After Arthur had said that, he had the feeling that there had been a big misunderstanding.
Especially Tony's face, which had gone from a terrible pallor to an alarming mix of black and white, with a touch of green and a hint of blue. If Arthur didn't say something soon, Tony might become angry enough to die on the spot.
"Misunderstanding, this is a huge misunderstanding! What do kids think these days?"
Arthur explained quickly, "When I used to drink with your father, he often got so drunk that he couldn't get up. I had to grab him by the collar and take him home. So it's not surprising that I know your dad's weight!"
"You...who are you?"
Tony struggled to breathe, not sure if it was because his heart was not pumping enough blood or because of Arthur's words.
The elevator doors opened, and Arthur's eyes immediately landed on the Arc Reactor on the table.
It was enclosed in a glass case and looked like a display item.
Arthur carried Tony over to the table, smashed the glass, and removed the Arc Reactor. After adjusting the connections, he placed it firmly in Tony's chest.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!"
The surge of energy made Tony scream. The sweat on his forehead began to dissipate, and his complexion slowly regained some color.
"Who exactly are you?"
Tony's first concern was Arthur's identity.
Arthur blinked: "Would you believe me if I said I was here to borrow money?"
"Mr. I am going to be a God?" Tony frowned.
Arthur was surprised: "Is my voice really that distinctive?"
"No, I recognized you by the way you spoke," Tony said with intense concentration. "And among the people I know, you're the only one who would talk about my father like that!"
Arthur thought for two seconds before speaking: "So, are you thinking of calling me 'Godfather'?"
Tony looked around and Arthur wondered, "What are you looking for?"
"I remember there was a wrench here, but it's missing," Tony said with a dark expression, obviously ready to take it out on Arthur.
"Now might not be the best time for you to take your frustrations out on me," Arthur said. "Although I don't know exactly what happened, you seem to be in a pretty bad situation."
As he spoke, someone called out from outside, "Tony, Tony!"
"I'm here, I'm fine!"
Tony replied quickly.
Soon a black man walked in and stopped when he saw Arthur, "Who are you?"
"Mr. God!" Arthur replied.
"..." The black man took a moment to process. What the hell kind of a name is that?
"Where's Pepper?" Tony didn't introduce them, and in fact, he hoped no one would know of Arthur's presence, if possible.
"She took five agents to catch Stane!"
"Believe me, five agents are not going to be enough!"
"Where did the agents come from?" Arthur blinked.
He shouldn't have said anything. As soon as he spoke, the black man asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Monster!" Arthur replied.
"Huh?"
"Anyway, I have to leave immediately!"
Tony abruptly interrupted their conversation and walked to a corner of the basement where he changed into his suit.
To be honest, it looked incredibly cool.
As he stood, the suit activated and began to cover Tony from head to toe!
The Arc Reactor on his chest flashed with light and the suit's 'eyes' opened!
"What are you going to do?" Tony asked Arthur.
"I'm going to catch a flight," Arthur said as he came up behind Iron Man and grabbed his shoulders.
"Anything I can do to help?" The black man asked.
"Keep the airways clear!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Tony's palms turned downward and a burst of energy ignited from his hands. In an instant, they shot into the sky!
With the roof above him, Tony, intentionally or not, carried Arthur through several layers of the roof and soared into the sky.
Tony's armor was undamaged, but Arthur looked disheveled, like someone who had just escaped a catastrophe.
"This is personal revenge!"
Arthur grabbed Tony's armor with one hand and rubbed his head with the other.
The damage wasn't enough to be severe, but it was really painful!
"You're definitely not a normal person!" Tony's voice came through as they were hurtling towards New York at an insane speed.
At that speed, Arthur was still able to speak casually, which was clearly abnormal.
"If I were a normal person, I'd be dead from the impact! Your father wouldn't keep guessing like you do."
Arthur said, "I came to see you about something, but it looks like you might not have time now!"
"Stop mentioning my dad!"
Iron Man seemed a little frustrated as he spoke: "Did you really come to borrow money from me?"
As he spoke, he started to make a phone call.
Arthur didn't mind and said, "Of course. You're the only rich person I know."
"That's not possible!"
Then Arthur heard a familiar female voice asking in confusion, "What's not possible?"
"No, I'm not talking to you. Pepper, get out of there right now!"
"Hey, Pepper? Long time no see!"
Arthur joined the conversation.
"Oh my God, Arthur, is that you?"
"How do you two know each other?" Tony asked in shock.
In the midst of the confusion, Arthur realized that somehow they had already traveled from Malibu Beach to the skies over New York.
This insane speed!
It had taken Arthur almost two hours to fly here, and now? Ten minutes?
Tony's speed suddenly slowed and he said, "I hope you don't die falling out of the sky!"
"What?"
Arthur was surprised to feel Tony's downward force suddenly increase. At the same time, a large metal object appeared in front of him!
Tony, in his current action, charged at the object with relentless force.
"You are ruthless!"
Arthur abruptly let go and disappeared into the air.
Meanwhile, Tony slammed the metal object into the ground with a loud crash, leaving a large crater and leaving Pepper staring at the edge of the crater in shock.
In a flash, Arthur appeared next to Pepper and let out a sigh, saying, "To be honest, that flight was quite exhilarating!"
"Arthur?" Pepper turned at the sound of his voice and saw his clothes. "So it was you who fought the Lizard on the roof?"
Arthur blinked: "What? By the way, how did the name 'Instructor' become so famous? I think I only used it once…"
"No, Tony!"
Pepper ignored Arthur's comments and immediately abandoned any plans to catch up with him. She began searching for Tony's whereabouts.

Capítulo 111: MD-Chapter 111 A Bit of Extortion?
Arthur glanced at the crater on the ground but noticed that neither of the two combatants was there.
Meanwhile, gunfire, explosions, and the roar of engines echoed from a nearby street. In a few quick moves, Arthur appeared beside the highway, just in time to see Tony fighting the Iron Monger.
Okay, technically the guy's name was Iron Monger, but Arthur felt that "Iron Monger" didn't sound as imposing as "Little Overlord," and even "Little Overlord" wasn't as impressive as "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman."
With his arms crossed, Arthur watched the two metal giants go at it for a while. Their fight consisted mostly of shooting at each other, grabbing whatever was around and hurling it at the other.
The highway had become their playground, especially for "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman", who was clearly having a good time.
He grabbed cars and motorcycles like they were toys and swung them at Tony.
'This is where superheroes get the short end of the stick,' Arthur siletly thought.
If the vehicles were empty, then everrthing would be fine, but if there were people inside, Tony couldn't just destroy them. He'd have to catch the cars, and if they ran him over, he'd take it without complaining.
Arthur watched for a while, sensing that Tony was holding back. It was clear that he couldn't fully unleash his power in this environment. So Arthur called out, "Need some help, kid?"
"No!!!" Tony snapped back angrily.
There was no way he was going to ask for help! And who was he calling "kid" anyway?
Arthur, feeling a bit annoyed, continued to watch without moving a muscle...
Tony suddenly took off into the sky, followed by the "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman".
This was getting a little ridiculous for Arthur. Tony's takeoff was fine, if a little unconventional, but at least it looked cool.
But the way "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman", took off was something else. It was like a storm erupted from his feet, with smoke and flames billowing out as he rumbled into the sky!
And the worst part was that his ascent was not only bizarre but also slow. Arthur, with a flash of thought, vanished from his place and reappeared in the air five meters above the ground!
'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!'
Arthur hummed the nursery rhyme to himself as he floated upward, eventually landing on the back of "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman."
Despite his slow start, "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman" gradually picked up speed, moving faster and faster.
Arthur thought for a moment. Even though Tony said he didn't need any help, why should he listen to him? Tony wasn't even willing to lend him money!
Arthur placed his hand on the "Bald Strongman's" back, intending to store a piece of his armor in his Disassembler. In an instant, however, the "Iron Man, the Bald Strongman" vanished into thin air, leaving a bewildered middle-aged bald man floating helplessly in mid-air!
In that brief moment, the man's forehead might as well have had the words "Life's Big Questions" written on it.
But before he could find any answers, gravity grabbed him and he began to plummet to the ground without hesitation.
Arthur looked at the Iron Monger stored in his Disassembler and, with a thoughtful expression on his face, began his own descent.
The process of collecting the Iron Monger went so smoothly that even Arthur was a bit surprised.
And once he had the Iron Monger, he hadn't expected the bald man to be so easily exposed.
Why did they separate?
As Arthur pondered this, Iron Man found himself in a rather awkward situation.
He had intended to take the enemy into the sky, but as he flew higher, he looked down and saw that his back was completely empty - the enemy had disappeared!
Weren't they supposed to soar together, be each other's guardian angels?
Frustrated, Tony immediately activated his scanners, only to find Arthur and the middle-aged man descending.
Without hesitation, Tony turned around and charged toward them.
With incredible speed, Tony quickly reached Arthur's side and instructed, "Grab onto my back!"
"Such a good nephew!" Arthur couldn't resist taking a verbal jab.
Tony ignored him and immediately moved to the bald man's side, telling Arthur, "Grab him.
"What if I don't want to?" Arthur hesitated.
"I'll lend you the money!"
"Deal!" Arthur, showing no resistance, immediately grabbed the middle-aged man. "With money, you can do whatever you want!"
The middle-aged man, clearly shaken, calmed down only after Arthur secured one of his arms.
He looked up at Arthur and did not recognize him. The darkness of Arthur's appearance gave the impression that he was someone who preferred to remain unseen.
With determination, the bald man began climbing up Arthur's arm, inching his way toward Iron Man. When he managed to grab Iron Man's suit with one hand, he kicked Arthur viciously. "Get off!"
His kick missed.
He tried again, "Get off!"
Another miss.
After three futile attempts, the middle-aged man was stunned. "You..."
Arthur grinned. "Had enough kicks? My turn! Come here!"
"What?" The man's voice was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and before he could process what was happening, he suddenly disappeared from Iron Man's back.
"What just happened?" Tony asked in shock. "What did you do to him?"
"Nothing much. I'll give him back to you when we're on the ground."
...
...
When they landed, Tony's Arc Reactor was almost completely drained of power.
Arthur approached him and casually let go of the stunned bald man.
The man still wore a puzzled expression, probably wondering why he was told to "come here" instead of "get off". As he was about to ask another question, his head spun in confusion, as if his thoughts had turned to mush. Feeling dizzy, he spun around twice before collapsing to the ground.
"That's an amazing ability! What exactly is this? Some kind of spatial device? An alternate dimension?" Tony looked at Arthur in astonishment, then at the suddenly reappearing bald man. "Wait, where's that ugly armor of his?"
"The weather is quite nice today!" Arthur said, looking up at the sky. "I think I should go home and get some sleep."
"So I can just buy anything from you with money, huh?" Tony's face darkened.
"How much?" Arthur asked Tony.
Tony's helmet had opened, revealing his frustrated face. "You're the one making the offer, so you should set the price!"
Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, then we need to have a good discussion about this.
After counting on his fingers for a while, Arthur realized that he wasn't good at this kind of thing. He wasn't one of those all-knowing social elites. Besides his mastery of killing techniques, his best skill was playing video games.
So, after much thought, all he could say was, "Probably... a lot, a lot of money."
Tony was almost driven to curse out loud!
This blackmail and extortion was so amateurish!
What does "a lot, a lot of money" even mean?
How much do you really want?
No specific number— are you testing my patience?
