Chapter 8: Ah, Youth...
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
The Daily Bugle was fully mobilized. All departments acted in concert, maneuvering strategically, as the heads of major departments gathered, maintaining ceaseless communication.
On this day, the Daily Bugle's operational efficiency was unprecedentedly high. They temporarily printed a new edition of the newspaper, publicizing it widely regardless of cost, attracting a large number of pedestrians to buy. Many netizens, having heard the news, also specifically logged onto the Daily Bugle's official website to view it.
As more people sought novelty, and everyone joined the chase, the ultimate outcome was that everyone became just like everyone else.
But Spider-Man truly became a sensation.
Let's take a look at the article written by that old geezer, Jameson. He enthusiastically wrote: "Spider-Man has always been arrogant, unscrupulously exercising powers outside the law. He uses his fists to commit wrongs, his webs to interfere with violence, utterly foolish, arrogant, and conceited, completely messing up what the police should be doing.
Until he met the Machinist—please allow me to refer to this mysterious Mutant who appeared during the crisis as such—Spider-Man was utterly stunned..."
...
The meeting with Spider-Man was just a chance encounter, purely coincidental, and even Tony himself was surprised.
Since personally burying his parents' caskets and offering a bouquet of flowers amidst grief and tears, Tony had declined S.H.I.E.L.D.'s invitation once again, riding his motorcycle alone to the Empire State Building.
The Empire State Building, as one of New York's famous landmarks, annually attracts tens of thousands of tourists to ascend for the view.
Tony and his parents had ascended here, just the day before the incident.
At that time, just like he was now, the three of them quietly watched the scenery from the top, in a state of serenity, tranquility, simplicity, and completeness.
In an instant, a gentle breeze softly blew, gently lifting a wisp of Tony's hair, letting it drift in the air.
This was his second time ascending the Empire State Building, and also his last. He would never, ever step foot in that place again.
This was a farewell to the past, a personal burial of his past self.
From this moment on, his old self had completely died, leaving behind only seemingly insignificant memories, like the most precious jewels, sealed deep within Tony's mind.
Tony slowly walked into the underground parking garage; he had parked his motorcycle there.
In the corner of the underground parking garage, and within several cars, people could be faintly seen; they were specifically waiting for him.
Countless Factions of all sizes and interested parties were silently watching with various methods; no one spoke, nor did anyone warn him.
"Before we make a move, to be safe, I'll ask: Does anyone still want to leave here?" Tony paused, saying slowly.
This was a truly real world, with countless dangerous super-powered individuals and evil organizations. Some choices, once made, would never offer a chance for regret.
Like top-tier Agents such as Agent Coulson, who were within the system, didn't they still repeatedly walk the edge of life and death?
Countless people were silently watching, their minds pondering things, formulating plans.
People were watching Tony through various channels, wanting to see what he would do.
Tony raised his head, looking at those in the parking garage who quietly rose and stealthily approached him, finally revealing a sinister grin...
