Chapter 86 Colson'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 specially handed his arm in front of the two, so that they could feel the effect of this magic circle more clearly and intuitively.
Compared to Pepper, he was a little scared. Tony was observing more attentively, afraid that he would miss out on any details. When Ethan's arm recovered, he grabbed and observed for a long time, and confirmed that there was no scar left. Then he put down Ethan's arm with satisfaction.
"Is the effect so good?" After truly confirming Ethan's ability, Tony felt that his future was still so beautiful, and unconsciously returned to his past appearance: "If this is the case, maybe I don't need to make so much preparations at all. After the treatment is done, I can go back to the group to deal with those troublesome tasks."
Pepper knew what Tony was talking about. Today he found himself just to let him take over the Stark Group temporarily so that he could spare himself enough time for treatment and recovery.
"No, because this is a new wound, the wound has enough activity, so it recovers so quickly. When I take out the shrapnel, I will create some new wounds, and those can be recovered immediately. As for the wounds that install reactors on your chest, it will take quite a long time to fully recover."
Tony touched the reactor in his chest. The device that saved his life and is slowly killing him is embedded in his body. A big hole was dug in his chest, so of course it would not be so easy to recover.
In fact, it is already a blessing to be able to cure hidden dangers in the body. He doesn't even expect to recover from the same kind of injury as he has never been injured. As long as it does not affect his normal life, it is enough.
"It's nothing to leave some scars, it's more attractive for men to have some scars."
Such words have no meaning except for turning Pepper's eyes.
Ethan, who proved himself and also truly gained Tony's trust, became Tony Stark's "friend" at this time. They were all very careful about themselves before.
"Speaking of this, Ethan, you came to treat me specifically. What do you want to get?"
Ethan spread his hands: "Actually, I just wanted to make some pocket money at the beginning. You know, living in this world cannot be separated from this kind of thing."
After closing the magic circle and coming out of the room, Tony poured a glass of whiskey for himself and Ethan: "So you just wanted to make some money at the beginning?"
"That's right." As a result, Ethan took a sip of the whiskey, and it tasted fine, not as bad as he thought: "Since you want to make money, just make more money and save you often worry about such things."
"I like your idea." One step is to save a lot of trouble. In fact, Tony also likes to do this sometimes. For example, when he was fighting the Hulk, it was too troublesome to compensate afterwards. If you buy the building in advance, you can smash your own things at will.
As for Ethan making money with himself, he didn't think anything was wrong, because Ethan has proved his ability. People with ability will always be highly regarded and qualified to do whatever they want.
"The conditions before remain unchanged, my private health consultant, annual salary..." Tony thought for a while, but was not sure what price he offered: "Do you have any requirements?"
"Including the entire cost of this treatment, I want one percent of the shares of Stark Group." Ethan's request could be said to be a big talk. One percent of the shares of Stark Group is not a small amount, even the shares of Zero o'clock are enough to make a person become a super rich instantly.
This is still a price tag that continues to create value. As long as Ethan holds these shares, he can get a considerable dividend from Stark Group every year.
Tony didn't take much time to think, so he agreed directly: "No problem, one percent of the shares, but they are not traded, or you don't want to continue holding them and can only sell them to me or my heirs."
Ethan nodded, not caring about this: "I just want a long-term meal ticket to ensure that I don't have to worry about those little things when I live in this world."
He didn't even ask his shares not to be diluted because he didn't care at all. Anyway, he no longer had to worry about money after this treatment, which was enough.
When he entered the Marvel World for the second time, he felt that his connection with the world became much closer. 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 would not come back, he would not waste this time.
"This world? Are you not from this world?"
"You don't think there is only one universe, do you?"
When talking about this issue, Tony seemed particularly interested: "Multiverse? Parallel Universe? Or something else?"
Ethan didn't say it too carefully, and briefly introduced the concept of the multiverse.
"Are you actually coming here from another world? And will you return to your own world?"
"Yes."
Pepper, who was listening to the whole time, was in a state of confusion. She felt that the worldview that had been established for many years was collapsing, and the two people around her were constantly knocking the remaining fragments with heavy hammers.
Ethan showed that his identity was not a person in this world, but actually for Antony's heart. He had no other intentions to ask for his shares, just to make it easier to live in this world.
Of course, Tony understood what he meant, so the next chat between the two people would have less interest disputes, and they simply talked about topics that were interested in each other.
For example, can those magic be explained with more scientific theories? And reproduced with technological means?
"Theoretically, magic is a means of controlling a certain energy through powerful mental power to achieve a certain purpose of magicians. Magicians have just discovered how energy is used, and science may not be able to reproduce these abilities."
The simplest way to light a ball of flame, the magicians use their mental power to control energy to ignite fire, or use magic energy to build a ball of flame. The specific method may be different, but the final result is the same.
Scientists use their own knowledge to create some ignition tools and then light a ball of fire, which also achieves their goal.
At present, mages can do it with magic but technology cannot do it. It can only be said that mages have gone further in the use of energy.
Tony accepted this theory much faster, thinking that Ethan was a very excellent scholar, completely different from the old master who was in his impression of traditional and conservative, obscene and even refused to admit other knowledge.
"Have you never met a mage? Where did you get this impression?"
“Fiction and movie…”
"Gandalff is also a very enlightened wizard."
"Gandalf is a Maiya, strictly speaking, a servant or a secondary god of the gods."
This is how chatting is. It often goes to another direction, and time passes quickly in the midst of nonsense. It is not until the doorbell rings that Tony remembers that the batch of gems he ordered for Ethan will be delivered to the first batch at noon.
However, through the surveillance, I saw a man with a little bald hair and a black suit standing at the door. He and Pepper both knew this man and had helped him before.
"Why is he here?"
Ethan also saw the surveillance footage. He also knew the middle-aged man who looked particularly friendly. It was Agent Phil Colson of SHIELD.
This person suddenly appeared here, and Ethan felt that he should have come for him.
Just as Tony had told him before, if there was nothing wrong, Ethan should not run around, because there were many people staring at Tony, including S.H.E.L.D.
"Why do I kill him?"
Almost at the same time, Phil Colson on the surveillance screen shouted at the door: "Mr. Tony Stark, I know you're at home, don't worry, I just want to talk to you and that new friend."
“It’s really hard for these guys to like.”
Tony doesn't hate Phil Colson, but he doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D. He is full of distrust of this institution - in fact, he lacks trust in any official institution. So he has always avoided contact with these people. Even if the one-eyed director comes to him and persuades him to join their plan, he never nods and agrees.
"I think let him in, otherwise he will continue to get entangled."
It is best to just explain Tony directly here. If S.H.E.L.D. is shameless, Ethan would not suggest causing them some minor troubles - it shouldn't be too big, at most it would be the level of S.H.E.L.D. disappearing from this world.
Jarvis followed Tony's orders and opened the door and put Colson in. They also soon met the middle-aged man who was a little bald in the living room.
"Hello, for the first time I met, I am Phil Colson of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau."
"Oh my god, haven't you changed your name yet?"
“We are already doing the relevant process.”
"It's so troublesome to change a name, that's why I don't like you."
"It's a little trouble, but many processes are still necessary."
After Tony let out a few words, he found that Colson always responded with a smile and always looked directly at Ethan in front of him. He knew that he could only rely on Ethan himself next. Of course, if the other party could not do anything excessive at his home, Tony still had this confidence.
"Hello, my name is Ethan." Seeing that Colson was still smiling and looking at him, Ethan had to continue introducing: "He is currently serving as Mr. Tony Stark's personal health consultant."
"I wonder what professional advice Mr. Ethan has provided to Mr. Stark?"
