When Valoran meets the hero of American comics

Manic music echoed in the banquet hall, and under the colorful lights, young men and women clinked glasses and bottles. .

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 'Sleepless Night' party!"

A tall figure slowly ascended to the stage, and his speech spread throughout the entire hall through the microphone in front of him.

The music became quieter and quieter, but the party atmosphere became stronger and stronger, especially when the "host" of the party appeared and the cheers reached their peak.

"Stark——, Iron Man——"

The crowd gathered together and shouted noisily. It was obvious that there were not a few Iron Man fans present.

Unlike the "vigilantes" who hide in dark corners and silently fight crime, Iron Man, who is also a superhero, is too high-profile.

In the beginning, Iron Man usually acted at night. After all, what he wanted to destroy was the secret deal between arms companies and terrorists, and most people are used to doing this kind of shady business at night.

Later, with Iron Man's successive attacks, the rampant arms trade began to subside. More and more illegal transactions were hidden in regular businesses in small batches by arms dealers, leaving Iron Man with no chance to take action. reason.

However, as an international metropolis, New York has never lacked desperate thugs.

Although Tony looked down upon those backward weapons, he had to say that they were indeed very lethal to the people.

As a result, more and more actions against crime were carried out by Tony during the day.

Not just to shock.

Tony, the guy who sneaked in at night to pick locks and smashed into stores and snatched bags, really didn't have the time and didn't want to care. The taxes he paid to the police were not for them to sit in the office drinking coffee and reading newspapers.

Only those thugs who commit crimes in downtown areas with heavy firepower during the day will attract Iron Man's action. After all, if they are left unchecked, by the time the police, who are not even equipped with semi-automatic weapons, subdue the thugs, there may be nothing left of the bustling streets. There are not many living people left.

Moreover, Tony has always had reservations about the police's ability to subdue thugs with heavy firepower, and he has never intended to test it with the lives of the people of New York.

This has also led to Iron Man, who has been reported by the media, becoming more and more high-profile, and Tony Stark's popularity has also become higher and higher, making him envious of a group of "people who have to choose to mask themselves to hide their true identity because they are afraid of criminal retaliation." The vigilantes don’t want it.

Nowadays, the receptive people of New York have become accustomed to the red Iron Man flying low over the streets from time to time. Iron Man's popularity is even as high as that of Captain America.

Although due to personality and other reasons, Tony's status and reputation in the hearts of the American people are far inferior to that of Steve Rogers, but among teenagers who like "cool" elements, his number of fans can completely rival that of Captain America.

Especially after Iron Man bombed more than a dozen laboratories researching new armors and exposed their research methods a few days ago, the average age of Tony fan groups has increased significantly, even those who have already entered society and work. Young people also admired his righteous behavior that "even the military followed him".

This can be heard from the loud shouts of "Iron Man" at the scene.

You know, even if the party held by Tony this time did not involve business conversations, the attendees were all executives from large companies and their children, as well as many children from the families of government officials.

Their ages range from about 20 to 45 years old, but even though they are not young and have never experienced the rescue of Iron Man, they are still fans of "Iron Man" and even have more than [-] fans. The trend of idolizing billionaire and genius scientist Tony Stark.

Tony was very happy to hear people shouting.

He is a person who likes to be admired by others. Whether the people off the stage shout "Tony Stark" or "Iron Man", he is full of a sense of accomplishment.

He pressed his hands down to indicate that the crowd gradually became quiet. When Tony was thinking about whether to say something or show off his new uniform specially made for the ball, the crowd that had already been quiet became commotion.

"Oh my God, my dress."

"Ah, help."

……

Standing on the stage, Tony could clearly see that the people who had gathered together were gradually separating to both sides, as if they were being driven away in some way.

In a blink of an eye, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old appeared in front of the crowd. He was obviously the culprit of the commotion just now.

"Kid," Tony, who came back to his senses, pointed to the large champagne bottle hugged by the boy on his chest, which was what allowed him to pass through the crowd so quickly: "That's not suitable for you, although I really want to admit that you have arrived. You’re of an age where you can drink, but the height issues that come with that may make it harder to deal with.”

"Hahaha--"

The crowd roared with laughter, which made Tony even more interested in teasing the other person: "Put it down, kid, maybe you can try Coke and juice. You can talk about drinking later, if you don't want to keep your height at your current height!" "

The boy who is over 1.6 meters tall cannot be considered short according to his age, but who made him wear a suit that is too long to cover his knees? It looks like a naughty child who stole the clothes of the adults in the family to play house. The same game.

What makes Tony even more interesting is that the boy is obviously much more naughty than he thought. An ordinary child would have been made to cry by what he just said under the gaze and laughter of so many people, but the other person not only seemed not to have heard it , still happily holding the bottle and sloshing the wine around the people who just laughed at him.

Pepper Potts was also close to the stage. She was unable to dodge and was splashed with champagne on her chest, causing the underwear under her shirt to stand out.

"Ah... red..."

Tony whistled and joked.

But as he was gloating over his misfortune, he apparently forgot that there was a microphone next to his mouth, so everyone in the hall heard it.

Even though no one except the people around her knew what Tony meant, Pepper was still so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She gritted her teeth and looked at Tony on the stage, as if she would pounce on him at any time. Bite to death.

"Uh……"

Tony, who was stared at by Pepper and had chills running down his spine, moved subconsciously. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the boy who was still attacking others with champagne. He was so angry that he almost smashed the microphone in front of him.

"Do you only know how to bully the weak? Come at me if you have any questions!"

Tony Ma thought of a way to divert Pepper's attention and implemented it. He scolded the boy who was mischievous in front of the crowd and selectively ignored the height of the boy who only reached an adult's chest: "Iron Man will teach you. Why should you keep to yourself!"

Hearing this, the boy stopped shaking the liquid around, turned around, looked at Tony with a smile, and raised the huge champagne bottle in his hand towards him.

"Hahaha, you held it backwards, kid, you will only spill wine all over yourself!"

When he saw the boy grabbing the slender mouth of the bottle and holding the bottle upside down towards him, Tony laughed without caring about the other person's feelings.

He thought this boy was so silly and interesting that he would turn the mouth of the bottle towards himself and the bottom of the bottle towards the "enemy" out of nervousness.

However, Tony's smile soon froze because he suddenly discovered that the bottom of the bottle facing him was not a sealed glass, but a dark muzzle.

Tony, who is also a master of weapon design, subconsciously figured out the structure of this simple weapon. The huge bottle was divided into two parts. The half part still functions as a container for wine, while the lower part It is a modified hand cannon, and the muzzle is the bottom of a normal wine bottle.

Are you kidding? Using glass as a hand cannon, isn't he afraid of exploding the barrel?

But at this time, Tony had no time to consider whether the other party was a lunatic or an extremist who planned to sacrifice his life for his "faith". You must know that the boy was in front of the crowd at this time. Once the gradually blue muzzle exploded, it would be affected by the impact force. The glass shards will fly around, and the power is no less than that of a fired bullet.

The most important thing is that Pepper is next to the stage not far from the boy, and is definitely one of the first targets to be baptized by the "Glass Storm".

"Lie down—"

"Jarvis, release the information transmission blockade, give me your left arm, and go equip Pepper!"

Tony's hoarse roar made the banquet hall buzz, and the continuous rapid shouting even caused a brief lack of oxygen in his brain.

Although the ballroom was newly rented for Tony's party, it was taken over by Jarvis before Stark entered the room.

Tony's order was executed as quickly as possible. When the bottom half of the wine bottle, which had almost completely turned blue, was still accumulating energy for the final release, the red and gold armor flying from behind the stage had already knocked out Pepper. He was fully armed, and the only missing left arm armor was also installed on Tony's body.

With Tony's reminder, as soon as they saw the blue light on the bottom of the wine bottle, people subconsciously followed his instructions and huddled on the ground, without causing more serious riots or stampedes out of panic.

"Tony..."

Pepper, who was protected in the steel suit, not only did not relax because the situation became safer, but instead looked at Tony, who was still standing on the stage with only his left arm armor, sobbing softly.

She didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of affecting Tony's concentration.

She wanted the suit to return to its owner, but Jarvis, who had received Tony's order, could not obey her orders in this regard.
