The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 65 Social Death (Part 2)

Chapter 54

Of course, Peter couldn't let Felicia succeed in her ill-intentioned attempt, so he just rudely let the big cat pack up and leave.

So much so that when Felicia climbed through the window, she was still cursing and calling Peter ruthless.

Peter shook his head, "Calculate the time, Tony's side is about the same, right?"

Stark Tower.

Tony looked at the messy hall after the party.

Just like in the original version, he stole the show at the recent hearing, severely embarrassing the military and Hammer Industries.

But at the same time, he finally couldn't bear it and had a big fight with Rhodes who was wearing steel armor at the party... and gave him a armor by default.

Pepper walked over and looked at Tony at this moment, feeling indescribably complicated.

She was angry at the ridiculous things done by the billionaires in front of her, and at the same time, she felt a little distressed.

In an accident, she learned about Tony's palladium poisoning. Naturally, she couldn't help but worry about her boss. At the same time, she also didn't understand.

Since the palladium poisoning was caused by the steel suit, wouldn’t it be fine as long as you don’t wear it?

She still doesn't quite understand what Iron Man means to Tony.

This also led to a quarrel between her and Tony, and she even proposed to leave her job at one point.

But she didn't leave after all.

How should I put it... Even though Tony is ridiculous, after taking care of Tony for so many years, she can't let go.

When Tony saw Pepper, he cheered up and cursed: "Damn it, that guy Rhodes... don't think I can forgive him."

Then ask:

"Pepper, how does it feel to be CEO of Stark Industries during this time?"

"Of course it's not an easy thing, especially with a boss like you." Of course Pepper said angrily.

"Haha." Tony laughed dryly and said, "Since you are tired, why not take a vacation."

This made Pepper a little stunned, "What? What kind of holiday!?"

"Aren't you tired? I think even a CEO should take a vacation for himself sometimes, right? Let me think about it...it only takes a month."

Tony started talking to himself,

"Go to Europe, go to the Cipuani Hotel in Venice, remember? We have been there, it is a good vacation place..."

"Tony!" Pepper finally interrupted him unbearably and asked:

"Are you really going to be buried in that steel armor?"

Tony fell silent.

He said: "I am Iron Man. It is impossible for me to give up the armor. That would be equivalent to giving up myself."

"But, you are really going to die, Tony."

"Actually, it's not that there is no way out." Tony turned on the holographic projection, and information about the serum and biological armor appeared inside.

"But the condition is that I have to turn into a green monster, or a madman with a second personality in his head. You know, Pepper, I can't accept it, and it's not my way."

Tony stood up and looked at Pepper, "In the last period of time, I want to spend it with you, Pepper."

"Spend time with...with me?" Pepper was confused for a moment and couldn't believe her ears.

"Please, why me? In your plan, isn't there a birthday party and a World Expo of your own..."

"None of that matters!"

Perhaps because he knew that his death was imminent, Tony was a little overwhelmed and directly expressed the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time and were always contradictory:

"I just want to be with you now."

"Do you know what you're talking about? Tony." Pepper's eyes widened and she confirmed.

"Of course." Tony spread his hands and said self-deprecatingly:

"I gave away everything I had. Rhodes, he will inherit my steel armor and become Iron Man in my place. It doesn't matter what kind of steel it is. He will inherit my iron will to survive."

"Peter Parker! He is a very smart boy... Considering my short lifespan, I reluctantly admit that he may not be inferior to me, or even surpass me."

"I gave him my wisdom and put all the scientific and technological information on the computer. As for how much he can learn during this period, it's up to him. Anyway, I can't teach him step by step."

"As for the last thing..." Tony looked back at Pepper. She was so stunned by Tony's words that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

"I will hand over Stark Industries to you, Pepper. You will complete the unfinished business for me...completely transform Stark into a clean energy company to benefit mankind."

"No, this is crazy."

"Crazy, yes, I like this word. In this way, I will die without regrets."

Tony stretched out his hand in front of him and snapped his fingers.

"I am...Iron Man!"

Tony admitted that if he was not about to die, he would not say these words and do these actions.

This is enough to kill him for a lifetime!

But... his life is coming to an end anyway, so who cares!

"So, can we go on vacation now?" he asked.

Pepper agreed.

Faced with Tony's disgusting confession and the most expensive confession gift in the world, she had no ability to refuse.

Perhaps because he finally spoke out his inner thoughts, Tony felt relieved. At this moment, Jarvis suddenly informed him,

"Sir, I think you'd better go to Peter Parker's laboratory now."

"Oh? What's wrong with him?" Tony was in a good mood and said:

"Since I'm going to die, I won't blame him no matter what he breaks."

"Um...sir, he didn't break anything."

"What happened?"

"You'll understand if you go and see for yourself. Peter said he wanted to give you a surprise."

"Well, it's interesting that you are hesitant today, Jarvis."

Tony didn't think much and went straight to the laboratory.

There was a model of his father's Howard World's Fair placed in the laboratory. He just glanced at it and didn't think much about it.

After all, the task he gave Peter was also the World Expo.

"Boy, Jarvis said you had a surprise for me? I hope you can really surprise me."

"Um...I'm not sure, Mr. Stark. I just found an interesting new thing."

"The most interesting thing now is my vacation with Pepper. Come on, show me." Tony said nonchalantly.

"good."

Peter waved his hand, and the holographic projection directly projected the entire World Expo model, then dismantled it, reassembled it, and finally formed a spherical object.

"Mr. Stark, I discovered this by observing your father's World Expo model. I was a little curious, so I gave it a try."

"...Okay, you kid really brought me a surprise." Tony looked at the holographic projection ball in Peter's hand.

He knows what's going on, so he can naturally see that this is a new elemental structure, a structure that has never been seen before.

Of course, although he was surprised, that was all.

Although this can be said to be a breakthrough discovery of the times, the characteristics and functions of the new element are still unknown, and he will only know it after inspection and deduction.

Instead, he was even more puzzled as to why his irresponsible father's World Expo model could be assembled into something like this.

Therefore, Tony quickly turned around and ordered Jarvis to take over the laboratory and start testing. Peter also stepped aside and watched him perform.

At first, Tony's expression was quite normal, with a hint of surprise, curiosity, and a hint of excitement.

But as Jarvis tested and analyzed, his expression began to become serious, and he watched attentively.

Until finally, when all the data came out, Tony sat on the chair with his eyes wide open, feeling confused for the first time.

Jarvis said bluntly: "Sir, after testing, this new element seems to be able to..."

"Stop talking!" Tony interrupted Jarvis' report with a wave of his hand.

He wiped his face heavily with his hand and said, "I really want to die now."
