Chapter 22: The Same Expression
"Uncle Obadiah, hello!" Lan Xingyu shouted to greet Obadiah, telling Pepper Potts that Obadiah had arrived.
"Why are you here?" Obadiah was momentarily stunned when he saw Lan Xingyu acting cute, before he finally spoke.
"Sister Potts said she wanted to organize some things, so I came along to look around. I've never been here before! It's so big here, and what's that circle down there? Do you know, Uncle Obadiah?"
"Oh, that? That's the Arc Reactor. Just one of those can provide power for this entire building," Obadiah said.
"Wow! That's amazing! Uncle Obadiah is so amazing too, knowing everything!" Lan Xingyu continued to stall for time for Pepper Potts.
Flattered by the praise, Obadiah's guard lowered slightly.
"It's nothing! After all, I've worked here for a long time."
"So how long has Uncle Obadiah worked here?"
"A long time. I was working with Tony's father while he was still alive, and I've been here ever since."
"Wow! That long!" Lan Xingyu continued his efforts.
"Yes, most of my life..." Obadiah seemed to fall into a memory.
At this moment, Pepper Potts had finished copying the files and secretly hid them among some useless document Materials.
She said to Lan Xingyu, "Alright Xingyu, don't bother Uncle Obadiah anymore. Aren't you hungry? Let's go get some steak."
"Really? Great!" Lan Xingyu felt that this year's Oscars owed him an Academy Award.
"Obadiah, we're leaving first. Goodbye," Pepper Potts said, walking over to Lan Xingyu and taking his hand.
"Hmm, goodbye!" Obadiah said.
Just as they were about to leave, Obadiah called out to Pepper Potts, and her body stiffened.
"Oh, by the way, Pepper Potts. Have you seen today's newspaper?"
Hearing this, Pepper Potts let out a sigh of relief. "It seems to be on the table, you should look for it."
"Hmm, alright, I'll look for it. You go ahead! Goodbye."
Once outside, Pepper Potts took Lan Xingyu and walked quickly to the elevator to head downstairs, while Lan Xingyu kept rubbing his face. My god, what have I done? Ahhh! I've disgusted myself. If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to Tony. I can't face anyone, I want to bury myself!
Ignoring Lan Xingyu's internal struggle and Pepper Potts' nervousness, let's turn our attention to Obadiah. Obadiah, having not found the newspaper, suddenly noticed the download-complete dialog box on the computer, and his face instantly darkened. He rushed out and saw Pepper Potts leaving with a person in black, and Obadiah recognized that person—he was an Agent!
Obadiah's face grew even darker. He slammed his hand against the railing, seemingly having made up his mind, and drove toward Tony's house.
On Lan Xingyu's side, they met Coulson. They called Coulson over, and after explaining the situation to him, Coulson took them to S.H.I.E.L.D. to get some people. On the way, seeing that everything was fine, Lan Xingyu used the "eye" he left at Tony's house to observe how Tony was doing! It was a good thing he looked, because as soon as he did, Lan Xingyu laughed.
He saw that there was now a huge hole in the sofa. Cotton was everywhere on the floor, and Tony was desperately chasing the husky, Panda. But Panda kept avoiding him with its small size and nimble movements. Tony accidentally stepped on the cotton on the floor and landed in a "butt-first" heap. It was hilarious to Lan Xingyu.
Sure enough, happiness is built on the suffering of others! Lu Xun did not deceive me! (Lu Xun: I [expletive], did you hear that? [expletive]). Finally, Tony lay down on the sofa with the big hole in it to rest. Looking at his expression, he was already in despair.
Seeing that Tony was okay for now, Lan Xingyu stopped paying attention to him, as they had already arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson asked Lan Xingyu and the others to wait in the car for a while, saying he would be right back.
Only now did Pepper Potts start to calm down, and she grabbed Lan Xingyu next to her and vented on his cheeks.
"Sister Potts, Coulson is coming back, put me down."
But Pepper Potts didn't listen to Lan Xingyu at all and continued to frantically pinch Lan Xingyu's face. So, when Coulson walked in, he saw Lan Xingyu's face changing shape at an incredible speed.
Pepper Potts kept pinching until Coulson had opened the door for a while before she stopped. Her mood instantly lightened; pinching little Xingyu was indeed the most satisfying thing. And our Xingyu was already lying on the chair, life-less, with the same expression as Tony...
After a while, Lan Xingyu recovered and began to check on how Tony was doing!
He saw that Tony's reactor had already been taken by Obadiah, and he was now crawling toward the direction of the reactor Lan Xingyu had left behind.
Tony was in despair. The uncle he regarded as his only family was actually the murderer who had harmed him. But he couldn't die yet; he still had atonement to make. This thought supported him as he crawled bit by bit toward where Lan Xingyu had been playing on the computer. But when he reached the table leg, he couldn't get up, he couldn't even climb onto the stool nearby!
When Lan Xingyu saw Tony couldn't climb up and was about to go save him, a little dog pushed the glass containing the reactor down. Lan Xingyu felt relieved.
Tony saw the reactor fall from the table, looked at the husky, and muttered, "Panda! Good boy!" After saying that, he shattered the glass that wasn't completely broken. He took out the reactor and installed it on himself. He didn't leave the reactor for as long as in the original story, so Tony stood up shortly after installing it. He was going to put on the armor and then go settle the score with Obadiah.
Meanwhile, Lan Xingyu and the others had arrived at Stark Industries. Several people got out of the car and followed Pepper Potts to Production Room 16.
"My card won't open this!" Pepper Potts said, a bit urgently.
"It's okay, move aside!" Coulson took out a small device and placed it on the door lock.
"Wow, what is this? A small gadget?" Pepper Potts asked when she saw the small thing Coulson took out.
"You'd better step back a few paces!" Coulson said.
"Right, yes, no problem." Pepper Potts pushed a curious Lan Xingyu further away.
Then came a sound and a small boom, and the door opened.
"Little friend, you can't go in now," Coulson said to Lan Xingyu. Then he took the others and followed Pepper Potts inside.
"So, what kind of operation is this? You block the god-tier player outside during a team fight and send in four unprepared squishies first?" Lan Xingyu thought. There was no other way, he cast an invisibility spell, "invisible," and followed them in.
Inside, it was pitch black. They searched everywhere but couldn't find anything, though they did see the first-generation Iron Man Suit. At this moment, Pepper Potts seemed to have discovered something and slowly walked in. Suddenly, two cold blue lights lit up, shining on Pepper Potts, and then slowly rose. Pepper Potts screamed and ran out, and the Agents, hearing the sound, all ran over to support.
Obadiah was very depressed. He had just gotten the reactor and was discovered. He had finally found a place to hide, only to be found by Pepper again. Now, looking at the surrounding Agents, he intended to take his anger out on these guys!
Obadiah's mecha jumped up, stretched out his hands, and smashed toward the Agents in front. Just as he was about to kill these Agents, Obadiah's expression became ferocious, but the next moment his expression turned to confusion. "Why did I fly up?"
In everyone's eyes, the Iron Monger, which was about to smash into them, suddenly seemed to have been hit by something and flew out, crashing through the floor. Everyone had the same expression as Obadiah...
