1140 I can't take advantage of it, so don't try to take advantage of it
"Stark under attack?"
William, who knew this was going to happen, deliberately asked the question in a flustered manner, and Abigail quickly said, "First answer the phone to find out what the specific situation is."
She is not nervous about Stark, and in her eyes, Stark is ten times worse than William. She becomes anxious, just because the stock price of Stark Group has tripled in recent years, and Tony's contribution is indeed quite large.
As soon as the call was connected, Pepper's anxious voice was heard, "Mr. Devonshire, are you still in the United States? Mr. Obadiah asked me to inform you to attend the company's board of directors immediately to discuss the plan to rescue Tony.
Tony, Tony was attacked in the desert, and now he doesn’t know whether he is alive or dead. Mr. Devonshire, please save Tony."
Listening to Little Pepper saying "Tony" to the left and "Tony" to the right in a hurry, William shook his head and said, "I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, William pretended to be serious and said to Abigail, "Help me apologize to my mother."
"Well, I will talk to the madam." Abi, who was holding William's neck, hesitated for a while, and then suddenly said, "If,,,".
"Okay, honey." He patted the round area behind Abigail, "I don't want to be said to be taking away people's property, and haven't you seen the news about holographic imaging?
You are already busy just opening up the market in England, I don’t want to take advantage of you.”
Abigail slapped William on the chest and said, "I never thought about taking away the Stark Group, I just think it's not that simple."
Without thinking about anything, William was sure that Abigail just wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Now he changed his mind just because William didn't agree.
"Of course this is not an easy matter," William chuckled, "As far as I know, not many people know about Stark's secret trip to the desert."
"Then, then you".
"What the hell", seeing Abi making random guesses, William couldn't help but slap her behind her several times, "I told you that this matter has nothing to do with me."
Abigail breathed a sigh of relief, but William immediately smiled and said, "I can probably guess who attacked that mouthpiece."
"You know?" Abi asked in surprise, "You know and you still watch this happen?"
"Okay, don't worry about this." He picked up Abigail and kissed her mouth a few times. "What I can guarantee is that I neither thought of seeking money or killing anyone, nor did I think of taking advantage of the situation."
, and it will not affect the reputation of the Devonshire family."
"That's good," Abigail nodded. Apart from finding girls to work out with from time to time, William was still very reliable in Abigail's heart.
After sending Abi back to the main building, William got on the spaceship and headed for Las Vegas.
The spaceship stopped outside the Caesars Hotel, and Pepper, who had an anxious face with faint traces of tears, came up to him with his equally worried bodyguard Happy.
Before the two of them could speak, William asked Happy, "Why aren't you with Stark?"
"I, I", Happy was speechless when asked.
As Stark's personal bodyguard, it would be a dereliction of duty not to stay with his employer.
Moreover, William asked this question as soon as he came up, which made Happy immediately jump with fear.
I secretly thought to myself, I wouldn't be so unlucky to be the subject of suspicion, would I?
But it seems that not many people know about Stark going to the desert.
Pepper showed the temperament of a great butler at this moment, shaking her head and saying to William, "Mr. Devonshire, yes, it was Tony himself who refused to let Happy follow.
I believe Happy will be fine. If it is convenient for you, please send someone to the desert area immediately to help find Tony."
Happy is fine, of course William knows that if he doesn't point this out, the fat man might be able to play a big role at the critical moment.
William nodded, "The manpower is ready. First tell me where Stark's accident happened?"
"Thank you, thank you." After saying thank you, Little Pepper was stunned, holding her hair with both hands and crying, "God, God, I, I don't know, they didn't tell me."
Pepper was just a personal assistant with little power at this time. William looked at Happy and said, "You don't know either?"
"I, I'll call Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes right now."
Happy panicked and quickly took out his cell phone to call Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, the future war machine who went to the desert with Stark.
As soon as the call was connected, Rhode's anxious voice came from the hands-free phone, "What's the matter, Happy?"
"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes and Mr. William Devonshire agreed to send someone to rescue Mr. Stark. We want to know where the boss's accident happened."
Rhodes, who was in the desert base, dispatching manpower to look for people, was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Tony is probably...".
"Beep, beep, beep." Happy looked at the busy phone and was stunned. His thoughts were racing and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still dialed again.
But this time the call just couldn't be reached.
Rhodes, who was far away in the desert area, looked at the base commander Loren Montero with an angry look on his face.
Commander Montero looked at Rhodes without fear and said, "Stand at attention, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes."
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this order, Rhodes instinctively puffed up his chest and put his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Montero explained, "Don't forget, according to what you said, apart from you and Obadiah, only this bodyguard named Happy knows about Tony coming to my place.
You don’t think that Obadiah, yourself, or anyone in my base wants to harm Tony.”
Rhodes was stunned. It was definitely impossible for him and Obadiah. Even if someone in the base provided information, it was impossible for that force in the desert to have the strength to send out a team to kill five bulletproof Humvees in less than an hour.
of fleet.
"But this is unlikely. Happy has been following Tony for almost ten years," Rhodes said, but he couldn't help but feel unsure.
Ten years, but even ten years, who can guarantee that the longer the bodyguard works, the more loyal he will be?
If this is the case, there won't be so many bloody things among the wealthy class.
Rhodes couldn't help but fell silent, and then thought of what Happy said, and said uncertainly, "William Devonshire agreed to help save people, do you think he also wants Tony to die?"
"The English guy?"
As soon as he heard Commander Montero's words, Rhodes knew that he had a problem with William and England.
Sure enough, the other party thought for a while and then shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether Tony's attack has anything to do with that English kid.
Do you really think he will sincerely rescue Tony?"
"I,,".
Rhodes didn't mean to argue at this point, but followed Montero's words and thought, once the news of Tony's accident was announced, would William take advantage of the sharp drop in stock prices to directly acquire Chaos with the huge amount of cash in his hands?
The Stark Group in a tangle?
But then he thought, even if William wanted to acquire it, would the U.S. government and military allow the country's largest arms company to be controlled by the English?
"It's impossible," Rhodes shook his head and said to Montero, "William Devonshire is so smart, and he has so many lawyers, he must understand that even if he can receive enough shares in the stock market, the application for the acquisition plan will not be submitted.
When we go up, it will definitely be rejected by the Guo Council.”
Commander Montero was stunned. Denying the acquisition was not a possibility, but a certainty.
"So, the people who attacked Tony probably wanted to attack Obadiah," Montero thought for a moment and said, "But why did these people attack Obadiah?"
The two of them couldn't help but become more worried. Rhodes was worried that someone was trying to mess up Stark Industries.
But Commander Montero was thinking, could it be that the people from that tribe in the desert area had serious differences with Obadie over arms sales that could not be exposed?
.........
At this time, after Happy called back five or six times but still couldn't get through, William covered his ears and pretended to say to Sunday, "Tell Kingsman's search team to launch a carpet search along the US army's desert base."
search,
After finding the clues, we immediately dispatch an action team and save people as our top priority. If we encounter anyone who resists or attacks them, we will kill them without mercy. I just want results."
"De..." When she heard the words "shoot to kill", Xiaojiao wanted to persuade her, but when the words came to her lips, she suppressed her words.
If something happens to your family or the most important person, you can still think about the life and death of others. This is probably the true Holy Mother.
The order was actually sent to Kingsman on Sunday, but after Harry, the person in charge of Kingsman, received the notice, he only thought for a few seconds and realized that his boss did not take this matter seriously.
Kingsman's only major actions were all without William personally calling him, and it is impossible for William not to know that finding people is not what Kingsman is good at.
That's what I thought, but the order still had to be given.
Half an hour later, two Kun-type spacecrafts flew to the desert area with two ten-man combat teams.
.......
Seeing that William had given the order, Xiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and took William to the conference room on the 18th floor of the hotel.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, they saw nine people sitting on chairs with sullen expressions and smoking cigars.
Seeing William walking in behind Little Pepper, the nine people immediately stood up.
Obadiah's face was full of worry, but he asked uneasily in his heart, "William, can you find Tony?"
"Two Kun-type spaceships have already brought twenty people to the battle. The search team went to the desert first to look for clues. As long as clues are found, I will arrange for more people to follow."
When everyone heard this, they showed relaxed expressions on their faces, but then they thought about the 'Kun-type spaceship'.
When Obadiah heard this, he immediately became uneasy.
Fortunately, William then said, "The only trouble is that once a battle breaks out in the desert area, I need you to tell the American media and officials to shut up on this matter."
Obadiah's heart moved and he said fiercely, "No problem, William, we will start the relationship and get ready.
Once someone goes against us on this matter, I promise to let them know how terrible it can be for arms dealers to be cornered."
William stared into Obadiah's eyes and could easily see the secret joy in his eyes. He nodded with Pepper and walked to the first seat on the left to sit down.
Looking at the other shareholders, he said, "I will try my best to save people, but judging from the feedback from the desert base,
They are still very worried about me and my men appearing in the desert area. You'd better use all the connections you can find to find it together."
"What's the meaning?"
William shrugged, "Ask Pepper and Happy, I'm not in the mood to talk about it."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Pepper and Happy standing aside.
Happy was not an idiot. During the time he walked from the hotel door to the conference room, he had already thought that he might be suspected.
The shareholders present may have been so anxious that they couldn't think of him because the incident happened only an hour ago.
But as time went by, his suspicions about him would only become more serious. After all, he himself said that Tony didn't let him follow him, but he couldn't prove it.
Could it be that there are three beautiful and outrageous private flight attendants on Stark's private plane?
However, Happy also knew that if he didn't tell, these shareholders could guess or find out. Instead of being forced to ask questions later, it would be better to tell him now, so that at least he could have a clear conscience.
After listening to Happy's statement, everyone frowned. Some people suspected that they didn't say anything, but not everyone could hold back. However, after a series of accusations and questioning that sounded like an interrogation, there was nothing they could do about Happy.
Are they brazenly imprisoning people? They are not privileged people like William who control Kingsman.
In the end, Happy could only be relieved of all his duties and strictly ordered to stay in Los Angeles.
As soon as Happy left, Obadiah and the other nine people looked at William.
William shrugged, "Don't look at me. I've now discovered that besides saving people, it's best to talk less, let alone take the opportunity to acquire shares in the stock market. Otherwise, it would be great if Tony can come back, but if he can't come back,"
After saying that, William glanced around the crowd. Seeing the different expressions of these guys, he said softly, "I can't take advantage, so I'm sorry. If I find anyone taking advantage of the stock market, I promise to keep an eye on them from now on."
Hold him".
"You..." The speaker just said "you" and reacted instantly. Even if he had thoughts in his heart, he couldn't show it. "You are right, William. I am the first to agree. Whoever wants to take advantage of the situation is us.
Enemy of all”.
"Thank you." William smiled and nodded to the other party, looking at the other eight old foxes who didn't know what they were thinking. "Since you don't speak, I will assume that you all agree without getting the exact information from Tony Stark.
Currently, the company proposes to maintain its status quo”.
"Agree", "agree", no matter what everyone here thinks, they can only nod in agreement at this time.
To be targeted by William, unless you are engaged in something that has nothing to do with technology, otherwise you are waiting for your family business to be destroyed by someone like William who is rich and smart enough to make any technology industry tremble.
"Pepper, you are responsible for contacting the people in the US military." Seeing Pepper nodding, William looked around at the people sitting, "You all put pressure on the people in the US military. I want the kidnappers to put forward conditions.
Or the ransom will be known immediately.
It was not because of money that Stark, a super rich man worth nearly 90 billion U.S. dollars, died in the desert."
"No problem." Everyone here heard William talking about the super rich, and it was easy to reach a consensus on this point, except of course Obadiah.
After saying this, William stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, turned his back to the ten pairs of eyes looking at him and said, "You can discuss the rest of the matter, I will just listen."
I searched around in the wine cabinet, curled my lips, and finally picked up a bottle of Budweiser, drank a few sips, then sat on a chair and closed my eyes.
Everyone waited for a few minutes to make sure that William was not interested in talking anymore. Several people opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.
All he could do was sit in a chair and smoke a cigar and wait, but this made Obadeu, who wanted to do something secretly, so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.
