Chapter 17: Better to Dance! Really, Better to Dance!_1

Tony would never know.

Why he disliked some old antique called Captain America so much?

Maybe it was because of.

Jealousy from his childhood.

To be precise, it was envy.

All the inventions and creations he made from a young age, unimaginable to most people, were actually just to obtain a single praise from his father.

Unfortunately.

That never happened!

All Tony ever heard was not about how smart he was, or how incredible his son was, but always how brave Captain America was, how courageous, and that his father had to go look for him.

That feeling.

Was like talking in front of your girlfriend about how tender, considerate, and understanding your ex was, which could upset even the most easygoing girlfriend.

If you're lucky enough to have a girlfriend with a good temper, that's something.

But if you're with someone from Sichuan, it might escalate into an all-out fight!

Logic had no interest in getting involved in these complicated jealousy-ridden plots. He lightly touched the Space Gem, "This Space Gem was salvaged by S.H.I.E.L.D not long ago, and you know the level of their so-called experts and technicians."

Speaking of this.

Tony couldn't help but curl his lips into a smirk.

Though he played around, made a fuss, messed around without studying, his technology was powerful! It was advanced!

Alas, I tried so hard to restrain myself, yet I still landed in first place, the loneliness of being invincible.

"Even though they can't figure out much from it, the Space Gem has an emergency function. If it receives no energy stimulation, it can send out signals into the universe at any time, revealing Earth's coordinates…"

Although there were no Dark Forest Laws in the Marvel Universe.

But revealing Earth's coordinates to the universe was such a silly move.

Add Logic's previous bluff about destroying Earth's civilization to the mix.

Tony's expression became instantly serious, the carefree playboy facade gone. When it came to important matters, he was quite reliable.

"The Space Gem also has the ability to open up wormholes at any time, allowing anyone, anything, any starfleet to make long-distance jumps."

With a flick from Logic, the projection of the Space Gem in front of them vibrated, ripples emanated around it, and in a flash, a glow projected out, unfolding a door.

And behind the door.

Lay a massive, indescribably dense array of space ships and war vessels.

Why use the word massive?

Because surrounding these ships were asteroids as vast as mountains, and even planets were merely backdrops.

Simply too huge!

Especially when Tony saw the enormous dark gun barrels, a chilling coldness instantly surged from the top of his head to his feet, as if someone was pointing a gun barrel at his head.

Such massive gun barrels.

Mother Earth would definitely know the score!

If it had legs, it would already be running away, even leaving behind a galactic curse word, "Holy shit!"

Seeing Tony's mood turn tense, Logic nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up internally.

This was the kind of bluff.

Tony was just too lazy; despite having such a brilliant mind, he hardly put in the effort. He definitely should study the Infinity Gems.

Perhaps when Thanos arrives.

He would see a flashy guy decked out in Infinity Gems dancing in front of him, "Hey! I'm Tony! Seriously, this ain't no bullshit! Thanos, you're just trash!"

As for me...

Of course, it's lying down and gaming!

That's the division of responsibility, Tony is in charge of the mindless killing, and I'm handling the score.

Logic withdrew the projection of the Infinity Gem in front of him, swiped his hand, and another silhouette appeared, leaving Tony frozen in place.

Because it wasn't anyone else.

It was a person he really, really hated.

Someone he was determined not to become.

His father, Howard!

"Your father was a genius, it was he who researched the Space Gem and even discovered a new element that's highly suitable for the Ark Reactor, perfectly solving your palladium poisoning. You have to admire your father for that."

"Pfft!" Tony immediately retorted, "What's there to admire about that old coot? He just found a new element. Give me time, and I can find even more! I'm absolutely no worse than him!"

The tsundere Nene comes online.

At this moment, Logic really wanted to take a picture of the stubborn Tony, record the current video, and let the future him see how defiant he was being right now. He guessed his face would be slapped resoundingly, and his toes would be so embarrassed they could dig out an Earth.

"You're still young!"

"You don't understand!"

Logic flicked his finger, and Howard's image instantly shattered, to be replaced by another person—a bald-headed black man in a black leather trench coat with a black eyepatch over his left eye, his face stern and severe.

A man whose reputation resounds through the Multiverse, the motherfu... the incredible badass.

Nick Fury.

"Note down this man's image, he is the successor to the spy organization created by your father, all your father's work data is there. Oh, right, your father also left a videotape specifically for you, with some words meant for you. I think you need it."

"Who wants to see what that old man left!"

Tony continued to be mouthy but his actions betrayed him as he clapped his hands, "Jarvis, record that. This damn guy, doesn't he know that private property is sacred and inviolable? Holding on to what should have been mine for so many years. Remember to submit a lawsuit, I'm going to sue his ass off to jail!"

"Be careful researching the Space Gem, and don't trust too many people in that organization; some of them are problematic, the trustworthy ones..."

Logic cracked his knuckles and seriously counted, "One, two, three, four, hmm..."

This action made Tony speechless.

He instantly got the message—Logic meant there were traitors within the organization.

But Logic was counting on his fingers.

Which meant...

A massive spy organization, all freaking traitors???

Surrender, Nick Fury! You've already infiltrated our headquarters!

"Of course, there won't be so few, but also not too many. You'll need to figure it out for yourself. I believe you'll be interested in investigating the other side."

Logic thought that Hydra currently had quite a few nice things, whether it was the inferior version of the Super Soldier Serum or Dr. Zola, who had become an artificial intelligence; these were all notable technologies.

Of course.

These matters.

Tony would need to handle!

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll leave this to you. I'll contact you after a while."

Logic swiped his left hand, and the void portal to return to Three-Body appeared before him. He didn't dare stay away for long, with a heap of matters to deal with.

He had one foot stepping through, then pulled it back, "Oh, right, if you see some naked guy stripping and dancing on the street, remember to call me. A lively scene like that absolutely requires on-site melon munching to get the full atmosphere!"

Tony: ...

Street dancing naked guy?

How could that possibly happen!

If there's anything like that, I swear I'll dance on a pole for you myself!

I, Tony, always keep my word!
