Just as Lin En had expected, Tony dealt with the whip lock very quickly.
However, the time it took was far more than three minutes.
Ivan Wanke, a mad scientist with a twisted mind, could not control the warframe as well as him, but his lightning whips were unpredictable.
The dignified Iron Man had almost lost.
If it weren't for the explosive increase in energy provided by the new reactor and the significant improvement in the Mark6 combat suit's weapon system, it would be hard to say who would win this battle.
When he was done with everything, he dragged his tired body back to Stark Tower.
There was a loud explosion in the air.
"Done?"
Lin En's figure appeared with a spatial distortion. He looked at him with a faint smile."Didn't you say three minutes? I've been waiting for you for almost thirty minutes."
Tony blushed.
" Alright, I admit that guy is a little difficult to deal with…"
Mechanical hands stretched out one after another and quickly helped him take off his battle suit. He could not help but rub his old waist." Although the reaction furnace he made was very backward, most of the energy was concentrated on the two whips. It was very powerful!”
Lin En snapped his fingers, and white magic light flashed.
In an instant, Tony felt that the soreness in his body was gone. The fatigue from staying up all night and going through a big battle had completely disappeared.
"You, it's fine if you can teleport out of thin air, but you can also heal?”
Tony was stunned for a moment, then he said enviously,""Magic…is so magical!”
"It's just a very ordinary healing spell."
Lin En smiled faintly and suggested,""Since Ivan Wanke's whip is so powerful, perhaps you can also equip the next generation of battle suits with a cold weapon?”
"Hmm?"
Tony looked at him in surprise.
"To be honest, your attack methods are actually quite lacking.”
Lin En waved both his hands, and two glasses of red wine appeared in his hands. He casually handed one to Tony."Relying entirely on firearms is not as useful as cold weapons in many situations. Could it be that you can only fight hand-to-hand when your energy is exhausted?”
"You don't think that fists are better than swords, do you?”
Tony shook his head.
He had never thought of this.
However, it was obvious that Ivan Wanke's two lightning whips had left a deep impression on him.
"What you said makes sense. I should indeed enrich my attack methods.”
He took the wine cup and took a sip. His eyes were filled with thoughts."If I forge an alloy greatsword and hang it on my back, wouldn't it be too cool? Would it affect Iron Man's image? However, if it was just a built-in short sword or something like that, it did not seem to have that much power?”
As expected of Iron Man, his thoughts were unrestrained.
Lin En smiled.
"You can try it first, then do a survey. You can adjust it according to the public's liking. It's just a small sum of money.”
" Of course," he teased with a smile." As a business partner, if you ask, I can also help you forge a magic sword. At that time, you can carry two swords on your back. You can use an alloy sword against ordinary enemies and a magic sword against powerful enemies. Wouldn't that be more handsome?"”
Good heavens, this was somewhat similar to the attire of a Demon Hunter.
The white wolf Geralt, the human-shaped pile driver…
To some extent, he was really similar to Tony, the playboy.
It was just that the scene was too beautiful and he did not dare to imagine it.
"It's a deal! When I'm done evaluating the feasibility of carrying a cold weapon system, I'll definitely come and find you!”
Tony smiled as he clinked glasses with Lin En and downed the wine in his glass.
Then, he saw the empty glass of wine reappear.
It increased bit by bit.
“fuck! I hate magic. It makes me feel that the world of ordinary people is extremely shabby!”
Tony sighed deeply, then said abruptly,""What happened tonight has something to do with you, right? Are you a mutant?"
"That's right."
Lin En nodded, not surprised at all.
This matter could not be hidden from Tony at all.
After all, from the very beginning, he had never concealed his interest in the Hummer Industrial Fair. The invitation letter for Storm and the others was also obtained through Tony.
With Tony's IQ, it would be strange if he could not think of this.
"So, you already knew about Ivan Wanke's plot? Was it to ease the hostility between the mutated humans and the ordinary people?”
Tony was a little surprised by Lin En's honesty.""If that's the case, why didn't you make a move? If you were to attack, that big guy would definitely not be injured…"
"Logan isn't injured. That's just an illusion.”
Lin En smiled and shook his head.
"Fake?"
Tony trembled and looked at Lin En in disbelief.""So…it's just a show?!”
"Of course not!"
Lin En met his gaze, his expression calm and firm." Ivan Wanke's conspiracy is real, the riot of the steel soldiers is real, and the thousands of people who almost died on the spot are also real…"
"The X-Men risked their lives to save all of them. Why is it fake?!”
It had to be said that these were all impeccable facts.
Tony's eyes trembled slightly.
"Understood. They deliberately created the tragic scene of being injured to gain the sympathy of the public. They let the public know that there are such heroes among the mutated humans who are willing to sacrifice themselves to save others.”
A strange smile appeared on his face as he said mockingly,""This is a business tactic. Treating the X-Men as a commodity to package and operate?”
"Lin En, you're really a genius!”
"You want to use this method to change the situation of the mutated humans step by step?”
As expected of Iron Man, who had an explosive IQ, he immediately guessed what Lin En was thinking.
" After all the fuss, it turns out that I'm working with mutants…"
With Tony's personality, he did not have any resistance towards mutants. He just looked at Lin En with some doubt."Why didn't you hide anything from me? Just because we're partners?"
"Of course not."
Lin En looked at him speechlessly." Firstly, other than a small number of mutated humans, the vast majority of mutated humans have no malice towards ordinary humans. Instead, they were forced by ordinary humans to have no place to live. Therefore, I openly changed the image of mutated humans. There's nothing to hide.”
"Secondly…"
At this point, a strange expression appeared on Lin En's face.""Why do you think that we're just business partners?”
Tony was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
"Let me explain to you. Mutants are divided into several types. Among them, the most numerous are the Delta-class Mutants. Their abilities are very weak, and their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people. However, their physical attributes are far superior to ordinary people, such as strength, speed, and also their brains!”
"In other words, not all mutants have superpowers. It can even be said that the truth is the opposite!"”
Tony was still puzzled.
"Think about your father, Tony."
Lin En smiled faintly and finished the rest of his wine." Mr. Howard Stark, in the technological environment decades ago, not only did he develop the prototype of the ark reactor, but he also found a new element…This is at least hundreds of years ahead of the times, right?”
"Being one step ahead is a genius, ten steps ahead is a super genius, but what about being a hundred steps ahead?”
"Just smart?"
"Is this the word smart enough to describe it?”
" So, have you ever thought…"
At this point, Lin En put away his cup and patted Tony's shoulder.""Your father, Howard Stark, might be a mutant?”
"And his superpower is an extremely intelligent brain?”
"You even inherited this ability?”
These words were like a clap of thunder, exploding in Tony's ears.
He was stunned.
My dad…is a mutant?
He even inherited his ability to me?
Does that mean I'm also a mutated human?
"Special Gift Crab!"
