The screen was full of surprises.
The video continued to play.
[In the plaza.]
A man dressed in blue sat nervously on a bench.
He couldn't stop rubbing his hands, looking extremely tense.
In fact, he looked almost unnervingly anxious.
[A bald bodyguard approached the man in blue, carrying a suitcase.]
[The two of them seemed to know each other well.]
Bald Bodyguard: "Can you handle it?"
The man in blue looked at him with a mix of eagerness and… impatience.
Man in Blue: "Yes, I'm ready."
Bald Bodyguard: "Are you sure?"
Man in Blue: "Yes."
[Step back.]
[Happy, wearing sunglasses to conceal his face, watched the secret exchange between the bald bodyguard and the man in blue through a shop mirror.]
[Happy pushed his sunglasses down slightly.]
White… noodles? A D… needle? Marijuana? Or some other new substance?
[Though Happy had always suspected the bald bodyguard wasn't a good person, he never imagined he'd do something so cold-blooded.]
The bald bodyguard smiled at the man in blue, and the man returned the smile.
Bald Bodyguard: "This stuff's good. Don't say I didn't take care of you."
Man in Blue: "Thank you."
After hearing this, the bald bodyguard turned and walked away.
Seeing him leave, the man in blue immediately opened the suitcase and checked the contents.
[After confirming everything was correct, the man in blue stood up, ready to leave.]
[Seeing this, Happy ran over and deliberately bumped into him.]
The contents of the suitcase spilled onto the ground.
[Happy immediately said, pretending to be apologetic:]
Happy: "Oh, sorry, buddy."
[While helping the man in blue pick up the scattered metal items, he secretly pocketed one piece.]
[A sly grin appeared on Happy's face.]
As expected. That bald man was definitely up to something!
Stark Tower.
Happy watched the video, seeing that he had successfully caught the suspect on the spot while secretly taking the evidence.
He couldn't help but grin.
He nudged Tony in the side with his elbow.
Happy: "Hey, Tony, I win this time.""See? See? Didn't I say that bald bodyguard was suspicious?""You have to trust my vision as the future head of Stark Industries security~~~"
After saying this, he raised his eyebrows at Tony.
Tony had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
Tony: "Alright, alright, I admit it—you win, okay?"
Happy laughed even more mischievously.
Although Tony admitted that Happy was right, he initially found the video's title strange.
Why was I so angry?
Now, let's look at what the video actually showed.
At most, it was the bald bodyguard making some shady deal in private.
Though harmful to society, honestly…
What did this have to do with Stark Industries?
So why would I still be angry later?
Could it be…
Happy might discover that the bald bodyguard, while flirting with young female colleagues in the afternoon, was secretly conducting shady business inside the company?
If that were true, Tony would have every reason to be angry.
However…
What exactly happened?
Let's watch the video.
Suddenly…
Happy realized he was no longer alone; the man in the blue shirt who had just completed the deal was now in front of him.
Now is not the time to laugh.
Happy quickly suppressed his grin and looked up at the man in blue to see if he had noticed his earlier actions.
At this moment, the man in blue happened to look up.
They locked eyes.
Happy's heart skipped a beat.
Not because the man in blue was staring at him, but…
Because he could see it clearly!
A red light flashed from the man in blue's eyes, running down to his neck!
This is… strange!
"Holy—holy!"
"Tony, did you see that?"
"The man in the blue shirt—his face is glowing red!!!"
Happy and Tony clasped hands, clearly thrilled.
This was unusual.
After all, a healthy person suddenly glowing red on the face—how could that not be strange?
Tony was just as shocked.
Though he had seen people with other colors on their bodies before—like the Hulk, who was entirely green in the video—he wasn't unfamiliar with it.
But a completely normal-looking man, suddenly radiating red light from his face…
It still seemed extremely odd.
What on earth was happening???
[Happy sensed something was very wrong.]
After picking up a metal fragment that had fallen from the suitcase, he quickly got up to leave.
Bad luck, I bumped into someone.
It turned out to be the bald bodyguard!!!
Seeing Happy suddenly appear, the bald bodyguard wore a playful smile.
Bald Bodyguard: "Hey, buddy, how's it going? Out alone? On a date? Going to see your favorite romance movie?"
[Happy felt uneasy.]
He knew appearing here so abruptly was risky.
Now he looks like he's following the bald bodyguard.
Yet Happy stubbornly answered.
Happy: "Yes, this is a short film called 'The Party's Over.'"
He pointed at the man in blue.
Happy: "The stars of this movie? You… and your drug-addicted girlfriend."
He pulled out the metal fragment he had taken earlier.
Happy: "This is your movie ticket!"
Seeing the fragment in Happy's hand, the bald bodyguard's smile vanished.
Bald Bodyguard: "Don't joke! That's not yours!"
He reached for Happy's hand to take it back.
[Happy quickly put away his gun and punched the bald bodyguard in the face.]
[He had been waiting for this opportunity.]
The expected scream did not come.
Instead, Happy saw the bald bodyguard casually moving his lips with his tongue, seemingly unimpressed.
Then…
[Happy was horrified to see the bald bodyguard's face completely unharmed despite being hit by the punch, glowing red.]
Shocked, Happy swung another punch.
[The bald bodyguard effortlessly caught Happy's punch and threw him into the air.]
Happy flew more than ten meters, crashing through a store's glass window before landing.
Onlookers screamed and ran.
The man in blue, who had been packing his suitcase, seemed unable to bear it any longer.
He sucked the metal fragment into his mouth.
The red glow on the man in blue intensified.
It spread beyond his face, covering his entire body.
[The man in blue panicked and cried out to the bald bodyguard.]
Man in Blue: "Savannah! Help me! Save me!"
The bald bodyguard, who had earlier seemed careless, now looked terrified.
He glanced at the glowing man and ran off without looking back.
[Happy, sprawled on the ground, also noticed the abnormality.]
But his body ached from being thrown, and he had no chance to escape. He hid behind a mobile stall, hoping to survive.
Yet…
A massive explosion erupted.
The man in blue exploded, his body engulfed in red flames within three seconds!
The shockwave disabled over a dozen cars.
Only smoke remained on the street.
[Happy lay bloodied and barely conscious.]
The force of the explosion was astonishing.
As Happy looked around the scorched ground, he tried to stand…
Suddenly!
He witnessed something jaw-dropping.
A man, radiating red light, stood up!
The bald bodyguard wasn't dead!!!
His legs looked broken, yet under the red light, they regenerated like molten rock!
[The bald bodyguard even chewed gum leisurely as he strolled down the street.]
[Happy watched in disbelief.]
Then…
(That hand still raised in the air…)
