"Your praise is too kind, my lord!"
"Heh... Stark, that isn't empty praise. I'm telling the truth. There are very few people in this world I admire, but you are one of them!"
Lin Yu's expression turned serious as he continued speaking to Tony Stark with complete sincerity.
What Lin Yu said now was not flattery, nor could he be bothered to flatter anyone. He said it only because it truly was what he thought.
As one of Lin Yu's favorite movie characters, Tony Stark was someone Lin Yu understood well. Tony Stark was indeed proud, but he had every right to be.
And Tony Stark's kindness and sense of responsibility truly made him a real hero, without the slightest exaggeration.
Stark stared blankly at Lin Yu again. There was not the slightest trace of pretense on Lin Yu's face—only sincerity, affirmation, and appreciation.
"Stark, I want to ask something of you!"
This was the first time Lin Yu had spoken to one of his retainers in such a tone. Even though he knew that, if he simply ordered Stark, the system's power would ensure that the absolutely loyal Stark obeyed every instruction without a single complaint.
But this time, Lin Yu did not want to merely give an order. He held a heartfelt respect for this Marvel superhero. What Stark had done earned him the right to be treated this way.
Lin Yu believed that once Tony Stark understood Blue Star's situation, he would definitely give it everything he had, even without Lin Yu's orders.
"Don't...! My lord, there's no need for this. Just tell me what you have in mind!"
Lin Yu's words immediately left Tony Stark feeling at a loss.
His loyalty to Lin Yu had long since been branded into his very bones by the system.
