#431 - Stark's troubles

A fierce wind sweeps away fallen leaves, rain batters tattered banana plants~

Soon, the entire night passed by……

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Liang Yue, looking refreshed, stepped into the Stark Group's office building in New York City.

Shortly after, Miss Natasha picked him up, and the two took the elevator to Tony's personal living area on the top floor of the building.

Through the monitoring of the intelligent AI, Xiao Wu, Tony had flown directly to New York after leaving Monaco last night.

To be honest, Liang Yue was a little surprised by this, because according to his speculation, the most likely place for the other party to go should have been the mansion on Malibu Beach……

In fact, after Pepper was placed on the throne of CEO of Stark Group, Tony Stark spent less time in New York, mostly staying at home.

To be precise, he should be staying in his underground workshop, constantly researching new models of Iron Man armor.

He was completely engrossed in it~

In addition, due to Liang Yue's intervention, Tony had solved his heavy metal palladium poisoning problem a long time in advance.

And with the supply of the powerful new energy arc reactor, he could wholeheartedly devote himself to his research without any burden.

He completely skipped the long period of decadence from the Iron Man 2 storyline.

Of course, this matter~ may not be entirely a good thing.

……

"Yo~ Look who it is~"

At this time, it seemed that only Tony was in the top-floor living area.

He was holding a glass of whiskey, drinking it while absentmindedly flipping through news about himself on TV.

"I heard you were attacked, so I came to visit a fellow patient."

After entering the door, Liang Yue walked straight to the bar and casually sat down on a round stool.

"Although I myself was not injured, did you come empty-handed?"

"Thump~"

Liang Yue naturally knew what the big shot meant, so he directly placed a bottle of ancient fruit wine on the bar.

Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Stark's old face~

Inside the bar, Miss Natasha, who was temporarily acting as a bartender, also looked over with eager eyes.

Speaking of which, Liang Yue hadn't seen this young lady for a long time since she had stomach problems after drinking his ancient fruit wine last time.

But judging from her complexion, the woman's physical condition seemed to be very good now~

"Have you figured out how to solve this matter?"

After taking the cocktail handed over by Natasha, Liang Yue looked at Tony Stark, who was carefully wiping the bottle of ancient fruit wine next to him before carefully opening the wine cabinet.

"Huh? What matter? Are you talking about yesterday's attack? I've already solved it, kid~"

Hearing his words, Stark's original movements paused slightly, and then he said with a nonchalant look again.

"Don't kid around, buddy. I'm talking about the aftermath. Ivan Vanko's Iron Man armor is crude, but the arc reactor in his chest is real.

Some forces with ideas about this will not let go of such a good opportunity, so the technology of the miniaturized arc reactor will likely not be kept secret.

At that time, even if the things those people create are not as advanced as yours at Stark, they can still make up for it with sufficient quantity.

So, the US military will probably not be so polite to you anymore, Tony~"

Looking at Tony Stark, who was already wearing a worried look on his face, Liang Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have already given advice on the issue of sharing the Iron Man armor with the military before.

Like in the original plot, finding someone he trusts who can also gain the trust of the military to become another Iron Man is undoubtedly the best solution for Tony Stark.

Stark obviously understood this principle~

As a member of the top American power elite, the behavior of eating alone will definitely be rejected.

Alone and helpless, he himself would not be able to hold on for long.

Of course, Liang Yue actually underestimated this guy on this issue.

In fact, until this moment, Tony Stark still had not taken the initiative to send the Iron Man armor out, and his cold war game with the military forces was still deadlocked……

"Humph~ About this… let's not discuss it for now."

Estimating that Stark hadn't thought of a good solution for the time being, he simply changed the subject.

Instead, he sat down next to him with his wine glass, and then looked at him with a strange look.

His expression was hesitant, his eyes were shining, and he seemed a little embarrassed to speak……

"I say, you've been short on money lately~ cough, haven't you?"

"…Not short?"

Hearing this, Liang Yue looked at Stark strangely, and then glanced at Natasha, who also had a funny look on her face.

"Tsk~ How can you not be short! You are still young now, and you are still curious about many things in the world. You have to try many things.

In addition, your manor needs a lot of expenses for daily maintenance. Oh~ I also heard recently that you have more than a dozen beautiful maids?

These all cost money, right? Also, regarding Elizabeth's side~"

Speaking, Tony Stark immediately put on an experienced look, gave him a meaningful smile, took a sip of wine leisurely, and then continued.

"Don't worry, I won't run to tell on you about this, but~ Elizabeth's identity is very unusual, and the daily expenses are even more. As her boyfriend, shouldn't you work hard to make money for this?"

"Okay, Tony, just say what you want to say. You should understand that if I need money, I can get it at any time. Besides, aren't we already in business together?

The dividend should be credited soon, right?"

Looking at the big shot in front of him, Liang Yue smiled meaningfully.

At this time, he could naturally see from Stark's previous performance that the other party had something to ask of him.

It's just that he seemed a little embarrassed to open his mouth for a while~

"Um~ About the dividend, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. You know, as a professional and high-end industry giant.

Our profit settlement must follow strict procedures, which involves many procedures, such as finance, tax avoidance, etc. ~ Well~ okay, these are not important."

Saying that, Stark himself seemed to think his statement was unreliable, so he decisively ended the previous excuse, and instead looked at him tentatively, and continued.

"You really don't plan to exchange some more US dollars from me?"
