Chapter 106 The ultimatum from Wenwu
Another two days passed.
The last roots of Hydra on Earth were also wiped out by the Men in Black.
It's not just the "obvious" forces.
Even the deeply hidden artificial intelligence Zora, and those scattered around the world trying to revive the source of Hydra, the "Hive".
They were all found by Leon and beheaded by the girls.
Now if Leon used his super hearing again, at least he couldn't hear the real Hydra plotting loudly.
Although there are still many people who claim to be Hydra and use it to do bad things.
But the superheroes that these people are benchmarking against are the local police, so Leon doesn't need to worry about them.
As of now, Hydra has been completely destroyed.
Leon and Tony get their revenge.
They broke the murderous knife, cut off the murderer's head, and buried all the anger in the ground along with the Hydra's body.
It was drizzling in Los Angeles that day.
Tony and Leon held long black umbrellas and stood side by side in front of the Howards' graves.
The two of them placed a bouquet of white flowers next to the tombstone in sync.
After a long silence, they wiped the words on the tombstones and left the cemetery together.
Tony couldn't remember the last time he came to visit the graves.
Lyon comes here every year.
He could understand Tony.
Looking at the tombstones of Mr. and Mrs. Howard, Tony always felt guilty and angry with himself, thinking that he was not worthy of standing there.
But Tony has been very calm today.
Leon felt that what he said before was right.
Tony really did grow up suddenly this year.
Looking back from Tony's perspective, he has experienced so much in the past seven months of the first half of the year.
Escaped from death in Afghanistan.
After returning home, he was betrayed by his uncle Obadiah.
Then he single-handedly dealt with the Ten Commandments Gang in the Middle East.
He also saved a different world that was nearly destroyed by his younger brother, and became Superman by the way.
Later, he finally understood his father Howard's true feelings for him.
Finally, the mastermind behind the murder of his parents, Hydra, was destroyed.
Tony's past thirty-eight years combined are definitely not as colorful as the experiences he has had in the past six months.
He truly faced himself in various events, found what he wanted to do, and gained peace of mind.
Put it in a movie.
That is, his character arc has been established.
The story can now come to a perfect end.
The ending theme and credits for the behind-the-scenes crew can now be released.
"I decided to develop the Avengers. What about you? What do you plan to do next?" Tony asked Leon as the two left.
“I’ve said it before.” Leon’s tone was casual, but his goal was clear, “Become stronger, keep getting stronger, and enjoy the process of becoming stronger.”
He slightly opened his umbrella and looked up at the center of the sky. Billions of raindrops fell into his eyes from there, like all living beings in the world.
"I want to see the highest scenery, have a dialogue with the One Above All Things, chat with the First Sky, and even Eternity should call me friend, and the Transcendents should call me buddy."
Leon continued to move forward: "This is my ultimate dream."
"Huh?" Tony was confused. "Who are you talking about?"
……
A few days later, Leon packed his backpack and prepared to leave New York.
He has arranged everything and is about to embark on his journey to Kamar-Taj.
The main task of the men in black now is to take over the major Hydra bases.
And some of the innocent children and "experimental materials" who were kidnapped in the base were sent back to their respective families.
This alone would keep them busy for a month or two.
And Shirley is almost becoming the biological daughter of Natasha and her sister. With the two sisters taking care of her, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
On the corporate side, Natasha manages the Internet company in an orderly manner.
The superhero operating company that Yelena is in charge of is also thriving.
Ever since the news spread that the Man in Black is affiliated with Superman.
The super-English company run by them has obtained green light permission from all countries in all fields.
Hundreds of company branches were successfully rolled out.
In the past, other companies around the world would take advantage of the difficulty of cross-border rights protection.
To sell pirated Iron Man and Superman peripherals.
But now all these pirated copies have disappeared.
The Chaoying Company is the only one left on the market that is still selling peripheral products of the two Chaoyings.
I heard that Yelena is planning to make a "Superman vs. Iron Man" movie to hype up the IP.
Even Tony got involved as a half-screenwriter.
The main content of the movie is that Iron Man invented Kryptonite to defeat Superman due to a misunderstanding.
At the most critical moment of the battle between the two, Superman was defeated by Iron Man due to Kryptonite, and he cried out the name of his mother Maria in a trance.
Yet Iron Man's mother is also called that name.
This made him realize that Superman was also a living ordinary person.
So the two of them immediately put aside their differences and formed the Avengers together.
When Lyon saw the script, he could hardly control his distorted facial expression and immediately sent it back for rewrite.
Speaking of Tony.
Leon was really worried about this guy.
The deadline agreed upon by the Ten Rings Gang is approaching.
Calculating the time, it should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
So before leaving, Leon flew back to his seaside mansion in Los Angeles to see what the situation was like.
But when he walked into the Stark mansion.
From the door to the living room, the floor was littered with masked corpses.
Tony was sitting in the middle of the pile of corpses, opening a beige letter and reading it, his expression normal.
"Tony, have you been... attacked again?"
Leon could tell at a glance that the people on the ground had died in hand-to-hand combat.
There was a man with great strength who shattered their internal organs with his fists.
The scene was horrific.
"The deaths of these people were too tragic. It looked like you hired a few of them to kill before the duel to practice..."
"Have you finally decided to give up the armor and return to the name of Kinnikuman? Are you going to fight with Wenwu with your fists?"
"It's Iron Man!" Tony rolled his eyes and stood up, "I will defeat Wenwu with my latest armor!"
He handed the letter to Leon and said, "I was in an online meeting when these people broke in. They attacked directly, but it turned out that they were here to deliver a message."
Lyon takes a quick look.
Dear Mr. Tony Stark:
Today is the last day of our appointment.
I have heard of your name a lot recently.
Now thinking about it, it would be an honor for me to take your head.
Out of respect for what you have contributed to the world.
I allow you to choose your own burial place.
I will come on time at three o'clock in the afternoon to take you on your way.
Signature: Wenwu]
"At least he used honorifics this time and his tone wasn't condescending anymore. Even though he still threatened to take my head, it's at least an improvement." Tony shrugged.
Leon destroyed the letter casually: "I thought he said a month was 31 days, but it turned out to be 30 days, and it was calculated from the night I attacked you."
"But he's obviously not very well-informed and still doesn't understand the relationship between Superman and the Man of Steel."
Now, among the top leaders of various countries, many have guessed that Superman’s true identity is Leon Stark.
Otherwise, Tony wouldn't have become the director of the "New S.H.I.E.L.D." so easily.
To be honest, those people were really relieved after discovering Leon's true identity.
Compared to a civilian Superman like Clark Kent.
They would rather accept Leon Stark.
Because the Stark family is the top vested interest group.
It is basically impossible for them to overturn the world order without warning just because they have greater power and authority.
Just treat it as a more exaggerated eagle sauce on your head, and live your life as usual from now on.
However, this civil servant was unlucky.
Historically, he was also an invincible figure in Asia.
But since he found true love in Kunlun Daluo Village more than ten years ago and lived in seclusion with his wife.
His former network of influence fell apart.
It was not until his wife died that he, feeling disheartened, once again "returned as the Dragon King".
But it is difficult to reproduce the former glory in just a few years.
It is understandable that we were unable to learn more inside information about the Hydra incident in a timely manner.
"Maybe he's not afraid of Superman at all?"
Tony likes to challenge masters. Only when the enemy is strong enough can he appear more powerful.
He waved his hand, and Mark 4 immediately flew out of the cabin and attached himself to the body.
"Let's go and wait for him at the place where you tested your strength last time. It's far from the city and suitable for fighting."
"Oh, right, 'three quarters after noon' should mean twelve o'clock noon, am I right?"
