……
The next day.
Bright sunlight streamed into the bedroom, and the white gauze curtains swayed in the breeze.
New York was already bustling, while Ivanka remained asleep.
After a long while, Ivanka finally opened her beautiful eyes, rubbed her still sleepy eyes, and saw Hawke as soon as she opened them.
A handsome face.
She watched for a while, then her gaze shifted downwards, and she curiously touched Hawke's strong pectoral muscles. They were indeed very hard, like rocks, yet they exuded a kind of vitality, as if magma was flowing inside.
"you're awake?"
Hawke yawned.
"Uh……"
Ivanka withdrew her hand in a flash.
It feels like I've been caught doing something wrong by the teacher.
"Would you like breakfast?" Hawke asked. "I'll make it for you."
"Cuckoo~"
A cry came from Ivanka's flat, white belly, making her blush.
"Haha, it's okay, it's normal. People need to eat to survive. You'll get hungry if you skip a meal."
Hawke laughed loudly, flipped himself off the boat, dressed, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Ivanka.
"what……"
Ivanka lay on the soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling:
"I finally let this guy take me down."
I lay quietly for a while.
Ivanka also felt unwell, so she threw back the covers, preparing to get out of bed and take a shower...
She carefully disembarked from the boat, but her feet felt weak on the floor, as if her knees might buckle and she would collapse to her knees at any moment. Indeed, her knees were somewhat red and swollen.
He found a silk robe in Hawke's closet, and slowly moved into the bathroom.
By the time Ivanka had finished washing herself, Hawke's breakfast was almost ready.
The two sat down at the dining table.
Hawke couldn't help but smile as he watched Ivanka sit and lie down so cautiously.
"How dare you laugh!" Ivanka glared at Hawke fiercely. "It's all because of you! I had work scheduled for today, but now it looks like I'll have to take half a day off and readjust my work schedule."
Otherwise, how could she go out to work if her legs couldn't support her after just a few steps?
People will laugh at you.
"Okay, okay, I know, it's all my fault. Let's eat first." Hawke placed the millet porridge, fried dough sticks, eggs, and sandwiches he had prepared in front of Ivanka: "You did so much physical work last night, you must have exhausted a lot. Eat something good to replenish your energy."
Hawke ate his breakfast and said, "You can stay here with me this morning, but I have something important to do and need to go out. I probably won't be back until the afternoon."
Well, the date agreed upon with Obama has arrived, and he should go collect the additional $20 billion he extorted from Obama.
"I'm in this state, and instead of staying home with me, you're out having fun?" Ivanka said, sounding a little aggrieved. "In your eyes, am I really that unimportant?"
“You’re really wronging me. If I had nothing else to do, I would definitely spend this morning with you and let you recover before we talk. But this time it’s something really important, and how should I tell you…” Hawke thought for a moment and said, “It’s a huge deal involving $20 billion.”

"$20 billion?"
Ivanka's eyes widened at the numbers:
"What have you done this time that involves such a large sum of money?"
"Don't worry about what I'm doing. It'll be a secret for now. I'll definitely tell you when I have the chance."
Hawke said.
"Even after all this, you're still keeping it a secret from me?" Ivanka pouted. "You don't trust me?"
"It's not a matter of trust or distrust, but rather that it's not suitable for you to know. For example... about the dump truck, are you sure you want to hear about it?"
Hawke laughed.
In an instant, Ivanka recalled the shock she felt when she saw the heavy truck crash into the SUV.
"All right……"
Ivanka clicked her tongue:
"I'd better not ask."
Hawke smiled.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ivanka glance at the newspaper beside her and exclaim:
"Hawk, something seems to have happened to your best buddy Tony Stark!?"
"What!?"
Hawke's eyes widened immediately, and with a slightly exaggerated expression, he said:
"What happened?"
"The newspapers seem to be saying that Tony Stark's convoy in Afghanistan was attacked, and he is missing. U.S. forces in Afghanistan are conducting a full-scale search and rescue operation."
Ivanka was also shocked.
Because it feels like you've heard that Teacher Ma has suddenly been kidnapped.
The world's richest man, the chairman of Stark Industries, just... disappeared?
"What? Who dares to cut down my sworn brother Bobby... cough, Tony!?"
Hawke, his face filled with indescribable sorrow, pulled out a tissue and wiped away his tears.
"You bastards, I'm going to kill their whole family."
Ivanka watched Hawke's performance and, for some reason, felt something was off...
Is it because Hawke is too sad that he is unable to express normal emotions?
"Ivanka, I'm so angry right now!"
Ivanka: "..."
……
Afghanistan.
night.
Tony stared blankly at the fire, lost in thought, without saying a word.
“The U.S. military is definitely looking for you everywhere right now, Stark.”
Ethan and Tony sat facing each other:
"But this is deep in the mountains, they can't find you. Everything you've seen before, that's your legacy, Stark. Your life's work has fallen into the hands of terrorists. Do you want to die like this? Is this the final act of defiance by the great Tony Stark?"
"Or should you think of a solution..."
“Why should I do anything?” Tony suddenly said. “They’re going to kill you anyway, kill me anyway, and even if they don’t, I probably won’t live more than a week.”
"So, this week is crucial for you, right?"
Tony's pupils dilated suddenly.
Yes, he's the smartest man in the world, Tony Stark. He's given a week to think, can't he find a way to survive?
late at night.
Tony lay on the hard bed in the cave, his mind wandering to Stark Industries' weapons, terrorists, and the innocent civilians who had been brutally murdered...
He was the most powerful arms dealer in history. No nation at war could resist the allure of his boastful talk. In fact, his weapons were absolutely formidable weapons of war, capable of striking from any angle.
As a successful arms dealer, he enjoyed the honor that money brought, and of course, his private life was extremely luxurious, with an independent seaside villa, luxury cars, and beautiful women by his side.
He manufactured weapons, originally thinking they were only for protecting America and safeguarding world peace, but now he realizes that weapons are just weapons, meant for killing.
How cruel war is!
No matter how powerful a weapon is, in the hands of bad people it will only cause slaughter!
He suddenly had a sudden realization:
I have never cultivated good deeds in my life, only loved oil and arms. Now that the tide of Hermandel has come, I finally know who I am!
……
“Ivanka, do you know how heartbroken I am right now?” Hawke pulled up his pants and said with a somber expression, “This whole thing with Tony came so suddenly. I need some time to process this.”
"OK……"
Ivanka didn't know what to say, so she swallowed the phlegm stuck in her throat and quickly spoke.
She had certainly heard that Hawke and Tony were very close, and given that Tony's fate was currently unknown, it was understandable that Hawke was feeling heavy-hearted.
She had just done her best to comfort Hawke, and even felt that she had touched the depths of Hawke's heart, but these kinds of things are definitely not something that can be done by others' advice alone; Hawke still has to get through it himself.
Ever since.
Hawke dressed himself up and went out of the house.
Ivanka looked at the white millet porridge on the table, feeling nauseous. She quickly covered her mouth and went to the bathroom to dry heave.
……
"Haha, using Tony to elicit their sympathy, this trick works pretty well." Hawke's face was no longer showing the sad expression he had just had; he was practically beaming with joy as he walked out of the house. "I just tried it on Ivanka, now I'll try it on other people."
"Tony, Tony, you are truly my dearest friend, my brother. Not only did you help me earn billions of dollars, but you also helped me unlock so much more knowledge... I don't even know how to thank you enough."
Hawke exclaimed.
