Anthony Edward Stark returned to his ocean-view mansion in a drunken stupor. Carrying two bottles of twenty-five year whiskey in his hand, he staggered as he opened the front door and fell headfirst onto the sofa. Chili Pepper appeared in the doorway of the living room and leaned against the doorframe to watch him.
"Friday!" Stark said vaguely, "Turn on the TV …"
"Antonio!" Little Pepper began to shout Stark's name. "You have brains, you have money, and you have me! You have the identity of an avenger and an Iron Man, a child's dream, but now you're here drinking whiskey and destroying your own life! Why is this happening? What has robbed you of your courage? "
"Get lost … I don't want to hear you yell!" Stark said in a low voice.
Little Pepper's face was dejected. She turned her head away, not wanting Tonny to see the tears in her eyes. She said in a low voice, "I'm going to quit! Stark! "
Tonny did not answer. He hid his face under the sofa.
As an artificial intelligence, Friday was obedient and quiet, not daring to make a sound.
Little Chili Pepper finally gave up all hope. She turned around and prepared to leave. As she walked towards the door in her high heels, Stack's head that was buried under the sofa mumbled something inexplicable, "We're all going to die! The whole world will be dark … there is no hope! "
Little Pepper stopped, tears falling from her eyes. She turned back to Stark and said, "We will all die … but we still have hope! Only those who give up will give up hope! "
"You don't understand what I saw … Pepper!" Stark seemed unmoved.
"I've already moved my things out!" Little Pepper said, "I think I need to be alone to clear my head … and you need to be alone too … Live on with your whiskey! I don't care anymore! "
Pepper slammed the door and left. Tonny lifted his head from the sofa and poured himself a glass of whiskey. He said to Friday, "Add some ice … turn on the TV!"
The TV that took up an entire wall of his mansion was switched on. A mechanical hand took out ice cubes from the fridge and placed them into the wine glass. Friday hesitated and said, "Sir, your alcohol consumption today has exceeded the Federation's alcohol limit!"
"Do you think it's your turn to lecture me?" Stark scolded in annoyance.
The voice of a news broadcast came from the television. "… It can be seen on the West Coast. We have received reports from amateur astronomy enthusiasts. From eight o 'clock in the morning to six o' clock in the afternoon, we were able to observe the floating pyramid with astronomical telescopes. According to some sources, it rose from Egypt. Thousands of locals witnessed the Step Pyramid opening up a passage, and the giant object, which was nearly a kilometer tall and hundreds of meters wide, flew out of it … "
"Before that, the entire western hemisphere could see the projection of the eagle in the sky. This was the largest and most detailed UFO incident in human history! Where did it come from? Was it an alien spaceship lurking on Earth, or a masterpiece of an ancient civilization? Is it a miracle built by the Egyptian pharaohs, or is it evidence of aliens in Earth's history? "
"It's the Cybertrons!" The local named Sam vowed solemnly, "About 4000 years ago, 13 Progenitor Cybertan Elders came to Earth and enslaved the local residents to build the pyramids. They built this machine at the bottom of the pyramids, and the key to opening this machine is the energy matrix. Once the energy matrix is activated, the floating pyramid will turn the sun into an tinder and bring it back to save their planet … This is the aliens' conspiracy! "
The beautiful reporter continued the interview, "Then how did you know all this?"
Sam said enthusiastically, "When my grandfather was exploring the South Pole, he once discovered the leader of the Cybertronians, Megatron. It engraved the knowledge of the Cybertronians into my grandfather's glasses. One day … I put on my glasses … and my Chevrolet changed shape … Kakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkak...
The laughter of the locals could be heard in the background of the interview. "Come on! Sam, your grandfather is a shoemaker. He's never been to the South Pole. "
"Do you still believe in your dream?"
"Crazy Sam … Crazy Sam, your family doesn't have a Chevrolet sports car, only a broken Ford pickup truck!"
"Why not? I picked it up from the garbage myself!" Sam argued.
The beautiful reporter was embarrassed and disheveled. Why did she have to interview a lunatic? The director quickly switched the scene back to the scene. An expert who looked like a dog was explaining, "We all know about the existence of aliens. From the Battle of New York to the Disaster of New York, it's natural that the ancient Egyptians had contact with aliens. In ancient Egypt, the image of the gods that the local people worshiped might have come from … the pharaohs claimed to be the children of God. They intermarried, and modern scientific research shows that the genes of the pharaohs …"
Stark raised his hand to turn off the TV. He said in a low voice, "Idiot … I'd rather listen to that lunatic's crazy talk. At least it's interesting. Those idiots always talk about … aliens, aliens. But they don't know that right next to them, China … is a living alien country. "
"Aliens are your neighbors, separated only by the Pacific Ocean!"
With a drunken look, Stack pulled out the information that Steve had asked him for. With familiarity, he chose a piece of vellum. On it was a drawing of a building that looked exactly like the floating pyramid on TV. Tony flipped over the piece of vellum. On the back of the paper were some seemingly useless graffiti and messy words.
Stark stared at the graffiti of a spear and a shield for a long time. He suddenly stood up, went to the bathroom and splashed a few handfuls of cold water on his face. He called Nick Fury and said, "One-eyed Wolf, I need information about what Steve took from you … I won't trade him for wine …"
After getting the promise, Stark sat on the sofa and looked through the information that he was already very familiar with, waiting for the data from S.H.I.E.L.D. He looked up the outdated information of the Magic Spear Bureau, inquired about Steve's movements, and asked the Department of Defense for information about the floating pyramid.
He even called his old friend Crow — "Hey! Isn't this the head of our arms dealers, the Man of Steel? "
Crow crossed his legs on the desk, leaned back in his chair, and said to Stark, "It's rare for you to contact me! Benefactor? "
"Let's talk about the past later!" Stark said straightforwardly, "I want what happened to Steve at your place. Video, text, or you can tell me in person! Anything is fine! Stark Industries will support your vibranium futures! "
"You don't care about that poor king?" Crow laughed. "Your comrade, Captain America, is very supportive of him. He has brought us a lot of trouble!"
"No one will support a dictator … What era are we in now? The people don't need a king! "Stark said," Send me the information … You know my email address! "
