Manhattan is the most densely populated, smallest and wealthiest borough in New York City. This characteristic has resulted in it being dotted with high-rise buildings, as well as a large number of world-famous attractions and landmarks.
The "Stark Tower", which belongs to the "Stark Industries Group", is one of the best. It is 89 stories high. The main body is in the shape of a sharp right-angled triangle. Near the top, it boldly extends
There is an oval platform, with five huge turquoise letters of "STARK" inlaid on the edge of the platform, shining brightly in the sun.
On the top floor of this building, in the office of the chairman of Stark Industries, Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark, a middle-aged man with a frivolous and confident face, messy hair and a beautiful beard, wearing casual clothes.
The young man is watching the TV program on the wall with a slight smile.
On the huge screen, he was wearing a suit and leather tie and was facing the cameras of countless reporters at a press conference. He first frowned and looked at the paper in his hand, then showed an expression of "What the hell is this?", and then
He threw it away and raised his hand to hold the microphone in front of him.
“[Actually,]” he said: “[I am ‘Iron Man’.]”
The scene was in an uproar, with flashes of light and shutter sounds, and microphones held high kept popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
"Oh, look at that, this is really explosive news," Stark paused the TV triumphantly, looking at his confident and arrogant look: "The world's richest man personally dressed up as a vigilante to help ordinary people, if he can't do it for the first time
If this matter is reported as soon as possible, their boss will definitely let them pack up and leave. In this way, no one will care about 'Stark Industries shutting down the weapons department' or 'robot war center in Brooklyn'
Caused huge losses."
"[Clever approach, Mr. Stark,]" the voice of his smart butler came from the speaker next to him: "[But I must remind you that even now, Miss Potts is still working on
I've been running around dealing with the trouble caused by your decision to suddenly close the weapons department, and the bills haven't stopped coming in from Brooklyn.]"
The smart butler's voice is a typical British accent, slow, elegant and ups and downs. It sounds like an old-school gentleman wearing a top hat talking at an afternoon tea party while holding a cup of black tea.
"You can just say next time, I'm an ostrich with my head buried in the sand, J.A.R.V.I.S." Stark rolled his eyes at the ceiling.
"[I will remember it, sir.]" the smart butler replied.
"So, how is Uncle Obadiah's situation?" Stark knocked on the table, opened an electronic document and started
"[The situation is not optimistic, sir,]" Jarvis projected a picture of an intensive care unit on the wall: "[Director Obadiah Stane suffered multiple organ failure due to lack of oxygen and cold.
He fell into a deep coma before the fall, and then suffered a violent impact during the fall, causing multiple fractures, extensive soft tissue contusion, and concussion. He has not yet woken up, but his life is not in danger.]”
"How pitiful, tsk tsk," Stark shook his head and sighed: "Using backward rocket propulsion technology, who dares to fly higher than a Stark?"
"[Based on the conditions you set, I should remind you that your Mark II armor also fell down because it flew too high and was frozen.]" Jarvis said.
"Well said, Jarvis!" Stark snapped his fingers: "So, which of the Mark II design data I deliberately leaked in batches were applied to that stupid big black machine?
?”
"[All, sir.]"
"..."
After Stark snapped his fingers, his fingers froze in the air before he could take them back.
"[Based on the analysis of sequential behavior and communication records, only 23% of the employees involved in these leaks were disappointed with you and switched to Acting Director Oba, sir.]" Jarvis continued.
"Oh...really?" Stark silently retracted his finger: "Did the remaining people see that I wanted to deceive people and specifically cooperated?"
"[The rest are all after money, sir,]" Jarvis replied: "[After all, Acting Director Oba gave too much.]"
"..."
Stark tapped his forehead with his knuckles, trying to find a topic that would not embarrass him. Soon, he recalled a scene from his memory.
Facing the handsome Iron Man who defeated his powerful enemy, the two waitresses actually called themselves "bastards" in unison?
Tony Stark is not a fool. If he deliberately makes attention-grabbing actions with the purpose of getting close to him, he can see through it at a glance. Of course, if the lady who plays this trick is charming enough, he will
I don't mind pretending to be tricked to give her a chance.
But those two waitresses... they seemed to be really grieving for the ruined restaurant and the lost jobs, and therefore hated Iron Man as the instigator. Stark was very convinced that in such a few seconds, they
The response is definitely a true reaction from the heart.
This is not okay, everyone should love Iron Man, even if it is for money.
"Jarvis, who owns the restaurant that was destroyed after the 'Iron Overlord' was frozen and dropped? Did they ask for compensation? If so, buy that store. By the way, all personnel matters are prohibited.
change."
"[That is a franchise restaurant of the Italian chain restaurant brand 'Saizeriya', sir,]" Jarvis paused for two seconds, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "[But they did not send a compensation request.]"
"Its assets are so strong that it can just buy a restaurant and play with it?" Stark raised his eyebrows: "I thought only the Stark Group was qualified to do this."
"[No, sir,]" Jarvis responded: "[I just confirmed that within half an hour of the restaurant being destroyed in the aftermath of the fight between you and Director Obadiah, it had been purchased."
"
"Really? Who is this generous good Samaritan?"
"[The acquirer cannot be identified, sir,]" Jarvis replied: "[But you should have heard of the source of funds for the acquisition of the restaurant chain.]"
"Oh? Is it a group I know?"
"[It comes from the Clinton () area,]" Jarvis replied: "[I speculate that the local gang may be showing goodwill to you for some purpose.]"
"'Hell's Kitchen'..." Stark muttered to himself, then shook his head: "Keep this thing on file and remind me when relevant events happen. For now, pretend it didn't happen."
