"Do you think he still has what it takes to hold this hole card?"

Tony and Coulson are both smart people, and when they heard Ronan's reminder, a flash of inspiration flashed through their minds.

"Collins ......"

Tony's eyes suddenly lit up, but then his brows furrowed again, looked at Ronan, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If it is according to your thoughts, it means ......"

"That means Obadiah has now been eliminated, and Miss Potts is no longer his hole card."

Ronan seemed to have foreseen Tony's thoughts, and said with a smile, "If you want to rescue Miss Potts, I think you have to find the organization that kidnapped her right away." ”

"After all, no leader with a brain would pay for a loser's actions, and Miss Potts is a good hole card in their hand, so I don't think they would be stupid enough to hurt Miss Potts. So as long as you find that organization and give them a good price, I don't think it will be too difficult to rescue Miss Potts. Ronan added.

"You're right."

Tony nodded in response, then turned his head to look at Coulson on the side, and asked, "Agent Coulson, does your Logistics Support Bureau have any news about the organization that kidnapped Pep now?" ”

"Mr. Stark, we've changed our name, and we're now called S.H.I.E.L.D."

Coulson smiled and corrected the omissions in Tony's words, and then nodded: "Yes, our S.H.I.E.L.D. has dispatched a lot of personnel in the past few days, and finally found some clues. ”

"Miss Potts' kidnapping is a mysterious organization that has only recently emerged, and S.H.I.E.L.D. calls this organization the Centipede: Centipede, codenamed after a metal centipede implanted in the arm of their members."

"The centipede organization is more active in first-tier cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., as well as some coastal cities, which seems to be somewhat similar to the nature of another organization we have encountered before......"

As he spoke, Coulson inadvertently glanced at Ronan and continued: "This organization has close ties to the military, because of an experiment funded by the military, and Obadiah began to gradually contact this organization when he was managing Stark Industries, Mr. Stark, because you were removed from Stark Industries by Obadiah Stanley before, you should not know much about this organization. If you look up Stark Industries' profile now, you should be able to find something relevant. ”

"Centipede organization? Close ties to the military? ”

After listening to Coulson's explanation, Tony couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that so many things would happen to him just after leaving Stark Industries for a while, and what he didn't expect was that the organization that kidnapped Pep turned out to be a partner of the military.

Stark ......

Just as Tony hung his head and was silent, Ronan smiled and called out his name, and when he turned to look at himself, he continued, "Aren't you Stark Industries the weapons backbone of the military?" The military is your big customer, so rescuing Miss Potz shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

"That's ...... before"

Tony glanced sideways at Ronan and said, "Now Stark Industries has closed the weapons department. ”

"Okay."

Ronan spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's just that you should still have some friendship with the military." ”

"Hmm."

Tony nodded softly, turned to look at Coulson, and asked again, "Agent Coulson, do you know which unit of the military that the centipede organization is working with?" ”

"Yes."

Coulson nodded and responded, "The Centipede organization was previously funded by Lieutenant General Roberts from Army Headquarters, but now they don't necessarily still have contact with the military. ”

"Okay, I got it."

With a clear goal, Tony hurriedly turned around and walked out, and at the same time, the last sentence came into the ears of Coulson and Ronan, "I will negotiate with Lieutenant General Roberts immediately." ”

The words fell, and Tony, who was walking out quickly, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Outside the door, seeing Tony walking away, Ronan glanced at him, nodded to him, and then turned around and left.

"Please stay, Mr. Collins......" but Coulson suddenly stopped him.

"Coulson, anything else?" Ronan asked, turning around.

"Mr. Collins, I may visit St. Missy Manor in a while."

Coulson stepped forward and responded, "It may cause you some inconvenience then, I hope you can understand at that time." ”

"Visit?"

Ronan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked out loud, "Coulson, is it because of that mecha?" ”

"Mecha?"

Coulson was stunned, but reacted in an instant, understood what Ronan was referring to, and nodded in response: "Yes, but it's not ...... either"

"What do you mean?"

"That mech is only one aspect, and it's not our focus, but the other aspect, Mr. Collins......"

Coulson was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly called out to Ronan and said in a deep voice, "I think you know what I'm referring to, right?" ”

"Ha ......"

Ronan smiled, Coulson's words had been said so bluntly, he naturally understood what Coulson was referring to, but he didn't respond directly, and said with a chuckle: "Then Coulson, I'm waiting for you." ”

With that, Ronan didn't look at him again, and turned to leave the dilapidated experimental base.

And Coulson watched Ronan walk out quickly, his eyes narrowing slightly unconsciously, not knowing what he was thinking.

…………

Piloting the Stalker 1 through the night sky, Ronan rushed to the underground laboratory as soon as he returned to St. Missie's Manor.

"SIR, WHAT'S THE MATTER?"

Light and shadow are refracted to reveal the figure of zero. And Zero couldn't help but ask when he saw Ronan walking into the lab with a frown.

"Zero, access the SI-01 memory bank and retrieve all relevant centipede tissues." Ronan did not respond, but gave orders directly to him.

"OKAY, SIR."

Zero nodded in response, reached out and tapped it on the surface of his virtual body, and then saw a torrent of data quickly flash on the virtual light curtain that bounced out of his virtual body.

“SIR……”

More than ten seconds passed, and when the torrent of data on the virtual light curtain disappeared, Zero turned his head to look at Ronan and opened his mouth to say, "According to the search of the SI-01 memory, no information related to the term centipede organization has been found. ”

"Nothing?"

Ronan was slightly surprised, and after smacking his tongue slightly, he ordered again: "Zero, immediately hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, I need any information about this organization." ”

"OKAY, SIR." Zero nodded and responded.

“SIR……”

"What's wrong?" Hearing Zero's sudden call, Ronan asked with a frown.

"SIR, there are more than ten databases in S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, each database is equipped with dozens of firewalls and security measures, I can't determine which database is real, and it may take a long time to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal systems to find information about the centipede organization."

"For a long time?"

Ronan frowned and asked again, "Give me an accurate number." ”

"SIR, about nine to thirteen hours." Zero response.

"More than a dozen hours?"

Ronan, who wanted to wait for a while, couldn't help frowning when he heard this number, muttered, thought for a moment, and then said, "Zero, you immediately carry out the invasion mission, and notify me as soon as you get the relevant information." ”

"OKAY, SIR."

Ronan nodded his head, didn't say anything more, and turned to board the elevator in the lab to the living room.

After walking out of the living room, Ronan did not stop at all, and walked quickly towards the study on the second floor of the villa.
