The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

He's now almost giving up the urge to meet with Stark and go back to see Caitlyn.

"Ugh...it's nothing!" Caitlin coughed for a long time before she caught her breath: "I was drinking warm water while I was talking to you, so I choked..."

Chapter 81: I'm already 25 years old, so is it wrong for me to want 25 girlfriends?

"Are you alright?"

Coulson asked with concern:

"How about... I take you to the hospital first, then we go see Stark!?"

"Need not!"

Caitlin flatly refused:

"Your work is more important!"

Since Caitlin has already said so, what else can Coulson say?

With only worries for Caitlin in mind, he went to Tony Scott's place.

……

"You bastard!"

Having fooled Coulson, Caitlin punched Bai Ye hard in the chest.

She was clearly on the phone with Coulson, but Bai Ye insisted on giving her water, and she couldn't refuse.

That would have been fine, but the real problem was that Bai Ye was being mischievous by forcefully pouring water down her throat.

It would be strange if she didn't choke!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Bai Ye quickly apologized.

He admitted his mistake, but he'll do it again next time!

at the same time.

Coulson drove and soon arrived at Tony's villa.

"Mr. Stark, what brings you here?"

Upon meeting, Coulson went straight to the point.

He was also worried about Caitlin at home!

"Uh...it's nothing particularly important." Tony scratched his head, took a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet, poured two glasses, and handed one to Coulson: "Hmm..."

His mind was racing.

"Um, I heard that after I was rescued, your S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military base in Afghanistan jointly attacked the military organization that imprisoned me?"

At the time, the military prioritized Tony's safety above all else, so the mission was to rescue him, not to eliminate the terrorists. As a result, a small number of terrorists escaped.

After Tony was rescued, the U.S. military in Afghanistan launched a large-scale retaliatory operation without restraint.

During this process, for reasons unknown, S.H.I.E.L.D. conducted joint operations with the military.

“That’s right.” There was no point in hiding it, Coulson replied directly, “Is there a problem?”

“I have a blueprint that I drew myself, but I’ve lost it,” Tony said. “I asked the military before, but they said they hadn’t seen it. So I was wondering if it’s with S.H.I.E.L.D.?”

"If you took it, that's fine. But if it falls into the hands of terrorists, there might be some trouble."

Coulson's expression turned somewhat serious:

"Mr. Stark, the blueprints you mentioned, you wouldn't happen to be the blueprints for that giant toy, would you!?"

When Tony was at the rebel base, he was asked to build the Jericho missile, and given Tony's personality, he certainly wouldn't obediently work for those terrorists.

So while pretending to build the Jericho missile, he actually began his escape plan—to create a powerful exoskeleton armor that would carry him through the makeshift rebel base.

However, thanks to the intelligence provided by White Night, the US military learned the coordinates of Tony's detention location in advance and was able to rescue him.

At that time, Tony's Mark I had only completed its prototype.

When it was rescued, the military detained the prototype Mark 1 for a period of time before returning it to Tony.

When Tony asked for the design blueprints, the military said they hadn't seen them.

Tony didn't believe it at all; he was certain that someone had embezzled it.

At this point, he used this incident to appease Coulson.

Coulson was aware of the matter, but he was certain that it wasn't S.H.I.E.L.D. that took it.

Because he was the one who handled that matter, and he didn't take it... or rather, he wanted to take it but couldn't find it.

Coulson had always assumed that Tony had hidden the item away beforehand.

If not, then there's a big problem.

That was a groundbreaking exoskeleton armor design; if it were to fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it could potentially impact the entire world.

Tony: "That's right, so it's in your hands?"

“No!” Coulson slowly shook his head. “Mr. Stark, can you be sure that the blueprints haven’t fallen into the hands of the military?”

"If I were certain, would I still be asking you?" Tony scoffed. "Don't you know what kind of people you violent organizations are? Tell me, if that blueprint had fallen into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., would you have returned it to me without a second thought?"

Coulson looked somewhat embarrassed.

Indeed, if the blueprints for that exoskeleton armor had fallen into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., they most likely wouldn't have returned them to Tony.

Even if it has to be returned, it will have to be after I've studied the blueprints for a long time and made many copies.

“Mr. Tony, if the blueprints aren’t in the military’s hands but have fallen into the hands of those terrorists, then things will be troublesome! We must do everything we can to get the blueprints back from them.”

Colson said solemnly.

"You don't need to be so serious," Tony said nonchalantly. "Even if they get the blueprints, can understand them, and have the industrial capacity to produce the parts, and even if they end up assembling them haphazardly, they'll still be missing the last thing, which is also the most important thing..."

He tapped his chest:

"energy!"

"Besides me, the existing battery technology on Earth can only power that big guy for a few seconds at most, which is not very useful at all."

"If those guys spend hundreds of millions of dollars and are lucky enough to build one, only to find it completely unusable, the expressions on their faces will be priceless!"

Tony grinned mischievously.

The Arc Reactor is a cold nuclear fusion technology, a revolutionary product. Tony believes that, apart from himself, no one can make a breakthrough in this technology in the short term.

Coulson was unable to persuade Tony and could only leave dejectedly.

Before leaving, Coulson glanced at the Arc Reactor on Tony's chest.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence, Tony should already be suffering from palladium poisoning, and if nothing unexpected happens, he may be facing the threat of death.

However, thanks to White Night's [Norton's Skilled HP Potion], Tony's palladium poisoning symptoms were greatly alleviated.

it is a pity!

S.H.I.E.L.D. originally intended to return the memento left to Tony by his father, Howard Stark, when Tony faced the threat of death, so that Tony could obtain a solution to palladium poisoning. This would not only give Tony a profound experience, helping him to overcome his arrogance and disdain for others, but also win Tony's favor, bringing this top genius with an IQ among the highest on Earth into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fold.

Bai Ye ruined their plans.

This put the relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony in a very awkward position.

As for the blueprints for the exoskeleton armor that Tony mentioned...

All Coulson could say was that after returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, he had plenty of things to do.

This is definitely not a small matter.

Even if the aggrieved party, Tony, doesn't care.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot ignore it.

The consequences of that blueprint being leaked could be far greater than imagined.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is there to protect the ordinary world from supernatural forces.

Since the known risks have been anticipated, we should naturally try to find ways to resolve them.

So, the Afghan rebels may be about to face another strong crackdown.

White Night arrived after Coulson left.

"Well, Coulson didn't spot any flaws, did he?"

Without any hesitation, Bai Ye picked up Tony's drink and poured himself a glass.

He was quite dehydrated just now, so please continue to replenish his fluids.

"Of course! Don't you know who I am?" Tony said. "With my intelligence, taking down a mere Coulson would be a piece of cake!"

"But you're going a bit too far with your tricks, aren't you? Be careful you don't end up in trouble!"

"How dare you say that to me?" Bai Ye glanced at Tony with disdain and said, "Do you think you've slept with just as many women as I have?"

“Of course, I’ve probably slept with more women than you!” Tony said. “But I only have sex with them, not emotionally! After I’m done with one, I just pull up my pants and leave, never going back! But look at you, you have sex with them and emotionally involved, sleeping with them again and again, playing with their bodies and their feelings. Don’t you know how many women you have long-term relationships with?”

Bai Ye thought about it and realized that, in terms of how much of a scumbag he was, he was indeed a bigger scumbag than Tony. Tony was a scumbag in a clear and unequivocal way, while he...

"Sigh, I have no choice!" Bai Ye sighed helplessly, "My heart is just broken into many pieces, and different pieces have fallen in love with different people!"

"Tony, is it wrong for me to want 25 girlfriends when I'm already 25?"

Chapter 82 See? Aren't I awesome?

"No problem!"

Tony gave White Night a thumbs up:

"Hero, you are not wrong, I am wrong, I cannot keep up with your profound level."

This level of scumbag behavior even shattered Tony's worldview, who always prided himself on being a playboy.

Does a 25-year-old need 25 girlfriends?

Don't you go to heaven?

According to you, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to have 41 more girlfriends besides Chili Pepper, right?
