Chapter 151
At first Tony didn't realize what Carl said.
He just rolled his eyes habitually, and patiently explained to Karl, who had already fallen into a certain stage of bewilderment in his eyes: "Okay, little prince, don't think too much, anyone is to blame for the Afghan incident." without you..."
"I saved Howard and Maria." Carl said again.
This time Tony actually heard it.
But he still didn't come back to his senses, or his ears accepted this sentence, and then sent such a message into his brain, but for various reasons, his brain refused to accept the sentence. The deep meaning is interpreted.
So things like "Howard and Maria are alive" are filtered by him,
As if there was an invisible membrane separating him from the truth, Tony looked at Carl with a vaguely uncomfortable feeling on his face, guilt for poking Carl's sore spot so cheaply.
For some reason, Carl was afraid to repeat what he had just said.
To be honest, few people really like Tony before becoming Iron Man.Stark, because he is frivolous, slutty, playful and always tramples the sincerity of others under his feet, never reflects on his own mistakes, so arrogant, he simply regards himself as the "king of the world".
But his arrogance and brilliance are so eye-catching, as if he has received infinite expectations since he was born, as if he was loved by everyone as soon as he came into the world, as if he was growing up with wind and rain, everything he liked Everything will be paved under his feet by the wealth and power behind him, as if he has never experienced any setbacks in his life, and has never been scolded or rejected.
Besides, he was so handsome and so smart.
All of these have existed before he was born, or have been possessed since he was born, which means that he does not need any effort, no need to spend any thought, to obtain such an item that ordinary people have. It is a treasure that has shed countless sweats and experienced countless struggles.
Some people will object that Tony.Stark's achievements in science are also the result of his hard work, the result of his day and night research and hard work in the laboratory. This is true, but these people have overlooked one point:
How many normal people can stay sane after staying up late for days on end?
To put it cruelly and tragically, most people will lose their minds if they stay up late until one or two o'clock. After staying up late for a period of time, they will suffer from memory loss, difficulty concentrating, hair loss, illness, and weight loss... and people like Tony, they Not only smart, but also naturally energetic, requiring only a very short rest period to recover.
His existence is envied and hated.
Because whether people are willing to admit it or not, what he has is the life that everyone dreams of in the depths of their hearts.
This kind of life will certainly make countless people target him and regard him as an idol, but in essence, people don't care who "Tony Stark" is. There are many labels on this identity, so people can only see those labels .
Just as he will become "Iron Man" in the future, "Iron Man" will also become one of his labels.
Everyone will love him, but no one likes him.
Leaving aside how much weight and blind obedience this kind of love has, at least people do love him, and love the halo that surrounds him——
It is precisely because of this that when the arrogance and arrogance faded from his face, when all his expressions gradually disappeared, leaving a piece of numbness at last, who could not feel heartache for him?
"I see." Tony said.
"You, you know... what?" Carl stammered.
"I know you saved Howard and Maria, but Howard hasn't allowed you to tell me that they are still alive." Tony said slowly, and he even pulled the corners of his lips into a smile, "You know what? I have been thinking this way for a few days when I learned of their death. I think this must be a nonsense plan of the old man. My mother...Maria, she loves the old man to death, and she will definitely not object loudly. agreed."
Carl said nothing, he had a rather ominous premonition.
Lex, who had already visited Tony's laboratory and planned to go out to see the situation outside, heard an elegant voice.
"Mr. Luthor, I'm Jarvis, Mr.'s smart housekeeper. Out of etiquette, I sincerely suggest that you stay in this room temporarily to avoid being affected."
Lex's first reaction was: "Did he and Carl fight because of me?"
"No, Mr. Luther." Jarvis's voice kept a high level of stability, as if there was no slight emotional fluctuation, "No one spoke loudly, but sir's mood is very unstable, and you are very likely to be implicated in the past now .”
Without even thinking about it, Lex could understand the logic in this passage.
Little Stark has always thought that he was not very pleasing to the eye, but he just endured it for Carl's sake. Now little Stark is "emotionally unstable", and he will only be in trouble if he goes out.
But Karl was right next to him, and he couldn't open up to fight back.
Lex has a wide range of hobbies, but there is absolutely no such thing as chasing and scolding, so after thinking about it for a while, he obediently put down the hand that was already holding the doorknob, and thanked Jarvis politely .
"Thank you, Jarvis, your program is very intelligent, making you is Tony's greatest achievement."
"You are awesome, Mr. Luthor." Jarvis said immediately, "The waiting time may be a little longer, do you need something to drink?"
Lex accepted Jarvis's offer, ordered a glass of champagne, and said, "Since I can't go out now, would you like to chat with me, Jarvis?"
"My pleasure, Mr. Luthor."
Even facing Tony, who was on the verge of erupting and already furious to the extreme, Carl was still a little amused by Lex's behavior of gathering information like every stitch.
Even if you can see the mysteries of the universe from the list of chewing gum ingredients, it is impossible for Lexie to know anything about chatting with Jarvis... Alexander is very interested in Jarvis, he must have surveillance related to Jarvis Behavior.
Carl felt that such behavior was inappropriate.
But he is not artificial intelligence, and there seems to be nothing he can say about the relationship between artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence. Among other things, Alexander himself has no concept of "privacy", and he has made many concessions in this regard entirely for the sake of Taking care of Carl's emotions and human morality, Jarvis is not a human being, and has not been treated with such "respect". According to Carl's understanding of Alexander, it may not need such treatment itself.
So after struggling for a while, he just told Alexander that he didn't need to tell himself his analysis of Jarvis.
What he needed to worry about now wasn't what Lex would get out of his conversation with Jarvis, but Tony's reaction.
He looked so calm and peaceful that Carl couldn't be bothered.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I should have told you that they were still alive the day you got the news." Carl tried to make up, "But I...my thoughts were too selfish, I just didn't want to get involved in the conflict between your father and son, So I didn't say anything. I'm sorry, Tony."
"No, no, baby Carl, you are right. The matter between me and the old man has nothing to do with you. You and I are friends, and you have a good relationship with the old man. You can't help anyone. I know that. I didn't give birth to you angry."
Tony nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not that I'm not angry at all, I can't wait to beat you up now."
"I have no objection, but I think even if I stand here and let you hit you, you won't be able to hit you."
Carl thought you might hurt your hands... You'd need a room full of red sun rays, or a pair of green kryptonite gloves.
Green kryptonite he would give Tony, but not now.
Wait until he really becomes Iron Man, and wait until those things that symbolize a turning point in fate happen.
"Don't be silly! I won't smoke you." Tony rolled his eyes at the sky, "I don't like to say that but, I owe you."
"You don't owe me. You don't owe anyone."
"I have. Didn't you save the old man and my mother?" Tony said, he patted Carl's shoulder lightly, and he could see that he was so unfamiliar with this action that he was a little clumsy after doing it, "I Wish I could do something for you."
He actually smiled again, and this smile made Carl's skin crawl all over.
Of course, it's the psychological kind of goosebumps.
If he could feel the cold, Karl would still shiver violently to calm down his feeling of being hairy now.
Tony would definitely mess with Howard, needless to say, but seeing Tony's current performance, Karl began to worry sincerely that Tony would accidentally play with fire and kill his old father when he was fighting with him.
No, the word "accidentally" can be removed.
He just wanted to kill his old father.
"Tony..." Carl decided to speak well for Howard.
For the sake of his friendship with Howard, and also for the sake of his friendship with Tony-or try to persuade Tony not to kill the old father, even if it is to keep Howard's sustainable development?
"I, don't want, to discuss, this, topic." Tony paused, "Now tell me something else, little prince, I wish I could do something for you, seriously, let me do something for you, Or you can make your jokes, and I promise I won't be mad at you."
What's the matter, do you still want to accumulate anger and vent it on Howard?
Carl felt that Tony's mood was very dangerous now, and he had no doubt that if there was a missile aimed at Howard's location and Tony had the button to launch the missile, he would press it to the end without hesitation.
Don't reason with people who have lost their minds, this is the truth of the truth.
"Really you won't be mad at anything I do?" Carl asked.
He changed his standing posture, put both hands in his trouser pockets, and showed a clearly malicious smile.
For a split second, the warm, kind, sparkling Carl Tony knew, the young boy he dubbed "The Little Prince," was back.
Carrying Carl's unique ability to turn all major events into a joke, carrying Carl's unique tolerance and tolerance, carrying Carl always trying to make him happy in their relationship - or trying to make him happy Lively that pissed him off.
"Really," he said softly, full of gratitude to Carl for saving his parents.
"We have known each other for so many years, I think I should have a unique nickname for you." Carl said thoughtfully.
... The ominous premonition made Tony prick up his ears.
"Nini." Carl said, with a final word, "I want to call you Nini."
Lex, who was chatting with Jarvis, heard a deafening roar.
"Kal-El! You fucking [beep——]!"
"Oh." He raised his eyebrows and said to Jarvis, "Tony sounds like he's in a good mood."
"Yes, Mr. Luther," said Jarvis.
His voice still sounded so standard and rigid, but it seemed to have a slight smile.
