"Ok, Sharon, nice to meet you." Tony made an OK gesture and looked at Bucky again.
"What about this cold-blooded man who never says a word? What's your name?"
Bucky saw Tony looking at him, and seeing Tony's face that was somewhat similar to Howard's, he forced a smile.
"Bucky Barnes..."
Tony raised his eyebrows. "Your name sounds familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere before. Anyway, it's nice to meet you."
Bucky opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Just looking at Tony's face reminded him of the night Howard died at his hands.
Howard was even calling his name at that point, it was all his fault…
Seeing Bucky was about to withdraw into himself again, Steve took the initiative to speak, “Of course it sounds familiar to you, because according to seniority you have to call him Uncle Barnes.
I came to you today to introduce Uncle Barnes to be your personal bodyguard and protect you."
Tony nodded when he heard that, then he realized what was happening and turned back to look at Steve:
"No, what the hell are you talking about? A bodyguard is a bodyguard. I just saw this guy's skills. He is fully qualified to be my bodyguard.
But what the hell is an uncle? Don’t think that just because you are my dad’s friend and a generation older than me, your friend can also take advantage of me, you damn bastard! ”
Chapter 30 Congratulations Tony, you now have two uncles!
Steve knew Tony would say that, showing his big white teeth, and said in a wicked tone:
"We both have our own opinions. I call you my nephew and you call me Steve. Of course, my friend can't take advantage of you by crossing the generation line.
But Bucky really didn't take advantage of you, he was also Howard's friend and a member of our Howling Commandos, so you should call him uncle, there's nothing wrong with that~"
Tony had an ugly expression on his face when he heard this. He looked at Bucky, who looked younger than him. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed to be. It seemed that he had really seen this person in an old photo with his father.
Tony looked around, his pale face almost turning black.
Oh no, I am the most mature one, but I am the youngest one here!
There are four of us in total, two uncles and one uncle's girlfriend, and I'm a junior now?!
Steve patted Tony, who was having a hard time accepting it, and said comfortingly with an uncontrollable smile on his face:
"Don't be sad, nephew, this is actually a good thing, isn't it?
Bucky and Howard were as close as I was back then. Like me, Bucky is a good uncle who is completely worthy of your trust!
You have to know that after hearing that you were kidnapped by the Ten Rings and that there were traitors within the company, Bucky has urged me several times to come and help you through this difficult time."
Tony finally accepted the reality after hearing this, nodded to Bucky, and softened his tone:
"Although I think I should be able to handle what's coming next, thank you anyway, but I won't really call you uncle."
Bucky nodded quickly, a sincere smile on his face: "Of course, you don't have to call me uncle, just call me Bucky Barnes.
I won't treat you as a junior either, because all this is what I should do for you!"
Tony didn't hear the guilt in Bucky's words, and just thought it was because Bucky and his father Howard were really close friends.
He nodded and looked at Steve again: "Look at Barnes, he is also a friend of my father, he is so humble and friendly!
Can't you learn from other people's good behavior, be less harsh with your words, and stop using your uncle status to bully me?"
"Oh, okay, nephew. I got it, nephew." Steve agreed readily and was determined not to change.
Tony: .....(middle finger.jpg)
"Telling you this is like playing the piano to a cow. Forget it, you can say whatever you want. But how did you know there was a mole in my company? Did you secretly investigate?"
Steve said calmly:
"It's simple. Your route is a safe one arranged by the military. It's not likely to be attacked by terrorists. So someone must have leaked your route.
Besides you people at Stark Industries, only the military knows about this route.
The military would never leak the secret. If you were attacked under their protection, it would do them no good to spread the news.
So it can only be someone within your company, because if you die, only the top executives at Stark Industries will benefit from it."
Tony nodded and acknowledged what Steve said. He actually had some suspicions that there was a mole inside the company, but he had never confirmed who it was.
"You're right. Do you have anyone you suspect?"
Steve simply nodded, “Of course, I’ve seen the photos of your group of Stark Industries executives.
Among them was a wicked bald guy named Obadiah Stan. I knew he was no good the moment I saw his face. He was most likely the traitor!"
After listening to Steve's 'analysis', Tony was speechless.
"The evil bald man and his facial features, you suspect Obadiah is a traitor based on these two points, are you serious?
To tell you the truth, Obadiah was also my father's friend. After my parents died in a car accident, he supported the entire Stark Industries during the years when I was immersed in grief.
He was the one who pulled me out of the abyss and allowed me to take charge of Stark Industries again. He is the least likely to be the traitor!
Steve pursed his lips and said disapprovingly, "What's impossible? He and your father are just business partners, and this kind of business friend is the most unreliable.
Why can't he sell you out for his own benefit?
You are not his biological son. For him, if you die, won’t he be the one who benefits the most?
Besides your safe route, isn't he the only one in Stark Industries who knows it, besides your secretary Pepper Potts?
You actually understand this yourself, but you're just trying to comfort yourself and deny it, aren't you? "
Every word Steve said pierced Tony's heart. His clear blue eyes seemed to be able to see through Tony's heart, leaving Tony unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
Because Tony knew very well in his heart that what Steve said was most likely the truth.
Steve sighed when he saw that Tony was still unwilling to give up and said:
"I know that after Howard's death, that guy had a great influence on you. It's normal that you don't want to easily believe that he is the mole.
But the facts are facts and cannot be changed. With just an investigation, I can put the evidence that he is a mole in front of you.
Trust me, Uncle Rogers. I have decades of experience fighting on the battlefield, and I have never misjudged a hostile enemy!"
Tony muttered silently after hearing this: "In fact, you only spent a few years on the battlefield. You spent decades in the ice..."
Steve was furious after being exposed by Tony, and pointed his finger at him: "Damn it! You big piece of shit, shut up! Adults are talking, kids, don't interrupt casually! Anyway, just trust your uncle!!!"
Seeing Steve getting angry, Tony quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, I believe you, but promise me, I'll handle this matter myself, and you don't interfere."
Steve calmed down and shrugged nonchalantly: "If you want to solve it yourself, then solve it yourself. But from today on, Bucky will always be with you to protect you until your crisis is completely resolved. Understand?"
Tony wants to solve it himself, which is perfect. He can use this time to find a way to get back the relics Howard left behind in S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony made an OK gesture, indicating that it was okay.
Having a super macho uncle he can trust around him does make him feel more secure.
Because although his iron armor has been completed, it is impossible for him to wear it all the time, there will always be a time to take it off.
The presence of Buggy effectively prevents him from being attacked by others after taking off his armor.
Tony was suddenly stunned when he thought of this: Hey, why did I say again?
After being kidnapped by the Ten Rings once, Tony has become much more cautious.
In the original novel, if Obadiah had not lacked a qualified and trustworthy bodyguard, his sneak attack might not have been successful.
Happy is okay as a driver and director, but he is not good enough as a bodyguard.
Chapter 31 Tony's Money Power
Steve nodded when Tony agreed.
This time, the prototype in Tony's cave was blown up along with the cave itself. It is highly likely that Iron Monger will not appear. Instead, Obadiah is just an ordinary person. With Bucky by Tony's side, he can't cause any big trouble.
But to be on the safe side, Steve turned to Bucky and said:
"Bucky, watch out. If Obadiah does anything wrong, or if Tony shows any signs of being ruthless, just crush that evil bald guy to death."
"I will." Bucky nodded grimly.
Tony was embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Hey, is it really okay for you two to plot loudly in front of me like this?"
Steve glanced at him and said calmly, "I told you, adults are talking, so don't interrupt me, kid."
"Me? A child?" Tony pointed at himself and wanted to argue, but then he realized that in front of these two centenarians, he really seemed like a child.
I had to learn Steve's trick of changing the subject: "Let's not talk about Obadiah for now. Why were you able to fly just now?
And why is Barnes so young too? Did he also get the super soldier serum?"
After finishing the business, Tony asked two questions that he was curious about.
He saw clearly how Bucky jumped several meters high and how Steve flew with the armor.
Hearing this, Steve started talking nonsense: "First of all, I am the only one in the world who possesses the genuine Super Soldier Serum.
As for my flying ability, it should be the mutation effect of the super serum caused by being frozen in Antarctica for decades.
Because when I woke up, not only did my strength continue to grow, but my ability to fly also naturally developed over time."
Anyway, the genuine super serum has been lost, and no one knows what its real effect is. As Steve is the only person who has been injected, what he says is the final word.
"Super serum can mutate?" Tony was stunned at first, then he thought of something and said with relief:
"But it seems possible. A couple of years ago, when the military was replicating the super serum you had, they also created a mutant green giant. That guy's strength is even more terrifying than yours~"
Steve glanced at the Tony in his imagination. Although he knew that Hulk mutated because of gamma rays, he did not refute Tony, but continued:
"As for Bucky, he tragically fell off a cliff during a mission against Hydra. He was taken away by Hydra and had his body modified, and was injected with Hydra's pirated super serum.
Afterwards, Hydra brainwashed him into an emotionless humanoid weapon, and he was usually frozen in a freezer except when he was on a mission.
That’s why Bucky and I have maintained our youthful appearance, and I only recently brought him back to self-awareness.”
Sharon, who had always been well-behaved and obedient and never interrupted the men's conversations, looked at Steve suddenly when she heard this and opened her mouth to say something.
