Winter quietly visits this bustling city.

Freight trains rumbled past on the crisscrossing tracks.

There are few pedestrians on the road.

Except for work needs, not many people are willing to go out in this bad environment with heavy snow. Occasionally, two or three pedestrians are wrapped tightly under the heavy snow, hugging their arms, squinting their necks, stomping their shoes, and silently rushing on their way under the heavy snow.

Compared to people who can sit peacefully in the office or on the warm bed at home in this harsh environment, enjoy the heating and drink warm coffee comfortably, there is another kind of person in the corner of this city.

beggar.

and homeless people without status.

Some remote alleys and corners of the city, and even the wide sewers, are the homes where these people can live. Even if this home is very simple.

Ivan Fanko is one of these people.

The difference is that Ivan Fanke does not need to move from time to time like those "mile populations". He has a very good place in the eyes of people of the same group. A remote and abandoned basement at the entrance of a closed alley.

The space in the basement may not be as big as a bedroom in Tony's mansion. It is densely packed with various instruments and debris, which makes it difficult to get out of the way. Some large debris were used as wall panels by Ivan, and several rooms were separated in the space where he was located. A soft light added a bit of bright color to this dim and windowless space.

The instruments in the house were the only property of Ivan Fanko. He saved up little by little money from selling various programs and coding for people. Of course, he has made far more than this money in the past years, but a large part of the money he earned needs to supply his terminally ill father, which is more expensive than all the people in this city and this country.

They have no identity, cannot leave this country, and they cannot enjoy the welfare that this country gives to the people.

Just recently, the doctor who was impressed by Ivan Fanke with money had clearly issued a critical illness notice to his father Lao Fanke.

"Ivan?"

A low and weak call sounded in the dim space, awakening Ivan Fanko, who was sobbing silently outside by the wall.

Ivan Fanko raised his head from the wall and looked at the place where the sound came.

In the basement, on the only iron bed, an old man with a severely swollen face and weak mentally was watching his son sitting next to his bed and gently tucking the corners of his quilt.

At the foot of the bed, a TV was playing the news of an interview.

Which company and individual is the most popular and topical company recently?

All media workers and the public will undoubtedly tell you that it is Stark Industry and Tony Stark, who is in charge of Stark Industry! The playboy, arms tycoon, and energy businessman who was always active in media newspapers, and will never lack topics of discussion, and is chased by various journalists!

Any reporter can choose a topic that matches the characteristics of the newspaper he contributes to. Some people even joked that putting aside Tony's complex identity, just the title of a playboy, and relying on the endless scandals with all kinds of big stars and popular supermodels, hundreds of paparazzi journalists can be fully fed.

The general public likes this, and likes to count which big-name female star Tony has joined today and which supermodel with a big figure has brought back to the villa for the night.

But since Tony was kidnapped and returned, Tony has not had such scandals for a while, and a few of them are also stolen. Those reporters who only expect Tony to live in a scandal are randomly arranged out of nothing, or take out previous scandals to revive them.

This has disappointed many entertainment reporters recently, and even maliciously speculated that Tony was suffering from some ulterior motives when he was kidnapped? Otherwise, why would the former playboy suddenly feel no feelings for women and no longer travel through various cocktail parties and banquets?

But compared to the depressedness of entertainment reporters, media and programs such as financial reporters and current affairs talk shows cheered loudly. Because since Tony Stark admitted in public that he was Iron Man in front of hundreds of reporters, he has frequently appeared in various media and programs.

If you buy a newspaper at a newspaper booth, the headlines will definitely be inseparable from Tony, who has been incredibly popular recently.

Check out the headlines of the Internet.

First article, Tony.

The second one is the steel suit.

Article 3, Stark Industry.

Article 4: Our inventive genius, the Iron Man, and where and where we are going to be a hero and righteous country.

Article 5, Stark Technology Expo.

Article 6,...

Like newspapers, when the TV is on, as long as it is a news media or financial news, Tony will definitely be a person who is hanged by the anchors and cannot ignore it. In this unprecedentedly popular topic, unless you don’t read newspapers, watch TV, or watch the Internet, you will not be able to escape this news vortex.

Its Heat level is comparable to that of the Osborne Industrial Event.

This is the trend, and SHIELD is not able to suppress it. Or they can eliminate these news, but they are not interested in paying attention to it at this moment.

Just a steel suit, the crystallization of high technology is not as terrifying as aliens and biological weapons, and is regarded as a taboo.

"...I'm not a hero. I have many shortcomings and have made many mistakes in public..." On the screen, Tony Stark was well-dressed and talked loudly against the reporters.

"That should be yours, Ivan," Anton Vanko gasped, "The person standing there should be you and not him."

"Don't listen to these stupid words." Ivan Fanko patted Lao Fanko's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"I'm sorry." Anton Fanke's swollen eyes could only open a line. He looked at his son, feeling guilty: "I can only teach you all my knowledge."

Ivan Fanko's eyes were filled with tears, and he watched as he gasped violently on the bed, his face turned red, as if he was like a candle in the wind, and the old man who would extinguish the glory of life in the next moment, but he could not say anything.

When the old man's body stopped breathing, no longer trembled, and became cold, the stone statue of Ivan Fankoru sitting on the bed.

...

"I promise you the conditions, but you must also give me the corresponding materials."

Ivan Fanko stood in a telephone booth at the entrance of the alley, watching the heavy snow flying all over the sky, and said to the people on the phone.
