CHAPTER 104 DISPLAYING HIS BRAVERY AND WISDOM

A few minutes later, Lin Rui and Tony were sitting face to face in a coffee shop. As for the car and the repair shop, it is now the property of Stark’s industry.

“Mr. Stark, it seems that I have to pay you for the repair of my car now.” After taking a sip of coffee and putting the cup in front of him, Lin Rui looked across at Tony and said with a smile. Although Lin Rui couldn’t understand the world of rich man, he was secretly very happy to see Tony buy the repair shop directly.

“Five hundred dollars. If you want a car, I can give you a new one. Stark Industries has been designing its own car and the latest anti-gravity maglev vehicle is about to take shape.” Hearing that Lin Rui was still struggling with five hundred dollars, Tony said with a smile. With the value of the gla.s.s of water that Lin Rui gave Tony last night, he can pretty much ask Tony anything. That gla.s.s of water saved Tony’s life.

“Ohh, The Stark Industries has been designing their own car, obviously you want to drive a faster and more exciting sports car? And isn’t it too extravagant to add anti-gravity technology to a car! Will it run on the ground? Or fly in the air?” Lin Rui spoke quickly as he heard Tony’s words. When did the Stark Industries get interested in cars? If it wasn’t for Tony, the entire Stark Industries combined wouldn’t be able to make anti-gravity cars.

“Although I know that Mr. Stark has always been generous but how can you promise to give me a new type of car that has not yet been finalized. It is too generous.” Although he was saying these things without much emotion showing on his face, Lin Rui’s face was still very happy.

“Right, why did you come here? Seeing your drunkness last night, I thought you would have to sleep for a few days?” Lin Rui started asking questions.

Lin Rui still doesn’t know that all of his little movements last night were recorded by J.A.R.V.I.S. and Tony already knows that he is alive today because of Lin Rui’s gla.s.s of water. If Lin Rui had known, he would have taken the time to come up with several excuses.

“Don’t you know why I came here to look for you? Jackson.” Picking up the coffee in front of him, Tony thought about Lin Rui question and replied with one of his own.

“Well? How should I know?” Lin Rui is stunned when he heard Tony’s words, but he was still very confused.

“Where did the gla.s.s of water you gave me last night come from? Don’t say anything about pouring it out of the fridge. J.A.R.V.I.S. has your video of last night. That gla.s.s of water was poured out of your pocket from nothing.” Looking into Lin Rui’s eyes, Tony didn’t beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.

“Uh, that gla.s.s of water? Isn’t that a normal gla.s.s of water…” Lin Rui didn’t feel good when he heard Tony’s words. Originally, the fridge was his prime excuse, but Tony already blocked that excuses.

“To tell you the truth, before last night, I was about to die of Palladium Poisoning. But after drinking that gla.s.s of water you gave me, the palladium in my body was cleared overnight. I know you helped me.” Seeing that Lin Rui was still acting silly, Tony continued.

“This…Mr. Stark are you sure you got cured because of that gla.s.s of water. Maybe you ate something else that cured your poisoning.” Lin Rui couldn’t find an excuse so he could only say nonsense.

“Jackson, you can rest a.s.sured that you saved my life. If this is your secret, I won’t force you to say it. But I hope you can give me some of that water, I need more time to find new elements to replace Palladium. Although I’m recovering now, the core of Palladium in Arc Reactor is still invading my body all the time and I’ll die a month later because of Palladium Poisoning.” He seemed to know that Lin Rui would not say or explain anything and Tony did not press him anymore, and then made a request that was very important to him.

Even if Lin Rui didn’t tell Tony where the magical water came from, at least he could help Tony get some time so he had more chances to find an alternative to Palladium and get rid of the threat of death forever.

“This… well! Mr. Stark, I am telling you the truth. The water I gave you last night and the charms I gave you before were all from a magical place. I know they have some magical effects, but I don’t know why they work like this. As for the extra gla.s.s of water you said you wanted, I’m sorry, I only have that one.” Hearing Tony’s earnest request, Lin Rui finally gave some selective facts. He just described the system as a magic place, which is not deception.

“Magic place? Where? XC? Nepal? Bermuda Triangle? Mysterious Island?” Sure enough, Tony reminded Lin Rui of some of the magical places on Earth that are old and mysterious.

“Neither, Mr. Stark. I won’t tell you where the place is, because I don’t even know.” Shaking his head, Lin Rui denied Tony’s guess. Why doesn’t Tony guessed that they were from an alien planet? That would be a bit more reliable.

“And, you said Palladium Poisoning, I think a month is enough for you to find new alternatives.” As long as Lin Rui tells Tony about Howard Stark’s legacy in S.H.I.E.L.D., he will soon find a new element and he won’t have to worry about his body.

Tony was disappointed to hear Lin Rui’s words and leaned back in his chair. Although he now has one month to search for a new element, he has been searching for new element for so long without any results. How can he guarantee to find it in the next month?
