The Wizard of the World

Guangzhou, Ten Commandments Building.

With the support of a group of Chinese people, Stan arrived at the top floor of the building and saw a large conference room. At the end of the round glass conference table, a long-haired man was sitting there with his fingers crossed.

"Welcome to China, Mr. Stan."

"Are you Maninda?"

"Sorry, our leader prefers others to call him the Mandarin." The member of the Ten Commandments Gang standing nearby said immediately.

"I can't believe that you speak English so well." Stan pulled up a chair and sat down, and greeted the Mandarin warmly.

"As the Vice President of Stark Industries, I am very curious as to why you came to me this time." The Mandarin asked, twirling the ring on his finger.

"Not long ago, I asked your Ten Commandments gang in Afghanistan to help me get rid of Tony Stark. However, your men failed to complete my commission and not only released Tony Stark. He ran away, but he lost his voice and I couldn't contact him." Stan knocked on the table and said, "That's why I came to you this time. I hope you can help me get rid of this person secretly."

"Tony Stark..." The Mandarin said in deep thought: "I didn't expect that the vice president of Stark Industries would actually entrust a terrorist organization to murder his boss. It's really interesting. It's not impossible for you to ask me to help you. What can you give? remuneration."

"The branch I gave you before was 300 million U.S. dollars. Since you are their leader, I will give you 1000 million U.S. dollars this time. What do you think?" Stan said proudly.

In his impression, China is a very poor and backward country. For people in this country, US$1000 million is enough to keep them happy for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the Mandarin shook his head very indifferently: "Mr. Stan, it seems that you have not brought any sincerity this time. The value of Stark Industries is difficult to estimate, but you are only willing to pay 1000 million US dollars to send me away." To solve your roadblock, do you think Tony Stark is only worth 1000 million US dollars?" The Mandarin asked.

Hearing this, Stan couldn't help but frown, "Then how much do you plan to charge?"

"All of Stark Industries."

boom!

Stan slapped his palms heavily on the table, suppressing the anger in his heart and murmuring word by word: "You are dreaming!"

"No, no, no, this is my asking price, and I believe you will agree." The Mandarin smiled.

"Absolutely impossible!"

As the Mandarin stretched out the ring finger of his left hand and pointed at Stan, circles of pink light patterns immediately flew towards this ambitious guy. Stan had no time to react and was hit in the front by the light patterns.

"You..." Stan swallowed back half of his unfinished words and stood there dumbly, without any reaction at all.

"Stark Industries has always been my company, right Mr. Stan?" the Mandarin asked.

"Correct."

"Since it's my business and I need it now, shouldn't I get it back?"

"Yes."

"Then are you willing to help me?"

"willing."

"Very good." The Mandarin retracted his finger, and Stan immediately woke up from his daze.

"Man, Mr. Mandarin, when do you plan to go to New York to take back

Your business? Stan asked with a smile.

"When you finish preparing things over there, I need a certain amount of Stark Industries shares."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now, and the shares in my hand will be returned to you when the time comes."

"You are very smart Stan. After I take back Stark Industries, I will hand over the position of chairman to you. I believe you will do a better job than Tony Stark."

"Thank you Lord Mandarin, I will not let you down." Stan bowed to Lord Mandarin, turned around and walked out of the conference room. He never imagined that the reality he thought in his heart had been completely changed by Lord Mandarin.

……

There was big news in New York City recently. An armored man of steel defeated a group of criminals who had just robbed a bank vault late at night.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene at the time, the seven criminals fired all the bullets from their AK47s without injuring Iron Man. On the contrary, Iron Man punched out a few punches, and all the criminals fell to the ground, and were subsequently killed. The New York police came to arrest him.

As a result, there was a masked hero in New York City who was secretly eradicating crime and evil. Everyone called him Iron Man.

"Iron Man? To be honest, my armor is not made of steel, it's mixed... Whatever, I like this title anyway." Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Tony took today's first copy from Pepper. A cup of coffee, he said comfortably.

"Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the government? After all, they already have police, and they will definitely not like a mysterious hero like you." Pepper asked gently.

"You haven't seen how slowly the police were dispatched. If I hadn't taken action, these criminals would have escaped long ago."

Ding!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of someone coming up in the elevator. When the elevator door opened, it was Colonel Roddy and Colson who walked out together.

"Oh my god, these are the two people I least expect to see this morning." Tony covered his mouth and said softly to Pepper.

"I can hear Tony, obviously you didn't speak as quietly as you thought." Roddy smiled helplessly.

"Okay, okay, tell me what you two came to see me for. Don't let me guess. I have no interest in guessing the man's riddles." Tony put the newspaper on the table and urged.

"Pepper told me that you have been hiding at home these days and don't know what you are researching. And I investigated through the military and found out that you have recently purchased a lot of precious metals in a private name. Tony, what exactly is that Iron Man?" Is it you?" Roddy asked.

"I have to say, you have a very rich imagination. How could I be Iron Man?" Looking at the scrutinizing expressions on Roddy and Coulson's faces, Tony couldn't last more than three seconds and reluctantly admitted: "Okay. Well, I am Iron Man."

"Tony, what you did last night clearly violated New York's laws and regulations. Citizens are not allowed to punish those criminals on behalf of the state."

"Oh please, I thought the country would thank me. After all, if it weren't for me last night, it would have been impossible for the police to catch the criminal so quickly."

"If everyone thinks like you, then this society will be in chaos. The country only needs a disciplinary department, not a lone hero hiding in the dark to uphold justice. Your approach can only exist in those fictional cities. among."

Seeing the two men arguing, Coulson quickly stopped him and said, "If Mr. Stark is willing to maintain peace, why not join SHIELD? We really need superheroes like you."
