Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

"it is good."

Pietro nodded sharply.

He disappeared from sight, while Wanda calmly changed into new clothes.

She wore a red coat, jeans, and Doc Martens.

She likes red.

After she changed her clothes, Pietro reappeared.

“Let’s go.” Looking at her brother who was dressed, Wanda stretched out her hand, and a portal sparking with sparks appeared.

The two walked over.

And this leap took them from their base on the Siberian plains to New York.

......

Inside a New York seaside villa.

Tony had just resolved the minor issue of the MK armor's high-altitude icing during the day when he was greeted by an unpleasant guest that evening.

Obadiah.

Tony knew perfectly well that Obadiah had concealed his global arms smuggling network and even wanted to kick him out of Stark Industries.

But Tony didn't react immediately.

Instead, he completely hid his original thoughts deep inside.

They greeted Obadiah as if they hadn't noticed anything.

Tony poured Obadiah a glass of whiskey and handed it to him, then poured one for himself.

Tony glanced at Obadiah, who was sitting on the sofa drinking, then calmly moved to the other side, leaned back against the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked frivolous: "Hey, Obadiah, what's up so late?"

Obi is Tony's affectionate nickname for Obadiah.

"Tony, I heard you've been spending a lot of time in the lab lately. Have you come up with anything good? Like, Jericho is almost finished?"

Obadiah, with a friendly smile on his large face, spoke warmly.

In reality, his tone was full of probing.

In the past, Tony might not have cared at all, but now Tony's heart was filled with disgust.

"It's just a small toy; it will take some time."

Tony swirled his wine glass.

There was neither denial nor explicit statement.

Obadiah's expression remained unchanged, and he sat in the same posture as usual, with one hand resting on the back of the sofa and the other holding a wine glass.

"I'm here to tell you some good news. The military has confirmed that you will be awarded the Pinnacle Award. It should be held in Las Vegas at the end of this year, and it will be presented to you by your good friend Colonel Rhodes."

The Pinnacle Award, jointly presented by the U.S. military and government agencies, is officially known as the Annual Pinnacle Award. It recognizes Tony Stark's inventions of intelligent weapons, advanced robotics, and satellite positioning technology, which have helped him defend American freedom and global interests.

This is undoubtedly a great honor for an arms dealer.

In fact, this meal of dumplings was made simply for the sake of having a little vinegar.

The military is doing this simply in an attempt to win over this genius in military research and development through these means.

By the way, urge Tony to develop more high-tech weapons as soon as possible.

For example, the data disclosed regarding the Jericho missile greatly satisfied the military, who hoped that Stark Industries would complete the research as soon as possible.

Once the Jericho missile is developed, it will generate a very large profit.

The military is already impatient.

They had no doubt that the Jericho missile would be successfully developed, because the developer was Tony Stark.

“You know I’m not interested in these things, Obi. Jericho needs some more time to perfect it, but it’ll be done soon.” Tony said in a lazy tone.

This shows that they don't care about this so-called award at all.

This is very much in line with his previous behavior.

Obadiah had no doubts whatsoever.

"Okay, I just hope I don't have to go in your place again."

After saying that, Obadiah seemed to think of something and asked, seemingly casually, "Have you been paying attention to that Terra lately?"

Tony picked up his glass and took a sip, concealing the mockery that flashed in his eyes.

After putting down his glass, he smiled and said, "Yeah, I never imagined the world would change so fast."

"The Manhattan incident really scared me. Believe me, Obi, as long as Jericho succeeds in his research, no matter how many demons there are, they will just be cannon fodder."

“I never doubted it, Tony.”

Obadiah laughed heartily, his voice deep and resonant. After laughing, he clicked his tongue in amazement: "Recently, they executed that former military colonel named William Stryker."

"I never expected those politicians to tacitly approve."

"Do you think Terra will really interfere in the whole world? I've heard that the public opinion on the internet is that they hope Terra will kill all those criminals."

This is the real reason Obadiah came to see Tony.

He became uneasy.

William Stryker's execution and the online sentiment surrounding it deeply troubled him.

He was so uneasy that even though he knew asking Tony wouldn't get him any results, he still came.

Out of fear of Terra.

He had no desire to be tried in Terra's courtroom.

In Obadiah's mind, Terra's courtroom was hell.

"Ha, why would you care about these things, Obi? This isn't like you." Tony looked puzzled.

But inwardly, he was sneering.

He saw the anxiety in Obadiah's heart and knew the reason for it.

"I'm just a little curious. After all, if Terra really does this and reduces so many sinners in the world, I wonder if it will affect the group's stock."

Obadiah laughed it off and made up some excuse.

Tony smiled, just as he was about to say something.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from my ears.

At the same time, Jarvis's voice rang out in the living room.

"Sir, an anomaly detected. Someone is approaching at speeds exceeding Mach 2 in an attempt to initiate..."

Jarvis hadn't finished speaking.

boom!

All that could be heard was the crisp sound of glass shattering and the howling wind.

Chapter 271 Will Tony Stark Still Be Iron Man? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Tony and Obadiah were blown away by the sudden gust of wind, dropping their wine glasses and collapsing onto the sofa.

Fortunately, the strong wind subsided quickly.

The two scrambled to their feet from the sofa, looking towards the balcony with disbelief and confusion, only to see that all the floor-to-ceiling windows there were shattered.

Tony and Obadiah, however, did not pay attention to the glass.

Because a stranger appeared in front of them.

Two people.

The chandelier on the ceiling hadn't gone out because of the strong wind, and under its light, Tony and Obadiah could clearly see the appearance of the newcomer.

A very young man and a very young woman.

My first impression was that they were very tall. The girl was over 1.7 meters tall, perhaps close to 1.8 meters, and the boy was close to 1.9 meters tall. They were very robust and strong, but not bulky.

Most importantly, the girl was surrounded by some kind of suspicious scarlet energy.

The young man and woman's eyes and expressions revealed anger.

It seems to be entirely directed at oneself.

"Sir, the security team has been alerted and is on their way. I have already sent an alert to the NYPD..."

But Jarvis hadn't finished speaking when it changed its tone and said, "I'm sorry, sir, my message was intercepted, and the entire security team has passed out."

"Thank you, Jarvis."

Tony couldn't help but roll his eyes; these were two really great news items.

Perhaps the only hope lies with the MK armor.

However, the MK armor is in the underground parking garage laboratory, and it will take time to put it on.

Will these two uninvited guests give him time?

Or is it that Obadiah can buy him some time?

Tony glanced at Obadiah's bulky figure; for an ordinary person, it should be possible.

He was just glancing at the scarlet energy surrounding the unfriendly-looking girl.

This possibility has been ruled out again.

So Tony spoke up, trying to find out what was going on through conversation: "Hey, if possible, please don't hurt me. I'll agree to anything you ask."

"If all you want is money, we're all rich."

Tony slid down very smoothly.

The main theme is "from the heart".

Just kidding, his life is worth a lot. If it were a kidnapping for money, this would be the best news.

After all, there aren't many people in the world who are richer than him and Obadiah.

If you can spend money to risk your life, it's nothing at all.

Unfortunately, Tony's words had the opposite effect, because the people he was facing were Wanda and Pietro from Sokovia.

"You're very rich?"

Pietro gritted his teeth and remained silent, his eyes filled with even more anger. Wanda spoke, her chilling voice like a biting winter chill sweeping over Tony and Obadiah.

Very good, it's almost finished.

"Sir, we have detected an increase in anger in this lady and gentleman."

"Shut up, Jarvis, we don't need your commentary right now."

Tony's heart skipped a beat. Did Jarvis really need to tell him? Was he blind and couldn't see it?

"OK, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Tony asked cautiously.

Wanda strode forward, with Pietro following behind.

The two walked up to Tony and Obadiah amidst their tense expressions. Wanda looked at Tony; she would never forget that face.

She once considered Tony her enemy.

But things are different now.

Because Wanda knew the truth.

But I still find that face so unpleasant to look at.
