Tony finished making the Iron Man Armor and took it for a test flight.
However, due to icing issues, he crashed and almost had an accident.
After resolving this problem, Tony noticed the charity gala.
He was the host, so how could he not be there?
Tony washed up, changed his clothes, and drove his luxury car to the venue.
After some searching, he found Pepper and Su Yi on the balcony.
Pepper was a bit flustered by the interruption, "I, I'm going to get a drink."
"Tony, Pepper is just your assistant. Can't she date and have her own life?"
Tony didn't object, "Yeah, I absolutely support Pepper having her own life, but I feel that you and Pepper are completely unsuitable."
"Thank you for your suggestion, Tony, but I think Pepper and I are very suitable."
Su Yi planned to go after Pepper, and Tony didn't intend to continue persuading him. Instead, he prepared to show off his Iron Man Armor to Su Yi.
At this moment, Tony was stopped by someone on the way.
"Tony Stark, I can't believe I'm seeing you here."
Tony looked at the woman in front of him, seeming to have some impression, but couldn't recall her name.
After thinking for a while, Tony tried to offer a name, "Carly."
"Christine, a newspaper reporter."
After a brief chat, Christine took out several photos.
The photos showed that his weapons had been sold again, and they had fallen into the hands of the Ten Rings Gang.
These Bandits were using these weapons to commit evil deeds and harm innocent people.
Tony was furious. He had clearly ordered the closure of the weapons department and terminated the arms trade.
However, this batch of weapons was still sold, and sold to these inhumane Bandits.
Even the suffering place was called Komira.
Tony remembered that Ethan was from Komira, and his family had suffered at the hands of the Bandits.
Now, Ethan had settled here and occasionally communicated with him.
If Ethan knew that Komira was in the midst of war and being attacked by Bandits, Ethan would definitely be very sad.
"When were these taken?"
"Yesterday."
"I didn't authorize the shipment."
"Your company approved it."
"I am not my company."
At this moment, Tony realized that what Su Yi said might be true.
Someone in the company had betrayed him, and that person was very likely Obadiah.
He had originally ordered the closure of the weapons department, and now such a thing had happened.
It was not hard to imagine that someone must have approved this batch of weapons behind his back.
Tony took the photos and left without looking back, going to find Obadiah.
Near the bar, Su Yi and Pepper were drinking together and saw Tony being stopped by Christine.
"I remember her, one of Tony's ex-girlfriends, a reporter."
"It seems Tony's taste isn't particularly good either. I think you're prettier."
Pepper was very happy to hear Su Yi's compliment.
Tony, however, was not so happy. He left with the photos and found Obadiah, who was being interviewed.
After chasing away the nearby reporters and with no outsiders to disturb them, Tony went straight to the point and raised the question.
"Do you know about these photos?"
"Do you know what happened in the town of Komira?"
Obadiah saw that Tony knew the truth and did not hide it, "Tony, you can't be so naive."
Tony was extremely angry, feeling deceived and betrayed.
Even though Su Yi had told him before, it was only now that he truly realized how painful it was to be betrayed.
Tony suppressed his anger and said, "I used to be naive. They said we wouldn't cross the line, we'd just do business. We were secretly two-faced, weren't we?"
Obadiah's expression was grim. Hearing Tony's questioning, he knew that he had to act.
Either Tony stepped down.
Or Obadiah would leave Stark Industries, or even go to prison.
Obadiah had made his decision: succeed or die trying.
Looking at the nearby reporters, Obadiah played along, "Tony, let's take a photo together."
The two, pretending to be brothers, stood in front of the reporters for a photo.
Obadiah also took the opportunity to whisper his true feelings, "Tony, who do you think is pushing you out?"
"I proposed the injunction against you. Only then could I protect you."
After speaking, Obadiah left without looking back, leaving Tony standing there, watching Obadiah's retreating figure, as if abandoned.
Tony was certain that Obadiah was the mastermind behind everything.
Watching Obadiah's figure leave, Tony also made up his mind.
Without lingering too long, Tony also left the charity gala.
Pepper saw Christine return but couldn't find Tony, feeling a little anxious.
"Tony seems to be gone."
"He must have gone back for something important."
Pepper noticed it was getting late, "Su, it's getting late, I think I should go home."
"Alright, I'll take you."
Su Yi took Pepper home. Pepper was about to go inside, still very nervous at this moment.
Should she ask Su Yi to stay, or just let him go back?
Seeing Pepper caught in a dilemma, Su Yi took the initiative and embraced Pepper.
"Good night, Pepper."
Pepper immediately calmed down, and as their eyes met, the situation began to get out of control.
Just as things were about to go too far, Pepper came back to her senses.
"Su, that's enough."
"I, I'm just not ready yet."
Seeing Pepper's slightly flustered and nervous expression, Su Yi chose not to force her.
Su Yi knew that if he continued, he might succeed in staying over.
However, Su Yi was not in a hurry; she would be his sooner or later, she couldn't escape.
"It's okay, whenever you're ready, it's fine."
"Thank you, Su."
"Good night, Pepper."
"Good night."
After seeing Pepper home, Su Yi returned to his own house.
Recalling tonight's experience, it was really just a hair's breadth away.
"Oh, what's going on? So close again."
"Mary Jane asked the Death question at the last minute, and Pepper wasn't ready."
"So, I deserve to suffer, right?"
Su Yi took a cold shower and slept comfortably.
However, at this time, Tony was nervously busy in his underground workshop.
On the computer, news was playing, showing the town of Komira being invaded by Bandits.
Tony even saw a familiar face in the news.
With a heart full of rage and a desire for redemption, Tony completed his final work.
"Jarvis, play music, assemble Iron Man Armor."
Tony stood there, and Jarvis manipulated the mechanical arms, beginning to help Tony put on the Iron Man Armor.
Accompanied by dynamic music, the Mark 3 Iron Man Armor was finally fully donned.
Finally, the mask closed!
"Jarvis!"
"Yes, Sir."
"It's time to deploy."
Energy blasted from his feet and hands, and the Iron Man Armor took off directly, flying out of the Villa and soaring into the distance!
