Rise of an Empire

"Tony, are you okay?"

In a brand new skyscraper in Manhattan, Phoenix looked at Tony Stark who was sitting there staring at the photo, and asked cautiously.

"I'm very good"

Although he was only an eighteen-year-old young man, Tony's voice was like that of an old man who was approaching his twilight years, lifeless and without any vitality.

"Can you please stop being like this and cheer up?" Phoenix stood in front of Tony, grabbed his hands and began to comfort him.

"Aunt Winnie definitely doesn't want to see you like this, so don't condemn yourself like this."

"Faith me now me"

Tony held Phoenix's hand tightly, not knowing what he should say.

If I hadn't deliberately vented my anger on my father, and if I could have communicated with him properly at that time, maybe things wouldn't have happened.

Especially since my father is still dead, a bunch of former so-called relatives and friends have already begun to suggest to him that the board of directors needs to be replaced.

In this world, because of the existence of Conrad and Phoenix, the relationship between Tony Stark and Howard Stark is slightly better than in the previous life, and the father and son will not act like enemies as soon as they meet.

Of course, it is only a slight relaxation. There is always a generational gap between the thoughts of a rebellious teenager and his father. Moreover, both father and son are considered extremely smart people, and there are some differences in opinions and concepts. Naturally, It is inevitable.

Last month, he had a falling out with Howard over a trivial matter. Then Howard, who was almost 70 years old, thought about it and planned to take his wife to travel abroad to relax.

After all, if you face such a traitor at home every day, you might be mad at him one day.

The result.

Howard's car unexpectedly had a car accident on the road, and Howard and Winnie Carter died together.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be nurtured but the parent is not there.

Although this kid Tony has a very high IQ, his behavior is no different from that of an eighteen-year-old boy.

When he quarreled with his father at home, he naturally felt that there was nothing bad about him, but when he really received the bad news, he was also shocked.

After presiding over his parents' funeral with the help of a group of elders, Tony suffered the first trough in his life before he could calm down.

The shareholders of the original Stark Group are now demanding the re-election of the chairman of the board of directors.

Originally, this was a normal operation. Howard Stark was no longer around. For the Stark Group, which had nearly one trillion assets and controlled one-third of the U.S. arms orders, it was naturally impossible for such a huge business empire to be without a person in charge.

It's just that those shareholders don't believe that a young boy like Tony can be a good owner of the Stark Group. Everyone's unanimous idea is to find someone to take charge of the Stark Group, and Tony can just happily become him. The second generation ancestor is healed.

Tony could only bury these words in his heart, even if he faced Phoenix, he couldn't say them out.

The godfather has been missing for seven years, but the Weiting Consortium is still not in chaos at all, and no one dares to make a discordant sound.

Why are the shareholders already impatient even before his father’s body is cold?

Living in the shadow of two men since childhood, Tony would always compare Conrad with his father.

Thinking back to when his godfather disappeared, Tony thought Phoenix would be sad and prepared a basket of words to comfort her.

Who knew that no one in the entire Wettin Manor took the godfather's disappearance seriously? Even when it was discovered that the cruise ship the godfather was traveling on had sunk in the sea and no one survived, no one cared at all.

At that time, Tony really couldn't understand why the godfather's family was so indifferent.

Even his own father showed no reaction to the disappearance of his godfather, and even kept nagging about how that bastard had gone somewhere to play.

"Don't worry, Tony, the Stark Group is yours, no one can take it away."

Although Tony didn't say it, Phoenix already
