I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 276 Tony's Pride

"Fine! You dragged me here to be the miserable spokesperson for this whole thing, and you're just hiding here eating delicious food. That's too much..."

Arryn showed no surprise as Tony Stark walked straight in through the door.

Even before Tony pushed open the door, Erin had already guessed who it was from his hurried footsteps and unique magnetic field.

He slowly took a wet wipe and wiped his mouth.

Erin then turned to Tony Stark and said, "On the contrary, if I had gone too far, you would be completely under my thumb by now. It would be a disservice to your Iron Man identity if I didn't thoroughly squeeze out every last bit of your commercial value, instead of you having time to come here and criticize me. By the way..."

Halfway through his sentence, Erin suddenly grabbed a packaged cheeseburger from the side and threw it at Tony Stark.

"Lady Elena's signature cheeseburger is quite good; you should try it."

Mrs. Elena is the owner of a chain of burger restaurants in New York City. Her cheeseburgers are very famous, and Tony Stark, a burger enthusiast, is a regular customer at her restaurant.

Before the product launch, Fregra specially spent a lot of money to invite Mrs. Elena to make hamburgers at the Miracle Group.

This was all to satisfy Tony Stark's peculiar tastes.

Tony, who had casually taken the hamburger, subconsciously said after hearing Erin's last words, "Thanks, I was actually a little hungry."

As he spoke, he tore open the still-warm wrapper, intending to put the burger inside into his mouth.

After Tony subconsciously took a bite of the cheeseburger, he immediately realized that he had been led astray by Erin.

I was planning to cause trouble for Erin, so why am I suddenly eating with him?

However, since the cheeseburger was already in his mouth, Tony couldn't possibly spit it out, so he had no choice but to back down gracefully:

"Since you made me my favorite cheeseburger, I'll let it slide this time."

talking.

Tony pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Erin, then said without any hesitation, "Got any whiskey? Let's have a drink. That woman, Keelise, forced me to say a bunch of GG words in front of the camera earlier, I was almost dying of thirst..."

"Tony!!!"

Before Tony Stark could finish speaking, Pepper, who had followed him into the room, raised an eyebrow and said, "Arlin is not old enough to drink. Don't lead him astray. Besides, your body doesn't allow you to drink anymore."

Tony, who had just been scolded by Pepper, pouted.

Although the legal drinking age in the federal government is 21, how many boys in their rebellious phase haven't secretly drunk alcohol before that age?

Anyway, Tony didn't believe that Erin had never drunk alcohol.

At most, Pepper just doesn't know.

You should know that when he was in high school, he had already secretly drunk all the good wines that his father had hidden away.

·············

Sitting across from Tony, Erin noticed Tony Stark's eyes darting around, searching for a bottle of liquor. She said calmly, "Stop looking. There's no whiskey here. But I did have some chlorophyll prepared; it's in the fridge. Want me to get you a bottle?"

Chlorophyll!

Upon hearing this word, Tony's lips twitched, and his old face seemed to subtly transform into the shape of chlorophyll, faintly radiating a green glow.

To prevent palladium from damaging his body, Tony forces himself to drink several bottles of unpleasant-tasting chlorophyll every day.

He drank until he almost threw up.

Now, just hearing that word sends a jolt of instinctive pain through Tony's stomach.

Just as Tony was about to refuse, Pepper appeared behind him.

When Erin heard that she had prepared chlorophyll specifically for Tony, her eyes lit up. Ignoring Tony's unpleasant expression, she went straight to the refrigerator next to her and took out a large bottle of chilled chlorophyll.

When Tony saw the bottle of chlorophyll that Pepper took out of the refrigerator, his expression changed. "Hey, Pepper, let me off the hook today. I'm about to throw up from drinking that stuff."

"No!"

For Tony's health, Pepper firmly rejected Tony's pleas and handed him a bottle of chlorophyll that had been unscrewed.

"All right!"

Tony, holding the bottle of chlorophyll that Pepper handed him, had a pained expression, but he didn't throw it away because he knew Pepper was worried about his health.

Despite the discomfort, I held the bottle directly to my mouth.

Tony gulped down about 800 milliliters of chlorophyll in one go.

After throwing the empty bottle into the trash can, Tony picked up his half-eaten cheeseburger and was about to take a bite to mask the strong chlorophyll taste in his mouth when...

But he found that he had lost his appetite for the cheeseburger in his hand.

At that moment, he keenly caught the look of disappointment in Tony's eyes.

She glanced at Tony, then at Gwen beside her.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke up: "So, you still haven't found a way to deal with the palladium contamination caused by the arc reactor in your chest?"

Upon hearing Erin's words, Tony instinctively retorted, "Do you think this is easy?"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Tony's worried expression in Pepper's eyes, and then changed the subject, saying, "Of course, this is no problem for me. I already have some ideas, and it won't be long before I get rid of the threat of those palladium elements in my body. Hmm, then I'll let that damn chlorophyll go to hell."

Although Tony spoke with absolute certainty, Erin, who possessed a psychic field and could keenly sense changes in other people's emotions, could hardly tell that he was lying.

Because of the changes that Erin's intrusion brought to this world.

At this moment, Nick Fury was still hiding somewhere recovering from his injuries, and he had no time to care about Tony Stark's life or death, or to offer him any comfort.

and so.

Tony, who did not receive his father Howard's belongings, had no idea that his father's belongings contained a way to help him get out of his predicament.

Thinking of this, Erin looked up at Tony.

"Alright, stop being so stubborn." After saying that, Erin said directly, "The model from the 1974 Stark Arms Exposition contains information about a new element that can replace palladium. That new element can perfectly replace palladium, powering the Mark armor without causing any radiation pollution to your body. Go check the warehouse; your father prepared what you need decades ago."

"Once we decipher the messages your father left you, you'll never have to drink this chlorophyll again."

Erin finished speaking.

Aside from Gwen, who knew little about Tony Stark's physical condition.

The other two people in the room were stunned upon hearing this.

However, the difference is...

Pepper paused for a moment, then her face lit up with an irrepressible joy.

Pepper knew about Erin's amazing divination abilities and that Erin wouldn't joke about something like this, so when she realized what Erin had said, Pepper's first thought was...

Tony is saved.

He no longer has to suffer from palladium poisoning.

Meanwhile, after his initial shock, Tony Stark's eyes flashed with disbelief.

"How is that possible? My dad, how could he discover a new element after only a few decades? If he really discovered a new element, he would have announced it long ago. He's not the kind of person who keeps things to himself."

"It's not that he didn't want to make it public. Although Howard discovered that new element, he was limited by the technology of that era and couldn't prove its existence. So he left everything to you, and the model from the 1974 Stark Arms Exposition is the most valuable treasure he left you."

After shaking his head, Erin gave a brief explanation of Tony's doubts.

"Is it a limitation of the times?"

As one of the top scientists of our time, Tony Stark certainly understands the technological gap between this era of rapid technological advancement and the era of decades ago.

If Howard had indeed discovered clues to a new element decades ago, but was unable to actually "find" it due to technological limitations, then...

To some extent, this is not an impossible thing.

After gradually accepting the situation, Tony looked at Erin and frowned slightly, saying, "Even if the models at that weapons expo really did contain information about a new element, my dad couldn't actually find it. How can you be so sure it can replace palladium and help me get rid of the palladium contamination? And how do you even know about this?"

After waiting quietly for Tony to finish speaking, Erin smiled and said, "Don't forget I'm a fortune teller. Is it strange that fortune tellers know more?"

Another fortune teller...

Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but twitch his lips. Although he was a firm believer in science and didn't particularly care for these mystical things, recent events had made him realize that some things did indeed exist.

After taking a deep breath, Tony's expression turned serious as he stared intently at Erin and said, "So why did you tell me all this this time? Don't tell me you did it because I'm endorsing the Miracle Potion; I don't believe you're that generous."

"Of course, an endorsement deal isn't worth this news, and besides, I've already paid your endorsement fee."

"I knew it."

After a slight smirk, Tony gave a knowing look and said, "So, what do you want to trade this information for this time? Stark Industries shares, or...?"

Before Tony Stark could finish speaking, Erin shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money right now, and after the Miracle Potion product launch, I'll be even less short of money. Besides, I have no interest in Stark Industries' shares."

"So what do you want? Let me make this clear first, I'm not interested in men!"

"Heh, stop being so narcissistic. Apart from Aunt Pepper, I don't think anyone in this world would be interested in someone like you."

After giving Tony a disdainful look, Erin pointed to Gwen and Pepper beside her and said, "My request is not high. After you confirm the new element, just make two sets of self-defense equipment for Aunt Pepper and Gwen."

As she spoke, Erin looked at Gwen and Pepper with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"The world is getting more and more chaotic. Situations like the Iron Monger incident are likely to become more and more common. For Aunt Pepper and Gwen's safety, I feel I have to prepare something. If I didn't have something suitable on hand right now, I wouldn't have asked you to make something for Aunt Pepper and Gwen to protect themselves."

Ever since that blood moon, Erin has had a bad feeling.

He sensed that something inexplicable and inexplicable had occurred deep within the world.

Although Erin didn't understand what had happened, he knew that it was always better to be prepared for the future.

If it weren't for the fact that the items she had all had various side effects and weren't suitable for the two of them, Erin would have armed Gwen and Pepper herself.

Make two sets of self-defense items for Pepper and that little girl?

"Was it that blood moon?"

After the strange blood moon appeared yesterday, the world seemed to enter a period of madness, with all sorts of bizarre things suddenly emerging one after another.

In the morning, Jarvis, who had just finished compiling the data, made a point of reminding himself of this.

She glanced at Gwen next to Erin, then at Pepper next to herself.

Tony Stark seemed to understand why Arryn would use this valuable information to exchange for him to build them a set of self-defense equipment.

Tony never wants to experience the feelings he had when he learned that Pepper was being hunted by Iron Monger Obadiah again.

After Arlin's mother passed away, Pepper, as his only remaining relative, must have been a source of great distress for Arlin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the mysterious clown to save him.

If the world is rife with chaos, it's understandable that Erin would have such thoughts for the safety of Pepper and his girlfriend.

However, Pepper is now his girlfriend.

Do you really need Erin to make conditions in exchange for building self-defense gear for Pepper?

Where does this leave Tony's face?

Thinking about this...

Tony Stark wrapped his arm around Pepper's waist, and amidst Pepper's gasp, proudly declared, "After this product launch, I'll design two special suits of armor specifically for your girlfriend and Pepper to protect them. But Pepper is my girlfriend, so you don't need to worry about her safety. I'll take Pepper's suit and make it yours instead!"

"Give me?"

Looking at Tony's proud face, Erin chuckled and shook her head, then said, "Fine, that works too!"

Since Tony was willing to pay for Aunt Pepper's share out of his own pocket, why should Erin be unhappy about it?
