Realized it too late.
This is the Marvel Universe, so you should be more careful about what you say in the future. Otherwise, if you encounter someone with a fiery temper, like Thor, they might just smash their hammer in your face.
It's just that Tony Stark isn't in a good mood right now. If it were any other time, he probably would have hung up the phone immediately and never spoken to Ling Yi again.
Betrayed by his most trusted uncle, a gaping hole in his chest, a near-death experience of a kidnapping, killing for the first time, the impact of Yinsen's death on him...
For Tony Stark, who had always lived within the pyramids, this was both a transformative process and a painful emotional journey.
Bang bang bang!
A knock sounded on the door, Ling Yi opened it.
Tony Stark walked in, munching on a pizza.
He placed the pizza box on the coffee table, gestured to Ling Yi, and then, while looking around the room, said, "You know I can make better arrangements for you."
Ling Yi picked up a slice of pizza, took a bite, and mumbled, "What you gave me has already exceeded my expectations. I haven't helped you much."
That's what you think.
Tony Stark remained silent for a long time. Ling Yi had indeed only helped him a little, but for him at that time, Ling Yi's appearance was like a ray of light in the darkness.
At that moment, he was like a drowning man who had just crawled out of Hell, while Ling Yi, with his back to the sunlight, was like an angel illuminating the Gate of Hell, directly shattering the darkness in his heart.
He couldn't tell anyone about this feeling, not even Ling Yi; it was the most vulnerable moment in his heart.
Whenever he couldn't sleep at night and had nightmares, that figure with its back to the light would appear in his mind, and then he would calm down and stop being so anxious.
"You know I shut down the weapons department, right?"
Ling Yi nodded. The news had been all about this for the past few days, Ling Yi naturally knew about it.
"My uncle, Obadiah Stane. He Hire that bald guy to kill me. He sold Stark's weapons to those Madman."
"I don't understand. He earns tens of billions every year, enough money to last several lifetimes. He's not young anymore; he could easily enjoy his retirement and live a luxurious life."
Tony stood on the balcony, watching the clouds rise and fall in the sky, his expression pained.
The movie doesn't provide much information about Obadiah Stane's identity, but in reality, Tony Stark and Obadiah Stane were very close when they were young.
Especially after the passing of Tony Stark's parents, Obadiah Stane can be considered Tony Stark's only remaining family.
He holds a very important place in Tony Stark's heart.
This betrayal was a huge blow to Tony Stark.
"I was an orphan from a young age, and I grew up in an orphanage," Ling Yi said slowly.
"Back then, I was very small and thin, and I was often bullied. No matter how much I hid in a corner or tried to make myself as small as possible, there were still a few guys who would find all sorts of reasons to bully me."
"It wasn't until Later that I realized that during one of the orphanage's candy distributions, the director saw that I was small and thin, so he gave me an extra piece. That was the only reason I was bullied by them for over ten years in the orphanage."
"People only ever see what they perceive as unfair. If even a piece of candy elicits such reactions, imagine how unfair it is to hand over the vast Stark Industries to a good-for-nothing like you. I bet your uncle, like those who bullied me, also thinks it's unfair."
"Isn't that unfair?" Tony murmured.
"In my eyes, your uncle is nothing more than a doorman left to the Stark Family by your parents. The Stark Family giving him to him is charity; not giving him to them is just being a doorman."
Tony frowned; Ling Yi's words made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Seeing Tony's expression, Ling Yi knew he had said too much again, so he stopped talking.
This was also the first time Ling Yi had spoken so much in front of outsiders, and even Ling Yi himself found it unbelievable.
"Then, what should I do?" Tony asked, glancing at Ling Yi.
"Gou has gone mad. Either kill him or lock him up. He won't just bite you, he'll bite the people around you too. He can't be allowed to live."
Ling Yi knew that Tony Stark wanted to give Obadiah Stane a chance, but as Ling Yi said, Obadiah Stane had gone mad and couldn't be kept around.
If Tony Stark had taken Obadiah Stane into custody as soon as he returned, there wouldn't have been the Iron Monger vs. Iron Man battle, and Pepper Potts wouldn't have been put in dangerous situations several times.
"If you can't bear to do it, I can help you," Ling Yi said finally.
Tony Stark glanced at Ling Yi with surprise, wondering where Ling Yi got the confidence to say such a thing.
Obadiah Stane is always surrounded by a large number of bodyguards. As an ordinary person, Ling Yi probably couldn't even break through to get close to Obadiah Stane.
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help," Tony Stark, ending the conversation and preparing to leave.
Ling Yi's words, though direct, made a lot of sense, which led Tony Stark to make a decision.
But he didn't want to rely on others for this kind of thing; that wasn't Tony Stark's style.
" Mr. Stark, thank you so much for your help. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time surviving in this so-called free country." Ling Yi once again expressed his gratitude to Tony Stark for his previous assistance.
The $5 million is one thing, but the more important thing is those documents.
"Just call me Tony, that's what my friends call me. See you later."
Tony waved and walked out of the room.
Ling Yi smiled slightly. He hadn't expected Tony to come to him to "confide" in him, and he certainly hadn't expected Tony to actually listen to him.
No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.
Hopefully, the Combat between Iron Man and Iron Monger will be easier than it appears in the movies.
In the following days, Ling Yi continued to grind and level up in the "dungeon" of Hell's Kitchen.
The existence of " Ghost " has finally come to the attention of all the gangs in Hell's Kitchen.
The " Ghost " had gone on a killing spree, with the number of Ghost dying at their hands increasing from a few or a dozen per day to dozens or Later hundreds.
Every night, Hell's Kitchen reeks of blood, and every morning, large numbers of corpses are hauled out.
There wasn't a single good person in Hell's Kitchen; Ling Yi had given the Skeleton Warrior an order to kill indiscriminately.
This allowed Ling Yi to reach level 12 in just half a month.
All skill points were still allocated to Raise Skeleton.
Raise Skeleton lv15(+): Currently, you can Raise Skeleton warriors (Note: No corpses are needed; Skeleton Warrior from the Realm of the Dead Summon using a magic circle). Skeleton Warrior lv15, HP 1200 (+80 per level), melee attack 75 (+5 per level), Physics defense 25 (+2 per level), magic defense 25 (+2 per level), speed 15 (+1 per level).
The level 15 Skeleton Warrior is even more powerful, and is invincible, at least in Hell's Kitchen.
However, Ling Yi knew he should stop for a while.
It wasn't that Ling Yi was worried about the Skeleton Warrior being ambushed by the gangs in Hell's Kitchen, but rather that he didn't want to clear out the "dungeon" of Hell's Kitchen.
Hell's Kitchen needs a recovery period; after all, if such a great "dungeon" for experience is gone, it won't be easy to find such a good place again.
On Ling Yi's twenty-first day in the Marvel Universe, the Combat between Iron Monger and Iron Man finally begins.
The Iron Monger's massive body burst Berserk out of the Stark Tower's basement.
The agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D. along the way were blown to pieces by a volley of missiles fired by the Iron Monger.
Pepper Potts, under the cover of Coulson and Natasha, fled at top speed, but the Iron Monger's speed clearly exceeded their expectations.
According to the original plot, Iron Man should have appeared at this point, but clearly, Tony was late.
Pepper Potts was shoved aside by Coulson, leaving him exposed to the Iron Monger's fists.
If that punch lands, Coulson will be killed off before the events of Avengers 1 even begin.
And at that very moment...
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of heavy thuds echoed as objects fell to the ground.
Fifteen "people" dressed in black robes and wearing masks and sunglasses appeared around Iron Monger.
" Ghost?" Coulson's eyes narrowed. Others might not know what these "people" were, but he did.
With the " Ghost " causing such a huge mess in Hell's Kitchen, how could it possibly go unnoticed by the S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Unfortunately, the " Ghost " appeared Shadowless without a trace, and they had no way to contact Ghost.
Therefore, until now, all that is known is that the " Ghost " exists and has been assessed as "extremely dangerous," but no other information is available.
Iron Monger was also startled by the sudden appearance of these " Ghost," but he was unaware of Ghost existence and assumed they were Hire sent by Tony.
Obadiah Stane grinned maliciously, controlling the Gatling gun, ready to wipe out these " Hire." He could almost foresee the scene of these Hire being torn to pieces.
However, the next moment, Obadiah Stane felt a tremendous force slam into him.
The terrifying impact sent Iron Monger flying sideways.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Coulson quickly withdrew and escaped to a distance to reunite with Natasha, Pepper Potts, and the others.
Next, the Iron Monger was like a giant bowling ball, surrounded by the " Ghost," being kicked around and rolled about.
The scene was strangely funny.
"How did Ghost end up here?" Natasha asked, frowning.
"Let's try to see if we can talk to the Ghost later." Coulson shook his head; they knew too little about the " Ghost."
"Are these strange people the Ghost you're talking about?" Pepper Potts asked.
"Perhaps they aren't human, but it seems his target is Obadiah."
"No, their target should be the Iron Man Armor."
"No matter the reason, the Iron Man Armor must not be taken by the Ghost."
The " Ghost " didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Obadiah Stane, and kept hammering him.
The poor Iron Monger's armor was so badly damaged by the hammer that the outer layer was Shapeshifting, and some of the joint lines were completely destroyed, turning it into a Ironhide can.
Only when a handsome figure in Hong Jin appeared in the air did these " Ghost " stop, disperse slightly, and maintain a posture of surrounding without attacking.
It was Tony who arrived, and upon seeing these Ghost, Tony instinctively thought of Ling Yi.
" JARVIS, locate Ling Yi's position."
"Sir, Mr. Ling Yi is on the rooftop at the nine o'clock position, 617 meters away from you."
Tony's lips curled into a smile. "As expected, this guy is no ordinary person."
