"It's hard for me to believe that he said that his entire future would depend on me and that he would pass on this responsibility to me! I don't understand! His happiest day was when he sent me to boarding school!"
Chen Mo shook his head gently.
"That's not the case. I don't think you know him well."
"Dad, although you were once comrades-in-arms, do you know him better than me, a son?"
Facing Tony Stark's doubts, Chen Mo nodded.
"In fact, it's true. Howard is not only my comrade-in-arms, but also one of the veterans who formed SHIELD back then!"
"What?!"
Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaimed.
Previously, he only knew that his father, Howard, and Chen Mo had fought together on the European battlefield. Of course, Howard was a logistical researcher who provided them with technology and equipment support.
As for SHIELD, although Chen Mo had told them some of SHIELD's secrets, including Sharon's life experience and the fake death of Captain America Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter, Chen Mo did not mention Howard.
, he didn’t think much about it. At this time, he contacted me one after another, but it was not unacceptable.
According to Chen Mo, in order to maintain world peace and protect the security of the earth, he, Steve, Carter and others jointly formed SHIELD, hiding behind the scenes. He did not say who founded SHIELD at the time, but
The three of them were all comrades who had fought with Howard in Europe, so it was not surprising that Howard would form S.H.I.E.L.D. with them.
But despite this, Tony still found it difficult to accept it.
In his impression, Howard was a workaholic and arms dealer who was obsessed with technological research and development companies and put all his energy into scientific research and Stark Industries. Although Howard created the huge Stark Industries,
And left a lot of scientific and technological achievements, but Tony Stark did not have much respect for his father.
Just like himself, his status as a scientific genius and a super rich man does not make him proud, because it is no different from Howard. In the end, he is just an arms dealer, but he has always been shrouded in the shadow of Howard.
Can break through Howard's achievements in these two fields.
This made him even more dissatisfied with himself. While he was constantly developing new weapons and developing the company, he wanted to surpass Howard and prove himself, but at the same time he was constantly indulging himself.
Because he did not find the real value of life in it!
His arrogance, selfishness, indifference, and romanticism are all just a cover-up for his empty heart!
It wasn't until he experienced a terrorist kidnapping incident in Afghanistan and became "Iron Man" that he suddenly discovered that his identity as "Iron Man" made him feel for the first time that his life finally had meaning. He was no longer
A mediocre ordinary person, but a superhero who protects the world!
The heavy sense of responsibility and the sense of honor brought by saving civilians made him feel deeply proud! He finally found the meaning of his life!
That's why he openly disclosed his identity at the press conference and shouted, "I am Iron Man!"
After that, he finally broke through Howard's shadow and felt that he had finally proven himself.
But in addition to being dissatisfied with Howard for being too harsh and lacking care and recognition when he was young, his feelings for Howard are also more disdainful.
You have been busy working for your company and making money all your life, but in the end you are just a selfish arms dealer!
But at this time, he learned from Chen Mo that his father Howard was also the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. whose purpose was to protect the earth. Doesn't that mean...?!
Tony Stark looked at Chen Mo in disbelief, his eyes full of exploration.
Chen Mo met his gaze and nodded slightly.
"Yes, the reason why he is busy every day is not for his company, but for SHIELD and the world!"
When Tony Stark heard this, his expression became extremely complicated.
"It is precisely because of this heavy responsibility that he had to give up the opportunity to accompany you. In fact, he loves you very much! But he did not express it, but chose a deeper way. His love for you
Expectations are high!”
Tony Stark's eyes flashed violently, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy in his heart. For so many years, he had always thought that his father Howard did not love him, but Chen Mo told him that was not the case! For a moment, he was very
Hard to accept!
Shaking his head, Tony Stark looked at Chen Mo blankly and said with great tangle in his heart.
"I don't know...he originally..."
Chen Mo didn't explain any more, but patted Tony Stark on the shoulder and said softly.
"Maybe you should take a look for yourself what he left for you. Maybe it contains the answer you want!"
"What did he leave for me?"
Tony Stark looked confused.
"That's right, think carefully about where you might have thrown me."
Chen Mo reminded.
At this time, many years have passed since Howard's "suspended death", so it's normal that he can't remember it for a while.
Under Chen Mo's reminder, the dusty memories in Tony Stark's mind were gradually awakened, and he finally had an impression of what Chen Mo said. It seemed that after Howard "passed away", there was indeed something left behind, but...
The pain of losing his parents suddenly and his dissatisfaction with Howard made him choose to escape. Instead of sorting out the relics, he directly sealed them up.
That's right! His father Howard did leave him something, which is in the utility room on the ground floor of the villa!
Seeing Tony Stark's eyes light up, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile, and finally remembered!
Tony Stark was eager to find the answer to what kind of feelings his father had for him. He immediately left Chen Mo and Dr. Ethan and hurriedly left the laboratory and went to the long-forgotten laboratory.
room of things.
Pushing open the door, a messy scene came into view. Most of the things inside were unused, including some machines, equipment and weapon prototypes he had built before.
With complicated emotions, Tony Stark slowly walked toward the depths of the room.
Finally, in the corner of the utility room, Tony Stark found the box left by his father Howard. After many years, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on it.
Tony Stark squatted down, reached out and slowly brushed away the dust on the surface, and a name was revealed.
