Unfortunately, in the end, everyone still didn't get to see the billionaire publicly relieve himself.
Because another Iron Man suit appeared on the scene.
"The party's over, everyone out!"
The newcomer was Tony's good friend, Colonel Rhodes.
He had put on an Iron Man suit, ready to forcibly end this farce.
But Daniel saw through it at a glance.
This was clearly Tony intentionally letting him wear it.
Otherwise, how could someone without authorization possibly wear an Iron Man suit? Did he really think Jarvis, the super-intelligent A.I., didn't exist?
"How boring."
Daniel shook his head, his appearance, as if he wished for chaos, left Natasha speechless.
She regretted it.
If she let this guy persuade Tony, she was afraid Tony wouldn't even last 72 hours.
Natasha quickly said, "You keep an eye on Tony here, I'll go report the situation to the Director."
With that, she immediately turned and left.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the two Iron Man suits were already fighting, wildly punching each other with iron fists.
They fought from the living room to the gym, from the second floor to the first floor.
For a time, Tony and Rhodes's passionate struggle left traces everywhere in the mansion.
By the end, both of them were enraged, charging their repulsor rays and simultaneously firing a beam of energy at each other.
Boom!!
The two energy blasts collided violently, instantly erupting a powerful Impact that spread outwards!
Fortunately, the crowd inside had been evacuated beforehand, otherwise, Tony and Rhodes's combat record would surely have suddenly gained dozens of casualties.
When the dust settled, Rhodes, wearing the silver Iron Man suit, flew away without looking back, leaving Tony lying alone in the ruins.
Daniel kicked away the broken panel in front of him, walked up to Tony, and tapped the Iron Man mask with a bent finger.
"Hey, are you dead?"
"Not yet."
The Iron Man mask opened, revealing Tony's utterly exhausted face.
And on his neck, black blood vessels were clearly visible, spreading upwards like circuit patterns.
NPC: Tony Stark
Codename: Iron Man
Affection: 70
Rating: The representative of 'Rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation,' Tony Stark, Marvel Kryptonian.
Status: Palladium poisoning
Good heavens, in one day, he'd gathered two representatives of 'Rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation.'
Daniel looked at Tony's miserable state and asked curiously, "You were fine before, how did you suddenly become like this?"
Tony was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "It's the Arc Reactor. Its energy core is palladium. Every time a palladium plate is consumed, a small portion of the element seeps into my bloodstream, gradually destroying my circulatory system."
"But didn't you say that one palladium plate was enough to power the reactor for decades?"
"That's under minimum power operation. As soon as I put on the armor, energy consumption increases dramatically. I've been looking for a substitute for palladium, trying all possible ratios of all known elements, but ultimately without success."
Perhaps he had held it in for too long, Tony blurted out his situation all at once.
Daniel asked in confusion, "So why don't you just install the Arc Reactor on the Iron Man suit? That way, the palladium wouldn't flow into your body, right?"
Tony: "..."
That's right! Why didn't I think of that!?
Tony said with a mournful face, "It's too late, it's already too late."
There is basically no treatment for palladium poisoning.
After all, no one in history has ever installed a miniature nuclear reactor in their chest. Tony can be said to be the first, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to name this disease after him.
"It's just a poisoning debuff, is it necessary to be so dramatic?"
Daniel said, pulling out a strangely green potion from his game inventory.
Item: Antidote Potion (Can cure all poisoning statuses. Synthesis materials include poison glands, seaweed, and coral)
Before Tony could even ask.
Daniel directly opened the bottle cap, pinched open Tony's mouth, and poured it in.
"Mmm mmm--!"
Tony was too weak to resist and was forced to drink the viscous green liquid in the bottle.
"Damn it! What the hell did you make me drink?" Tony only felt a strange taste rush to his head.
"An antidote potion. See for yourself."
Daniel pulled out a small mirror and held it up to Tony's face.
Through the mirror, Tony was shocked to find that all the black patterns on his neck had disappeared!
At the same time, a long-lost sense of lightness flowed through his body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted!
"Sir, the palladium content in your body has dropped to less than 1%, and the symptoms of palladium poisoning have disappeared." Jarvis's voice sounded at the opportune moment.
It actually disappeared!
And it wasn't just alleviated, it was completely cured!
Tony was somewhat incredulous.
The palladium poisoning that had plagued him for many days and was considered incurable, was it really solved by a bottle of unknown green liquid?
"You saved me again."
Tony looked at Daniel with a complex expression.
Counting it, this was the third time Daniel had saved his life.
Daniel waved his hand indifferently, "It's a small matter, consider it a reward for all the fun you provided me tonight."
He took out his phone, opened the album, and played a highlight reel from tonight.
It was the clip of Tony publicly drinking his own urine.
"When I run out of money later, I'll post this video and make a huge fortune. I've even thought of the title: Shocking! Iron Man drinks urine in public!"
Tony: "..."
I feel like I'd rather just die!
Not long after, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents arrived on the scene.
Leading them was none other than Director Nick Fury, who had finally left his office.
And behind him was Natasha, who had changed into a sharp black combat suit.
Tony looked at Natasha's attire and said with surprise, "So you're also a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent? I can't believe you hid it so well!"
Daniel, seeing this, also sighed, "I'm sorry, Tony, actually, I'm also an undercover Agent. I've been hiding by your side as a bodyguard all this time. I bet you couldn't have guessed that, right?"
Tony's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
No, I totally guessed it. Anyone who isn't blind could tell you're an undercover Agent.
Next, Nick Fury ordered all S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to leave the second-floor hall; he wanted to talk to Tony alone.
Daniel and Natasha came to the first-floor hall.
Under Natasha's speechless gaze, Daniel naturally opened a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, then tilted his head and stared at the ceiling with relish.
"What are you looking at?"
Natasha noticed Daniel staring at the ceiling and was somewhat confused.
"The subtitles."
Daniel took a sip of wine, with an expression like he'd discovered a new continent: "I didn't expect Tony's father to be one of our S.H.I.E.L.D. founders. This intelligence is a Level 8 secret. Did you know about this?"
Natasha: "..."
I'm only a Level 7 Agent. I don't know anything, and I didn't hear anything.
