Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 251: The Hardworking Tony Stark

"We all know the effort you have put in."

As a top-level spy, Natasha had a precise grasp of psychological aspects. She could see that Tony was completely in a state of anxiety, an anxiety that was internally draining. If it continued for such a long time, an average person would likely suffer premature aging.

Fortunately, Tony's physical condition was strong enough. As a top-tier billionaire, he put considerable effort into his physical health and had one of the world's most luxurious medical teams.

Moreover, Jarvis could monitor his body at any time. Despite Tony's penchant for drinking and eating burgers, he didn't lack any nutritional elements.

If there was any deficiency, Tony's chef team would supplement it under Jarvis's reminder.

Natasha and Barton, after joining the Avengers, could see Tony's efforts. Over the years, Tony had spent substantial funds and diligently helped the Avengers members improve their abilities and develop specialized equipment and weapons.

Additionally, he had built a Starlink satellite group around Earth's perimeter. This Starlink satellite group could monitor any situation within the solar system.

Once any alien life entered the solar system, the Starlink satellite group would immediately detect it, sending a warning to the Avengers' headquarters.

Tony also planned to upgrade the Starlink satellite group in the future, equipping it with offensive weapons, making it the outermost defense force in case of an invasion, thereby buying time for Earth to prepare.

Tony had already done an excellent job over the years. Even Natasha, who initially didn't have a good impression of Tony, noticed the change.

Despite many negative comments in his comprehensive personality analysis report, Tony's efforts in recent years had changed Natasha's perception. She realized that the former playboy had undergone an astonishing transformation.

This transformation, a prodigal son's return, must have had a catalyst.

This catalyst would make many people awake and change their views.

However, Natasha didn't know what the catalyst for Tony's change over the years was.

Could it merely be the major events like alien invasions, the Hell’s Gate, and the invasion of demons?

As a top-tier billionaire, knowing that someone could deal with these powerful demons meant Earth had a strong protector. Natasha had a good idea of who that was.

The ostrich mentality is not exclusive to ostriches; many people have it.

Especially top-tier billionaires like Tony, who know that Earth is always in crisis, whether from aliens or demons, yet they still think, "So what?"

They are just ordinary billionaires. What could they do?

Begging aliens or demons not to kill them by offering money is a ridiculous idea.

So, the best choice is to do nothing.

Life is short, and compared to the poor, billionaires already enjoy luxuries that ordinary people cannot.

Moreover, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. As long as it doesn't affect them, they should continue to enjoy their lives.

At most, they would spend money to form a competent superhuman team to protect themselves and their families.

That a playboy like Tony could undergo such a change and worry about Earth's safety more than all the superheroes surprised Natasha.

Natasha's comfort didn't have much effect.

Tony clearly understood his thoughts and had a clear judgment, knowing how the current situation and his efforts would impact the future and Earth.

He did worry about Earth's safety, but unlike others who would be consumed by anxiety, his anxiety gave him a stronger drive to develop technology to protect himself and Earth.

"You and Barton were on a mission, right? How did it go?" Tony changed the topic.

Natasha knew Tony didn't want to talk further about it, so she cooperated and nodded, "It was the usual. A few people who awakened abilities thought they could use them to make money and started committing crimes."

"Their abilities were decent but not strong enough, so capturing them was not difficult."

Once people awaken superpowers, they easily become unbalanced. The sudden acquisition of powers can change personalities, making them more arrogant and prone to anger.

They may believe these powers can change their fate, leading them easily to a path of crime.

After all, nothing can bring money and status faster than robbery and crime.

However, compared to top agents like Natasha and Barton, dealing with them was not difficult. Natasha, herself an enhanced individual, had received a serum injection during her training in the Red Room.

Although she lost her uterus and wasn't a normal woman, she gained greater strength and speed than normal men, though not as much as Captain America, Steve Rogers.

With her mastery of top-level assassination techniques, combat skills, and specialized equipment from Tony, Hank, and S.H.I.E.L.D., her combat power increased significantly.

With strategic planning and information superiority, Natasha and Barton easily captured the superhuman criminal group.

They had performed such tasks countless times over the years, and it was routine.

However, this time, Natasha had something else to report.

She tapped her wrist, and a holographic projection appeared, showing a barren desert.
