Chapter 86： Coulson's visit

A miracle happened in front of Tony and Pepper.

A wound that had just been cut, slowly recovered under the gaze of the two, Ethan also deliberately handed his arm in front of the two, so that they could feel the effect of the magic circle more clearly and intuitively.

Compared with Pepper, he was a bit scared. Tony was more engrossed in his observations, for fear that he would miss a little detail. When Ethan’s arm recovered, he still held it for a long time to observe, making sure that there were no scars left. Then he put down Ethan's arm contentedly.

"Is the effect so good?" After really confirming Ethan's ability, Tony felt that his future is still so beautiful, and unconsciously restored to the past: "If this is the case, maybe I don't need to do it at all. After so much preparation, you can return to the group to deal with the troublesome work after the cure."

Pepper knows what Tony is talking about. Today, when he found himself, he wanted to temporarily take over the Stark Group, so as to free himself enough time for treatment and recovery.

"No, because this is a new injury, the wound still has enough activity, so the recovery is so fast. When I help you take out the shrapnel, some new wounds will be created, and those can be recovered immediately. As for the wound on your chest with the reactor installed , It will take a long time to fully recover."

Tony touched the reactor in his chest. The device that saved his life and is now slowly killing himself is embedded in his body. A big hole is dug in his chest. Of course, it won't be so easy to recover.

In fact, it is already a good thing to be able to cure the hidden dangers in the body. He does not even expect to be able to recover as if he has not been injured, as long as it does not affect his normal life.

"It's okay to leave a scar. A man with a scar will be more attractive."

Such words have no meaning except for Pepper's eyes.

Ethan, who proved himself and also truly got Tony’s trust, became Tony Stark’s ‘friend’ at this time. They were very wary of themselves before.

"Speaking of which, Ethan, you came to treat me specially, what do you want to get?"

Ethan spread his hands: "Actually, I just wanted to make some pocket money at first. You know, you can't live without this kind of thing in this world."

Close the magic circle. After coming out of the room, Tony poured a glass of whiskey for himself and Ethan: "So you just wanted to make some money in the first place?"

"That's right." As a result, Ethan took a sip of the whiskey. It tasted good, not as unpleasant as I thought: "Since you want to make money, just make a little bit more, so I don't always worry about this kind of thing."

"I like your idea." One step is in place to avoid a lot of trouble. In fact, Tony sometimes likes to do this. For example, when he was fighting the Hulk, the compensation afterwards was too troublesome. I bought the building ahead of time. The things can be smashed casually.

As for Ethan to make money with himself? He didn't feel that there was anything wrong, because Ethan had already proven his ability, and capable people would always be admired by others and qualified to do whatever he wanted.

"The previous conditions remain the same, my personal health consultant, the annual salary..." Tony thought for a while, but he was not sure what price would be appropriate: "Do you have any requirements?"

"Including the entire cost of this treatment, I want a 1% stake in Stark Group." Ethan's request can be said to be a big talk. A 1% stake in Stark Group is not a small amount. The number, even a few tenths of a share, is enough to turn a person into a super rich in an instant.

This is still a price tag for continuous value creation. As long as Ethan holds these shares, he can get a lot of dividends from the Stark Group every year.

Tony didn’t spend much time thinking, and he agreed directly: “No problem, one percent of the shares, but it’s not tradable, or you can only sell it to me or my heirs if you don’t want to continue holding it.”

Ethan also nodded, he didn't care about this: "I just want a long-term meal ticket to ensure that I don't have to worry about trivial things when I live in this world."

He didn't even ask that his shares should not be diluted, because he didn't care at all. Anyway, after this treatment, he doesn't have to worry about money anymore, that's enough.

When he entered the world of Marvel for the second time, he felt that he had become much closer to the world. Maybe he would come to this world often in the future, so he would find a way to solve the problem of money. If he left at any time and didn’t He won't waste this time in a world that will come again.

"This world? Are you not from this world?"

"You don't think there is only one universe, do you?"

When it comes to this kind of question, Tony seems particularly interested: "Multiple universes? Parallel universes? Or something else?"

Ethan did not say too much, and briefly introduced the concept of the multiverse.

"You actually came here from another world? And will you return to your own world?"

"Yes it is."

Pepper, who was listening to the side the whole time, was in a daze. She felt that the worldview that she had built over many years was collapsing, and the two people beside her continued to use heavy hammers to break the remaining fragments into pieces.

Ethan stated that his identity is not a person in this world, but it is for Antoni's heart. He has no other intention to want his shares, but simply for the convenience of living in this world.

Tony also understood what he meant, so the next two people chatted with each other without a lot of conflicts of interest, and they just talked about topics of mutual interest.

For example, can those magics be explained by more scientific theories? And to reproduce with technological means?

"Theoretically, magic is based on people or other creatures themselves, using powerful mental power to control a certain kind of energy to achieve a certain purpose of magicians. Magicians just discovered the way energy is used. Science may not be able to reproduce these abilities."

The simplest way is to light a ball of flame. The magicians use their mental power to control the energy to ignite, or use magical energy to build a ball of flame. The specific method may be different, but the final result is the same.

Scientists use their knowledge to create some ignition tools, and then light a fire, which also achieved their goal.

At present, the mages can do it with magic, but technology cannot.

Tony accepted this theory a lot, thinking that Ethan is a very good scholar, completely different from the old mage in his impression that he is traditional, old-fashioned, and even refuses to admit other knowledge.

"Have you never seen a wizard? Where did you get this impression?"

"Fictions and movies..."

"Gandalf is also a very enlightened mage."

"Gandalf is a Maya, strictly speaking a god's attendant or a secondary god."

Chat is like this, often strayed to the other direction, and time passed quickly among Hu Kan, until the doorbell rang Tony did not remember that the first batch of gems he ordered for Ethan would be delivered at noon.

But through the monitoring, I saw that a man with a little shabby hair and wearing a black suit was standing at the door. He and Pepper knew this man, and he had helped himself before.

"why did he come here?"

Ethan also saw the surveillance footage, and he also knew the middle-aged man who looked particularly kind, and it was Agent Phil Colson of S.H.I.E.L.D..

This person suddenly appeared here, and Ethan felt that he should have come for himself.

Just as Tony had told before, Ethan should not run around if nothing happened, because there are so many people staring at Tony, including S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Should I get rid of him?"

Almost at the same time, Phil Coleson on the surveillance screen shouted at the door: "Mr. Tony Stark, I know you are at home, rest assured, I just want to talk to you and that new friend. Talking about it."

"These guys are really hard to like."

Tony doesn't hate Phil Coleson, but he doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D., and he has a distrust of this organization—in fact, he lacks trust in any official agency. So he has always avoided contact with these people, even if the head of the Cyclops came to the door to persuade him to join their plan, he never nodded and agreed.

"I think let him in, otherwise he will continue to struggle endlessly."

It’s best to take advantage of Tony’s right here to make it clear. If S.H.I. The kind of degree.

Jarvis obeyed Tony's order and opened the door, letting Coleson in. They also quickly saw this middle-aged man who was a little flattered in the living room.

"Hello, meeting for the first time, I am Phil Coleson of the National Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."

"Oh, my God, haven't you changed your name yet?"

"We are already working on related processes."

"It's so troublesome to change a name, that's why I don't like you."

"It is a little troublesome, but many processes are still necessary."

After Tony interjected a few words, he found that Coleson was always smiling and looking at Ethan before him. He knew that he could only rely on Ethan himself. Of course, if the other party could not do too much in his house. The matter of self-trust is still there.

"Hello, my name is Ethan." Ethan saw Coleson still looking at him with a smile, so he had to continue to introduce: "Currently serving as Mr. Tony Stark's personal health consultant."

"I wonder what professional advice Mr. Ethan provided to Mr. Stark?"

The other party is testing himself, but it’s a pity that Ethan never likes this way of talking in circles. He prefers to go straight to the topic: "My job is to safely and effectively kill the shrapnel in Tony's body and the piece that is slowly killing. Take down his device."
