Chapter 102 Watergate Upgrade Completed

Lithium dioxide injections can effectively alleviate the symptoms of palladium poisoning, but only provide temporary relief and cannot cure it, as the symptoms are likely to recur.

Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not immediately use them on Tony.

However, today, Natasha Romanoff, who had just infiltrated Stark Industries, reported that the reactor in Tony's chest was gone!

With the reactor missing but Tony still alive, does this not indicate that all of Tony's injuries have been healed?

Regardless of how Tony removed the shrapnel from his body and healed the large hole in his chest, the fact that his problems have been resolved caught S.H.I.E.L.D. off guard.

Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. planned to approach Tony with the lithium dioxide injections and Howard's notes and relics when he was truly desperate, indirectly saving his life and gaining his goodwill.

Tony's stubborn nature meant he couldn't be swayed by material interests, so the best way to make him comply was to use emotional bonds.

And indeed, in Iron Man 2, this was what S.H.I.E.L.D. did.

But now, the sudden appearance of Wu Chen, played by Qianshoufeijian, disrupted S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plans.

This unexpected turn of events immediately alerted Nick Fury.

After much thought, Nick Fury decided to personally bring Howard Stark's notes and relics to find Tony.

While it couldn't be a case of giving aid to the needy, if they couldn't even add a finishing touch, then S.H.I.E.L.D. might as well disband.

What use was such an ineffectual organization anyway?

However, Nick Fury's actions weren't purely a finishing touch.

Finding a new element to upgrade the miniature reactor and reconciling Tony with his father would also be of considerable help to Tony.

In fact, Tony cared deeply about his father, and his previous playboy demeanor was largely due to the lack of affection from Howard Stark during his upbringing.

So Nick Fury's actions, while not exactly a lifesaver or a finishing touch, could roughly be considered charitable.

Overall, it would still leave a good impression of S.H.I.E.L.D. on Tony.

So, Nick Fury arrived at Tony's place with the notes and a suitcase of relics, saying, "Stark, while tidying up recently, I found your father's notes and relics. They might be helpful for upgrading your reactor."

After delivering this lengthy speech, Nick Fury noticed that Tony and his assistant Pepper Potts were embracing, seemingly about to kiss.

Accidentally interrupting Tony and Pepper's intimate moment, Nick Fury was almost kicked out by Tony on the spot.

Fortunately, waving the notes in his hand saved Nick Fury's position of being invited for tea at Tony's place.

"Old man's notes?" Tony curiously took the notes and relics from Nick Fury, not suspecting him, and began to inspect them.

After a while, Tony frowned and began to examine the relics in the suitcase.

After searching for a while, he looked up and saw Nick Fury looking at him with curiosity. He couldn't help but say impatiently, "The tea's already been drunk. Isn't it time for you to leave?"

"Oh, I was just wondering why your reactor in your chest is gone?" Nick Fury didn't conceal his interest in this matter.

"You're talking about that?" Tony paused, "A friend of mine introduced me to someone powerful who helped me heal."

"Your friend, a powerful person? Who are they?" Nick Fury wanted to dig deeper, but Tony directly showed him out.

"You can figure it out yourself. I won't betray my friends easily."

Seeing Nick Fury off, Tony took out a videotape from the relic suitcase and played it.

Meanwhile, as Nick Fury prepared to leave, he pondered over who Tony's friend could be.

A friend of Tony's who's also acquainted with a powerful person mustn't be Colonel Rhodes.

Who could it be then? Who would become friends with Tony... Nick Fury's eyes lit up as he thought of Tony's recent visits to Wu Chen.

Suddenly, a series of associations appeared in Nick Fury's mind. "Wu Chen doesn't have the ability to treat or heal, and it seems that way with Qianshoufeijian too. In that case, has Konoha sent another powerful individual?"

"I'll have to pay a visit to Wu Chen, the S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant!"

Nick Fury thought about Wu Chen, while Wu Chen himself was excited beyond measure.
