“Damn it… I only loved Pepper before, she’s my true love, there’s something wrong with what you said.”
Seeing Roddy come in, Stark broke away from Pepper’s arms, stood up and walked to the bar while explaining himself.
Gwen had changed into a waitress’s outfit at some point and was trying to make cocktails using Stark’s expensive collection.
“Hey beautiful lady, why don’t you make a cocktail for your boss?”
Gwen, who was obsessed with cosplay, glanced at Tony Stark unhappily and said, “If you want, you can do it yourself.”
She was just a figurehead at Stark Group, she wasn’t really working for Stark.
Mainly, she wanted to stop her old father, Chief George, from worrying about her. She should use her decreasing hair for the safety of all New York citizens and catch more drug dealers.
“I mean that guy, you can help him make a drink.”
Tony Stark was not angry even when he was criticized, because Gwen was almost twenty years younger than him.
If Tony had not been so romantic back then, his daughter might be this old now.
He was leaning against the bar with a smirk on his face, and turned back to glance at Rody who was walking over.
…
“Yeah~”
“Hello~ Boss, what can I do for you?”
When she saw Rody, Gwen’s expression suddenly changed. She showed a sweet smile and waved at Rody seductively.
Seeing Gwen’s flirtatious look, Roddy turned away expressionlessly.
No hit!
He knew very well that he could not be deceived by Gwen’s seemingly ‘sweet’ smile, because Gwen was a real red-backed black widow.
and.
I’ve been getting more and more irritable lately.
Especially when her relatives come to visit her, the bad guys in New York City have to be careful.
Although the Spider Queen changed her name to Spider-Woman, she is still as ruthless as ever.
“Why are you dressed like this?”
Walking up to the bar, Roddy greeted Jessica who was sitting on the sofa. Without disturbing Dr. Connors who had turned his attention back to Jarvis, he turned around and asked casually.
“I’ve been watching Japanese anime recently, and there’s one about three sisters in a cafe that I really like.”
Gwen replied with a grin.
“Are you talking about the Cat’s Eye Sisters?”
Rody was a little surprised to hear this. Is there an anime called Cat’s Eye Sisters in this world?
But then I thought, why not?
After sitting down.
“Where did you go today? I didn’t see you when I came back.” Tony Stark interrupted.
“Oh, your speech was so boring, I went to find some fun.”
“what?!”
Tony’s voice immediately rose several pitches.
“Hey, whose speech did you say was boring? Damn it, did you even listen to my speech? And there were so many cheers. Did you say my speech was too boring?”
Tony suddenly became furious and resisted the urge to reach out and strangle Roddy.
But he failed to see the smile hidden behind Roddy’s mask: “It looks like you will be very busy for some time to come.”
“Busy flying around the states on tour.”
In addition to drinks, food is also indispensable at a party.
Most of them are fried foods, but with a rich man like Tony Stark here, all kinds of abalone, lobster, seafood and bird’s nest are available for you to use at will.
Roddy had just eaten two hot dogs all afternoon and was a little hungry.
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the open balcony, took out a few juicy steaks, and brought back two bottles of beer.
He didn’t eat very fast, he even ate slowly, but a large piece of steak was stuffed into his stomach right under Tony’s nose.
“Oh my God, you never take off the mask on your face at any time?”
Tony Stark obviously didn’t know about the Bull Warrior, but he still felt helpless when he saw Rhodey wearing a mask while eating, and the mask would open or close.
More of a curiosity.
“Let me make a deal. How about you take off your mask and let me see what you really look like?”
We are all in the same boat now.
Tony’s request was not excessive, and Gwen, who had known Roddy’s identity for a long time but had never said it, also looked at him.
Want to see how Rhodey will respond to Tony’s inquiry.
Rody was stunned for a moment after hearing this: “Didn’t I tell you my true identity?”
“…”
The air becomes quiet.
Tony immediately rolled his eyes: “What do you think?”
“Ahem… I’m used to this. The mask is very breathable.” Seeing Tony Stark’s look of disbelief, Rhodey trembled his eyebrows and took off the mask on his face neatly.
At the moment of taking it off, Tony’s eyes flashed with disbelief. He probably didn’t expect Rody to take off the mask so easily. He stared at Rody, and the result was…
Under the mask, a ghost face appeared in front of Tony.
Just like the faceless man in the legend, with no facial features, no mouth or nose, just laughing at Tony.
How to smile without a mouth?
Of course it’s the muscles trembling, you can imagine it yourself.
When I laugh, my egg-shaped face trembles…
In an instant, the chill ran from Tony’s feet to the top of his head.
My whole body suddenly shuddered.
“Fake!!”
He jumped up from his chair, his face distorted with fear.
Seeing this, Roddy burst into laughter.
“Are you scared? Hahaha. I didn’t expect you to be afraid of ghosts, Tony. Could it be that you have done too many bad things?”
As he spoke, the seemingly thin layer of skin on his face quickly disappeared. It was just a magic trick.
Show your true self.
It has been so long now that Jessica and the others all know his identity, and there is no need to hide it from Tony who has been kept in the dark.
Part of the reason why Roddy has been wearing a mask all this time is that he doesn’t want his face to appear on the public screen to avoid a celebrity-like effect where he would be surrounded by fans wherever he goes.
Another reason is that he forgot…
Yes, I indeed forgot about it. The Black God suit feels almost nothing on the skin and it is extremely breathable.
For example, people who wear glasses every day have long been accustomed to wearing them and are too lazy to take them off when taking a shower, so they can just wash them with their glasses on.
If Tony hadn’t asked him, Rhodey would have thought that old man Stark already knew his identity.
“I didn’t expect that the confidentiality work was done very well.”
Roddy smiled proudly, then took a sip of the cocktail handed to him by Gwen. The next second, he felt a sour and refreshing feeling rushing straight to the top of his head.
“puff!”
“What the hell! What the hell is this?!”
Roddy’s expression suddenly became strange, with a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty feelings. His eyelids twitched wildly and he raised his head to look at Gwen who had an innocent expression on her face.
“Hehe~ I’m trying it now.” Gwen put her hands behind her back embarrassedly.
“Wait a minute, you…how could that be, oh I don’t believe it!”
At this time, Tony Stark, who was confused after seeing Rhodey’s true appearance, finally reacted and began to speak incoherently.
Seeing Rody tilting his head at him in confusion.
“What’s your problem?”
“Damn it, I was fooled by a little kid?” Tony said at last, feeling very aggrieved.
His eyes were full of doubt about life.
He was unwilling to believe it at first, but there was no need for Roddy to lie to him, right?
“Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by being played around by a little kid?”
Upon hearing this, Roddy narrowed his eyes unhappily.
If Stark thought he could do something to him just because he looked young, then he would have to use his fists to make Stark understand his identity.
“I mean…how old are you?”
“eighteen!”
“Damn it!” Tony swore.
“I meant centimeters.” Roddy smiled slightly, and it was obvious that he was very proud of himself.
“I’m only seventeen now.”
“Oh…well, that’s a bit short.” Unexpectedly, Stark didn’t dwell on Roddy’s age for a long time. Instead, he looked disgusted and clicked his tongue.
“It’s not okay even if you’re only eighteen.”
Roddy was successfully impressed by this guy’s shameless spirit, and his face darkened a little.
“Stark, I remember you’ve been practicing the technique I taught you for a while. How about we try sparring? I can give you some pointers.”
