A Beautiful Life From Gwen Spider-Man

Chapter 81 Iron Man's sense of crisis!
A remote tavern near Culver University.

Under the dim light, an old man in military uniform was sitting in a corner, smoking a cigar and drinking wine.

The old man in military uniform had an unshaven beard on his face, and even his back hair, which had been meticulously groomed in the past, was now in a mess.

Obviously, it has been a while since the instrumentation problem has been properly taken care of.

Only under the occasional flickering light from the TV screen could people barely recognize that this old man was General Ross who had just suffered a disastrous defeat.

This ruthless general who was willing to sever ties with his own daughter in order to complete the mission, after suffering a fatal blow to his career, could only hide in a tavern and get drunk in depression.

Fortunately, the military uniform he was wearing was enough to deter him, so no drunkard dared to trouble him.

Just as General Ross, who was drunk, raised his hand to let the waitress continue to serve him wine.

Suddenly, the door of the remote tavern was opened from the outside.

Cold fresh air poured in from the open door, refreshing the stale air in the tavern that was originally filled with the smell of alcohol and smoke.

A man in a haute couture suit, while arranging his cuffs, walked into the tavern against the dazzling light outside the door.

The man looked about 30 years old, with dark brown slightly curly hair, and every strand of hair seemed to be carefully groomed.

The facial features are deep and just right, and the eyes are shining. Coupled with the well-tailored high-end custom suit, the whole body reveals a chic aura with unique personal charm.

The waitress, who was about to greet the guests, looked at the man's highly recognizable face, and suddenly subconsciously covered her mouth!

"My God...you are Tor..."

As soon as the waitress said the words, the man stretched out his hand and made a quiet gesture, and then put a one hundred dollar bill on the tray in the waitress's hand.

By the way, he winked at the waitress.

"Beautiful lady, if you don't mind, can you serve me a glass of whiskey with ice? By the way, let me and my old friend quietly relax, I don't want others to disturb you."

The waitress happily accepted the huge tip, then nodded quickly, turned around and immediately went to prepare whiskey for the man.

Next, the man walked up to the decadent General Ross and sat down.

In a familiar tone facing an old friend, he said:

"The taste of beer mixed with failure, kind of bad!"

"You know General, I hate to say things like [I told you long ago], but that [Super Soldier] project wasn't frozen for no reason!"

"Compared to humans, I have always believed that metal machines are more reliable."

General Ross raised his head and squinted his drunken eyes at the man beside him.

"Stark?"

"Good afternoon, General."

"You always wear such a nice suit, it's like a businessman talking about business anytime, anywhere."

"A very precise description, General, I heard that you are in a little trouble?"

Tony Stark's eyes drifted to the TV screen above his head, which was showing the scene of the abomination destroying the city and fighting the metal giant.

General Ross shook his head with a wry smile.

"Stark, if you are also here to laugh at me, then it's a bit late, I'm already tired of hearing those cynicisms."

Tony Stark raised his glass and took a sip, smiling and shaking his head.

"General, you understand me, I'm not the one to throw stones at my friends!"

General Ross opened his eyes a little.

"Then why did you come to see me? Let alone drink, the quality of whiskey here is pretty bad."

Tony Stark smiled and put down his glass.

"I won't waste your time, General. The purpose of my coming here today is to cooperate with you, General."

"Cooperation? Do you think that everything I buy from Celestial Industries is free? That damn Kelly, she spent all my military budget for a whole year! You are late, Stark, I don't have any military budget to do business with you."

General Ross took a puff of his cigar in frustration, and exhaled a big puff of smoke.

Regarding this information, Tony Stark seemed to have known it for a long time, without the slightest surprise.

"Although the price of that [big toy] is high, you must admit, General, that its power is quite good."

"The power is indeed good, but it's a pity that the maintenance cost is as high as [-] million US dollars, and the next [big toy] can only stay in the warehouse."

The [big toy] that the two of them were talking about was the Colossus No. [-] that was previously driven by Emil Bronski.

The severely damaged Colossus No. [-] has exceeded the scope of the warranty.

Therefore, Kelly is going to kill General Ross once again, and the maintenance cost will be as high as [-] million US dollars.

General Ross has nothing to do about this, he can only temporarily store the Giant God Soldier No. [-] in the warehouse, and wait for the budget next year before repairing it.

However, this is also the ultimate purpose of Tony Stark's trip to visit General Ross.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in that [big toy]. If you don't mind, General, you can send it to me for repairs!"

General Ross raised his eyebrows when he heard this sentence.

Looking at Tony Stark's gaze also brought a hint of meaning.

"I see. Didn't you think that the super genius Tony Stark would have a day of crisis?"

"Even Stark Industries feels threatened by the mecha technology of Tianjie Industries, right? That's why you personally dispatched to investigate the details of your competitors!"

Tony Stark knew that he could not deceive General Ross, so he nodded very simply.

"There is no eternal technological leadership in this world. I will never underestimate anyone's wisdom, but I have to admit that this time the Celestial Industry really gave me a big [surprise]!"

"So, the greatest respect for a competitor is to have a deep understanding of the opponent!"

General Ross smiled because it was the only good news he had heard today.

"I can send Colossus One to you for repairs, but I won't pay for the repairs."

"You are going too far, General."

"Stark, this is what you came to ask me for."

"Well, the repair fee can be waived, but you have to pay for the materials used in the repair process."

"Hahaha, good! It's a deal!"

……

……

After negotiating cooperation with General Ross, Tony Stark immediately used his contacts and relationships.

Transported the damaged Colossus No. [-] back to his extremely luxurious coastal villa.

Underneath the coast villa is Tony Stark's private research room.

For the arrival of Colossus [-], Tony Stark witnessed it together with his personal assistant and girlfriend - Pepper Potts!

I saw Pepper Potts frowning and looking at the behemoth in front of him.

Anxiety was clearly visible in the depths of his eyes.

Because, Pepper Potts felt quite a strong uneasiness.

The reason why Stark Industries has always been able to become a world-renowned cutting-edge technology company.

It all lies in the technological leadership of Stark Industries.

All kinds of cutting-edge technology products on the market, except for the field of drones, are almost all occupied by Stark Industries.

Since Tony Stark officially and completely took over Stark Industries, there has never been any technology company that has been able to challenge the leading position of Stark Industries.

Even Hammer Industries, which is slightly smaller than Stark Industries, can only occupy some low-end market share through poor imitation and shameless plagiarism.

However, the appearance of this behemoth in front of him announced that Stark Industries' technological leadership, which is invincible in the world, has been severely challenged.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Pepper Potts feels anxious and uneasy.

That's why Pepper Potts persuaded Tony Stark to let Tony Stark cooperate with General Ross.

To understand the extent of the threat that Celestial Industries can pose to Stark Industries one step in advance.

But Tony Stark didn't feel too anxious at this time.

He looked at the powerful silhouette of the metal giant in front of him, as well as the extremely perfect detail design.

The eyes are full of extremely pure appreciation!
It's like looking at a unique work of art.

Even if you let him just do nothing like this, watching for a day and a night, he won't feel the slightest irritability.

After a few minutes, Pepper Potts felt a little strange, and quickly reached out and pulled Tony Stark's arm.

"Tony... Tony... are you okay?"

Tony Stark regained consciousness when he heard Pepper Potts' call.

"Sorry, I was a little fascinated by it for a while, it's really an elegant work of art! I really want to meet the person who created this mecha, I believe we can become true friends!"

Several black lines appeared on Pepper Potts' forehead, and he couldn't understand Tony Stark's brain circuit.

"Tony, this piece of mecha will pose a strong threat to Stark Industries. Our technological lead is gone. You must take it seriously. We have met a real opponent this time!"

Tony Stark didn't quite agree with that.

"Relax Pepper, any technological explosion in history is due to competition, and a pool of stagnant water cannot breed better technology! We need such an opponent!"

"In fact, I've had countless inspirations now, it really moves me! I haven't felt like this in many years!"

Looking at the excited Tony Stark, Pepper Potts felt even more speechless.

She has never been able to understand what is going on with the brains of these super geniuses.

Why would such a bad thing be regarded as a good thing by Tony Stark?

But fortunately, she was able to maintain sufficient calm and rationality.

"Tony, don't be too busy admiring it. Has the power of this mecha been released? There may be a back door inside, we have to get rid of it first."

"Don't worry, I've taken out the energy module a long time ago. It's an energy technology of the same level as my Ark reactor. I'll start repairing it here first."

Tony Stark took off his suit shirt and put on only a vest, and went into the maintenance work.

……

……

At the same time, the market size is only slightly inferior to that of Stark Industries, and Hammer Industries, which is regarded as a strong competitor of Stark Industries, has also fallen into chaos because of the big news suddenly made by Tianjie Industries.

Especially when Justin Hammer saw the terrifying combat power of Colossus One.

That night, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep completely, and I lost a lot of hair that was not much.

The top of the head looks more and more sparse!

But unlike Tony Stark, Justin Hammer only wanted to keep his market share in the military industry.

And don't care about healthy competition in the field of science and technology at all, and make progress together!

Therefore, Justin Hammer issued an order to let the scientific research team under him make every effort to imitate and manufacture a mecha product equivalent to the Giant God Soldier No. [-].

But at the same time, he was also sharpening his head, trying his best to steal the technical secrets of Tianjie Industry.

For this reason, he even began to think about whether to cooperate with some super villains and try to grab the core technology of Tianjie Industry.

……

……

After a month of cold treatment, the riots caused by the abomination and the Hulk finally subsided slowly.

During this process, both Peter and Gwen returned to their normal rhythm of life.

Gwen is in the summer vacation, although she doesn't have to go to class, she still lives a very self-disciplined life.

Every morning, she rushes to Tianjie Industrial Park for training.

Peter spent a huge amount of money to build a super training camp in the Tianjie Industrial Park for the upcoming Celestial Guards.

This super training camp not only has the most professional various fighting courses available for learning, but also works with nutritionists and rehabilitators.

Gwen is the first participant in the super training camp.

After Gwen has finished the regular strength training, there are swordsmanship courses and fighting skills courses waiting for Gwen.

And after the training, Gwen can immediately eat the nutritious meal prepared by the nutritionist for her.

It can also perform ultra-low temperature cold therapy and hyperbaric oxygen chamber physiotherapy in the shortest time to efficiently recover muscle fatigue and muscle damage caused during training.

It is with the help of such diligent, self-disciplined and scientific training that Gwen's strength and speed are slowly but firmly improving.

Spider-Man's potential is huge. At present, the potential that Gwen can tap is probably not even half of it.

After training during the day, Gwen will turn into Spider-Woman to fight criminals at night.

It's just that the industry in the heavens has developed so fast recently that even Peter has been busy, so Gwen can only go out by himself recently.
