After talking to Kara about the movie, Russell was just about to leave the dressing room when his cell phone rang.
Tony's call!
What was he calling for?
Looking at the name on the caller ID, Russell had a trace of doubt on his face.
Although his relationship with Tony was okay, they basically didn't see each other very often.
After pressing the connect button, Tony's voice rang.
"Are you free now? Would it be convenient for you to come over to Stark Tower?"
"What's matter?"
Russell asked rhetorically.
"Um...I have encountered some troubles, some troubles that cannot be solved. I may need your help."
Tony's tone sounded a little disappointed, not at all like his usual personality.
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
Although he didn't know what kind of trouble Tony had encountered, since Tony took the initiative to call, he didn't mind going there.
"By the way, take your armor with you when you come here."
Tony added.
After hearing Tony's words, Russell suddenly thought of something.
This guy probably wanted to talk to him about palladium poisoning.
Judging from the time, it is almost time for Tony to encounter the problem of palladium poisoning.
"good!"
Russell did not refuse and replied directly.
"Then I'll wait for you in the building, and you can just fly over."
After saying that, Tony hung up the phone.
"If you encounter other problems during the filming process, you can tell me at any time."
Russell turned to Kara and said.
"Yeah, I know!"
Kara nodded back.
However, just as he was about to open the dressing room door, Russell suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, absolutely don't shoot scenes that are too revealing, and don't shoot kissing scenes or sex scenes."
"Tell the director, don't play with those damn unspoken rules on the set."
"I don't care what they did in Hollywood before, but now since they are making movies for Octopus Monster Media, then they can make movies in a peaceful manner."
After seeing Russell's serious expression, Kara suddenly laughed, her smile bright and colorful.
"Don't worry, who do you think I am? I'm Superwoman!"
After speaking, Kara raised her white and tender right fist that seemed to have no strength at all.
"Superwoman is also a woman, and having multiple eyes is not a bad thing."
"Okay, I understand, I will protect myself!"
Kara said carelessly.
Seeing Kara's expression of not caring at all, Russell shook his head helplessly.
However, he didn't say anything else and left the dressing room.
After taking the elevator back to his office, he flew out of the modified window and flew towards Stark Tower.
Octopus Tower and Stark Tower are both located in midtown Manhattan, and the straight-line distance between them is only about one kilometer.
A few seconds later, Russell arrived at Stark Tower and landed in the designed aisle.
At this time, Tony was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing sunglasses and holding a glass of whiskey in his hand.
After seeing Russell arriving, Tony stood up and walked towards Russell.
"Want something to drink?"
As soon as Russell walked into the living room, Tony said to him.
"Scotch."
Russell replied directly.
When answering Tony, he looked at Tony a little with perspective.
Sure enough, as he expected, Tony's palladium poisoning is now very serious.
The blood vessels around the Ark reactor bulged like veins, and the strange color spread to the surroundings, even further away, it had spread to the neck.
Compared with the "green veins" around the Ark reactor, the marks on the neck are not particularly clear.
But it is obvious that as long as Tony continues to use the Ark reactor made of palladium, it will only be a matter of time before he dies from palladium poisoning.
Tony came to the bar in the living room, found a bottle of scotch whiskey of good vintage, and poured Russell a glass.
Then, he returned to Russell and handed him the wine glass.
“Let’s sit down and talk!”
Tony said to Russell.
"good!"
Although Tony is now wearing sunglasses, it can be seen that he has not had a good rest for a long time, and the dark circles under his eyes are not as serious as usual.
When Russell sat down, Tony drank all the whiskey in the glass and continued: "Didn't I ask you to bring the armor?"
"If you want to see my armor, I can take it out and show it to you at any time."
After hearing Russell's words, Tony was stunned and looked at Russell quickly.
"Looks like you found a new way to carry it."
Tony said with a complicated expression.
"So be it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come to me. What's going on?"
Russell took a sip of the whiskey in the glass and said slowly.
After hearing his words, Tony did not answer immediately, but shook his head with a wry smile.
Then, he grabbed the collar of the T-shirt and pulled it down slightly, exposing the "veins" around his neck and collarbone.
"As you can see, I'm poisoned, palladium poisoned!"
"This thing saved my life in Afghanistan, but now it's killing me."
Tony said pointing his finger at the Ark reactor on his chest.
"This shouldn't be difficult for you to solve."
"You just need to find a skilled doctor to remove the bomb fragments from the body and then stop using the reactor."
"As far as I know, there are not a few doctors in the world who can perform such high-level heart surgery. With your ability, you can easily find one."
Russell said slowly.
"Yes, I can indeed find such doctors. I have already contacted several of them."
"But you know, that's not all I want."
Tony looked at Russell seriously.
"I can remove the Ark reactor on the chest and install it on the suit as an internal energy source."
"But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. As long as the armor still uses the Ark reactor with palladium element, I will be affected by the palladium element while wearing the armor. I need a new element to replace the palladium element."
"I've tried all the elements, and none of them can achieve the effect of palladium."
At this point, Tony sighed helplessly.
"So you want to see the reactor my suit uses?"
Russell asked Tony.
"That's right! On the surface, your armor's energy source is also the Ark Reactor."
"But I know that it's not a simple Ark reactor."
"Although I don't really want to, I must admit that Howard, the inventor of your suit of armor, has done something that I haven't done. He is not one or two steps ahead of me, but a whole street ahead of me."
"I want to see Howard. As long as you agree to let me see him, I can satisfy you on any condition."
"Even if you want shares of Stark Industries, I can give you half of the shares in my name."
Tony said excitedly.
