I'm a party

“Every six months.”

"Once every three months." Hammer was extremely shrewd at this moment, no longer in a state of panic. Capitalists are indeed strange creatures in the face of huge profits.

"Then once every three months." Lu Yifang agreed and sneered in his heart, Hammer, do you think you can last more than three months?

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Lu Yifang stood up and shook hands with Hammer.

"All subsequent matters will be handled by my assistant, Ms. Emma Grace Frost." Lu Yifang pointed at the White Queen.

"Oh, lady, you are so beautiful!" Hammer finally relaxed, turned his gaze to the blonde beauty, and was instantly intoxicated by her.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." The White Queen winked at Hammer, and his breathing suddenly became rapid and his eyes became blurred.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back." Lu Yifang and the maid walked slowly towards the gate.

The Red Devil teleported in front of the two men, and with a flash of red light, the three men disappeared without a trace.

Hammer was completely unaware and was still talking excitedly to the White Queen, no doubt bewildered by her mental power.

Hammer might have explained himself about the teleportation. In his eyes, the Red Devil was just driving Lu Fang away.

In fact, the entire negotiation was a mental illusion of the White Queen. The bodyguards who had fallen to the ground stood up one after another, seemingly without any injuries, but with a slightly dazed look on their faces.

The negotiations went so smoothly that Hammer never asked about the backgrounds of Lu Yifang and others. Based on just one conversation, he made a huge investment without hesitation.

Hammer should have noticed many suspicious points, but under the mental suggestion of the White Queen, he ignored them one by one.

At this moment, Hammer's memory of Lu Yifang's appearance had become vague, and what was even more tragic was that he didn't even notice it.

Even when he recalled it later, the image of Aleister in his mind was just a white man in a green robe with flowing silver hair.

Hammer is smart, but he doesn't know what to do when faced with the mutants spying on him.

Originally, Lu Yifang could have let the White Queen control Hammer from the beginning, which would have been easy. But if he did so, it would be too big a step, and SHIELD would intervene and find Hammer's mental loopholes when interrogating him.

For this reason, Hammer was spared and instead used a combination of real and fake mental confusion methods.

······

At the same time, Tony, whom Hammer regards as his lifelong enemy, is also in trouble. Palladium poisoning has reached a critical stage and Tony Stark's life is hanging by a thread.

The poison marks had already spread to his neck. If Tony had not appeared in public wearing the Iron Man armor for several days, he would have been exposed long ago.

Because of this, although the situation was unfavorable, Tony indulged himself and held a birthday party, regarding it as the last carnival in his life.

At the climax of the dinner, Tony transformed into Iron Man and danced awkwardly. At this time, a black man appeared.

He is Lieutenant Colonel Roddy, Tony's good friend. During this period, he has been trying his best to persuade the military and the government to stop forcing Tony to hand over the armor.

Seeing that everything he did was to protect such a ridiculous Tony, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodey lost control instantly. He broke into the research and development room, put on another newly completed suit of armor, and angrily wrestled with Tony.

Everyone screamed and fled, and the birthday party turned into a farce.

The farce ended, and Lieutenant Colonel Roddy walked away wearing his armor, leaving Tony alone sitting in the hall, looking in the direction where Roddy left with a bitter and sad smile.

In the morning, Tony lay on his side on the huge donut sign of the bakery, enjoying the donuts and admiring the sunrise against the wind.

"Friend up there, can you come down for a moment?" a voice sounded.

Tony took off his sunglasses and looked down, only to see a one-eyed man in a black leather jacket, leather boots and a black eye mask, looking at him gloomily...

"Nick Fury!" Although he is the head of the Bureau of Special Operations, Fury's identity is kept secret, but this is relatively speaking.

Although the two have seen each other less frequently in recent years, Tony still remembers the past vividly. When he was a child, this guy often came to his home to visit his father Howard Stark.

"Let's talk." Fury waved his hand and walked into the pastry shop.

"Coulson mentioned that you seemed to want to form a women's association, and I was also secretly observing." Tony lowered his hips and spoke immediately.

"Let me correct you. It should be The Avengers, or Avengers for short. Of course, the name hasn't been finalized yet, but it's definitely not what you said." Fury tapped the table, his words firm.

"Oh, okay, I remembered it wrong." Tony spread his hands. "But to be honest, I have no interest in your team of extraordinary teenagers."

"You seem to have misunderstood, Tony. I'm not here for this. I'm here to save you." Fury looked straight ahead with his one eye, his tone solemn.

"Save me? Are you kidding me? I look like I'm in such a dire situation?" Tony laughed.

"Oh, really?" Fury snapped his fingers before he finished speaking.

"Sir, all the outsiders here have been cleared out and no one will disturb you." came the charming woman's voice that Tony was familiar with.

He turned around and saw a woman in a spy suit walking towards him slowly.

"It's you!" Tony, who was drinking, nearly dropped his glasses because the woman in tight combat suit turned out to be the secretary he hired not long ago.

In an instant, Tony was filled with thoughts, and soon he came up with a reasonable explanation: he was being monitored.

"Very good, you are fired now." Tony said coldly to Black Widow.

"This matter is not up to you." Black Widow smiled faintly.

"Tony, let me introduce you, this is Agent Normanoff." Fury pointed at Black Widow.

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm an agent of the DIAV. Upon learning that you were ill, Director Fury sent me to monitor you." Black Widow explained.

"Really? I think you'd better apologize to me." Tony looked annoyed and stared at Black Widow. He admired women, but didn't want to be teased by them.

"Tony, your focus seems to have strayed." Fury knocked on the table to bring Tony's attention back.

"Agent Normanov reminded me that you have been extremely busy recently. You handed the company over to Pepper to manage, gave away your property everywhere, and even let a friend wear your armored suit and fly away."

"I didn't give it to him, he took it away by force." Tony was a little impatient.

"Oh, really? As Iron Man, you let someone wear your suit and beat you up with it before leaving. Is that possible?" Fury pretended to be surprised and looked at Black Widow.

"According to Mr. Stark's security procedures, no one can activate the iron armor suit under normal circumstances without permission." Black Widow responded.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Seeing that the secret was exposed, Tony stopped arguing.

"You misunderstood again. It's not what we want you to do, but what you need us to do?" Fury tapped the table.

"Tony Stark, you've become a problem that I need to solve, and my world does not revolve around you, and I'm not your babysitter. Give her the injection." Fury snapped his fingers at Black Widow.

"Ouch...what are you doing?" Tony was even more displeased after being unexpectedly stabbed in the neck by the Black Widow.

"We're doing this for your own good. The potion can alleviate your symptoms, and we need you to stay energetic." Fury explained as he saw the bruises on Tony's neck fade.

"That's good news. Give me two more boxes."

"This medicine only provides temporary relief, Tony. It's not easy to cure you, and we need you to try your best." Fury said seriously.

"I've tried very hard. I've tried almost every combination of elements to find a substitute for palladium." Tony's face was full of despair.

"Well, let me tell you, you haven't tried everything." After Fury finished speaking, he walked out of the room, and a Quinjet appeared in the air.
