Marvel's genius inventor? I'll make a wish-granting dragon with my own hands.

Howard has maintained contact with Russell.

When Howard returned to Tony's luxurious villa, he felt extremely unfamiliar with it. After all, Tony had been dead for more than a decade, and there was no trace of him left in this so-called former home.

There was nothing familiar.

There's just a bunch of sexy stockings and panties that I haven't had time to deal with yet.

Howard: ?

He only realized it then.

His son Tony not only inherited his intelligence, but also underwent a genetic mutation, transforming from a womanizer into a Casanova.

Now nearly 40 years old, he is not only unmarried, but also a womanizer.

All sorts of beautiful women climbed into his bed.

Evidence is everywhere.

Howard was somewhat bewildered, feeling as if the times had changed beyond recognition. "Are people these days really willing to abandon their dignity and integrity for money?"

"This is marrying into a wealthy family, sir! Times have changed!"

Jarvis, the smart butler, spoke with a hint of nostalgia.

In this empty, unfamiliar villa.

The other person was the only one Howard was familiar with.

After all, Jarvis was Howard's personal butler, and they grew up together. Later, when Howard often went out to look for Captain America, it was Jarvis who took care of Tony and gave him a fatherly feeling.

So later, when Tony was creating artificial intelligence, he rebuilt a smart butler based on the other person's experience and personality, which can be considered as completing an alternative AI rebirth.

After a brief period of confusion and astonishment at the intelligent butler Jarvis, Howard adapted to the new era with Jarvis's help.

He secretly added Russell's contact information behind Tony's back.

It was originally intended for private discussions.

Such as the style of the battle suit, the size of the gravity sensor, and the production of the Dragon Ball radar.

Little did they expect it to become a distress signal when their lives were in danger.

As for why he didn't ask Tony for help?

Howard: To nip the problem in the bud?

Compared to Tony, who was still recovering from his injuries, looked listless, and whose kidneys were still uncertain of their effectiveness, Howard naturally preferred the more mysterious and powerful Russell.

After all, the other party directly rejected the existence of super soldiers.

They clearly have stronger backing.

But Russell knew Tony's strength; Tony was a notorious tough guy in the entire Marvel Universe who had fought with all kinds of superheroes and supervillains and had researched a whole bunch of anti-superhero armor.

So he casually forwarded the distress video to Tony.

Tony immediately lost his temper.

Wearing my armor, attacking my father, and then saying my armor is really good? I'll curse your ancestors!

Without saying a word, Tony put on the mask himself, then started breathing fire from his hands and feet and charged out of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

This time, we definitely didn't go through the window.

Instead, it climbed to the ceiling.

There was a loud thud.

The ceiling was as if it were made of paper.

It was hit and a big hole was made.

Nick Fury stared at the large hole in the wall, watching the sunlight streaming in. His mind raced. He turned to Russell and said, "The renovation will cost $10. Put it on this playboy's tab."

"OK, I'll communicate with Mr. Stark."

Russell was conscientious and responsible.

He wrote down a million-dollar bill for Tony in a small notebook.

Everyone's attention turned to the battle between Obadiah and Howard, their eyes filled with the interest of watching a spectacle unfold.

Peggy looked at her old friend who had come back from the dead with a look of shock and disbelief. Even though Nick Fury had told her, she still found it hard to believe when she saw it with her own eyes.

Can the dead be resurrected?

The missing Steve...

Where are you now?!

"wrong."

Natasha, who was watching from the side, frowned slightly, then quickly searched for information and soon found the reason for the problem: "According to Tony, the Iron Man suit that fought Howard was Obadiah."

"But Obadiah held a press conference with Tony just a few days ago. He's the vice president of Stark Industries."

"Back when Howard founded Stark Industries."

"The other party is the Minister of Security."

"He has always been a core member of Stark Industries' senior management."

Natasha was puzzled. "A veteran like him should know Howard, so why did he attack him so violently? And how did he get into Tony's villa and obtain his armor?"

Could it be that they saw Howard come back to life?

They thought they had seen a ghost.

Then he started hitting the other person repeatedly.

I want to use physical methods to exorcise demons.

That's really too abstract!

"Howard mentioned to me these past few days that the reason Tony was attacked was because there was a mole within the company. So, with Jarvis's help, he was looking through the company's accounts, but he only found some vague clues."

Russell added, thus clearing up everyone's doubts, and shrugged, "It seems that evidence is no longer needed; the real mole has already come forward."

Obadiah was very daring.

He was Tony's confidant.

They were almost like ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor.

After Howard's murder, he stepped forward to maintain the Stark Industries' operations, helped Tony with the funeral arrangements for Howard and his wife, and eventually returned power to them.

This made Tony extremely grateful to him, and he gave him almost enormous power and authority, leaving him completely unguarded.

And it is precisely this kind of trust that is the basis for this.

This led to Obadiah breaking into the other party's villa, using sonar to paralyze Tony, and stealing the Arc Reactor from Tony's chest. This was the closest Tony ever came to death.

And now.

The other party used the same trick again.

However, this time it wasn't the Arc Reactor that was stolen; instead, the entire Iron Man suit was stolen.

Russell speculated that the other party stole the Iron Man suit either to hold a press conference, showcase Tony's talent to the world, and thereby boost Stark Industries' stock.

Either they were threatened by terrorists and acted out of desperation.

"Obadai, you don't want Tony to find out what you did and make you lose your job, do you?"

And after the other party met Howard.

Those punches were incredibly realistic.

A ruthless style of play.

It's clearly the latter!

"What? He's the mole?"

The agents present were taken aback, and even Tony was shocked; they couldn't believe that Obadiah was this kind of person.

There's absolutely no reason for it.

Why?

"Because he is in great pain."

"?"

"He's only the second-largest shareholder of Stark Industries, receiving a meager salary of tens of millions of dollars a year, with annual dividends of less than one hundred million US dollars. How could he not feel pain?"

Obadiah: Ouch! It hurts so much!

To the secret agents whose annual salary is less than a million: !!!

Howard vs. Obadiah.

It's practically a different kind of Captain America vs. Iron Man scenario.

However, both of them are essentially weakened versions.

After all, the Iron Man armor at this time was only version two, far less powerful than it would be later. In particular, Tony had not yet learned kung fu, so the built-in fighting template greatly reduced its combat power.

Howard isn't a battlefield elite like Captain America either, because of his advanced age, which has significantly reduced the effectiveness of the super soldier serum.

In addition, he didn't have a shield.

The disadvantages are even greater.

So Obadiah was completely dominating Howard, but with Tony's intervention, the situation was completely reversed.

He was no match for the father and son working together.

They quickly became extremely disheveled.

Obadiah was very decisive and chose to break through the window to leave, moving the battlefield to another location, leaving Howard powerless.

Tony followed closely behind.

Two identical Iron Man suits clashed from the sky to the ground, leaving a trail of destruction and ruins in their wake.

If Tony hadn't had such a short production time that he hadn't installed weapon systems like missiles on the suit, the kill radius would probably have been much larger, making those Americans on the street think that Saddam Hussein had attacked again.

And this time...

The police arrived just in time.

They quickly surrounded Obadiah and Tony.

But when they saw the other side's armor, which was thicker than steel plates.

And the opponent's palm cannon, more powerful than a hand grenade, could easily blow a car away.

He immediately started swallowing hard.

The NYPD Commissioner's roar filled the walkie-talkie, a veritable scream: "Damn bastards! Where do they think they are? This is New York, the safest place in the world! How can we allow them to run rampant like this?!"

"Quick! Fire!"

"Shoot them dead, don't worry about their lives!"

The officers looked at their short, cumbersome pistols, exchanging bewildered glances. They were tasked with eliminating Tony and Obadiah, these two steel monsters, without leaving any survivors…

Me...us?
