On the television, a hearing about Stark's Iron Man suits being turned over was playing. Lin Feng understood instantly, the plot of Iron Man 2 had arrived.
That meant, at this time, Tony should already be poisoned by palladium.
And possibly worse than the blood toxin levels in the original story.
Tony's stubborn refusal to lose meant he wouldn't let Lin Feng be the sole focus of public attention.
His frequent public appearances in the suit led to a worsening palladium poisoning.
At this moment, Lin Feng was on his way to Tony's villa. Flying during the day was too conspicuous, so Lin Feng chose to drive.
Before arriving at Tony's villa, Lin Feng encountered Pepper Potts.
"Hey, Pepper, is Tony home?" Lin Feng asked as he approached the villa.
"What's wrong with you? Did Tony make you angry?" Lin Feng, who had drawn closer, keenly noticed Pepper's frosty expression. She was clearly upset.
"Oh! Mr. Lin Feng?" Pepper turned back in surprise, then heard Lin Feng's question.
"That's right! You have no idea what that scoundrel did!" As if finding someone to confide in, Pepper poured out the reason for her anger like a torrent of grievances.
"He donated all our modern art collection!"
"Without consulting me, he donated everything, not a single piece left."
"Donated it to what, the Boy Scouts of America?" Pepper said indignantly.
"Do you know, Lin Feng! I spent a whole decade curating these things!"
"And he just donated them all without telling me a word!"
Little Pepper stomped her feet in anger! Lin Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, Lin Feng. I'm going to find him and get some answers right now!" With that, Pepper strode towards the villa.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Hey, Pepper!"
"Tony he... how should I put it, Tony's been going through some things lately." Lin Feng hesitated whether to reveal Tony's palladium poisoning.
"He's going through something? What could he be going through? Is he lusting after some magazine cover girl again?" The thought made an unbidden rage rise within her.
"Alright, alright, Pepper..." Lin Feng said helplessly.
"You know, Tony has been using that to sustain himself." Lin Feng gestured in a circle over his chest.
"The arc reactor?"
"Oh, right..."
"That thing saved him, but it's also killing him!" Lin Feng explained, "The core of the reactor is palladium, and Tony is now suffering from palladium poisoning."
"I don't think he's found a solution yet."
"So he might be..."
"His mood and spirit might not be too good!"
"Oh
"Oh no! Tony, I came to have tea with you." Lin Feng waved his hand. He couldn't fight the system, and he couldn't fight Tony either.
"Tea? I don't have time for tea." Tony shook his head, disliking the bitter taste. It was like chlorophyll; he drank it to alleviate the palladium poisoning.
"Don't say that, my friend! Trust me, my tea isn't something everyone can get."
Lin Feng stepped forward, put his arm around Tony's shoulders without further ado, and dragged him upstairs.
"It's much more effective than chlorophyll, you'll like it."
"You know?" Tony looked at Lin Feng, who was winking at him, and pointed to the reactor on his chest. He asked uncertainly.
"Of course, I know, Tony." Lin Feng sighed and said, "Palladium poisoning, I can figure that out."
Tony fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say. He could only let Lin Feng drag him to the sofa in the living room.
"Here's your hot water, Lin Feng!" Pepper came down with a tray, placing the hot water and cups on the table.
"Oh? Pepper, you're here too?" Tony's eyebrows rose. He felt that Pepper's expression today was a little off.
Tony turned to look at Lin Feng.
"Man... she's not... also..."
"That's right! I know, Tony!" Pepper also sat on the sofa.
"Oh, for crying out loud!" Tony slapped his own face.
"Buddy, are you going to let the whole world know I'm surviving on chlorophyll right now!"
"Don't blame Lin Feng, Tony!" Pepper stared straight at Tony, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, hurt, but more than anything, worry.
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Uh... Pepper, it's not that I didn't tell you."
"I've been looking for a solution, believe me."
"And even if I told you, it wouldn't have helped."
Upon hearing this, Little Pepper's face was filled with hurt.
"Damn it!" Tony, having said the wrong thing, cursed inwardly, realizing he was in trouble. He quickly tried to explain, "I didn't mean that, Pepper, I just..."
"You think I'm useless, don't you, Tony!" Tears welled up in Pepper's eyes.
"I'm resigning, I'm resigning!"
"Tony! You never care about other people's feelings! I've had enough!"
"No, no, no," Tony panicked.
"I don't mean you're useless! I didn't mean that, Pepper, listen to me!"
"Then what did you mean?! You didn't even tell me you were poisoned by palladium!"
The more she thought about it, the more wronged Little Pepper felt, and she started to cry.
"I mean!" Tony took a deep breath. "I want you to be the CEO..."
