Chapter 394: Persuasion
Three hours later, Stark's plane landed at the Twist Airport, and Harpy drove Stark towards Manhattan in a luxury car.
He, the driver and bodyguard, is about to become a salary thief who only takes a salary and doesn't work, and he used to tell people that he was Tony Stark's bodyguard, which would attract a lot of admiring eyes, but now he is Tony Stark's bodyguard, which will only attract laughter.
Iron Man needs a driver and bodyguards, it's a big joke, this hurts Harpy's self-esteem so much that he wants to resign many times, and now Stark lets him drive again, and he doesn't wear a steel suit yet, this is his best chance to fulfill his duties.
His excitement, even Stark, who was not in good spirits, saw it, and asked very suspiciously: "Harpy, are you so happy to drive?" ”
Harpy immediately talked about his distress and troubles during this time, and Stark nodded frequently, he really forgot about Harpy's embarrassing situation, with a steel suit, a personal bodyguard or something, he could indeed retire, and when he edited the 'Sentinel' program, Jarvis would be able to control the activities of the steel suit without him having to control it.
At that time, the steel suit is the best and most competent bodyguard, there is no need to hire any more people, and Harpy really has nothing to do, in this case, it is to give him a new job, after all, he has followed him loyally for so many years.
After only a few seconds of thought, Stark spoke, "Harpy, are you interested in being the head of security at Stark Industries?" ”
"Security Director?!"
"yes, it's pretty much the same as what you're doing now," Stark snapped his fingers, nodded his index finger at Harpy, and said, "That's it, when I get back to California, I'll tell Pepper that Stark Industries needs a higher level of security." ”
From the beginning to the end, Harpy didn't intervene, Stark had already decided on his new job, Harpy could only thank him except for thanks, no matter what, it was better than this bodyguard job who only got a salary and didn't work, and secretly determined that he must make a performance in his new job to prove that he is a good employee who is conscientious.
Harpy looked at the road ahead, raised his head slightly to look at Stark in the rearview mirror, and asked, "Sir, where are we going?" He only knew that Stark was going to Manhattan, but he didn't know the exact address, and it didn't look like he was going to Stark Tower, which was being renovated.
Stark took out his phone, opened the text message, and read, "177A Blick Street!" ”
Twenty-one minutes later, Stark's car slowly stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated three-story building, Stark got out of the car wearing sunglasses, and looked up at the hemispherical skylight with a diameter of about two meters in the middle of the roof exterior wall, and there was a 'well' shaped symbol composed of four curves on it.
Stark whispered, "Jarvis, do you see this?" ”
"It's been recorded, sir." Jarvis's voice came from the temples.
Stark nodded, and asked Harpy to park the car farther away, after all, this street is really not spacious, or there are few spacious roads in the whole twist, two-lane roads are the norm, four-lane roads are only the treatment of the main road, and as for the eight-lane wide road, it is really not necessarily impossible to find it in science fiction movies.
With such a narrow road, it is enough to choke on the road, so it is naturally impossible to mark a parking space on the side of the road, and if you want to park, you must go to the parking lot. So Harpy drove to the parking lot, and Stark walked to this nondescript building in the middle of nowhere.
Walking to the door, Stark didn't push the door, but looked around with interest, but didn't find the doorbell or lock, and there was a fence on the outermost layer, but the location where the gate should have been installed has become a smooth road, and it can be said that it can go all the way to the hall.
This is far from the magic temple that Stark thought, even if there were no twelve warriors in golden armor to re-fortify, they should have made a few magic towers or something, and the result was a glass door, too hasty, Stark's villa is equipped with several layers of protection, if you want to sneak attack, unless you fly over.
At this moment, the glass door suddenly opened, revealing Grell behind the door, a scene that made Stark's eyes widen suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprise. Through the glass, the hall and the porch could be clearly seen, and Stark had been staring at it, obviously not seeing anyone, but the moment the door opened, Grell suddenly appeared on the other side of the glass.
This makes Stark feel that the door looks like transparent glass, but it is actually a glass painting of an empty hall, but after walking through this door, he inadvertently puts his hand on the glass door, and his hand is clearly visible from the other side, but he can't see the painting called 'The Empty Hall'.
I tried another wooden door with glass, and it was the same, it seemed to be just ordinary glass, but how did Grell appear just now? This is Stark's puzzle, could it be that this glass is a high-tech product, just like his villa in California, the glass curtain wall near the sea is the display screen, which can show the seascape of different seasons and climates according to needs, and it is still dynamic, no different from the real one.
Could it be that the glass on this wooden door, which looks very old, is also an expensive special display? What is the purpose of installing such a display on the glass of the gate? Show mystery, pretend to be a wave? Stark had just entered the door and reaped the doubts.
Fortunately, there's nothing special in it, and it's 'creaky as soon as you go!' Creak! The ringing wooden floors and the very old sconces and other very strong medieval decoration style are not surprising, and the iron door at the end of the corridor is unscrewed, and you enter the very modern hall.
An iron door separated the 'past' from the 'modern', and Jarvis's voice came from the temples of Stark's sunglasses, and since entering the Torsion Temple, Stark had walked in a straight line, already fifteen or sixteen meters, and from the outside, the building was eighteen meters wide.
But the hall in front of you is at least seven meters long, and there is a door on the opposite side of the hall, which should be another room.
Stark suppressed the surprise in his heart, walked to the sofa, and sat down, Stark's silence surprised Greer, he was ready to be questioned by Stark, but he didn't expect that from the moment he entered the door, Stark had been silent, and did not show a little attitude towards the New York Temple.
Could it be that there is a big matter to discuss, so let's not talk about the Twist Temple, after all, Grell has to help guard the Twist Temple for nearly a year, and there is time and opportunity.
After Stark sat down, he took off his sunglasses, and in a soft tone, he explained General Rose's request for help from the Avengers, focusing on the current plight of the soldiers in the base, according to the military's rescue progress, even if everything goes smoothly to rescue those soldiers, it will take a long time, and many soldiers will die due to excessive gamma ray radiation.
It took ten minutes for Stark to explain the cause and effect clearly, and also said General Rose's preliminary conditions, and after saying all this, Stark began to say what he wanted to say, turned his head to look at Dr. Banner, who was speechless throughout the whole process, and said, "Doctor, this is not to help Rose, but to save the GIs who are trapped in the excessive radiation environment." ”
Dr. Banner just smiled, took off his myopic glasses, rubbed his temples, and said, "I shouldn't be able to help much, the Hulk will be stronger in a gamma-ray environment, and now the GIs still have a chance to survive, if I go over, maybe the GIs and the base will be buried in the ground forever." ”
"Hulk doesn't have that many PhDs, and the GIs need Dr. Bruce Banner who is knowledgeable and knows enough about gamma rays." Stark was mentally prepared for Dr. Banner's refusal, if it was a different person, maybe Dr. Banner would be able to help, and General Ross would be hehe.
Bruce Banner raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look at the little couple next to him who were eating potato chips and drinking Coke, and asked, "Rusoff, what do you think?" Does Kamen Rider armor protect against gamma rays with high penetration? ”
"It should be fine," Greer said slurred, shoving potato chips into his mouth, "but does that have anything to do with us?" I don't think they'll be grateful for a few favors from the military, and I've never expected them to reciprocate, but gratitude, but gratitude. ”
"I don't think they even understand the basics." Bruce Banner helped out.
He could see clearly in the sky above Chinatown, Kamen Rider was stopping the abomination from wreaking havoc, and the military helicopter gunship was a shuttle of bullets, and he was personally interpreting what it was.
Grell spread his hands, put on a 'love can't help' look, and continued to grab potato chips with Daisy, not interested in General Ross's so-called conditions, that old guy turned his face like a book, it should be said that politicians all over the world are like this.
Take the president of the United States as an example, what is the high-sounding words, what is this policy for the good of the people, but what really benefits is the consortium that supports his ascension, people spend so much money and resources, isn't it just to reap more benefits by putting him in power?
Stark listened to Grell and Bruce's refusal words, but raised his eyebrows, not surprised, Bruce Banner didn't say anything, and the military has been playing the game of 'you chase me and run' for nine years, and Grell's limited contact with the military is also extremely unpleasant.
In such a situation, if you happily agree to help the army, then it will be a real hell.
Even Stark himself didn't want to see Rose, but he directly bought the only bar in Rose's training ground and blew it up.
