After Arthur had said that, he had the feeling that there had been a big misunderstanding.
Especially Tony's face, which had gone from a terrible pallor to an alarming mix of black and white, with a touch of green and a hint of blue. If Arthur didn't say something soon, Tony might become angry enough to die on the spot.
"Misunderstanding, this is a huge misunderstanding! What do kids think these days?"
Arthur explained quickly, "When I used to drink with your father, he often got so drunk that he couldn't get up. I had to grab him by the collar and take him home. So it's not surprising that I know your dad's weight!"
"You…who are you?"
Tony struggled to breathe, not sure if it was because his heart was not pumping enough blood or because of Arthur's words.
The elevator doors opened, and Arthur's eyes immediately landed on the Arc Reactor on the table.
It was enclosed in a glass case and looked like a display item.
Arthur carried Tony over to the table, smashed the glass, and removed the Arc Reactor. After adjusting the connections, he placed it firmly in Tony's chest.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!"
The surge of energy made Tony scream. The sweat on his forehead began to dissipate, and his complexion slowly regained some color.
"Who exactly are you?"
Tony's first concern was Arthur's identity.
Arthur blinked: "Would you believe me if I said I was here to borrow money?"
"Mr. I am going to be a God?" Tony frowned.
Arthur was surprised: "Is my voice really that distinctive?"
"No, I recognized you by the way you spoke," Tony said with intense concentration. "And among the people I know, you're the only one who would talk about my father like that!"
Arthur thought for two seconds before speaking: "So, are you thinking of calling me 'Godfather'?"
Tony looked around and Arthur wondered, "What are you looking for?"
"I remember there was a wrench here, but it's missing," Tony said with a dark expression, obviously ready to take it out on Arthur.
"Now might not be the best time for you to take your frustrations out on me," Arthur said. "Although I don't know exactly what happened, you seem to be in a pretty bad situation."
As he spoke, someone called out from outside, "Tony, Tony!"
"I'm here, I'm fine!"
Tony replied quickly.
Soon a black man walked in and stopped when he saw Arthur, "Who are you?"
"Mr. God!" Arthur replied.
"…" The black man took a moment to process. What the hell kind of a name is that?
"Where's Pepper?" Tony didn't introduce them, and in fact, he hoped no one would know of Arthur's presence, if possible.
"She took five agents to catch Stane!"
"Believe me, five agents are not going to be enough!"
"Where did the agents come from?" Arthur blinked.
He shouldn't have said anything. As soon as he spoke, the black man asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Monster!" Arthur replied.
"Huh?"
"Anyway, I have to leave immediately!"
Tony abruptly interrupted their conversation and walked to a corner of the basement where he changed into his suit.
To be honest, it looked incredibly cool.
As he stood, the suit activated and began to cover Tony from head to toe!
The Arc Reactor on his chest flashed with light and the suit's 'eyes' opened!
"What are you going to do?" Tony asked Arthur.
"I'm going to catch a flight," Arthur said as he came up behind Iron Man and grabbed his shoulders.
"Anything I can do to help?" The black man asked.
"Keep the airways clear!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Tony's palms turned downward and a burst of energy ignited from his hands. In an instant, they shot into the sky!
With the roof above him, Tony, intentionally or not, carried Arthur through several layers of the roof and soared into the sky.
Tony's armor was undamaged, but Arthur looked disheveled, like someone who had just escaped a catastrophe.
"This is personal revenge!"
Arthur grabbed Tony's armor with one hand and rubbed his head with the other.
The damage wasn't enough to be severe, but it was really painful!
"You're definitely not a normal person!" Tony's voice came through as they were hurtling towards New York at an insane speed.
At that speed, Arthur was still able to speak casually, which was clearly abnormal.
"If I were a normal person, I'd be dead from the impact! Your father wouldn't keep guessing like you do."
Arthur said, "I came to see you about something, but it looks like you might not have time now!"
"Stop mentioning my dad!"
Iron Man seemed a little frustrated as he spoke: "Did you really come to borrow money from me?"
As he spoke, he started to make a phone call.
Arthur didn't mind and said, "Of course. You're the only rich person I know."
"That's not possible!"
Then Arthur heard a familiar female voice asking in confusion, "What's not possible?"
"No, I'm not talking to you. Pepper, get out of there right now!"
"Hey, Pepper? Long time no see!"
Arthur joined the conversation.
"Oh my God, Arthur, is that you?"
"How do you two know each other?" Tony asked in shock.
In the midst of the confusion, Arthur realized that somehow they had already traveled from Malibu Beach to the skies over New York.
This insane speed!
It had taken Arthur almost two hours to fly here, and now? Ten minutes?
Tony's speed suddenly slowed and he said, "I hope you don't die falling out of the sky!"
"What?"
Arthur was surprised to feel Tony's downward force suddenly increase. At the same time, a large metal object appeared in front of him!
Tony, in his current action, charged at the object with relentless force.
"You are ruthless!"
Arthur abruptly let go and disappeared into the air.
Meanwhile, Tony slammed the metal object into the ground with a loud crash, leaving a large crater and leaving Pepper staring at the edge of the crater in shock.
In a flash, Arthur appeared next to Pepper and let out a sigh, saying, "To be honest, that flight was quite exhilarating!"
"Arthur?" Pepper turned at the sound of his voice and saw his clothes. "So it was you who fought the Lizard on the roof?"
Arthur blinked: "What? By the way, how did the name 'Instructor' become so famous? I think I only used it once…"
"No, Tony!"
Pepper ignored Arthur's comments and immediately abandoned any plans to catch up with him. She began searching for Tony's whereabouts.
