Chapter 71： Tony Shattered

"Palladium poisoning is very painful"

On the return flight, Tony hid in the kitchen.

Every word of Ivan hit his heart hard.

‘Iron Man’s myth has been shattered, the Ark Reactor is no longer just his patent, and the Mark 5, which is basically scrapped, has his wounds appearing in front of everyone’

At this moment, Tony, who is about to collapse, wants to go out with Pepper and relax.

Walking out of the kitchen, looking at Pepper outside, and Leo sitting on a plate drinking Coke, Tony's face became frustrated.

On TV, the obese senator at the hearing ridiculed the scene.

"Tony Stark said that steel armor will not appear anywhere, never appear anywhere, at least in the next 5 to 10 years..."

"Mute!"

Tony sat down, put the tray in his hand in front of Pepper, and drew a few knives and forks from his trouser pocket.

"What is that?" Pepper asked.

"Your meal on board."

Tony opened it and saw it was a plate of fried mushroom omelette.

"You did this?"

"Yes, what do you think I'm doing these three hours?" Tony looked at Pepper and said.

Leo leaned in and took a look.

"Leo, not for you."

"Oh, I'm so lucky." Leo lay down again.

"What are you hiding from me?" Pepper stared at Tony, with doubts in his eyes, helplessness and sadness.

Ten years of company, so that she has discovered Tony's anomaly.

Tony looked at Pepper seriously, "I don't want to go home at all."

"Cancel my birthday party, we are in Europe, go to Venice to stay in Cipuani Hotel... Do you remember?"

Pepper also seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile.

"Remember."

"Living there... okay... okay... good for your health." Tony looked at Pepper and said.

"Now is not a good time, a lot of things have to be cleaned up, as the CEO, I must be in the company."

"You, as the CEO, have the right to leave.. U.S. employees on vacation."

"On vacation? At this critical juncture?"

Pepper's eyes widened and looked at Tony in shock. She didn't know the truth. She really didn't understand that Tony would say such a thing.

"Just take the car." Tony was afraid to look directly at Pepper's eyes.

Tony's eyes darkened, and his voice became smaller and he lowered his head.

"As long as we recharge it, we will figure out a way."

"Not everyone of us lives on batteries, Tony." Pepper said, looking at Tony.

Tony raised his head and smiled at Pepper who had been staring at him.

But the smile didn't last for a second, his head turned back, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Looking out the window, the incredible Tony Stark frowned. He knew that he had tested all the elements and could not replace the palladium metal.

So as long as he continues to wear the steel suit, he will get closer and closer to death.

Leo looked at Tony Stark, who looked down at the window, and had never seen him so disappointed and painful.

......

At the same time, Ivan, who was arrested in Monaco and just put in a private cell, is desperately waiting to be sentenced, and then spends the rest of his life in prison.

But it was clear that the meal hadn't arrived yet, but a plate was placed at the door.

Ivan picked it up and found that there was a plastic time bomb in the place where the mashed potatoes were supposed to be.

At the same time, a prisoner who was about the same size as his was pushed into the door.

glanced at the number on the prisoner with the same number as himself, and laughed a little sullenly.

So, after an explosion, Ivan was sent to a secret factory in Queens, New York, in exchange for a prince by a civet cat.

And Justin Hammer has set the table here long ago, waiting for his arrival.

......

in a seaside mansion in Malibu.

Pepper and Natasha kept making calls in the lobby without stopping for a moment.

Because of the Monaco incident, news about Iron Man was mentioned on many TV shows.

The masses questioned whether Iron Man can protect their safety.

When Pepper and Natasha were in a hurry, Rod walked in angrily.

"Where is he?"

Natasha turned her head and said, "He doesn't want to be disturbed."

"He's downstairs." Pepper said without turning his head back, and then quickly continued to negotiate with the voice on the phone.

Pepper was a little angry that Tony didn't come out to help, and also hoped that Rod would persuade Tony.

Tony returned home and sat at his desk in a daze. The huge projection screen in front of him contained all the information about Anton Fanco.

Jarvis’ voice came.

"The search is complete, sir, Anton Fanko is a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963, but he was accused of being a spy and was deported in 1967."

"His son Ivan, also a physicist, was sentenced to 15 years in Kopesk Prison for reselling weapon-grade plutonium materials to Pakistan during the Soviet period. There is no other record."

Rod directly opened the door with his own password and looked at Tony sitting at the table.

"Tony, I have been talking on the phone with the militia all day, persuading them not to drive a tank, smash through your door, and take these away."

Rod pointed to the armor on the wall and said, "They want to take your steel armor, they don't bother to play games with you."

"Are you listening?"

Tony still sat there blankly.

Leo walked over and brought the box with the palladium board to Tony.

"Is the government ready to rob it? Is it robbing the armor or the reactor?" Leo looked at the helmets on the wall with no energy source and laughed.

Rod also saw Tony with a very bad face, "Tony, are you okay?"

......

Because Ivan’s reactor appeared, Tony fell into endless self-blame.

No one knows if Ivan leaked the reactor. It may not be long before a large number of inferior armors will appear on the black market. Wars of all sizes will erupt because of their own ~www.novelhall.com~ Countless people will die.

In addition, Tony himself has a tendency to self-destruct, that is to say, Tony at this time is already determined to die.

Tony, with a very bad face, took down the reactor, took out the burnt and smoking palladium plate in it, and put a new one in it.

Rod looked at the smoking and disgusting palladium plate, and asked in shock, "You put this thing in your body?"

"What's the matter with the anagram on your neck?"

Tony was silent for a moment, "Abrasions."

Rod was also silent for a while, worriedly watching Tony drinking chlorophyll juice, "You don't need to be the savior by yourself, you don't need to rely on yourself."

"I believe what you said, but you have to trust me!"

"Most people have misunderstandings about me, I know exactly what I'm doing." Tony stared at the two stubbornly.

......

That night, Tony and Leo sat in the studio and did nothing.

Tony stared at the computer screen dreamily, not knowing what he was thinking.

Leo sucked Sprite and dangled in the basement, "Tony, you externally installed the energy source of Mark II. What, did you figure it out?"

Tony smiled bitterly, "Give it to Rod, he wanted it a long time ago, and I also gave Rod the permission, which can be regarded as an explanation to the military."

"Why do you want to die? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? My eyes can see a lot of things, but you never believed it."

Leo walked up to Tony, "Have you tried all the elements?"

"Already tried."

"Then, have you ever thought about discovering a new element?"
