Twelve midnight.

As the New Year's bell rang, countless vigils began to cheer, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the night sky, Meilun Meiyang, a lively and peaceful scene.

And Killian on the rooftop seemed a little out of tune with this world.

When the wind hit his face, he couldn't even feel any chills, because the coldness on his body was far less than the coldness in his heart at this time.

Killian thought Tony would keep his promise and come to the rooftop to chat with him all night, but he ended up waiting here stupidly for hours.

He was completely played by Tony!

An indescribable feeling of shame and indignation hit Kirill's head. In his mind, Tony Stark was the greatest inventor in the world.

In a word, Killian is willing to use all the compliments to describe the white moonlight in his heart, that is his idol!

He could never imagine that his idol would deceive him to the rooftop and let his pigeon go.

At this moment, the world that Killian saw turned gray.

The more Killian thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, the more angry he felt. He only felt numb in his limbs, numbness in his heart, and numbness in his scalp...

He came to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the laughing crowd below. This strong contrast made Killian feel a sense of suffocation, and even thought of suicide.

"Mr. Killian, do you have time to talk to us now?"

Just when Killian's mind was hot and he wanted to go to extremes, a strange and familiar voice came to his ears.

Looking back, I saw that there were two more people on the rooftop.

"You are?"

Killian asked with an unnatural look, how could he look like he is now?

"Baron Zemo, from Sokovia."

Zemo introduced himself to him expressionlessly.

"Sokovia? You were at the fair before..."

Killian suddenly remembered that when he was chasing Stark's footsteps, he was stopped by someone, as if he was calling himself Sokovia.

"That's right. It seems that your memory is not too bad. By the way, I'm Rafael Pengele."

At this time, Raphael stepped forward, "Not long ago, you voluntarily gave up your best partner."

Killian's face changed, "You mean partner?"

"I have investigated AIM, a small technology company that has just been established for less than half a year. You are full of expectations for the future, but unfortunately you are short of people and money. Today, you can only rely on OEM for some gadgets as the main business."

"The most important purpose of your participation in the expo is to get suitable investors for the company. In fact, there is nothing wrong with your plan, but unfortunately you found the wrong target."

Raphael sighed, as if lamenting Killian's bad luck.

"Yeah, you're right, I misread Tony Stark, I'm an idiot, AIM will be destroyed by my hands, you can make fun of me as much as you want."

Killian said somewhat self-sacrificingly.

"Don't you hate Tony Stark, don't you want to avenge him?"

Raphael asked coldly.

"Vengeance on Tony Stark..."

Killian woke up instantly, yes, Stark made him suffer such a humiliation, how could he come back without revenge?

He actually wanted to commit suicide just now, which was really too impulsive.

But soon, Killian was discouraged.

"How can I get revenge on him? He's Tony Stark! The boss of Stark Industries, the world's largest technology company! What can I compare to him?"

"Wait... If I can convince Maya Hansen to join AIM, I can start research on the Extremis virus, which I've been following for a long time.

"Although it's inappropriate to say that the inventor of the Extremis virus is the inventor, I think Dr. Hansen's research on the Extremis virus is not comprehensive!"

At this moment, Killian was like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, and his face gradually showed a morbid joy.

"And I can also develop products related to the Extremis Virus to bring AIM back to life!"

Raphael couldn't help shaking his head. Killian is still too naive now. How could Maya Hansen simply agree to join AIM?

Thinking about it too, the experience of blowing the cold wind on the rooftop for a few hours has made Killian realize the sinister nature of the world, and it is natural to hate Tony.

But is this thing really to the point of endless death?

Just because Tony let his pigeons go, Killian endured humiliation for ten years.

No matter what other people think, Raphael thinks that the rooftop incident is the root cause of Killian's blackening, but it is not necessarily the whole reason, or this incident will not make him blackened so thoroughly.

There must have been a series of unfortunate events in the future, which made Killian's resentment towards Tony grow deeper and deeper, and he blamed Tony for all his experiences.

There must be a process in Killian's transformation from a somewhat naive spiritual boy to an ambitious anti-social element.

I'm afraid that the person who really made Killian completely crazy is Maya Hansen, who is regarded as a life-saving straw by the former, but Hansen can't look at the current AIM.

So the result can only be that Killian has a closed door, and then he will understand that nothing can be done with only legal means.

"Mr. Killian, I think you may not have figured out the situation yet. What do you think Tony Stark is doing at this time? Let me tell you, he is lying on Dr. Hansen's bed now."

Raphael poured a basin of cold water directly on Killian's head.

"You thought Dr. Hansen would agree to join AIM, a small company with no reputation at all. Do you know how many large multinational corporations want to poach her?"

Killian was dumbfounded, he really couldn't think of this level, of course not, he wasn't that stupid yet, he was just paralyzing himself.

"Look at what you look like now!"

Raphael frowned and shouted.

"I originally thought you were a talent, and I recognized your AIM development philosophy. Even if you rejected us once, I would still give you another chance, but!"

"I'm very dissatisfied with your present performance. I'm beginning to think that I may have misread you, just like you misread Stark!"

Hearing this, Killian was shocked, and he shouted loudly, "No, you read that right, don't compare me to that kind of person!"

"I... I'm sorry for being rude to you before... If it's still possible... Are you still willing to invest in AIM?"

Killian asked intermittently, feeling his face hot as if it had been burned by fire.

Raphael shook his head calmly.

Killian lowered his head in disappointment, yes, seeing his decadent appearance, Killian himself would not be satisfied.

"Don't be in a hurry to be disappointed."

Raphael suddenly opened his mouth and saw that the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and an invisible aura emanated from his body, which made Killian feel the enormous pressure, so that he couldn't help falling to his knees on the ground.

"I plan to buy AIM for a total of 20 million US dollars. You can stay in AIM and be the CEO on the condition that the company's headquarters must be moved to Sokovia."

"You hate Tony Stark, right? It just so happens that Sokovia was also destroyed by Stark Industries' weapons. We are actually the same kind of people..."

Raphael put his hand on Killian's shoulder and said with a smile, his voice was like a devilish whisper.

"Join us and become a member of the Pengele family. I can give you powerful power to allow you to learn and master technology beyond your knowledge..."

"Only in this way can you hope to keep up with Tony Stark's pace, or even surpass him!"

Killian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even had the illusion that he had finally found the direction of his life.

"My future is in Sokovia!"
