The Death Knell

Lu Dan walked out of the church with the two unlucky guys, and saw Tony, who was drunk and holding a wine bottle at the door of the church. He stopped, frowned and thought for a moment, but still sighed and said nothing, just like a ball of darkness. Cloud left.

Howard protected Tony very well. This kid didn't know the existence of SHIELD at all, so even if he wanted to have a showdown with him, it would be best not to do so today.

Today is the funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, so I'd better give the deceased some face.

Besides, Tony is not showing his due value now. Fury thinks it is more appropriate to let him grow up first and then make full use of it.

The most critical question now is, how to overthrow the leader who came from the air and take that position himself?

It would be best if there was some incident that could prove to everyone that the new guy was not suitable for SHIELD at all. Then he could secretly mobilize many people to go on strike in protest and use political means to seize power.

Not to mention what Fury was thinking along the way, let’s talk about what Tony was thinking.

He just looks drunk. As a person who has been in a wine vat since he was a child, his alcohol resistance is extremely high. Maybe his steps are a little wandering now and his eyes are a little blurry, but his mind is very clear.

His parents died on the way to meet Cassandra's parents, why?

Because someone wants to kill Howard, simple as that.

Jarvis brought back relics from the scene, including one of Howard's tie buttons and his mother's platinum jewelry, which were all scorched black.

Tony got the relic and did various tests overnight. Later, he heard Jarvis describe the scene. He knew that his parents were murdered and it was not an accident.

The car was burned until only the skeleton was left, and no bones of the parents were left. Residues of chemical accelerants after burning were detected on the two relics. It was obvious.

So who wants to kill Howard?

Naturally, the Jesper family are competitors, and only they know the agreed time and place, so they can set a trap to kill their parents.

It was all because of him. He cried and shouted that he wanted to marry Cassandra, so his parents went to meet the other person's family. In order to show their sincerity, they didn't even bring bodyguards.

As a result... my family is sincere, but the other party is not.

I killed my parents.

He clearly knew that Cassandra was a honeypot, but he still naively thought that the relationship between the two parties could be restored. As a result... he was deceived by the woman's family. His father was right all along, and their family was a terrorist.

But thinking that Howard was right again made Tony even more angry. He had been right since childhood, so couldn't he be right once?

However, Tony suddenly realized that he would never be able to argue with his father again, and a great sadness completely swept over him.

My father is gone, right or wrong no longer matters...

Tony sniffed, raised his head and poured strong alcohol into his throat. He wanted to cry but couldn't. The hatred and coldness in his heart for the Jasper family completely occupied all his thoughts. He probably even froze his tears. in mind.

The family killed their parents, and Jasper Enterprises also reported that the Jasper couple were also dead, but Jarvis called to ask, but they could not produce evidence to prove that the Jasper couple were killed.

He had tie buttons and jewelry to prove it, but the other party had nothing, so Tony thought everything was a lie.

That family of conspirators was acting out again, just like the scene where they were assassinated by Hydra. They were not dead at all. They must have killed their parents and hid somewhere.

But Tony will not let them go. He wants to avenge his parents, Jasper Industries and Hydra.

The first step is to resolve the inheritance issue, take over as chairman of Stark Industries, completely defeat Jasper Industries internationally through business and political means, and then find them out and kill them for revenge.

Wilson Enterprises has always been a business ally. Although Tony doesn't know much about business, it's too late to start learning now. Maybe it's time to visit Mr. Wilson's widow, who is now the controller of the powerful consortium.

As for Cassandra...it's impossible, he, Tony Stark, is not low enough to marry an enemy.

He was sober, and the relationship was over. He really couldn't bring himself to kill her, but she was also an indirect murderer, so it was best not to see her again.

At this moment, he heard some noise outside and came back to his senses.

I saw a row of stretch cars parked on the road in front of the church. Teams of bodyguards blocked the scene and stopped reporters holding various camera equipment. Only then did the bodyguard open the door of one of the cars, and a woman walked out.

She was very young and looked to be in her early twenties. She was wearing a long black dress and a top hat. With an amazing momentum, she approached the church step by step like a queen under the protection of female bodyguards. She was here to attend the funeral.

She walked not far from Tony and stopped, looking at him with her lake-blue eyes.

"Tony Stark?"

"Yes, miss, you are?" Tony rubbed his face and stood up. He didn't remember having such a relative in his family.

The visitor smiled and actually reached out to touch the top of Tony's head. She was taller than Tony:

"It's Madam. My child, I just look young, but I'm actually older than your mother."

"ha?"

Tony couldn't believe it, but no one would make such a joke to him at his parents' funeral.

The woman shook her head and pulled Tony towards the church. She was so strong that even Tony couldn't resist: "Don't be surprised. I am Qin Wilson, the current chairman of Wilson Enterprises. You can call me Aunt Qin."

"Uh... Aunt Qin?" Tony felt very awkward. She looked too young.

"Yes, Tony, our family has always been close to yours, and I am deeply saddened by what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Howard. However, Tony, the matter is obviously not over, do you understand? The death of your parents is not like an accident."

Gin pulled Tony to the empty coffin and put the flowers in his hand. Jarvis, who was standing beside him, bowed to her. She nodded in response and kept whispering to Tony.

Tony gritted his teeth: "I understand."

"It's good to understand. It will make it easier for us to talk next. Tony, I came to attend the funeral and negotiate terms with you." Gin pulled Tony to sit down at the pew and got to the point.

.............................

"Fake, this is different from what we agreed." Howard struggled in a door on the second floor, but he was tightly grabbed by Su Ming and couldn't break free at all: "It's not like we agreed that you wouldn't and Did Tony get in touch?"

"I didn't." Su Ming covered Howard's mouth with an innocent look: "Am I not always by your side?"

"Uh-huh!"

Howard's eyes widened, which meant that if you let Gin come in contact, what's the difference between letting Gin come in contact with it yourself?

Su Ming curled her lips. Gin was indeed a little too excited. She shouldn't let Howard see it. She should contact Tony later, at least after Howard was sent to Hawaii by herself.

However, she heard that today was Howard's fake death show, so she wanted to watch the fun and compare the previous funerals to see which one was better.

From the current point of view, the funeral of his family was the most honorable. After all, Howard only relied on Jarvis to manage it, which was a little bit worse.

"I'm doing this for Tony's own good. Think about it, you and Maria are both dead, and you have no relatives. If the company has any problems, Jarvis won't be able to give him any business advice. What do you expect?" Will Tony go ask Obadiah?”

Su Ming explained with sincerity. Regardless of whether Howard believed it or not, he believed it himself.

"Uh-huh!"

What Howard meant was that there was nothing wrong with Obadiah. He was also very good at doing business. In the years since he had been the director, a lot of business had been done by Obadiah.

Although he couldn't speak, Su Ming saw these words in his eyes.

"Are you short-sighted? Obadiah's surname is Stan, and his surname is not Stark. Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of Tony and turn him into a puppet who can only do scientific research?"

Su Ming looked at Howard with a disdainful look, as if it was the first time he found him so stupid.

Howard's eyes opened: "Uh-huh!"

This is to say that it is impossible. Obaday is his best friend and will never attack Tony.

Su Ming understood, and he found that he really had some language talent.

"You don't believe it, right? Then let's wait and see. Don't beg me when Tony is about to be played to death. I'll put the conditions here first. If you want me to save Tony in the future, you have to help me build history. Go to Kelly Jay’s underground fortifications.”

"Hmm? Huh?" Howard asked where Skellige was?

Su Ming smiled lightly and watched Gin drag Tony away downstairs: "Skellige, that's a good place, but it's not in our world. Okay, I've finished watching my own funeral, so come with me. Maria and your in-laws are still waiting for you in Hawaii."

"Hmm!" This meant no, he wanted to see Tony again.

But how can his little arms and legs compete with Strangler? In an instant, he was jumped out of the window and flew into the sky.

............................

"Bah!"

The two landed on the beach, and Howard spit out the sand in his mouth angrily. When the death knell was about to come, he let go of his mouth, and ended up eating a mouthful of sand.

The black and yellow armor transformed into a simple Hawaiian shirt and shorts. He stepped on flip-flops and walked towards the cabin next to the beach.

Pushing the door open, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper were chatting with Erskine and Tesla in the room.

Seeing the death knell coming back, the two of them stood up in fear.

As for why they were arranged for euthanasia here, it was because Howard wanted to be a good person through the "Perish Together" plan. He learned something from Tony and wanted to see if he could reconcile with his enemies if he left the complex society. possible.

As for whether it is possible for these two people to escape? Su Ming was not worried at all.

If they could bypass the spider web's warning and escape from under Tesla's armor, it might be possible.

But Tesla is Marvel's version of The Flash. In this era, no one can outrun him in controlling lightning.
