In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality

Yesterday was Tony's birthday party.

But he was depressed to find that... for some reason, a large number of celebrities suddenly came to the banquet he had originally held in a low-key manner. Out of basic courtesy, he had to drag his tired body to greet them.

At the party, Tony was not in a good mood, so after dancing with Pepper, he went aside to drink a cocktail. Unexpectedly, a female reporter named Christine came up to him and handed him a photo.

Originally, Tony was not very fond of this former friend of weapons, but unexpectedly, the female reporter told him that the person shown in the photo was Comilla.

However, the photo shows a large area of ​​ruins after the bombing, with corpses everywhere. In addition, almost all the weapons used in the photo are products of Stark Industries.

Moreover, Tony is very familiar with the word "Comilla" because Comilla is Ethan's home. After being rescued, Ethan did not choose to accept Tony's mansion and sports car, but chose to return to his hometown of Comilla for reconstruction.

A few days ago, Tony was still in contact with Ethan, but in these few days, he found that he could no longer contact Ethan...

At this point, even a fool would know that Ethan must have met with an accident.

After that, Tony went to Obadiah to question him, and he got only one answer, that is, Obadiah personally issued a restraining order against him, under the euphemism of "protection".

Now, Tony couldn't help but suspect that the culprit behind all this was the uncle who watched him grow up.

(The protagonist's butterfly effect, the plot has changed, and it is not written according to the original plot)

Therefore, Tony, who was angry but still smart, asked Pepper Potts to go to Obadiah's office to check the information, but he didn't expect to be caught by Obadiah.

So, after Pepper left, Obadiah went straight to Tony's villa.

Of course, Tony didn't know what was happening at this time and was still perfecting the "Mark III" in the basement.

"Jarvis, pull up the latest design drawings."

Tony spoke to the air while rubbing his still aching back.

"Okay, sir."

Jarvis' voice rang out, and then a holographic projection appeared in front of Tony, showing the detailed design of the battle suit that combined the three colors of gold, red and silver.

"The problem of ice formation at high altitudes could be solved ... maybe by applying a special coating to the outer layer or installing a de-icing system."

"..."

"Jarvis? I'm asking you a question."

"Sir, Obadiah Stan is here for a visit."

Jarvis' voice echoed in the room.

"Why is he coming here at this time?"

Tony frowned upon hearing this sudden news.

He gave me a cold look yesterday... He definitely didn't come to ask about my well-being. Could it be that... Pepper was discovered?

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed, but Tony didn't want to fall out with Obadiah just yet, so he put on a suit and walked into the front hall with a smile on his face.

"Let him in."

Tony said, sitting up straighter on the couch.

A moment later, Obadiah walked in.

His bald head shone in the sunlight, and the kind smile that always appeared on his face was gone, replaced by a cold expression that Tony had never seen before.

"Hey, Stan."

Tony greeted casually and waved the glass in his hand.

"Would you like something to drink? Good stuff just shipped from Scotland."

Obadiah didn't answer, but slowly approached. His eyes made Tony feel a little uneasy, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Just at this time, Tony received a call from Pepper.

Without hesitation, Tony picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

At the same time, Obadiah quickly pressed a button.

Then Tony's cell phone emitted a sharp sound wave vibration of unknown frequency, which paralyzed Tony's whole body, as if countless needles pierced his nerves at the same time, and his face was densely covered with dark green veins.

He instantly lost control of his body and collapsed on the sofa.

"You know what, Tony?"

Helping Tony's stiff body to the back of the sofa, Obadiah finally spoke, his voice low, as if a devil was whispering in his ear.

"Breathe~Relax..."

"You know what Tony...I was with your father when he started this company."

"I know... you have been an important pillar of the company."

Tony spoke incoherently due to being paralyzed.

"pillar?"

Obadiah sneered, and this laugh contained too many emotions that Tony could not understand - resentment, jealousy, and anger.

"The pillar? No, Tony. I've always been the shadow, the one pulling the strings. And you, you're just enjoying the spotlight, basking in the false glory your father left behind."

"But why...why did you do this?"

Tony struggled to squeeze out these words, each word seemed to drain all his strength.

Obadiah looked down at the paralyzed Tony, his eyes flashing with ambition and resentment, his expression twisted, as if years of disguise had finally been peeled off at this moment.

"Why? Because you've wasted the potential of Stark Industries, Tony. You have such powerful technology, but you're thinking about peace? What this world needs is power and control!"

Tony tried to stay awake, his brain working rapidly. He finally realized that the man in front of him had been pretending all along.

Including the attack he suffered in Afghanistan, it was most likely the work of this good uncle.

"You are wrong... Weapons will only bring more death and destruction... We have the responsibility to change all this..."

"That's your problem, Tony."

Obadiah sneered, his tone full of contempt for Tony's naivety.

"You are too idealistic. In this world, only the strong can survive. And I will make Stark Industries the most powerful! Your peace theory will only make us lose our market and influence."

As he spoke, Obadiah reached out and touched the Ark reactor on Tony's chest, with a greedy light flashing in his eyes.

"Ah, your 'heart'... What a remarkable invention, Tony. When I sent people to kill you, I was worried about losing a golden goose that lays eggs... Unexpectedly, you left a legacy for me."

"Well, the time for talking is over, Tony. Now it's time for action. You are just a threat, an obstacle that needs to be removed."

Obadiah pulled out a mechanical device and slowly removed the reactor from Tony's chest, admiring the blue-glowing energy source in his hand.

The energy link was disconnected, and Tony instantly felt his life slipping away quickly, and breathing became increasingly difficult. His vision began to blur, and his consciousness gradually faded.

"Don't worry, I'll make good use of it."

Obadiah turned and walked towards the door, and the sound of his footsteps sounded like the knell of death to Tony's ears.

"Goodbye, Tony. I'll tell everyone that the great Tony Stark died in an accident... What a sad story, isn't it?"

The door slammed shut, leaving Tony, dying, lying alone in the luxurious living room.

Ironically, he is trapped in his wealth and achievements, but unable to save himself. He once thought that money and technology could solve all problems, but at this moment, these have become meaningless.

Tony's breathing became more and more rapid. Obadiah's face was torn apart... Then Pepper must still be in his hands. With his ruthless methods, Pepper will surely be...

"No...it can't end like this..."

Tony shouted in his heart, then climbed up with all his strength and moved towards the assembly table, but he found that with his current strength, there seemed to be still some distance to go.

Three meters... is like a natural moat.

There, was the birthday present that Pepper gave him, a reframed first-generation miniature Ark Reactor.

But... as his eyelids drooped, Tony, who was lying on the ground, found that he couldn't seem to reach the stage... his thoughts also became slow...

Dying?

But... I'm really unwilling...

"Squeak—"

A cute, faint mechanical sound suddenly came from beside Tony... It was actually BenBen, the mechanical arm that always made him angry and complained about it, and at this moment, it was holding his reactor in its claws.

"Very good... I have decided to take back my decision to send you to Imperial University for free."

"Fortunately... this glass is not made in the East..."

"boom!"

As he said this, Tony poured all his strength into his hands, grabbed the glass box and threw it to the ground.

Meanwhile, on the other side of New York.

With Pierce's avoidance, Jonathan also met the famous Hulk "licker" - General Ross.
