1141 If you want someone to stop disasters for you, you must have a great favor
He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for nearly an hour. Seeing that he didn't speak, and no one sitting there spoke, William pretended to wake up, yawned and said to Richard, who was most familiar to him and was a few seats away,
"Richard, give me a cigar."
Richard, who had never seen William in the habit of smoking cigars, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, found cigar pliers and cut off the cigar cap.
He also used a special lighter to burn the cigar several times, then lit it in his hand, then came back with a smile like a follower and placed it between William's raised fingers.
"Flattery".
Seeing Richard flattering William so shamelessly, all the shareholders secretly cursed, but honestly speaking, at least 5 of the nine shareholders were willing to do this.
Even Obadiah felt that if William didn't care about Tony Stark's affairs, even if he was asked to kneel at William's feet, he would be willing to do so at this time.
Of course, this is at this time, but if Obadiah does kneel down, it will be impossible to stand up in the future.
"Thank you, man." After nodding his thanks to Richard, William took a puff of his cigar and then took a sip of beer that obviously didn't taste like the cigar.
He said complainingly, "You Americans are troublesome. I just helped you find four nuclear eggs hidden in three cities: Los Angeles, New York and Dallas.
I finally wanted to go back home to London and rest for a while, but that bastard Tony Stark actually ran to the desert to die. Now, the super rich man worth 90 billion was actually kidnapped.
If this matter cannot be resolved perfectly, the world's richest people will be implicated, and powerful bodyguards may not be so easy to hire in the future."
"Wait a minute, William." Richard, who had just sat down, stood up immediately in fright and asked tremblingly, "Body, let's not talk about bodyguards and not bodyguards. It's true that nuclear eggs were planted in New York and Los Angeles.
?”
As soon as he heard that Richard didn't ask Dallas, William knew in his heart that these people had always only cared about their own interests, and they didn't care about the life or death of others.
However, I seem to be about the same.
He would help Americans find nuclear eggs because his interests were wider than theirs. He curled his lips and said, "That's not true. Can you receive the news?"
"Hell, let me tell you, ten hours ago, why were you willing to send a new woman to Hawaii? Man, you are not kind." Richard looked at William resentfully and said, "You didn't inform us of such an important matter in advance.
"One sound".
What kind of look is that from nm? Even if he looks at him with anger, it is easier for William to accept it than this look.
"I am in a nuclear crisis in New York, why should I inform you?" William chuckled, "I can't take risks outside. You bastards can hide and watch from a distance."
fk.
asshole.
A group of people cursed in their hearts for a moment, but then they thought about an hour ago, when William had forced them not to take the opportunity to acquire shares of Stark Group.
Although they didn't even talk about selling their shares, they didn't dare to get out at this time.
On the one hand, one knows whether the person selling the shares will be suspected, and on the other hand, these people are actually already thinking in their hearts, if Tony Stark is gone, will it be better for the Stark Group?
After all, after seeing the skills revealed by William the night before yesterday, in these people's minds, ten Tony Starks are not as good as half William.
Obadiah's expression tightened and he suddenly said, "Do you think Tony's incident has something to do with this?"
"This,,", the conference room suddenly became noisy, and the nine people chattered for a long time, and then uniformly focused their attention on William.
William shrugged and said, "Don't ask me, although the nuclear egg crisis has been solved, finding the mastermind behind the scenes is your American problem. I don't want to do everything by myself and let organizations like FB1 secretly hate me.
I".
"However, if the four nuclear eggs explode, then the most versatile arms man in the United States will probably be that bastard Stark."
"fk,fk".
William's nonsense instantly made everyone angry.
Before, they were still thinking about whether Stark would come back and that there was a better choice like William. Of course, these people would hesitate and wait.
But now I heard that someone wanted to take them all away, and even planned to burn the house and the people together after robbing them. How can this be accepted?
After scolding for dozens of seconds, someone took out their cell phones and started calling various connections.
In short, whether Stark can be saved or not is secondary. These people have to let the rich and conglomerates across the United States know that someone in the desert has put into action the idea of killing them.
If they don't strike back with a thunderous blow, any desert ruffian will try to attack them in the future.
William smiled, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the conference room. He smoked a cigar and looked at the Las Vegas night. He thought that by messing with him like this, the mastermind behind the nuclear egg crisis should relax a lot.
Bar?
If this group of people only intends to make money and other benefits, William won't care, but if they really want to detonate nuclear eggs, they will be enemies of the people in the world who want to live a stable life.
As for whether these shareholders' efforts to participate will make it more difficult to rescue Stark because of their excessive talk, or even make Stark more dangerous, William doesn't care at all.
However, Obadiah's face showed a look of joy and worry again.
Everything has two sides. It is indeed easier to find Stark if there are more people to rescue, but this will also make Stark's kidnapper more worried. If it is not possible, they will kill Stark sooner.
Of course, Obadiah's mission for the desert tribe must be to kill Stark directly, but he also knew in his heart that these people would not be able to kill people so easily before draining Stark's skills, otherwise the body would have been long gone.
found it.
As for William, with Asgard's Heimdall watching over him, as long as Stark wasn't about to die, he didn't need to pay attention.
"Mr. Devonshire, thank you."
No need to guess William, he knew that Pepper was thanking him for mobilizing all the shareholders.
Without looking back, he asked in a low voice, "Who else knows about Stark going to the desert except Happy?"
Pepper thought for a while and said, "It should be just me, Happy, Obadiah and Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes who accompanied Tony to the desert base."
"Are you sure you trust Happy".
"Of course," Pepper thought for a moment before continuing, "I just asked Jarvis to check Happy's parents and girlfriend, and they are all staying well in Los Angeles.
And there is no sign of it disappearing for a period of time in the past year or two. Apart from some minor mistakes, there have been no large fund transactions in the bank account.
On the contrary, because I have been with Tony all the time, I don't have to spend any money on food, drink, or anything on my own, and I have actually saved nearly four million US dollars in cash over the years.
This kind of person who owns two houses and has no loans, but has a large amount of savings and a decent job is definitely not among the middle class in the United States, but there is absolutely no less. How could he betray Tony?"
"Yeah," William responded in a low voice, "Then tell Happy that I will secretly transport 200 million US dollars in cash to the desert.
Let him go to the desert, find those hyenas who will do anything for money, and secretly inquire about Stark.
Any piece of useful information is worth five million dollars. If anyone can directly find out where Stark is being held, all the $100 million in cash will be his.
And as long as the information is confirmed, the money can be paid to them on the spot, or it can be gold, jewelry, or a secret account in Switzerland."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." When Little Pepper heard this, her face suddenly turned red with excitement.
Money is not everything, but for mercenaries and intelligence traffickers, money is everything.
"Don't be too happy, Pepper." William turned around and said with a smile, "When that bastard Stark is rescued, tell him how much money I spent today, and he will pay me back ten times."
Hearing William say this, Pepper felt even more relieved. Although the doubts in his heart were still there, they were no longer as stubborn as before.
"No, no problem, Mr. Devonshire, even if you want more shares of the Stark Group, as long as Tony can come back, Tony will definitely support you because of the friendship that has witnessed this crisis."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case," William shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not very interested in the Stark Group. I can implement whatever project I have, and the money I can earn is no more than 10% of the Stark Group.
Few shares”.
Pepper looked at William doubtfully, hesitated for a while and then asked in a low voice, "Then why are you...".
"Hey, do you think that after this incident, Stark will see through some things like me and focus on protecting the world?"
"How is this possible?" Pepper shook his head repeatedly, "Tony,".
Pepper, who wanted to say that Stark was selfish, quickly stopped and said, "Ying, there should be some changes."
William laughed and said nonsensically, "The United States has too many troubles. I have wasted too much time and energy helping out these years. After this bastard Stark comes back alive, he will definitely learn from me and research on super mechas for safety."
.
As for people like Stark and I, we have no shortage of money, no shortage of women, and no shortage of status. Once we have abilities and means that surpass ordinary people, even if we can hold back for a while, in the end we can't help but do it for fame.
And embark on the road to be respected by the whole people."
These words made Pepper think of William's solution to the nuclear egg crisis, and a look of gratitude and admiration appeared on his face.
But when she thought of Stark, her heart tightened again, "But since you said you have nothing to pursue except fame, then why did you bring Tony in and share your honor?"
William shrugged, of course thinking that Stark might be able to die without hesitation to prevent himself from disaster like in the movie.
As for Obadiah, forget it.
"This world is not as safe as you think. Super villains, aliens, and even mythical devils, devils, and monsters have never given up the idea and action of entering this world.
Moreover, I have been a volunteer Superman for eight years, Pepper. Eight years is enough time for me to want to take a rest. Of course, I have to find someone to share the responsibility of the United States.
At least if Stark puts on the steel armor, those human villains, or the nuclear egg crisis, can be left to him."
Devils, demons, etc. are still too far away for Little Pepper. Without a specific reference, he is just frightened. It’s hard to say how scared he is.
But the nuclear egg crisis is different, "Oh, Tony can really take on such a big responsibility?"
"Who knows?" William smiled, "You will know when he comes back."
"But, I hope", just as Little Pepper finished speaking, William suddenly chuckled and said, "Obaday is out."
When Little Pepper looked back, she saw Obadiah walking out of the conference room with an angry look on his face. Then he heard Li Cha loudly cursing that all the official guests in the United States were white-eyed wolves.
From now on, they must increase their efforts to support their own people, so as not to have to ask for help only to be pushed around when something goes wrong.
Little Pepper immediately thought that this was due to pushback, or simply that Akari was very close to the Stark Group, but in fact she was thinking about their official business going bankrupt.
But before she could finish thinking, William said, "You have permission to use Jarvis, but what about Obaday?"
Pepper said in confusion, "Tony only gave Obaday free access to the Malibu beach villa in Los Angeles and the Long Island estate in New York. For the rest, even I could only get the help of Jarvis."
"Since your authority is higher than that of Obadiah, let Jarvis keep an eye on Obadiah and see what he does when he goes out."
"What do you mean?" Little Pepper was shocked, but she actually understood the reason.
She, Happy, Obadie and Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes were the only four people who knew about Stark going to the desert. Since Happy had her guarantee, it was normal for William to suspect that he was sleeping with Obadie and Rhodes.
What puzzled her was that normally, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes had just hung up Happy's inquiry call. In addition, Obadie seemed to have a closer relationship than Rhodes and Stark. Shouldn't he be more suspicious of Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes?
William glanced at Pepper and said with a smile, "You should know that I have Sunday, so you checked Happy, and Sunday not only checked Happy, but also checked you, Rhodes, and Oppa
generation".
Pepper understood instantly and asked nervously, "What did you find on Obadiah? Mr. Devonshire."
William shrugged, "There are some things I can't tell you, because they also involve some of my secrets."
Pepper's heart tightened, and an unknown premonition appeared in her mind. Will William have collaborated with Obaday in private?
Fortunately, just when her forehead was sweating, William smiled again and said, "I am a businessman and a scientist. I care about interests but also value creation and invention.
In my eyes, ten managers like Obadie can never compare to one Stark who can create wealth.
And Stark should be glad that I'm not an American. The English can't control the Stark Group, right, Pepper."
"Huh," Little Pepper breathed a sigh of relief. William's words were more convincing than the previous words about asking for help, "I'll do it right away, Mr. Devonshire."
Not long after Pepper left, Richard came over with two bottles of Budweiser, handed one to William and whispered, "William, do you know something? Or have you found something?"
