Marvel's genius inventor? I'll make a wish-granting dragon with my own hands.

If you were given the choice to resurrect a loved one.

What price are you willing to pay?

One minute Tony was furious with Howard, baring his teeth, the next he pulled off a dramatic face-changing act that even Zhang Yimou called a veteran actor, calling him "dear old man" instead.

Everyone knows the reason for this change.

It was because I saw hope of bringing my mother back to life.

Howard wasn't angry at all; instead, he felt even more guilty.

Although he is seen as a super genius and a billionaire, he spends most of his time on Stark Industries and S.H.I.E.L.D.

They even assembled ocean-going fleets dozens of times to travel to the distant Arctic to search for the missing Captain America amidst the vast white snow.

Come and go.

It took more than a decade to complete.

Tony was forced to live like a left-behind child, despite their close relationship, like father and son, they became the most familiar strangers.

The phrase he said most often was, "Take the money and buy whatever you want. I'll definitely be back for your next birthday."

He said a lot of these things.

But it seems I've never managed to catch it.

Howard was neither a good father nor a good husband, while Tony had a good mother, but in the end, he took away even that last bit of love from her.

So when he saw Tony's expectant eyes, he remained silent for a long time, without mentioning Russell or the mysterious man who had resurrected him.

First, he was very aware of the terror of this ability to resurrect others.

There are too many people in the world with regrets.

For ordinary people, the only remaining fairness is that everyone has only one life.

If someone breaks this balance.

This will lead to unimaginable backlash.

Second.

Howard didn't want to entrust the heavy responsibility of resurrecting Maria to Tony, putting that burden on him; it was his duty as a father.

I survived!

I am your heaven!

Even though you've reached the age to be a father, in my eyes you're still a child.

Natasha, not seeing any good show, shrugged her shoulders, feeling a bit bored.

She didn't understand that strange sense of responsibility in men.

The instincts of a secret agent.

She discovered something different when she was about to retreat.

Because the militants were killed so quickly, many things were left intact, and as the tents were pulled up, the weapons containers revealed familiar markings.

Natasha recognized her clearly.

That belongs to Stark Industries.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is Stark Industries' secret supplier, and many of the best things come from Tony's hands, such as the multi-functional suit, the laser-cutting spear, the holographic camouflage mask, and so on.

"No wonder he's the king of arms!"

Natasha remarked on Tony's nickname, noting that the five Rogue Nations are, as everyone knows, the world's five largest arms suppliers.

The United States and the Soviet Union sold the most.

It's incredibly profitable.

They focus on high-tech and cutting-edge technologies.

Dong Ge's main selling point is that he's strong and filling, focusing on cost-effectiveness. As for his reputation, well, let's just say it's guaranteed by his reputation.

Stark Industries is one of the top arms manufacturers in the United States. Just like the Jackley cluster missile that Tony tested in Afghanistan, its blast radius covered a small mountain range, which is extremely terrifying.

The title of the enemy's arms king.

Absolutely top-notch quality.

Her sentiments were genuine; after all, even terrorists were using it, so the quality of the weapon was beyond question.

Tony was furious.

His face was filled with disbelief. "Damn it! I've never signed an order like this before, I've never sold these weapons to these damn bastards!"

He has always been arrogant and conceited.

But they are also very principled.

The core purpose of the weapons he creates is to protect the country, not to support terrorists and allow them to harm innocent people.

This isn't Tony being stubborn or trying to clear his name; it's his true feeling, considering the other person will save the world time and time again later.

They even gave up everything.

He chose to sacrifice himself to save the entire universe.

He was a truly remarkable man who moved everyone.

Howard was more composed, because he had already learned some information from Russell: "There's a mole within Stark Industries. Someone betrayed your whereabouts and wants you dead here."

It's practically a familiar script.

He was somewhat dazed, "Just like how they betrayed me back then, they'll stage a car accident to make me disappear completely."

"What?"

Tony couldn't believe it.

This was the first time he had learned the true cause of his father Howard's death.

According to the information the police told him, his father had been drinking and speeding. He lost control of the car while attempting a drift and crashed into a wall, which led to the deaths of both he and his wife.

Therefore, he has never been able to forgive the other person.

It turned out to be an accidental murder plotted against us!

Tony was shocked.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Natasha waved to the others, "Let's retreat quickly. You go first, I'll handle these things."

She called Coulson directly. "Coulson, we've located Tony's location. There are about a hundred militants here. I'll send you the coordinates in a bit. Bring your men over quickly."

"Okay, stay hidden. I'll immediately dispatch rapid deployment forces to support you."

Coulson almost cried.

Is he finally going to finish this damn field mission in the desert?

He's practically turned into the bureau chief's own brother from all that scorching sun.

He misses hamburgers.

He missed Russell's cooking.

He misses iced cola.

"No fire support is needed. I've completed my mission and killed all these militants. You just need to bring men to clean up the battlefield and sell these valuable weapons and missiles."

Natasha looked at the missiles worth tens or even hundreds of millions, and couldn't help but smile. "Remember to transfer the money to my private account. You know, our boss is very ruthless."

The following sentence is not the main point.

Coulson was already completely bewildered just hearing what was going on. What did he mean by "you completed the mission all by yourself"?

What do you mean by saying you killed hundreds of armed militants?

Are you even human?!

Even if you asked him to fight a hundred dogs or a hundred pigs, he probably wouldn't be able to win!

"Oh, by the way, Coulson, let me tell you a secret: I saw Captain America's most compassionate father. I'm sure you'll be surprised."

Natasha, with a mischievous smirk, hung up the phone immediately.

On the other side, Coulson.

Just as she expected.

I was completely bewildered and frustrated.

As Captain America's most loyal fan, he practically grew up reading his comics and watching his TV series, and even collected various cards, knowing everything about Captain America.

Captain America has gay friends and a lover, but I've never heard of him having a father!

Who is it?

Who is it?!

Poor Coulson looked utterly dejected, like a cat scratching its own heart.

On the other side...

Tony and Ethan are already under the guidance of Natasha and Howard.

They climbed up the high cliff.

They returned to the fighter jet.

The nightmarish days of being kidnapped have come to an end.

Tony was greeted by a very enthusiastic Russell. "Hot dogs, pizza, and hamburgers, would you like some?"

"cool!"

Tony and Ethan were practically green with envy.

Although people jokingly call America a culinary desert, when they actually arrived in the real desert, they were speechless.

"How much money do you need?"

"Free!"

Tony chewed greedily, finding it incredibly delicious, and wolfed it down. "I'm very rich, I can afford it."

"Hehe, eat as much as you want, don't worry, it's free, because I bought a little bit of your company's stock."

"How much did you buy?"

"3000 million US dollars."

Tony was immediately relieved; 3000 million was nothing at all.

But the next moment.

"I even added 100 times leverage. There's a wise man in the East named Zhou who once said that going all in is a form of wisdom!"

"I can even add an egg for you for free, would you like that?"

Tony: I want an egg!

Tony: Damn it, all that money is mine, my money!!
