Marvel's Father Earth

The public opinion of the world is once again on Stark Industries, or to be precise, it should be on Tony.

At a hearing some time ago, Tony assured on the spot that the reactor cannot be imitated, and no one will be able to develop the same technology within at least 20 years.

But what happened in Monaco was a slap in the face to Tony, just as he slapped Justin Hammer and the senator that day.

Pepper and Sharon Carter were upstairs dealing with pressure calls from all sides, and Roddy also came to see Tony, hoping that he could come forward to solve the current troubles.

But Tony was so focused on studying the upgrades of his armor that he didn't even notice that Roddy had been standing next to him for a few minutes.

"Tony!" Roddy yelled angrily, finally catching Tony's attention.

"Huh? Roddy? When did you come?"

"I've been here for a few minutes. Listen Tony, you have to go upstairs and get the situation under control now. I've been on the phone with the Guard all day to convince them not to come with tanks and break down your door. Take these." War Armor, you also know that they have been coveting your War Armor for more than a day or two."

"Okay, I know everything, I will solve it." Tony responded a little irritably.

"Tony, you just said that no one will have this kind of technology within 20 years, but guess what? Someone got an exact same one yesterday..."

"To be precise, it's not the same. The speed, structure, and materials are all different..."

"Who cares about this? They only care about whether that thing can make your armor move."

"Okay, I know, I will..."

"Tony, you really have to concentrate this time!" It felt like Tony had been perfunctory with him, and Roddy was also very angry. He, Pepper and other people who cared about him had been helping him deal with various troubles outside. He himself But he didn't care, still immersed in his own little world.

What does this take them for?

"Yes, yes, I know that. Now, please go upstairs. I really need to concentrate now."

"What happened to make you like this? What's the use of upgrading your armor now? Huh? Are there terrorists again that make you feel in danger? Or are you planning to go to war directly with the guards?"

Roddy didn't understand what made Tony so crazy. Although he had always been self-centered, narcissistic, arrogant, and poisonous... he would still do what he should do when it mattered. Rather than like now.

"I'm fine, really, I'm fine now..."

"No, you're not fine at all now."

"Huh?" A third person's voice suddenly appeared in the basement, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time.

"Mr. Howard!"

"Dad! Why are you here?"

The two were surprised. Tony was surprised that he hadn't seen his parents for a long time, saying that they were going on vacation; while Rody was surprised that Howard was still alive!

Howard announced his retirement after handing over Stark Industries to Tony. Countless people tried to find him but couldn't find him. He didn't even leave a single contact information. He and Maria just disappeared from the world. Usually, no one can find them, so there are rumors that they have died, and funerals are held secretly, etc.

"Long time no see, Roddy. I'm happy for you to see that you're still in such good spirits."

"The same goes for you...wait...what you look like!"

"Haha, we'll talk about this later." Howard smiled and did not immediately answer Roddy's question. Instead, he looked at Tony with an expression that said, "I hate the iron that cannot be transformed into steel." "Let's talk about you first, Tony, you have already Have you found out the identities of Anton Vanko and Ivan Vanko?”

"...So you just came back to teach me a lesson?" Tony asked with an unhappy expression.

"It seems that you have found it. Yes, everything you have found is true. Anton was my assistant back then and participated in the research and development of the reactor. I think this is the key to opening the door to a new future, but he just regarded it as He was a tool to make money, so I expelled him, and that was the truth back then."

"What are you talking about? I've found out everything..."

"Then what are you impatient about?"

"I'm not impatient..."

"The first time you were saved by Garen, the second time you were helped by Garen, and the third time you were saved by Mu. Your pride was stimulated, so you became impatient."

It seemed that Howard was asking Tony, but in fact, as a father, he had already seen through Tony's heart, so he was just asking and answering himself.

Roddy stood aside a little confused. Although he knew that the Howard family was hiding a major secret, as Tony's friend, he would not delve into it as long as the secret would not harm the country. But now may be an opportunity to help him understand better. Tony, knows the Stark family better.

"Hey! Old guy! I won't do it because..."

"Okay, Tony, you are my son. You are exactly the same now as I was back then. The Saint Seiya's unparalleled strength makes the major crises in our eyes just children's play house, envy and jealousy in their eyes. The long-term accumulation has made us also long for such power.

Not just to surpass them, not just to prove yourself and satisfy your own pride, but also to have the qualifications to fight alongside them when necessary, instead of being the one who is always being taken care of, right? "Howard poured himself a glass of wine and said flatly.

But even with these plain words, every word directly impacted Tony's heart.

Yes, this is the reason for Tony's impatience, but he has always been unwilling to admit it. Now that Howard has ruthlessly torn away the disguise, he has to face his own heart.

"Okay, I admit you are right, damn little universe, why don't I have this talent?" Tony laughed at himself.

"Me neither, and I don't think you can persist in such hard training. Do you still remember the first time you observed the training of the candidates when you were a child? At that time, you were..."

"Okay, don't mention what happened back then."

Although it was buried in the garbage heap of memory, it is still fresh in his memory when it is mentioned. It is better not to talk about the dark history, otherwise he will really lose face.

"Well, the photos have been collected anyway."

"You bastard old man..."

"The ones your mother took are the ones she wants to collect."

Oh, that's fine.

Tony, who was ashamed and angry, then thought of something else, so he counterattacked: "I find it very interesting. Dad, you also have moments of envy. Shouldn't this be a unique emotion that others have towards you?"

"Haha, Tony, when the war with the Imperial Navy ended, I saw that the Saints were covered in wounds, and even the missiles could not leave a trace of their Saint Cloths becoming tattered. They supported each other and returned If you haven't seen the scene in the sanctuary with your own eyes, you won't understand the impatience in my heart." Howard said with emotion while recalling.

Tony was silent. He was indeed not present at the time, but he heard them talk about it later. Steve also said that it was a battle that he would never forget in his life, and it was also the battle that made him most proud and glorious, but specifically He didn't know what the situation was.

"Okay, what now?" Tony changed the subject in order to prevent the sad atmosphere from continuing to pervade.

"It seems that you really didn't read the notes I gave you carefully. You are an idiot."

"Hey! Why are you swearing? And it's your son!"

"Huh, once you take a closer look, you will know why I scolded you. Okay, now follow me upstairs to meet Maria."

"Okay." Tony spread his hands and closed the computer. He could put other things aside for the time being, but he could not resist Maria.

"Mr. Howard..." Seeing that the two of them had finally finished talking, Roddy found the opportunity to interrupt.

To be honest, he felt dizzy now because the amount of information he had just received was too great.

Howard is actually a member of the Sanctuary?Even if not, he definitely maintains a very close relationship with Sanctuary, and judging from Tony's attitude throughout the conversation, he is not surprised at all. It seems that he has known about this for a long time, and he even has a very close relationship with Sanctuary. .

Thinking back to the press conference where Tony announced that he was Iron Man and the scene where the Saints appeared, a shocking guess came to Roddy's mind. This was all arranged in advance!

The reason why the higher-ups have not taken coercive measures against Tony until now is partly because of the energy of Stark Industries, and partly because they are afraid of the Sanctuary and fear of retaliation against them later.

This is already related to the safety of the country, and there are some questions that Roddy must get answers to.

"If you have any questions, we'll discuss them later. Let's go up now."

"Okay." Rody nodded.

And Tony complained dissatisfiedly: "I finally came back, but in the end, I came to teach me."

Howard stopped, turned around and answered Tony jokingly: "What? Did our little genius forget that tomorrow is your birthday?"

Tony was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said arrogantly: "As long as I want, I can celebrate my birthday every day."

After saying that, he pushed past Howard and Roddy and went upstairs first.

The two looked at his hastily escaping back, smiled at each other, shook their heads and went upstairs.

……

Tony is still enjoying the reunion of his family, but he doesn't know that Ivan Vanko, who was sent to prison by himself, has been fished out of prison.

In Hammer Industries, Justin still dressed himself up beautifully, like a peacock in heat all the time, fooling Ivan Vanko into working for him.

"So, what do you want them for?" Ivan Vanko asked Justin Hammer, pointing to a pair of unfinished products.

"I want them to allow me to sign a 25-year contract with the Department of Defense, I want [Iron Man] to look like an antique, I want to go to the Stark Expo and make Tony lose face in front of everyone."

"Haha, okay, I want to do the same." Ivan Vanke smiled.

"I just love how cheerful you are!"

Justin Hammer thought he had recruited a powerful man, and he could finally step on Tony, who had repeatedly made him embarrassed, and surpass Stark Industries to become the new overlord.

But what he doesn't know is that he is just a pawn used by Ivan Vanko for revenge.
