Chapter 37 Hydra, Spine Transformation

Charlotte shook her head and looked at Tony on the operating table.

"My red and blue baby, I heard that your pajamas are made of metal." Tony, whose hands and feet were tied, blinked.

Charlotte glanced at Tony and reached out to violently break the handcuffs that bound Tony.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Tony sat up from the operating table and carefully rubbed the blood on his wrist.

"It's nothing, I almost died." He pointed at the reactor on his chest, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Did Pepper ask you to save me?" he asked again.

Charlotte didn't answer. He turned around and looked at Harry who came in. "He looks fine. Let's leave here first."

"it is good."

After a brief introduction, Harry took Tony onto the flying skateboard.

"My buddy can't carry three people," he said to Charlotte.

"I will drive."

“The cars were blown up.”

"There's another one outside."

"Okay, I believe in your super powers." Harry said and flew out of the cave.

Charlotte glanced at the struggling Ethan, then spotted the silver suitcase on the table.

"this thing"

Seeing Ethan suddenly become nervous, Charlotte grinned, picked him up and the suitcase and ran out of the cave.

-

Soon, in the desert under the night sky, an off-road vehicle roared and sped away, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Can you tell me your terms? How much money does Chili Pepper promise to give you?"

Tony, in the co-pilot seat, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, then said, "One hundred million, or ten? Well, it doesn't matter to me."

He rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired.

"Call Pepper and she'll send someone to pick me up."

Harry grasped the steering wheel. "I've already informed her. It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Stark." He stretched out a hand and smiled.

"Cooperation?" Tony looked puzzled. He didn't have the habit of shaking hands.

"Yes, I promise to save you, on the condition that Stark is willing to fund the Osborn Group."

"Oh, I remember, you are Norman's son."

Tony laughed. "In my opinion, the Osborne Group will not last more than three months. This is a losing business."

"Will you agree?" Harry felt a little nervous.

"Of course I agree. After all, you saved me."

Tony said, looking at Charlotte behind him, "Hey, you saved me too, do you want me to give you a set of gold pajamas?"

Charlotte pouted, "You should know who I am."

"Well, you're Spider-Man, I didn't realize you were still alive."

Tony touched his nose awkwardly, "But since you came to save me, you should know that I have no ill will towards you."

He went on to explain: “Someone offered to buy weapons from me, her conditions were good and I did not refuse.

But I didn't expect them to bomb the villa area, and when SHIELD found me, I knew I was in trouble."

"So you came here under the pretext of selling arms?" Harry asked.

Tony nodded helplessly, "Yes, I want to go out and avoid the limelight before the matter is announced to the public."

"Actually, you don't have to run away. SHIELD doesn't have any evidence." Charlotte said.

Tony smiled, "Indeed, but it was my company's weapon that coincidentally killed the popular idol Spider-Man, which put me in an unimaginable whirlpool of public opinion.

I sensed that this was a conspiracy against me and Spider-Man, and I couldn't show up, and I couldn't guess what they were going to do next."

Ethan, who had been silent the whole time, said, “Now you can guess it.”

Tony looked back at Ethan and said sarcastically, “Yes, I guessed it. You caught me easily in this damn place and wanted to transform my body.

But I survived, and you must be regretting not killing me right away."

Ethan sneered and then kept silent. Charlotte was puzzled, "Body modification? Are they giving you metal arms?"

"No, it's to give me a new spine."

"spine?"

Charlotte seemed to be thinking about something, then opened the silver suitcase under Ethan's nervous gaze, and saw a black spine emitting a faint glow inside.

"That's it." Tony was still terrified.

Charlotte looked at Ethan, "Okay, I know you won't tell."

He reached out and touched the black spine, only to feel a chilly breath flowing into his palm through the nanometal. He quickly pulled his hand away and did not continue to study it.

"It looks a lot like a snake bone."

He closed the briefcase and continued to question Tony, "You haven't told me who bought the weapons from you?"

Tony took a deep breath, "It was a woman, a perfect woman, that night was really unforgettable"

"Her conditions are very good. Do you mean her, not the conditions she offered?" Harry's cheek twitched slightly, and he finally reacted.

Tony shrugged, "Yeah, you know I'm not interested in money, I like beautiful things."

Charlotte held her forehead with her hand, "You definitely don't know her true identity."

"Yes, I was attracted to her the first time I saw her, like a fire in winter"

"No need to describe your mental activities."

Charlotte interrupted Tony and continued, "I want to know who wants to kill me. Is there any way to get more clues?"

Tony shook his head. "There's nothing we can do for now, but I guess they're just killing you by the way. Their real target is me. Maybe they want my company to provide them with a large amount of weapons."

"It shouldn't be that simple."

Charlotte patted the suitcase and said, "This thing is the key."

At this point, Ethan's body stiffened slightly, which made Charlotte more certain.

As long as you carry this thing with you, the person behind the scenes will definitely show up again.

They wouldn't have thought that Tony would be rescued so quickly and with the loss of a strange spine.

"By the way, Norman's wound was caused by a claw weapon. You can compare it with this arm." He handed the metal arm he had taken away to Harry.

Harry couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel. "If these guys really did it, I will make them pay the price." He gritted his teeth and took the metal arm.

"Humph, you can't do it." Ethan sneered.

"So it was really you who did it." Harry slammed on the brakes and turned back to glare at Ethan.

Ethan's smile faded. "So what? Your father has no choice but to listen to us. What can you do?" He said with disdain.

Hearing this, Harry flew into a rage.

"I kill you!"

"Don't be impulsive. This guy's goal is to irritate you."

Charlotte stopped Harry and said to Ethan, "You want Harry to kill you because if they do it, you will die more miserably, right?"

Ethan’s face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, I admit it, but I don’t regret it.”

He glared at Tony's back, "Stark destroyed everything I had. He is an arms dealer with blood on his hands. Do you know how many people die from Stark's weapons every year?
Among them are my wife and daughter. They are so kind and innocent, but Stark killed them and destroyed my family by selling arms for wealth. I must take revenge on him at all costs!
And you, Spider-Man, you help a demon with blood on his hands, what kind of hero are you? You don't deserve it!"

Ethan suddenly became excited and struggled, and Charlotte added new spider silk.

"But I'm innocent too. You don't know how painful it is for a poor little spider to be hit by such a big missile."

Charlotte muttered, while Tony frowned.

"Stark weapons are only supplied to the military. As for what they are used for, it is not something I can decide at all."

Stark Industries was born during the war period of the last century, and the weapons it supplies are used on battlefields around the world.

In that dark age, Stark weapons were the key to achieving victory and protecting the people.

No one would think there is anything wrong with Stark Industries manufacturing weapons.

But as the times change, the people who use Stark weapons have changed one after another.

This is one of the reasons that led to the tragedy.

After this incident, Tony couldn't help but begin to examine himself and the entire Stark Industries.
