Chapter 144 I! Iron Man! I'm so poor that I only have money left

Tony stared at Rhodes, his heart filled with confusion and puzzlement.

He regarded Rhodes as his closest friend, but at this moment, he could not understand why Rhodes would stand against him and stop him from helping his friend Chen Ye.

He stood there, looking determinedly at Rhodes, trying to understand why his best friend would stop him from doing what he knew was right.

"Tony, you know I won't stop you without reason." Rhodes' voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed an unquestionable firmness. "But this time, I can't let you go."

Tony frowned, he didn't understand why Rhodes said that.

He thought Chen Ye was his good friend and he needed his help.

He couldn't sit idly by and let Chen Ye and the people of Hell's Kitchen face the federal government's attack alone.

"Why? Chen Ye is my friend and he needs help now!" Tony's voice was full of confusion.

There was a determined light in his eyes, as if they were about to burn.

"Don't talk to me about that bullshit federal government. I don't care and I'm not afraid. If you still consider me a friend, don't stop me!" Tony shouted angrily.

He was a little emotional, but his words revealed his cherishment of friendship and his deep affection for Chen Ye.

In Tony's opinion, the reason why Chen Ye came into conflict with SHIELD was due to his own reasons.

He felt very guilty about his responsibility to Chen Ye and the people of Hell's Kitchen.

He has been trying to find a solution to the problem these days, mobilizing all the resources and connections of the Stark Group to try to resolve the crisis in Hell's Kitchen.

However, the results he got disappointed him.

The federal government seems determined to eradicate Hell's Kitchen, and Tony is unwilling to compromise no matter how much it costs.

He never gave up until the war came. He felt that now was the time to help Chen Ye and the others.

He didn't expect that someone would stop him.

Moreover, this person is his good friend Rhodes.

This made Tony even more confused and angry.

He didn't understand why Rhodes would stand against him and stop him from doing what he thought was right.

Rhodes looked at Tony, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

He took a deep breath and began to explain his position: "You should know that you are different from Chen Ye. Stark Group has a long-term cooperative relationship with the federal government and even the military.

These relationships have brought Stark Industries a large number of orders and profits, and also provided the federal government and the military with necessary technical support.

If you show up in Hell's Kitchen now, it means that your Stark Group has broken with the federal government and the military, and Stark Industries will face huge losses.

A large number of citizens will be unemployed. Is this the result you want to see?"

After Rhodes said this, he looked at Tony expectantly, hoping that he would not be impulsive.

However, how could someone as smart as Tony not know these things? He didn't care. He was very confident in his scientific research ability.

The federal government had better not purchase goods from Stark Industries, since it has already cancelled its weapons research and development department anyway.

As long as Tony is here, Stark Industries will be here!

He quickly pressed down the visor of Iron Man's helmet and said, "I am going to help Hell's Kitchen as Tony, Iron Man, not as Tony, Stark Industries."

His words were full of power, as if declaring his position to the whole world.

He is not the chairman of Stark Industries, nor is he the playboy Tony in the eyes of the world.

But as Chen Ye's friend and as Iron Man Tony, he decided to help the people of Hell's Kitchen.

As soon as Tony finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and rushed towards Hell's Kitchen like an arrow.

In the night sky, his figure drew a bright arc, like a meteor breaking through the dark sky.

However, what Tony did not expect was that he did not reach his destination smoothly.

There was a flash of dazzling light, and Rhodes's steel armor suddenly appeared in his sight, blasting towards him without warning.

Tony was knocked to the ground by this powerful force, and his whole body rolled on the ground for several times before he barely stopped.

Tony, lying on the ground, had shock and disbelief in his eyes.

He slowly got up and looked at Rhodes in front of him, his tone full of anger and confusion: "You actually wore the armor I gave you to stop me?"

Rhodes looked at Tony, his eyes full of helplessness.

He explained: "There is no other way. I cannot watch you take Stark Industries to Hell's Kitchen. Besides, it is a military order to stop you."

After hearing this, Tony felt sad.

He looked at Rhodes with disappointment, and couldn't help thinking that if it were Chen Ye, he might choose to disobey military orders to help him.

Thinking of this, Tony shook his head slightly.

"I still prefer to be friends with Chen Ye and his gang. There are no conflicts of interest. Chen Ye doesn't have any conflicts of position except for being greedy for money."

Tony thought bitterly in his heart. Tony didn't think that Chen Ye's desire for money was a bad habit. On the contrary, Chen Ye just wanted money. It was such a simple request. How could he not satisfy it?

Compared with Chen Ye's help to him, he also saved his life and helped him find the real murderer who killed his parents.

And because of him, they are at war with the federal government. Money is not an excessive request. What a kind and pure person!

He is so poor that he only has money left!

Tony looked up at Rhodes, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he couldn't give up just like that, and he had to do his best to help the people in Hell's Kitchen and Chen Ye and the others.

The voice said firmly: "Then try to stop me. Don't forget that your armor was given to you by me."

After saying that, Tony said no more. He accelerated and flew out, followed closely by Rhodes. The battle between the two was about to break out.

At this moment, they are no longer friends, but opponents.

Relying on his better-performing Iron Man suit and his greater familiarity with it, Tony quickly gained the upper hand in the battle.

He dodged Rhodes' attacks flexibly while constantly launching counterattacks.

Every attack made Rhodes feel a little tired, and he had to admit that Tony did have extraordinary talent and skills in fighting.

However, Tony knew that now was not the time to defeat Rhodes, and he had to quickly support Hell's Kitchen and Chen Ye and the others.

After hitting Rhodes again, Tony sped away without hesitation, leaving Rhodes helpless.

Rhodes looked at Tony's receding back, feeling mixed emotions.

He understood his helplessness and predicament because he was always being monitored and could not act as he wished.

He could only sigh helplessly: "It's not that I didn't stop it, but I couldn't beat Tony."

However, Tony had no time to care about Rhodes' feelings. At this moment, he was flying at full speed to Hell's Kitchen to support his good friend Chen Ye.
