Especially in the future, the encounter between Tony Stark and his father Howard stark made this all the more evident.
Howard was actually just like him, not very expressive, keeping everything hidden deep within his heart.
When Tony heard Howard say he would give up everything for his son, who wasn't even born yet, Tony was nearly brought to tears.
It could be considered one of Marvel's iconic moments.
What the hell?
Question marks crawled across Tony Stark's forehead.
Even with his intelligence at the pinnacle of the entire Marvel Universe, he was somewhat baffled.
A father-son reunion?
Was this some kind of symbolic expression, a literary device?
Was it a delicate way of saying he had dreamed of his father?
But it didn't seem like it.
It also didn't align with Zhou Cheng's usual writing style.
Zhou Cheng always used the most straightforward language to describe things in the simplest and most direct way.
That was all.
But what was this father-son reunion about?
He even pointed out that it was in the future!
The future be damned!
Howard had been dead for so many years.
How was he supposed to meet with a dead man?
Could it be...
Through some supernatural means?
At this thought, Tony Stark's mind was suddenly stirred; he felt he had guessed the truth.
The diary did say that the future was an era of superheroes.
An era that saw the rise of sorcerers, witches, aliens, and gods!
In other words, it was an era of extraordinary powers!
Under such powers, the appearance of something unbelievable and incomprehensible to Tony now wouldn't be strange.
Just like the diary in front of him!
Alright, enough said, time to wash the dishes!
The transmigrator here still has to wash dishes, sigh.
The diary flashed with these lines again and then really came to a rest.
No further content was updated.
It seemed Zhou Cheng really had gone to wash dishes.
"Washing dishes? Did he just finish eating?"
Tony Stark made this assumption naturally, then couldn't help chuckling and shaking his head.
What time was it?
That guy was even lazier than Tony himself!
After a slight chuckle, Tony Stark closed the notebook.
He began to sort through the key information of this "spoiler."
Undoubtedly, the most important was learning the true details of "Iron Man."
This armor was something Tony had built in a cave to escape captivity, which he later expanded and improved upon.
Not only did he develop it to at least the Mark 85, but he also used it to become one of the universe's top power players.
Furthermore, the armor's strengths and weaknesses, its power source, and "lethal flaws" were also mentioned.
It can be said that it pointed out a clear and definite direction for Tony Stark's future research.
There was no question about it.
And then there was the issue regarding Howard Stark.
Zhou Cheng also mentioned several times his own misunderstandings about Howard.
Tony Stark didn't want to dwell much on this issue.
Even more than Howard Stark, Tony was more keen on figuring out why Zhou Cheng held a different, clearly negative, stance towards Obadiah Stane, as opposed to a positive one. To Tony Stark, Obadiah Stane was like an uncle.
Knock Knock Knock!
Lost in thought, the knocking on the office door brought him back to reality.
Without waiting for a response, the door opened.
Tony didn't even need to look up to know who it was.
No one else but his trusty assistant, Pepper Potts, would have the guts to barge in like this.
Audacious in front of him.
Knock Knock Knock!
Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of high heels on the floor.
A woman in a business suit stormed up to Tony Stark.
Who else could it be but Pepper?
"I've never seen you with this hairstyle before? Looks good, I like it!"
Tony glanced at Pepper with none of the boss's demeanor, just straight-out flirting.
"Really? That means your taste isn't bad."
Pepper laughed.
Although her boss was usually capricious and extremely self-indulgent, making her job difficult, it wasn't all bad.
At least with Tony, there wasn't the strict hierarchy.
"My taste is, of course, impeccable."
Tony Stark arrogantly nodded, not knowing the meaning of modesty.
"Then you should've noticed that it's about time you got going."
Pepper reminded her boss.
"Setting off? Where to?"
Tony blinked, showing a moment of confusion.
"Las Vegas, the military is presenting you with the Apogee Award today, God, you didn't forget, did you?"
Pepper couldn't help but want to facepalm.
He actually forgot!
Such an important event, and Tony actually forgot.
The most whimsical and unreliable playboy indeed, to not take serious matters to heart.
Luckily, she knew Tony well enough to come and confirm things.
Otherwise, what a mess that would be!
"Apogee Award?"
It finally dawned on Tony, who immediately scoffed, "Such a boring thing is a complete waste of life!"
"The jet's already waiting for you, and I promised Rhodey you'd make it to Vegas."
"Did you? Actually, I was just planning to hit the casinos, sorry if there was a misunderstanding."
Tony stated matter-of-factly.
According to the original trajectory, Tony Stark would indeed have done so.
He stood Rhodey up at the award ceremony to enjoy himself at a casino.
But now...
Tony Stark had more interesting things on his mind.
The Iron Man suit!
Having learned the truth from the journal, Tony couldn't wait to dive into developing the suit.
He had no time to deal with this mess.
"Tony…"
"Cancel all my appointments!"
Pepper's words were cut off by Tony, "Every single one for the next month, all of it."
"Does 'all appointments' include this afternoon's award ceremony?"
Pepper suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
"Of course! Everything, I made myself very clear."
Pepper was truly speechless.
What craziness had her boss decided upon this time? What was he thinking?
He'd promised to go before!
Such antics made her job very difficult, indeed!
