Chapter Seventy-Five: The Rod Angler
The next day, Steve rushed to Stark Mansion early with his fishing rod and the latest ironclad equipment.
Cooperation, especially the first one, to make a good impression on the other person, so as to increase the favorability of the follow-up.
In order to get more supplies from Stark Industries in the future, Steve felt that he needed to build a good relationship with the future Stark Industries speakers.
On the top floor of Stark Tower, Pepper Potts was pointing to the black-skinned figure on the plane and introduced, "This is Colonel Rhodes of the Air Force, and this time he has full authority to cooperate with you in rescuing Tony." ”
Rhodes, "......"
Rhodes on the helicopter looked down at Steve, who was wearing an ordinary white and gray tracksuit, and looked carefully, Steve's sandals looked a bit like someone in the desert.
His hands were empty, and his eyes exuded inexplicable confidence.
"Hello, Colonel Rod, my name is Steve." Steve gentlemanly reached out to shake Rhodes' hand.
A second, two seconds, five seconds passed, and Colonel Rod, who was standing on the edge of the helicopter, seemed to ignore Steve's hand, "I don't want to shake hands with a liar!" ”
"Am I a liar?" Steve first glanced back at Pepper Potts beside him, and then at Colonel Rhodes in the helicopter.
Rhodes already thinks that Steve is a scammer who appeared by chance, not to mention that their air force has analyzed and found out based on the intelligence of Tony Stark's attack that this is actually a conspiracy specifically against Tony Stark.
The other side has a large number of armed forces, and at least has a certain internal connection in the Stark Building.
Otherwise, the other party would not have found Tony Stark's location so accurately.
Secondly, although not everywhere in Afghanistan is desert, the area where Tony was wrecked is all the Gobi Desert.
Steve still doesn't have any weapons with him, and he's even wearing slippers?
Are you kidding?
Scammers should also be professional, at least come up with a life locator, or a full-map scanner and other deceptive things!
Pepper Potts was also embarrassed when she stood next to Steve, but she had seen the picture of Tony Stark and Steve talking and laughing, so although she didn't think that Steve looked like someone who could find Tony Stark, she still trusted Stark's decision.
"That, Colonel Rod, Mr. Steve is not a liar, he has abilities that ordinary people don't have." Pepper Potts wishes that Steve would be on a helicopter to fly to Afghanistan at the airport now, but now that there is a conflict between Steve and Colonel Rhodes, she can't force the two to work together.
"It's just that you didn't see through his magic tricks!"
Seeing that Pepper Potts wanted to continue to explain, Steve reached out to stop Pepper Potts and looked at Rod on the helicopter lightly, "You should have heard Tony's last call recording, and you have also heard that Tony asked me to save him at the end." ”
"Yes!"
"That proves that, in Tony's mind, my Steve's personal ability should be stronger than yours, who are already a colonel in the Air Force." Steve showed down to Colonel Rhodes, who had been black-faced and didn't give people a good face, "I'm sorry, maybe I'm too profound for ordinary people to see." ”
was stunned by Steve's straightforward words, and Rod's originally black face instantly changed between red, black and purple black.
Rod squeezed the handle of the helicopter hard, he couldn't find a reason to refute, the other party was the person Tony Stark was looking for in the last call, and what made him feel congested was that Tony Stark was the first person to contact before asking Pepper Potts to find Steve.
"You...... I...... Hum! Countless words that wanted to curse were blocked in Rod's mouth, but he didn't have the confidence to squirt at Steve.
Looking at the furious Colonel Rod, Steve turned to look at Pepper Potts, "Okay, Miss Potts, I'd better take your Stark Industries plane, I don't think this angry Air Force colonel is of much use." ”
Pepper Potts opened his mouth and didn't know how to coordinate at all, especially the Colonel Rhodes who was standing on the helicopter, and the anger in his eyes at the moment was like refining an elixir.
Steve looked at Colonel Rod, "I'm sorry, I accidentally told the truth, I have a bad habit of being a person, that is, I like to occasionally can't control my true thoughts, I hope Colonel Rhodes doesn't care." ”
Colonel Rhodes squeaked the handle of the helicopter and spat out a paragraph with a hoarse grin, "Hehe, but I'm disappointed, this rescue operation is a request from the Stark Industries Board of Directors to our Air Force, so ......"
"So...... I'm going to go with an Air Force colonel who could set the plane on fire at any moment to save Tony? Steve looked at Pepper Potts, "He's not going to blow the plane up." ”
Looking at Steve, who was ignoring him again, Rod gritted his teeth.
Pepper Potts gritted her teeth and said to Steve, "It's the board's decision, they feel that in a cross-border search and rescue operation, there is no way to find Tony alone." ”
"Alright then, Colonel Rhodes, you fly first, and I'll come up right away." Steve spread his hands helplessly, "Since the boss who paid for it has said so, then I have no choice but to admit it." ”
Hearing Steve's words, Rod was stunned at first, and then immediately gave the pilot the order to fly.
"The higher you fly, the better!" Rhodes said to the pilot who was flying the helicopter.
Rod thought that Steve wanted to show off his jumping power, so that the pilot could be directly raised, so that Steve could be embarrassed and Pepper Potts could see what Tony Stark's designated person looked like.
The helicopter was getting higher and higher, and Steve was not in a hurry at all, just looking at Rhodes standing on the helicopter staring at him on the ground, looking at the mockery on his face.
Pepper Potts, who was standing next to Steve, looked up at the helicopter that had flown dozens of meters high, and couldn't help but comfort Steve, "Mr. Steve, you ......"
"Miss Potts, don't worry, let him fly a little longer." Steve slowly put the fishing rod in his backpack on the shortcut inventory, "This distance, it's too close." ”
Standing on the helicopter that was still rising, Rod sneered and looked at Steve, who was still on the top floor of the Stoke Building, "Hmph, I see how you beg me to come down and pick you up in a while!" ”
As he spoke, Rhodes turned his head to the pilot who had already controlled the helicopter hovering and ordered, "Continue to fly at an altitude of height!" ”
Seeing Rhodes' helicopter drift into the pale white clouds in the sky, Pepper Potts just wanted to ask Steve if he wanted to call the helicopter down.
All she heard was a whoosh, and there was still a trace of Steve beside her.
And in the helicopter that had just broken through the clouds, when Rod just took out his mobile phone and was about to dial Pepper Potts, a powerful palm had unconsciously pressed on his shoulder, "Colonel Rode, I'm sorry, I'm really the kind of person who can't be seen by ordinary people." ”
