Re-entering the closed gate, Downey felt that if there was a mirror in front of him, his expression must be wonderful.

After all, on the left side it says "passionate", and on the right side it says "nosy".

The man who was locked outside the rental house took a deep breath and hung up on his assistant Happy, after getting the news that the Happy man was still in Kama Taj and just woke up.

He casually stopped a taxi outside the intersection and went back to the Avengers.

The follow-up painting work of Mark 11 has not been completed yet, and there is a lot of research on clean energy that requires him to participate in the development. He doesn't have so much time to appease a 30-year-old man who is still in the middle-aged rebellious stage, and if the other party knows.

He's even a year younger than him.

"The internal connection line of the armor has been scanned. It has been checked that the right wing starter on the left side of the internal line has no wave frequency echo response. The switch that releases the armor's spiritual connection is missing a brake part, and everything else is normal."

In the workshop, the painting has not yet started, and the monotonous metallic-colored Mark 11 stands quietly in front of the cabinet. After hearing the report from the smart housekeeper, Downey removed the abnormal parts and began to repair them.

Half a minute later: "Your call, Sir."

Downey continued with the action: "Whose?"

Smart Butler: "Peter Parker."

Downey raised his eyebrows, put down the wrench in his hand and picked up the silent mobile phone on the workbench. The caller ID of Peter Parker was displayed on the screen.

He pressed to answer, and the energetic voice of Little Spider-Man immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Stark!"

Downey glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the display screen: "Good afternoon, Mr. Little." He took the phone and sat back on the small bench in front of Mark 11, and said while twisting the screws on the armor legs, " What can I do for you?"

Peter Parker: "Well, there is one very important thing, Mr. Stark, that is—"

The high school student paused at this point, as if hesitating which one to talk about first, and finally chose the less important one: "I got the first place in the school in the entrance examination!"

Downey: "Congratulations."

Obviously being able to talk to your favorite idol is an exciting thing, Little Spiderman was a little incoherent: "No, no, I didn't mean that this is the important thing, I called you to talk about other things , but this is what I want to tell you, that is—" He paused, "I got the first place in the entrance exam!" After he finished speaking, he was a little annoyed, "Did I just say that?"

Donnie said "Congratulations" again with some confusion, and then: "What about the other thing?"

"Oh, yes, another thing." Peter Parker organized his wording this time, "I found that our school is a bit abnormal recently, Mr. Stark, you know, after I was bitten by a spider, I got an extra The ability to sense and predict danger, I call him—"

Downey: "Spider sense?"

Peter Parker: "Yes!" He continued, "Actually, since I came to school yesterday, I have frequently triggered the spider sense, but I can't find any source of the trigger sense, but my ability is time-sensitive. It's not working, or it could be something wrong with itself, I mean - something could happen, or nothing could happen."

After saying this, Peter Parker said "Oh": "I'm sorry I may have said something nonsense, I mean, I think it's better to tell you about this matter."

Downey stopped what he was doing: "I will pay attention, are you in Midtown High?"

Peter Parker: "Yes sir."

Downey called up the information of Midtown High School on the virtual light screen, and then asked casually, "Are you still wearing your uniform to fight criminals?"

Peter Parker: "I'm new, Mister Stark! Because people keep taking pictures of me talking in uniform and posting them online, and saying I look like a mugger, you know, I don't mean my The uniform is ugly, I just think those screenshots are a bit, uh." The little high school student smacked his lips, "It's a bit ugly."

Downey agrees with this very much.

Peter Parker: "So I gave it a little twist!"

Downey: "What new element?"

Peter Parker: "You'll know the next time you see Spider-Man!"

Don't wait until next time.

I saw it when Downey returned to the lobby after finishing painting the Mark 11.

On the real-time live news station of the virtual TV screen he turned on casually, the little Spider-Man, still wearing a red and blue splicing and contrasting color uniform, defeated a group of criminals who tried to rob the private bank opposite the high school at the station near Midtown High School. under the lens.

Wearing a gas mask, he swings from the center of the frame into a nearby alley.

You know, Spider-Man's homemade second-generation uniform, red tights and blue sleeves, and a red headgear that looks like a guinea.

Wears a purple gas mask.

Downey endured it, but he still couldn't.

He lowered his head and pressed the center of his eyebrows.

He felt that making a new suit for Peter Parker had to be on the agenda after Mark 11 was completed.Aesthetic or not aesthetic is secondary, mainly because he is worried about the safety of this little high school student.

Of course, Downey didn't forget what Peter Parker said to him just now. Although the 15-year-old high school student didn't look so reliable in the eyes of others, Downey knew his ability very well.

"Strengthen the remote control near Midtown High School. I remember that their school intranet uses a complete set of tank firewalls."

One of Tony Stark's charities is that he donated tank firewalls to most schools for free to protect students' private information. Of course, because he didn't have so much time to do this, he left it to Stan. Yeah, so until now people thought donating the firewall was the idea of ​​that old bald man Obadiah Stein.

Tony Stark has never been able to manage himself. It’s because he doesn’t care about it. It’s because of his personality. The biggest reason is that he doesn’t want to spend time on these boring things, so there are many similar things, such as——

Why is he thinking about that middle-aged rebellious period again?

Downey shook his head to get those thoughts out of his mind, then looked down at the virtual map of Midtown High School that was being automatically remotely deployed on the screen on the coffee table.

"Sir, there is an email from Ms. Rennie."

Downey picked up the dried blueberries on the coffee table and unpacked them: "What's the matter?"

Smart Butler: "He said you had an interview with John Pillinger at Coney Island this afternoon."

Downey frowned: "I don't remember what interview I took recently?"

Smart Butler: "Here's your appointment nine weeks ago."

Downey didn't speak. He opened a separate small window next to the automatic control system of Midtown High School, and then entered John Pillinger, a name that sounded familiar to him.

It turns out that he guessed right.

A famous documentary director, when Downey first came to this world, he had watched one of his documentaries about Tony Stark in order to understand the situation of Tony Stark.

That documentary was filmed three years ago, and its name is .

The specter of the 21st century.

The phone in the pocket rang at this moment, it was from Ms. Lenny, Tony Stark's personal secretary.

"Good afternoon, Boss, you haven't responded to my message from three weeks ago. I wonder if you are as forgetful as an old man like me."

Downey couldn't help pinching the space between his eyebrows: "I saw the email."

Ms. Rennie: "So you're going for this interview? Director Pillinger is on his way, boss."

Downey caught the key words in the other party's words: "You mean you can still refuse to participate?"

Ms. Rennie: "Of course, you have done a lot of things that you promised others and then released them for various reasons. Boss, I still wonder if there is a reason why those media are trying to smear you. inside."

Downey: "..."

Ms. Rennie asked again: "So are you coming? If you don't, maybe I can make him a cup of coffee before Piringer arrives before he goes back and makes a big fuss about you." article."

Downey didn't speak.

In fact, he originally meant to help Tony Stark restore his image, but that was not after he tried to help others but was regarded as nosy by the person concerned.

plus this morning.

This is the second time his good intentions have been turned away.

To be honest, they don't owe anyone anything, everyone's patience has a limit, he is not a priest in the church, and Tony Stark's good or bad has nothing to do with him in essence, because he believes that he always If he can find a solution to the current situation, even if he can't go back to the original world, he can't be Tony Stark for the rest of his life.

So why would he waste that energy, risking being scolded again for being nosy or self-indulgent, giving Tony Stark a white job?

Don't even think about it, it's impossible.

He won't be there.

So Downey was on the phone, after half a minute of silence.

Downey: "... What time?"

Coney Island, New York.

Stark International Corporation.

"Tony Stark, the richest man in New York, will be interviewed by famous documentary director John Pillinger at Stark International in Coney Island at [-] p.m. The interview will be broadcast live to a global audience. K's first public media appearance since the company's turnaround—"

The top floor director's office.

"We haven't seen each other for three years, Mr. Stark."

Director Piringer, with grey-haired but tough body, was holding his interview outline in his hand, sitting on the black sofa opposite Downey, with a friendly smile and reaching out his hand to Downey: "I thought you wouldn't do it this time." Will be interviewing me again."

"Why not." Downey reached out to shake hands with him, and then immediately separated, "I watched your documentary, and it was very well shot, with sharp words and a strong sense of camera."

Downey leaned on the back of the sofa, put one hand on the armrest of the sofa in a casual posture, and added after speaking: "I can't find any other shortcomings except that there is not a single truth in the whole film."

There are two machines next to it, as the media said, this is a live broadcast.

Director Piringer's expression was unmoved, he was still friendly, obviously he had made all the psychological preparations before coming.

But through his kind and kind skin, Downey seemed to see an old fox with cunning and sinister eyes.

Downey specifically checked before this. Director Piringer, who was a reporter, started to make commercial films as early as a year ago because of the slump in the documentary market. He even sold his ex-wife's house to make this film. And almost got involved in a criminal dispute.

And three days later, the commercial film he made was going to be released.

He came prepared, and his purpose was very obvious.

I made that documentary three years ago and kept it on hold. Nine weeks ago, I made an appointment for the next interview with Tony Stark. Four weeks ago, I finally released the documentary that demoted Tony Stark to nothing. Worthy of a documentary called Ghosts of the 21st Century, and have been stalking Tony Stark ever since.

If Tony Stark refuses the interview due to anger, Pillinger can take the opportunity to hype and use Tony Stark's guilty refusal as a news point to make a big fuss on it.

And if Tony Stark agrees, he also has a lot of ways to force him to submit with various sharp questions. The best thing is that Tony Stark can fight him on the spot. The crowd always sympathizes with the weak, and then he can get The degree of topicality can also win the sympathy of the public, which is why he will use the global live broadcast method to broadcast this interview this time.

Taking a step back, even if Tony Stark still accepts interviews calmly like three years ago instead of being so irritable in front of the public now, there is no loss for the director.

Facing Director Pillinger in front of him, Downey showed a more friendly smile.

He is too familiar with these methods, so I am sorry.

He won't let anyone do what he wants.

In a rental home in North Brooklyn.

The room with no curtains was dimly lit. Tony Stark sat on the sofa, watching the broadcast on the old antenna TV with cloudy eyes.

After Director Pillinger kept throwing those sharp questions,

The man in the suit sitting on the sofa smiled.

"I have read your report, and I have to admit that you are a natural news genius. Your words are very provocative. When I read it for the first time, I almost thought that I was really as bad as your report said."

The man raised his hand, and behind him, Happy handed him the materials he had prepared.

"I wish you knew."

Facing the camera, he calmly placed on the table information about all the scientific patents, public welfare undertakings, and charitable donations that Tony Stark had done.

"I'm not just a landmine maker."
