Chapter 68: 68 - Priest
Chapter 68: 68 - Priest
"Regarding what happened in the Stark industries' area last night, an official statement has been released to the public. Some witnesses claimed that a machine went out of control in the Stark industrial area last night. Fortunately, Tony Stark..."
At the moment, the press conference jointly held by Stark Industry and the military was playing on the TV screen. The spokesperson of the military on the television was Colonel Rhodes, Tony's friend, he was also the one who wore the War Machine armor in future.
After Rhodes completed, Tony's figure appeared on the TV screen. He came to the podium and casually read from the parchment in his hand, but he was forcibly interrupted by a female reporter before he could say a few words.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr Stark but, do you think we'll believe that?"
Under the questions from the female reporter, Tony simply threw away the parchment.
"No, you know what..."
"I am Iron Man!"
After the words were heard, the press conference exploded in an instant.
Looking at Rhode's face that was full of surprise, Derrick knew without guessing the words full of praise he would be saying to Tony.
Peter, sitting beside Derrick, shifted his eyes from the computer to the TV, and said excitedly, "Tony Stark is actually Iron Man?!"
When the two steel armors were fighting on the highway last night, some people who were not afraid of death took videos and posted them on the Internet.
Peter also watched some videos at his school this morning, and even cheered for Mark III in the video. After all, Peter really liked the build of Mark III, making Peter a loyal fan of the Mark III.
But the Iron Monger armor was different. It was old-fashioned and had no special features. It was not as good-looking as Mark III either.
It looked like how a villain would in the comics.
Peter swore at that time that the battle suit he would make in the future would definitely not be as ugly as the Iron Monger armor, otherwise it would be embarrassing to wear it.
"Huh? The big armor?"
Peter seemed to remember something, and turned to look at the Iron Monger armor's blueprints on the screen.
Old fashioned, featureless, bulky
'Isn't this the ugly steel armor from the video?'
Peter looked at Derrick with a sad face, "You are lying. This was not given to me by a superhero at all."
Hearing this, Derrick was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "I'm not lying to you, this is indeed a battle suit, and you also know this superhero. It's Tony Stark, who is on TV right now. This armor was his first suit too."
"So you meanTony Stark gave his first suit to me?" Peter couldn't believe it.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, I still have a video of Tony Stark right here." Derrick took out the video camera, dragged the timeline to the beginning to show it to Peter.
As a result, Peter saw the scene of Iron Monger grabbing Mark III and smashing it down.
Little Peter: "..."
Seeing that Peter's expression was not right, Derrick looked at the camera, "Oh no, I made a mistake. I'll correct it right now."
As Derrick spoke, he forwarded the video a bit.
In the picture, the Iron Monge armor firmly stomped on Mark III.
"..."
Seeing Tony Stark, the Iron Man, being beaten to pulp by Iron Monger armor, unconsciously, the image of Tony in Peter's heart had fallen a little.
Derrick felt that Peter's mood should not discourage him too much. After all, it is a good thing for him to have a goal, so he comforted him, "Don't look at Tony Stark being hammered down, in fact, the Mark III he wore is much better. If it weren't for the wrong ways used by the big guy, this would've never happened and moreover, this armor, as I told you, was also made by Tony Stark."
Derrick pointed to the Mark 1 that was hung by an iron chain, "So, in a sense, this steel armor blueprint also belongs to Tony Stark.
Hearing his words, Peter finally felt better.
Then, Derrick looked serious, " Peter, do you know why Tony Stark gave you the blueprints?"
Peter thought for a while and then said, "In order to encourage me. I have to work hard."
"No, wrong!"
"To remind me to be careful of villains who might try to steal my suit."
"NO."
"So that I don't plagiarize his design?"
"It's still wrong. Think more."
Derrick shook his head and explained earnestly, "The purpose of his doing this is definitely to help you make a high-tech battle suit that can defeat him, beat him like a rag doll."
"How is that possible, no one would like to be pushed to the ground and have someone surpass them."
Peter looked disbelieving, although he was still young, Derrick couldn't fool him so easily.
"You don't believe me again? I have evidence for that too here."
Derrick forwarded the video to the end and handed it to Peter, "Look, after being hammered down, you can see how happy he is to be smiling like that."
Tony's bitter face appeared on the screen in an instant, the smile could barely be seen by Peter, and what attracted more attention was the tattered Mark III on his body, matching with Tony's smile.
"He's smiling so forcefully."
"It's not forced, but happy, too happy to laugh." Derrick corrected Peter's words, "Wait until you make a high-tech battle suit and beat Tony Stark to the ground. He will definitely be very happy in his heart, because this is the best tribute for idols from their fans."
Peter imagined the battle suit he made hitting Tony and beating him.
"I see, I'm going to make a battle suit and beat Tony Stark!"
"That's right, if Tony Stark knew about your determination, he'd be too happy to even smile!" Derrick patted his thigh excitedly, "Since the atmosphere here is so..."
"I'm going to study now."
Before Derrick finished speaking, Peter ran out of the garage quickly.
Derrick raised his eyebrows, how could he feel that this kid was getting better and better.
For the first time since his transmigration, Derrick had a true smile on his face.
Not dwelling on that too much, Derrick started looking at his achievement system.
