So this Ivan Vanko might be Anton Vanko's son?" Tony Stark finally understood the riddle that Phil Coulson was playing.
"I remember Anton Vanko seemed to have a son. Calculating the time, he must have already reached adulthood," Phil Coulson said. "But I only glanced at this information casually and didn't look at it carefully, so I don't know if that son is Ivan Vanko."
"Based on the information you provided..." Tony Stark thought for a moment and said, "Compared to Arnim Zola, I think Ivan Vanko is more likely."
"Then answer the question, Stark," Clint Barton said. "This is about you."
"Since you have the answer, then answer it." Phil Coulson also said.
Thor shrugged, looking nonchalant.
"Okay then..." Tony Stark said as he looked at the question, "I choose A, Ivan Vanko!"
[Answer correctly! Rewards will be given!]
A black, seemingly inconspicuous piece of metal appeared on the ground.
"This looks like a trick of Loki..." As Thor watched the vibranium appear out of thin air, he couldn't help but think of Loki. Loki had this ability to create things out of thin air.
"Is this vibranium?" Tony Stark couldn't help but squat down and touch the cold metal with his hand.
He had heard of this legendary metal a long time ago. He knew that his father, Howard Stark, had used vibranium to forge a shield for Captain America, but he had never seen real vibranium with his own eyes.
"Is this metal precious?" Thor had never heard of vibranium.
"This is the hardest metal on Earth, practically indestructible," Phil Coulson explained. "It can also absorb energy and eliminate vibrations..."
"That sounds too ordinary." Thor lost interest before he finished listening.
"Of course it can't compare to your hammer," Phil Coulson said, "but it's the most precious metal on Earth. It's said that one gram of vibranium costs $10,000."
"Is this expensive?" Tony Stark couldn't help but ask when he heard what Phil Coulson said.
"..." Phil Coulson was speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to utter, "Stark, do you think everyone is as rich as you?"
"I'm saying, what you should focus on isn't the price, but what it can do," Tony Stark said as he stood up. "If I put vibranium in my armor, its combat effectiveness would at least triple. Even if it cost ten times as much, let alone $10,000 per gram, it would be worth it."
"Coulson, if you know what's good for you, just shut up." Clint Barton walked over to Phil Coulson. "I knew that people like us could never be friends with the rich. We live in completely different worlds. The most painful thing is that something that is out of reach for us is like cabbage in the field for others, easy to pick up."
"Okay, let's look at the title." Phil Coulson agreed with Clint Barton. "Anton Vanko had a rough time after being exiled to Siberia. He was displaced, drunk, and cynical. So I think he must be extremely resentful."
"Hate my father?" Tony Stark said.
"Is it my father?" Phil Coulson asked back, "Stark, if Ivan Vanko is really Anton Vanko's son, then I think you have to be on guard."
"Will he seek revenge on me? I haven't offended them."
"Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine your father developed a technology together with someone else's father, and your father was exiled abroad by that other person's father, leading a life of misery and loneliness. Meanwhile, the son of that person who exiled your father becomes a brilliant and successful man, possessing countless wealth and beautiful women, and even becoming a hero admired by everyone. Would you resent him?"
"Probably.
"
"So you'd better be careful."
At this time, a video appeared in the space.
The first thing that caught the eye was a black luxury car. The door opened and Tony Stark, wearing sunglasses and a suit, got out. Then Pepper Potts, wearing a shoulder-baring dress, and Happy, wearing a black suit, also got out of the car. Happy was holding a red box in his hand, which was obviously a battle armor.
"I'm right here!" Tony Stark opened his mouth in surprise when he saw this opening.
"Stark, we know you're here and we're watching the video too," said Clint Barton.
"I mean, I'm right there right now, at the racetrack in Morocco," Tony Stark said. "Before I was pulled into the question-answering space, I was exactly where it is in the video! And I was in that same car! And Pepper was wearing that same outfit!"
When everyone looked, they saw that Tony Stark was wearing a racing suit and was obviously preparing to race.
He was indeed at the racetrack before coming in.
"Doesn't this mean that this is a future that will happen very soon?" The people in the answering room immediately perked up.
Although several people have reached a preliminary consensus that the questioner can predict the future, no one except Tony Stark has ever witnessed the complete process of the questioner's prediction of the future.
So now that they knew that the future of Tony Stark shown in the video was right before their eyes, they all secretly made up their minds to verify immediately after they got out whether what happened in the video had actually happened at the racetrack in Morocco.
Although Tony Stark firmly believed that the answering space could predict the future, since it was about his own future, he watched it intently.
In the video, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and their companions walked into a luxurious room. A slender woman in a red dress came up to them with a smile on her face. "Mr. Stark, did you have a good trip?"
"Very interesting," Tony Stark said to Natasha Romanoff. "Nice to meet you."
"There's a photographer from the Moroccan Stadium Club who wants to take your picture. Is that okay?" Natasha Romanoff asked.
Tony Stark smiled, and then Natasha Romanoff went to greet the photographer.
"What the hell?" Tony Stark, in the Answer Space, was stunned when he saw the video show him and Natasha Romanoff actually knowing each other, and they looked very familiar. "The reason I know Natasha Romanoff now is entirely because of this Answer Space. The future shown in that video is a future that didn't appear in the Answer Space. How could I know her in that future?"
But after a moment's thought, he understood, "It was Nick Fury! Nick Fury must have sent her to approach me."
