Druid’s Marvel Travels

Chapter 60: Oaks And Rhodes

“Oh, good luck… If I guessed correctly, you are Colonel James Lord?”

In Malibu’s sea-view villa, before Oaks entered the door, he saw a black man in a military uniform who was seriously preparing to enter.

Being able to come to Tony’s villa is like going to your own home. Except for Pepper, there is only Colonel Rhodes, not even Oaks.

“Um?”

Rhodes, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was stunned for a moment, stopped, and when he turned his head, he saw a red-haired youth standing behind him.

He couldn’t help but put on a defensive posture – even if he was thinking just now, he was 100% sure that there was no one around him at all!

“Dr. Oaks Lin?”

But seeing the red-haired youth clearly, Rhodes reacted.

He helped Tony investigate the information of Oaks, and there are not many who can be called friends by Tony.

And with his channel, the identity of the environmental consultant of Ox SHIELD is not a secret.

“Sorry, I’m a little allergic… I’ve heard it for a long time, Dr. Lin.”

Although it’s a little strange how Oaks appeared, but just one day after Tony’s accident, the other party came from New York, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

Rhode relaxed, smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Oaks:

“Tony often mentions you to me.”

“Just call me Oaks, but unfortunately, I only heard Colonel you in Tony’s complaints.”

Oaks’ sense of humor was obviously very appealing to Rhodes, who pouted exaggeratedly:

“It’s not easy to be that guy’s friend, isn’t it?”

“It’s not easy, I even came to his house for the first time.”

Oaks grinned:

“If you don’t come today, I can’t even get in the door. I’m ready to climb the window.”

Rhode shook his head with a wry smile and sighed:

“Tony’s matter even disturbed S.H.I.E.L.D.? What are you going to do about it?”

He was really stupid to think that S.H.I.E.L.D.’s environmental consultants only deal with environmental issues.

“It’s not a big deal, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn’t ready yet.

It’s just yesterday, they need me to see Tony’s state.

I read the news, but Mr. Senator, the military, and public opinion are all focused on the steel armor. I have to say that this is doing nothing. ”

“Oh? How do you say that?”

Rhodes secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that if Oaks came to receive Tony’s armor technology on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., he would have nothing to do.

He can still say a few words in the military by virtue of his relationship with Tony.

But for S.H.I.E.L.D., it doesn’t matter if a few generals come to talk, let alone a colonel.

“Meaning, they were completely immersed in the frenzy that someone had accomplished the feat of ‘Bleeding God’—

The events in Monaco made Tony, a giant whale in its prime, bleed.

The smell of blood attracted countless sharks, greedily trying to rip fresh flesh from their former guardians. ”

Rhode nodded silently, and saw Oaks raised his finger and pointed to the villa:

“But they have forgotten, or are simply unwilling to admit, that Iron Man is the product of the combination of Tony and Iron Armor.

Without the armor, Tony can still develop other things to replace it.

But without Tony, anyone else who gets a battle armor will not be Iron Man.

The armor is just a tool, the key lies in the person who controls it—

Drones can never replace real fighter pilots, can they? ”

“…”

Rhode was sluggish for a while, then let out a long breath:

“I totally agree with the last sentence.”

Stepping forward to open the door of the villa, Rhode made a gesture of invitation to Oaks:

“Ox, I’m a soldier, I have to carry out orders…

But I am also Tony’s friend. If there is only one choice between him and the armor, I will choose to protect him. ”

“Children make choices.”

Oakes shrugged, showed a smile, and stepped into the door while Rhode was absent-minded.

“That old fox Fury, hiding this from me… think I don’t know?”

When Oaks entered the door, he saw that Pepper and another beautiful woman in formal dress were busy on the phone.

Natasha Romanoff, a level 7 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., now under the pseudonym Natalie, works undercover at Stark Industries as Pepper’s private secretary.

Because except for one name, Pepper has now almost replaced Tony’s CEO job.

If he hadn’t thought that he could still be rescued, he would have given this position to Pepper long ago.

“Hi, ladies, is Tony there?”

“Oh, Oaks!”

Pepper stood up in surprise and put down the phone:

“Why are you here… I mean, I’m glad you can come here.”

She also knew something about Oaks, not to mention that the other party saved her life.

So she stepped forward quickly, welcomed Oaks, and then hesitantly said:

“Tony he… Oaks, can I ask you to check his physical condition?

I always feel that something is wrong. His recent mental state doesn’t seem to be right. Although he tries hard to pretend that there is nothing wrong, I can feel that he has something to hide from me.

Although he was conceited and self-centered before, he was not so irresponsible to put himself in danger just to step on someone’s face.

I tried to find a doctor for him, but he refused. ”

“Don’t worry, I will.”

As soon as Oaks finished speaking, Colonel Rhodes also came in:

“Oh Pepper, where’s Tony?”

“Have you made an appointment?”

When Pepper saw Rhodes coming in a military uniform, UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to realize something.

“We met at the door.”

Oaks spread his hands, and saw Natasha coming over, glanced at Oaks seemingly unintentionally, and whispered to Pepper:

“Miss Potts, Mr. Stark confessed that he didn’t want to be disturbed…”

“It doesn’t matter, he won’t mind if these two are concerned.”

Pepper smiled and nodded to Oaks and Rhodes:

“He’s downstairs.”

“thanks.”

When they came to the laboratory downstairs, Rhodes and Oaks looked at each other and entered the password to open the door.

Walking into the laboratory, and seeing Tony staring at the monitor silently, Rhode felt his anger surge:

“Tony, you have to go upstairs to control the situation – the military wants to confiscate your armor, they don’t want to go around in circles anymore!”

“You said no one would master this technology in twenty years, but yesterday, they found out that not only someone has mastered it, but it’s not just theory—hey, are you listening to me?”

“Colonel Rhodes, his condition is not very good.”

Oaks stopped Colonel Rhodes from approaching Tony, who was sluggish, and snapped his fingers. A mass of green energy wrapped around Tony, which refreshed him.

“Wow! What is this? Magic?”

Ignoring Rhode’s exclamations, Oaks stepped forward and patted Tony, who began to smile bitterly:

“Man, it’s not good to avoid the doctor. My poor little acorn is dying of exhaustion – Pepper can’t tell if you look like this.”

“You are all here…”

Tony felt the long-lost relaxation in his body and slowly stood up:

“I think I need to change the battery.”
