Chapter 251
However, Tony ignored Justin Hammer's provocation.
He suddenly felt dizzy,
as if the whole world was spinning.
He couldn't help but go to the bathroom,
and took out a small testing instrument from his pocket.
Looking at the words "Blood toxin concentration: 63%!" displayed on the instrument,
his heart was filled with heaviness and uneasiness.
He knew that his toxin concentration had increased again.
If the toxin concentration reached 80%,
it would have reached the lethal line.
His life would have come to an end.
And regarding this,
He couldn't help but think of a few days ago——
"Damn it! Palladium has been invading for too long,
My body is already in tatters!"
Tony Stark's face was solemn,
He stood in the Stark Industrial Building,
his shirt was lifted,
revealing the purple veins and flesh color on his chest.
He stared at himself in the mirror,
his eyes were full of helplessness and anxiety.
During the terrorist attack in the Middle East,
although he was saved by Dr. Ethan at that time,
due to the poor treatment environment,
several pieces of shrapnel remained on his chest.
In order to prevent the shrapnel from pressing on the heart,
Dr. Ethan cleverly made a small magnet to absorb the shrapnel.
Tony used his genius and wisdom to turn the magnet into an Ark Reactor, which could absorb the shrapnel and provide him with energy.
However, this Ark Reactor could not completely solve the problem.
Because the shrapnel was too close to the heart,
even the best surgeon in the world could not complete the operation.
The famous Dr. Stephen Strange was also helpless.
Therefore,
Tony had to wear the Ark Reactor on his chest at all times to ensure his own safety.
And the Ark Reactor relies on an element called palladium to provide energy,
which is the most ideal energy source for the Ark Reactor.
However,
It is also a radioactive element.
Under long-term use,
Tony's body will be exposed to the radiation of palladium,
eroding his life bit by bit.
Long-term use makes Tony's life like a candle in the wind,
The radiation of palladium is slowly killing him.
And if he does not wear the Ark Reactor,
the shrapnel in his chest will kill him immediately.
The Ark Reactor is both his life-saving straw,
and the sharp blade hanging on his neck,
This contradictory situation makes Tony feel extremely desperate.
"Six months!
If this problem cannot be solved within six months,
I will surely die!"
Tony took a deep breath,
He knew that he didn't have much time.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"It's Ms. Pepper!"
Jarvis's prompt sounded.
Tony immediately put his clothes in order.
"Come in! "
Tony's voice revealed a hint of unruliness,
Completed the transformation.
It seemed that he didn't want Pepper to find out his abnormality.
He loudly invited the people outside the door to come in.
Then,
Pepper Pepper strode in,
Her face showed dissatisfaction,
Her eyes were full of questions.
Pepper has always been dissatisfied with Tony's excessive behavior.
He handed over the business affairs to her,
The technology was managed by Dr. Ethan,
And he seemed to have returned to the playboy life before.
He was completely immersed in eating, drinking and having fun,
and didn't seem to care much about the current situation of Stark Industries.
"Although I don't want to ask,
But why do you want to participate in the racing competition? "
There was a hint of blame in Pepper's tone.
She felt that Tony was a little confusing now.
Wouldn't being Iron Man satisfy him?
Why did he have to be a racer?
Tony pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows at Pepper.
He explained:
"Pepper, you know,
My childhood dream was to be a racer!
Now I have the opportunity to realize this dream,
Why can't I try?"
However, Pepper was not moved by his explanation.
She glared at him and said firmly:
"But now is not the time to realize your dreams!
Since you announced the closure of Stark's weapons manufacturing department,
and experienced Obadiah's betrayal,
Stark Industries is now in chaos!
Stocks are falling,
Technology is broken,
People are panicking!
You need to stay here,
Stabilize the situation! "
Hearing Pepper's words, Tony nodded,
but his face remained calm. .....
He didn't seem to be frightened by the current predicament,
nor did he change his mind because of Pepper's reproach.
Looking at Tony's indifferent look,
Pepper suddenly felt angry.
She has been working hard for Stark Industries,
but Tony doesn't seem to appreciate it.
He always does his own thing,
never considering other people's feelings.
"You are always like this!"
Pepper's tone was filled with helplessness and anger:
"Do you know,
how much impact your current behavior has on the entire Stark Industries?
You can't always think only of yourself,
You also have to think about the future of the company!"
However, before she finished speaking,
she was interrupted by Tony.
"Pepper,
I want to tell you something!"
Tony's tone suddenly became serious,
He looked at Pepper seriously,
his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and trust.
"From now on,
you are the CEO of Stark Industries!"
Tony said word by word,
every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"What?"
Pepper's eyes widened in astonishment,
and she didn't react for a moment.
She looked at Tony's serious and determined eyes,
and then she realized that he was not joking. 5.8
"I said,
You are appointed by me as the CEO of Stark Industries!
Manage the entire Stark Industries Group!
Effective immediately!"
Tony repeated it again.
Tony knew that his current situation was not optimistic,
The problem of palladium was like a time bomb that could explode at any time.
He couldn't guarantee whether he could survive this,
but Stark Industries was the hard work of several generations of the Stark family,
he could not let it fall like this.
So he had to make this decision,
hand over the company to a trustworthy and capable person.
And Pepper was undoubtedly the best choice.
She has always been his right-hand man,
and knows as much about Stark Industries as he does.
More importantly,
he trusts her,
and loves her.
