Chapter 26 Ivan Vanke’s Prison Escape
"Your family are," he said, "thieves and butchers."
"You are like all the guilty people here who want to rewrite their own history, but you forget the lives that were ruined by the Stark family."
"Speaking of thieves," Tony was unhappy when he saw the villain complaining first, "Where did you get this design?"
"My father, Anton Vanke." Ivan Vanke confessed.
"I've never heard of him."
Ivan Vanko stared at Tony, "My father is the reason you are still alive."
"I'm still alive because you had a chance to kill me and you didn't take it."
"Really?" Ivan Vanke didn't care. "If you can make God bleed, then people will no longer believe in him."
"When blood falls into the water, sharks will come around, no matter if you are Stark or God."
"I'm just going to sit here and wait and watch the world swallow you up."
Tony smiled, "Where are you going to watch the world swallow me up? By the way, in the cell, I will send you soap."
With that said, he stood up and walked out.
"Hey, Tony, before you go," Ivan Vanko stopped Tony, "Palladium seeps into your chest. It's a really painful way to die."
Tony ignored him, knocked on the door twice, and walked out after the door opened.
......
On the private plane, watching the senator's renewed pressure on the TV, Tony put a plate on the table and picked up the remote control to mute the TV.
"To be honest, he should have given me a medal."
Peibo, who looked a little haggard, looked at the plate on the table and asked, "What is that?"
"Your in-flight meal."
With that said, Tony opened the lid on the plate, and a rectangular pile of fried eggs that were still burnt around the edges came into view.
Looking at the slightly distorted meal, Peibo asked: "Did you make this?"
"Yeah, what do you think I've been doing for the past three hours?"
"You seem to be hiding something from me." Pepper said after seeing Tony's abnormal behavior.
Tony paused, "I don't want to go home at all, not at all..."
Pepper nodded.
He continued: "Let's cancel my birthday party, let's go to Europe, go to Venice."
Pepper smiled and shook her head, "I don't think this is the right time. We're in trouble."
Tony's mind is in a mess right now. The appearance of a reactor similar to his own, the pressure from the Senate, and the physical discomfort caused by palladium poisoning are all tormenting him.
"I just suggested that we should recharge our batteries and think everything through."
"Not everyone uses electricity, Tony." Pepper laughed.
Tony smiled, but was still worried.
The plane flies through the clouds and the sun sets.
......
cell.
It was lunch time again, and Ivan Vanke was sitting on the bed thinking about something.
The prison guard placed the meal on the fence gate and took a deep look at Ivan Vanko.
Ivan Vanke felt something was wrong. He took the plate and looked at it. There was a note under the cup.
He opened the note and it read, "Enjoy the potatoes."
Ivan Vanko turned over the cooked potatoes, and behind them was a miniature bomb showing a countdown.
He still couldn't figure it out.
Then the prison guard brought another prisoner who was similar in size to him and also had long blond hair.
Looking at the prison uniforms with the same number on his and his own, Ivan Vanke showed a meaningful smile.
He stood up and knocked the prisoner unconscious with two punches. At this time, the prison guard walked by and placed a key on the fence door. Ivan Vanko stuck the bomb on the wall and activated it. He picked up the key and opened the cell door. , staggered out.
He casually knocked out a prison guard who found him. With the explosion behind him, Ivan Vanke took the time to go downstairs.
As he walked up the stairs, he found that the door to the next floor had been locked and that a large number of prison guards had gathered. Seeing that the situation was not good, he decisively turned around and walked up, but was hooded by two oncoming prison guards. , held him up and walked downstairs.
Finally he was thrown into a carriage and plunged into darkness.
When the carriage door opened again, Ivan Vanke had arrived at a wide underground square, with a dining table in the middle, and Justin Hammer sitting at the other end, waiting.
"Hey, he's here." Seeing Ivan Vanke get out of the car, Hammer stood up, "It's such an honor, welcome."
"Oh my god, can you unlock the handcuffs of my friend?" Hammer looked at the prison guard behind Ivan Vanke and frowned.
After being released from the handcuffs, Hammer looked at Ivan Vanke and said, "I'm a big fan of yours. My name is Justin Hammer and I want to do some business with you."
Hammer held out his hand.
Ivan Vanko shook it.
"Please sit down."
He invited Ivan Vanke to sit down and sat back himself, "The guests are here, let's get started. What are we going to eat today, Jack?"
The chef brought the tray to the table, "Italian fresh salmon fillet."
"It's really good." Justin Hammer said: "We have whatever you want. I like to have dessert first. I asked someone to deliver it from San Francisco."
"It seems that you have a grudge against Tony Stark?"
Ivan Vanke, who was not used to being served by others, was a little confused at this time.
"I saw what you did to him on the highway, and you challenged him in front of God and all Americans, that was..."
Hammer swore.
"Your behavior touched me, so I couldn't bear the idea of you being transferred to a place like that. God, what a waste of talent. But may I suggest that you can't just go up and try to kill him impulsively."
"I think if you want to attack his legacy, that's what you should kill."
Ivan Vanko slowly chewed the salmon fillet and looked at him lightly.
"You and I, we are similar in many ways, the only difference between us is that I have a lot of resources, and you may need my resources."
“A sponsor who has your back.”
Ivan Vanko smiled happily.
......
"Yes, but the foundation of the company is still very solid, no matter what happens on the road..." Pepper, who had been appointed as executive president, was dealing with the mess when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Where is he?"
It was Rhodes who came.
"He's downstairs."
Pepper didn't think much and said to Rhodes.
Tony sat in the collection car in the basement, with light screens in front of him.
"Found it, sir." Jarvis's voice sounded. "Anton Vanko was a Soviet physicist who defected to the United States in 1963. However, he was charged with espionage and deported in 1967."
"His son, Ivan Vanko, also a physicist, served 15 years in Kpias Prison after being convicted of selling Soviet-era weapons-grade palladium to Pakistan."
"There was no record after that."
