Besides that.
The diary also made it clear that Iron Monger Stan was Tony's "first" archenemy.
Key point: first.
That means that besides Iron Monger, Tony will have many, many more archenemies in the future!
Of course.
Tony doesn't care much about this point; an excellent and flashy man like him will always make many enemies, both openly and secretly.
Only those unremarkable mediocrities will go unnoticed.
Tony doesn't care how many enemies he has; no matter how many there are, he will ruthlessly trample them underfoot!
However, regarding Stan…
Tony Stark still intends to figure out exactly what's going on.
After all, this person is not just anyone to Tony Stark; he holds a certain significance.
[But now?]
[Shi Da Ke's armor is only half-built, and I've directly taken the blueprints!]
[Even the Ten Rings Gang members have been wiped out, including that bald man who was secretly colluding with Obadiah!]
[What the hell!]
[Obadiah definitely won't become Iron Monger, and that crucial battle won't happen!]
[Oh my, with what I've done, has Iron Man been stillborn?]
[This really shows that plans can't keep up with changes!]
[It seems like shorting Stark Group stock will have to wait for a while.]
Wait, wait a minute!
Tony Stark's expression suddenly turned grave, becoming unsightly.
Stan was secretly colluding with the Ten Rings Gang?
It must be said that Tony Stark had never expected such a thing.
Who was Obadiah Stane, after all?
Besides Tony, Stan was the most powerful and influential person in the entire Stark Group.
No exaggeration.
Stan was a formidable figure and a giant; the power and wealth he commanded placed him at the top of the pyramid throughout America.
Why would such a person collude with terrorists?
What was his motive?
Could it be~
With Tony Stark's extremely high IQ, he quickly analyzed something.
And it was precisely because of this that Tony Stark's face grew even more unsightly.
Could it be that...
All those Stark Group weapons Tony saw with the Ten Rings Gang were secretly sold by Stan?
When Tony Stark saw this scene, he was already thinking.
To be able to sell weapons to the Ten Rings Gang so quietly and without a trace, it must have been an absolute high-ranking official of the Stark Group.
But Tony Stark was unwilling to accept that the person would be Stan!
Stan, oh Stan, isn't your power enough?
Must you be so insatiably greedy?
Knowing the truth, Tony Stark was filled with heartache and disappointment.
[But it's hard to say.]
[Even if Obadiah doesn't become Iron Monger, Shi Da Ke will sooner or later discover that Obadiah sold weapons to terrorists.]
[With Shi Da Ke's personality, he can't remain indifferent!]
[He will most likely still create the Iron Man Armor and secretly continue to destroy the weapons Obadiah sold.]
It really is Stan!
Tony Stark's heart sank instantly.
If the previous diary entry used a roundabout description like "secretly colluding."
Then this diary entry...
Directly stated that the person within the Stark Group who sold weapons to terrorists was Obadiah Stane!
It was Stan, whom Tony had always respected immensely!
And if that's the case…
Tony Stark absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing; he must stop Stan!
How to stop him?
The diary pointed out a crystal-clear path for him, and Tony strongly agreed.
He could indeed create the Iron Man Armor to destroy all the weapons that fell into the hands of terrorists!
The weapons manufactured by the Stark Group were not for those scumbags to harm society!
Tony Stark's gaze gradually became resolute.
For the first time in his life, Tony Stark felt that his life had meaning beyond carousing and being a Playboy.
[So, even without that battle, some things wouldn't change.]
[Iron Man would probably still be active in the city and still attract Nick Fury's attention!]
[He would most likely still be recruited into the Avengers by Eyepatch.]
[However, whether he would still receive the title 'Iron Man' might not be so certain.]
Nick Fury?
Tony Stark couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart and fell into contemplation.
That name seemed familiar.
He was sure he had seen it somewhere.
Where exactly?
The Playboy frowned slightly, his mind racing as he thought deeply.
"Jarvis!"
And soon, Tony Stark thought of something and confirmed with his artificial intelligence, "What was the name of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"Nick Fury, sir!"
Jarvis immediately replied.
It really was him!
When he was investigating S.H.I.E.L.D. back then, he had accidentally seen this person's information.
Although he only glanced at it, with Tony Stark's extraordinary brain, he still had some memory of it.
However, when he saw this name at the time, Tony Stark didn't pay attention; he was focused on his father.
But now it seems this Nick Fury is not simple.
The superhero group mentioned in the diary, the "Avengers," was actually founded by Nick Fury?
It must be said that this was truly something Tony Stark had not expected.
"'Avengers,' so this organization was founded by Director Fury?"
Not only Tony Stark, but Black Widow also felt somewhat surprised by this.
She naturally paid attention to this future superhero group described in the diary.
But Black Widow truly hadn't expected that this superhero group was founded by her own Officer.
However, now that she knew, she didn't feel surprised.
After all, she and Hawkeye Barton also joined this so-called Avengers, becoming Avengers, didn't they?
Black Widow used to wonder.
Did she and Barton join this organization on Nick Fury's orders, or did they join it for some reason, concealing it from their Officer.
It turns out this organization was founded by her own Officer.
There's just one thing.
The diary also said that some of her Officers were HYDRA moles, and she had been working for HYDRA her entire life.
Could that be referring to her joining the Avengers?
Black Widow was unable to determine at the moment.
Some readers were very confused in the previous chapter why Tony didn't know after Stan was spoiled? That's because the previous text was modified, and the part spoiling Stan was deleted. At the time, to streamline, it was decided to move this part to later, causing confusion, I apologize. Also, it's been several days since the modification, so the chapters you are seeing now should be the modified ones, right?
