There seems to be something wrong with my tenant

Howard Stark watched the vehicles parked under the building, and after the one he sent to pick up came into view, he sat back again.

If it wasn't for the sudden New York that would arouse Maria's suspicion, he almost flew to Boston himself to ask the person in charge of Apartment 413 where he hid his son!

Whether it is as the helm of Stark Industries or as some undisclosed identities, Howard is very busy.

His time seems to never be enough. Part of it is divided into work, part of it is divided into the laboratory, and part of it is divided into wrangling with some government agencies...

Naturally, Howard spends so little time with his family that he is stingy.

As his wife, Maria was often by his side, and the couple spent quite a lot of time together.But Tony, his only son - Howard himself had to admit that he didn't put much energy and time on Tony.

Thinking of his son in the rebellious period, Howard couldn't help frowning.

To ensure Tony's safety, he secretly dispatched many protection personnel.And on his son's mobile phone and belongings, Howard deliberately and quietly installed a special tracking locator-for this reason, Maria also laughed and said that his desire for control has reached a new height.

Howard felt that this was all necessary.Not to mention anything else, just because of his status as the heir of Stark Industries, Tony is surrounded by many well-prepared guys.

Just like the fact that Tony moved out not long ago-Howard was a little bit aggrieved, he was the first to find out, but Maria said that he didn't care about Tony, and didn't even call to ask about the situation!

Howard thought that after telling Maria, his wife would naturally make proper arrangements for his son's situation, and he did encounter some emergencies and couldn't get away...

Who knew that it was only a few days of delay, but Tony's location information went wrong!

Howard, who was still in the meeting, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the designated signal on his watch.The red light flashes at a fixed frequency, which means that all positioning information has been accidentally changed at the same time.

There is no need to repeat what happened afterwards. Howard used many means to finally confirm that Tony's disappearance was related to his landlord.

Apartment 413 and the landlord seemed to appear out of nowhere. Although there were traces of everything in the past, there was no one who could really prove it.

Howard didn't want to startle the scene, but the people he arranged to investigate the situation told him that there was nothing unusual near apartment 413.

The only thing that was a little strange was another tenant who went out with Tony. They could neither find any trace of the other party, nor could they find out the true identity of Tony's friend...

Howard had to suspect that it was a conspiracy against him.

Whether Samuel was Hydra or someone else, Howard had to meet this guy himself—for Tony's safety, the sooner the better.

***

After stepping into the Stark Tower, Samuel followed the secretary quietly, adhering to the principle of watching more and talking less.

He quietly looked at the modern office space, and unexpectedly found that the layout of the building was similar to Tony's apartment.

Samuel thought to himself, just looking at this aesthetic orientation, Tony and Howard are really father and son.

Before and after bringing him to Stark's office, the secretary left consciously.The sensor door opened, and Samuel first saw a messy desk, followed by a chair with its back facing him.

As the chair turned, a charming man's face appeared in Samuel's sight.

The moment he saw the other party, Samuel felt that the other party was very familiar.Then he realized that Tony's brown eyes were almost carved out of the same mold as the Mr. Stark in front of him - but Tony was not as sharp as his father's eyes.

Howard Stark is not considered young anymore, but perhaps because of proper maintenance, he is still handsome.

The richest man in the United States did not put on any airs. He smiled at Samuel, which was not very friendly, but he also showed his friendly attitude.

"Mr. House, hello."

"Oh, Mr. Stark, hello. Actually, you can call me Samuel directly, you don't have to be so polite."

"Okay, Samuel—I hope you don't feel restrained, just call me Howard."

While talking, Howard got up and motioned Samuel to sit with him on the sofa beside him.

Samuel noticed something flashing in the opponent's hand sharply, but he didn't care, and just sat down beside Howard calmly.

"Samuel, in fact, I have only one purpose for coming to you today, and that is for my useless son."

Samuel had a polite yet awkward smile on his face.

Almost immediately after hearing this, he recalled a few "little experiments" Tony had performed on it, which 413 had relayed to him.If it wasn't for 413's immediate decision to break away from the possessed state, maybe it would have been caught by Tony's attempt.

Thinking in his heart, "I think your son is very good at making big things, how could he be a failure?" On the surface, Samuel still didn't respond.

He couldn't take it.

Howard didn't care whether Samuel answered, he flipped his palms and showed Samuel the screen he had been staring at just now.

"This is..." Samuel was puzzled by this.

Howard scrutinized Samuel's performance from beginning to end.From the time he entered the door until now, Howard has not seen anything wrong with the other party.

He looked at Samuel without any trace, and said in a low tone: "This is Tony's positioning information."

"Location information?" Samuel was a little surprised for a moment, "You still put this kind of thing on your son?"

He instantly understood why Howard didn't express anything before, and he was secretly observing his son's latest situation from the beginning to the end of his relationship!

Seeing his reaction, Howard couldn't be sure for a moment whether Samuel's acting skills were too good, or whether it really had nothing to do with Tony's disappearance.

Click on the history record that was interrupted not long ago on the screen, and a whole page of bright red warning messages covered the screen.

Samuel: ...Wait, I seem to know something.

After seeing Tony's abnormal positioning, Samuel finally realized the real purpose of Howard's coming to him.

Silly boy, where do they need you to take care of their son, they ask you for a son.

Samuel guiltily avoided Howard's probing eyes, but he didn't know that this actually confirmed Howard's guess.

Howard stared: "Samuel, do you know where Tony is now?"

Although Howard had been acting calmly, Samuel could still hear the anger implied in the other party's words at this time.

He hurriedly put aside the relationship to show his innocence: "Mr. Stark, don't get me wrong! I know Tony's whereabouts, he's fine, just..."

Samuel said with difficulty: "I just went out to play with my friends."

Howard sneered: "Going to play with friends?"

Even if Howard didn't say it clearly, Samuel knew what the other party meant: Can my son play with his friends until the location disappears?

Seeing that the other party clearly did not believe what he said, Samuel also knew that his statement was full of doubts, so he had to raise his hands in surrender: "Mr. Stark, I really don't lie to you. I know where Tony is, but that place may The signal is not very good..."

Seeing Howard's expression became more and more ugly, Samuel wisely shut up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly called 413, "Hurry up! Hurry up! It's an emergency, life is at stake!"

It went online in 413 seconds, and I was still a little upset: "I'm seeing the hero and heroine vying for the male supporting role..."

Not caring about making complaints about 413 and watching some weird plots, Samuel hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to contact Tony now?"

413 simply said: "Yes, it's fine if you just make a wish."

Samuel's eyes lit up, and he silently made a wish in his heart, "I wish to be able to contact Tony Stark."

Thinking of 413's latest payment method, Samuel reluctantly added, "Pay in currency."

[Wish fulfilled. 】

There was no time to see how much money 413 deducted. Before Howard broke out, Samuel quickly dialed Tony's number and put the phone in Howard's hand.

"Your son's phone number!"

Just when the phone was picked up, Tony's somewhat distorted voice came clearly: "Hello? Samuel?"

Howard froze.
