Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 240 He struck first!

"Tony struck first!"

"Pepper, don't listen to Luca's nonsense! Look at me!"

"Tony stole my watch! And he tried to steal my camera too!"

"You brat!"

"Shut up! You two stand still and behave yourselves!!"

"Hmph!" x2
In the corner of the laboratory, two little kids stood on either side of the wall, each turning their heads away, neither looking defiant.

Upon seeing this, Pepper, who was initially annoyed, immediately felt her anger dissipate.

His lips twitched, and after suppressing the urge to laugh out loud, he stared at the two of them with a straight face and no words.

But.

Pepper can endure it, but that doesn't mean others can.

Gwen, who had half her body huddled behind her, burst out laughing when she saw that these two little devils were actually throwing a tantrum.

However, her smile immediately drew a death stare from two pairs of bright, sparkling eyes.

unfortunately
Hahaha~ So cute!

As she spoke, Gwen, with a smile on her face, stretched out her 'evil hand'.

However, although Tony has also turned into a child, he is still considered an elder.

So Gwen's 'evil hand' naturally landed on Luca's face.

"Slim! Brotherly! Praise your slim figure!"

Seeing Gwen frantically rubbing Luca's face, even Tony stopped throwing a tantrum and immediately laughed happily.

"Hey, you were quite cute when you were a kid, weren't you?"

To his surprise, no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Pepper also reaching out her hand to him.

“Pepe Perbie.”

Tony was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away, afraid of losing face in front of that brat Luca.

However, after leaning against the wall, he nervously noticed that his girlfriend's gaze was clearly a little off.

At this moment, Chili Pepper's expression was neither angry nor annoyed, nor did it have the playful and mischievous air of Gwen.

Instead, it was more like a complex expression mixing together a variety of emotions, including excitement, joy, and disbelief.

Pepper's hand trembled slightly as she reached out to Tony's tender chest, gently pulling down the neckline of his wide vest to reveal a patch of smooth skin.

Immediately, she quickly covered her mouth with her other hand. Warm liquid swirled in her eyes, and finally, unable to hold it in, it flowed down her cheeks and onto her fingertips like pearls from a broken string.

"Tony, you're finally..."

At this moment, Pepper's voice was trembling, her lips were twitching, and a sharp sob rose in her throat, choking all the sound inside.

Her eyes, brimming with tears, were filled with a joy that had been suppressed for a long time.

"It's all done. It's really all done."

Upon hearing Pepper's words, Tony instantly realized something.

He subconsciously looked down at the chest that Little Chili's fingers had touched.

The arc reactor that was originally embedded in his body had disappeared without him knowing when, and even the hole in his chest had completely healed without him knowing when.

And it was precisely because the restored chest looked so natural that Tony hadn't noticed it at all.

At this moment, the two, still immersed in confusion and joy, heard Luca's voice.

"Hmph~ I already told you it's good stuff, but little Tony doesn't appreciate it!"

As he spoke, Luca wore a sour expression, hands on his hips, displaying an arrogant attitude that said, "I'm the best in the world."

However, his face, which was being pinched and distorted by Gwen who was equally stunned, made his words seem completely lacking in force.

"this?"

Tony wanted to ask, but seeing Luca's expression, the words stuck in his throat.

However, Luca wasn't the type to do good deeds anonymously. He slapped Gwen away, then, pulling at his left cheek, explained arrogantly.

"APTX4869 can not only restore the human body to the age of about seven years old, but also expel foreign objects from the body directly through muscle peristalsis."

"Plus, the hamburger I gave you already had some added ingredients. That little hole in your chest? It'll heal in a heartbeat!"

Luca proudly raised his chin, practically saying, "Come on, praise me!"

To everyone's surprise, Tony not only showed no gratitude but also bowed down in gratitude.

Instead, his gaze unconsciously swept over Lucan's right hand, which was fitted with a child-sized prosthetic arm.

"What are you looking at? I already said you added something to it! And APTX4869 is for removing foreign objects, there's no shrapnel in my arm!"

Seeing this, Tony quickly and awkwardly looked away.

It was only then that he noticed that on the disheveled shirt in the center of the laboratory, his own arc reactor lay quietly, along with some faintly visible blood-stained metal shrapnel.

“Luca, thank you.”

Although Tony is arrogant and doesn't know what's good for him.

Now that Luca has solved this long-standing problem for himself, he will naturally be truly grateful.

Meanwhile, Chili Pepper, with tears in her eyes, was also extremely grateful to Luca.

But watching her press little Tony's head and thank him was quite a sight.

It looks exactly like a mother bringing a primary school student who has made a mistake to apologize.

"Okay, okay, there's no need for that, it's kind of awkward."

He said it was "unnecessary," but in reality, Luca was still watching with amusement as Tony was forced to bow to him by Pepper.

However, at that moment, Gwen spoke up again.

"So Luca, why did you take this 4869 drug yourself? And why didn't you change back after taking it?"

After Gwen said this, the room fell into an eerie silence once again.

Tony was immediately alarmed when he saw Luca's stiff smile and blank expression.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his wide but slightly empty crotch, his face full of fear as he asked.

"You...you little brat, you can't turn yourself back, can you?!"

However, after Tony finished speaking, Luca stiffly turned his head to the side, staring at the ceiling, looking so awkward he was almost about to whistle.

Fortunately, just when Tony was about to break down and think he would have to go back to elementary school, Luca finally spoke up.

"Oh, just kidding! Of course there's a way to recover!"

Tony, and even Pepper, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Luca's next words made their hearts jump back into their throats.

"It's the antidote; it just hasn't been prepared yet."

Just as Tony was about to rush forward and fight Luca, Pepper quickly spoke up to ask him a question.

"Luca, how long will it take to prepare this antidote?"

Upon hearing this, Luca's eyes darted around.

Without saying a word, he simply reached out his hand to Tony.

"Give me back my watch!"

Seeing this, Tony, though somewhat reluctant, still handed the [Transformation Watch] to Luca with a sour face.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Luca took the watch, he immediately took off running outside.

At the same time, he didn't forget to shout it out.

"Haha, Pepper, I'll secretly tell you the time later, and I'll give you the antidote then. What you do with it is up to you~"

After saying that, Luca ran out of the Stark family villa without looking back.

All that remained was a stunned Tony and Miss Pepper Potts, whose face inexplicably broke into a smile.
