Chapter 109: not interested...

Except for the smiling Howard and Maria, everyone in the living room was stunned.

Before Mike objected, Tony exclaimed: "Old man, Are you kidding! Godfather? I'm so old, you want me to recognize a Godfather?"

Mike raised his eyebrows, waiting for Howard's explanation.

"Tony!" Howard snarled and said solemnly to Mike, "Mike, you are a good father."

Mike nodded and said, "I admit it."

Tony's mouth twitched, so shameless.

"Tony...is a troublesome person. just like when I was young, he often offends people."

Mike nodded, which he admitted.

Howard looked at Tony who was unhappy and said, "So, I don't want him to be sent away to be reunited with me as soon as I die."

"You..." Mike looked at Howard up and down and said, "It's not good. Is it?"

Howard smiled bitterly and said, "It's almost time."

Speaking of this, his face flashed a painful color.

Maria smiled softly at him and took his hand.

Howard looked at him tenderly and said, "I have cancer, it's already in the late stage, and there's not much time left."

"What?" Tony looked at Howard in horror and smiled dryly: "Old, old man... No, Dad! You're lying to me, right? right?!"

Howard glanced at Tony calmly, shook his head, and said, "No!."

Tony stared at Howard, and after a few seconds, he was finally sure that he was not playing tricks on him, As if he lost his soul, he just sat on the sofa.

Maria hugged Tony gently, while Howard looked at Mike, waiting for Mike's answer.

In fact, Howard has been very satisfied.

If it weren't for Mike, he and his wife would've been killed four years ago. Now they have lived four more years, and have handed over Stark Industries to Tony step by step. After a few years of leisurely life, he has no regrets. .

However, he was still worried because Tony was too much like him.

Although he is smart and is recognized as a genius scientist in the world, he is full of arrogance...

He is very clear that such a character is too easy to offend people, and now the world is not the same as it was decades ago, He didn't want Tony to be accidentally killed because of his character

Although he had confidence in Tony, but he felt that he should still leave an insurance for the child.

So? In his eyes, Mike became a perfect candidate.

Possess a strong ability? Usually low-key, but always stand up at critical moments, the most important thing is that Mike is a perfect father in his eyes.

He has never met a father who can teach a child with superpowers to be so obedient.

These children are humble and polite? they never take the initiative to cause trouble, let alone do bad things with their own abilities, When encountering injustice, They will save people regardless of danger...

better than what he taught...

He glanced at Tony and sighed.

Looking at Howard's expression? Mike can also guess what the other party is thinking, but to become Tony's godfather, forget it, he will just be pissed off.

So, he shook his head and said firmly: "Sorry, I can't accept it."

Hearing this, Eric and Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

Howard and Maria were very disappointed, and even Howard couldn't help but ask again, and said, "You really won't think about it? Tony, although he has a bad personality, is definitely a good boy."

Mike has never seen Howard like this.

"Dad!"

Tony looked at Howard, his head in a mess.

Is he going to be adopted, and in adulthood?

That's ridiculous!

Howard looked at Mike's eyes and saw that Mike didn't loosen at all, the eagerness in his eyes slowly faded, and then he laughed.

He seems to have lost his original demeanor because of Tony.

Seeing this, Mike said, "Howard, you should have confidence in Tony. He will definitely live for long and didn't you see how he wasn't beaten to death by the killer, so that means his ability to survive is good!."

Howard nodded, then frowned.

This sounds reasonable, but there seems to be something wrong with it.

At this moment, Mike continued: "However, you and I are considered friends. so for Tony, I will just help you watch him."

Howard finally smiled.

Maria gratefully said, "Thank you, Mike, you are really an angel."

In her eyes, Mike has been an angel the day he rescued them that night.

Howard breathed a sigh of relief and felt that before leaving, he should give Mike some gifts, such as a large deposit, or some shares or something.

Howard pressed Tony's shoulder and said, "Tony, call him uncle in the future."

"Huh? Uncle? Him!?"

Tony's mouth twitched.

He is a young man who is almost twenty-five, and now he being forced to recognize an uncle brought by his father.

eh, wait.

He glanced at Charles and Eric with strange eyes.

If he call this guy uncle, these two wouldn't be able to call him uncle anymore.

Moreover, this guy is already in his 40s. In terms of seniority, it seems that he is indeed of the uncle generation...

When he thought of this he unconsciously called out.

"Uncle, uncle."

When Tony called out, he was stunned for a moment, then recovered.

Damn, what did I just call? What did I just say?

His mind is a little confused now.

Tony's face kept changing as he rapidly thought things through.

But Howard and Maria seemed very happy.

"Dad? There are guests?"

At this moment, Clark came home from school and glanced at Howard and the three of them unexpectedly, but he politely greeted them, then looked at Charles and Eric, and greeted the two of them. he said, "You guys are back? Are you happy with this trip?"

"it's okay."

The two responded, Charles stretched out his hand and nodded, connecting the two through abilities Afterwards, he told Clark what happened just now and his trip.

Clark nodded vaguely, showing a smile.

Mike looked at the clock on the wall, got up and said, "It's getting late, stay here for dinner."

He patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "Entertain the guests."

Clark nodded.

Mike walked into the kitchen and quickly cooked a table of good dishes, which was enjoyed by all the guests.

When the Stark family about to leave, Charles took Howard's hand, pulled him aside with a smile, and whispered something to him.

Howard's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he walked out with a heavy heart.
