Chapter 120 Tony: Is this also within your calculation?
When Black Salted Egg found Tony with Howard's belongings.
The boy was wearing sunglasses and eating a donut while lying on a huge donut.
Life is so unrestrained.
Black Salted Egg turned his head and glared at Natasha with his only remaining eye, as if to say: Is this what you said, dying?
"I think he's quite comfortable."
"I don't know."
Natasha was also confused. A few days ago, this kid was clearly indulging himself, wearing battle armor and having fun everywhere, blowing up watermelons with his palm cannon, and drinking filtered excrement as water...
Nick Fury looked up with a dark face and shouted at Tony: "Get down!"
"What?"
Nick Frittoni didn't look very happy when he saw him.
This person is almost like trouble.
Tony gets annoyed by the sight of him.
"What are you doing?" Nick shouted. "Hasn't anyone told you that it's very rude to eat on someone else's store sign?"
"is it?"
Tony immediately raised his eyebrows and whispered something. A minute later, he looked at Nick Fury again and said provocatively, "It's my store now."
Nick Fury: ...
To be honest, it was just a small donut shop located in such a remote area, so it wouldn't cost much to buy it. However, Tony's behavior really broke the defense of Nick Fury, who had to report expenses and get funding every year.
It would be great if all this money could be used to build a safe house for myself!
However, the angrier Nick was, the more he wanted to pull Tony into his team.
If for no other reason than to solve the funding problem.
The Security Council had originally been quite critical of his plan to reorganize a team of people with super powers, but after Dong Wu's rampage in Manhattan, they relaxed a bit, but it was hard to say how much funding Nick could get.
Without money, you can’t move forward!
We can't let him pay for it himself, can we?
Not only Tony Stark, but also the newly emerging president of Primus, Bant Parker was within his consideration.
Apart from anything else, if we can get Banta into the team, will there be a shortage of self-healing potions in the future?
Nick Fury’s main feature is that he gets it for free, without spending any money, and his racial talent is one of them.
Of course, the bill still needs to be paid!
How can you cheat our grandparents out of their money if you don’t transfer the money?
At worst, I can split it 50-50 with Primus.
He thought his plan was perfect.
In times of crisis, Stark was helped. With Stark's pride and tsundere, the Avengers will definitely have enough funding in the future.
As for Bant Parker.
What does a teenager want most, especially a teenager who has money?
Isn't it just like Tony, dreaming of becoming a superhero who saves the world?
Take it easy!
At that time, I will take Tony's armor and tell Bant Parker that as long as he joins us and provides me with potions for free, he can get the armor immediately; then I will take the potion to Tony and tell him that as long as he gives me the technology of armor, I can take off the thing on his chest immediately.
Eat both ends, perfect!
All I can say is that Nick Fury's dreams are beautiful, but reality may not be what he wishes.
Just like now.
Tony still came down from the roof, took off his armor, whistled at Natasha, and then walked into the store with Nick Fury.
He wanted to see what good shit this nigger could come up with.
"Tony Stark, the palladium poisoning doesn't feel good, does it?" Nick thought he had the chips in his hands and drank his drink leisurely.
But Tony raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, when he heard Nick Fury say this.
It seems that Bant Parker was right. Anyone with a little bit of ability probably knows that he will not live long.
However, that was before.
"so what?"
"We can help you!" Nick spoke frankly.
But this made Tony a little unhappy.
What do you mean?
One by one, two people came forward to say they could help me. Does that mean you all discovered new elements, but I'm the only one who can't?
Is it true that the reputation of being a genius is undeserved?
Thinking of this, Tony looked at Nick Fury unhappily and said, "Why, you also discovered a new element?"
"also?"
Nick Fury caught the word sharply.
He didn't think there was anyone else in the world who could discover new elements, and thought that Tony himself had surpassed his father, Howard Stark.
If that were the case, he had miscalculated.
But Tony changed the subject and avoided talking about this matter.
Although he admitted that he lost to Bant in the discovery of new elements, he would not publicize his failure.
But Tony didn't want to talk about it, but Nick Fury couldn't avoid the topic.
All his goals and chips today are placed on the new element. If Tony really discovers the new element, wouldn’t everything be over?
So he asked:
"You really discovered a new element, didn't you?"
Tony didn't say anything, but his eyes were slightly unfriendly, and then Nick became even more anxious. In a panic, he took out the suppressive dialogue skills he usually used to treat his subordinates, commonly known as PUA, and immediately said:
"Do you think you're the first person to discover a new element?"
"Let me tell you, you are so conceited that you think you are a genius, but in fact, someone has already discovered the existence of new elements!"
These two sentences are simply walking into Tony's minefield!
Originally, he was in a bad mood because of losing to Bant, but after all, he was reborn and felt more relaxed than ever before.
But what about now?
Nick Fury's two words directly rubbed salt into his wounds.
"enough!"
He slammed his hands on the table, causing Nick Fury to react immediately. The man in front of him was not his most hated subordinate, but his real financial sponsor. "I don't need you to remind me of my failure!"
After these words were spoken, Nick Fury was confused again.
What do you mean?
Did this guy know about Howard a long time ago?
Nick Fury instinctively realized that this matter was a bit strange, so he turned his single eye in his eye socket and asked tentatively:
"What do you know about Howard?"
"Who?"
Tony almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"Howard Stark, your father," Nick said more clearly.
"What do you say he does?"
All of a sudden, the atmosphere between the two changed again. Tony's face was complicated, with some unhappiness and confusion on his face, but not so angry anymore.
And Nick Fury was even more confused.
The next second, two people spoke at the same time:
"So, the person you're talking about who discovered the new element wasn't Howard?"
"So you're saying that my dad discovered new elements, too?"
This time, both of them changed their expressions, and a sentence "Fuck you" came out of their mouths in unison.
For Nick Fury, an unknown force contacted Tony Stark before him, and they also discovered new elements, which is undoubtedly a potential threat.
Most importantly, his funding...
Gone!
And for Tony Stark, this is undoubtedly another blow to him!
What he hated most in his life was that he was not as good as others, and what he hated even more was that his father was not as good as himself.
Now, it’s not enough that one Bant discovered a new element. The old guy who has been dead for decades actually taught himself a lesson.
Very angry!
Tony was more angry than he wanted to admit.
His eyes widened and he held out his hand to Nick Fury: "Where's the evidence?"
"what?"
"Give me the evidence that Howard discovered the new element!" he said firmly.
Nick Fury: ...
He has no fucking evidence!
Due to the limitations of the times and technology, Howard did not find out the true appearance of the new element. He just put forward an idea and waited for future generations to discover it.
However, SHIELD withheld Howard's belongings, leaving Tony in the dark about the matter.
Now, he could only bite the bullet and say: "It's not really a discovery, but he proposed the concept of a new element..."
"is it?"
Tony's expression softened and he said, "That's it? I thought he was so amazing."
"I hope you can understand that Howard is limited by the times," Nick said.
He wasn't just speaking well of Howard, he was also emphasizing the relationship between Howard and .
Without the bargaining chip of the new element, he could only deepen Stark's connection with SHIELD in this way.
"is it?"
Tony said nonchalantly, "Is he also restricted by age?"
for him.
If you lose, you lose. The worst that can happen is that you can win it back next time. There is no point in making so many excuses.
Howard may have been limited by the times, but wasn't Bant Parker limited by his age?
He was able to invent self-healing potions and discover new elements at the age of sixteen. This kind of wisdom was enough to gain Tony's recognition.
Of course, he would never admit that Bant was smarter than him.
This is just a temporary win or loss.
The only difference is that before it was just him who lost, but now it’s two Starks who lost.
No matter what, Tony felt relieved to have someone to lose with. He relaxed and leaned back in his seat.
"If you have nothing else, let's go back?"
He was ready to kick people out.
But Nick Fury still has one last doubt.
“I really want to know who solved this problem and uncovered the true identity of this mysterious element?”
Originally, Nick Fury didn't actually expect to get any answer, but after hearing his question, Tony looked at him strangely.
He thought about a few days ago.
After he finally decided to use the element of krypton, he contacted Bant.
At that time, Bant said that someone would come to you in a few days and ask you who provided you with the new element.
"Don't hide it for me, just tell him directly."
Bant's voice seemed to still echo in Tony's ears.
Now, the only thought that flashed through Tony's mind was: Bant Parker, is this also within your calculations?
Since the real owner said there was no need to keep it secret, there was no need for Tony to get involved.
"Bent Parker."
"Who?"
"Bant Parker, the president of Primus, don't tell me that your SHIELD hasn't investigated him." Tony rolled his eyes.
How could he not know the nature of SHIELD?
At that time, in order to obtain his own information, he even brought Natasha into his company.
It's a pity that Pepper Potts was already the CEO of Stark Group at that time, so he didn't get to taste the flavor of Black Widow.
