Of course, no matter how much Tony would grow in the future, when faced with the terrorists who had suddenly barged in, he still instinctively put his hands over his head, his eyes filled with panic.
Seeing Tony’s reaction, the Boss couldn’t help showing a hint of pride on his face.
The corners of his mouth lifted as he spoke directly, “Relax, Tony.”
Hearing the Boss’s words, Tony froze, and his hands slowly lowered from his head.
Seeing Tony’s reaction, the Boss’s expression of pride became even more pronounced.
This was Tony Stark, a man who held a place among the upper echelons of the entire United States.
Yet now, someone like him had to obey the Boss’s every command, and even his life and death were no longer in his own hands.
How could the Boss not feel proud of himself?
Walking over to Tony, the Boss reached out and touched the Arc Reactor on Tony’s chest while speaking softly.
“The bow and arrow were once the pinnacle of weapons technology.
Genghis Khan used bows and arrows to conquer territory stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Ukraine.
His territory was twice the size of Alexander’s empire and four times the size of the Roman Empire.
“But today, whoever possesses Stark’s latest weapons can rule the world.”
As he spoke, the Boss walked over to Tony’s workbench and picked up a stack of blueprints.
Seeing what the Boss was doing, Tony’s forehead immediately broke out in sweat.
There were many sheets in that stack.
Looking at just one of them, there would be nothing unusual, but if all the blueprints were layered together, the design of the Iron Man armor would become apparent!
If the Boss discovered this, he and Yinsen would probably die right here!!!
Fortunately, Tony was lucky.
Although the Boss had picked up the stack of blueprints, his attention wasn’t actually focused on them.
He only glanced at them before putting the blueprints back down.
“Before long, it will be my turn to rule!” At this point, the Boss suddenly changed his tone, his sharp gaze turning directly toward Tony as he said quietly, “But…
why aren’t you working harder?!”
“We’re working as hard as we can!”
Before Tony could say anything, Yinsen couldn’t help speaking up.
Hearing Yinsen’s words, the Boss slowly turned his head toward him.
“I let you live, and this is how you repay me?!”
“The weapons are complicated…
He’s already working as hard as he can!”
Yinsen stared directly into the Boss’s eyes, his heart trembling.
Even his tone had weakened considerably.
He was just a scientist.
He wasn’t a top tycoon like Tony, nor did he possess any great strength.
Facing a brutal terrorist who could take his life at any moment, Yinsen had already done very well to stand up like this!
However, perhaps Yinsen’s unusual behavior aroused the Boss’s suspicion.
After his gaze swept across Yinsen’s face, the Boss spoke coldly.
“Kneel!”
Hearing the Boss’s order, Yinsen froze but didn’t move.
At this moment, Jones, who had been standing in the back, couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
Scenes like this had happened many times before.
Usually, this was the point when he had to step in.
“Time to earn some more hatred!”
Curling his lips, Jones quickly walked behind Yinsen, grabbed him by the shoulder, and forced him down onto his knees.
Meanwhile, the Boss walked over to the furnace where Tony was smelting steel and used a pair of tongs to pull out a glowing piece of coal.
“You really think I’m an idiot?
Are you going to tell me the truth or not?!”
“You and I…
we’re both working hard!”
Seeing what the Boss was doing, Yinsen seemed to realize what he intended to do.
He instinctively swallowed and said softly, “We’re both…
working hard!”
But the Boss obviously didn’t believe Yinsen.
Holding the piece of coal with the tongs, he walked over to Yinsen.
Then he turned his gaze toward Jones and said quietly, “Make him open his mouth!”
…
“Fuck you!”
Even though Jones knew this was going to happen, he still wanted to slap the Boss across the face.
If he wanted to make Jones earn more hatred, fine, but did he really have to drag Jones into this as well?!
Jones cursed the Boss a thousand times over in his mind, but he still reached out, pressed Yinsen’s head down against the workbench in front of him, and forcibly pried open his mouth!
“Forget it, forget it!
I’ve already pissed Tony off this badly anyway.
If there’s no way to ease the hatred between us in the future, I’ll just find a chance to kill him!”
With that thought flashing through his mind and a mentality of simply throwing caution to the wind, Jones’s movements became much more efficient.
The Boss nodded in satisfaction and brought the glowing piece of coal in front of Yinsen.
“What exactly are you doing?
Tell me!
What does he want to do?!”
Although the coal didn’t touch Yinsen, the red-hot chunk was enough to fill him with anxiety.
Drawing in a sharp breath, Yinsen repeatedly shouted, “He’s building Jericho missiles!
He’s building Jericho missiles!”
“Heh heh heh.
What do you want?
Should I give you a delivery date?!”
Seeing what the Boss was doing, Tony could no longer stand by.
During this time, he had developed a good relationship with Yinsen.
There was no way he could simply watch Yinsen suffer without doing anything!
