Chapter 1046 Shocking the Ordinary People (Twenty-Three)

"You...how could you..." Stark's eyes were red. He hugged Maria, patted her back and said, "Didn't you die in the car accident?"

Seeing Maria crying and unable to speak a complete sentence, Howard had to step forward and explain, "Your doctor friend Schiller has explained everything to us. In short, your technology and energy have developed to the point of making a deal with the god of death, and then you paid some price to bring us back."

When he said this, Howard frowned and said, "Tony, I don't want to talk about such a disappointing topic just after we met again, but I think it's totally not worth it!"

"Humans are born, grow old, get sick and die. Spending a lot of money to bring us back will only affect your own life."

At this time, Maria finally recovered. She slowly pushed Tony away and said, "Little Tony, can mommy be alive again? It's great to see you for the first time. On the way here, I have already discussed with Howard that we will come to see you and then go back. You really don't need to revive us..." After that, she held Tony's face with some distress and said, "You must have paid a lot of price to snatch people from the hands of the god of death, right? You don't have to do this for us. Your father and I have completed our own careers. Facts have proved that you are living a good life, and we have no regrets..." Howard stepped forward and said in an irresistible tone: "Okay, okay, we have nothing to say, send us back quickly, what if the god of death charges by the hour, wouldn't it be a big loss? ! " Stark covered his forehead. Howard really didn't change at all. If the biggest difference between him and Howard is to say that Howard is really the most shrewd businessman in the world, the kind who will lose anything if he can't pick it up on the road. Howard frowned, looked at his son and said, "How did you negotiate the deal with the God of Death? What payment method did you choose? Is there any penalty?"

"Uh... I didn't make a deal with the God of Death..." Stark could only deny it. He said, "The God of Death you are talking about is actually the Goddess of Death. I haven't seen her either. It's my friend Schiller..."

Maria immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "But on the way here, the doctor named Schiller told us that he was just a middleman. He came to pick us up because he has the ability to travel between the human world and the underworld."

Stark opened his mouth and immediately understood Schiller's intention. Any parent hopes that their love for their children can be responded to by their children.

Although Howard and Maria objected on the surface, they still felt very relieved when they said that Stark spent a lot of money to get them back from the hands of the God of Death, because this was a manifestation of Stark's love for them.

At the same time, Howard and Maria actually felt guilty. After all, their death was too sudden at the time. After resurrection, they also thought about whether Tony would feel resentful because they abandoned him.

But the psychiatrist answered their doubts. Their son not only did not hate them, but was willing to spend a lot of money to revive them. Being a parent, this is the highest achievement.

Thinking of this, Maria began to cry again and said, "Little Tony, don't blame your father. At that time, we had no other choice. Everyone was pressing us step by step. If we didn't die, they would definitely attack you..."

Howard's eyes were also a little red. He pursed his lips, and the muscles in his mouth kept twitching, showing some anger again. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked at Stark and asked, "Those damn beasts didn't force you anymore? They won't still have plans for the Stark Group, right?!"

Speaking of this, he seemed a little anxious. He said, "Where is Obadiah? With him, you shouldn't be bullied , No, I have to ask what the current situation of Stark Group is like... "

"Howard! Howard!" Maria shouted, "What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree..."

"But I can't let that group of people succeed!" Howard panted and said, "They dared to hand over the technology I gave them to Hydra? ! And it also implicated Sergeant Barnes! God, Steve must be very sad, no, I have to go and apologize to them..."

After speaking, Howard was about to go out, but at this time, Steve hurriedly pushed the door in. When he saw Howard, his eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed forward and hugged Howard.

"Howard! I can actually see you again? ! This is amazing! Schiller must have paid a great price!" Steve said with a sob.

Howard looked at him anxiously and asked, "How is Sergeant Barnes? Did Hydra abuse him?"

After that, he stamped his feet in annoyance and said, "I should have been more decisive at the beginning. If I don't retreat, I won't retreat at all. Compromising with them is the stupidest decision I have made in my life!"

Steve was a little confused. Howard lowered his head and said in a low tone, "I took the information with me to transfer in order to lure the snake out of its hole. If they can kill me, they will never get the technology. If they can't kill me, I have a reason to turn against them."

"No matter what, it's better than a slow death, but I underestimated their shamelessness. They actually joined forces with Hydra!"

"When I saw Sergeant Barnes's mechanical arm, I knew that they had been working with Hydra for a long time. Otherwise, how could the technology I gave them not long ago land directly in Hydra's hands?!"

"I will never admit my mistake!" Howard said in a firm tone: "They said they wanted this technology to provide prosthetic limbs for those disabled soldiers, but what happened? They turned Sergeant Barnes, the most determined patriotic soldier, into a killing machine!"

After Howard finished speaking, he could only stand there gasping for breath, as if he was so angry that he was incoherent.

What he said reminded Stark, who was standing aside, of Connors.

He thought that if the technology Howard handed over was really used on disabled soldiers, then perhaps Connors would not have turned into a lizard and broke into Stark Tower. All this was karma and retribution.

At this time, Stark finally recovered from his shock and said, "Howard, Maria, in fact, the person who snatched you back from the hands of the god of death was not me, but Schiller Rodriguez."

"He designed a series of plans to make humans from scratch and qualified to negotiate with the god of death. He even created a paradise where humans can be resurrected. Although the number of places is limited, it has also saved countless talented people."

"Schiller is a real miracle man." Stark took a deep breath and said, "But he can resurrect you, and he must have paid a price we can't imagine..."

But at this time, Maria and Howard looked at each other, walked up, stroked Stark's face, and said, "You know what? Tony, this fact is more than what you are willing to pay "It's a great price to revive us, which makes us even happier."

"Because you have gained the most precious friendship, one of your friends is willing to pay such a great price for you, just so that you don't feel sad about the death of your parents anymore..."

Stark lowered his head and showed a moving expression. His voice became a little hoarse, as if he was on the verge of choking. He said: "I have always known that Schiller is my friend, but I didn't know that he was willing to pay so much for me..."

"It may be difficult for you to understand how much wisdom, energy and price humans need to negotiate with such regular existence in order to gain an advantage over them." Stark's voice began to tremble more and more.

"Of course I know." Howard stepped forward, patted Stark on the shoulder and said, "All negotiations in this world are the same. People without bargaining chips can only become prey and be slaughtered. It is difficult to turn the tables."

"And every individual human being is smaller than an ant and more meaningless than a grain of sand to the god of death. In such an extremely unequal situation, negotiation skills are useless. Maybe even if you add up all your wealth, he won't even look at you."

Howard raised his eyes, looked into Stark's brown eyes, and said, "It seems that you have had many legendary adventures over the years. Can you tell me about them?"

Stark even felt that he had heard it wrong. He never thought that there would be a day when Howard would listen to his story. Obviously, many years ago, Howard was telling stories in a wild and unrestrained way, and he often passed out drunk before he finished half of the story.

Stark opened his mouth to speak. He had too many things to say, but there was another more important thing standing in front of these stories. Stark took a deep breath, tried to restrain his boundless sensibility, and then said: "The story can be told later. I have to go see Schiller now."

"Just before you returned, Schiller's mental illness relapsed due to excessive mental stress and fatigue. Although I don't know what price he paid, I must make sure that this price will not make his condition worse."

Howard was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Maria. Stark immediately noticed something and asked: "You just said that Schiller brought you here. How is he doing?"

"Tony, you really should care more about your friends." Maria shook her head and said, "Your father and I don't quite understand the soul he talked about. Things like that, I can only say that he looks very tired, and there is a deep wound on his neck, which looks like it has not healed completely. "

"Tony, I remember that Stark Group also has medical business. Didn't you let him be hospitalized for treatment?" Maria frowned slightly, looking like a statue of the Virgin Mary full of kindness and worry. She said: "The condition of the wound doesn't look very good, but at that time, your father and I were worried that there was something else, so we didn't dare to ask."

Stark immediately became a little anxious. He turned to Steve and said: "You should not mind chatting with your old friend for a while. I'm going to find Schiller..."

Steve opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he would go too, but it would not be good to leave Howard here, so he stepped forward and said to Howard: "A lot of things have happened in recent decades, and you may not be able to adapt to it. "

Howard raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you think I am you? I am the genius Stark, more talented than the one who just left. Is there anything I can't adapt to?"

Steve shrugged, and then said, "Okay, aren't you worried about Bucky's situation? Let's go, let's go see him, take the bus, look, I just got a transportation card..."

After that, he took out a diamond-shaped crystal from his pocket and shook it in front of Howard like a child showing off a toy. Howard rolled his eyes and didn't take it seriously at all.

Until he just went out, at the door of the Sanctuary, he saw shuttles running all over the sky and a huge queue of people.

"What is this???!!!"
