Chapter 541 When is the time for retribution (Part 2)
As night fell, the soft click of the second hand echoed throughout the Hell's Kitchen clinic. On the dial, the hour hand had already turned to nine o'clock.
At this time, Schiller had already gone to bed, and only Peter and Pikachu were still playing games in the living room.
Suddenly, Peter exclaimed, startling Pikachu next to him. With a shake of his hand, the little man on the screen fell into the lava. Pikachu turned to look at Peter and asked, "What's wrong?"
Peter turned his head and looked at the dial of the clock next to him and said, "It's nine o'clock, I have to go up and go to bed!"
Pikachu looked at Peter with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly and said: "Are you going to bed at nine o'clock? Are you really Peter Parker? Are you being controlled by Schiller?"
??”
"No." Peter threw down the controller with some reluctance and said, "Today, Mr. Stark repeatedly emphasized to me that I should go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening. You see, just now, he sent me a text message.
, asked me if I was already lying on the bed and ready to sleep..."
Peter handed the phone to Pikachu, and Pikachu saw that there was indeed a message from Stark on the text message interface of his phone. Pikachu shook his head and said, "It seems that he feels that you lack fatherly love."
Peter sighed and looked back at the game console three times step by step, but finally went upstairs to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Peter turned over and slowly became sleepy. Originally, he was worried that he might not be able to sleep at such an early hour, but soon, he fell asleep.
When Peter opened his eyes again, he was faced with the gazes of Stark and Charles, both of whom had expressions of "Baby, Dad is very disappointed in you."
"You didn't go to bed on time." Stark spoke first. Peter hadn't figured out what was going on, but he instinctively explained: "No, at nine o'clock, I had already put down the controller, but I
My room is upstairs, so..."
"So, your performance today was pretty good?"
"Of course, I have never gone to bed so early in my life. Normally, it would be 12 o'clock at the earliest..." Facing Stark's death gaze, Peter's voice became smaller and smaller.
Then, he finally began to look at the surrounding environment. This was a very spacious conference room, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a city full of science fiction that didn't look like the earth.
Peter was very smart and reacted immediately. He said, "Am I dreaming? Professor Charles, did you pull me here?"
"Yes, you are very smart, kid. If you play less games, your brain will be smarter." Charles walked towards the conference table in the center of the room, but Peter caught up with him a little anxiously. He said:
"Wait a minute! Professor! You have to let me go back. I need to control my body so that he can lie there well, otherwise..."
Charles walked straight forward, and Peter looked at Stark anxiously and said, "Mr. Stark, I told you, my body has strange instincts, and if it is out of my control, it may...
"
Before he could finish speaking, Stark stretched out his hand, hugged Peter, and said seriously: "You are already late, everyone is waiting for you."
"Peter, you are not young anymore, and you have to understand some things in the workplace. It is rude to let your colleagues waste time waiting for you because of your personal reasons."...
"Besides, those instincts may just be your imagination. Relax, nothing will happen..."
Peter didn't see Stark's triumphant smile. He opened his mouth and felt that he couldn't escape. After a long time, he could only say dejectedly: "Okay, I hope my bed is stronger."
A few people walked over, and many people were already sitting at the conference table, including Mark, who was still a little confused, and Natasha, who was already smoking proficiently.
Stark walked to the table, looked around, and said:
"Presumably, everyone here has been involved in an incident recently, and the culprit of this incident is Schiller."
"'One thing' is not quite accurate," Steve said.
"The culprit is not quite accurate either," Natasha said.
Stark's held breath was released. He hammered the table and said, "Okay, let's get right to the point."
"Just yesterday, because of some of Schiller's actions, members of Congress almost burst into tears and elevated me to the position of head of the solar system construction plan."
When it came to this, Stark felt very helpless. He also asked several people, and finally asked Natasha, and finally figured out what Schiller had done.
To put it simply, Schiller let a ghost named Xun Zong float in the sky above the Avengers base, and subsidized Xun Duoduo with tens of billions, and everyone had a share of the medal.
It is very reasonable to give one to Natasha first. After all, she is an agent of the Soviet Union and has meritorious service. It is also reasonable to give one to Captain America. Steve is also a World War II hero who once fought against Mustache's troops. As for Xi
Confining yourself and Mark is actually just adding to the problem.
Parliamentarians, especially older ones, were almost hopelessly allergic to red, and Schiller wanted to make them feel like they were surrounded.
Then, they will discover that these medal recipients have a common enemy, and that is Stark.
Natasha once sneaked into Stark's company to steal information. In the opinion of the congressmen, Stark would definitely not have a good impression of her. The relationship between the two of them was not very good.
According to investigations, the relationship between Iron Man and Captain America fell to a freezing point before. The two even fought several times, almost triggering a civil war in the Avengers. Therefore, the relationship between the two of them is not good either.
Needless to say, Schiller, in the meeting on the Superhero Registration Act, he and Stark faced each other, one on the left and the other on the right. If Stark and Schiller were on the same front, why did Stark do it in the first place?
Jump out to refute him? It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is not very good.
And Mark, who was the last to receive the medal, had a fight with Stark on the spot in the sky over New York. Although this was entirely the result of Schiller colluding with Consue and then colluding with Director Jack, the fight was really fought, and the entire New York City
Everyone has seen it, and their relationship must be very bad.
If you dig a little deeper, Stark's father Howard once cooperated with a Soviet scientist, but the two of them had fallen out. Even the son of the Soviet scientist had approached Stark and wanted to
Want revenge.
All this evidence taken together shows that Stark can be called an enemy of the Soviet Union...
From the perspective of the congressmen, Stark has been surrounded by communist elements headed by Schiller and can only struggle to hold on. It can be said that he is a small boat that keeps rocking under the red tide.
And in this case, he hasn't compromised yet, what is this?!
This is the street lamp decoration in Stalingrad, the nail on the Kremlin flagpole, the first choice of the father's sacrificial flag, the soul mate of the ancestor, the far right, the far right of the universe, the lone exploiter, the chosen capitalist - Tony Si
Tucker!
As a result, Stark, who was supposed to play a left-leaning role in the major registration law incident, was kicked into the far-right camp, and was pushed into the most important position by the crying and shouting group of congressmen.
Even putting aside Stark's relationship with everyone, the congressmen didn't know that Stark had become the Iron Demon and transcended the perspective of the single universe. In their view, it was impossible for a person to betray his own class.
Grams is a capitalist who made his fortune by selling arms. This fact is eternal and unchangeable.
They believe that Stark is still subject to the capital of the Stark Group, which will make him unable to accept all ideas that demand fairness. This is the reason why they dare to spend so much money to promote Stark.
In addition to letting him get the position of the person in charge of the solar system construction plan, Iron Man's reputation improved rapidly at the same time. As a result of the vigorous public opinion war, Iron Man has become the Iron Patriot, replacing Captain America and becoming the American spirit.
new benchmark.
If it were in the past, when Iron Man heard the news, he would immediately put on his suit and go for a few laps over New York, accept people's applause, and then let reporters take some cool photos of his new suit, and then print them out and give them to Pepper.
show off,
But now, Stark just feels ridiculous and disgusting, because he knows that behind all the applause and flowers are a group of idiots who only focus on the dregs of mankind.
No smart person will be happy for the applause of a group of stupid idiots. Instead, they will only feel that their approval is like saying "you are just as stupid as us."
Thinking of this, Stark at the conference table sighed deeply. He suppressed the emotion of gritting his teeth, showed a fake smile, and then said: "I can sit in this position, I must thank one person, and that is Xi
Well, for this, I must return the favor to him."
"Then why do you want Luo Ji to defect? What on earth are you going to do?" Strange asked.
"After yesterday's vote at the United Nations, the road to uniting countries has been basically determined. However, it is obvious that many people still focus on internal fighting. This is the bad nature of human beings and cannot be changed in a day or two, but I
We plan to speed up this process." Stark's face returned to seriousness, and he continued:
"Schiller gave them some pressure, but it was still not enough. Civilizations inside the earth always know themselves and their enemies. Even if they exceed it, it will not exceed it too much. Although the Soviet Union is strong, it is not excessive."
"So we have to put some absolute pressure on these idiots who can't figure it out, pressure from outside the Earth."
Charles touched his chin and said: "So, this is related to Luo Ji's defection, right?"...
"I made a deal with that... princess. She will bring some suitable external enemies to the earth. At the same time, she will use Asgard as a backing to give human civilization the opportunity to train its troops."
"Then what do you need to pay?" Strange asked.
"A favor of mine," Stark replied.
Just as Steve was about to ask, Strange followed Stark's train of thought and said, "Indeed, this deal is fairly fair."
"As far as I know, the change of power in Asgard is not completely without impact. The rule of some parts of the nine kingdoms has begun to become unstable. At the same time, the objects of their competition are the most developed civilizations in the interstellar world.
It’s good to be at the level of a single universe, and you can be promoted to a multi-dimensional powerhouse at any time, so there is no harm to them.”
"Besides, there is Ragnarok." Stark crossed his arms and said, "Of course, I can't sacrifice myself to prevent them from disaster, but if necessary, I can help human civilization.
benefit."
"In addition..." Stark added: "Once a foreign enemy arrives, all countries will definitely focus all their attention on the foreign enemy. They will concentrate all their efforts to protect themselves and their positions."
"At this time, it doesn't matter which position Schiller is on. As long as he is a human being, he can be helpful. In this way, he will not be stared at by those messy agents every day. Even if I return his favor,
.”
At this time, in the thick darkness of Hell's Kitchen, the sleeping Schiller turned over. What he didn't see was that a wandering figure suddenly walked into the dark bedroom.
At this time, in the bedroom of the space carrier, Natasha, who had left the dream meeting early because she wanted to smoke, glanced out of the window out of habit.
"boom!
!
!”
Natasha opened her mouth wide and looked at the roof that was thrown high and appeared outside the window. When it was thrown to the highest point, it paused for a moment, and then fell down with a "sleep".
Then there was another "bang", and Natasha looked up again, looking in shock at a bed that appeared outside the window, and Schiller, who was still sleeping above the bed, clutching the quilt, and his eyes widened.
