Chapter 40

"Wow!" Katherine first exclaimed, "Little Henry, you are not afraid of bullets, is this true?"

"Well, I have to say it hurts, but it can't be shot through." Henry lied a little here.

It's impossible to be painful, and the action of the palm slightly denting and being repelled before also belongs to performance. Henry didn't want to make himself too monstrous in the eyes of others.

"Wait a minute!" Tony Stark, who shouted loudly, stopped the voices of others who wanted to speak, and he was thinking very seriously with his head down. He said in his mouth, "Let me think first."

"Hmm... is there anything to think about?" Henry was puzzled.

"So, when the gunfight happened before, you were actually following behind me like wearing a bulletproof vest that was airtight. And then I was stupid enough to think you needed to be taken care of, so I blocked in front of you, blocking many dangers for you. Is that what it means?"

Henry spread his hands and said with an annoying expression, "Mr. Tony Stark, I think I advised you not to get involved in the gunfight and just find a place to hide, right?

"As for what happened later, why can't you understand it as me blocking bullets that might come from behind for you? Although being sneak-attacked from behind has never happened."

Tony stood up, his tone becoming more and more excited, and said, "So, I was like a guy with a bare butt, holding a gun and shooting at a group of professional killers. And you could have walked directly in front of them and beaten them down one by one. Is that what it means."

Henry answered very seriously, "This kind of thing is impossible. Because normal people just need to see that the opponent can be immune to their weapons and is still walking towards them, as long as their brains are not broken, they all know to hide first."

A certain Kryptonian avoided the question of beating people.

"So!" Tony Stark hammered the table excitedly and said, "What I did at the risk of my life is like entering a paintball field to play a survival game for you."

"Hmm, sir, if you want to use this metaphor, it's actually not wrong. It's just that I think you can calm down and think about the problem."

"You want me to calm down! You never said this kind of thing. If you said it, I would definitely have other solutions. Instead of rushing up and shooting at others stupidly like a fool." Tony was about to explode.

"This kind of thing..." Henry widened his eyes and said with an unbelievable expression, "Who would hang it on their mouth all day, for fear that others wouldn't know.

"Do you expect me to introduce myself when I meet you: Hi, hello. I am Henry Brown, an alien from Krypton. I can fly and drill into the ground, spray sparks from my eyes, blow storms from my mouth, and be invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire.

"If I say this, ninety percent of people will treat me as a lunatic, and the remaining people will treat me as a joke. Because how can I prove those things?"

"Didn't you prove it today!" Tony said excitedly.

"That's because it's an interview. I have to provide evidence to prove that I am qualified for the job of driver and bodyguard, so I did this kind of thing. Otherwise, do I have to shoot myself in front of every new friend I meet to show others? Even lunatics wouldn't do this."

"But you can say it! Whether you believe it or not is someone else's problem."

"Oh, then Mr. Stark, would you say to everyone: Hello, I am Tony Stark. My dad is Howard Stark, and Stark Industries is my family's industry. Now I am studying at Caltech, and I am a genius..."

"Wait!" Tony interrupted Henry and said, "I was studying in the Department of Electrical Engineering at MIT at the age of fourteen, and finally obtained a doctorate in engineering physics.

"I am on vacation at Caltech, and by the way, I am studying for a doctorate in aerospace engineering. The genius point is not wrong, but I am not an ordinary Caltech student."

"Yeah, yeah." Henry rolled his eyes and held his hands to the sky, saying, "Then would you show off these things to everyone? For fear that others wouldn't know, and say it once every time you see someone?"

"Of course I wouldn't do that kind of thing like a peacock showing off its feathers. And I want to emphasize that although my surname is Stark, I haven't asked for money from home since I was twelve. Including tuition, I paid for it with my own patent income."

"Yeah, why do you think that what you wouldn't do, I have to hang on my mouth every day? Young Master Stark."

I don't know if Henry's tone was too cold, Tony's anger directly changed direction, and he emphasized again: "I said it, call me Tony. I have no other relationship with the other Mr. Stark except for blood."

"Hehe." Henry looked at the big house left and right, Tony's clothes of at least five digits, and the French meal that had already started to serve desserts on the table, and couldn't help but retort:

"Your genius brain wouldn't think that only taking money handed over by parents counts as taking money from home. Except for inheriting Stark Industries, everything else counts as starting from scratch. Everything here was obtained by yourself?"

Tony paused, his tone weakened, and said, "Having a house to live in, clothes to wear, and food to eat, isn't this a normal thing. If I have to refuse even these, then I am too pretentious."

"Hehe, yeah." Henry didn't say much. If he continued, it would look like criticizing people.

"Wait a minute! I was dizzy by you. Is what you just said true? Those aliens and so on." Tony seemed to wake up and pulled the topic back to Henry.

Henry slapped his forehead with a big palm and said, "Oh, God, Tony, can't you tell the truth from the fake. If I said I could break the dimensional boundary with one punch, and run through the world. Then do you believe it or not?"

Hearing Henry's unbelievable description, Tony of course didn't believe it. But the fact that his body could block bullets just now was confirmed with his own eyes. He thought about it and said, "So, actually you had a chance to save Josh Hilton at that time. Right?"

"No, I didn't have a chance."

It's impossible to admit that he could save him even if he died. Besides, I just don't want to save him, so what.

"How is this possible, obviously you are not afraid of bullets, you could have blocked a shot for that fatty. You wouldn't ignore an innocent person being shot for personal grievances."

Henry said, "Whether that fatty is innocent, I am not a judge, I can't determine. And if I want to save people, I have to run over first.

"Then before the gunman shoots, block in front of that fatty who is larger than me. Do you think the group of gunmen who appeared last would shift their attention because of my actions, giving me a chance to save people?"

Considering the flower bed where he was hiding at the time, and the crowd controlled by the gunmen, unless there was super speed, it was indeed impossible to save anyone.

But Tony said dissatisfiedly, "But you didn't even try."

"Knowing that you can't do it and still wasting effort, that is the act of a saint. I am just an ordinary person with special abilities."
