was getting the help of Ivan Vanko for himself, and finally had a chance to surpass Tony Stark, and the complacent Justin Hammer, after hearing his sidekick Jack say the name, the happy expression on his face disappeared instantly, and the muscles under the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, which was caused by nervousness.
And the reason why it has these reactions after hearing this name is from half a month ago.
Half a month ago, Justin felt that this was the most unlucky time in his life, and he had always envied the target of jealousy and hatred, Tony Stark, who not only invented the cross-era weapon steel suit, but also became a superhero admired by everyone, under the light of Tony, and he felt that he was a clown who was ignored.
Then the Department of Defense asked himself to be the gunman, and at a hearing to be held in the near future, he said that Iron Man should not be a private person, forcing Tony to hand over the technology to the military or break his contract.
He himself would like to see Tony deflated, but this is not easy to say, the current private ownership and constitution of the United States make all his remarks can only be regarded as strong words, but if he does not do this, he will really be nothing without the favor of the military and the government, so he has to bite the bullet.
But that's not all, he fell in love with a super cool sports car parked on the side of the road, and saw that Hunter wanted to buy it, but he never thought that he would be humiliated by the owner of the car, the poor hillbilly who sold amulets, and laughed at him as a wretched creature who was trampled under the feet of Tony Stark.
And that's not all, the policemen who arrived later were obviously partial to the poor guy and violently drove him away. This made him, an arms dealer who made a fortune by smuggling arms, have to sigh: The collusion between officials and businessmen is dark.
And the most terrifying thing is that less than two days have passed since this incident, and he has not had time to rectify the poor man, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know what kind of trick he smoked, and checked his business twice in Liberia, so scared that he almost didn't jump from the sixteenth floor.
He didn't have time to calculate the economic losses, and what he wanted to figure out most was what S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to do well? If this was the case, then he could really only say before jumping off the building: I can save a large number of people by killing me, and I hope those people can treat their families well.
But just when he was planning his inheritance and whether to give it to the junior raised outside, the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation suddenly ended, which made him unclear about the situation, and finally after many inquiries, his contact person in the Ministry of Defense gave him a reminder, keep to himself, don't cause trouble, and behave well in the hearing.
He was really relieved that he still had to participate in the hearing, which meant that he was still useful and safe for the time being.
It's really bad luck, in his office, Justin sat on a chair, put his legs on the table, sighed and considered, whether to find the great priest Wang Lama at the east end of the street to exorcise evil spirits for him, or find the great nun at the west end of the street to change his luck, his follower Jack, holding his mobile phone and panicking.
"Tell him I'm not available. Justin is now distraught: "I don't answer anyone's phone right now." ”
"But sir—" Jack didn't do as Justin commanded, his expression was now flustered, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he covered his phone with one hand to prevent Justin's rude words from reaching him, "This is Mr. Daniel Whitehall's phone. ”
Poof, Justin hurriedly got up when he heard the name, but his sitting posture just now was too forced, and in this hurry, he directly planted on his back.
He didn't care about crying out in pain, he even crawled to Jack's side, grabbed his mobile phone and said flatteringly, "Mr. Whitehall, it's really an honor for me to receive your call." ”
Daniel Whitehall, many people may not have heard of this name, but those who know him know that this is a man with eyes and hands, and many dignitaries and military bigwigs are respectful in front of this usually simple person.
Justin, as an agent of the government, if he knew Whitehold, but he was not qualified to come forward to talk to him, he only saw from a distance that the high-ranking senator, against the initiator of Tony's hearing, was respectfully in front of Whitehall like a junior, with a humble smile on his face.
From that time on, Justin decided that it was better for him to stay away from this mysterious person, and if he got too close, he didn't know if he could stutter up, but if he was disgusted, hum, let himself be finished, I'm afraid it would be a matter of words.
And now, this existence that he can't afford to provoke has called in person, which makes Justin how can he deal with it carelessly.
"Justin, my little friend, how are you doing? I've heard you've been a little rough lately. Whitehall's voice on the phone was very kind.
"Thank you so much for your concern, I've had recently... It's okay. Justin was flattered by Whitehall's concern, but he also knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to care for no reason, and to him he could only be regarded as a small person, so he wisely asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Hmph, it's not about service. Whitehall laughed dryly, he seemed to be very satisfied with Justin's deference, of course, it is also possible that he did not pay attention to it at all, "I have a strong partner, they are looking for new business partners, I think you are very good, so I recommended you to them." ”
"Oh, that's so much for you..."Justin is a little confused now, being able to be a strong partner by Whitehall, this person or these people must not be simple, how could these people think of doing business with themselves?
Justin can still understand what position he is, he looks like a company boss on the surface, but in fact he is just a small role that runs errands, where will those big people cooperate with him, they are just using themselves.
"Listen, if you do a good job in this business, I guarantee that you will benefit a lot, and even overwhelm Tony Stark, it is not impossible. Whitehall's words made Justin's heart flutter, but Whitehall went on to say, "But, if you go wrong... I'm afraid I'll have to send someone to the river outside the city to get your body out. ”
Justin swallowed, the slightest urge to say yes that he had just ignited was immediately extinguished by this bland sentence.
If you do a good job and make a fortune, if you don't see the king of Hades, this is simply gambling on your life, and he instinctively wants to refuse this kind of thing. What are you kidding, if you make a wish that I can trample Tony Stark under my feet, if I wear it over my underwear, I will immediately put the red little pants on my sleeve and fly over and beat Tony up, but if I have to gamble with my life, hehe, I'd better wash and sleep first.
"Sir, I sincerely thank you for your kindness, but you know that I've been a little bit here lately..." Justin, who didn't want to play with his life, was about to put this matter off immediately, but he was interrupted in the middle of his words.
"You can't refuse my kindness. Whitehall's words still didn't fluctuate much in tone, but they sounded cold and undeniable.
"Yes sir, thank you for your kindness, I will do well. Justin shuddered, immediately changed his mind and agreed to the matter, "I promise." ”
"Remember, Umbrella Inc., Head of Security Jill Valentine. This person will come to you in the near future, do this business well, you will not regret it. Whitehall hung up the phone.
Justin has been very nervous since he received this call, it is not that he has not checked this so-called umbrella company, but the answers he got are, I don't know, I haven't heard of it.
What does this mean? This umbrella company does not exist at all? How is it possible that a person of Whitehall's status can still be fake when he says this matter so solemnly? This can only show that this company is not only powerful but also mysterious.
This makes him even more reluctant to agree to this matter, this company is so mysterious, presumably what he does is not too visible, doing business with them, once something goes wrong, they in the shadows, will definitely disappear without a trace immediately, but in the open self, I am afraid that I will become the scapegoat for all the mistakes.
But when he thought of Whitehall's undeniable tone, he didn't dare to put the matter off, because once he angered that gentleman, he was afraid that he would not be far from the end.
So he decided, let's take it one step at a time, anyway, he is a little person who has no right to decide, and he still has a trace of luck, what if he really does this business well? Maybe it is really like what Whitehall said, and he will immediately soar and trample Tony under his feet.
Now, after waiting for half a month with a tangled mood, those people have finally arrived. Justin immediately took Jack to greet the representative of the umbrella company, the head of security, Jill Valentine.
At this time, Sarah's pretending to be Jill Valentine had been placed in the VIP room. After Justin pushed the door in, he found that the situation in front of him, except that the other party was a woman, was completely different from what he imagined, there was no bodyguard in a black suit and sunglasses, no secretary in charge of records, just a woman with her back to her desk at home.
The woman was wearing a purple trench coat with blond hair tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, and when she turned around, Justin found that underneath the trench coat was a smooth purple bodysuit and a pair of black leather boots on her feet.
Her face is also different from the coquettishness of ordinary women, the lines are very tough, and in her eyes, Justin interprets two meanings, indifferent and arrogant.
"Justin Hammer?" asked Sarah, as if confirmed, "I think Whitehall has already introduced me to you." ”
"Yes, Ms. Valentine. Justin noticed that the other party did not add Mr. when calling Whitehall, which shows that the other party does not need to respect Whitehall so much, and what gives her this confidence can only be super strength.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, dear lady, and let me introduce you to Hammer Industries. Looking at the other party's posture, Justin's words were very respectful, and he usually wanted to introduce the situation of his company to facilitate further cooperation.
"No need, we know everything about you. Sarah interrupted Justin very coldly.
But this did not cause Justin to be dissatisfied, he is a person, or a large part of them are like this, and people who are better than themselves in the job will feel very unconvinced, and find any reason to prove that the other party is not better than themselves, they are just lucky.
But if the other party is much stronger than themselves, like a mountain looking up, they will feel that what the other party should do, and they will make up a lot of reasons to prove that the other party is doing the right thing.
"I heard that the Ministry of Defense forced you to come up with a product that can be equivalent to Iron Man, and you yourself want to get to Tony Stark?" ”
"Thank you so much, but it's true," Justin said, "I've got a talent, and I've got a bit of an eyebrow on this matter, so I'm ......"
In fact, Justin is still a little resistant to this so-called business, because no matter how you look at it, it is like a little sheep and a lion doing business, there is no fairness at all, the other party is just borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and there is a little hope recently, he doesn't want to do too risky things.
"Ivan Vanko?" asked Sarah.
"Uh, that's good. Justin struggled and finally admitted, since the other party said the name so accurately, it must be as she said, they know everything about themselves.
"He's afraid he can't. Sarah said dismissively, "I'll admit he's a good scientist and might have designed armor that rivals Iron Man, but what's the use?"
"You're using Tony's ideas, and even if you make a great armor, the world will only think you're copying, and you'll never want to get out of Tony's shadow for the rest of your life, and maybe you'll have to pay him royalties. ”
Justin thought about it, as if what the other party said was very reasonable, and it was true that building a steel suit would satisfy the Department of Defense, but would that prove that he had defeated Tony? Everyone knows that Edison invented the light bulb, but who remembers the person who improved and produced the light bulb?
"What do you mean?" asked Justin.
"We can give you, weapons in completely different areas. And it is guaranteed that the Ministry of Defense will be very interested in this. Sarah affirmed.
"What is it?" asked Justin. Hearing what the other party said so surely, he couldn't help but be interested.
"Chemical and biological weapons. ”
