Chapter 48 Lucas Goes Mad
When Tony Stark pulled up in his luxury Audi R8 in front of the InterContinental Hotel, it was already completely dark.
He then entered the hotel under the protection of two bodyguards.
"Oh my god! It's Mr. Stark! I can't believe he's here!"
When Tony Stark appeared in the hotel lobby, many people in the hall gasped in surprise.
Stark Pictures manager Ryan Archer and director Louis rushed to greet them.
"Mr. Stark, what brings you here?"
Both men were caught off guard by Tony Stark's unannounced arrival, and neither was prepared to receive him.
"It's nothing, I just came to take a look."
Tony Stark smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping across the room, and he quickly spotted Rosalie and Mark standing not far away.
He didn't care about Rosalie, his gaze only sweeping over her.
In his view, she was no different from those vulgar women who wanted to use him to climb the social ladder.
But when Tony Stark saw Mark, he felt inexplicably nervous.
He noticed that Mark had the same dark brown hair and blue eyes as him, and his expression tightened even more.
"Impossible, it must be fake! How could I suddenly be pregnant?"
He wanted to tell himself that this couldn't be true.
But the connection and excitement between him and Mark, stemming from blood ties, was undeniable.
“Uh, Mr. Stark, this way please…”
Noticing that Tony Stark seemed a little uneasy, Ryan and Louis thought they hadn't been hospitable enough and quickly and warmly invited him to the center of the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Tony Stark, the owner of Stark Industries and the investor in the film 'John Wick'! Let's give Mr. Stark a warm round of applause!"
Louis introduced Tony Stark to everyone in a warm and enthusiastic voice.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Oh! Welcome, Mr. Stark!"
"..."
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.
Rosalie and Mark, who were not far away, were clapping along with the others around them, without showing any unusual expression.
Over the years, Rosalie has long since come to regard Tony Stark as a stranger.
Now that they meet again, she no longer feels resentment or other emotions, and feels very peaceful.
Some people in the hall glanced at Tony Stark one moment, and then secretly observed Rosalie and her son Mark the next.
They seemed to want to confirm whether the relationship between the two sides was really as rumored.
Adele, the female lead, rushed forward excitedly and gave Tony Stark a warm hug: "Oh, dear Tony! Did you come here suddenly to surprise me?"
Tony Stark looked at Adela and felt she looked familiar, knowing she must be another woman he had once spent a night with.
He replied casually, "Of course, dear Helena, I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
"Ugh, I'm Adele!"
Adela playfully punched Tony Stark in the chest, feigning displeasure.
"Uh... of course I know you're Adela. I was just joking."
Tony Stark smiled and changed the subject.
"That bitch!"
Not far away, Lucas watched Adela throw herself into Tony Stark's arms and was instantly consumed by jealousy.
He had been pursuing Adèle relentlessly for the past few months while filming on set.
But the other party acted very aloof, with an air of purity and indifference, and never gave him any attention.
However, when she saw Tony Stark, Adèle was incredibly enthusiastic, almost wanting to climb into his bed.
Those who previously touted Lucas as the next Stallone in Hollywood are now all focused on Tony Stark and have stopped paying attention to him.
All of this fueled Lucas's resentment towards Tony Stark, but he dared not show it.
Stark Industries is a Hollywood giant; Tony Stark could make him unable to work in the industry with just a single word.
Lucas could only suppress his anger. He snatched a wine glass from the waiter's tray and drank it down one glass after another to drown his sorrows.
But the anger in his heart was not extinguished by the alcohol; instead, it burned even brighter.
"Whoosh..."
Lucas was panting heavily.
His veins bulged, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his reason was gradually slipping away.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Mark keenly heard Lucas's heavy breathing amidst the cacophony of noise in the hall.
The panting sound didn't seem like something a human could make; it sounded more like a wild beast about to erupt in anger.
He turned his head to look in the direction the sound came from and saw Lucas with his head down and his shoulders heaving.
At this moment, a male actor next to Lucas seemed to notice his unusual behavior.
"Lucas, what's wrong?"
He stepped forward and patted Lucas on the shoulder, wanting to ask him something.
But Lucas's body temperature had risen to an unbelievable level, making him feel like he was burning up!
The actor couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, why are you so hot!"
At this moment, Lucas finally raised his head, revealing his blood-red eyes that had completely lost their minds.
"Roar!"
He let out a beastly roar and punched the actor next to him hard in the chest.
"boom!"
The actor was thrown off the ground by a powerful force, flying more than ten meters away before crashing into a long dining table.
"Splash!"
Buffet plates and wine glasses fell to the floor, and the sound of shattering glass echoed throughout the hall.
"what happened?"
"It looks like a fight is breaking out over there!"
"..."
Everyone turned around in surprise and looked at Lucas.
At this point, Lucas had completely descended into madness.
Without pausing, he kicked the nearest waiter away, then continued his attack on the people around him.
"Hey Lucas, what are you doing!"
"Help! Lucas's gone mad!"
"..."
The people around panicked and scattered in all directions, turning the entire hall into chaos.
"Mom, let's move away!"
Even before Lucas made a move, Mark had already sensed something was wrong and decisively pulled Rosalie away.
Mark felt a little relieved after retreating outside the hall.
What's wrong with Lucas?
Rosalie looked at the chaotic hall with some lingering fear.
By this time, Lucas had seriously injured more than ten people, and the others were all fleeing out of the hall in a panic.
He then seemed to notice Tony Stark hurriedly leaving, escorted by two bodyguards.
Pale-faced Adela was holding up the hem of her dress, following closely beside the other person.
Chapter 49 Mark Makes His Move
"Roar!"
Lucas let out a beastly roar at Tony Stark and chased after him without hesitation.
Even though he had lost his mind, his hatred for Tony Stark did not diminish in the slightest.
"Stop him!"
The two bodyguards following Tony Stark changed their expressions immediately upon seeing Lucas rushing towards them and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
They handed their weapons to the security guards at the entrance when they entered the hotel, and now they have no choice but to fight the enemy empty-handed.
Although Lucas's displayed strength was somewhat terrifying, the two bodyguards were retired Navy SEALs, and they believed they could hold out for a while, buying Tony Stark time to retreat.
The two worked together seamlessly, flanking Lucas as he charged in from the left and right.
One man punched him in the throat, while another punched him in the back of the head.
"Bang! Bang!"
Lucas didn't know how to dodge and took two punches head-on.
If an ordinary person is struck in such a vital spot, even if they don't die, they will immediately fall to the ground unconscious.
But Lucas acted as if nothing had happened, and bumped his head into the chest of the bodyguard on his left.
"boom!"
The bodyguard was struck as if by a charging bull; his sternum shattered instantly, and his body was thrown seven or eight meters away.
Lucas then threw another punch, sending another bodyguard flying several meters away, where he lay motionless on the ground.
Lucas continued his pursuit of Tony Stark with almost no pause in his steps.
"what!"
When Adela turned around and saw this scene, she screamed in terror.
"This guy has his eye on Tony Stark!"
Mark, who saw this scene from outside, couldn't help but frown.
Today was the first time he had met Tony Stark, and of course, there was no fatherly affection between him and his biological father.
But when Mark was kidnapped by mutants in New York, Tony Stark had Jarvis rescue him, and Mark had to accept that favor.
Logically and emotionally, Mark couldn't possibly stand idly by while Tony Stark was in danger.
He turned to look at the two security guards standing not far behind him at the hotel entrance.
Both security guards were armed and should pose a threat to Lucas.
But by the time they rushed into the hotel lobby to rescue the people, it was clearly too late.
"It seems I'll have to take action myself this time!"
Mark made a decision quickly.
He is not a reckless person.
Based on his observations, Mark realized that Lucas's strength was far inferior to his own.
Moreover, Mark's super physique is an all-around enhancement of his body, including his skin, bones, muscles, and internal organs... He has no weaknesses at all, which is something Lucas can't compare to.
Mark only makes a move when he is absolutely certain of victory.
