I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

"Remember this? It's a pity it didn't get government approval, but it created a temporary lull, and sometimes that really works."

“Tony, I had my reservations when I ordered you to be eliminated.”

"You are a goose that lays golden eggs."

"Look, fate has saved you from disaster."

Obedia Stanislav took out a device and removed it from the arc-shaped reactor on Tony Stark's chest.

"This is your last golden egg."

Looking at the arc-shaped reactor in his hand, Obedia Stanislav smiled smugly.

Do you really think that whatever you come up with is yours?

"Your father built the atomic bomb for me. If he and you were as selfish, what would the world be like?"

Obedia Stanislav met Tony Stark's struggling gaze:

"This is your Ode to Joy, a magnificent masterpiece!! It is also the core of our new generation of weapons, your final legacy. With it, I can firmly grasp the whole world in my hands."

Obedia Stanislav picked up the briefcase and placed the arc reactor inside.

"I want you to see my prototype. Don't laugh at me, but it's not as stingy as you are."

Obedia Stanislav stood up and ignored Tony Stark.

He knew very well that without the Arc Reactor, the shrapnel inside Tony Stark would soon flow into his heart and kill him.

"It's a pity you dragged Pep into this; I had intended to leave her a way out."

Picking up his suitcase, Obedia Stanislav left the luxury villa.

He had a bright smile on his face.

The heavy suitcase told him that he had the world at his fingertips.

Wealth, glory, power, status—starting tonight, he will become the richest man in America, and the richest man in the world.

No one can be above him anymore.

Especially Tony Stark, that little brat king of kids.

Chapter Twenty-Six: I Am Iron Man

[Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and reviews!]

Hao Longtao returned to his apartment.

Strangely enough, he didn't encounter Stacy and her husband in the elevator during this period.

The Stacy couple never visited their neighbors, and Hao Longtao also didn't have time to visit his neighbors.

Not to mention that Gwen is now his girlfriend.

[Mission: The Devil's Contempt. Tonight, Wilson Grant Fisk will be hosting a celebrity party in Manhattan. Smash that fat man's reputation to the ground and, in the name of the devil, send him to meet Satan. Mission Level: White.]

[The mission "The Devil's Contempt" has been completed. Host, do you wish to open the reward blind box or continue with the rolling mission?]

"Continue with the rolling task."

White blind boxes? Who do they think they are? Even a dog wouldn't want one.

[The host seems to have misunderstood the white box. The reason it's called a blind box is that no one knows what reward is inside.]

[The white box may contain Kryptonian blood!]

After listening to Hao Longtao's inner monologue, the system immediately unleashed a barrage of attacks, rebuking Hao Longtao.

"..." Hao Longtao was speechless.

Show me your Kryptonian bloodline, then.

Without Kryptonite in the Marvel Universe, Kryptonian bloodlines would absolutely crush Thanos.

Hao Longtao swore to the heavens that what the system said was absolutely false.

[The mission has entered the next round. Completing the second round will grant a +200% critical hit rate.]

[Host, please note that the system does not possess emotions; your attempts to provoke it will be ineffective.]

Hao Longtao's excitement was dampened by the cold water.

View the desire value again.

Killing Jin Bing and his men directly granted Hao Longtao 860,000 Desire Points.

Killing King and obtaining 200,000 desire points.

The rest are desire values ​​provided by the wealthy and famous.

As for Kingpin's subordinates, none of them had a desire value exceeding five thousand.

The only positive is that, with the spread of tonight's banquet, the name of the Ice Demon has become known throughout the world.

Although each person's desire for this event may not be large, it adds up.

In the foreseeable future, as his actual popularity grows, his popularity may well exceed ten million in just two or three months.

Hao Longtao did not sense any vital signs from Gwen Stacy.

The flow of blood in each person's body is different.

Hao Longtao used this to mark a person's life characteristics. With his water control magic ability, he could easily sense the presence of familiar life characteristics within a hundred feet.

"Is Gwen addicted to being Spider-Man?"

"Hasn't the excitement worn off yet?"

Hao Longtao shook his head.

Upon opening his brokerage software, he saw that his positions had already generated substantial profits.

In the past few days, Stark Industries' stock price has begun to recover.

But Hao Longtao knew that the real explosion in the stock market was yet to come.

He didn't know when Obadiah Stanislav would attack Tony Stark again, but when Tony Stark shouted that line, "I am Iron Man,"...

The whole world is about to undergo a real transformation.

The war between mutants is a war from the last century.

Currently, mutants are living in hiding and have disappeared from the news.

At least, the world has fallen into a long period of calm.

Until Tony Stark uttered those words.

"The news will tell me, no, my stocks will tell me, the start of a major Marvel movie event."

Hao Longtao flashed a charming smile.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles was in complete chaos.

Two armored Iron Men were engaged in a chaotic battle on the street.

Finally, the Stark Industries office building brought an end to the riots in Los Angeles that night in a massive explosion.

Tony Stark wins.

Obedia Stanislav had no children, yet the shares he held fell into the hands of Tony Stark.

He didn't need to lift a finger.

Jarvis, this AI ahead of its time, could easily create the perfect legal process to transfer shares to Tony Stark.

Tony Stark understood that Stark Industries could not fall into the hands of someone like Obedia Stanislav.

With his exposure and the emergence of clean energy from the Arc Reactor, Stark Industries will become a huge arena for profit.

With enough shares in his hands, no one within Stark Industries will pose a threat to him.

He could even be a dictator.

No, he was a dictator.

Tony Stark sat in the break room, fiddling with his phone, but his brilliant mind was already envisioning the future of Stark Industries.

He doesn't actually have low emotional intelligence.

However, in the face of absolute wealth, all talk of human relationships and social etiquette is utter nonsense.

When your wealth, status, and fame reach a certain level, the whole world will revolve around you.

Touching the curved reactor on his chest, he knew the radiation toxins had already entered his body.

He needs to prepare for the future.

Having experienced life and death and betrayal, he has come to understand that not everyone loves him.

They won't treat him well just because everyone loves his money.

"it's time."

"If there is no tomorrow."

"People will remember me as a genius scientist and the creator of the Mark armor."

They will be amazed by my talent.

No one can shine brighter than me.

“Tony, this is what happened in New York last night. Wilson is dead.”

Just as Tony Stark was engrossed in his plan.

Pep Potts sat down and handed the tablet to Tony Stark.

"If I remember correctly, the new office building in Stark Industries was contracted to Wilson's construction company. He is a very difficult and capable person."

With Tony Stark's influence, he naturally knew that Wilson's identity was not simple.

"It's already on the news that the New York underworld kingpin, the American underworld godfather Kingpin, is Wilson."

Pep Potts looked on in disbelief.

But thinking about what happened last night, she realized that the world had changed.

She didn't recognize him.

But none of this matters.

What Pep Potts really cares about is Tony's health.

His health condition is very poor.

"Our building is already completed. Wilson's accident has no impact on us."

Tony Stark said calmly.

They seem to have no feelings about the death of Wilson, the New York business tycoon.

If Obedia Stanislavsky could betray him, what else could possibly be possible but a relationship?

"The press conference is about to begin, Tony, are you ready?"

Pep Potts seemed to know what Tony Stark was thinking.

"Give me three minutes."

Tony Stark didn't look up, continuing to play on his phone.

Pep Potts left the break room.

"Jarvis, scan the face of the Ice Demon beneath the ice mask and find him."

Tony Stark said calmly.

The ice demon, wearing an ice mask, concealed its face.

However, the outline formed by the refraction of light within the ice can be easily identified using Jarvis's artificial intelligence to pinpoint the ice demon.

At least that's how Tony Stark sees it.

"This world is crazy."

He thought he ruled the skies with his technology.
