Chapter 35 Ivan Vanko

May 2010, 5, 18 months later, night.

"Oh my god, what is this guy doing?"

Ling Zhan, who was staying at home, happened to turn on the news channel.

There was a huge stage with a large crowd gathered around and cheering.

Standing on the stage was the flamboyant Tony Stark, and behind him was a bunch of sexy dance costumes with steel armor features.

Tony Stark, this guy is the same as always. It would be fine if he didn't participate, but once he did, he would definitely show off and brag about himself in a high-profile manner.

"Stark Industries Expo..."

Li Xing on the side watched with a little interest.

With the help of Ling Zhan, Li Xing successfully moved in.

Since a beautiful lady moved in, he has been feasting his eyes on her and is now more energetic than before. (Don't let your imagination run wild)

But the strange thing is that since the theater battle, Natasha disappeared from Ling Zhan's life, and she did leave an envelope.

Uncle Tom expressed regret for this, but he also welcomed Li Xing's arrival. (Uncle Tom laughed out loud again, a rare moment)

Ling Zhan guessed that Natasha had another mission. After all, his progress here was almost zero while Natasha's was.

Now it’s better, the actions and stuff are much better than before.

"No wonder..."

After listening to the Stark Industries Expo, Ling Zhan finally connected everything together.

Whiplash, "Iron Man 2".

Natasha should be going to investigate everything about Tony Stark.

However, the Black Widow now clearly spent a lot of time with him, so how could she leave an impression in Stark Corporation so that she could run back halfway.

I can only say that SHIELD’s ability to do things is truly amazing.

"you know?"

Ling Zhan said with a smile: "Tony Stark, who doesn't know him? Hahaha."

"I mean you've been in contact with it."

"That's true……"

Ling Zhan briefly told Li Xing what had happened.

“You have quite a lot of experience.”

"By the way, why did you suddenly come to New York?"

"My master has some unfinished business here, and he himself...can't come, so I will handle it on his behalf."

Hearing a hint of sadness in the words, Ling Zhan seemed to know what happened to Li Xing's master.

"This place has been abandoned for a long time. There are no mages or knights here. I just took on the important task of staying here. I have only been here for a few months."

Ling Zhan changed the subject so as not to remind Li Xing of her master's condition again.

"Didn't you report it?"

"There's no contact information, and I can't leave, so this is the only way."

"New York is so big, but there are still Holas hiding and not being found."

Li Xing said instead: "But it doesn't matter, I'm here, and I will contact the Senate when the time comes."

"That's good. I can relax a little later."

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

Not long ago, in a small place in Russia.

Ivan Vanko, whose father had just passed away, was drinking strong liquor and watching Tony Stark's high-profile appearance on TV.

His eyes looked calm, but his hand holding the bottle was shaking slightly.

He took sip after sip and watched the report of Tony Stark finish.

He walked to his father's portrait, stroked it gently, and then went to his basement.

In this confined space, various instruments are placed, and a board is covered with drawings, newspapers, and magazines.

One blueprint stands out in particular.

"Ark Reactor!"

"Stark Industries!"

"Anton Vanko, Howard Stark."

Ivan started working as usual.

He put the things together and then passed electricity into a round container.

A ray of white light, so bright!

Ivan smiled, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and glanced at the magazine...

iron Man!

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

Flushing, Manhattan Island.

Night. (Stark Industries Expo announced)

A man was walking along a lonely road.

This road is lined with street lamps and side chairs, full of ancient texture.

I didn't expect there is such a place in the United States, especially in a place like New York.

The man was wearing a loose white suit, which, combined with his appearance, added a sense of funnyness, making him very suitable to be a comedian.

The cold wind blew over and poured in through his trouser legs, and the man couldn't help but shiver.

He rubbed his hands and blew on them, trying to warm himself.

Stark stole most of the audience today, and he just happened to be fired by his boss.

What's the reason? He couldn't attract customers for so long?

What a joke! He was the one who attracted most of the guests to the amusement park's performances. Is it his fault that there are fewer guests during this period?

Superheroes, yes, it was the appearance of superheroes that ruined him.

Kids, young people, they all love superheroes.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he kicked the lamppost next to him.

"Ouch."

The man stamped his feet and jumped a few times in pain.

He sighed and sat down in his chair, looking up at the light.

Being angry seemed to be of no use, he couldn't beat Tony Stark.

You can’t compete with money, connections, or power.

We are all human beings, why are there such big differences!

This light is dim compared to the neon light.

Today's lamps don't have nearly that thin a light.

But in this dark place, there is a rare light.

After watching it for a long time, it is no worse than LED.

“Do you want to have a job?”

"who!"

The man was startled by the sudden sound behind him and quickly stood up and stepped back.

"Don't be afraid, I can help you."

The man in black in front of the man spoke in a steady voice and could not be seen.

"you?"

"Trust me, I can help you..."

"Really?"

"Give it a try. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything, right?"

"Then...I do."

"Okay, go there, they have what you want, the final decision is up to you."

The man in black showed his pale hand and pointed to the amusement park.

Yes, exactly where men work.

The man also looked in the direction of the man in black. When he turned back, the man in black was gone.

After thinking for a long time, the man found himself standing at the entrance of the amusement park. (It was closed today)

It seemed that his body made the decision for him.

The man walked into the dark amusement park without hesitation.

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

5 month 19 day.

Tony Stark receives a subpoena from the Senate Armed Services Committee.

The seemingly peaceful atmosphere in the parliament was actually filled with tension.

The senator kept trying to use words of justice such as public safety to force Stark to hand over the iron armor.

And Tony Stark was as smooth as a loach, always using light-hearted and humorous words to make them feel frustrated.

"Well...I want to summon Justin Hammer, who is also an arms dealer."

"Yeah, well, I didn't see any weapons experts when I saw Hammer walk in."

In response to Stark's pressure, Hammer laughed twice to hide his anger. Of course, he was used to it.

"Yes, you are. You are a genius, Tony. Your father, Howard Stark, is even more so! He is not only our patriarch, but also the father of modern military industry."

"We know why we are here. A few months ago, Tony Stark forged a sharp sword, but he insisted it was a shield."

Hammer turned to the crowd and said, "He told us to hide behind him and said he could protect us. I really want to believe him. I really want to not have to lock the door when I go out, but we live in a dangerous world, and Mr. Stark cannot predict danger. Thank you, God bless Iron Man, God bless America."

Then, Rhodes, Stark's friend, was also invited. Although Rhodes was a good friend of Stark, he might also sacrifice his own family for the sake of the people.

Therefore, today's parliament is a setup against Stark.

Rhodes now knew what the military wanted to do, and he could only delay as much time as possible.

When an image is projected that defines the Iron Man suit as a dangerous weapon.

Stark knew that he should fight back!

He placed his hand under the table and swiped and tapped a few times on the screen.

Soon, the two screens in the Senate went black.

"I'm so awesome. I took down your screen."

Stark said proudly, although he tried his best to suppress his expression.

"I needed it, and there's something."

On the screen, one side shows North Korea and the other side shows Iran.

The scene shows the robot failing and firing as it falls, affecting other personnel, and the screen is stained with blood.

Justin Hammer also appears in it.
