Chapter Eighty-Four: Tony's Speech
After Tony left, Colonel Roddy ordered the soldiers to open their handcuffs, "Colonel Roddy, this is not in order. ”
"This is Tony's guarantor, don't do this, take them for treatment first, interrogate them after they recover, and be kind to them, this is an order!" "Yes! Sir! With that, the soldiers uncuffed them and took them to treatment.
All three received good treatment, but they were not too badly injured, but they were very tired. All three fell asleep groggily. Colonel Roddy looked at Tony, who was sleeping in the hospital bed, and asked about Tony's condition. "Tony's body is a bit complicated, he has a lot of shrapnel in his body that hasn't been removed, and the device on his chest is supposed to be an electromagnet that can stop the shrapnel from getting close to his heart." "Can the shrapnel from Tony's body be removed?" "It's difficult, it's very risky, after all, the shrapnel is next to the heart. The best thing is to keep the status quo. "Okay, I see"
Colonel Roddy was sitting next to Tony's bed, completely unaware that there was a person at the back of the room watching what was going on in the room. Kerr infiltrated the military base after turning on the stealth state, he wanted to disguise his identity before the US military investigated his identity, Kerr easily hacked into the American data center, disguised birth certificates, university certificates, in short, everything that could be used he faked, and now he has really become an American chemist and physicist.
After doing all this, Kerr passed by Tony's ward and saw the scene just outside the ward, in Kerr's hands, Tony's physical problems were well solved, and the treatment device on his body could take out the shrapnel in Tony's body, and Kerr was also willing to help Kerr, at that time Tony firmly defended Kerr, which won Kerr's favor, although this was the case, Kerr did not decide to do so, first, he was afraid of revealing his identity, and second, Kerr wanted to see if Tony could go further in the Ark reactor, A reactor of this magnitude has no value for Kerr, and if it can be taken one step closer, it would be a good pioneer for Kerr.
Kerr did not stay long before returning to his hospital room, and early the next morning, people from the army came to interrogate him. "Now we can be sure that you are a U.S. citizen, but we still have questions about why you are in Afghanistan, and we understand that no military has invited scholars to Afghanistan." An officer and soldier said.
"How do I know this, anyway, you invited me to come, I was still trying to do something for the country, but I have encountered this kind of incident since then, and you are embarrassed to ask me." Kerr's falsified information did not arouse any suspicion among the US military, but it was not easy to make up why he was in Afghanistan, so Kerr directly asked and did not know.
The non-commissioned officer was speechless about Kerr's attitude, but he couldn't get angry, and Colonel Roddy explained that he couldn't be rude to Kerr. Tony then walked into Kerr's hospital room, "Gentlemen, how long have you interrogated my friend, my friend can't be a terrorist. ”
"Tony, are you okay?" Kerr greeted. "It's not bad, but there are no cheeseburgers here." "Well, I said, when I go back, I'll treat you to a hundred cheeseburgers."
The two of them chatted, directly ignoring these non-commissioned officers. The non-commissioned officers were annoyed, and after exchanging glances, "Okay, Mr. Kerr, we will continue to investigate this matter, you are free and can return to the United States, but after a while, we still need you to cooperate with our investigation." "No problem!" Kerr said cheerfully.
"Do you want to go back on my private jet, we'll have a party on the plane." Kerr looked at Tony, who was back as a playboy, and replied, "Okay." ”
On the plane, the atmosphere was lively, with the flight attendants dancing and Kerr and Tony drinking under the brilliant lights. "Tony, do you have any plans for when you go back?" "Of course, I'm going to shut down Stark Industries' weapons department." "It's a really surprising plan." "This experience made me realize that weapons can't protect the world, only people can." "What does that mean?" "Like you said, only really good people can protect the world. I'm ready to build a better armor. "Are you going to put on your own armor and go and deal with the terrorists yourself?" "It doesn't have to be me, it might be for someone else, like you." "Me? I'm not a good person. Kerr replied.
"Why, don't be so modest, even I think I'm a good person, how can you be considered half a good person." Kerr was amused by Tony's humorous words, "You mean you're more of a good guy than I am?" "Of course? You have to be confident, and really, help me build a better armor together, and we'll be able to beat the terrorists in the cave with some tattered armor, let alone in the United States. Originally, it was difficult for others to cooperate with Tony's character, but because of the cooperation in the cave, Tony Kerr recognized it very much, and even thought that Kerr's strength was not worse than him.
Kerr thought for a moment, "Yes, but I have my own business, and I'll have to leave after all Tony has built his armor." And yours pay me a salary. "Hey bro, I'm billionaire Tony Stark, how could I lose your salary." "Capitalists like you are the ones who like to oppress scholars like us the most."
In a relaxed atmosphere, the two returned to the United States, and as soon as they got off the plane, they saw Tony's secretary Pepper and driver Harpy standing on the tarmac, and Pepper's eyes were slightly red and their sockets were already moist. Tony walked up to Pepper, "Your eyes are red, are you missing your boss?" "I'm glad I don't need to change jobs, because it's hard to find a job right now." Pepper is busy finding Tony and keeping Tony's company running after learning that Tony has disappeared in Afghanistan, and waits at the airport early after learning that Tony has been found.
Kerr stood aside, watching Tony flirt with Pepper, and couldn't help but think of Thea. "By the way, I'll introduce you, Kerr is a physicist, and I can't come back without him. This is Virginia Potts is my secretary and assistant. "Hello, Miss Potts." "Hello Mr. Kerr, thank you for saving Tony."
The three of them didn't hide from talking and sat down to greet him with a Rolls-Royce, Harpy asked where to go, Pepper wanted to take Tony to the hospital, Pepper was still not very worried about Tony's physical condition. But Tony refused, "Tony, now you need to check your physical condition." "No, don't force me to go to the hospital, I'll find out about my physical condition, and now you can help me contact the reporter and I'm going to hold a press conference." Also, take me to the burger joint. Tony looked at Kerr, "Don't forget the hundred cheeseburgers you said." Kerr smiled wryly, "I don't have any money right now." "It's okay, I'll have this meal, and you'll just owe me two hundred cheeseburgers when you're done." "Well, all evil capitalists."
Tony and his party went to the burger joint first and ate the cheeseburger, "You can't really order a hundred, do you?" Kerr asked. Of course, if you can't finish eating, can you pack it? Kerr didn't care so much when he heard Tony say that, and started eating this burger, and by the time Tony ate two, Kerr had already eaten six. Kerr, I think you can compete in the Big Stomach Contest. You're definitely the most edible scientist I've ever met. With Tony finished, the seventh burger went down, "It's been a long time since I've had a cheeseburger that's so good." ”
"Tony, the press conference has started and we're late." "Okay, pack the rest of the burger, and we'll go to the company. So the four of them brought a secret cart of hamburgers to the company. "Send the rest of the burger to the reporters and staff, and by the way, I've got to eat one." With that, Tony picked up a burger and walked into the company. Pepper looked at Tony's back and smiled helplessly, Tony really thought of something.
