A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 160 I destroyed all my dozens of suits of armor just to set off fireworks?

However, Tony Stark wasn't entirely sure which situation it was.

He was too lazy to waste his brain cells thinking about such unimportant questions.

"Jarvis, have I ever seen someone named 'Kirion'?"

After pondering for a moment without finding a solution, Playboy directly consulted his thoughtful AI.

"Sir, I have checked your past schedules, various visit records, media activity records, and other relevant records, but I haven't found anything."

"So there's a high probability that you came into contact with this person when I wasn't there."

"That will require you to remember this person yourself, which I believe will not be difficult for you."

Jarvis's voice immediately rang in my ears.

There is no trace of "Kirlian" in any of their official social activity records.

That means this person is not on Playboy's official social media list.

The specifics of what happened are for the business owner to figure out themselves.

"No, Jarvis, you know I never waste my brain cells on this kind of thing."

Tony corrected Jarvis in a serious tone.

Although Tony's intelligence is among the best in the entire United States, he has never been good at remembering names, especially those of unimportant people.

Even the women who had intimate relationships with him completely forgot his name after he left their beds.

A playboy's intelligence isn't used for things like this.

"Look up the name Kylian and see if there's anyone worth noting."

Tony wasted no time and immediately gave Jarvis the order.

"Understood, sir."

Jarvis, of course, carried out Tony's orders with utmost loyalty.

And soon, the corresponding investigation results were obtained.

Swish!

Several relevant profiles of the individuals were then presented to Tony.

They are all top-notch individuals from various industries; in other words, they are not ordinary people, but rather people of status and position.

In Jarvis's logic, even if someone is a "small fry" whose name Tony can't remember, since they had the opportunity to meet Tony, they must not be a really small fry.

It's just that in front of their own boss, they seem like nobody.

"Are there really that many?"

After making a remark, Tony began casually flipping through the documents floating in front of him, filtering and reviewing them.

"Wait a moment!"

Then Tony saw the face of a handsome man with slicked-back blond hair who looked much better than Tony.

Tony was completely stunned.

That face!

It looks even more familiar!

Tony was certain that he had seen this person and that face before.

But where exactly he had seen him before, the playboy couldn't quite place for the time being.

Without him.

The image of Killian back then is indeed quite different from the image he has now.

In addition, the other party was indeed an unknown nobody at the time, someone Tony could easily toy with.

Tony probably forgot all about the other person as soon as he got out of the elevator.

In addition, so many years have passed, it's really difficult for Tony to recall anything.

"Oldrezi Kylian, founder of Pioneer Technologies."

"Wow, this guy's story is truly inspiring."

Jarvis then removed the information on the other "candidates" and projected the detailed information on Killian back into the Playboy's view.

Tony was also shown some photos of Killian from that time when he had long hair and wore glasses.

Tony finally remembered who the other person was.

Isn't that the guy I met at an academic conference in Bern almost ten years ago?

The other party, overestimating his abilities, squeezed into the elevator, wanting to discuss cooperation with Tony, but was ultimately dismissed by Tony with a casual remark.

It's hilarious.

Who is Tony? Is he someone that just anyone can work with?

Especially since Tony was busy picking up girls at the time, he was even less inclined to pay attention to those clowns.

Tony remembered that he had tricked the other person into waiting for him on the rooftop.

What's certain is that the other person really did go to the rooftop to wait for me. As for how long they waited, and what they did after they found out I stood them up, that remains to be seen.

Sorry, Tony has never considered such a thing.

Playboy never imagined that the once-awful guy would undergo such a dramatic transformation.

He transformed into someone even more handsome and radiant than his father, Tony!

He is also an incredibly successful person.

Tony specifically looked into Pioneer Technology; they have numerous orders from the military and maintain an extremely close cooperative relationship with them.

From an ordinary person's perspective, Kylian is undoubtedly a big shot in high society.

But why would this guy be going up against me in the future?

It can't be because I tricked him back then, can it?

Just because of such a trivial matter, it's not enough for her to hold a grudge against me for so many years, or even want to kill me, right?

Surely not?

No way!

Tony Stark thought it was really not that bad.

He guessed that the reason he and the other party would become enemies in the future must be because something else had happened.

But what exactly happened was not revealed in the diary, so the playboy naturally couldn't know either, and he stopped speculating.

Instead, he continued to focus on his diary.

Soon, one word immediately caught the playboy's attention: Extremist Warrior.

Who is this person?

Judging from the tone of the diary, this kind of "desperate warrior" is capable of directly confronting his own Iron Man armor!

Without a doubt, this is a super soldier!

So, will the pioneering technology of the Kyrian Empire create a batch of super soldiers in the future?

Even Gillian himself is a super soldier!

Even judging from the descriptions in the diary, Killian's combat power is still very, very amazing, much stronger than Captain America.

After all, Captain America simply couldn't destroy Tony Stark's armor; he would only be beaten down by Tony!

So Killian actually knows how to create super soldiers even more powerful than Captain America?

did not expect!

Tony really didn't expect that.

That guy I used to look down on has actually achieved so much!

But what does all this have to do with Mandarin?

Tony knew Mandarin.

After Tony was kidnapped by the Ten Commandments, he investigated the terrorist organization and learned that their leader was Mandarin.

But why does the diary say that if he and Killian lose that battle, America will be shrouded in the fear of Mandarin?

Could it be that the Extremis warriors of Kylian are controlled by the Mandarin?

Is Kirian actually a member of the Mandarin?

This is why a down-on-his-luck guy like Kylian could suddenly transform into a powerful business tycoon.

Behind the scenes, Mandarin has always been supporting us?

Tony's mind immediately started racing, and he instantly came up with several related possibilities.

Each one is plausible and perfectly matches the various pieces of information revealed so far from the diary.

Tony couldn't be sure what exactly happened, and could only wait for further spoilers in the diary.

However, one thing is beyond doubt:

There must be an inseparable connection between Kylian and Mandarin.

I bet the Starks don't even remember the name Killian anymore.

"That's true. How could the Starks possibly remember someone as insignificant as Killian?"

He never imagined that the nobody he tricked into waiting for him on the rooftop all night would become his third nemesis!

[He is still his most formidable nemesis, far surpassing Iron Monger and Whiplash.]

[He almost killed Stark, and he almost killed the president!]

[If Pepper Potts hadn't intervened and killed Killian in time, all of Stark's many suits of armor would have been useless; they would have been finished anyway.]

Tony Stark: "..."

Well, Zhou Cheng's sarcasm was right; he really didn't remember Kylian at all.

Even hearing the name Killian and seeing his completely transformed appearance, he still couldn't recall it.

But it's really not Tony's fault.

How could someone of his status and position possibly remember just anyone?

But, did that guy Killian actually wait for me on the rooftop all night?

It has to be said that this was something Tony hadn't expected.

That idiot!

If you wait for ten or twenty minutes and he still doesn't come up, don't you understand that you have no intention of seeing him at all?

Why wait all night?

No, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't think they would actually go up to see him, right?

I was just saying it casually to brush it off!

But well, since it's already happened, there's no point in Tony complaining anymore.

There's no way to change the fact that the other person was stood up by you all night.

So what Playboys need to do is not to get caught up in these useless things, but to focus on the future!

Focusing on the potential harm that Kyrian may cause in the future.

Judging from the tone of the diary, it's clear that Killian is highly regarded; he's far more formidable than Iron Monger and Whiplash.

That makes sense; destroying several sets of armor with bare hands is something that the likes of Iron Lord Whip Rope cannot do.

Wait a moment.

Where's the whip?

Thinking of this, Tony suddenly paused for a moment.

The diary reveals that Whiplash has been around for a very long time, and Tony has also had Jarvis conduct a special investigation into this person.

However, as of now, it's still a blank page!

Jarvis found nothing, and the whip didn't jump out on its own.

Could it be that guy is secretly plotting something big?

That's incredibly good at holding it in!

Could it be that I should go to Morocco sometime and deliberately lure that guy out?

Otherwise, this will always be a major threat to us!

But, is that guy Killian also planning to kill the president?

This is definitely terrorist activity.

It seems my guess was correct; Gillian does indeed have an inseparable relationship with the Ten Commandments.

There's not much to say about that.

There is one thing.

The diary originally revealed that if he hadn't built an Iron Legion, he would have died at the hands of the Gillian.

Playboy also subconsciously believed that he had defeated the Gillian by relying on the Iron Legion.

But now he realizes that it's not like that at all!

Even the Playboy's Iron Legion was no match for the Killian!

Has the future of the Kyrian really become this powerful?

How could such a powerful Gillian be killed by Pepper?

How could Pepper be at such a dangerous battlefield?

Okay, even if Pepper was there for some reason, how did she manage to defeat Killian, who could destroy Iron Man armor with his bare hands?

Wait!

Tony suddenly remembered something.

As mentioned in the diary before, Pepper is also a superhero!

However, the diary hardly mentions anything about Pepper the superhero, and Tony has gradually forgotten about it.

But looking at it now, it seems that Pepper is actually quite capable.

I wonder what kind of superhero Pepper will be in the future?

Tony couldn't help but start fantasizing in his mind.

[It wasn't just Killian; there were two other people who were crucial to Stark at that academic conference in Switzerland.]

[I doubt Stark remembers any of them either?]

[One of them later sacrificed himself to save Stark's life when Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Commandments.]

[The other achievement was the successful removal of shrapnel from Stark's chest, allowing him to truly return to normal.]

However, Stark's decision to remove the shrapnel was a choice he made after overcoming his anxiety disorder.

[At that time, Stark had overcome his psychological trauma and broken free from his dependence on his armor, so he deliberately destroyed all of his dozens of suits of armor like fireworks, giving Pepper a truly romantic performance.]

Removing the shrapnel can be seen as saying goodbye to the "embedded" arc reactor and to my past self.

Whether Stark would still do that now is unknown.

Ethan!

The name immediately flashed through Tony's mind.

At the same time, the bespectacled, somewhat scholarly-looking guy came to mind.

Back then, in that cave, the playboy and his partner spent an unforgettable time together.

Through the conversation, Tony learned that he had met him before, at the academic conference mentioned in the diary.

Tony never expected that Ethan and Killian would appear at the same academic conference.

Moreover, both of them left a significant mark on their own lives, or rather, on the lives of their other selves.

One saved his life, the other almost killed him!

That seemingly insignificant academic exchange meeting was actually quite extraordinary!

Wait a minute, besides these two, there's one more.

The spoilers in the diary make it clear that the other person is a highly skilled doctor, perhaps even a top-tier one.

So who exactly is it?

Tony started to think carefully, but still couldn't remember anything.
