died without a complete body
"Alright, that's enough for now. I'll have the driver take you back to Stark Industries later... or your home, it's fine. I remember you're staying in a seaside villa now, right?"
Clark shrugged:
"I don't think that kind of place is reliable. You'd better find somewhere else to live. A rocket hitting the crane shaft could send your home to the bottom of the sea."
Clark descended from the rooftop with Tony and Ethan.
His blue battle suit also gradually changed, becoming somewhat blurry.
Clark took his suit from the coat rack that was provided to the side and put it on.
The incredible, magical being from before vanished, leaving behind only a successful man—the new principal of St. Kent Academy!
Tony had lost a lot of weight due to the hardships he had been going through lately.
But at this moment, seeing the amazing performance of Clark's Superman suit, he was still somewhat dumbfounded:
"What, what is this? Is it some new technology? I've never heard of it before?"
Clark glanced at him:
"Some of my personal little secrets… or you can think of them as some of St. Kent College's little secrets."
"As for other matters, they involve some confidential information, so I'm afraid I can't tell you."
Tony Stark nodded without asking any further questions.
He was really curious, but he also knew that everyone has their own secrets, and if he didn't want to reveal this technology, he probably wouldn't let anyone else know about it.
He himself has many little secrets.
For example, he's currently thinking about redeveloping and upgrading the Mark prototype he created, and then further enhancing it, which might bring unexpected surprises.
Before this, Tony had always thought Clark was very powerful, but he never imagined that the latter was this powerful.
All of this is a false proposition!
...
Having tidied his clothes and successfully transformed back into a successful man, Clark lifted Ethan up with one hand:
"You don't need to worry about Ethan's safety. St. Kent Academy has many unexpected abilities, and we will heal him."
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a tutor at St. Kent Academy. You can come and see him when you have time."
Clark looked at Tony and stated bluntly:
"Of course, I believe you won't have time to visit Ethan anytime soon; you have a lot of things to take care of yourself."
Tony gave a wry smile:
"You figured it out, Clark?"
Clark shrugged:
"Nobody's a fool. There must be a reason why you were attacked so suddenly without any provocation. You heard what Three Idiots said: even the Ten Rings didn't know your whereabouts, so how could those other small forces possibly?"
"So the most likely explanation is that something went wrong somewhere around you—of course, you'll have to figure out which link is wrong yourself; these ridiculous things have nothing to do with St. Kent Academy."
"Finally, I want to warn you one last time. Although I saved you this time, it doesn't mean St. Kent Academy will get involved in your messy affairs. You know, when the old man was alive, he hated these kinds of things the most."
Tony nodded with a wry smile, offering no rebuttal.
If he hadn't thought of this before, now he had guessed something.
The Ten Commandments Gang is the best proof of this.
Even the Ten Commandments didn't know about his convoy's movements and route. How could Ben and Big Beard possibly know anything about it?
Therefore, there may only be one truth... and that is the one Tony Stark least wants to believe, yet it is also the most likely option:
There is a traitor among his men.
Currently, Tony has identified two suspects who have been ruled out.
Pepper Potts is undoubtedly the one, and the other one... is naturally Happy.
Clark was "invited" by Happy by phone, so Happy couldn't possibly be a traitor; the fat man's loyalty has already been proven.
"After I go back… I want to change careers… Clark, I don't want to do arms dealing anymore."
Tony stood on the rooftop, looking at the somewhat desolate afternoon sunlight, and said with a complicated expression.
This experience greatly shocked and changed Tony Stark.
Especially...
He discovered the truth behind the killer that transformed his heart from a normal one into a deadly battery toy that could leak electricity and kill him at any moment.
His heart was no longer able to function properly and had become connected to the battery ring he had created; the two coexisted, allowing Tony Stark to continue living.
Whether it's a completely destroyed heart or a malfunctioning battery, it will ruin Tony.
And what led to all of this...
That anti-tank rocket launcher that exploded on his side... was a killing weapon produced by Stark Industries!
The weapons he created ultimately killed him, their creator.
Although he is still alive, his heart is no longer intact. If an accident occurs, he will be finished, and his fate will be the same as that of the eunuchs in ancient times.
He died without a complete corpse.
Tony Stark fell into deep thought.
The question of the fixed body has left me lost in thought.
Tony was confused.
His only thought right now is to let those damn weapons go to hell!
Clark was not surprised at all:
"You're not going to be an arms dealer anymore? That's perfect. Once you send out the message, I'll buy up a lot of Stark stock."
Tony's expression grew increasingly bitter:
"Aren't you afraid those stocks will become worthless? If Stark Industries doesn't sell arms, its stock price will plummet."
Clark didn't care at all:
"The drop is temporary. I'll buy when the stock price falls. Anyway, with you here, the stock price will rise sooner or later, and then I'll make a profit."
Clark opened the iron gate on the roof and led Tony down from the rooftop:
"I'll take Ethan to get treatment first. As for leaving, you can handle that yourself; I won't interfere."
"There's a driver in the garage; you can go there if you want a ride."
Tony shook his head and refused.
"No, I don't really want to take a car... I'd like to walk around by myself... and take a look at the campus..."
Tony spent a long time in that dark, sunless cave, confined to a small space.
Now, besides wanting to take a walk around St. Kent College to relax, he also wants to try the hamburgers made by the cafeteria ladies.
He used to love eating when he was in St. Kent College, but he hasn't eaten much since graduating.
The old headmaster has passed away... and I'm also having heart problems... Is this how my youth ends?
Everything seems to have changed beyond recognition.
I just hope the cafeteria ladies' cooking skills remain as good as ever.
