Tony knew he would lose if Happy hadn't been there; he'd only been saving face earlier. So he asked Ye Li, "What are you practicing?"
He wanted to learn... Compared to these clever moves, what was the boxing he had practiced before?
"Basic martial arts skills".
Ye Li replied to Tony, then asked the girls, "Have you figured out the strategy?"
"See it clearly!"
Skye clapped her hands, acting like a fangirl, "Li, you're so handsome~"
"It looks pretty impressive."
Felicia's slender hands mastered the art of clenching a fist, demonstrating her understanding of this fighting style.
Maybe if I master this, I won't have to worry about those clueless guys at school harassing me because of my looks.
Cindy had expected the result, but she still sweetly complimented, "Great job!"
Tony watched as the girls showered Ye Li with compliments, realizing that Ye Li was using him as a human punching bag.
So he wanted to learn even more, and grabbed Ye Li and said, "Teach me this fighting technique too, I can pay you, you name your price."
"what----"
Ye Li yawned and said uninterestedly, "We'll see. I'll teach you when I have time. You know me."
Tony then remembered how lazy Ye Li was; he would take forever to commission a painting.
"Okay, if you can come and teach me a couple of moves when you have some free time, that'll be fine. Consider it just a casual visit for fun."
Chapter 52 Tony in a hurry! He deals with Obadiah casually!
"Now, how about I pick a few paintings to take with me?"
Tony remembered his original purpose, glanced around the studio, and picked out the paintings he liked.
"Whatever you want, just pay up."
Ye Li didn't care. "I have to remind you, although the gallery is my workplace, there aren't many paintings there. You should go to an art exhibition to choose one."
Tony didn't deny it, "Just picking randomly. I know your real gems are hidden in the North Building."
"Just keep it to yourself, don't go around telling everyone and cause me trouble."
Ye Li took a bottle of low-alcohol beverage from the refrigerator. "Want to drink?"
"of course."
Tony snapped his fingers as he picked through his drinks, "Give me a drink."
Ye Li lowered her eyelids, placed the wine and glass on the table, and said, "Pour yourself."
"I come."
Happy came up, poured Tony a glass and handed it to him, and also poured himself a glass. "Oh, this is good."
"It's really good."
Tony took the wine, but didn't drink it yet. He was talking about a painting that Ye Li had hung on the wall.
The painting depicts a sexy woman.
"She came to your place too? The date on the document is even earlier than mine, you're really something."
Tony recognized her as the cover girl he had dated before, but they hadn't been able to sleep together because of the situation in Afghanistan.
Ye Li drank his wine. "Don't misunderstand, I'm not like you. This is just a simple portrait."
Tony bluntly stated, "Come on, that's why we share similar interests."
He put the painting back in his hand, because he knew that paintings like Ye Li's were not for sale.
"There are three lovely girls behind me."
Ye Li pulled Skye's hand away from his pinch, "Tony, you're not blind, you'd better say less."
"Okay, okay, I apologize."
Tony said, continuing to stroll around with his wine glass in hand.
He suddenly noticed something and became interested. "Let me see what I found?"
Tony picked up a small framed picture that had been casually tossed in a corner; it depicted a figure in gold and red armor.
"You like Iron Man?"
Tony dusted off his portrait. "It's not very polite to leave it here like this, but it's a very good painting."
Ye Li said casually, "It's just a casual sketch. His armor is not bad."
This was just a casual sketch he made on a whim; he never expected it to be found by the person who actually drew it.
"I'll take this one!"
Tony handed the painting directly to Happy.
Then he pulled out Ye Li's bank account, and with a wave of his hand, transferred a large sum of money to him.
Ye Li didn't even check the payment confirmation message, waved his hand, and said, "Goodbye and don't bother seeing me out."
Tony choked on his farewell words...
I haven't even said I'm leaving yet.
"It seems you want to chat with your girlfriend slowly, so I'll be going now."
"Remember what I told you."
"Martial arts."
...
After Tony left.
Ye Li did not continue to increase his intimacy level with Skye and the others as he had expected.
Instead, he told them, "You can practice here slowly. I have to go out for a bit."
He's out wandering around all day, why don't you give him the battle suit?
It seems necessary to follow him and meet Tony again under a different identity.
......
Tony returned home and wanted to give the painting to his assistant Pepper, but she was nowhere to be found.
drop--
The phone rings.
It's Pepper.
Before he could answer the phone, his face suddenly turned pale, and purple veins bulged...
Obadiah Stanislav, a veteran of Stark Industries, stepped out from behind Tony and put away the gadget in his hand.
"I really wanted to show you my Iron Man suit, Tony, but unfortunately, I won't have the chance."
He sneered and took the blue arc reactor from Tony's chest. "Damn it, you dragged Pepper into this too. I was trying to keep her alive."
"Oh, look what this is."
Before leaving, Obadiah saw the painting Tony had placed on the sofa, picked it up, and scoffed, "Iron Man? What a ridiculous thing. Can you make money saving those refugees?"
talking.
He was about to tear the painting up.
"Although I don't know what you mean by 'ridiculous,' you'd better put that painting down."
A voice came from the shadows.
Ye Li, dressed as a knight spider, walked slowly and deliberately to Obadiah.
"Black Spider!?"
Obadiah froze, recalling the news reports from a while ago—
Did Tony get involved with him?
An unexpected guy...
Regardless of what Obadiah thinks.
Ye Li simply patted him on the shoulder, then took the painting and the Ark reactor from his hands.
Obadiah dared not resist.
He knew that this Black Spider was different from other superheroes; he never hesitated to kill.
Even Norman, the chairman of the Osborn Group, was killed by him with a single stroke.
He swallowed hard. "Black Spider, perhaps we can sit down and talk."
Ye Li ignored him and looked at Tony instead.
Tony Stark.
