"River, she's taking your power and trying to turn you blind." Tony persuaded earnestly, "Do you know what will happen if this continues? All your orders, all your needs, must be fulfilled by her, I have seen such a woman, when she has the right, the next step is definitely to attack your other women, you will completely lose your family status. ”

"Is this so exaggerated...... Shen He was shocked for a moment, and then shook his head again and again as if he was reflexing, "We are not that kind of relationship." ”

"It's not up to you." Tony's eyes were full of pity as he looked at Shen He.

"......" Shen He really hesitated a little this time.

With the character of the empress, it seems that she really did that...... It's not impossible.

"Anyway, you'd better do something now." Tony saw Shen He's hesitation, and said while the iron was hot, "I have checked her information, the historical Semiramis is the Middle Eastern version of Wu Zetian, you don't want to be Tang Gaozong." ”

"You even know Tang Gaozong." Shen He shook his head helplessly, and suddenly looked Tony up and down, "It seems that you also left everything in the company to Pepper, and then be your own shopkeeper." ”

"I'm different from you." Tony's face was stinky, "Pepper admires me very much, she does things for me out of her feelings for me, not out of her own ambition." ”

"......" Shen He suddenly regretted asking this question.

He is indeed not as good as Tony in this regard, and the empress is not Pepper's type.

"Anyway, I probably know what you want to say, and there won't be the day you say it." Shen He exhaled slowly, and then said, "You shouldn't just come to remind me." ”

He knew Tony, and if he just said these jokes, there was no need to make a special trip, just say it in the video communication.

"Indeed." Tony shrugged his shoulders and looked a little more serious, "That woman, let someone pass me a message, gave me two choices. ”

"Which two?" Shen He was stunned.

"The first, take my Stark Industries, and annex them to the Chaldees, and henceforth be subject to her jurisdiction." A sarcastic smile tugged at Tony's lips, "I've grown so big, but no one has ever dared to say anything like that to me." ”

“...... She doesn't understand your feelings for Stark. Shen He sighed, looking at Tony's eyes and apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"

For Tony, Stark Industries is not so much an asset as he misses his father, a company that he has poured his heart and soul into and that his father has bequeathed him the greatest love.

"You don't need to apologize, and I'm not here to hold me accountable." Tony reached out and put his hand on Shen He's shoulder.

Of course, he understood that this would not be what Shen He meant, so he felt that the woman Semiramis was ambitious, and Shen He would be eaten to death if he didn't do it.

"So, what about the other option?" Shen He's brows furrowed slightly.

"Let Stark Industries, like other companies, relocate to Sky Garden in the form of a franchise." Tony's expression became serious again.

The second option, it seems, is that there is no problem, since it is unwilling to merge, then it can only join.

But in reality, this is not fair to Stark Industries.

When the virtual reality company was first created, it was almost entirely under the sole responsibility of Stark Industries.

They have contributed manpower, material resources, funds, and land, and it can be said that without Tony and Stark, the virtual reality company would not have wanted to build and release products so smoothly.

Even Tony himself owns more than 20 percent of the shares, making him the second largest shareholder of the virtual reality company, and Shen He owns nearly 10 percent of Stark Industries.

Because of the cross-shareholding, the status of the two companies should be equal partners.

And now, Semiramis wants to kick Tony and Stark Industries out.

Let them change from the role of managers to the next level of competitors.

“......”

Shen He slowly sat back in his office chair, his brows furrowed, and he was silent.

The empress is putting the issue of interests out nakedly.

And tear all the pretenses and excuses.

In doing so, it will be him who will be embarrassed.

"River, do you remember what you said when you founded the 'Chaldean Earth Division'?" Tony moved a chair himself and sat across from Shen He.

"Of course I do." Shen He sighed in his heart, "This force is not only ours, but also the people of the earth, even if we leave one day, it can stay here, leave it to you, and become the biggest line of defense to protect the earth." ”

When he decided to build up his power and protect the lives of the servants in this world, enlisting the help of Tony and others was the quickest way to do so.

After all, the so-called "Chaldean headquarters" simply does not exist.

"So now, has that changed?" Tony leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Shen He.

He naturally knew that Coulson had lost most of his rights, and this would inevitably be the result of Shen He's acquiescence.

Otherwise, Coulson would have found Shen He directly like him.

“......”

Shen He was silent for a long time this time, and finally shook his head.

"No, I don't think it has changed, the purpose of everything we do is to protect the world, it's just ...... I'm a little more ambitious. ”

Shen He calmly met Tony's gaze.

The disguise had been torn apart by Semiramis, and he knew that if he continued like this, such a conversation would come sooner or later.

"Ambition?" Tony asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Shen He organized the language in his mind, "For a very, very long time, we have only silently guarded the human civilization in all planes, even when it is time to take action, we are only to solve the problem, and then retire, and even sometimes, we will erase our remaining traces as much as possible." ”

It is not easy to find a suitable reason to explain the ambition that you have bred and to integrate into the entire Chaldean system.

But it's not that hard.

"It's really an admirable thing, the guardian behind the scenes of the world or something." Tony shrugged, "And then?" ”

"The reason we protect humanity is because we believe that humanity has great potential, and everything in humanity deserves our protection." The corners of Shen He's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was laughing and sarcastic, "But unconsciously, we have become so powerful." ”

"......" Tony suddenly understood.

The purpose of the guardian is to look forward to the future of human civilization, but as a result, the guardian has always been far ahead of human civilization.

"The enemies of this world, in their numerousness and strength, are only a handful in most of the worlds we have come into contact with." Shen He continued, "So I had to prepare in advance, including building up forces, concentrating forces, all of which was to deal with the crisis, but — I saw another possibility in the process." ”

"With the power of the Chaldeans, to promote the development of human civilization?" Tony said the latter words for Shen He.

"That's right." Shen He nodded, leaned back in his chair, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "This is not the opinion of the headquarters, but my personal ambition." ”

can let the other party say what he wants to express, which shows that this time the flicker has basically succeeded.

I always feel that he has mastered this area.

"Wouldn't that be against the rules of the Chaldeans?" Tony asked again, "After all, you ...... Prefer not to meddle. ”

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Shen He shook his head and chuckled, "It's all about protecting people, isn't it?" ”

"Flexible enough." Tony laughed too, "But I like it." ”

The real achievers never stick to the rules, they prefer to make their own rules.

and to promote the development of mankind...... This great cause also appealed to Tony's heart.

"So, I'll just say it." Shen He kept a smile on his face, but his eyes became solemn, "The meaning of this 'Chaldean Earth Division' to me is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning, it carries my ambitions, so I will not kick you out of the game without mercy, provided that you have to keep up with our rhythm." ”

In other words, Shen He asks Tony to play an important role in the forces as before.

Placing too much emphasis on friendship in the face of interests will only make this rare friendship deteriorate.

Shen He used to be so generous to give a lot of skills, rights, and benefits to Tony, and friendship and trust accounted for a part, but the more important reason was that he was able to get more from Tony.

"Interesting." The smile on Tony's face faded, "Who do you think I am?" Let's put it this way, there are only three kinds of people in all of humanity, ordinary people, superheroes, and me, Tony Stark, you think I'm going to hold you back!? I am the greatest genius of all mankind! ”

"Hahaha." Shen He laughed, "I like the way you stink, Tony. ”

He was completely relaxed at this point, and after some things were said, it would indeed make people feel relaxed.

"You'd better worry about yourself." Tony really put on a stinky fart look, "You're far worse than me when it comes to dealing with women, how about it, do you need me to teach you a few tricks." ”

"Your playboy tricks can only deceive ignorant little girls." Shen He calmed down his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly, "As the royal master of Chaldea, how could I be led by the nose by the servant, if I really want to talk about it, this aspect is my job." ”

It's just a mere empress, and she can't really fly.

If he didn't arrange her properly, then he, the master, would really be a failure.

"I hope so."

Tony had an expression of intending to watch the play, and then said as if casually:

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I think I should have learned the magic book you gave me earlier."

"What......" It will be Shen He's turn to be completely stunned.

Tony simply didn't say anything, and directly stretched out his palms and crossed them in front of his chest, concentrating, and a pattern formed by jumping sparks formed out of thin air.
