1180 Frightened Ross, Black-faced Stark (8,000 words completed)
Not long after Nick Fury and Coulson left, Stark's villa on the cliff became the focus of the media's round-the-clock attention.
After all, after the problem with the polar bear, the American who has been the boss for 20 years said that in the past few years, William has gone to the moon, Mars, and then he has done something about super armor.
While they are envious, it is impossible not to be jealous.
Now that I have someone who can compete with William, even if there is a lot of chaos in Stark Industrial Park and more than a dozen people die, if you include Obaday and his men, the number will be nearly twenty.
But this still can't stop the Americans' expectations and strong attention to Stark.
Even when U.S. officials dealt with this matter, they were not as decisive as before.
After all, when these American consortiums compete for technology and results, it depends on the level of their opponents.
Not only did he not get the delicious food, but he broke his teeth and had a mouth full of blood.
What's more, that's not the only thing I grabbed. Looking at the battle between Mark 3 and Iron Overlord, and the power of the reverse armor to pierce Iron Overlord with one shot,
The armor in Stark's hands is not even worthy of carrying William's shoes.
Spending such a high price to grab a third-rate armor with a tyrannosaurus staring at you from behind, no matter how delicious it is, you have to consider whether it is worth it.
If because of this incident, William was targeted and he joined forces with Stark, probably no one would be able to live in peace and contentment.
Of course, this is just the idea of a normal financial group. There is no shortage of madmen in the world, let alone people who are not afraid of death.
William's idea is not easy, but Stark's is too simple.
At least Alexander Pierce, who has resigned as the director of Serpent Shield, is thinking about Mark 3.
As for other shady forces, there are even more.
At the press conference the next day, Roddy, the US military representative who was responsible for contacting the Stark group in the past, reminded Stark in a low voice,
"I don't know if someone did it on purpose, but I got news that General Ross proposed entering the Stark Group to thoroughly investigate the death of Obadie."
Upon hearing this, Stark understood that any thorough investigation was fake, and he wanted to take the opportunity to find the Iron Overlord manufacturing technology.
But then he became suspicious.
If that's true, why hasn't there been any movement yet?
After all, the death of more than twenty people yesterday was definitely a godsend for some people.
Stark, who was confused, thought carefully for a while and then said, "Don't worry, everything about Iron Overlord was destroyed with the collapsed warehouse and Obaday himself.
If anyone wants to investigate, just let them investigate.”
For Stark, the only thing that needed to be kept secret was the small Ark reactor.
As for the Iron Overlord, in his eyes, it is trash. Some people want it, but they don’t have a suitable power system. Maybe it will delay some people’s anxious hearts.
He himself has more time to settle the matter this time.
And he doesn’t seem to be without help either.
William said it so seriously yesterday, as if if anyone dared to interfere in this matter, he would definitely do it.
Is it okay to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Stark instantly thought this was a good idea.
After Lieutenant Colonel Rody went out to announce some official statements, he immediately called William.
It has been several days since Angela took Laura and the Knights of Penance to the Asgard Barracks.
Seeing that there was nothing going on on Earth, William originally planned to go to Vanaheim for a visit.
But after being injured, Natasha, who didn't mention anything and dragged her to the gym three times in one night, was stumped.
Should she be given the land version of the gold-titanium alloy nano-armor, or the vibranium version?
After unexpectedly receiving a call from Stark, he instantly decided to build a vibranium version of the land suit.
The higher the combat power, the more she will have to be on the front line in the future. It is better to let Natasha be a summoner who is not afraid of fighting.
And with the Golden Stonewing Beast here, if this girl wants to escape, she can let Grom take her away.
He ordered Sunday to produce a set of armor according to Natasha's reminder before answering Stark's call.
He knew what Stark was planning without going into too much detail.
I said that yesterday, although I was really worried about the leakage of the small Ark reactor.
But William also had the idea of forcing Stark to kill Obadiah.
Now that Obadiah is dead, William himself wants to understand.
It would be strange for a person like Stark, who could only protect himself with a suit of armor, to hand over the means of saving his life when he almost died one after another.
He said on the phone with a smile, "If the Ark reactor leaks out, the only reason is you, because I don't use that thing anymore.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t tell you that once the Iron Overlord enters the American army, he will open the same armor to England, or even reverse it, do you understand?”
Listening to the beep beep on the phone, the worry in Stark's heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
But she didn't know that it was because of Natasha that William smiled and started doing various fitness exercises after hearing William give her the armor.
Stark looked at the hung up collection, cursed "fk" in a low voice, grabbed a handful of hair on his head,
Thinking about what exactly is the new energy source William has developed, and how much more advanced is it than the small Ark reactor, before he can dismiss it?
"Mr. Stark, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Pepper entered the lounge of the press conference, she saw Stark scratching his hair, his face full of depression and confusion, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although Coulson who followed her was equally curious, seeing that Stark had no intention of answering,
I could only take out a piece of paper and give it to Stark and say, "This is a perfunctory speech to the outside world. Just read it and read it."
Putting aside his doubts, Stark took the piece of paper and read it, and after a while he joked,
"There was a mole in the robotics project that Obadie and Rose collaborated on, and someone hacked him. Then he not only attacked Obadie, but almost killed Rose?"
After saying that, Stark looked helplessly at Colson, who looked like this, and Pepper, who was covering his mouth in surprise.
Continue reading, "In the end, my bodyguard drove the armor I developed, and not only saved General Ross, but also fought in the air with the Iron Overlord who had been hacked.
Worried that the Iron Overlord would crash and injure citizens, and be accidentally attacked and fall into the lake, he had no choice but to seek help from William, who was also a shareholder of the Stark Group.
Did you drive this reaction armor to destroy all the enemies?"
Stark looked at Coulson with a look on his face and said, "Does anyone believe this? And don't you stand out too much about William?"
"Not to mention other things, I was seen by dozens of people and several policemen at the lakeside."
Colson shrugged, "Believe me, I have dealt with too many such things. As long as you bite the bullet, that's it. After a few days, the matter will lose its popularity. The media will not pay attention to it, and neither will the Americans.
At that time, you will continue to be your super rich man, Americans will continue to live a peaceful life, and special institutions like us will be able to focus more on the things that should be paid attention to.
As for Mr. Devonshire?" Colson said helplessly, "Bringing him in can distract many people's attention, which will help the matter settle down as soon as possible."
"But will Ross agree?" Stark thought for a while before continuing, "I heard from my network that Ross plans to fully intervene in the investigation of Obadai's death.
Will he really remain silent instead of staring at me and asking me to hand over the technology of the steel armor?"
Coulson chuckled, remembering that when Nick Fury called Rose last night, the old guy, who was always known for his toughness, agreed to this argument without even retorting.
Not only that, Ross also intends to nail Obaday to the pillar of shame, making it impossible for people to connect Obadei and William.
And the dozen or so soldiers who followed him to meet Obadiah had already been put on a plane and disappeared into the vast sea on the pretext of sending them on a confidential mission.
Fury immediately guessed that Rose was trying to please William, but he only thought about it for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Things about demons must not be known to ordinary people, otherwise not to mention the chaos caused, there are many lunatics from the Hagui tribe in the United States.
If these people knew that demons really existed, who knows how much trouble they would cause.
When Coulson was confused at the time, after Fury hung up the phone, he remembered seeing William's unmatched power some time ago.
There is also the fear from the soul in Rose's eyes when he can directly control and order Freddy, the devil.
With a mocking expression on his lips, he said, "Don't worry, when it comes to William, he doesn't dare not agree.
The old man might even be worried that he would be silenced and hide in that secret base."
After saying this, Fury couldn't help but frown, thinking about the golden stone-winged beast mentioned by Ross.
Before Ross left, after being hit by multiple small missiles and at least thousands of heavy Gatling bullets, the member of the demon army was actually unscathed.
If thousands of these monsters appeared in any American base, would it be possible to clean up a base without any damage?
I didn't plan to tell Coulson at first, but when I thought about Coulson being the only confidant he had who had actually fought against demons,
He even risked his life to test out that the golden stone-winged beast was not afraid of the Holy Light and Holy Light rune bullets. Fury finally revealed that the golden stone-winged beast was not afraid of missiles.
Then give Coulson an order to collect as much data as possible when Natasha summons the Golden Stonewing Beast.
Coulson would not tell Stark these inside stories. He put away his smile and said with a helpless and painful expression,
"We promised you to help you solve this trouble, and we will definitely do it."
"What conditions did you agree to Ross?" Stark asked curiously, "And since he agreed to you, why did he still submit an application for a thorough investigation of Obadiah?"
"Sorry, what we discussed with General Ross needs to be kept confidential."
Thinking that SHIELD had not paid the price at all, Coulson couldn't help but grinned and gave a fairly reasonable reason and said perfunctorily,
"As to why Ross is doing contradictory things?
You have to know Mr. Stark, if Ross doesn't do this, how can he explain it to his superiors? After all, he really showed up at Stark Industrial Park yesterday.
And if we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, relevant departments and even soldiers would have stationed in Stark Industrial Park yesterday, and you yourself would have been invited to drink coffee by people from fb1."
Stark had thought of this kind of speculation just now. Now that he heard Coulson's explanation, he felt that the matter was not that simple.
But his biggest goal at this time has also been achieved. As long as the Stark Group survives this difficulty, what will happen in the future can only be solved through tricks.
Thinking of this, Stark couldn't help but wonder if he really had to help SHIELD solve some technical problems?
Anyone who pays for it will get something in return, as long as a normal person understands.
And if someone is indispensable, then maybe he can do whatever he wants until he is eliminated. At least there is some guarantee of safety, right?
"Thank you." Stark, who wanted to understand, took the rare opportunity to reach out and shake Coulson's hand, "In a few days, if I have time,
If you have any technical problems, you can come to my house to see me.
However, it is my choice to help you solve those problems."
"No problem, Mr. Stark, happy to work with you." Coulson reached out his hand casually, shook Stark's hand, nodded with Pepper, and left the lounge on his own initiative.
For agents like them, as long as they have a basis for cooperation, find the weaknesses in Stark's character, and respond in a targeted manner, it is not difficult to cooperate again.
With the help of Pepper, Stark put on a suit and watched the live broadcast on TV with a smile.
"Do you think Iron Man sounds better, or...".
Before Stark could finish speaking, he saw a reporter on the TV shouting to Rody who was speaking, "We want to see the copycat, not you."
Stark's face turned dark and he put away his smile. He walked out of the lounge dejectedly and shook hands with Roddy who was standing by the podium.
I was hesitating whether to read according to Coulson's manuscript, lest I really be regarded as a copycat,
I was really offended by a reporter who could tell from his accent that he was from England.
"Mr. Stark, we all know that the super armor was built by Mr. Devon Hill a few years ago.
Now your Stark group is not only blatantly imitating them, but is even so shameless that they are more than 90% similar in appearance. Do you have any explanation for this?"
Stark, who was already dark-faced, couldn't help but become even darker.
Fortunately, there was no need for him to come forward. Among the nearly 100 reporters present, more than half of the American reporters made a noise and rebutted.
"Damn England, who said we imitated it? To be honest, it's shameless. Didn't William Devonshire steal the Stark Group's Ark reactor technology to develop a miniaturized reactor?"
Even though many European countries are allies with the United States, there are also countless conflicts within these people.
Coupled with other journalists who had long disliked the United States, had hatred and conflicts, the scene was filled with quarrels in an instant.
"Boom, boom, boom", Rody reached out and patted the microphone more than a dozen times. After the reporters became quieter, he said,
"Sorry, Mr. Stark will not answer any questions at today's press conference. If you have any questions, you can talk to me later."
Now among the American reporters, some of them were interested in the news and no longer cared about whether Stark was their pride.
Talking about a thousand for ten thousand, there are really not many Americans who are struggling with their jobs and US dollars for the sake of Stark, a super rich man.
"Who wants to listen to you? We want Stark to tell the truth himself. Otherwise, you can just give me a copy of your speech and then we can go back to the company and resume work."
"In other words, the Stark Group really copied England's technology as rumored by the outside world."
