As for whether Tony will become Iron Man in the future, that's none of his business.
As soon as he gets the Endosymbiotic Armor, Tony can become Iron Man.
Even if he gave up science and switched to magic, and then competed with Dr. Strange for the position of Supreme Mage, Russell would not bother to pay attention to him.
After preparing to go to Afghanistan, Russell did not forget to ask the Continental Hotel to investigate Tony's intelligence.
Continental Hotel.
Charon, in a neat suit, stood at the front desk, frowning as he listened to the call from Russell.
"Mr. Bradley, may I ask, what do you want his information for?"
"Personal reasons, inconvenient."
Russell would not tell Charon his true purpose.
"Mr. Bradley, this is no small matter. I hope you can seriously consider it."
"Why don't you contact Mr. Winston first?"
When Russell asked him to contact the Afghan Continental Hotel just now, Charon didn't think there was any problem.
Ordinary people in Afghanistan are a little poorer, but there are many rich people there. It is normal for Russell to receive commissions from Afghanistan.
However, when he called for the second time and asked for the latest information on Tony Stark, Charon realized something was wrong.
Afghanistan…Stark…
Charon immediately thought of the news that Stark Industries was going to sell Jericho missiles to the US military base in Afghanistan.
As a behemoth that integrates the world of killers, the Continental Hotel often deals with Stark Industries.
Although the hotel cannot use Stark Industries' large weapons, such as Jericho missiles and the like.
But the individual weapons produced by Stark Industries are deeply loved by many killers.
There are basically no disadvantages except that it is a bit expensive.
Under normal circumstances, killer groups like the Continental Hotel are unable to purchase weapons produced by Stark Industries.
But if there is demand, there will be a market.
It is not difficult to purchase Stark Industries weapons on the black market.
Charon asked Russell to contact the hotel manager Winston. It wasn't that he didn't have enough authority to get Tony's information, but that Tony's identity was a bit troublesome.
Although Tony has not yet become Iron Man, he is the largest weapons supplier to the military and the most famous arms dealer and weapons inventor in the world.
Among the many capital forces in the United States, arms dealers have always been at the forefront.
And Tony Stark is one of the top arms dealers.
If Russell killed Tony Stark, Charon didn't know whether the High Table could withstand the consequences.
But he was certain that the Continental Hotel in New York would never be able to bear it.
It would be fine if Russell was just a lone killer. The problem is, he is not a lone killer, he is a hired killer of the Continental Hotel.
"I'm not going to kill Stark. You don't have to worry about me bringing trouble to the hotel."
Even though he said this, Charon still didn't believe it.
"If you don't want to give it, forget it. I'll find someone else."
After saying that, Russell hung up the phone.
It was just convenient to go to Charon to get information about Stark. It didn't mean that he had no other channels besides the Continental Hotel.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
After all, he has been a killer for several years, and he has several private channels.
After hanging up the phone, Russell opened up the old computer he owned and logged into a forum on the dark web.
After finding the information dealer who he had cooperated with several times before, he handed over the request and deposit.
Stark Industries released news about selling Jericho missiles to US military bases in Afghanistan, but there was no specific delivery time.
Judging from the fact that the activation conditions for the reward have been turned on, the delivery time should be in the near future.
Although he has already booked a flight to Afghanistan tomorrow, this is just a precaution.
If Tony didn't go there so quickly, he didn't plan to go there so early.
Whether it's kidnapping Tony or rescuing him from the Ten Rings Gang, it doesn't take much time.
Just a day or two in advance is enough.
As soon as he transferred the deposit to the information dealer, his cell phone rang.
Winston called.
"I told you, I'm not going to kill Tony Stark!"
After pressing the button to connect, Russell said directly.
"I believe you are not going to kill Tony Stark. I called because a client named you to entrust you."
Winston said slowly.
"What commission?"
Russell didn't ask who the customer was.
Those who will be entrusted through the hotel are basically those who are unwilling to disclose their identities.
Otherwise, private entrustment is cheaper than hotel entrustment, at least there is no need to pay extra fees.
Although entrusting through a hotel is a bit more expensive, the advantage is that you don't need to contact the killer and your true identity will not be revealed.
"Kill Daredevil and get twenty million dollars."
"Not interested, don't answer!"
The remuneration of 20 million US dollars is not low, and Daredevil is not a particularly difficult target.
If it were normal times, Russell might have some interest.
But now, facing the reward of Endosymbiotic Armor, he is not interested in even 200 million US dollars, let alone 20 million US dollars.
After being rejected by Russell, Winston did not hang up the phone and continued: "The customer can increase the price. Can you tell me the number?"
"This is not a matter of remuneration. I'm not in the mood recently. Find someone else."
Russell didn't give Winston a chance to bargain and hung up the phone directly.
Although he didn't ask Winston who the customer was, after hearing that the target was Daredevil, he roughly guessed who the customer was.
For Winston to call and talk about this in person, the customer is definitely not an ordinary person.
He has a grudge against Daredevil and can be treated so seriously by Winston. Not surprisingly, this generous client is the famous underworld king Kingpin.
After hanging up the phone from Winston, Russell picked up the Maxim magazine on the table and admired the photos of female models in it.
This woman has a nice figure and can’t control it with just one hand!
This set of sexy underwear is a bit interesting, how to buy it is...
…
Time passes little by little.
More than two hours later, an intelligence dealer on the dark web sent a message.
What he asked the intelligence dealer to investigate was not any particularly confidential information, but whether Tony Stark was still in Los Angeles.
If he was there, he would have been monitoring Tony Stark until he left Los Angeles.
After opening the private message on the forum and taking a look at it, Russell couldn't help but cursed.
grass!
Tony Stark is not in Los Angeles right now.
To be precise, Tony left Los Angeles on his private plane three days ago.
Tony left Los Angeles three days ago, which meant that his plan to kidnap Tony in advance, or to prevent the Ten Rings Gang from kidnapping Tony, ended before it even started.
To prevent Tony from becoming Iron Man due to the kidnapping incident, there are only two options left.
Rescue Tony and Ethan before he builds the Mark 1.
