“Peibo, how about we pick out a place for a vacation?” Iron Man said to Peibo.
“I’m sorry, but the company has a lot of things to deal with,” Pei-Pop said helplessly.
“Peibo, life isn’t just about working,” Iron Man said.
“Yes, Tuoli.” Peibo Boci stopped in her tracks. “However, life isn’t just about having fun. Look at Xu Fu, he was on official business in the Eastern Dwarf Kingdom a while ago.”
"Eastern Dwarf Country, official business?" Iron Man chuckled. "I checked the intelligence. Currently, a girl named Zhen Lizi is in charge of the former group."
Therefore, I don't think Xu Fu is simply going through the motions.
“You’re not the same as everyone else,” Pepper Potts said irritably.
"It's quite obvious that Xu Fu went there, probably still to fish."
"Stanker replied."
It seems that Xu Fu has now become someone similar to Iron Man.
beep...beep...
At that moment, the smart access control system of the compound sounded its horn.
“Wait, someone’s here…” Iron Man said. “On Friday, turn on the surveillance.”
“Yes,” the intelligent system responded on Friday.
On the living room screen, a man in a suit appeared, looking particularly imposing.
"Who is this person?" Iron Man asked, puzzled. "Could it be someone from the media? Tell him I'm not home."
There will be no response until Friday.
The old man chuckled and said, "Iron Man, is this how you treat an acquaintance?"
"An acquaintance?" Iron Man's mind was filled with questions.
“Peibo, do you know this person? I’ve lived for so many years and I don’t seem to have any information about this old gentleman.”
Iron Man quipped, "Is there something wrong with my image?"
Regardless, Iron Man couldn't recall this person at all. Yet this person claimed to be an old acquaintance; could it be that they actually knew each other?
But that's impossible.
Iron Man himself doesn't know many people, so there's absolutely no reason for him to have an acquaintance who is that old.
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen this person before,” Pei Boci said, shaking her head.
"I see. Is it possible that Xu Funian has gotten older?" Iron Man casually remarked.
"Tuoli, why don't you let that old man in and ask him? You'll find out."
Pei-Poppo said.
"Good idea," Iron Man laughed, snapping his fingers to signal Sunday Friday to open the door.
Iron Man saw the old man 0.8, who was none other than Mandarin.
"My lord, do I know you?" Iron Man asked.
“Lord Stark, won’t you invite me in for a seat?” Mandarin said with a light smile, seemingly unconcerned about Iron Man’s slight disrespect.
“Alright, then come in,” Iron Man said. He had absolutely no reservations about this Mandarin.
He had no reason to be afraid of a rough old man.
Alright, Iron Man is completely wrong. This old gentleman in front of you is no ordinary old man.
He not only had a great reputation in the underground society, but also possessed a sacred aura.
Even though Iron Man is wearing his Iron Man suit, there's no reason why he should be the enemy of the Mandarin in front of him.
Of course, Iron Man was still unaware of these things; he remained carefree and self-righteous, believing himself to be invincible.

"Now can you tell me who you are? I don't recall having anyone as familiar as you."
Iron Man looked at Mandarin, who had already sat down, and said speechlessly.
When this old gentleman arrived at his home, he showed absolutely no courtesy. He immediately sat down, as if he had made the place his own.
“Who am I? You may call me Mandarin,” Mandarin said slowly.
"Mandarin? That name sounds familiar." Iron Man pondered for a moment.
"Isn't it similar to the name of your former rival, Mandalina?" Mandalina pointed sharply at the opposite side of the coffee table.
An orange landed in Mandarin's palm, and he brought it to his mouth and ate it.
Iron Man's eyes narrowed slightly, for there was no reason why such an ability should belong to an ordinary person.
"Who are you?" Iron Man asked, his eyes wary, ready to summon his Iron Man suit at any moment.
Through countless generations of enhancements, the steel armor has become exceptionally convenient.
It can attach itself to Stark in an instant.
This is also so that Iron Man can better protect himself in fierce battles.
"Lord Stark, you want to summon your Iron Man armor, don't you? There's no need to rush. If I really want to fight you, I'll give you time to put on your Iron Man armor."
Therefore, you need not worry.
Mandarin continued speaking nonchalantly.
"As for who I am, I think you've probably heard the rumors. I am Mandarin, the true commander of the Order of the Commandments."
Countless wisps of cold air emanated from Mandarin's palm, and the next second, the orange in his palm shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
"The true leader of the Order of the Storm, Mandarin." Iron Man took a deep breath. He had never imagined he would encounter the real Mandarin.
In fact, Iron Man also investigated whether Mandarin existed at that time.
Judging from the faint traces...
Mandarin really does exist, the difference is that he has been hiding in the shadows all this time. Iron Man feels that there is no way he could have any connection with Mandarin.
But he hadn't anticipated that this was not something he could decide, and that Mandarin would actually come to him on his own initiative.
"Then I'd like to ask, Mandarin, what exactly do you want from me?" Torishtak quickly regained his composure.
Since Mandarin said that even if the two sides were to fight, he would wait for Iron Man to put on his armor.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Iron Man believes Mandarin's boasts. After all, it would be strange if Iron Man believed the words of the leader of a sinister organization.
The difference is that, at present, this Mandarin really has no plan to fight him, and Iron Man does not want the situation to escalate.
He planned to hear what Mandarin was trying to do.
“Lord Stakker, you are very much like me, capable and idealistic. Perhaps we can form an alliance,” Mandarin said with a slight smile.
"An alliance? What are you planning to do?" Iron Man forms an alliance.
“Naturally, we should become the rulers of the world. You and I have similarities, so I believe we can form an alliance,” Mandarin said.
You want to become the ruler of the world? What does that have to do with me?!
"Iron Man grumbled. He had been expecting Mandarin to offer some advice, like becoming the ruler of the world himself."
Iron Man has no interest in becoming the ruler of the world, let alone becoming the world's ruler, and according to Mandarin's meaning, it's not about him becoming the world's ruler.
Instead, he was responsible for helping this Mandarin become the ruler of the world.
“You know, the world has changed, I shouldn’t be here,” Mandarin said.
“Yes, I know. You should be in some old, decaying coffin somewhere underground,” Iron Man said without hesitation.
As the leader of the Order of the Storm, Iron Man doesn't think Mandarin is a good person, let alone now telling him that he has become the ruler of the world and asking him to form an alliance.
Iron Man had nothing nice to say to Mandarin about this.
"Lord Stakker, are you truly unwilling to form an alliance with me?" Mandarin flicked the commandment ring between his fingers, smiling softly, though his expression was filled with murderous intent.
Mandarin is also a particularly delicate person.
He saw that Iron Man resembled him, and thus gave Iron Man this opportunity.
But since Iron Man refused, Mandarin wasn't going to be so boring as to give Iron Man the decision.
"Since you have decided to end it, you must have considered all the consequences, Mr. Iron Man."
“Of course, I have no interest in forming an alliance with you,” Iron Man quickly replied. “But Mandarin, you said you wouldn’t fight me in my armor. Do you mean what you said?”
"Don't overthink it. Since I've said it, I naturally have no way of overturning it. I'll give you time to put on your steel armor."
Mandarin smiled faintly, "It's only for one minute."
“One minute,” Iron Man said. “One minute is enough. I reckon Mandarin, you're a very good person.”
If you do not wish to become the ruler of the world, perhaps we can form an alliance.
“No need, we’ve already lost three seconds,” Mandarin said.
"Alright." Iron Man shrugged. Mandarin, don't say I didn't give you a chance.
