He couldn't believe his eyes…
That a future warrior, a black figure, like Chen Xi, would suddenly appear before him wasn't the main issue.
He had witnessed with his own eyes the material, seemingly alive, rapidly writhing and covering Chen Xi's entire body. He had never seen anything like this bizarre process.
Noble, mysterious, and powerful!
Even just standing there, the invisible pressure was overwhelming. He even sensed a hint of an evil, eerie aura.
"What material is that? Is there a company that has nanotechnology this advanced?"
Tony refused to accept it. He had always believed that his Stark Industries represented the pinnacle of Earth's technology.
"Sorry, that's a trade secret."
Chen Xi said with a smile.
This was like killing Tony, who was intensely curious and had obsessive-compulsive tendencies…
"If you don't finish what you're saying, you'll get a rotten tongue!"
Tony growled, suppressing the urge to strangle him.
So this guy's personality was just as awful as his own!!
"Hahaha, if you hand over all of your Iron Man Armor to me, I might consider telling you a few secrets."
Chen Xi laughed heartily, patting his shoulder. This attitude of not caring what happened to him made Tony grind his teeth in fury…
"Hmph! You can't have my Iron Man Armor. It's just nanotechnology. You think I can't do it myself?"
Tony swore he would give him a good thrashing.
This was infuriating, for fuck's sake!
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'll just wait and see, but I'm curious if you'll even live long enough."
Chen Xi pointed at the hole in Tony's chest. If it weren't for the palladium poisoning, this guy would probably be done for, right?
It's like they say, "No pain, no gain," everything happens for a reason.
"Sigh, you can't fool you. You even know about my palladium poisoning. I also have a big announcement today."
Tony sighed, his expression turning gloomy.
Even ants strive to survive, let alone humans...
"Are you kidding? Of course, I know Palladium is poisonous! I'm a sci-fi movie writer, after all."
"But don't worry, go with peace of mind. To put it in the words of my hometown: 'After you die, I will take care of your wife; you have nothing to worry about.'"
Chen Xi winked at Tony, then patted his shoulder and smirked.
Tony didn't understand all the implications, but he got the gist. He immediately raised his fist to punch this… this Cao Cao!
"Chen Xi, fuck you! You dare to covet my Pepper? Fuck you!!"
"There's a saying, don't you know, 'Don't covet your friend's wife'? You cultural degenerate!!"
Tony was furious!!
Are you even human? Fuck you!
"Hahaha, don't worry, just go. I'll drive your luxury car with Pepper, and live in your villa while bossing Jarvis around."
"So, the meaning of your lifelong efforts was for me to live the life you were supposed to have? Thanks."
Chen Xi laughed as he ran, infuriating Tony, who wanted nothing more than to chase after him and punch his lights out. But this guy was as slippery as an eel, darting back and forth, impossible to catch.
At that moment, Pepper walked in. Seeing the living room, which looked like it had been robbed, and then seeing Tony, red-faced with anger, she immediately understood…
"Chen Xi, have you been upsetting Tony again?"
Pepper rolled her eyes, chiding him playfully.
"Pepper, you're misunderstanding me. How could I possibly be angry with an old man? What if he gets so angry he dies?" Chen Xi mocked Tony again…
Tony was about to retort when Pepper spoke.
"Alright, alright, Tony, it's time. Didn't you have something important to announce? Get on with it."
Pepper couldn't understand why Tony always seemed to lose when he went up against Chen Xi. Could it be that he was getting old?
"Hmph! I won't bother arguing with a kid. I'm the bigger person."
Tony, being quite arrogant, adjusted his clothes and gave Chen Xi a sideways glance before strutting out of the living room like a proud rooster…
Chen Xi didn't understand why this guy was so self-absorbed.
"Don't worry, Tony. If you want Vibranium, just send me your Iron Man Armor, and I'll give it to you for free."
Chen Xi called out to his back, but Tony just waved his hand without turning around. Would he, Tony, ever submit?
"Don't mind him, Tony can be childish sometimes, you know how it is~"
Pepper explained apologetically for Tony, as she always did, excusing his stubborn arrogance.
"It must be tiring to be with a guy like that. Want to consider hanging out with me instead?" Chen Xi joked.
"I'm quite expensive, you probably can't afford me."
Pepper replied with a laugh, thinking that although Chen Xi was younger, stronger, and more handsome than Tony, well… like attracts like.
"Haha, a gentleman doesn't steal another man's love."
Chen Xi laughed heartily.
"Yes, you are indeed more charming than Tony."
Pepper said sincerely.
"No, no, no, you're all wrong. Not just you, but everyone. My personality is nothing compared to Tony's charm," Chen Xi corrected, waving his hand.
"Are you kidding me? Everyone knows how awful and arrogant Tony is."
Pepper wondered if she had misheard. Someone was actually praising Tony's charm? Did he even have any?
"Haha, time will tell."
Chen Xi smiled mysteriously, leaving Pepper, who was doubting her ears and brain, utterly bewildered...
In the middle of the party stage.
Tony was talking into the microphone, while Chen Xi stood in the corner, holding a wine glass and listening. He had to admit, this guy was really good at boasting.
"Finally, I have an announcement to make. From this moment forward, I, Tony Stark, will no longer be the CEO of Stark Industries. I will be resigning from all my positions. Pepper will take over as CEO of Stark Industries and will be fully in charge of all matters."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the entire party erupted. The sound of discussion instantly drowned everything else out. Tony's decision was incomprehensible to everyone.
Pepper was also dumbfounded by Tony's baffling move…
She was completely stunned!
Why didn't he discuss this with her beforehand? She couldn't accept the appointment, so could the board of directors?
The only person in the entire venue who seemed unfazed was Chen Xi, because he knew Tony would do this.
"Mr. Chen Xi, aren't you at all surprised? It seems like you were the only one who knew this in advance."
At that moment, an elegant and intelligent female voice spoke.
Chen Xi had just turned his head when he saw a graceful figure in a wine-red dress approaching.
