Killian and Ivan Vanko, who were subdued by Raine, were not as vicious as in the original timeline, but they still maintained their hatred for Tony Stark.
Killian was once tricked by Tony and left stranded on a rooftop in winter, almost committing suicide.
Ivan Vanko harbored a deep grudge against the entire Stark family, having stolen the honor belonging to the Vanko family from the Arc Reactor design.
Fortunately, things didn't get out of control.
After Killian was recruited by Raine, the Sullivan family secretly recruited him from the underground. This led to a situation where Killian's family, along with others, were forced to leave their mark.
The Extremis virus developed by Killian has very few side effects, does not alter a person's character, and will not cause them to self-destruct due to emotional excitement.
At most, it will only cause temporary weakness after using high-temperature energy.
After Ivan Vanko was recruited by Ryan, his father did not die, and he was disciplined and his unruly nature was tamed. His hatred for Tony Stark did not reach the point of life and death.
Even Renn didn't notice.
While developing their mechs, Killian and Ivan Vanko were secretly plotting something...
Time passes bit by bit.
Quiet and happy days always disappear so easily.
Before we knew it, the day of the science and technology expo had arrived.
New York, Flushing Meadows, and the entire Corona Park have been transformed into a massive science fiction park by the Stark Industries.
This is the second time New York has hosted a science and technology expo since World War II.
The New York City government took the lead and brought in support from several top technology companies, including Sullivan Group, Stark Group, and Hammer Technology.
Furthermore, Tony Stark will be a key guest at the opening ceremony of the entire technology expo.
As night approached.
Throughout the expo, clean energy lights provided by Stark Industries illuminated the entire park.
Rennes rarely has a moment of leisure.
At Laura and Ophelia's insistence, he pretended to be an ordinary person, with the two women by his side, and aimlessly strolled around the entire expo with the crowd.
On the stage at the far end of the crowd, Justin Hammer danced a rather flamboyant little dance while hosting the opening ceremony.
And just when Justin Hammer was at the height of his fame.
In the deep night sky, a pale blue shooting star streaked across the heavens, descending from the sky in an even more flamboyant 'superhero' pose, landing on one knee.
With a series of clicking mechanical sounds, the golden-red steel armor bloomed like a lotus flower.
Tony Stark, dressed in a casual suit, arrived with a barrage of fireworks and cannons, even invading the expo's backstage area and playing his personal background music.
In an instant, Justin Hammer's face turned dark.
Justin Hammer and Tony Stark engaged in a heated exchange on stage, delivering a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
People seemed to enjoy seeing this battle between conglomerates, cheering and laughing heartily.
And in the audience.
Ryan, who was originally enjoying watching the 'live-action movie' with two beautiful women in his arms, suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and his expression turned from laughter to tears.
"Honey, what happened?"
"Uh, it's not a big problem."
"So there's a problem?"
"Don't worry, they won't cause any major trouble. It's Killian and Ivan Vanko..."
Chapter 372 Tony: Let her go, she's my horse.
Ryan had a relatively high level of trust in both Killian and Ivan Vanko.
Firstly, after he subdued these two individuals and they were listed on the Investiture of the Gods, most of their violent tendencies were washed away, and they were no longer as obsessive as before.
Secondly, with the expo being held right under his nose, Rennes wasn't worried about any problems arising.
At this point, after a moment of slight amusement and exasperation, Ryan decided to continue watching the show.
as predicted.
As Justin Hammer's face grew increasingly ashen from Tony Stark's mockery.
The control center of the science expo was hacked once again, and the background music became eerie and crude.
"The first snow of 1990, it was a lonely figure standing on the rooftop..."
It was accompanied by a rather rough and funny singing voice.
Tony Stark, who was originally on the stage, suddenly became solemn and instinctively returned to where his armor was, covering himself with the armor again.
No one stopped Tony Stark from doing what he was doing.
Just as people were becoming increasingly suspicious, a lift on the stage suddenly opened.
Wearing a silver suit, the handsome and dashing Kilian emerged from the elevator, holding Pepper's hand.
"Surprise!"
After arriving at the factory, Killian first waved to Tony, then very gentlemanly kissed Pepper's hand before waving to the crowd below.
"Wow, that's explosive! I know that woman, she's the CEO of Stark Industries."
"She's just average-looking, but she must be Iron Man's girlfriend."
"Who is this handsome guy? Is he trying to steal the bride?"
"Stop talking nonsense. This is a technology expo, not Iron Man's wedding. It should be called a robbery."
"Has the chaebol dispute just unfolded, and now it's another love triangle among the wealthy?"
"Seriously, this is supposed to be a science expo, why are we being forced to watch this melodramatic soap opera?"
Whether it's below the stage or during the live broadcast.
The unexpected changes at the expo made countless people extremely gossipy.
at the same time.
Tony, who had just donned his Iron Man armor, turned ashen-faced. His visor snapped open, and he roared fiercely at Killian, "Hey, boy, get your paws off me, that's my horse!"
Pepper Potts: "..."
Hearing Tony's angry shout.
Kirian immediately smiled even more brightly, looking 'frightened', and released Pepper.
And when Tony strode over, reaching out to take Pepper away...
A bright red hand, radiating intense heat, swiftly gripped Tony's wrist.
Tony was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, he couldn't break free of the steel arm.
Until then.
Killian slowly suppressed his smile, his gaze calm yet concealing a raging storm as he looked at Tony Stark.
"Oh wow, the famous Tony Stark, the superhero Iron Man."
"You don't remember me, do you?"
The bright red palm radiated a heat that even steel could not withstand.
Tony was stunned for a while until the burning heat from his wrist brought him back to his senses. He quickly activated the anti-sneak attack device and flicked Killian's hand away.
Even so, the steel armor on Tony's wrist began to twist.
Tony then looked at Killian with a serious expression and asked, "Who are you? What kind of person are you?"
As Tony spoke, miniature missile windows popped up on his shoulder, and pulsed energy gathered in his palm, emitting a buzzing sound.
Looking at Tony's wary expression.
Killian suddenly burst into wild laughter, laughing so hard he couldn't stop, and he bent over, clutching his stomach.
Killian's maniacal laughter abruptly ceased. His gaze swept over Tony like a blade, then turned to Pepper, saying, "Pepper, why don't you tell him who I am?"
Tony's gaze quickly shifted to Pepper.
Pepper gave a forced and apologetic smile, nodded slightly to Killian, and then looked at Tony with utter disappointment.
"Tony, do you know just how much of a jerk you used to be?"
Tony: "..."
Damn it, what are you talking about? You're my girlfriend.
Pepper sighed and said, "1990, Switzerland, Science Inspection Funding Association..."
Tony looked completely bewildered and asked, "What?"
Pepper glanced at Killian, then at Tony, and continued, "Tony, you're a real bastard. You promised Killian you'd see him."
Tony looked bewildered and asked, "So what? I didn't see him?"
Pepper took a deep breath and said, "Maya Hansen."
