Returning to the perspective of Tony Stark and Ethan, they had just heard an explosion.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the door of the secret room where they were imprisoned was twisted into a pretzel, and an Asian man wearing goggles and a black trench coat suddenly appeared not far from them, smiling in front of them.
"Hello, Tony Stark, do you want to be my son?" Chen Ye showed a friendly smile.
Looking at the stunned Tony Stark and Ethan, Chen Ye realized the awkwardness of the situation.
Then he awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, wrong channel. Just kidding, hello, my name is Chen Ye. I was entrusted by Ms. Pepper Potts to rescue you."
Tony Stark pointed casually at Chen Ye and then at the outside, saying, "Was that magic just now? Or what? How did you suddenly appear in front of me?"
"Just a small superpower, not worth mentioning." Chen Ye instinctively reached out to shake hands with Tony Stark, but then suddenly remembered that Tony Stark didn't seem to like shaking hands with others.
"So, are we rescued now? Do we really not need to worry about outside?" Ethan, who had been ignored, finally spoke.
"It's fine, my partner will take care of it." Chen Ye waved his hand.
Suddenly, a figure flew rapidly towards Tony Stark; it was Pietro.
Pietro saw Tony Stark and thought of his foster parents, wanting to rush over and punch him.
With a "whoosh" sound,
"Stop!" Chen Ye appeared in front of Tony Stark, his right hand blocking Quicksilver's punch.
"Woah, woah, woah, what are you guys trying to do, Chen? Who is this white-haired guy who looks like he has cerebral palsy? And hitting people? I'm going to deduct your pay." Tony Stark's arrogant personality re-emerged, seemingly because he was about to be rescued.
"Tony Stark, you damn arms dealer! You damn murderer! We shouldn't have saved you!" Quicksilver roared under Chen Ye's suppression.
"Pietro's foster parents, the family in Sokovia, were killed by a missile manufactured by your family, Tony Stark. In this disaster, you destroyed his home," Chen Ye explained.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I truly didn't know the weapons my company produced were used like that. I always thought they were for protecting people," Tony Stark said, looking down in thought with a hint of remorse.
"Not long ago, I saw a young man die precisely under the weapon I originally intended to build to protect them.
I realized this was wrong. I came to this World to contribute more to the World, not just to build explosive weapons.
I have deeply realized my mistake. When I go back, I will give you an explanation, I will give you an explanation, Mr. White."
Pietro listened and suppressed his furious emotions. After all, the Tony Stark in front of them was still their protection target.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Stark, are you still hungry? Want something to eat? Just wait a moment for my friend to sort out the trouble." Chen Ye asked Tony Stark.
Then he gestured to Quicksilver, who understood and pulled out two cheeseburgers from his bag, giving them to Tony Stark and Ethan.
"Wow, cheeseburgers! How did you know I like these? Heaven knows how I've been for the past month. I just wanted this bite. Just for this burger, I've decided you're my friend."
Chen Ye was overjoyed as he heard a voice in his mind:
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully adding Tony Stark as a friend."
"Congratulations on obtaining the attribute: Person Cursed by Knowledge."
"Do you want to merge immediately?"
"No," Chen Ye replied. Now was not a good time to merge.
"System, scan Tony Stark for me."
"Ding!"

After looking at Tony Stark's attribute panel, Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little envious. As expected of a protagonist.
Seeing Tony Stark and Ethan wolfing down their food, Deadpool would still take a while to finish clearing the battlefield.
Chen Ye silently chanted, "System, merge for me."
Instantly, Chen Ye's brain began to activate. A beam of light moved rapidly within Chen Ye's brain.
Chen Ye only felt his brain's thoughts suddenly leap, and the World became clearer.
His mind felt as if a door had opened, and ideas gushed forth like a spring.
Chen Ye's mind was not dull to begin with, and now, having merged with Tony Stark's attributes, he was now one of the smartest people in the World.
"System, open my panel."

"System, what's the situation with 'unupgradable'?"
"Host, some people are favored by Heaven at birth. Many times, progress cannot be made through acquired effort. It can only be upgraded through certain events or by stacking attributes randomly obtained through favorability."
"Ah, so that's why success is 99% talent plus 1% effort. Most of what they say about effort leading to success is a lie," Chen Ye muttered to himself after listening.
"What? You said I'm a genius? Thanks. I always have been." Tony Stark wiped his mouth with his elbow after finishing his burger.
Chen Ye rolled his eyes after hearing that.
However, Chen Ye didn't really dislike Tony Stark's arrogant personality. How to put it, he was real and unpretentious.
After all, with his experiences since childhood and his status, he didn't need to curry favor with anyone, which probably led to his sharp tongue and soft heart.
In his previous life, when Chen Ye watched the movie, he felt that Tony Stark was the biggest warm-hearted guy in the Avengers. He actually prepared himself for sacrifice at any time, leaving everyone else with what they needed.
So, Chen Ye, whether he had a system or not, wanted to get to know and be friends with Tony Stark. After all, who would refuse to be friends with a generous billionaire?
The sounds outside the room gradually quieted down, only the "tap, tap, tap" of footsteps could be heard.
"It should be over. My partner should have cleaned up, Mr. Stark," Chen Ye said to Tony Stark.
"You'll be able to go back and see your family soon," Tony said to Ethan.
Ethan responded with a wry smile to Tony, his eyes vacant.
"The scumbags outside have been dealt with by the great My Lord Deadpool. With such little strength, they still dared to kidnap my sugar daddy. Too bad you didn't see my heroic posture." Deadpool walked in swaggering, holding swords in both hands, and Deadpool held guns in both hands, just short of having a cigar in his mouth.
"Chen, your partners are quite special," Ethan said, looking up and down at the man and the dog.
"Hey, Chen. Your partner's black bodysuit taste is really bad," Tony Stark said, pointing at Deadpool.
"This must be the adorable sugar daddy, Mr. Tony Stark, who has a glowing chest like a robot, right? Nice to meet you, call me Deadpool, or you can call me dear. As long as the money is in place, I can do anything." Deadpool quickly promoted himself.
Quicksilver, standing by, covered his forehead, feeling that knowing Deadpool was truly embarrassing.
"Alright, stop chattering. It's time for us to withdraw, Mr. Tony Stark and Mr. Ethan. Congratulations on your freedom! I'm contacting Happy and them now to send people to pick us up." Chen Ye led the way out.
Chen Ye picked up a satellite phone and dialed a number: "Ms. Pepper Potts, we have successfully found Tony Stark and rescued him. Please send someone to the rendezvous point to pick us up. What? You want Tony Stark to answer the phone?"
Then Chen Ye handed the satellite phone to Tony Stark, motioning for him to answer.
Tony seemed a bit uneasy, taking the call awkwardly and starting to communicate.
Soon, the communication was over. Tony Stark put down the phone and slowly said to Chen Ye, "Thank you."
Then he turned around, gathered his blueprints, and walked out together.
