"I was wondering why this guy sounded like he was in some melodramatic scene where he was leaving his final wishes..."
In an instant, Li Si's thoughts raced as he pieced together what was going on. He wasn't sure whether to sigh or make fun of it.
Wasn't this exactly Tony Stark's way of leaving his final wishes? Only, instead of leaving a person behind, he was leaving behind the identity of Iron Man.
