Sentinel

Chapter 138 A Gift

Loud and dynamic music rushed towards his face. Sean, who had put on brand new clothes, frowned. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and high-end perfume. The atmosphere is like a nightclub.

Tony in steel armor, standing in the center of the lights, surrounded by a group of admirers and beautiful and lively girls, he staggered, with a bottle of Budweiser in his hand, his tongue curled up, slurred Qing showed off Stark's unique dry humor.

"Oh, let's see who this is? Sean, our genius~" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man walking through the door. Tony, who was holding a microphone, immediately cast the light on that place, as if welcoming a hero. Like a field, he shouted in an exaggerated tone.

Passing through the encirclement of passionate girls, Sean came to Tony, who seemed to be returning to his former dissolute life, and lowered his voice, "Is this how you plan to spend your last birthday?"

"Of course!"

The drunk Iron Man twisted his body along with the music, as if he was in an extremely excited mood. Rhodes and Pepper in the audience looked helpless. At this moment, Tony was like a wayward child, and no one could stop him from continuing Go on messing around.

Sean shook his head, the toxin released from the chest reactor gradually eroded Tony's body, and it won't be long before Iron Man will once again occupy the headlines of the United States - but it will be in the form of an obituary.

In the original timeline, Nick Fury, who used to be quite familiar with Tony's father, found this playboy who was about to enter the end of his life. Through prompts and guidance, Iron Man found inspiration from his father's video, and finally created The more stable and powerful new element saved his decayed body corroded by toxins.

"You seem to be in a particularly strong mood today. Are you taking some illegal drugs, or are you going to stage the last madness of your life?" Sean picked up a glass of martini from the tray, and the hot and spicy liquid poured into his throat, making people feel refreshed.

"In the past few days, I have been dreaming the same dream. In that dream... I got rid of the trouble of palladium poison. I am a superhero that everyone admires. I fought side by side with many partners and saved the country countless times. , defeated the villains who destroyed the world."

Tony was silent for a while, he held Sean's shoulders, drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp, his eyes were a little confused, and said softly: "Later, I saw those partners, they fell in front of me one by one... …I can't save them, I can't save anyone! But the only good thing is that I don't have you in my dreams, Sean Sipers is a person who doesn't exist."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and picked up another glass of strong wine. This playboy lost his usual high spirits, proud and confident, his eyes seemed to be lights that were about to go out, with only the last gleam of light remaining.

"It's an interesting dream." Sean patted the steel armor, and glanced at the secretary sitting in the corner. She was sitting alone on the sofa, out of tune with the noisy and lively atmosphere, "Did you tell Pepper?"

"My pain will not be reduced by half because of others' sharing. Why should Pepper suffer with me? I believe that as the new president of Stark Industries, she will be much better than me." Tony looked at the sitting The secretary in the distance smiled freely.

Sean was silent and didn't speak. Tony, wearing steel armor, rushed into the carnival dance floor, swaying and writhing with those hot girls to his heart's content. The rhythmic music became more manic, and Stark, who was romantic by nature, began to talk to the girls again. His usual bad jokes.

"The question I get most often is, 'How do you go to the toilet while wearing steel armor'?" Tony paused for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face, and then let out a comfortable voice, "Just like this! Safe and controllable filtration system, and even drink it!"

"Why don't you go up and stop him? I just saw Colonel Rhodes go to Tony's basement." Sean took the wine glass from Miss Secretary's hand. It seemed that Tony had been tormenting poor Pepper a lot recently.

"Tony was getting stranger and stranger, it felt like I never really knew him... maybe I didn't know him very well. He seemed to be a different person after he came back from the front, good and bad, mature at times Steady, but sometimes even more ridiculous, I don't understand what's wrong with him!"

Pepper leaned on the sofa, her tall figure was in a perfect curve, her bright eyes seemed to be misty and hazy.Sean looked at Tony, who was indulgent and reveling on the stage, and said softly: "Maybe he also has unspeakable troubles. Men are always more difficult than women to open their mouths and open their hearts, especially a proud man like Tony."

The two turned their gazes to the center of the dance floor. The protagonist of tonight's birthday party was throwing a wine bottle, and then smashed it into pieces with the palm of his hand. The girls around screamed, which made Tony even more excited. More wine bottles, glass shards mixed with wine, beautiful flowers blooming in mid-air.

"He treats everything as a game, holds an expo, promotes new energy...Give me Stark Industries, maybe Tony really trusts me, but I'm afraid of letting him down, all of this is too heavy, I'm afraid I I can't bear it." Pepper expressed her inner worries, the huge pressure in recent days has made her nerves so tight that it is difficult to relax.

"It was the same when I first established Umbrella. The pressure from outside public opinion and constant self-doubt all felt like a boulder weighing on my heart, making it hard to let go." Sean stared at Miss Secretary, the invisible spirit The power was like a breeze, blowing through Pepper's restless heart.

Those anxieties and worries disappeared for a while, and the uneasiness surging in her heart gradually subsided, and the long-lost peace and tranquility enveloped her.

"Don't worry about those illusory things, Tony is just confused, and soon he will find his life goal and status." Sean said softly, his voice was like a gentle spring breeze, and Pepper blinked with hazy eyes. The tense nerves, a little bit to relax.

He helped the secretary, who was gradually falling asleep, to the guest room. There was a burst of noisy and chaotic sounds from the outside world. The individual was still fighting, the two steel armors collided with each other, and the shock wave from the palm cannon shattered the glass curtain wall decorated in the room!
The turbulent air waves raised dust and smoke, Tony's friend, Colonel Rhodes, wearing the unpainted war machine, passed through the hole in the roof, and the bright fireworks of the thrusters streaked across the night sky.

Tony leaned against the wall, like a tired traveler who had traveled too far. He knew that his friend could not understand his nonsense behavior, but who could understand the pain of slowly dying.

"Today is a memorable day. Let me give you a birthday present." Sean looked down at Tony, who had gloomy eyes. He didn't want Iron Man to die. After all, Umbrella and Stark Industries still cooperate.

"Leaving this world with regrets is not your only destiny. Tony, you can change it." The young man's voice echoed in the quiet space.
