Marvel's Mulgore Inn

Chapter 88 Rejecting the Avengers

Tony Stark is in a very good mood tonight.

Academically, he finally found a genius scholar with whom he could talk freely.

Geniuses often die of loneliness. Fortunately, he met Bruce Banner.

Another thing that made him feel at ease was that the problem of palladium poisoning, which had plagued him for a long time and was about to become a nightmare, was greatly relieved after the diagnosis and treatment by Cows.

It was really hard for him to believe that just a piece of bread reduced the toxins that had spread to his neck to an unbelievable level.And after lunch, Cous took him back to the Mulgore Inn, and took out a bottle of emerald green stuff...

"Drink, Tony Stark, this is your destiny!"

Stark remembered very clearly that when he put the medicine bottle in front of him, an impulse came out of nowhere, and he almost snatched the medicine bottle.Then Kaus lowered his head slightly in a strange way, suppressed his voice, and then said such a puzzling sentence.

As if by accident, Tony Stark turned his head and glanced at Carrie on the sofa, and then said something that he found unbelievable: "But, Cows, what is the price?"

"This... oh shit!"

He saw Kous raised his head, his eyes gleamed with a strange look, and his tone became extremely dignified.

But the next moment, Cows jumped up like an electric shock.

Because Erica came from the aisle with a fire axe, and there seemed to be black spots of blood (rust) on the ax blade.Wearily, she threw the ax on the counter, within two feet of Cowes.

"I'm exhausted. I should hire a housekeeping company to clean the building next door."

At the moment when Cows jumped up, Stark seemed to have a vague sense of loss, because a sentence that was very suitable for him suddenly popped up in his head.

"—Iron Man will never be a slave!"

So he drank the bottle of potion, and then secretly kept this sentence in his heart, maybe it will come in handy sometime in the future.

The effect of [Moon Kiss Antidote] is very good. Stark feels his body has regained his youth. The poisoned black lines on his chest have disappeared completely, except for a few invisible black lines beside the reactor. .

"It seems to be recovering well now, but if you don't solve the problem of palladium element, sooner or later it will continue or even relapse or even spread-of course, I still have at least three to four methods to delay your toxicity, so you still have enough Time to find a substitute for palladium."

Stark's emotions have been in an extremely unstable state before. The most important reason is that he doesn't know how long he can last. When the toxicity spreads to his brain, his life will also come to an end.

But this time, Cows gave him reassurance—as long as he had enough time, he would be able to find a new element to replace palladium sooner or later.

Back in the building, Stark was about to take off his armor, but at the next moment, his movements stopped suddenly.

"Tony, your vigilance is too poor!"

Under the dim light, coupled with the night vision goggles of the Mark Armor, he could only see a dark thing sitting on the sofa.It wasn't until the black shadow opened its mouth to speak that it saw two rows of white teeth.

"Oh, hell, teeth can talk!"

The only superpower Nick Fury possesses is the ability to hide in the dark. Even if he stands like a stake in the night for two hours, no one will notice.

"I think you should add more defensive traps in your laboratory, instead of relying on passwords, fingerprint locks, retinas or... anything else!" Fury came out of the dark with his black windbreaker on, "Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"Excuse me, but maybe I've had a little too much to drink and I've been a little deranged—do I see a blindfold, or an eye?"

Stark ordered the smart butler to turn on the lighting system in the room, and then saw a one-eyed marinated egg with a dark body appearing in front of him.

Natasha walked in from the door wearing tights.

"Natasha?" Stark's gaze shifted from Fury to Natasha, "You're fired!"

"Re-acquaint yourself, Tony!" Fury patted Natasha on the shoulder, "Agent Natasha Romanoff, for your safety, we have to do this!"

"My safety?" Stark walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of Campari, "Who am I? I'm Iron Man! I don't need anyone to protect my safety, Iron Man will never... compromise!"

He abruptly swallowed "being a slave" and changed it to a less tragic wording.Because he felt that the word seemed to be used inappropriately here.

Natasha stepped forward to take the bottle and poured half a glass for Stark, "Drink less, alcohol is not good for palladium poisoning!"

"We brought you lithium dioxide, which can reduce the damage of palladium poisoning!" Fury took out a small box from the pocket of his windbreaker and put it on the table, looking at Stark's neck curiously, "But you seem to have Found other ways to mitigate poisoning?"

"Yes, it works! In the meantime, I'm rushing to experiment with combinations of elements to find new alternatives to palladium—don't stand up, I think we can sit down and have a drink!"

The atmosphere eased, and the three sat down at the table. Fury tentatively asked: "Tony, who delayed the metal poisoning for you? As far as I know..."

"I'm not going to bother you!" Stark shrugged. "Mr. Director, I don't think you came here just for palladium poisoning. If there are more important things, it's better to talk openly."

"Okay! I came here this time to invite you to join a superhero team to deal with more and more supernatural phenomena."

In the original timeline, Stark declined the offer without hesitation.But this time, he hesitated.

He thought of the monstrously large Vampire Duke.

For a long time, he thought that he could solve all the troubles with his ingenuity, and in fact he did most of them.Whether it was the kidnapping case in Afghanistan, or the Ten Rings Gang and the military attack, he handled it perfectly.

However, he has seen the weird spells of Kaus with his own eyes, and he was once ignored by the Duke of Vampires. The Mark armor couldn't even catch the Duke's claws—the anti-vampire armor has been tested for a long time, and it still has no effect. To achieve the perfect effect in his mind.

"Who are the current candidates?"

Natasha put a document on the table, and when Stark opened it, except for the blank on the first page, the second page was his name.

"I'm still a little knowledgeable..." Stark's mouth twitched slightly, and he was very satisfied with the other party's attention.

But the name on the third page surprised him a little, but he was acceptable.

The Hulk - Bruce Banner!

"Well, it makes sense!"

"Ant-Man Jonathan Pym?" Stark frowned. He knew this man's reputation, but he didn't think he could get along well with Pym.

The following Black Widow, Hawkeye, Mockingbird... are all unknown agents.

The room was quiet save for Stark's rustling of files.

He turned to the last page, but there was no name he wanted to see. He smiled noncommittally, and pushed the document back.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

"Don't rush to refuse, you have enough time to think about this issue."

Fury glanced at Natasha, Natasha nodded, and put a suitcase on the table, "This is your father's relic. By the way, he is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D."

After finishing speaking, ignoring Stark who was in shock, the two quickly left the room.
