The Godfather of American Comics

Christmas, early morning, Weller's house

"Wow! There really is a gift!"

Following Little Hope's excited screams, Little Hope ran downstairs screaming like a little madman holding two toys.

"Ah! Dad! Look! The toy Santa Claus gave me!"

Hope rushed into the kitchen and jumped excitedly in front of Weller.

Weller smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Santa Claus thinks you are a good boy."

"Yeah! Hope is the best!"

Little Hope nodded happily, trotted out of the kitchen, and saw Tony sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, displaying his gift in front of Tony as if he was offering a treasure.

Children are always like this. When they are happy, they want to share their happiness with everyone.

Tony nodded, but whispered in a low voice: "It's so unfair. It was obviously a gift prepared by me, but all the credit was given to the old man with a white beard who climbed the chimney."

"what are you saying?"

Little Hope looked at Tony suspiciously.

Tony raised his eyebrows and was about to tell Little Hope the cruel truth that 'there is no Santa Claus' when his body suddenly became cold.

Looking back, he saw Weller staring at him with two breakfasts in his hands.

Threats of death…

Tony twitched the corner of his mouth, hurriedly pulled out a smile, and made a haha.

"I said you were great! Hope!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tony felt the coldness that enveloped his body disappear and quietly let out a breath.

"Ding, ding!"

At this time, Tony's cell phone rang.

For an unfamiliar number, Tony would subconsciously deduct it.

"Come on."

Weller said calmly, "This is your new number. Not many people know it. Maybe it's good news."

Tony was stunned for a moment and rubbed the mustache on his lips: "That's right."

After answering the phone, Tony's expression was stunned at first, and then a smile slowly appeared. Finally, it was as if he was about to ascend to heaven, and his whole person looked extremely relaxed.

Hope looked at Tony and tugged on Weller's clothes: "Dad, did Uncle Tony... take a dump?"

"Haha!" Weller laughed out loud: "Why do you say that?"

"I remember...Uncle Kingpin would make this look after he went to the bathroom."

Little Hope nodded firmly while recalling: "Uncle Tony just pooped."

"shit?"

Tony hung up the phone, his face darkened, but remembering the message on the phone, he happily picked up little Hope, spun around twice, kissed little Hope's face hard, and said, "I received it. What a great birthday gift!”

"Is it from Santa Claus?"

Little Hope's eyes widened and she looked at Tony's pocket: "Where is it? What gift is it? I want to see it too!"

"Ha ha!"

Tony put down Little Hope, pointed to his head, and said happily: "Here."

Little Hope was stunned for a moment, then turned to Weller and said, "Dad, let's open his head."

Tony: "..."

He said that Santa Claus is not a good thing.

"Stop it."

Weller gently touched Hope's head. Little Hope stuck out his tongue, picked up the tableware on the side, stood on tiptoes and began to place the tableware.

"It's S.H.I.E.L.D."

Tony grinned and said to Weller.

"After all this time, they finally found the evidence?"

Weller's expression was very calm.

"Correct."

Tony grinned and said, "They have found conclusive evidence, and the mysterious force that has been blocking it has disappeared."

disappear?

I'm afraid that if I continue to stop him, SHIELD will find some traces and then disappear.

S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly stepped up its investigation, which may have something to do with Tony's actions during this period and the emergence of the Iron Suit.

"Then congratulations."

Weller smiled.

Now that there is evidence, Obadiah, who has been jumping around, can't escape, and Tony can get everything back.

According to SHIELD's usual behavior, arrangements may have been made to prevent any accidents from happening to Obadiah when he was arrested.

Tony bent down and smiled at little Hope and said, "I can take you to play outside! I have a better laboratory."

"awesome!"

Little Hope cheered.

So when you say outside, you mean the laboratory outside?

The corners of Weller's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say to these two people.

"Quick, finish eating and let's go!"

Tony put little Hope on the chair. He hadn't gone out for such a long time and felt like he was no longer himself.

Now that SHIELD has started taking action, it means that his charges have been cancelled, but they have not been announced yet. Although he will attract attention if he goes outside, the police have no reason to arrest him.

……

Stark Industries, Obadiah's office.

The secretary, who was voluptuous and wealthy, opened the door to Obadiah's office with a panicked expression.

"Sir, someone is looking for you. They said they are from SHIELD."

"Who? SHIELD?"

Obadiah looked solemn, stood up suddenly, and said to his secretary: "Tell them I'm not here!"

The secretary nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Obadiah knocked on the table and his face became very ugly.

He had a bad feeling.

"No, you have to get out of here!"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left the office.

But when he passed the personal elevator and came downstairs, two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents wearing black suits with no expression on their faces stopped him.

"Mr. Obadiah, we are from SHIELD and we need your help in investigating some matters."

The two of them took out their IDs while talking.

Obadiah frowned and said, "I don't have time, I still have a lot of things to do."

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and snorted: "You guys are just wasting my time."

The two members of SHIELD reached out to stop Obadiah and grabbed Obadiah's shoulders.

Obadiah's expression changed, he took two steps back, and shouted to the security guard in the hall: "Come here, there are two people here looking for trouble, get them out!"

Hearing this, several security guards rushed over.

The two agents took out their weapons, pointed them at the security guards, and said sternly: "SHIELD is on duty!"

The security guards were startled.

What is SHIELD?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Obadiah broke away from the two agents and ran wildly outside.

"Damn!"

The two agents cursed angrily and chased after him.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

Watching Obadiah drive away, the two agents called for help and drove after him.

"Damn, damn! What happened? How did they find out! Damn SHIELD! Damn Tony Stark!"

Obadiah slapped the steering wheel frantically, and the car ran rampant on the road like a wild beast.

There was madness in his eyes, and he made a crazy decision in his heart.

"Tony! Why can't you die quietly?"

"You forced me!"
