Richard smiled and greeted the ugly Tony Stark: "Hello, Mr. Stark. Richard Lee, Daily Planet."
Haha, you can’t think of it, right? This is the routine.
As we all know, Stark only sees girls with above-average looks. If you make an appointment with him through normal channels, you will most likely be rejected. This is the so-called "looks are justice".
Others will be tricked if they are tricked. Out of courtesy, they will usually chat briefly with the other person, at least in a symbolic way. But Tony is not an ordinary person. He turned around and left when he saw the high-scoring beauty in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a rough guy came over. Tony had a long face and said extremely unhappy: "Sorry, man, the interview ends here, you remind me of spoiled bacon...I'm sorry, that's not the point."
, but I usually only accept interviews from pretty female reporters.”
I, Tony Stark, am not targeting anyone, but I want to say that all men are scum.
Tony's temper is indeed very bad, but usually it's not that bad. The reason today is mainly due to the influence of palladium poisoning. Tony is already so exhausted from the palladium poisoning that he can't even stand up.
, now I just cheered up because I heard about a beautiful woman, but when I ran over and saw you, you told me that he was actually a rough guy?
Others don't know, but Richard does understand Tony's situation at this time. After all, he has only one breath left and is about to die at any time. It is not incomprehensible for him to lose control of his emotions and make rude remarks.
Although he said this, is Richard Lee such a magnanimous and informal person? He is not.
Richard showed no annoyance on his face and pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Mr. Stark, has anyone mentioned that you don't look like your dad at all?"
Tony snorted: "I haven't seen that old guy a few times since I was a child, and sending me to boarding school was when he was happiest. So yes, I know that I am nothing like that old guy, and I don't
I don’t think there’s anything strange about it.”
"No, no, no, Mr. Stark." Richard shook his head and corrected, "I mean you look nothing like your father... genetically."
Tony's face grew longer: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, it's just a casual mention." Richard smiled, "You may have heard that in my hometown there is a traditional skill of reading faces, which can tell a person's personal situation and life path through his face.
Something like that. I'm not proficient in this skill, but I know a little bit about it. Mr. Stark, I think you're in trouble. If you're willing to listen to me, you'd better do a DNA test or something.
....”
Of course, reading faces is all bullshit, and Richard knows everything about fortune-telling and so on - he knows nothing about it.
However, he is not completely telling the truth. It is not explained in the MCU movies, but it is clearly explained in the Marvel comics that Tony is not Howard Stark's biological son at all, he is actually adopted. This story is a long story
Yes, this also involves the "God Killer", which is praised by some netizens as the most powerful armor in the history of Iron Man (however, it was not actually made by Tony), so I won't mention it here for now.
Well, Richard actually doesn’t know if the MCU has a setting where Tony is not his biological child, but who cares? Isn’t this a quarrel?
"Okay, great guy, why don't you waste your time with someone who is willing to listen to your lies?" Tony said stiffly, "Listen, I'm in a bad mood and in a bad state right now, and I don't have the energy to continue with you...
..”
Before he finished speaking, Richard took a step forward and grabbed his wrist without any explanation.
Tony frowned: "You...wait, what did you do?"
As if in just this second, Tony was surprised to find that all the fatigue and discomfort on his body had disappeared, and even the purple streaks that had quietly crawled up his neck faded away little by little.
His pale face turned rosy in the blink of an eye, and after a while he regained his vitality.
Tony felt as if he had never been as energetic as he was now in his whole life, as if he had been pulled back from the edge of life and death to his peak in one second.
This time he no longer looked at Richard like he was looking at a charlatan. He looked at Richard with some suspicion: "How did you do that?"
Richard only smiled: "Now, Mr. Stark, do you have the strength to continue talking?"
Tony frowned, lost in thought.
He has tried almost every solution, but none of the known methods so far have helped or even alleviated his symptoms.
The palladium toxin was killing him bit by bit, and he had slowly begun to accept the possibility. Recently, he had even begun to prepare for his funeral. But this person just touched his wrist lightly, and the palladium toxin was killing him.
All the negative effects seemed to disappear, it was like magic.
But that was actually just an illusion. Richard was not capable of solving the century-old problem of the arc reactor. He only injected a small amount of light power into Tony's body to temporarily dispel the toxins and restore his body's condition, but this only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.
.When that little bit of light energy is used up, the palladium toxin will soon corrode his internal organs again.
If we want to completely eradicate this problem, we still have to rely on Tony himself, just like in the movie.
But Richard only needed to do this. In this way, Tony was temporarily relieved of his depression and regained his energy. Secondly, he also successfully attracted his attention.
It is true that Tony Stark is a scientist, but this does not mean that it is difficult for him to accept things that are beyond the scope of modern scientific explanation, such as magic, gods, ghosts, etc.
In fact, for a man with broad vision and knowledge like Tony, it is often easier for him to accept these mysterious things than others. But he firmly believes that existence is reasonable, and everything, including magic and gods, can be explained by scientific principles.
.He believes that his technology can crack everything.
This made him change his view of Richard, and he decided to listen to what the other party wanted to say.
After Richard briefly explained his purpose, Tony couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Making a movie?"
He had thought about many possibilities that the other party might be looking for him, but he just didn't think of this. The Stark Group was involved in many and complex fields, but it had never had anything to do with the film industry. Why would anyone want to find him to invest in movies?
?
Of course, he asked the question. Richard smiled and explained: "Because, Mr. Stark, you are the only superhero we can find who is rich enough."
