70、I am iron man
"Who the hell are you? And what are you trying to do with me? ”
Tony's expression was rare when he asked this question, and the first time Victor saw this expression was when Chen's father learned that he had chosen a directing department.
That's a kind of firmness that you won't compromise without convincing him.
Victor didn't give an immediate answer, and Tony was also in no hurry, sitting there waiting for Victor to think slowly.
This sudden showdown did not surprise Victor.
Tony is proud, arrogant, poisonous, and has the "intellectual curiosity" of all geniuses, or the desire to control, and they want to keep everything under their control.
This is also why science and fantasy are often opposites, because of the unknown, so fear.
After this side-by-side battle, Tony has recognized Victor.
But.
The Obadiah affair also made Tony's heart wall high, and he was worried that Victor's appearance was just for some benefit on him - such as the complete technology of the steel suit.
Coupled with the fact that Victor's origin cannot be verified, this makes Tony even more uneasy.
He is not a secretive person.
Since you can't find it, and you think you can be a person, then ask directly.
He left the decision to Victor.
Victor's next answer will be related to Tony's attitude towards Victor in the future.
There was silence for several minutes.
Victor remade a good pot of tea and filled it up for Tony.
Then with the calm tone of the narrative, it is narrated.
"Just like Norman, you were originally my first target for investment." Victor said in a relaxed tone: "But then I found out about Obadia, and I felt that you were not suitable for investment, so I chose Norman as the next best thing." ”
Speaking of this, Victor paused.
Tony didn't ask, but raised his hand for Victor to continue.
Victor took a sip of tea and continued.
"I don't want to deceive you about my identity, I can only selectively reveal what I can say, and I hope you don't tell this information to third parties, including Pepper."
Tony still didn't speak, he bowed his head slightly in agreement, and continued to wait for the following.
Next.
Victor repeated the same rhetoric with Norman to Tony, popularizing the cosmology.
Tony's face was very exciting.
Three points of doubt, three points of surprise, three points of surprise, and one point of solemnity.
Is the technology of the universe already so developed?
The current earth does not even have the ability to send people out of the solar system, and people in the universe are already able to travel interstellarly?
Tony was pondering, and Victor was silently sipping tea.
There was silence for a few more minutes.
Tony finally asked the first question: "So, you were chosen by some business system in the universe to become an agent of the Earth?" Like Amazon's regional agents? ”
"It's not a good analogy, we don't have a wage." Victor corrected: "I only have one platform, and I have to collect valuable goods before I can profit from them. ”
"Hey! You're showing off! Tony exclaimed exaggeratedly, "A cosmic inventory of goods!" Damn it! Help me ask, do you accept financing? ”
"Impossible, and there's only one person in a galaxy." Victor shrugged.
"So your abilities, potions, and gravity devices are all redeemed through this platform?" Tony asked again.
"Yes."
"That's ......."
"I've said enough, and if I ask any more, I'll have to pay for the intelligence, whether it's a check or a technology." Victor was blocked with a word.
Tony took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He perfectly understood what the "checks" and "technology" in Victor's mouth meant.
And.
Being able to tell myself so much is already very sincere.
"I'm interested in the universe you're talking about." Tony straightened his tie and got up and stretched out his right hand to Victor: "Tony Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you, a cosmic merchant. ”
Victor got up and shook Tony's hand and smiled, "Victor Chen, it's also a pleasure to have a friendship with you." ”
"Is this really your name?"
"I'm an earthling."
"Tsk, I won't know until I've tested you."
"Whatever, but you'd better prepare a stiffer needle."
"Titanium?"
"You can try it, but I think it's enough."
"You must have a thick skin."
“...... I'll just praise you for me. ”
"Of course, if it makes you happy."
...
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in which the two got along returned to before, and they did not forget to scold each other between the lines.
About half an hour later.
Tony, who got the answer, returned to the villa and continued to work.
Both of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the "steel suit".
Tony may not fully trust Victor's side of the story, and Victor doesn't intend to make up for his current low-end suit.
Victor returned to the bedroom, instilled the remaining Chinese materials into his brain, and continued to digest and study.
Early the next morning.
After Pietro had breakfast, he went back to the café to continue his work, while Wanda stayed.
Today is the launch of League of Legends, and it is also Tony's launch.
As the sole shareholder of the company, Victor must only participate in his own product launch, so he sent Frigio to represent him.
And he arrived at Tony's press conference with Wanda - he was going to let Wanda and Frishia go together, but Wanda insisted on coming here.
The press conference has not yet begun, and for the time being, Rhodes is speaking about some military statements.
"According to the military investigation, the 'Iron Man' who appeared yesterday was just Tony Stark's bodyguard, just like the shadow of ancient China and the stand-in for acting, not Tony Stark himself......"
Anyway, after a lot of rhetoric, it is trying to dissociate Iron Man from Tony Stark.
The reporters sitting below had a "you and I am a fool" expression.
So many videos, photos, and you give this lame statement, do you think we can believe it?
But.
That's not their primary concern.
The reporters below were raising their hands one after another, trying to grab the right to ask questions, but they were all ignored by Rhodes.
"This is a statement conference, there is no question session, please sit quietly and don't embarrass everyone at the end." Rod warned vaguely.
But looking at the disdainful faces of the reporters, it is obviously useless.
Victor was bored, but Wanda looked at it with interest, it was the first time she had come to the press conference.
I was thinking about whether I should go backstage and take a walk.
A man in a suit with a slightly bald hairline walked slowly, approached and handed over a business card.
Victor pretended to glance at the business card, but in fact he naturally recognized the middle-aged man - Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. level 8 agent, standard template for American agents, and one of Nick Fury's most capable subordinates.
I only heard Coulson's tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, I made an appointment with you yesterday, I wonder if I can delay you for a few minutes after the press conference?" ”
"Of course no problem, it's an appointment." Victor shrugged: "After the press conference, if you still have time, I can cooperate." ”
Coulson smiled politely but not embarrassedly, "Then excuse me, I'll go and get busy first, and please wait a little after the meeting." ”
Coulson came and went as fast as he could.
This incident is very noisy, and he is handling it with full authority, and he is very busy.
Just right.
At this time, Tony also walked up to the stage, he first swept around the press room, and nodded from Victor, who was standing at the back, with a casual expression.
"It's been a long time since the last press conference, so I'll read it as scripted."
Tony pulls out a card.
"Some people think that I participated in the ...... of Stark Industrial Area and Square yesterday at noon as 'Iron Man'"
As soon as I heard this, I wanted to play official Tai Chi.
A female reporter from the gray professional group who sat down to publish the head of the stage said in a very impatient voice: "Sorry! Excuse me, Mr. Stark, do you think we're going to buy it? A bodyguard who looks exactly like you? Seriously, from your point of contact, it seems that that person is you! ”
Although it was only the back, Victor could see that this female reporter named "Christine" was clearly the one who had an appointment with Tony.
Relying on the "negative distance" contact of a cannon, her rebuttal is still strong.
Next.
Things are developing as in the plot, Tony is questioned by Christine "There is no superhero potential, we care more about who Superman is", Tony's tsundere little heart is enraged, and he begins to explain his point of view without following the agreed lines.
Rod on the side had a bad premonition, so he quickly whispered to Tony to read the script.
Tony also came to his senses, adjusted his mentality and stared down at the manuscript: "The actual situation is ......"
He paused.
At this moment, no one knew what was going through Tony's mind.
He looked away from the manuscript and met Victor's eyes at the end of the presentation room, a look of determination in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, Tony made some kind of big decision.
He said very easily, "I am iron man."
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
The reporters in the audience all stood up excitedly, and Tony was drowned out by flashing lights, shutters, and gossiping questions.
Rode, who was next to Tony, clutched his head with a "I knew it would be like this" expression.
Pepper at the back of the press conference showed a doting smile, looking at Tony's back, his eyes lacked a strange light, he has a different kind of attraction at this moment!
Coulson, who originally thought he was about to be freed, couldn't help but feel a little bitter on his calm and friendly face, it's over, it's hard to say that he has to work overtime tonight, and I'm afraid that the date with his girlfriend is also a pigeon.
There were only four people present, who stood still.
Tony, as the initiator, is naturally prepared, and his years of experience in dealing with reporters make him very comfortable with the dazzling and even enjoyable moment.
Victor, as a familiar person with the plot, is naturally not surprised by this classic scene, but he sighs a little, you must know that this scene was not the original script, but the actor's on-the-spot performance.
There is also the questioner Christine, who feels uncomfortable being slapped in the face, and it is very embarrassing to sit in a chair.
Last but not only is ...... Wanda, who looked overwhelmed.
What the hell is going on?
Tony is Iron Man, didn't the newspapers publish it yesterday? He admits it now, one by one so excited?
Looking at the reporters who squeezed forward one by one, Wanda was inexplicably a little afraid.
She subconsciously leaned towards Victor's side, almost snuggling up to Victor's arm, and then quietly glanced at Victor's side face, and after making sure that the other party didn't find out, she was both disappointed and a little lucky.
But no matter what.
As long as he was around, she wouldn't be scared anymore.
