The Greatest Creation!

Looking at his father's name, Tony Stark was stunned for a long time, his heart filled with complex emotions.

When he returned to the lab with his suitcase, Chen Mo and Dr. Ethan were no longer there, clearly intending to leave him some private space.

Tony Stark placed the box on the table, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the box that had been sealed away for many years.

There wasn't much in the box: a roll of blueprints, a few notebooks, documents, and a few rolls of old-fashioned film videotapes.

Tony Stark first opened the top roll of blueprints and discovered that it was the design blueprint for the Arc Reactor left by Howard!

I casually flipped through a few notebooks, which were full of formulas and research records.

Finally, he picked up a few boxes of film and looked through them, but couldn't see anything special. This kind of old-fashioned film had long been obsolete. Fortunately, Tony Stark had a hobby of collecting antiques. Not only classic cars, but also old record players and projectors were in his collection.

Tony Stark took the projector off the shelf, loaded a roll of film, and started playing it. Curious about what his father might have left behind, Tony Stark didn't look at any other notes or anything, and just sat in the chair and read them carefully.

Wearing a gray suit and sporting a mustache, Howard Stark appeared on screen looking handsome and composed. Tony Stark looked at the figure of his father, who had long since become a blur in his mind, and his gaze became complicated.

"Everything can be achieved through technology: a better life, a healthier body, and, for the first time in human history, the possibility of world peace!"

In the video, Howard is seen leaning back on his desk with his arms crossed, slowly narrating. As the camera moves, a model of a city appears in the frame.

Judging from the looks of it, he was probably recording a promotional video for Stark Industries.

Howard continued his narration, but Tony Stark's eyes suddenly lit up as he watched the screen.

At this moment, Howard walked from his desk to the sand table model and started talking. Behind him, on the other side of the sand table model, a seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly stood up from under the desk, looked at Howard, and quietly picked up a building model from the sand table.

Just then, Howard turned around and saw the little boy and the architectural model in his hand.

"Tony, what are you doing over there? What's that?"

It turns out that this mischievous little boy was Tony Stark as a child!

Howard looked at the architectural model in Tony Stark's hand and pointed sternly at the empty section of the sand table.

"Put it back! Put it back where it was!"

Under his father's stern reprimand, the little boy Tony Stark reluctantly put down the model in his hand. Sitting in a chair, Tony Stark couldn't help but think of his father's strictness towards him in the past, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Where is your mother?

In the shot, Howard turns his head and shouts out to the viewer.

"Maria!"

"Quickly, take him away!"

At Howard's urging, a staff member came forward and carried Tony Stark Jr. out, and the recording continued.

Then the screen flashed by a lot of messy shots and several behind-the-scenes clips, probably spliced together during editing. Just when Tony Stark thought it was over, the screen suddenly changed and returned to the shot of the city model from the beginning.

A figure slowly walked away from the camera, seemingly having just finished adjusting the camera. The figure turned around in front of the sand table model, and it was Howard Stark. However, he had taken off his previous sharp suit and was now only wearing a shirt with the collar and cuffs unbuttoned, and his tie loosened, hanging crookedly around his neck.

This was probably recorded by him after the promotional video was finished and all the staff had left.

Leaning against the sand table, Howard looked up at the camera, his expression serious yet with a hint of kind smile, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Tony!"

Tony Stark was taken aback when he heard Howard call his name. In his memory, his father Howard had never spoken to him in such a gentle and formal tone.

"You're too young to understand, so I'll film this part for you first."

In the shot, Howard turned to the side and raised his hand to gesture towards the city model behind him.

"All of this was created for you!"

"One day you will understand that this represents not only human invention, but also my life's achievement!"

"This is the key to the future!"

At this point, Howard's expression became extremely serious, while Tony Stark stared intently at his familiar yet unfamiliar father on the screen.

"I am limited by the technology of this era, but one day you will understand it all, and then you will change the world!"

Tony Stark's expression was incredibly complex upon hearing Howard's immense expectations of him.

The Godfather didn't lie to me! He truly believed I could change the world!

"My greatest creation will always be..."

"You!"

As Howard uttered his last word, Tony Stark felt a lump in his throat, and his vision blurred rapidly.

All these years, I've wronged him!

It turns out that I wasn't a useless burden in his eyes, but rather a masterpiece he was proud of!

After Howard finished speaking, he gazed affectionately at the camera and gave a deep, slight smile, but Tony Stark noticed that his eyes were already red!

His gaze seemed to be looking at Tony Stark through the camera lens, and the deep paternal love overflowing in his eyes made Tony Stark have no doubt about his love for him!

The film reel ended there, and the idling projector made a clicking sound that echoed throughout the laboratory. Tony Stark, however, stared blankly at the now-darkened screen.

The last image from just now vividly appeared in his mind, along with the words, "My greatest creation will always be... you!"

It turns out that he had misunderstood his father all these years!

He not only loved him very much, but also always approved of him and was proud of him!

Perhaps he just doesn't know how to express himself, so he only uses harshness to mask his love for her!

However, his responsibilities at S.H.I.E.L.D.. meant he didn't have much time to spend with himself, instead devoting all his time to scientific research and changing the world!

Nevertheless, he left behind the results of his life's work and firmly believed that he could complete his unfinished work!
