Chapter 182 Tony: Jake will definitely understand me
Ethan sighed and spoke slowly: "Mr. Stark, because this incident in Afghanistan has made you realize the cruelty of war and the horror of power."
"You have seen a side that you have never seen before. You have seen the dark side of the Stark Industrial Weapons Department. The weapons produced by the Stark Industrial Weapons Department have become the tools used by those crazy executioners to kill."
"It was supposed to be a weapon to protect peace, but it became the source of war. This makes you confused. You start to look at everything you have done in the past and start to reflect. This is a good change. This is the once proud Tony Stark.
Something I would never do.”
"But this is also not a good change. Now you have many different characteristics than before. You have become cautious, and you have begun to have a distrustful attitude towards all powerful forces."
"What happened in Afghanistan has made you understand that weapons used to defend peace must not fall into the hands of bad people and must not become tools in their hands."
Ethan paused and continued: "Actually, if that's all, then everything would be fine. The most uncomfortable thing for you this time is that you were betrayed, and the person who betrayed you was someone who was very good to you."
"Mr. Stark, when a person encounters betrayal, he will always hide everything in his heart. He will no longer share it with others. It is difficult for him to trust someone wholeheartedly. He begins to become
Be careful of being suspicious."
"I think this is why you are so melancholy. You probably feel that there is no one in this world who deserves your full trust."
After listening to what Ethan said.
Tony Stark was startled for a moment, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Yes, Ethan, that's it. As you said, I really can't trust anyone now."
"Obadiah Stan is a good friend of my father and an uncle I have always admired. I have always had a very good impression of him. Obadiah Stan has been very good to me since I was a child, but I did not expect that this time I would be assassinated.
The person behind the scenes turned out to be him."
"This is really unacceptable to me. I never imagined that he would be such a person. This means that all the kindness he has shown me over the years are fake and disguised."
"This is really terrible."
Tony Stark took a deep breath, looked at Ethan and asked: "Ethan, who else do you think I can trust? How many people like Obadiah are there around me, even Jake?
What about such people?"
"Is everything he showed to me a fake thing like Obadiah did?"
Hear Tony Stark's question.
Ethan frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Stark, it turns out that this is the reason why you are really confused."
"It can be seen that you care about Mr. Jake very much. It is precisely because you care that you suddenly have so many thoughts. If he was a person who had nothing to do with you, you would never care about him like this, nor would you care about him like this.
If you don't care about him, you won't think more about him."
When Tony Stark heard this, he reached out and grabbed his hair with both hands, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He slowly opened his mouth and told his story: "Ethan, you are right, exactly.
It's because I care about Jake that I become more and more weird."
"Ethan, I have known Jake for ten years. I am very happy to have him in these ten years. He understands me very well. He is my confidant. He is like a roundworm in my stomach. He can be the first to
It takes time to discover my emotions, and he can discover the problems I encounter at the first time."
"I'm very happy, but also very unhappy."
"Because I don't know what he is thinking about every day. I can feel that there are many things in his mind, but I can't guess those things at all."
"He has a kind of magic power, a kind of magic power that can see everything clearly. He can see my heart clearly, but I can't see his heart, not even a little bit!"
"Sometimes, I feel like there is a wall between me and Jake, an invisible wall. This wall separates us. He is on this side of the wall and I am on the other side of the wall."
Tony Stark paused and continued: "Ethan, do you know? Sometimes, I feel a kind of arrogance in Jake. It is a very high arrogance. He is looking down on the world.
, a person who looks down at the world.”
"That kind of arrogance at a glance often makes me think that it is an illusion, because Jake always gives people a serious, realistic, humble and elegant look. Such a person will not have that kind of arrogance."
"But after experiencing what happened in Afghanistan, I realized that that kind of arrogance is not an illusion, and that attitude of looking down on the world is not an illusion. That is the real him, that is what he really looks like."
"Ethan, you and I have both seen that powerful force. It is really an extremely terrifying force. That kind of power makes people feel scared, intimidated, cardiac arrest, and creepy.
."
"With such power, coupled with that arrogance of a sudden glance, and that attitude of looking down on everything, I can't imagine how big a disaster it will cause. It will definitely be more terrifying than the weapons produced by Stark Industries. These two
It is not an existence of the same magnitude at all.”
Tony Stark took a deep breath and said, "Ethan, maybe it's because of the incident in Afghanistan that I have become too sensitive."
"When I see that the masterpiece I created for peace has become a murderous tool in the hands of terrorists, it really hits me hard. I am very afraid that my masterpiece will be stained with the blood of more innocent people."
"I have decided to completely close the weapons production department of Stark Industries. Stark Industries will never produce another weapon in the future."
After listening to Tony Stark's words.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ethan was stunned, and it took him a while to recover. He sighed, looked at Tony Stark and smiled: "Mr. Stark, I
I understand, you are worried that the powerful power in Jake's body will be out of control, causing an extremely terrible and indescribable disaster, just like what happened in Afghanistan will be expanded countless times."
Tony Stark nodded and said: "Yes, Ethan, that's what I'm worried about. If what I said really happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After hearing this, Ethan smiled and said: "Mr. Stark, people will undergo new changes at a certain stage and period, and you are in this stage now, and new changes are also taking place in you.
"
"Mr. Stark, after experiencing this new change, you will become stronger and your whole person will take on a new look."
"Of course, new changes often mean that new problems will arise, and you need to solve these new problems. Sometimes these problems are inherently wrong or meaningless, but you still need to conduct trial and error."
"Mr. Stark, trial and error can verify your ideas and make your beliefs stronger. Only after trial and error and after your ideas are verified, will you achieve true transformation."
"A new stage? New changes? New problems? Trial and error, and then get a new transformation..." Hearing Ethan's answer, Tony Stark frowned, and kept repeating what Ethan said in his mouth
Those few keywords, while his brain was also thinking.
Seeing this, Ethan showed a smile on his lips and continued: "Mr. Stark, it is not wrong to have thoughts of distrust and doubt. This is a normal phenomenon."
"Don't be surprised that you have such thoughts, because human nature is like this, human nature is selfish. In this world, the vast majority of people are self-centered, and only yourself is the most important
The one."
"This is a means of self-protection that humans have used since the birth of humans. When an invincible existence suddenly appears in our world, no one will care whether this existence has good intentions towards humans."
"Human beings will only doubt this existence with ulterior motives and try every means to defeat this existence. After all, no one wants their life and death to be in the hands of others, and you are having such thoughts now."
Tony Stark frowned and said thoughtfully: "Ethan, do you think this is correct?"
Ethan smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Stark, this idea is both correct and incorrect."
"From a human perspective, it is correct to protect one's own safety. But from an existential perspective, it is not correct to make random guesses without any clue."
"Mr. Stark, no matter what the future holds, whether this will happen or not, it is undeniable that after you come up with this idea, you and Mr. Jake will never go back to the way they were before."
"At least it won't be as close as before. You will be as close on the surface as before, but deep down in your heart, there is a gap between you. There is an inevitable gap, and you have created this gap yourself."
When Tony Stark heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. He came back to his senses after a while, with a wry smile on his lips and said: "Yes, this is really a ridiculous thing, a contradictory thing. I will become stronger because of my friends.
And began to fear him."
"But I can't just watch and do nothing. If one day his power really gets out of control and I have no way to stop him, it will be a very scary thing."
Tony Stark took a deep breath, looked at Ethan and said: "However, there is one thing I have to refute you Ethan, that is, there will never be any estrangement between me and Jake, and there will never be any estrangement.
"
"I am very sure that there will never be any barriers between us, because we have always had one thing in common. We all hope that with our joint efforts, we can bring a little wind of change to the world and make the world a better place.
good."
"This is what the two of us have said the most together. We have the same dream."
"So, Jake will definitely understand me, and he will never be alienated from me just because I created a weapon that can defeat him."
"I firmly believe in this!"
Ethan looked at Tony Stark who suddenly became energetic in front of him, couldn't help but shook his head, and did not continue to speak.
The seeds of estrangement have been planted, is it still far from sprouting and growing?
Isn't Tony Stark's behavior also a kind of betrayal?
People can endure deception, suspicion, and lies, but they can never endure betrayal.
But Ethan couldn't refute Tony Stark, because what Tony Stark did was not wrong, and if there were any, it was just a small mistake, not a big mistake.
After all, Tony Stark stands for all mankind this time. He looks at the problem from the perspective of protecting all mankind and safeguarding peace, so he wants to develop weapons that can stop Zhou Ran.
This idea is very superheroic, and this angle is also very superheroic.
Zhou Ran would never have imagined that Tony Stark, who had not yet built the Mark 2, was already thinking about how to develop an anti-Superman steel suit to deal with him.
"By the way, Ethan, what are you going to do in the future?" Tony Stark, who was full of energy, smiled and asked: "A pool party can't repay you for saving my life. Do you want to come to Stark?"
Work at Stark Industries? If you don't want to come to Stark Industries, I can find you a hospital in New York, Cornell Presbyterian Hospital or St. Francis Hospital in New York?"
"By the way, I remember you told me that your family is still alive. You can bring your family over. Life in New York is better than in a small town."
When Ethan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, with a bitter smile on his lips, and said: "Sorry, Mr. Stark, I deceived you when I was in Afghanistan. I no longer have any family."
"They are all dead, killed by terrorists..."
After hearing this, Tony Stark was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sorry, Ethan, I should have thought of this earlier."
Yes, Tony Stark should have thought of this earlier. For a person who has just escaped from terrorists, the place he wants to return to most is definitely his home, and the people he wants to see the most are definitely his family.
Since Ethan was rescued, he has never mentioned his family or going home.
Tony Stark should have discovered this detail earlier. Ethan had lost his home and family long ago.
How sad must Ethan's heart be when telling his family's story in Afghanistan?
Tony Stark clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Damn war! Damn terrorists!"
Upon hearing this, Ethan also clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "Damn war! Damn terrorists!"
Tony Stark reached out and patted Ethan on the shoulder, opened his mouth and wanted to say something comforting, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't say comforting words at all.
He has always only been sarcastic and sarcastic, but he really can't comfort people!
Seeing this, Ethan smiled at Tony Stark and whispered: "It's all over..."
