Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 171 A penny beats a hero
Ivan is hard...

After his father Anton Vanke committed suicide, Ivan was determined to take revenge.

So he dug out some old blueprints left by Anton, these blueprints are of course not complete, but it doesn't matter, Ivan himself is a genius,
According to the drawings and his own associations, Ivan built a miniature Ark reactor in a small bungalow in Siberia.
Its difficulty factor is not much lower than Tony Stark knocking out steel armor in a cave...

So to some extent, Ivan is a genius comparable to Tony!

Just having results is not the end, but just the beginning!
It takes a lot of resources to build a complete steel suit. Tony had the Ten Rings to provide him with resources, but Ivan only had a bunch of empty wine bottles...

So Ivan sold all the empty wine bottles and exchanged a few catties of potatoes... Eating mashed potatoes, looking at the bare walls of the house, he was very melancholy!
To get revenge on Tony Stark, Ivan must prepare a suit, but the suit will not fall from the sky.

As the saying goes, a man with money is hard to be a man without money...

If it doesn't work, we can only fight Tony naked!
You can't say that you can't take revenge if you don't have money!
After eating mashed potatoes, Ivan made up his mind, sold the small bungalow left by Anton for a passport, and called Barney. After some operations, he finally landed on the land of America!
Barney is a person who knows how to be grateful. When he encountered danger in the Siberian wilderness, if Ivan hadn't offered a helping hand, the Death Squad might have been wiped out...

So he is very concerned about Ivan's affairs.

It's a pity that Ivan is an arrogant person, he is unwilling to accept Barney's help for nothing.

After two missions with Barney, Ivan saved some money and opened a tattoo parlor.

As the saying goes, more skills do not overwhelm one's body, and Ivan is full of hands-on skills. He is not only a super-class mechanical engineer, but also a master of fighting. By the way, he also taught himself a superb tattoo technique...

If the development continues like this, Ivan will be able to create a set of Vanke steel suits within three years!

Unfortunately, on the night when the tattoo shop opened, he was attacked by unknown armed men, and the tattoo shop was bombed...

If Barney hadn't just arrived, maybe Ivan would have experienced a completely different life.

When Jack fell from the sky in the iron suit, Ivan thought he had met Tony Stark, but unfortunately it was Iron Man Jack Murdoch...

In the next second, Jack clarified his relationship with Tony.

Ivan knew he was exposed!
Although he couldn't figure out how he was exposed, Ivan believed that Jack was definitely a bad visitor.

But Jack just wanted to recruit Ivan Vanke from the beginning to the end...

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Barney quickly smoothed things over,
"Ivan, Jack is my friend, he has no malice..."

Jack also raised his eyebrows, showing a kind smile and said:
"Ivan Vanke... the son of Anton Vanke! I know the grievances between the Vanke family and the Stark family. If I give you a chance to challenge Tony, would you accept it?"

Ivan was very surprised, he replied very vigilantly:

"Didn't you just say that you and Tony are good friends?"

Jack walked to the overturned sofa, pulled up the sofa and dragged it in front of the two, motioning for Ivan and Barney to sit down...

Then he opened his mouth and said:

"The grievances between your two families originated from the Ark Reactor. Back then, your father Anton built a large Ark Reactor with the help of Howard. He hoped to make a profit from it...

From my point of view, this is human nature.

But Howard is not wrong to think that the Ark reactor will cause war. "

Ivan said fiercely: "The Stark family used disgraceful means to drive away my father!"

Jack nodded: "I didn't want to excuse Howard, he did use some means, but that was done by Howard, it had nothing to do with Tony, and Howard died long ago!"

Ivan sneered and said, "Are you trying to excuse Tony Stark? Although he denies that he is Iron Man, do you dare to say that the armor you are wearing is not made by him after stealing my father's achievements?"

Jack waved his hand. He knew that it was impossible to resolve the dispute between the two families with words alone.
"So, I can offer you an opportunity now. I will arrange a laboratory and all the equipment you need. Two months later will be the closing ceremony of the Stark Industries Expo... At the closing ceremony, you can The media of the world engage in a duel!
You can tell the world with your strength that the Vanke family is the real winner. "

After Jack finished speaking, Ivan fell silent, and he was greatly moved by Jack's proposal.

In general, the life of the past few months has allowed Ivan to see the essence of life clearly,

In this world, a penny can't beat a hero!

When Anton Vanke defected from the Soviet Union and came to New York, he was a poor scientist. If he hadn't received strong support and teaching from Howard, he would not have been able to develop the Ark Reactor.

If the former Ivan didn't understand these things, then he understands now too,

No money, no scientific research!
So Howard has made significant contributions to the Ark Reactor.

And Ivan also had to consider reality... Anton's suicide was like a thorn in Ivan's throat. He must do something for his father to feel at ease.
But with Ivan slowly saving money for development, he has no confidence that he can defeat Tony!
After a brief glance at the steel suit Jack was wearing, Ivan found several technologies that he hadn't mastered yet, and then looked back at his laboratory hidden on the second floor.
A high-powered electric whip powered by the Ark's reactor is his only weapon.

This thing is at best a sneak attack...

When faced with a surprise attack by unknown militants, Ivan would rather use a gun than a whip as proof.

After being silent for a long time, Ivan looked up at Jack,
"Why did you give me this chance, aren't you afraid that I will kill Tony Stark in a duel?"

Jack shrugged and smiled:
"Ivan, I like your talent.

Everything I do is trying to resolve the grievances between your two families. Maybe you have a deep misunderstanding of the Stark family now. I will disclose some of the files from that year, and you can judge for yourself whether it is worth it!

And I have to remind you that Tony's talent far exceeds Howard's,

If you're cocky, I'm afraid you'll be killed by Tony! "

Ivan snorted coldly, very disdainful.

In his eyes, Tony is just a mediocre playboy relying on the property left by his parents.

Jack can see Ivan's attitude. During this period of time, he has interacted with many scientists. These people generally have their eyes above the top. Perhaps only reality can educate them to maintain humility.

"So, Ivan, are you willing to accept this proposal?"

Ivan thought for a moment, and replied: "I accept... I will tear Tony Stark to pieces with a long whip to comfort my father's heroic spirit!"
