Three idiots...
Such a title is undoubtedly highly contemptuous and insulting!
The sheer magnitude of the impact of such a title on Sand King, the third leader of the Ten Commandments, is beyond anyone's imagination.
After hearing Tony Stark's words, the Sand King's men had only one thought in their minds:
Oh no, I can't complete the boss's orders.
The Mandarin's orders to them were to bring Tony Stark back alive.
But what did that bastard Tony Stark just do?
He actually insulted Lord Sand King without any attempt to hide it. Given Lord Sand King's violent temper, wouldn't he have slapped the latter's head to pieces?
The Sand King's men immediately became very sad.
The Mandarin's orders were not fulfilled, and the Sand King might face some punishment, but given his status, it would be negligible.
But their subordinates were in a terrible situation; there was absolutely no chance of them escaping unscathed!
Just as these subordinates were filled with anxiety, something astonishing happened.
Because they discovered that after Tony Stark spoke, their Sand King, although his face darkened, did not show extreme rage.
Instead, he gave them orders with a dark expression:
"You guys stay here, I'll go over and talk to them."
Having said that, he strode towards Clark without any sign of being on guard.
...
"Are they really three idiots?"
Seeing Tony Stark shout and Sand King react in this way, Clark understood.
The big guy opposite us, the third leader of the Ten Rings Gang, really is one of the "Three Idiots"!
Who are the three idiots?
Most people don't know this.
However, the mutant graduates of St. Kent College in recent years had heard some of these rumors.
This guy was known for his goofy demeanor and silly grin when he was in school, and he was also the third child in his family because of his talent for playing with sand.
Thus, the nickname came about: San Shazi (Three Sands).
However, the phrase "Three Sands" is not as catchy as "Three Fools".
So the three sands became the three idiots.
This guy was two grades ahead of Bloodfang Antonio back then, and their strength was about the same.
Bloodfang Antonio is stronger in close combat, while the Three Idiots are better at team fights.
The two had once worked as mercenaries in the chaotic central region.
Antonio later returned to St. Kent College and became its security captain.
The three idiots, however, never returned and their whereabouts remain unknown.
Tony Stark knew Sansa because he knew him and had even considered hiring him as his bodyguard.
But the three idiots refused.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and now we meet under these circumstances...
It can only be said that the students taught by Kent have left their mark all over the world.
There's an old saying in the East: "His students are all over the world." Old Kent certainly deserves that title!
...
"I never expected it to really be you..."
Tony stared in disbelief as the Sand King strode towards him.
He still has a dreamlike quality to him.
After all, it's unbelievable that a major leader of an opposing organization would turn out to be one of one's former classmates.
To be precise, he should be called a senior.
Tony Stark was elected one year later than Antonio, and Antonio was elected two years later than Shah.
If we convert it that way, Sand King is three years ahead of Tony Stark.
Tony gave a bitter smile:
"No wonder you didn't agree when I asked you to be my bodyguard... In the blink of an eye, you've become the leader of the Ten Commandments."
Tony Stark shook his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.
He was a prisoner not long ago.
The Sand King was clearly a big figure in the Ten Commandments, and the relationship between the two was undeniably one of hostility.
Former seniors and juniors, upon meeting again, had become enemies.
This was difficult for the emotional Tony to accept.
Clark remained expressionless, only frowning as he stared at the Sand King with a somewhat cold gaze.
The Sand King was hesitant to meet Clark's gaze, and greeted him from the side:
"Hello, Clark, junior."
Among the graduates of St. Kent Academy, some may not know Tony Stark, but they will certainly know Clark.
After all, the latter was Kent's adopted son, and had been raised by Kent since childhood.
Anyone who attended St. Kent College knows Clark.
Clark gave a snort, his expression unfriendly:
"I was in a good mood at first, but seeing you like this has made me feel so bad."
"Antonio has reformed and found a job at the school. You idiot, I don't care what path you choose, but the old man certainly won't be happy!"
The Sand King's face was somewhat grim, but he still forced himself to explain:
"Junior Clark, everyone's choices... are ultimately different."
"But don't worry, junior, I have never forgotten everything I did in the academy."
"This time, the Mandarin personally ordered the capture of Tony. I didn't dare let anyone else do it because I was afraid they would hurt Tony with their clumsy hands. That's why I made a special trip here."
"Don't worry, Clark. Even if you hadn't come, Tony would have been fine with me by his side."
The Sand King's words were sincere.
He was the third leader of the Ten Commandments Gang. For a small matter like capturing someone, he could easily send one of his men. There was no need for him to be there in person.
The reason he came here in person was ultimately because he was worried about Tony's safety.
No one in the Ten Commandments could disobey the Mandarin's orders, and the Sand King couldn't let Tony Stark go without a reason. All he could do was try his best to ensure Tony Stark's safety.
Then, within your capabilities, do Tony Stark some favors.
Tony was quick-witted and intelligent enough to tell that what the Sand King said was true.
My heart felt a little warmer.
