Chapter 36 Tony: Tens of thousands a minute? Kid, it's not that little!
Faced with 500 million, Toby's tone even changed:
"Mr. Five Hundred Million, oh no, Mr. Stark, I guarantee I'll get you home safely as quickly as possible. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Mr. Big Poop, the money-powered superhuman, saw that Toby, this arrogant superhuman, had been defeated by his money power. His face regained its confident smile, and he pointed to the steel parts in the corner:
"Ahem, then please pack my 'luggage' a bit, I'd like to take it back as a souvenir."
Although Tony didn't explicitly say what those steel parts were, Toby, who had read the original comics, naturally knew that they were prototype parts of the first Iron Man suit.
However, since Tony didn't say it directly, Toby wouldn't ask.
After all, he wasn't very interested in the Iron Man suit.
The heavy, bulky steel armor, aside from allowing him to fly, only hindered his superb agility as Spider-Man.
So Toby simply raised his hand and shot out a fan-shaped web, wrapping the parts in the corner, then pulled them back and carried them on his shoulder.
Tony glanced at Toby's wrist, where he had shot out the spider silk, with surprise.
He had clearly seen that the other party was not carrying any launcher, but rather shooting out a spider web-like substance directly from his wrist!
However, Tony didn't ask any further questions.
After all, what superhumans hate most is having others pry into their superpowers.
This is their trump card for survival; how could they just tell others about it?
What if I get targeted after I say it?
For example, Tony himself is confident that if he knows the specific capabilities of the other party, he can create countermeasures based on those capabilities.
For example, the Anti-Spider-Man armor...
"Mr. Stark, are there any other souvenirs you'd like to take with you?"
Tony's gaze was not taken off Toby's wrist until Toby's words came.
Tony shook his head: "Just call me Tony. Everything else in this cave, besides this, just disgusts me, so no need..."
After saying that, Tony asked, "By the way, I still don't know what to call you, your name or your code name?"
"If it were any other ordinary employer, I would usually only tell them my code name, but you are worth 500 million, a major client, and I believe we have the potential for long-term cooperation in the future, so..."
Toby put his hands on his hood and slowly lifted it up, revealing his face.
"Toby Parker, that's my name."
Upon hearing the familiar name and seeing that face he vaguely recognized, Tony was somewhat surprised.
"It's you, the kid who was hailed by the New York Times two years ago as a prodigy who almost surpassed me?"
"Back then, because of this reputation, I even sent Little Chili to personally recruit you, wanting to see just how talented you really were, but you refused!"
"I never imagined you wouldn't end up going to work, but instead becoming a superhero!"
Toby raised his index finger and shook it at Tony, saying casually:
"NONONO, I'm not going to become a superhero. Superheroes save people on a voluntary basis, but I need to charge for saving people. I'm going to make money."
Tony was a little confused: "It's just a slight difference in price, is there really a difference?"
Toby's lips twitched. "The difference between a few hundred million and a few hundred million? Tsk, there's no way to talk to someone like you who makes millions in a minute..."
Tony scoffed, "Millions in a minute? Kid, it's not that little."
After saying that, Tony, reeking of money, walked out first.
Toby, meanwhile, silently changed the index finger he had raised to Tony into the middle finger:
"What a load of bull! Millions a minute isn't even a small amount. Even if Stark Industries is amazing, I'd still underestimate if they make billions of dollars a day, right..."
Ethan, who was standing to the side like a human machine, suddenly said:
"Um, Mr. Parker, that's not necessarily true. I remember Tony saying that before he was captured, he had just signed a multi-billion dollar arms deal with the military..."
Upon hearing this, Toby fell silent.
But he wasn't stunned by Tony's deal worth tens of billions; instead, he wondered if he had offered too little!
Five hundred million seems like a drop in the ocean to this guy!
But once a promise is made, it's like water spilled; Toby always insists on a fixed price, never haggling or changing his mind.
So it's not good to take back a move now.
However, Toby's smile quickly returned.
Because he had another idea, a way for him to make a lot, or even two lot, of money from Tony right away!
But we need to get him back first...
On the way out, Tony walked through the cave, looking at the teru teru bozu (a type of Japanese doll) that was either hanging from the mountaintop by spider silk or headless dolls stuck to the mountain wall by spider webs. While he was amazed, he did not feel scared at all. Instead, he felt extremely relieved!
Because these guys, almost every single one of them, has beaten him and Ethan up in the last two months!
That 500 million was absolutely worth it!
Upon emerging from the cave and seeing the watchtower covered in teru teru bozu (Japanese rain dolls), Tony was utterly dumbfounded, mechanically turning to look at Toby:
"Wardfa...can you tell me how you did it? How come none of these guys noticed you?"
To this, Toby simply replied, "How many FPS players have you ever seen who actually look up?"
One sentence silenced even the world's richest man.
After a long while, Tony secretly vowed to himself that once his new armor was built, he would pay extra attention to the top of his head during battle!
After all, he didn't want to cosplay a teru teru bozu!
While Tony and Ethan marveled at the teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) hanging all over the watchtower, Toby had already swung on his web to drive his car, which he had hidden some distance away, over.
If you ask how spider webs swing in the desert,
Don't ask, the answer is that Peter's parents are in heaven watching over him.
They're all from the Parker family, so it's not wrong for them to hang out together, right?
Seeing Toby drive back, Ethan got in without hesitation; he couldn't wait to leave this devilish cave.
But Tony stood in front of the car door, gazing at the cave with a complicated expression, and hesitated to get in.
Seeing this, Toby, in the driver's seat, stuck his head out and teased, "What's wrong? Have you developed feelings for living here?"
Tony shook his head, got into the car, and his voice lowered:
"No, I was just wondering, who sold Stark Industries weapons to the Ten Rings, and who the traitor within Stark Industries is..."
Toby's eyes lit up when he heard this, realizing that his big order was coming.
So he planned to give Tony a little something to sweeten things up first, so that he could offer a price that would make Toby happy later.
Toby pointed to the trunk and laughed, "There are RPGs in the trunk. If you really don't want your products left here, just blow them up..."
Upon hearing this, Tony raised an eyebrow: "Wow, I didn't realize you, this money-grubber, were such a nice person."
After saying that, Tony didn't stand on ceremony and immediately ran to the trunk, took out the RPG, returned to the back seat, and closed the door.
Then Tony leaned half his body out of the car window and patted the car body:
"OK, Toby, I'm ready. Drive a bit further out and I'll fire. My weapons don't have duds; firing at this distance would mean we'd both be blown to bits!"
Toby didn't reply, he just stepped on the gas and sped off.
Tony only aimed and pulled the trigger after he had calculated that the distance was safe enough.
Although Tony's accuracy with a pistol was so poor that Rhodey mocked him.
However, when faced with an RPG equipped with a scope, and a mountain of munitions, it's not so bad that it's going to be a noob.
The rocket, trailing a long plume of flame, successfully struck the munitions pile, exploding into a towering blaze!
The orange-red flames seemed to illuminate the entire desert night sky for a moment, and also illuminated Tony's face with an excited smile.
To use a phrase from a domineering CEO novel, it's been a long time since the young master has shown such a happy smile...
Seeing this in the rearview mirror, Toby felt the time was right.
Now that we've had our fun, it's time to talk business.
So after Tony pulled back out of the window, he threw a USB drive to Tony in the back seat.
Tony instinctively took it, looking at Toby with some confusion: "What's this? Your treasured torrent file?"
Toby: ......
After a few seconds of silence, Toby said meaningfully, "You're not wrong to say that, especially since it's a video with SM, bondage, and wet scenes..."
Upon hearing this, Tony's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he put the USB drive into his pocket.
"Oh! If that's how you put it, then I'll accept it without hesitation. When I get home, I'll have to really savor it."
