CHAPTER 6: Is this guy an idiot by any chance?

Tony felt a little strange that Arthur had called him that.

But everything was fine.

Arthur wasn't wrong, he's the iron man.

Tony also responded to Arthur and said, "I have to admit that you're not just a talented writer."

"He even has incredible financial management skills."

"Even in the current situation, you still took a risk by buying shares in Stark Industries. It seems like you have a lot of confidence in Stark Industries."

Even though Tony was praising Arthur, he was also at the same time praising Stark Industries.

Anyone could tell that Tony was bragging in a disguised way.

Tony Stark is a pretty narcissistic guy, but he has the capital for it.

Pepper and Happy are already used to his personality, and Arthur doesn't mind it.

Because in Arthur's opinion, if he had Tony's wealth, he might be even more narcissistic than him.

Arthur also boasted, "Compared to Stark Industries, I believe in my own vision more."

"I read your book Terminator, the setting and robots are very interesting. To be honest, my first Mark 1 armor was somewhat inspired by what I read in your books."

Arthur was surprised by Tony's words.

Unexpectedly, his book accidentally affected Tony's Mark 1 armor.

"But that Skynet AI isn't very good. If I were the one who created it, it wouldn't have any chance of rebelling against humanity."

Tony spoke confidently.

JARVIS is absolutely loyal to him, he can guarantee that with his life.

As long as he created the artificial intelligence, he can guarantee that it will be 100% loyal to humans.

It is impossible for the same thing to happen as happened in the world of Terminator.

Arthur smiled in dismay.

(Just wait a few more years, what you create in the future will be much scarier than any Skynet robot)

Pepper felt like Tony was talking too much today.

This is rare, even more so in front of a person he has just met.

Maybe this is some kind of sympathy between the two geniuses.

In Pepper's opinion, Arthur and Tony belong to the same type of genius, but in different fields.

"By the way, Pepper, there are some Stark Industries partners over there. Go over there and talk to them."

Pepper looked in the direction Tony pointed, and indeed there were some people there who were partners with Stark Industries.

But that was before.

There is no justice in the financial world, Pepper understands this, she said goodbye to Tony and Arthur and went there.

Then Tony turned his head and picked up his car key, "Happy, my car doesn't seem to be parked properly today, go over there and park my car again."

"Remember, the front of the car must face inward."

"It's okay, Tony."

Arthur's eyes narrowed, is Tony sending these two away?

Although he didn't know what Tony was doing, Arthur didn't say anything.

After Happy and Pepper left, Tony picked up his glass, sat down at the bar, and said to the pretty bartender, "Hey, get me a whiskey."

At the same time, he didn't forget to wink at the beautiful bartender.

"The women who came today are very beautiful."

"Right uh... Arthur..."

Tony thought for a moment before remembering Arthur's name.

"Yes, and if you hadn't sent them away just now, I would still be talking to them."

"Now tell me, Mr. Stark, what do you want from me?"

"I want to ask you something, in your view of the Terminator world, what kind of energy technology do these robots use?"

"Do you think there is a possibility of reproducing this type of technology in real life?"

When Tony finished speaking, he seemed a little relieved to finally ask.

He thought he must be going crazy for deciding to ask such a question to an author of a science fiction book.

But now there is no turning back.

Although JARVIS is analyzing new elements, Tony himself already knows that there is no element on Earth that can be used as a substitute for palladium.

In other words, as long as he is still using the ark reactor to maintain his life.

Symptoms of palladium poisoning will continue to increase.

The thing that keeps him alive is also killing him.

For now he could only hope to die slowly.

This feeling was so tormenting, so... Scary, that Tony would do everything he could to save himself.

Even though I had to use a science fiction book as inspiration.

Judging by Tony's performance now, Arthur also guessed what Tony wanted.

Arthur realized that, at this moment, Tony Stark was already slowly dying under the effects of palladium poisoning.

"In fact, the Ark reactor technology you have now has far surpassed the power technology used in Terminator."

"As for whether it can be done in real life, that's something you should think about, not me, a book writer."

Tony's face turned a little dark at that moment, and when the pretty bartender handed him the drink, he just smiled wryly in response.

As Arthur said, he already tried, he tried every way he could.

And the result is always the same.

The reason he asked Arthur is just to try and see if he could get another request.

But the results were not good.

And another option was discarded.

"Thank you for answering my question, Arthur."

Holding his glass of whiskey, Tony shook Arthur's hand before walking out and blending into the crowd and leaving the party.

"Why did he leave before I could finish talking?"

Arthur was stunned.

Is this guy an idiot by any chance?

But this is not surprising, Tony is being tortured, physically and mentally by the palladium poisoning and is completely overcome by impotence.

He transferred all of his Stark Industry shares to Pepper and gave Rhodes his Mark 1 armor, hoping he could inherit the Iron Man mantle.

So he calmly waited for death.

If Tony hadn't walked too fast, Arthur might have called him to give him some tips.

"Forget it, I'm sure there will be a chance in the future."

Arthur continued sitting at the bar, during which many people came to talk to him.

It was then that a voluptuous redheaded woman entered the party.

In an instant, she became the focus of the public.

But unlike what happened with Arthur, most people at the party showed fear and, to a certain extent, disgust at the redhead.

They all consciously moved away from her.

Arthur also noticed that the hot redhead was walking towards him, so the girls who were about to get to his side turned and walked away.

The redhead came to Arthur's side, extended her hand and introduced herself, "Hello, Mr. Morgan."

"My name is Jean Gray and I'm a big fan of your books."

Hey! Did you miss me? A lot of things have kept me from updating here during this time.

Lack of time, illness and even a robbery (they stole my cell phone which had basically everything in my life).

Anyway, I'll be back with normal updates and I apologize for not updating here.
