Father and Son Showdown!

Howard, who had turned around, also noticed the two people who had suddenly appeared in the laboratory. Caught off guard, he was startled and almost spat out the instant noodles in his mouth.

When he finally saw who it was, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Damn Chen Mo! Why did you bring Tony along?!

Tony Stark looked at Howard with a complicated expression, who was almost unchanged from his memory. Just as he was hesitating to say something, he saw Howard suddenly move. However, instead of walking towards him as Tony expected, Howard acted as if he didn't see the two of them. He was eating instant noodles in one hand and holding a fork in the other, walking towards the laboratory door while his pace quickened.

Tony Stark stared in shock at Howard, who had suddenly become "blind," feeling as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind. "Are you just ignoring me?"

The warm and touching feeling that had just arisen because Howard was still researching New Element for him late at night vanished without a trace.

Turning around and looking at Howard, who had already reached the lab door and was about to open it and leave, Tony Stark felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising within him.

"Stop!"

Tony Stark roared at Howard.

However, Howard, feeling guilty, showed no sign of stopping and moved even faster than before!

Just as he opened the laboratory door and was about to escape from this dangerous place, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind him.

Howard's expression changed, and he stopped in his tracks, turning around to look.

Tony Stark charged at him angrily, his right fist clenched, aiming to punch him from behind.

Although surprised by Tony's speed, Howard instinctively raised his hand to parry. With his left hand holding the instant noodles, it was inconvenient, so he could only raise his right hand, which was holding a plastic fork, to block Tony's attack.

However, this move not only blocked Tony's attack, but after their arms collided and stopped, the long instant noodles on the fork continued to swing forward like a whip due to the momentum of his raised hand, hitting Tony's face directly and smearing him with soup, while also leaving a red mark from the burn.

Thanks to his healing ability, the red mark quickly disappeared, but Tony's face turned completely red, and his eyes almost shot out fire!

Howard was first shocked by Tony's strength, which was in no way inferior to his own. Then, when he saw the instant noodles being slapped in Tony's face, it was too late to stop him. Finally, seeing the murderous look on Tony's face, which was splattered with instant noodle soup and seasoning, Howard just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

But it was clearly too late!

"Howard, you coward!"

Tony Stark roared and lunged forward again, throwing another punch. Howard, enraged by Tony's insults, thought, "No matter what, I'm your father! How dare you talk to your dad like that!"

"You brat! You have no manners! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Watching the Stark father and son fight each other at the lab entrance, Chen Mo's face was full of helplessness.

They were about to make up, so why isn't this going according to plan? Why did they suddenly start fighting? Are you two father and son, or are you just sworn enemies?

I could hear the two people at the lab entrance fighting while also exchanging words.

Why did you leave me behind?!

"With your playboy ways back then, you had no right to even know about S.H.I.E.L.D..! Even now, you're not qualified to join S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"With you as the director, I'd rather die than join S.H.I.E.L.D..!"

"I won't accept you even if you want to join!"

"I refuse to join!"

"I won't accept it!"

The two were evenly matched in strength, physical attributes, and fighting skills. They were both mediocre, so their fight was evenly matched, but their verbal sparring was more intense than their actual combat.

However, seeing that the two were getting increasingly angry as they fought, and that things were about to escalate to the point of serious conflict, Chen Mo shook his head and prepared to intervene and stop them.

However, someone arrived before him.

"Howard, stop!"

A gentle yet anxious woman's voice rang out from outside the laboratory door. The two people who were fighting fiercely stopped at the same time upon hearing this.

Tony Stark, hearing that incredibly familiar, gentle voice, turned his head with a look of surprise and delight towards the laboratory door.

A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties was standing outside the door looking at Tony with an excited expression. Her eyes were red and glistening with tears, and she was about to cry.

This woman is none other than Tony Stark's mother, Maria Stark, who faked her death along with Howard!

The fight between Tony and his son at the lab entrance had already alerted S.H.I.E.L.D.. After discovering that the person fighting with their director was his son, they immediately notified Maria.

Tony Stark, who was furious with his father Howard, softened instantly in front of his mother Maria.

"Mother!"

Tony completely ignored Howard in front of him and excitedly rushed forward to hug his mother Maria tightly.

"Tony!"

Although Maria had been watching her son closely, this was the first time they had met in so many years. Feeling her son's embrace, which was even wider than before, she couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.

Tony Stark was equally excited. He had thought his mother was dead, but she was alive and well, and now he was holding her in his arms. Tony Stark felt incredibly happy, and his eyes reddened. He held back his tears, completely forgetting about Howard.

Howard looked at his son, who had just fought with him, now embracing his wife so intimately, and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "Your preferential treatment is too much!"

If you hugged me the moment we met, I wouldn't have to run away!

However, Howard knew in his heart that Tony Stark would run up and hug Maria, but he would never hug him, because he had never been as close to Tony as Maria had been.

In any case, today's father-son reunion battle finally came to an end after Tony Stark's mother, Maria, made a timely appearance.

Although today's events were somewhat out of control, Chen Mo was not entirely surprised by the two men's performance.

It's no wonder that two people who are both too proud to express their feelings can't have a pleasant conversation!

Even when they're apart, they miss each other terribly, but when they do meet, they insist on pretending to be something they're not.

Especially Howard, that idiot, who, out of guilt, actually chose to run away, completely ruining the situation that Chen Mo had worked so hard to create. Chen Mo could only sigh that he was hopeless!

Serves you right!
