Chapter 703

It turns out.

If your strength is not enough, don't be too arrogant.

Days before that public hearing ended, Tony Stark faced a terrorist attack on the Monaco circuit.

A Russian named Ivan Vanke, dressed in a crude battle suit, attacked Tony Stark on the racing track, and even nearly killed Tony Stark and Pepper Potts...

This terrorist attack also completely made Tony Stark realize the fact that he must improve the security level of himself and Pepper Potts.

Even without Ivan Vanke's attack, Stark Industries, which stores the energy reactor arc technology, still faces the coveting of others, and he must arrange these properly.

Tony Stark finally remembered the employee he fired last month, and called Naraku Uehara: "Hello, Uehara, I may need your help...Of course this job should make you like it..."

"Let me play games at Stark Industries?"

"Even if you play games on my private jet."

Tony Stark took a deep breath, and continued in a deep voice: "Before that, let's find a place to talk first! This matter may be a little troublesome..."

"I don't like trouble..."

"This month may be the last time I transfer money to you."

"Are you going to break the contract?"

"No."

Tony Stark stood on the platform of his beach house in California, and peeked back at Pepper and her assistant Natalie, who were busy working in the room.

Natalie is Pepper's most recent legal department counsel.

Tony Stark confirmed that the women inside couldn't hear him, so he slowly lowered his phone and whispered: "I'm going to die."

When talking about this, Tony Stark quickly continued: "Once I die, the agreement between us will be automatically terminated.

The promise I made with you back then, I just wanted to wait until the news of my death came out, so that you would find out that the promise was actually just a...a prank..."

"Then I will write down this account first."

Naraku Uehara didn't seem to care about Tony Stark's words at all, and said softly: "Although I don't know if what you said is true or not...Forget it, give me an address!"

"I'll email it to you!"

Tony Stark finally breathed a sigh of relief, and added: "This matter does not need anyone else, no matter who it is... I will wait for you at home."

Tony Stark kept this from everyone.

Originally, Tony Stark planned to hide this secret until his death. Neither his old friend Rhodes nor his close assistant Pepper knew the secret.

He even had Jarvis prepare a will.

Keeping a secret in your heart can be very depressing.

After Tony Stark confessed the secret of his imminent death to Naraku Uehara, a trustworthy stranger, he suddenly felt much more comfortable.

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Naraku Uehara got into his dilapidated pickup truck.

Nick Fury gets into his bulletproof armed car.

Both of them will rush to California today. It can be seen that the treatment of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ordinary agents is quite distinct... Nick Fury originally wanted to take Hara Naraku for a certain distance, but Uehara Naraku seemed to prefer his own pickup truck.

Nick Fury slowly rolled down his car window, and told Naraku Uehara through the window: "Uehara, I will find a chance to reveal that you are an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. , but you and Tony must get along well before that."

"rest assured."

Naraku Uehara nodded seriously, and said softly: "When I was performing missions in the past, many people finally chose to accept the truth after knowing my identity..."

"That's good."

Only then did Nick Fury nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Remember, except that you can't tell Tony that you are an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., you can do whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want."

What Nick Fury needs is for Uehara Naraku to be recognized by Tony Stark and be able to become a partner in the future Avengers plan, instead of making Tony Stark think Uehara Naraku is still an ordinary agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, in addition to that personality with a bit of personality, it is also very important for Uehara Naraku to show his strength at the right time.

This is Nick Fury's strategy.

After saying this, Nick Fury thought for a while and added: "Uehara, also, the most important thing in getting along with people is sincerity, if you grasp this point..."

"Director, you should know my character."

Naraku Uehara couldn't help but frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Nick Fury's suspicion of his character: "Didn't you say that I, an agent who is not very good at lying when performing missions, is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is it an outlier?"

"Hahahaha...this is different."

Nick Fury shook his head and laughed a few times before continuing: "It is because you are not good at lying that I will let you perform this task."

Yes.

Uehara Naraku is indeed not very good at lying.

Therefore, in most cases, Nick Fury can only regard Uehara Naraku as a combat agent, and even has to send someone to cooperate with him to sneak undercover. This is why Nick Fury is more willing to believe that Uehara Naraku can become a member of the future Avengers team.

two days later.

An old pickup truck drove into Tony Stark's seaside villa. This scene made the corners of Tony Stark's eyes twitch. Doesn't this guy know that time is life?

When seeing Uehara Naraku, Tony Stark asked directly: "Can a little bit of time be the concept of life..."

"Anyway, you won't die for a while."

Uehara Naraku looked at Tony Stark, whose eyes were bloodshot, and then glanced at the bruised and purple blood vessels on his neck, which was a sign of palladium poisoning.

Now Tony Stark's palladium poisoning is getting worse.

"Forget it, let's get down to business!"

Tony rubbed his eyebrows, ignored Uehara Naraku's angry tone, as if explaining his funeral: "Uehara, I hope you can serve as a security consultant for Stark Industries and help me protect Pepper's safety ..."

Tony reached out and took a glass of vegetable juice and handed it to Naraku Uehara. He took a glass and swallowed a few mouthfuls before continuing: "Sorry, I only asked you here at this time. This position may be quite dangerous, but I can't find a more suitable position." of people..."

"What's the reason?"

Uehara Naraku refused to pick up the glass of vegetable juice, and continued slowly: "There are many security companies in the world..."

"only you."

Tony Stark spread out his palm and explained softly: "Only you, the strongest one I have ever seen..."

After finishing speaking, Tony Stark tapped the energy reactor on his chest again, and continued: "Of course except me..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku's expression suddenly became strange, this person felt that he was going to die, why was he still so proud?

In fact.

It wasn't just Naraku Uehara's fighting ability that Tony Stark really valued.

What he values ​​more is Uehara Naraku's own shining points of humanity. In addition to these, Uehara Naraku also has experience as an FBI agent.

"Don't look at me like that..."

Tony Stark shrugged indifferently, took Naraku Uehara into his living room, and said casually, "Jarvis, bring a glass of juice to our guest."

"Yes, Sir."

A mechanical hand reached out holding a glass of juice.

Uehara Naraku took the juice, looked at the luxurious living room curiously, and then continued: "By the way...why do you think I won't refuse?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars a month."

Tony Stark directly offered a super high price, and he added: "If it is not enough, you can add more."

Tony Stark stared at Naraku Uehara, and added calmly: "Of course, it's not just about money..."

in a sense...

The two of them should be the same kind, they both have a sense of justice to protect the weak, they should be the same kind who cherish each other.

After finishing speaking, Tony Stark saw that Uehara Naraku had no intention of rejecting him, and immediately made it a fact: "Now you can officially go to work, I still have a lot to tell you, you can treat it as... Will?"

After Tony Stark revealed his secret, the whole person let go a lot, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe you can publish a book in the future, "Tony Stark's Last Days Story" or "Iron Man "The Last Word" or something like that..."

"I'm not good at writing."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, drank the juice in his hand, and said softly: "And I don't like to reveal other people's secrets."

"…it is good."

A smile appeared on Tony Stark's face.

Although Uehara Naraku looks a little lazy, this person's character and personality are really good.

Tony Stark felt that they got along very well, and it didn't seem like a bad thing to be able to make a good friend before they died?

Everything is settled.

Tony Stark even showed off his equipment for testing palladium poisoning with great interest, like a big boy who likes to share toys.

"Did you see it? The palladium poisoning concentration is 76%..."

"Wait until it gets to 100%, or 95%, 98%..."

"Maybe I will be completely finished? Anyway, it's an ugly death!"

pity.

Tony Stark wouldn't think of that.

When Uehara Naraku left his villa, the first thing he did was to call Nick Fury and directly leaked Tony Stark's secret.

"Currently Tony Stark's palladium poisoning concentration is 76%..."

"Good job, this is a specific value that the Romanov agents have not found out!"

"Is there really a way to save him? Tony himself is a little desperate..."

"Don't worry, Tony won't die."

Nick Fury shook his head, his voice became serious: "In this world, only the light before darkness is the most precious... I hope he can learn to cherish this world..."

After finishing speaking, Nick Fury hung up the phone.

Naraku Uehara listened to the busy tone on the phone, and fell into deep thought. Is the dawn before darkness the most precious?

After a long time.

Uehara Naraku took out a black envelope from his body.

A red auspicious cloud was painted on the black envelope.
