Natasha couldn't help but glance sideways. If she understood correctly, the other party intended for her to go straight to the point where she was close to his heart?
She didn't feel touched, but it was a little unbelievable. Did Stark lose his mind while trying to pick up girls?
She should have made a note of this, as it was one of Stark's weaknesses.
Although she thought so in her heart, she remained calm on the surface: "This...can I do this?"
"Of course, I believe you."
Tony lay down facing the operating table and removed the old reactor by himself. An electric wire was pulled out, one end connected to the inside of the chest cavity and the other end connected to the reactor.
"Do it."
Natasha was numb. This was too disgusting. Did they have to use their hands directly?
She thought about it, then found a pair of disposable medical gloves on the table beside her and put them on. Then, under Tony's expectant gaze, she bravely reached out her hand...
A few minutes later, Natasha took off her gloves expressionlessly and threw them into the trash can.
In fact, the hole in Tony's chest was not close to any internal organs. Ethan had transformed it into a capacitor tissue that could accommodate components, and it was actually surrounded by metal walls.
But there is some chemical solution in it, which is a bit sticky and will make people who touch it feel very uncomfortable.
He also let Pepper do this in the original movie, but at that time they already had a deep friendship, more than friends but less than lovers, so Pepper didn't take it too seriously.
But Natasha's emotions were all acted out. She was already giving Tony face by not saying them out loud, and she was also living up to her identity as an agent.
Tony didn't notice her expression. He carefully installed the new reactor, then stood up with a refreshed look on his face, as if he had just taken a tonic pill.
"Thank you, you helped me a lot!"
Natasha put on a fake smile and acted very honored. She felt that she was not as tired as she was now when she was clearing out the Red House in Russia.
"Tony, the guests at the party are waiting for you now."
Tony looked at the time and it was almost time.
"Natalie, please come with me."
"It's my honor, but I need to change into a dress first..."
While Natasha was changing into her dress, Tony walked into the reception room and everyone saluted when they saw him.
Regardless of whether he is crazy or not, and regardless of how Stark's stock plummets, at least today, he is still the richest man in the United States.
And he is still that genius. Even if he falls temporarily, many people believe that he has a chance to make a comeback. Therefore, everyone who received the invitation letter came.
Tony smiled. He invited these people here today not just to have a party, but also to develop a new business.
Closing the weapons department was a decision he made after careful consideration. Of course, he also prepared a new major project to replace the losses suffered by Stark Industries due to the loss of military industry.
Moreover, the profits generated by this new project will be even greater than those from the previous military industry, and he does not intend to monopolize it.
He will keep the core technology and hand over other supporting industrial chains to others. If you want to do big business, you must know how to divide the cake. People who only want to monopolize it will find it difficult to go far. Tony Stark does not lack a sense of the overall situation.
But when he looked, he didn't see Obadiah, which made him feel a little disappointed.
He actually wanted to use this opportunity to ease the relationship between the two of them which had become somewhat strained due to their previous quarrel.
"Hey everyone, do you remember me? I'm back!"
(Wang Lihao) Everyone smiled politely and raised their glasses to him.
Among them was a black man named James Rhodes.
He and Tony are old acquaintances. They met when Tony was studying at MIT, and their friendship has continued to this day.
Tony said a few polite words and then walked off the stage to reunite with Rhodes.
"You bastard! Do you know your remarks almost drove me crazy!" Rhodes complained bluntly.
"I just know I can drive women crazy, or your boss?" Tony grinned.
Rhodes scoffed: "The only way you can drive a woman crazy is to keep stuffing money into her bra or panties!"
We are all good friends, who doesn’t know each other?
As for Tony's ability, it is only slightly better than the Quickshooter. This man always has a mysterious confidence in his charm. If it weren't for his last name Stark, which woman would be intimate with him?
Tony didn't care. He raised his glass, clinked it with Rhodes's, took a sip, and then sneered, "But don't forget, I'm still better than you! You shame on black people!"
Rhodes's face darkened.
Chapter 727 Prototype
There are three great challenges in life. Tony and Rhodes experienced one of them when they were young. At that time, the two young and energetic people loved to compare with each other.
Even though Rhodes is a black man and a soldier, he is no match for Stark in that aspect. Rhodes is deeply ashamed of this and has been laughed at by his friends to this day.
"That was a long time ago. I must be better than you now!" Rhodes was a little angry.
If it were the previous Stark, he would definitely not mind competing with Rhodes again, but now, he has become a little bored with such projects, and the glitz and glamour of the world has become a little dim in his eyes.
“Rod, do you know what I saw where I was kidnapped?
"It's weapons, weapons made by Stark Industries! Those weapons were supposed to protect our soldiers, but they became weapons of mass destruction for terrorists."
Rhodes hesitated to speak. He really wanted to comfort Tony, it was just arms smuggling, very common!
Even Wakanda, which claims that it will never sell vibranium to the outside world, actually has some vibranium flowing into the black market. The shield in Captain America's hand is the best evidence.
But Rhodes didn't dare to say it, because the weapons produced by Stark Industries were strictly prohibited from being sold abroad. The reason was that the technological content contained in them was much higher than other military products.
The reason why the United States' military strength can dominate the world is because it has a far-leading advantage in high-tech and cutting-edge technology. Therefore, the military keeps a close eye on Stark's weapons and equipment and will never let them spread out.
In theory, this should be the case, but as we all know, in America, there is nothing that cannot be sold related to the 737.
So the reality is that those weapons were still leaked and fell into the hands of terrorists.
Once this matter is made public, it will not only cause an uproar in public opinion, but will also trigger a huge political storm, and no one knows who will be swept up in this storm.
As a black man, Rhodes decided to stay away from the incident to avoid being involved.
So he could only change the subject: "Tony, your company's stock is plummeting, how can you still have the mood to hold a party?"
"What? Even you know about this?" Tony Stark glanced at him.
"Of course, because I also invested in Stark's stock!"
He felt depressed when he talked about this. The American people were very fond of investing in stocks. As an officer with a small fortune, Rhodes naturally invested a little as well.
He doesn't trust stock managers, but he trusts Tony Stark, so it's more like investing in Stark himself than investing in Stark Industries.
But who would have thought that he could lose money by investing?
As a result, this guy gloated: "What's going on? I lost a lot of money?"
Seeing his extremely happy expression, Rhodes wanted to punch him in the face.
"If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a family, I would really want to fight you right now."
If he had to support a family, Rhodes would have faced bankruptcy crisis by now.
Tony took a leisurely sip of his drink and said calmly, "Don't worry, Stark will never let his investors lose money!"
These words are powerful and convincing.
Rhodes' heart moved, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
He was considered a relatively intelligent black man. After observing the guests present, he found that the vast majority of them were business leaders related to the electricity and new energy industries.
Is Stark planning to switch to the energy industry? It doesn't seem impossible!
Then he saw Tony Stark suddenly running in one direction. At the end of his direction, a woman in a red evening gown was standing there.
The beauty attracted everyone's attention just by standing there, as if the starry sky at night was eclipsed by her.
Tony didn't know what he said, but it made the beauty laugh and talk. There were so many men present who were captivated by that woman's smile.
In order to build his energy business, Tony has to personally take Natalie to negotiate cooperation with those capitalists...
At the same time, Obadiah, who was about to attend the banquet, suddenly received a communication from the Ten Rings Gang.
"You bastards! How dare you contact me? You've messed everything up!"
"Mr. Stan, that may not be the case. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly."
"What do you mean?" Obadiah frowned.
"I have something nice to show you..."
The person in the video was the small leader of the "Ten Commandments Gang". He moved his body to expose the things behind him.
Obadiah's eyes immediately lit up!
Although he is not a genius in technical research, he works in the military industry after all, so he naturally has some vision.
"This is power armor! How do you have something like this?"
"We didn't make it. Tony Stark made it while he was a guest here. After he left, our people collected it."
Obadiah reacted immediately: "You can't fix it!"
The little boss's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "That's right, but isn't this exactly the basis for our cooperation, don't you think?"
Obadiah sneered and thought to himself, you guys are just a bunch of garbage in the gutter and bugs in the mud, and you think you are qualified to talk about cooperation with me?
However, considering that the power armor is now in the other party's hands, Obadiah does not mind pretending to be friendly with the other party.
"Tell me, how much money do you want?"
"Mr. Stan, you misunderstood. We don't want money."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think...we can use this power armor as a technology investment, and every time you build one, we'll take a portion. How about this plan?"
Obadiah thought he had misheard, but when he saw the seriousness on the other person's face, his eyes widened.
These damn rubbish are just wishful thinking. They are trying to get something for nothing and put it on my head!
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"What a shame! You have to think about it. This power armor is a prototype. There is only one in the world!"
Obadiah sneered, "Don't forget, this machine was built by Tony Stark. Do you think he'll rebuild it? Given my relationship with him, can't I get a new one from him?"
"I heard Stark decided to close the weapons department?"
"So what? I'm his uncle! Is it difficult to ask him to rebuild a new one?"
"If I tell him that it was his dearest uncle who hired us to kill him..."
The smile on Obadiah's face disappeared, leaving only silence and a deep murderous intent.
"Do you think I can't kill you just because you're in the Middle East?"
With Obadiah's connections in the military, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hire someone to eliminate a group of terrorists. He could just take revenge in Tony's name.
The small boss also knew this, so he quickly made amends: "Of course, this is just a negotiation technique. Please trust our professional ethics, Mr. Stan."
You have shitty ethics!
Obadiah became more determined to kill all these guys.
But now, he had to hold back and continue negotiating with the other party.
"Change the terms!"
"In that case, we request that you promise to send us a few units after you have reproduced the power armor."
Haha, you short-sighted guy, as expected, garbage is garbage. Without the support of the industrial chain, what’s the use of just getting a few power armors?
Can you repair it if it’s broken, or can you charge it if it’s out of power?
What's more, Obadiah had no intention of keeping the agreement from the beginning, but he still pretended to think about it before agreeing.
"Okay! I promise you, but I want to see the prototype right away!"
"No problem. When are you planning on coming over?"
"Now!".
