"I find it hard to believe that he once said that the entire future depends on me, and that he passed on this responsibility to me! I don't understand! His happiest day was when he sent me to boarding school! "
Chen Mo shook his head gently.
"That's not the case, I don't think you know him."
"Dad, although you were once his comrade-in-arms, do you know him better than me, his son?"
Faced with Tony Stark's doubts, Chen Mo nodded.
"In fact, Howard was not only my comrade-in-arms, but he was also one of the founding members of S.H.E.L.D.!"
"What?!"
Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim out loud.
Before this, he only knew that his father Howard and Chen Mo once fought together on the European battlefield. Of course, Howard was a logistics researcher who provided them with technology and equipment support.
As for S.H.E.L.D., although Chen Mo also told them some secrets of S.H.E.L.D., including Sharon's background, Captain America, Steve Rogers, and Peggy Carter's fake deaths, Chen Mo didn't mention Howard, so he didn't think much about it. Now that he connected the dots, it wasn't impossible for him to accept it.
According to Chen Mo, in order to maintain world peace and protect the safety of the earth, he, Steve, Carter, and others jointly established S.H.E.L.D., hiding behind the scenes. He didn't say who founded S.H.E.L.D., but the three of them were all comrades who fought together with Howard in Europe, so it wasn't surprising that Howard founded S.H.E.L.D. with them.
Even so, Tonny still found it difficult to accept.
In his impression, Howard was a workaholic and arms dealer who was obsessed with scientific and technological research and development, putting all his energy into scientific research and Stark Industries. Although Howard founded the large-scale Stark Industries and left behind a large number of scientific and technological achievements, Tony Stark didn't have much respect for his father.
For example, his identity as a scientific genius and a super-rich man didn't make him proud because there was no difference between him and Howard. In the end, he was just an arms dealer. He had always been shrouded in Howard's shadow and couldn't surpass Howard's achievements in these two fields.
This made him even more dissatisfied with himself. On one hand, he continued to develop new arms and companies, trying to surpass Howard and prove himself, but on the other hand, he continued to indulge himself.
Because he didn't find the true value of life!
His arrogance, selfishness, indifference, and dissolute were just a cover for his empty heart!
It wasn't until he experienced a terrorist kidnapping in Afghanistan and became "Iron Man" that he suddenly realized that the identity of "Iron Man" made him feel that his life finally had meaning for the first time. He was no longer a mediocre ordinary person, but a Superhero who protected the world!
The heavy sense of responsibility and the sense of honor brought about by saving civilians made him feel deeply proud! He finally found the meaning of his life!
Therefore, he didn't hide his identity at the press conference and shouted, "I am Iron Man!"
After that, he finally broke through the shadow of Howard and felt that he had finally proven himself.
But his feelings for Howard, in addition to being too strict and lacking in love and recognition when he was young, he also felt a little disdain for him.
You've been working hard for your company and making money your whole life, but in the end, you're just a selfish arms dealer!
But now, he learned from Chen Mo that his father, Howard, was also the founder of S.H.E.L.D., whose purpose was to protect the earth. Doesn't that mean …?!
Tony Stark looked at Chen Mo in disbelief, his eyes full of curiosity.
Chen Mo met his gaze and nodded gently.
"Yes, the reason why he's so busy every day is not for his company, but for S.H.E.L.D., for the world!"
When Tony Stark heard this, his expression became extremely complicated.
"It's also because of this heavy responsibility that he had to give up the opportunity to accompany you. In fact, he loves you very much! It's just that he didn't express it. Instead, he chose a more profound way. He has high expectations for you! "
Tony Stark's eyes flashed violently. Obviously, his heart was not calm. For so many years, he had always thought that his father, Howard, didn't love him, but Chen Mo told him that was not the case! For a while, it was difficult for him to accept!
Shaking his head, Tony Stark looked at Chen Mo blankly and said with a conflicted heart.
"I don't know … He used to …"
Chen Mo didn't explain any more. Instead, he patted Tony Stark on the shoulder and said softly.
"Maybe you should see what he left for you, maybe there's the answer you want in it!"
"What he left for me?"
Tony Stark was confused.
"Yes, think about it, maybe you threw it in a corner."
Chen Mo reminded him.
At this time, many years have passed since Howard "faked his death". It was normal for him to not remember it for a while.
With Chen Mo's reminder, the dusty memories in Tony Stark's mind gradually awakened. He finally had a little impression of what Chen Mo said. It seemed that after Howard "died", he did leave something behind. However, the pain of suddenly losing his parents and his dissatisfaction with Howard made him choose to escape. He didn't organize those relics properly, but sealed them directly.
That's right! Father, Howard did leave something for him. It was in the utility room at the bottom of the villa!
Seeing Tony Stark's eyes lit up, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile. He finally remembered!
Tony Stark urgently wanted to find out what kind of feelings his father had for him. He immediately left Chen Mo and Dr. Ethan and hurriedly left the laboratory and went to the long-forgotten utility room.
Pushing open the door, a messy scene came into view. Most of the things here were useless, including some machines, equipment, and weapon prototypes that he had made in the past.
With complicated feelings, Tony Stark walked slowly into the depths of the room.
Finally, in the corner of the utility room, Tony Stark found the box left by his father, Howard. After many years, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on it.
Tony Stark squatted down, reached out, and slowly brushed away the dust on the surface, and a name appeared.
"Howard Stark!"
