Chapter 49: Monaco's Race
It had been a few days since Leo saw Tony again. These days, Leo didn't go to Tony's house since Tony seemed to be in a research frenzy, staying in the underground lab all day hoping to develop nanotechnology sooner.
But how could such cutting-edge technology be developed so easily? After a few days, Tony didn't make much progress.
It was the day of the Monaco Racing Competition.
A Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the door. Happy came out of the driver's seat and opened the back door. A man and a woman got out of the backseat. It was Tony and Pepper. They were invited.
Someone also got out of the passenger seat. It was Leo, who had come with them. It was Leo first time riding such a luxurious car. He couldn't help but sigh. A luxury car really felt different.
When they saw Tony, the crowd stirred. Fortunately, the staff here had been prepared and isolated the crowd. Only then did Tony and the others enter the banquet hall.
Natasha, who was dressed beautifully, was preparing to receive Tony. Looking at Natasha, who was reporting to Tony, Pepper was full of jealousy. She didn't expect Tony to hire Natasha as his personal assistant.
However, in public, she could only force a smile and face the people who kept taking photos.
Tony and Pepper were in the front, and Leo was at the back. He didn't want to be photographed constantly next to Tony.
Tony and Pepper kept smiling as they dealt with the celebrities and magnates who came up to suck up to them, including Justin Hammer, whom Li Yue had seen for the first time, and the reporter who had a one-night stand with Tony.
After various awkward responses, Tony finally got rid of everyone and went to a quiet room with Leo to discuss the next thing.
"Tony, are you ready? If you mess up later, you'll embarrass yourself in front of such a large audience."
"Don't worry, it's all ready, my technology has absolutely no problem. Just wait for that Ivan guy to appear, then I will teach him a lesson."
"Also, stay alert. Don't let me die in a car accident instead of being killed by the enemy."
"Don't worry, don't you know what my lowers can do? You can go and compete as much as you want. I guarantee that if you have an accident, youll atleast recive some scratches and bruises but you will not die."
"I'm relieved to hear that. I've always wanted to take part in a racing competition, but I've never had the chance. I can take advantage of this opportunity to take part."
Tony was full of smiles. As someone who liked sports cars, he had always wanted a race where his adrenaline levels would soar.
"What do you mean by 'having no chance'? You're just afraid of death!"
Leo ruthlessly exposed him, but Tony didn't show any embarrassment because of his words. Instead, he said proudly.
"My life is precious!"
…
The racing competition was about to start, but Pepper found that Tony had disappeared without a trace and didn't appear in front of her again.
She found Tony on a display on the wall behind her. He was wearing a blue racing uniform. He jumped into the track and talked to the staff.
The staff was shocked. Tony Stark, the top tycoon and superhero Iron Man, actually had to drive a car himself to compete.
The richer a person was, the more they cherished their life, right? That was what the staff thought, but since Tony had brought it up, he certainly wouldn't refuse, and was even very happy.
An unlucky racer was replaced by Tony. Depressed, he slammed his helmet to the ground and left. Tony went straight into the car and prepared for the race.
Everything was broadcast live on TV. Everybody knew that Tony Stark was going to drive the car himself. Some were in disbelief, some were excited, and some were worried about Tony.
The person who was most worried was Little Pepper, who was watching the broadcast at this time. She directly called Natasha, who was now Tony's personal assistant.
"Did you know Tony was going to participate in the game?"
Pepper asked Natasha angrily.
"I found out just now."
Natasha was also stunned. Didn't the information show that Tony had gotten rid of Palladium Poisoning and created a new arc reactor? How can he still do such a crazy thing now? Is he crazy?
Although Pepper was very worried about Tony, it was too late to stop him, because the race had already begun.
Tony had been like a crazy person from the beginning. He drove the car straight down the track, overtaking the car, drifting and turning, as if he wasn't afraid of accidents at all.
Looking at Tony like this, Leo had a headache. Cherish his life my foot! He had actually gone crazy. He could only hope that Tony hadn't forgotten his goal.
…
Looking at Tony's car on the live feed, which was constantly moving at a high risk, Pepper was worried. She was really afraid that Tony would have an accident in the next second.
Natasha was also shocked. Did Tony want to die? He dared to drive like this during a competition. Wasn't he afraid of accidents?
Watching Tony drive like this, Ivan Vanko, who was among the staff, couldn't help but wonder if he didn't need to go looking for trouble. If he drove like this, something would happen sooner or later.
But this is just a joke. Ivan certainly won't miss such a good opportunity. Tony isn't easy to meet without a suit, so he directly crossed the track guardrail.
When he came to the track, his top was melted by a high temperature burst, revealing a simple exoskeleton armor. An arc reactor in front of his chest glowed white. At the same time, he flung his hands to the sides and two long whips with flashing electric arcs appeared in his hands, waiting for Tony's car.
…
At that moment, Tony was already high in adrenaline. This was the first time he had enjoyed racing so much, and it felt even more exciting than racing with his armor.
But he heard Jarvis's voice.
"Sir, unknown individuals have appeared on the track up ahead. Please steer clear."
"He's finally here, Jarvis. Activate Mark 7 and prepare to 'suit' me up."
As he instructed Jarvis, Tony slowly slowed the car down.
At that moment, the host realized that an unknown person had entered the track. He couldn't help but shout anxiously, and his voice reached everyone watching the live broadcast.
At that moment, Pepper was shocked. It seemed that this person was here to cause trouble for Tony. At the same time, Happy appeared in front of her and showed her the red suitcase in his hand.
Pepper and Happy quickly arrived at the Rolls-Royce, ready to drive into the track and deliver the portable armor to Tony.
But before they could get into the car, the trunk of the Rolls-Royce suddenly opened to the sides, and a red device appeared. To the amazement of the people around it, it shot straight into the sky and flew away at an extremely fast speed in the direction of the race track.
