The atmosphere is a bit depressing.
Xia Zhiye rubbed the wine glass in his hand, as if he was trying to choose his words, but he didn't know how to choose or what to say.
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye without blinking. He rarely saw such hesitation on Xia Zhiye's face.
Except facing Natasha.
And now, he showed such an expression again when facing himself, which made Tony's heart sink. He closed his eyes and began to think about all the processes of his acquaintance with Xia Zhiye.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at Xia Zhiye: "Listen, even if I keep calling you an old man, even if I have ridiculed you more than once. But you should know the relationship between us... Ever since you took away my nuclear bomb. No, maybe even before that, maybe when we were in that damn cave, you disguised yourself as an inexplicable person and broke into that place. Ever since I first heard your name from my father's mouth... You have always been a special existence to me."
Xia Zhiye looked at Tony and didn't say anything.
Tony was also choosing his words carefully. He shook his arms, as if some of the words were very embarrassing. He stood up, paced around the room, and then drank all the wine in the glass. This was not in line with his character. He preferred to taste rather than guzzle.
But all these actions before his eyes showed that his heart was very uneasy.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and looked at Xia Zhiye: "What I want to tell you is that no matter all other external factors, I believe in you."
Xia Zhiye opened his mouth and felt his nose a little sour and helpless.
Although Xia Zhiye couldn't say he knew 100% of what kind of feelings Tony had for him, he could feel it.
Although this kid's mouth deserves a beating, he is really good at himself.
When I was missing, when I needed some support, he always helped me without any reservation!
Tony like this reminded Xia Zhiye of Howard.
He rubbed his eyes and said, "If Howard could see you now, he would be very happy. But kid, what I'm going to tell you is bad news... Of course, the final decision is up to you, and no one can deny your right."
"So, what's going on?"
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye: “Please tell me, I can’t make any judgments without knowing anything.”
"The person who killed Howard was our former comrade..."
Xia Zhiye said, "That was an era you don't understand. I won't tell you how many human relationships were involved. I can only say that this person not only knew me, but also knew Steve. He was captured by Hydra while on a mission and brainwashed to become a Hydra agent. Without even knowing who he was, he accepted the mission to assassinate Howard... The result was that he killed Howard."
Tony gritted his teeth, but his tense body sat on the chair as if it was weightless.
He rubbed his eyes gently: "Why... Just because you were once comrades-in-arms and you need to protect him? So, you can hide this fact from me?"
Xia Zhiye shook his head: "Believe me, I'm looking for the opportunity."
"Is this the best time? Our artificial intelligence project is about to start, and I promised you a condition that I would never agree to in the past. God, I even need your approval before I can do this. And you... You clearly know who killed my father, but you never told me."
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye: "Please tell me, what does your old friend's son mean to you?"
Xia Zhiye looked at him: "What do you think?"
They looked at each other, and tears rolled down Tony's eyes.
The man in front of him really treats him as a very important friend, right
More than just an old friend’s son!
I should have been the one who rushed into the universe with that damn nuclear bomb, but the one who did all this in the end was him... He died for me once!
"sorry… "
Tony covered his face with his hands: "I just can't accept it for a moment."
Xia Zhiye shook his head: "No matter how many emotions you have, you can vent them. You don't need to pretend in front of me."
"Who is he?" Tony suddenly asked, "You said, you said he was also here before? Who is he? Do I know him?"
"Winter Soldier."
Summer Night said.
"I even shook hands with him..."
Tony's eyes were filled with confusion and shock: "But, he killed my father, and he even shook hands with me..."
Xia Zhiye watched quietly, he didn't know what words he should use to calm Tony down.
Timing…timing!
Damn timing!
From the very beginning, he knew that this matter would become quite troublesome!
Because this is simply a tangled mess!
The right time? The best time
No, not at all!
There is no best time, so this time, Xia Zhiye just said it directly at this moment.
No matter what the outcome, he could no longer hide this matter.
Now that the Winter Soldier is not here, this can also give Tony some buffer time, so that his final decision will not be made in a rush.
However, no matter what decision Tony made in the end, he had no right to interfere.
Who can take the blame for my father's murder
There is no such unfair thing in this world!
Xia Zhiye couldn't even come to Bucky's defense!
So, just like now, give Tony back his right to know, and then give him a chance to make a calm choice.
That's the only thing a summer night can do.
Tony was silent for a long time, then he walked towards the door in a daze. When he passed by Xia Zhiye, he looked at him and asked, "If I kill him, will you be disappointed in me?"
However, these words made Xia Zhiye feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He looked at Tony and said seriously, "He will come back, but before that, I hope you can calmly think about the whole thing. If after careful consideration, you think that you still need to kill him to resolve this matter, then do it. This is your final decision. He is the one who killed your father, and you are the one who avenged him. No one in this world can interfere with this matter. Because no one has such a position! No matter what the reason is, it is like this!"
