Chapter 22: Lu Yuan and Tony, Heart-to-heart

Holding a glass of wine, Lu Yuan and Tony sat on the ground in the underground studio, drinking and chatting.

To be honest, the two of them were talking very well, even though their personalities were different. Tony was just a carefree young man, and he had always been wild and unrestrained.

This was not the case with Lu Yuan. If Lu Yuan was also unreliable and not serious, he would not be the highest commander of Krypton.

Lu Yuan only looked a little vicious now, but in reality, when he was on Krypton, he was a ghost that people loved and feared.

Lu Yuan’s subordinates loved him and feared him to death because he had never made a joke and his military career had always been flawless.

It was just that nowadays his life was very different from his old life on Krypton. It was more like returning to his life on Earth, so he was not so strict and self-disciplined.

He and Tony were from two different worlds, but it was very strange that they could talk to each other so well.

Tony was very curious about one thing. “Why are you helping me like this?”

Tony had only invited Lu Yuan to be his bodyguard, but he had already done too much. Whether it was helping him develop this Mark battle suit or helping him find out who the mole was, it was beyond his job as a bodyguard.

If it was not for Lu Yuan’s help, Tony, who had not experienced the shock and growth, would still be an unreliable, rich second generation.

It was because of Lu Yuan’s guidance that he would develop this battle suit and grow in the future.

But why? Why did he want to help him? Tony was very puzzled.

Lu Yuan gently shook his glass and watched the bright red wine sway in the glass. He revealed a satisfied smile as he smelled the fragrance of the wine.

As for Tony’s question, he took a sip of his wine and leisurely spoke, “Tony, you originally thought that you were more outstanding.”

Tony smiled and said, self-mockingly, “I definitely understand myself better than you.”

He didn’t deny that he was unrestrained. It was said that he had dated every woman on the cover of a magazine last year, except for one month. But one of the cover girls had a twin, so it was equivalent to not missing a month.

This was a fact.

“Really?” Lu Yuan looked at Tony and asked, “If I asked you that when you encounter a special situation and need to crawl over the barbed wire to let your teammates climb over, would you do that?”

Tony spoke without hesitation: “I will find pliers to cut the barbed wire.”

“You say that Tony, but I know that you will choose to sacrifice yourself,” Lu Yuan was serious. He was looking at Tony with bright eyes, but there was sadness deep in his eyes, both for Tony and himself.

Lu Yuan was right. Tony seemed to avoid responsibility when he said that, but every time he was the first one who chose to sacrifice himself.

When passing through the wormhole with a nuclear bomb, he had never thought about whether he could come back. If he had made a mistake, he would have been stranded and died in outer space.

He had used his mortal body to face Thanos and even paid the price of his life to snap his finger.

What Lu Yuan admired about Tony was that he was indeed worthy of being a superhero, just like him.

Lu Yuan knew who Darkseid was, but of course, he also knew about his terrifying strength.

But as soon as he got the news, he chose to protect Krypton.

He knew that he would die, but he still fought till the last moment, until he died.

Then he was resurrected, turned into a monster, and became the first Doomsday.

However, the resurrected Lu Yuan did not hold any grudges. Instead, he returned to the battlefield and faced Darkseid once again. This time, he won.

He didn’t even hesitate to die again and again because he had to protect Krypton, his homeland, and his compatriots.

He did not even hesitate to face the rampage of the 100,000 Doomsday, and finally wiped out his former 100,000 subordinates by himself.

However, what he got in exchange was not a heroic song, but fear.

But Lu Yuan had never complained or held any grudges. He had never even given up on himself. Instead, he had completely recovered his consciousness. Even as a Doomsday, he looked like an ordinary person.

This required great self-control and spirit.

Therefore, he knew and favored Tony.

Why did he have to help Tony get back on the right track as Iron Man? It was because he did not want Tony to fall because of him. Tony was a superhero, and he did not want him to go off track.

There was only one reason he was helping him, and that was because both of them were superheroes.

Lu Yuan was willing to help Tony because he appreciated him.

“Besides, I may be your bodyguard, but if you become the Iron Man, and your enemy is killed by you, I won’t have to worry about your safety. Isn’t it good to get paid every month without doing anything?” Lu Yuan touched the cup in his hand with Tony and drank it in one gulp.

Tony stared at this shameless guy, dumbfounded. He felt like he had been fooled.

Damn, how can there be such a bodyguard?

“Return my money,” Tony shouted.

Lu Yuan carried two bottles of wine and ran upstairs with a smile.

Tony did not chase after Lu Yuan. He just looked in the direction that Lu Yuan had left and suddenly felt that he was no longer afraid of him.

In the beginning, he had kept him by his side to protect himself because he was afraid of Lu Yuan’s power. He would rather bribe him with a large price and be a nanny than harm his own life.

Now, it seemed like they were beginning to joke around like old friends. They could drink to their heart’s content, and they could chat without restraint.

Thinking about it, Lu Yuan had even told him that the end of science was to become a god. He almost used Asgard, or the new god race, as an example.

Lu Yuan really wanted Tony to become the Iron Man because both of them got along well.

The day passed. Obadiah was still very trustworthy. He called Lu Yuan the next day and gave him a lot of money. It was more than 30 million US dollars.

However, Obadiah was very bad. He had used his own identity to call Lu Yuan, which was easy to find.

Lu Yuan found it funny that Obadiah was warning him to remain silent because he had evidence.

However, how could he know that Lu Yuan directly showed it to Tony and shamelessly asked him, “Do you think he paid enough?”

Tony’s eyes were spinning. Wasn’t this guy unwilling to tell him who the mole was? Why did he change his temper today?

But Tony pretended to be ignorant and said, “It’s definitely not enough. You should let him pay 50 million more.”

“OK,” Lu Yuan directly called and told Obadiah, “I asked Tony. He said that this thing is worth at least 300 million U.S. dollars. You have to give me another 50 million.”

Obadiah almost vomited blood, but he had no choice to give money to such a shameless person.

Of course, he didn’t believe that Lu Yuan really asked Tony.
