Chapter 428: Guilt
Noticing Captain America's complexion growing increasingly grim as he spoke, Tony Stark immediately shrugged and spread his hands, expressing helplessness. "I was the one who was forced!"
"They?" Steve Rogers sharply caught Tony Stark's choice of words.
"Maybe three or four. When I woke up, this is how I was," Tony Stark rubbed Between the Eyebrows and sighed. "Usually, Pepper Potts handles these things for me before I wake up!"
Steve Rogers looked at Tony Stark, who was covered in lipstick marks and smelled strongly of perfume, and almost turned into Captain America, the master of sweet-talking.
"Listen, Mr. Stark, look at the state you're in. You volunteered to come here to investigate the Evil God's Information. We were all very moved. I even specifically asked Agent Natasha to order a memorial couplet for you. But nobody told me you came here to drink and fool around with women!"
"Order a memorial couplet? For me? Well, that's bad luck!" Tony Stark looked annoyed.
"I think that memorial couplet suits you perfectly right now!" Steve Rogers said, exasperated by his lack of self-respect.
"What exactly is the situation?" After glancing outside the Door, Steve Rogers lowered his voice.
Tony Stark rubbed Between the Eyebrows, his expression somewhat indescribable. "I was drunk, slept for a week. The Target admitted that the manpower was sent by him and the things were stolen by him, but he defined these actions as normal commercial dispute!"
"Commercial dispute?" Steve Rogers's face immediately showed an expression that said, 'Are you kidding me?' I'm talking about a calamity that could affect several Parallel Universes, and you're talking to me about a commercial dispute?! What connection is there between the two?! "He admitted to stealing the coordinates of the Parallel Universes we've experienced, as well as the manufacturing technology of the quantum transporter. He expressed his apologies to us and is willing to compensate us with a batch of powerful arms, said to be alien technology!"
"You accepted! Tony!" Steve Rogers's expression instantly became extremely solemn, even faintly showing anger. "This isn't a matter of compensation. This involves the safety of over a dozen Parallel Universes! That's a weight of life that cannot be measured by numbers! Nothing can be equivalent to them! We have no authority to exchange them for any compensation!"
"Of course, I know that!" Tony Stark gave a wry smile. "But at the time, I was drunk by him and accepted his apology in a daze!"
Tony Stark's face was full of regret at this moment. He hadn't expected to fall into a trap at a feast. Although he didn't want to admit it and knew he had been targeted, due to the pride deeply ingrained in his being from the Stark Family/Clan, he couldn't bring himself to swallow his words.
"Then you shouldn't be involved in this matter! I'll handle it. You accepted the apology, but we didn't. I've brought enough manpower this time. Even if we can't eliminate that Evil God, we will completely destroy the quantum transporter in his hands!"
Steve Rogers understood Tony Stark's thoughts at a glance. After years of getting along, he also knew that this "nephew" of his, like Howard back then, despite being cynical, possessed a strong sense of self-esteem. Thus, he skipped the step of asking for Tony Stark's opinion and made the decision directly.
Tony Stark looked at Steve Rogers. At this moment, the Captain's gaze was firm, just like when he faced Hydra back then. Tony Stark nodded, agreeing to Steve Rogers's plan, and then asked, "Right, how many people did you bring this time?"
"We thought you were in trouble. This time, it's the entire team, plus Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman!"
"Bruce Wayne came too!" Tony Stark was a bit in doubt. "According to the original plan, shouldn't he be collecting your combat parameters and formulating targeted countermeasures!"
"He said he owes us a life!" Steve Rogers said. "Bruce Wayne is a man of great principle, worthy of the title Batman. Of course, you'd better change your clothes and wash your face. Don't let him see you in this state!"
Captain America's gaze swept over the lipstick mark on Tony Stark's face, his expression of dislike completely undisguised.
Tony Stark lowered his head to examine his shirt. It was indeed covered in lipstick marks, and even his rear was full of lipstick marks. He didn't know how those women managed to mark these places.
"Wait a moment, I'll call someone to send me a set of clothes first!"
Every guest room in Lake Heart Island Manor was equipped with a communicator. Tony Stark walked directly to the communicator and pressed the communication button.
"Hello, Mr., what do you need?"
"Please send a set of clothes over!"
"Please wait a moment, we'll send it over right away!"
Seeing how skilled this guy was, Steve Rogers even wondered if he had come to the wrong place this time! "Right, Tony, did you find out where their Quantum Tunnel is built, and where they store their data/information database? To prevent other Universes from being damaged, we need to destroy all these equipment and data/information!"
In the Bathroom, Tony Stark's reply came through the rushing sound of running water from the shower: "No, I was drunk as soon as I got here. I just woke up today!"
"And do you think they would tell such an important location to an outsider!?"
Tony Stark carefully scrubbed the lipstick marks off his body. After taking off his clothes, he discovered that the lipstick marks were not only on his shirt but also on his rear and body. Even the turtle he raised had been painted with other colors.
"What about your artificial intelligence partner? Didn't he decipher the security program here!?"
Steve Rogers sat on the sofa. The glass door of the Bathroom gradually filled with white water mist. "You mean FRIDAY? I suspect there's an artificial intelligence here that's even more powerful than FRIDAY. It can easily block FRIDAY's signal!" Tony Stark said while cleaning the lipstick marks off his body.
"You mean FRIDAY was blocked? Then isn't our communication channel exposed?" Steve Rogers's look suddenly changed.
"If it's really as I think, you were probably targeted by them the moment you arrived in this Universe. As long as you connected to this world's internet signal, there's a possibility of being invaded by them! Once invaded by this artificial intelligence, your actions are almost like being naked in front of it."
The Bathroom Door was pulled open at this moment. Tony Stark, wrapped in a bath towel, wiped his wet hair and walked out of the Bathroom.
"More dangerous than Ultron!?" Steve Rogers frowned. If it was really as Tony said, then coming to this Lake Heart Island Manor was like walking into a trap.
"Those are two different concepts. And compared to this artificial intelligence, the person behind it is even more dangerous!"
Tony Stark picked up a hairdryer and styled his hair in front of the mirror.
At this moment, the guest room door was suddenly knocked.
Steve Rogers was about to activate the Ant-Man transformation device when Tony Stark suddenly stopped him. "Captain, it should be the clothes delivery. Help me get the clothes!"
Captain America: "..."
Tony Stark turned back to look at him. "I think the mistress / female head here already knows about your arrival!"
Steve Rogers gave Tony Stark a deep gaze, then walked directly to the Door. After a slight hesitation, he opened the Room Door directly.
