The Wittrum of the Marvel Universe

"I'm here."

"Can you help him?"

Pepper's voice was very soft.

"I know this is presumptuous."

"but……"

"I really don't know who else I can turn to."

Leon closed his eyes.

For a long time.

Give me the address.

"You're willing to come?"

"Of course."

The call was disconnected.

Leon looked at his phone.

His expression grew increasingly grim.

“Nick Fury…”

He gritted his teeth.

"That old fox."

He finally understood.

Things are probably not that simple.

Because S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly be unaware of Tony's incident.

S.H.I.E.L.D. possesses one of the world's largest secret databases.

Therefore, it's impossible for Nick Fury not to know.

unless……

Leon suddenly thought of a possibility.

Howard Stark.

That name.

It has always been extremely special in the S.H.I.E.L.D. files.

Howard left behind many things.

This includes—

A completely new element.

A way to change Tony's life

Leon's eyes turned cold.

"so it is."

……

the next day.

Pepper came to Leon again.

She barely slept all night.

"Have you found a solution?"

"found it."

Pepper looked up abruptly.

"Really?"

"real."

Leon nodded.

Tony's problem isn't as complicated as you think.

"The real problem is not his body."

"It's a reactor."

Pepper was stunned.

Leon continued:

"The reactor has been using an element that causes him continuous damage."

"By simply changing the core element, the problem of the toxins constantly increasing can be solved."

"But this element must have an extremely high energy carrying capacity."

"Ordinary materials simply cannot achieve this."

"so……"

Leon looked at Pepper.

"Howard Stark left something behind."

Pepper opened her eyes wide.

“Tony’s father?”

"That's right."

"And this thing is currently with S.H.I.E.L.D."

Pepper's expression changed from surprise to shock.

Are you sure?

"determine."

Leon nodded.

"Howard is not only one of the founders of Stark Industries."

"He was also one of the key early founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Some of his research findings were preserved by S.H.I.E.L.D."

"This element is among them."

Pepper's breathing became rapid.

"Then why..."

She suddenly stopped.

Because she had already guessed it.

Leon did not answer.

But the answer is obvious.

Nick Fury knew.

And he always knew.

Why didn't he give it to Tony?

Pepper gritted her teeth.

Leon sneered.

"Because he wanted to wait."

"Wait for what?"

"When Tony reaches true despair."

“When Tony realized he was about to die.”

"Then take the things out."

"By then, Tony will owe him a huge favor."

Pepper's face turned extremely ugly.

"This is impossible..."

Why is it impossible?

Leon countered with a question.

“Pepper, you should know who Nick Fury is better than I do.”

"He never does anything without a purpose."

"Save Tony?"

"Of course."

"But he would rather Tony owe him."

Pepper remained silent.

Leon looked at her.

"However, there's no need to let him continue acting now."

“Tell Tony directly.”

"Let him go ask Nick Fury for it."

……

Tony is throwing a tantrum in the lab.

Why did the efficiency of this reactor drop by three percent?

"Because of your physical condition."

Jarvis reminded him.

"Shut up."

"Sir, I just..."

"I know."

Tony rubbed his temples.

Chapter 160 Chips

Just then.

Pepper walked in.

“Tony”.

"If you're here to tell me to take a break..."

"No."

Pepper interrupted him directly.

Tony was stunned.

"I've found a solution."

The entire laboratory suddenly fell silent.

Tony slowly turned around.

"What did you say?"
