Chapter 721 Howard Stark's Legacy Should Have Been Returned to Its Original Owner 20 Years Ago (1/2)
Chapter 721 Howard Stark's legacy should have been returned to its original owner 20 years ago
"Abe, Fox." Aaron waved his hand, and the Holy Dragon in a light yellow plaid shirt jumped into his arms, and the Phoenix also flew over and stood steadily on his shoulder.
"Oh!" Stark opened his mouth, "Your two pets seem to have high IQs."
"More than high!" Pepper said unnaturally, "I just walked into the main hall of the Pepsi House and saw Abe lying on the sofa watching TV."
"That's not so surprising!"
"Have you ever seen a cat that can automatically change channels?" Pepper's eyes twitched slightly, "And it also knows how to go backwards."
"Abe and Fox are both professionally trained, and their IQs are definitely higher than police dogs."
Abe and Fox were stunned for a moment. Comparing them with police dogs was too insulting to the Holy Dragon (Phoenix).
"Okay! Can we find new elements?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Tony turned his head subconsciously.
Coulson was standing outside the door with a box, and in front of him was Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD.
"Why are they here?" Tony muttered.
"I don't know, maybe they are here to see you." Aaron's eyes swept over the box in Coulson's hand, and when he saw the name on it, he couldn't help but raise a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.
Admiration! Nick Fury's time is really accurate.
Pepper walked over and opened the door for the two of them, "Coulson, long time no see!"
"Good afternoon, Miss Potts." Coulson had a kind smile on his face, "This is the director of our SHIELD, we came here specifically to provide help to Mr. Stark."
"Help?"
"The things in here may be of some help to him." Coulson patted the box in his hand, "Because it's a long time ago, it took a lot of effort to sort it all out."
"Uh... Thank you." Pepper thanked him, but she was still a little confused.
"Ms. Potts, can we talk to Aaron and Mr. Stark alone?"
"Pepper." Tony nodded at her, "You go out first."
"Okay, no problem."
Pepper left the office, and Nick Fury and Coulson walked in. The former sat on the sofa in a familiar manner, and the latter put the box on the coffee table.
"We met here last time."
"I still give the same answer." Tony said impatiently, "I don't want to join your Superman boy group."
"I remember that you do everything by yourself." Nick Fury smiled, and then set his sights on Aaron, "Don't you have anything to say when you meet me as the director?"
"Director Fury." Aaron smiled slightly, "The last time I saw you was through a video call on Coulson's phone."
"Did I stop you from reporting to the headquarters? You don't want to go." Nick Fury said unhappily.
Aaron shrugged and said very bluntly: "If it is not necessary, I don't even want to sign any contract with SHIELD."
"Is that a contract? It is clearly a contract." Nick Fury rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You are now the only supplier of special drugs for SHIELD."
"SHIELD has not suffered any loss!" Aaron pretended to be embarrassed, "If Director Fury doesn't want to, you can approve a note and unilaterally fire me."
"Not yet, even if he is a non-staff member, he is also a SHIELD member." Nick Fury said with resentment. It is easy to fire him, but it is difficult to invite him back.
Besides, if he drove Aaron, the supplier of special drugs, away, many people in SHIELD would probably have complaints against him.
"Okay, okay." Tony interrupted, "Let's get back to the point! What did you come to me for?"
"To help you solve the problem caused by that thing." Nick Fury pointed at Tony's chest, "Palladium poisoning is not pleasant."
"It seems that many people know." Tony frowned, "How did you know?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has no shortage of experts. We have been paying attention to your situation. It is not difficult to analyze this." Nick Fury said as a matter of course, "But we did something else."
After the voice fell, Natalie walked in from the door and sat next to Nick Fury very naturally.
Seeing this scene, Tony seemed to understand something, "You are fired."
"It is not up to you to decide. Miss Potts is the CEO of Stark Corporation."
"Tony, this is Agent Romanoff, Natasha Romanoff."
"I am an undercover agent of SHIELD. When we knew you were sick, Director Fury sent me to observe you."
"You'd better apologize to me."
"You should say thank you to me. I arranged for SHIELD agents to delay time for you in Monaco."
Tony sneered. He had made enough preparations before going on stage. Even without the dozen seconds of delay by those agents, he could handle Ivan Vanko.
"You really took great pains to get me to join your group of super boys!"
"Don't get me wrong." Nick Fury's tone rose a little, "My world does not revolve around you, and the real world is not as calm as you see on the surface.
Tony Stark, the reason why you can play Iron Man well is because SHIELD is trying to maintain the surface balance.
But under the calm surface, the turbulence of the undercurrent is beyond your imagination."
"What is the world like?" Aaron asked curiously.
"Do you want to know?" Nick Fury leaned back, "This is the information that only level 9 agents have permission to query."
Aaron laughed and stopped asking.
He would not completely bind himself to SHIELD for a little bit of information, and he did not think that SHIELD's information was complete.
"Natasha told me that you tried all possible combinations of elements and couldn't find a substitute for palladium. That's when I knew I should give you the contents of this box."
Tony looked at his father's name on the box and asked doubtfully, "New element?"
"How is that possible? But it plus you are the key to the new element." Nick Fury said meaningfully, "The thing on your chest is made based on unfinished technology."
"No, it's a finished product. I shrunk it down before it worked."
"No, your dad said that the arc reactor is just a springboard for greater technology.
He was going to start an energy competition that would leave all his opponents far behind.
His dream was bigger. The nuclear reactor would be like the size of a No. 7 battery in comparison."
"Only he "Is it true?" Tony asked, "Anton Vanko was also involved!"
"Anton Vanko is like the other side of the coin. He thought it was a way to make a fortune. When your father found out, he expelled him from the country.
When the Russian government found out that he couldn't deliver the goods, they sent him to Siberia. Then he lived a life of drunkenness and dream for the past 20 years, which is not good for the growth of children."
"So that's the case." Aaron sneered, "No wonder Ivan wants to kill you.
It's a pity that Obadiah is dead. If he could have done it to you a year or two later, he would have waited for Ivan Vanko, a partner. "
"My dad is right, it's his dad who is wrong, but he seems to blame me.
He's mentally ill. I have to find him a psychiatrist."
"I'm afraid it's too late." Elson interrupted, "Just yesterday, there was an explosion in Monaco Prison, and Ivan Vanko was killed."
"That's not..." Tony said, his face changed, "He was really kidnapped, this move was really fast."
"Your trouble is on the way, be prepared."
"I just want to find new elements now. It's really uncomfortable to feel that my life is threatened all the time." Tony said lightly, then looked at Nick Fury, "Are you sure that the things in this box can help me?"
"It's not me who is sure, but your father is sure.
He said that only you have the resources and wisdom to complete the plan he started."
"Did he really say that?"
"Absolutely true."
Tony pursed his lips, "I don't know how you know these things, but he doesn't think much of me. . "
"What's your impression of your father?"
"Cold, calculating, never said he loved me.
The happiest day for him was the day he sent me to boarding school.
And now you tell me that he said I can change the future, I really find it hard to believe. "
"That means you don't know him well enough."
"It's as if you know my father better than I do."
"Almost. Howard Stark is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. This is one of the reasons why I pay attention to you. Although your father has been dead for 20 years, the connections he left for you are still playing a role." Nick Fury said with a sigh, "After you were kidnapped by terrorists in Afghanistan, in addition to your good friend James Rhodes who spared no effort to find you, S.H.I.E.L.D. definitely did as much as he did."
Tony nodded, not doubting this.
"I hope this thing can help you." Nick Fury said.
"Director, I have a small question. "Aaron looked at the box on the coffee table, his face full of confusion and bewilderment, "Since you know Tony is in trouble and you know this box may help him, why did you send it here now?"
Nick Fury blinked his one eye, his face did not change at all, but in his heart he cursed Aaron's ancestors.
If it weren't for your accident, I would have waited until Tony Stark was about to die before giving him this box, so that I could get the most out of his favor.
"First we have to sort out these things, second I sent Natasha to understand the situation and protect him, and finally your potion is very useful, and we have more time than we thought.
Of course, more importantly, you can help him find new elements. I plan to see your ability first. Regeneration masters are too mysterious in my eyes. "
"Why did you change your mind now?" Aaron said playfully, "You don't plan to see my ability?"
Nick Fury hesitated for a second and took out the excuse he had made before, "I have something important to do. I will leave at 2 pm and I don't know when I can come back.
If you can't find the new element, this box may be Tony Stark's last straw. "
"Director is righteous!" Aaron gave a thumbs up.
"It's not worth mentioning. After all, he is the son of Howard Stark, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. "Nick Fury waved his hand modestly, and deepened the relationship between Tony Stark and SHIELD.
Your father founded SHIELD and left you new elements. As a son, you should provide some decent help even if you don't join!
Tony's eyes were complicated, but Aaron's next sentence made his face become more interesting.
"Tony, why don't you thank Director Fury quickly.
In order to save you, he dug out Howard Stark's legacy that should have been handed over to you 20 years ago."
Nick Fury:......
This knife repair is too professional!
Fuck! How can you be a consultant of SHIELD?
"Yes!" Tony reacted, looking at the box with the words "Howard Stark" written on it, he couldn't help but sneer, "This is my father's legacy, right? I, the only biological son, actually received it 20 years later.
How funny! If my dad knew, would he be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin?
Nick Fury, shouldn't you, the director of SHIELD, give me an explanation? "
Nick Fury is the king of agents after all. Although this question caught him off guard, he quickly thought of how to explain it.
"You should ask Alexander Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, this question.
Twenty years ago, I was a small novice agent, and I didn't even know what the relationship between Howard Stark and SHIELD was. "Nick Fury said helplessly. Passing the blame was the best and only way he could think of, although it might be a bit unfair to his old boss.
"I know Pierce. He promoted me.
As for why he didn't give this box to you, I think there are two reasons.
First, you are too young. I don't need to remind you what kind of person you were before last year. The most famous playboy in the world? "
Tony looked embarrassed and speechless.
Before he became Iron Man, he seemed unreliable.
"Second, Howard has made too many contributions to SHIELD. His son has his own life, and it might be a better choice for him to live happily.
When your father died, SHIELD still had many good friends of his. They were all friends who had known each other for a lifetime. His inheritance was sorted out by them. Do you think they would withhold Howard's inheritance?
How old were you at that time, Tony? What would you think if you knew that your father had been working for a mysterious organization? "Nick Fury's explanation became more and more powerful, and he almost believed it, as if this was the truth.
Coulson and Natasha looked at each other quietly, and they were deeply impressed by their director's ability to lie with open eyes.
Aaron listened with interest, and wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back.
There are still some loopholes in Nick Fury's words. Tony may not be reliable before he became Iron Man, so what about after he became Iron Man?
SHIELD still did not give Howard's legacy to him, and even when Nick Fury invited him to join the Avengers, he did not mention the relationship between Howard and SHIELD. Isn't it just to wait for the price?
It's a pity that he came out halfway, so waiting for the price doesn't exist. It's more important to repair the relationship as soon as possible and let Howard's legacy play its role as much as possible.
