Yesterday was Tony's birthday party.

But he was depressed and found that... for some reason, a lot of celebrities suddenly came to his low-key party. Out of basic courtesy, he had to drag his tired body to greet them.

At the party, Tony was in a bad mood. After dancing with Pepper, he went to the side to drink cocktails. Unexpectedly, a female reporter named Christine found him and handed him a photo.

Originally, Tony was not very interested in this former friend of weapons. Unexpectedly, the female reporter told him that the photo showed Comilla.

However, the photo showed a large area of ​​ruins after the bombing, with corpses everywhere, and, in addition, the weapons used in the photo were almost all products of Stark Industries.

And Tony was very familiar with the word "Comilla", because Comilla was Ethan's home. At that time, after being rescued, Ethan did not choose to accept Tony's luxury house and sports car, but chose to return to his hometown Comilla for reconstruction.

A few days ago, Tony was still in contact with Ethan, but in these few days, he found that he could no longer contact Ethan...

At this time, even a fool would know that Ethan must have met with an accident.

After that, Tony went to Obadiah to question him, and he got only one answer, that is, Obadiah personally issued a ban on him, under the euphemism of "protection".

Now, Tony had to suspect that the initiator of all this was the uncle who watched him grow up.

(The protagonist butterfly effect, the plot has changed, and it is not written according to the original plot)

Therefore, Tony, who was angry but still intelligent, asked Pepper to go to Obadiah's office to check the information, but he didn't expect to be caught by Obadiah.

So, after Pepper left, Obadiah went straight to Tony's villa.

Of course, Tony didn't know what happened at this time, and was still perfecting the "Mark III" in the basement.

"Jarvis, call up the latest design drawings."

Tony rubbed his still aching back and said to the air.

"Okay, sir."

Jarvis' voice sounded, and then a holographic projection appeared in front of Tony, showing the detailed design drawings of the gold, red and silver battle suit.

"To solve the problem of high-altitude icing... maybe a special coating can be applied to the outer layer, or a de-icing system can be installed."

"..."

"Jarvis? I'm asking you a question."

"Sir, Obadiah Stan is visiting."

Jarvis' voice rang out in the room.

"Why is he here at this time?"

Hearing this sudden news, Tony frowned.

He just gave me a cold look yesterday... He definitely didn't come to ask me about my well-being. Could it be... Pepper was discovered?

The more he thought about it, the weirder it felt, but Tony didn't want to tear his face with Obadiah yet, so he changed into a suit and walked into the front hall with a smile on his face.

"Let him in."

Tony said, sitting up on the sofa.

After a while, Obadiah walked in.

His bald head shone in the sun, and the kind smile that always hung on his face was gone, replaced by a cold expression that Tony had never seen before.

"Hey, Stan."

Tony greeted casually and waved the wine glass in his hand

"Want something to drink? Good stuff just shipped from Scotland."

Obadiah did not answer, but walked slowly closer. His eyes made Tony feel a little uneasy, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stalemate at this time.

At this time, Tony received a call from Pepper.

Without hesitation, Tony picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

At the same time, Obadiah quickly pressed a button.

Then Tony's phone was vibrated with a harsh sound wave of unknown frequency, which paralyzed Tony's whole body, as if countless needles were piercing his nerves at the same time, and his face was densely covered with dark green veins.

His body instantly lost control and collapsed on the sofa.

"You know, Tony?"

Helping Tony's stiff body to the back of the sofa, Obadiah finally spoke, his voice low, as if a demon was whispering in his ear.

"Breathe~Relax..."

"You know, Tony...I was by your father's side when he founded this company."

"I know...you have always been an important pillar of the company."

Tony said incoherently because of paralysis.

"Pillar?"

Obadiah sneered, and this laugh contained too many emotions that Tony could not understand-resentment, jealousy, anger.

"Pillar? No, Tony. I have always been a shadow, the manipulator behind the scenes"But why... why do you do this?" Tony squeezed out this sentence with difficulty, and every word seemed to exhaust his whole body. Obadiah looked down at the paralyzed Tony, his eyes flashing with ambition and resentment, his expression twisted, as if years of disguise finally peeled off at this moment. "Why? Because you wasted the potential of Stark Industries, Tony. You have such powerful technology, but you think about peace? What the world needs is power and control!" Tony tried to stay awake, his brain running fast. He finally realized that the man in front of him had always been a disguise. Including his own attack in Afghanistan, it was probably the work of this good uncle. "You are wrong... Weapons will only bring more death and destruction... We have the responsibility to change all this..." "That's your problem, Tony." Obadiah looked down, his tone full of contempt for Tony's naivety. "You are too idealistic. In this world, only the strong can survive. And I, I will make Stark Industries the most powerful existence! Your peace theory will only make us lose the market and influence. "

Speaking, Obadiah reached out and touched the Ark reactor on Tony's chest, with a greedy light in his eyes.

"Ah, your 'heart'... What a great invention, Tony, when I sent people to kill you, I was still worried about losing a golden goose that lays eggs... Unexpectedly, you left me a legacy. "

"Okay, the time for talking is over, Tony. Now it's time to act. You are just a threat, an obstacle that needs to be removed. "

Obadiah took out a mechanical device and slowly took out the reactor from Tony's chest, admiring the energy source emitting blue light in his hand.

The energy link was disconnected, and Tony instantly felt that his life was passing quickly, and breathing became more and more difficult. His vision began to blur and his consciousness gradually dissipated.

"Don't worry, I will make good use of it. "

Obadiah turned and walked towards the door, his footsteps sounded like the death knell in Tony's ears.

"Goodbye, Tony. I will tell everyone that the great Tony Stark died in an accident... What a sad story, isn't it?"

The door slammed shut, leaving Tony lying alone in the luxurious living room.

Ironically, he was trapped in his wealth and achievements, but unable to save himself. Once, he thought that money and technology could solve all problems, but at this moment, all of these became meaningless.

Tony's breathing became more and more rapid, Obadiah tore his face... Then Pepper must still be in his hands, with his ruthless means, Pepper must also be...

"No... It can't end like this..."

Tony shouted in his heart, and then tried his best to get up and move towards the assembly table, but he found that with his current strength, it seemed that there was still some distance to go.

Three meters... like a natural chasm.

There, there was Pepper's birthday gift for him, a reframed first-generation miniature Ark reactor.

But... as his eyelids drooped, Tony, who was lying on the ground, found that he couldn't seem to reach the stage... his whole body's thinking became slow...

Am I going to die?

But... I'm not willing to accept it...

"Squeak--"

A cute, faint mechanical sound suddenly came from beside Tony... It turned out to be Benben, the mechanical arm that often made him angry and complained, and at this moment, it just happened to be holding his reactor in its claws.

"Very good... I have decided to take back my decision to give you to the Imperial University for free."

"Fortunately... this glass is not made in the East..."

"Bang! "

Speaking of this, Tony poured all his strength into his hands, grabbed the glass box and threw it to the ground.

At the same time, on the other side of New York.

Jonathan also met the famous Hulk "licker" - General Ross, under Pierce's avoidance.
