the prison, and threw him into a car.
It turns out that all this was planned. Someone wanted to help Ivan escape from prison. Although Ivan didn't know who that person was, he was still very grateful to him. After all, without that person, he would never escape.
It seems that the man also has a grudge against Tony. Perhaps the two of them can join forces to kill Tony completely.
In the previous racing competition, Ivan's appearance disrupted everything. Justin watched the whole battle in front of the TV. He saw Ivan beating Iron Man to a pulp, and he knew that his chance had come.
Justin suffered a great loss in the last hearing. The government and the military wanted to use him to obtain Iron Man's armor, but his performance was disappointing. After the hearing, the military and the Ministry of Defense were very dissatisfied with Justin and canceled the contract between them.
You know, Justin is different from Tony in the past. They both managed to grow their companies without relying on the government, but Justin is different. He is mainly a government agent. Who is more noble, a man or a dog? That's why he hates Tony so much that he wants to strangle him to death.
The appearance of Ivan gave him hope. If this person could help him create a battle armor stronger than Iron Man, he would be able to vent his anger, destroy Tony's prestige, and even make the government pay attention to him, turning him from a dog into a partner.
To be honest, that's all Justin's ambition is.
For a nouveau riche like Justin, getting a prisoner out of jail is just a matter of making a phone call.
In this way, he successfully found a scapegoat, and then rescued Ivan, who was originally going to spend the rest of his life in prison, and brought him here.
When Ivan opened his eyes, he found himself brought to a bright space, which seemed to be a huge hangar, because he saw a private plane right in front of him.
And under the private plane, there was actually a dining table. A blond man wearing a white suit and glasses was sitting on the table eating ice cream.
"Look who's here!" Justin smiled when he saw Ivan coming. "How could you treat my friend like this? Take off his handcuffs!"
Chapter 132: Ivan's Request
Ivan's brow furrowed. Could this be the man who saved him? The blond man before him behaved frivolously, his eyes filled with arrogance and pride. He certainly didn't look like a smart person.
"Excuse me, I'm your biggest fan. I didn't expect our first meeting would be like this. He's not a beast, hurry up. He's a human being, thank you." Justin put his hands in his pockets and urged the police to unlock Ivan's handcuffs.
"Sir, he is..." The policeman wanted to say something but was interrupted by Justin.
"Let's go."
"But..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Justin waved his hand and said.
The policeman had no choice but to leave.
After the policeman left, Justin immediately shook hands with Ivan and said, "My name is Justin Hammer, billionaire, partner of the Ministry of Defense, and president of Hammer Industries. I want to make a deal with you. Please take a seat."
Justin made a gesture of invitation and sat down on the chair first. Ivan sat down opposite Justin without any hesitation.
"Please have your meal. What shall we eat, Jack?" Justin asked his butler.
"We have some salmon fillets, sir," said Jack.
"Salmon fillet? Uh-huh, we have everything here. I like to start with dessert. This is flown in from San Francisco. It's from Italy. It's organic ice cream. I have a sweet tooth, and apparently you do too. And Tony Stark." Justin said proudly.
Ivan also felt a little contempt in his heart. This guy was just like a nouveau riche. He was far inferior to Tony Stark in terms of quality. Tony was richer than him, but he never showed off.
However, in order to take revenge on Tony, Ivan had no choice but to endure Justin's nagging, which was like giving alms to a beggar.
"I saw you fighting Tony Stark on the track. I saw you rushing towards him, right in front of everyone. It was really unforgettable. Your behavior shocked me greatly. You know I will pay attention to you, so I can't just ignore you and let you do whatever you want. That would be such a waste of talent. If I were you, you know? I would never just kill him. I think, with all due respect, you should find out his technology and then destroy it. You and I are similar in many ways. The only difference between us is that I have abundant resources. I think, with all due respect, you need my powerful resources. You need someone to support you and someone to provide you with funding. I am willing to play that role." Justin Hammer talked in a nagging manner, and his self-righteous tone was very annoying.
At least that's how Ivan felt. Who was this guy? He had never heard of him before, so if he hadn't heard of him, he was just a minor character.
Ivan laughed mockingly and said, "If anyone wants to kill me, please don't wake me up. Do you know who said that?"
"Dude, you're being subtle, but I think I can. I don't know if you understand what I just said." Justin was confused. Who said that? Why hadn't he heard of it?
"I understand, of course I understand, I understand very well." Ivan said with a smile, which also further confirmed the idea that Ivan was a fool.
