Sentinel

Chapter 129 In the Backstage
"The wind speed is 30 miles, the altitude is 15000 feet, you can enter the landing zone now..."

Following the driver's notification, Tony jumped out of the hatch wearing steel armor.

Red and gold, the cool-looking steel armor falls from the sky in a free-falling posture amidst dazzling colorful fireworks. The sound of passionate music resounds across the stage, and the lights focus on the Iron Man with his hands outstretched. Falling down, a row of hot back-up dancers behind them kicked their dazzling long legs, cheers and applause from below the stage.

This is the Stark Industries Expo in Flushing, New York. Despite Pepper's dissuasion, Tony insisted on holding this grand solo show.

The circular stage under his feet rotated and opened, and several automatic mechanical arms protruded from it, efficiently dismantling the steel armor on Tony's body, feeling the overwhelming cheers from below, the playboy in a black suit expressed his enjoyment, he loved it This feeling that the eyes of the whole world are focused on me comes from people's passionate call, which ignites the heart that is gradually eroded by palladium poison.

The flag of the United States was fluttering on the huge screen, and Tony was standing in the center of the stage. He had just finished handling the hearings held by the Military Commission not long ago. After reasoning and strong resistance, it still ended without a problem.

Although those energy giants still release negative comments about new energy from time to time, such exaggerated and false reports cannot interfere with Tony's unwavering determination. At this time, Iron Man is full of confidence. As a merchant, he can still build a new energy era belonging to Stark!

"Justin Hammer's jumping clown, how can he be compared with himself." Tony thought of the other party's funny appearance at the hearing, and couldn't help laughing to himself.

"Some people say that the world is at peace for so long because of my existence, others say that playboy Tony Stark is reborn from the ashes and transformed into a superhero, and Uncle Sam can sit on a lounge chair and drink ice cream. Tea, all because there is a meddling and capable Iron Man defending the world and maintaining peace..."

With the same narcissistic tone as before, Tony was like a big star, immersing himself in the carnival shouts of the audience, and the flame of enthusiasm almost ignited the night sky.

As Pepper said, Stark Industries has recently been subject to controversy and public criticism. After losing the Ministry of Defense as a backer, the transformation of this giant in the military industry has been quite difficult. New energy has been coldly received by the market. The board of directors is also full of dissatisfaction. If there is no female secretary to mediate, I am afraid that Tony would have been tormented by this mess.

"But I want to say that these are not true. The long-term world peace is not thanks to me, and the power of individuals is not enough to turn decay into magic. What a person does is not important-heritage is the most important! We What should be left for the future, so starting next year, for the first time since 1974, outstanding talents from different countries and fields around the world will be here to share their common vision and create a better future! "

"...We are not important, the legend is behind me, thank you, please don't talk about me anymore-welcome everyone to the Stark Industries Expo."

The huge high-definition screen on the stage began to play the speech video of Howard Stark, the former chairman of Stark Industries and Tony's long-dead father, decades ago.

Tony stepped off the stage, took a deep breath, and seemed to be full of nostalgia for the enthusiastic cheers that erupted just now. He liked the lights, the stage and people's eager eyes. For him, soon this playboy with countless auras and multiple identities will no longer be able to enjoy this wonderful feeling.

"I don't know if anyone will feel sad after I leave, um, Little Pepper will definitely cry unbearably."

Standing in the empty backstage, Tony took out a portable blood detector, which showed that the toxin content in the blood had increased a lot more than before. He curled his lips and sighed insignificantly.

Death has always been the greatest fear of human beings, and it is also the final destination.

"It's really rare, Tony Stark will be humble sometimes." A joking voice came from behind.

"Damn! Why can I see you everywhere!" Tony put away the blood tester in his hand, and turned to look at Sean who appeared here for some reason.

To be honest, he seldom appreciates a certain person, and rarely hates a certain person, because most of them are not qualified to be recognized by him, while others are not even treated as hated and despised by him.

However, the black-haired young man in front of him had both of them.Tony, who has known the other party's experience, admires Sean's rise from obscurity to fame, but because of a certain man's unique psychology, he doesn't like him at the same time. Maybe it's something at the last dance that made him The playboy subconsciously regarded Sean as an imaginary enemy.

"This is an invitation from Miss Potts. I heard that the transformation of Stark Industries has not been successful. At present, it has only received orders for wind power plants and waste gas treatment plants. It just so happens that Osborne Industries also has some ideas about new energy sources."

Sean spread his hands. Of course he knew that Tony Stark, who seemed to be willful and reckless, was actually prepared in his heart. The decision to close the weapons manufacturing factory was not a whim. The other party found a bigger gold mine. If the new energy Successfully opening up the market will have broad prospects, enough to change the pattern of the world.

That's why those energy giants keep finding fault with Stark Industries. Just imagine, how can the group power relying on the old energy system to monopolize the market allow Tony to break the inherent system and play according to the opponent's game rules again? , Secretly promoting the holding of the hearing is only the first step, and there will be more drastic measures waiting for this playboy in the future.

Sean restrained his smile and said softly: "Perhaps you don't know, Osborne Industries also has a good development in the energy field, such as the smart grid, the power supply and circuit erection of the entire New York City, almost all of which are completed by us. And Dr. Otto of Umbrella, he has been trying to create a cheap and efficient new type of energy, presumably you should have heard of the artificial sun project."

Tony is no longer the previous tit-for-tat. He has heard a little about Dr. Otto. If Umbrella hadn't been a step ahead, he would have planned to hire him as the head of the energy department of Stark Industries.

"I'll leave these things to Pepper, you don't have to tell me." Glancing at the young face, Tony felt a gloomy feeling in his heart.

"As a fairly qualified biologist, I have to remind Mr. Stark that the death method of palladium poisoning...is very painful."

Sean could see the faintly blackened blood vessels under the makeup, and the palladium toxin was like a coquettish flower that absorbed Tony's vitality, spreading from his chest to his neck, about to kill this proud playboy.

"It's not that you don't have a choice, Tony, before the toxins have completely eroded your body, you still have a chance to save it."

The man called Iron Man was silent for a moment, his cynical face showed a rare expression of solemnity, and his slightly dim eyes regained their brilliance.

"You won't understand." Tony pointed to his chest, where is the Ark reactor, "We always have to leave something for this world after we die. My father founded Stark Industries and let the family's name be imprinted. In history, Tony Stark's departure will not be remembered by people, he is just a lucky man who is unrestrained, but Iron Man is worthy of everyone's memory."

"Is this Tony Stark's hero complex?" Sean asked.

"It's every man's hero complex," Tony replied.

The young man looked at the bearded man with persistent eyes, and said softly: "If there is wine now, I would like to have a drink with you—to Iron Man."

"I'm not in the habit of drinking with men." Tony smiled freely, and his back disappeared into the shadow of the background.
