“The Tyrant Bear?”
Tony stared at the spot where Ethan had disappeared and muttered to himself.
Tony didn’t think there was anything wrong with the name.
He had personally witnessed how ruthlessly Ethan had destroyed that terrorist base.
Nothing had been left behind.
Everything had been completely annihilated.
In Tony’s eyes, Ethan was like a tyrant before his enemies.
He never bothered talking to them.
He didn’t even care what they had to say.
He simply destroyed them.
Wasn’t that exactly what a tyrant did?
When Ethan returned home, he saw Hannah already fast asleep.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
After washing up, he climbed into bed, wrapped his arms around Hannah, and closed his eyes.
He was already thinking about how he could finally change his superhero name tomorrow.
Excited, he kissed Hannah on the cheek.
He almost woke her up.
Haha, with Tony’s personality, he’ll definitely admit tomorrow that he’s Iron Man.
After I reminded him, he’ll definitely tell the reporters that I don’t like the name they gave me.
Then he’ll announce my new name.
Tony, don’t disappoint me, Bear Cub…
Wait.
Why did I just call myself Bear Cub?
The next day, at the press conference.
Tony stood in front of the reporters with an unnatural expression and spoke to an extremely beautiful female reporter.
“I know this sounds rather unbelievable.”
“Of course, you can question the official statement.”
“But don’t start making wild accusations or implying that I’m some kind of superhero.”
By this point, Tony was already looking somewhat distracted.
The female reporter immediately noticed the opening.
“I never said you were a superhero.”
She knew that the more she pushed him like this, the more interesting things would become.
After all, she had even slept with Tony before.
“Didn’t you?”
Tony continued.
“I know this sounds completely absurd.”
“I’m not exactly hero material.”
“I have plenty of personality flaws, and I’ve done a lot of stupid things…”
Tony was clearly going further and further off script.
Rhodey hurried over and whispered into his ear.
“Please, Tony.
Just read the damn script.”
But Rhodey already knew it probably wouldn’t help.
The beautiful reporter sitting below also wore an amused smile.
“The actual situation is…”
Tony looked down at the script.
He suddenly stopped.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head.
His expression became firm.
“I am Iron Man.”
The moment Tony finished speaking, the entire press conference exploded.
The reporters immediately rushed forward, desperately trying to ask questions.
A group of security guards quickly blocked them.
The female reporter, however, remained calmly seated.
She had already gotten what she wanted.
Tony straightened his clothes and shouted at the reporters.
“Everyone, listen to me!”
The reporters immediately quieted down.
They all waited to hear what Tony had to say next.
“The truth is, I’ve actually been a superhero for quite some time.”
“And I have an ally who is also a superhero.”
Tony paused.
The reporters nearly went crazy.
They immediately began shouting questions and pushing forward again.
Tony raised both hands and motioned for them to calm down.
The room gradually became quiet once more.
Only then did Tony continue.
“My ally is the mysterious superhero who defeated those two monsters on Broadway.”
“The one you call Bear-Bear Hero.”
“I call him Bear Cub.”
Tony couldn’t resist teasing Ethan.
Before the reporters could react, Tony immediately continued.
“However, Bear Cub is very unhappy with the name you gave him.”
“He asked me to tell everyone that his official title is…”
Tony paused deliberately.
He made sure to keep everyone waiting.
“His title is…”
“The Tyrant Bear.”
“What?
The Tyrant Bear?”
“That boy can’t be very old, can he?”
“Exactly!”
“Even though he wears a mask, I’m certain the Tyrant Bear is under twenty.”
“He’s still just a kid!”
“But why is he called the Tyrant Bear?”
“He’s mysterious, sure, but where does the ‘Tyrant’ part come from?”
Tony listened to the reporters’ discussion and immediately started making things up.
“Oh, Bear Cub’s title was officially given to him by the Superhero Association.”
“It’s completely legitimate.”
“As for myself…”
Tony paused dramatically.
“I happen to be the fifth chairman of the Superhero Association.”
“That’s all I’m telling you.”
Without giving the reporters another chance to question him, Tony quickly left through the back.
Back in front of the television, Ethan was extremely satisfied with how the press conference had gone.
Just as he was feeling proud of himself, Hannah’s confused voice came from beside him.
“Little Bear, is your real superhero name really the Tyrant Bear?”
“And what’s the Superhero Association?”
“Are there really lots of superheroes?”
“Uh…”
“Hannah, don’t listen to Tony.”
“The Tyrant Bear is a name I came up with myself.”
“I just asked Tony to announce it for me.”
“Pretty cool, right?”
Ethan proudly kissed Hannah before continuing.
“As for the Superhero Association…”
“Tony completely made that up.”
“How could there possibly be an organization like that?”
“They’ll probably clarify it immediately.”
Sure enough, on the television, Rhodey hurried to the microphone after Tony left.
“Everyone, please listen.”
“Tony Stark really is Iron Man.”
“And the Tyrant Bear really is Tony’s good friend.”
“But there is absolutely no such thing as a Superhero Association.”
“Tony completely made that up.”
Pepper also quickly stepped forward.
“That’s right.”
“The Superhero Association was something Tony invented.”
“Everyone knows Tony has a habit of saying whatever comes to mind.”
