Chapter 66 : Tony Stark, you know, your face is annoying

"No amount of money ever bought a second of time."

~ Tony Stark, Avengers: Endgame

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tony Stark put in a lot of effort and finally squeezed into the hospital door. In the surprised eyes of the medical staff, he immediately ran to the ward where Roger was.

"Ivy, Roger's funeral will be held three days later; can you attend?" Pepper asked with red eyes.

Ivy leaned on Jude's shoulder, sobbing silently.

Jude looked at Pepper and said, "I think Ivy needs some time. Sorry, let's go first."

Patter, patter...

There was a sound of dense footsteps, and Tony Stark ran over with sweat on his head, just passing Jude.

The two looked at each other, and Tony recognized who it was in an instant. According to the past, he would have to talk about it but now is not the time.

After taking a few breaths, he ran to Pepper. Tony looked down at the beloved woman and said softly, "Sorry, I'm late. How are you?"

Pepper is not Ivy. She and Stark have feelings for each other, but they don't want to admit it. Even at this time, she is still suppressing.

Leaning on the door frame, Pepper shook her head slightly. "I'm fine, Tony; I was already prepared for it; it's fine."

Looking at the sad woman in front of him, Tony could no longer suppress his emotions and reached out his hand to hold her in his arms.

At this moment, Pepper suddenly raised her head, looked at Ivy's back, and shouted, "Ivy, if you can attend Roger's funeral, I will be very grateful. Please, no, please Appear, thank you."

Ivy stopped and froze for a while, then turned her head to look at the half-sister and said, "I'll consider it, but I can't guarantee it."

Pepper nodded bleakly and said, "I understand; I can't force you, but...thank you anyway."

Seeing this woman who has always been strong in front of him is so helpless, Tony Stark only feels heartache. He thinks he should do something, but after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that he can't speak.

"Now, what Potts hopes most is for the girl named Ivy to attend Roger's funeral. I must help her achieve it."

This thought flashed through his mind, and while Pepper entered the ward, Stark raised his leg and chased the two in front of him: "Please wait; the one in front is you, and the lady named Ivy, I have something to say."

Jude and Ivy stopped again and turned to look at the man who ran in front of them.

"Tony Stark, Iron Man, what do you want to say?"

"Hello gentleman, I don't know your name, but it is not important. I want to say a few words to Miss Ivy. Can you step aside?"

Ivy's tone was a little cold, and she didn't have a good impression of Iron Man: "Jude doesn't need to go anywhere; he is my best and most important friend and family."

"Family, This kind of rhetoric is wrong, Miss Ivy; your family should be Mr. Roger and Potts, not Mr. Jude."

"I know Roger did something wrong. He abandoned you and your mother. He has never done his duty as a father. He is a bastard, but he is also your father."

"You only need to attend his funeral. It's that simple. It won't take a lot of your time, but it will make many people feel better, Miss Ivy. I hope you can agree to it."

Ivy's tone became even colder: "I said I would consider it; that's it, goodbye!"

"No, you must be there," Tony said suddenly and forcefully.

"What, are you ordering me?"

"Of course not; don't get me wrong, okay? How much do you want?"

Tony has seen Ivy's information: a woman who has been on the streets since she was a child, has a long history and has a bad life. Such a person understands that he is willing to do everything for money, and the most important thing she lacks is money. 

When Tony said this sentence, Jude's anger immediately rushed up. Iron Man, a superhero, has soared in Marvel's position due to the movie's momentum, rising from the second line to the super first line.

So Jude also knows something about Tony Stark. In general, if you are his teammate, you will hate him.

There are also many reasons for dislike; the most obvious is the bad temper—the arrogant and stinky temper that pretends to be a genius and rich man. When you watch a movie, you may think that he is very cool, but when you are the object of abuse, is it cool?

Next is his super-self character. When he makes a decision, he often cannot listen to the opinions of others. Even if he has doubts in his heart, how can a genius show weakness? So when he knows that his decision is wrong, the situation is often irreparable.

But it is not right to say that Tony Stark is a villain because he always upholds justice and protection in his heart. When the earth is in danger, he is willing to stand up, even if it means sacrificing himself.

It can be said that Tony Stark is a selfish and selfless contradiction, but his selflessness is usually manifested in times of crisis, and in daily life, he is a very disgusting guy.

Jude stepped out in front of Ivy and said, "Tony Stark, you know, your face is annoying."

Tony also took a step forward without flinching: "Is it? Many people have told me what you said, but they all have nothing to do with me."

"So you think using money to threaten a girl and force her to attend the funeral of a scumbag father to satisfy your desire for expression in front of Pepper is very masculine behavior, right?"

"I'm telling you, sh*t Stark, I remember your father, Howard Stark, dying very early, right? How old were you? Five or six? But that doesn't matter; I didn't have time to worry about you."

"Tell me how many times Howard Stark has hugged you. Tell me, have you enjoyed the time a child should enjoy? Tell me, have you hated him?"

"Enough!"

Tony suddenly yelled and punched Jude. At this moment, he lost control. His father can be said to be one of his inverse scales. Even though he understands his father now, he did resent him once. It was anyone touched. The depths of the soul can't be touched.

But his fists were stretched. Jude grabbed his fists and dropped him to the ground with a light touch under his feet.

Then, Jude bent down to approach him, put a hand on his collar, and said, "So, if you can't accept it yourself, how can you ask other people like this? Wake up to reality!"

"Let's go, Ivy."

Tony looked at the backs of the two of them; his mind reverberated with the words just now, and he didn't know what his mood was at the moment.

But Jude seemed to remember something suddenly and turned his head and said, "There is one more thing, Tony, about your insult to me in the car; I will get it back."
