Chapter Ninety-Eight: Opinions and Suggestions
(Sorry, this chapter is late...... )
After dismissing the medical staff urgently transferred from Stark Industries' hospital, and instructing Jarvis to delete all the technical data of the suits if necessary, Pepper and Roddy took Tony Stark, who was still asleep on the emergency pusher, and the suits to board Grant's stealth Quin, ready to be transferred to a secret place.
By the way, this stealth Quint fighter has been temporarily named "Black". Skye had asked something, but Grant pushed it off with a "I like black".
Grant didn't leave with Pepper. He boarded the "Black" and set the fighter into automatic flight mode. After teaching Skye some simple and necessary operations, he watched "Black" disappear in front of him. Then he himself began the final step of the plan.
As the saying goes, you have to do a full set of plays. found another pusher, stuffed a few things, and covered it with a white cloth, disguised as if it was a person; Several more large chests were found, and on the side of one of them was a deliberately isolated arm of a steel suit - just scrap, of course. Grant moved all of this into one of Garrett's two Quint fighters. Then he "suddenly" thought of something, and immediately "nervously" pulled out his gun and took out the camera in the cabin of the fighter.
In fact, there is a locator on the fighter. But for this, Grant has no intention of destroying. After taking out the camera, he simply disposed of the pusher and the box, and drove a sports car from Stark's garage straight into the cabin. Next, of course, it took off.
Not long after, Garrett woke up to find that 10880 Malibu was empty, and of course he was furious. After returning to S.H.I.E.L.D., the location of the fighter was located through the locator on the plane, which was somewhere in the desert of Nevada. He then also got footage from the camera's internal camera before it was damaged. Well, a question came to his mind and those behind him - it wasn't strange to want the suits, and it was understandable to take all the suits, but what was it to take Stark himself with them? That guy wasn't going to take Stark prisoner and ask him to develop the suit for him, or was there some kind of genetic authentication lock on the suit?
In an instant, an organization has made no less than ten plans for this situation. They even wonder if there is a more mysterious organization than them, and that guy is already one of them?
Meanwhile, Garrett's cursed "that guy" is already in the snowy forests of Canada.
Due to the terrain, Grant had to abandon the car and walk. Although it wasn't his sports car, he still felt a little sorry when it was lit - it was probably the best and most expensive car he had ever driven.
Grant's destination is a secret base provided by Fury, a semi-finished product. Most of the building and decoration were completed, as well as water and electricity supplies, as well as a few beds and a few pieces of furniture. Other than that, it's the emptiness of the vast space. At Grant's request, Fury evacuated all those who had remained at the base. In addition, considering Stark's health situation, Grant asked Fury for another man. With that person here, Stark might recover.
When Grant enters the base, he hears Pepper's grumbling.
"Is it really necessary to come to such a remote place? I'm afraid Tony's condition will worsen. Also, I'm worried about whether the doctor will add to Tony's injury. She's too young. ”
Then it's Roddy comforting Pepper. At this time, Grant came to the two of them.
"Don't worry, Pepper, and Roddy." He laughed and said, "The doctor you're talking about got his Ph.D. when he was a teenager. She is not only the most powerful of her age, but also one of the top people in the world. ”
After saying this, Grant was about to walk to the inside of the base, but he was stopped by Roddy.
"Lee, now there is a situation. We need your advice. ”
It turned out that although the news of Tony Stark's coma had not officially spread, rumors were already spreading. Moreover, being unconscious is just one of the sayings. Some say Stark has been arrested by the FBI for unknown reasons; It is also said that Stark had died in the Monaco incident. How outrageous are all kinds of theories, the most amazing one is that a certain woman who was dumped by Stark back then seduced Stark again after spending a lot of money in a small country in the Far East, and then killed Stark when the clouds were overturning!
As a result, the rumors caused turmoil in Stark Industries' management, a setback in stock prices, and a catastrophe on par with Tony's announcement that he would abandon weapons manufacturing more than half a year ago. The stock price has plunged twice in less than a year, which has affected the interests of many Wall Street predators. In the United States this capital policy. In a highly developed country, the influence of those predators is unimaginably great. If the situation is allowed to deteriorate, a period of time will pass, and when those predators don't want to endure it anymore, I'm afraid that even Iron Man won't be able to save Stark Industries.
"Then let Iron Man appear."
Grant said this calmly, which made both Pepper and Roddy very puzzled.
"Roddy, you put on Stark's steel suit, make a few public appearances, and then have a press conference or something. In front of the reporters, you sign Pepper as CEO of Stark Industries. Didn't Stark Industries already announce it before, and it made a lot of noise. Now it's hot again, the hotter the better, and it's the official signing ceremony. Although the stock price will still fall, at least it will not fall to the bottom. Everyone knows that Pepper has Tony Stark behind him, and Tony Stark is Iron Man. ”
Hearing this seemingly unreliable but quite powerful suggestion, Pepper and Roddy were stunned. Recently, Pepper has received a lot of criticism, and some people even say that she drugged Tony, and such a signing ceremony may have a positive reaction. Therefore, she thought about it very seriously. Next to her, Roddy subconsciously asked.
"Why am I wearing a suit instead of you?"
A strange smile appeared on Grant's face: "If I had to wear it, Stark would have woken up furious." ”
Probably thinking of the same picture, Roddy laughed too. But soon he put back his smile.
"The military has always wanted to get the technology of the suit from Tony through me, and even if I can't get the technology, I want to get the finished suit."
"It's not hard to guess."
Roddy's words are not finished, and the next thing is the point: "Putting aside the pressure I am facing, the current United States cannot afford to lose Iron Man." And I can't think of myself as Tony Stark for the rest of my life - even if I don't have to show up. ”
Now that he has said this, Grant is also serious. After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "I believe that Stark has also been under a lot of pressure from all sides these days, and it must be more pressure than yours. It's just that it's a matter between the two of you, and it's a matter between the two of you, and I can't give you an idea. Still, I give my opinion: aren't there several suits? After Pepper's succession ceremony at the press conference, take it home with an old-fashioned set. I don't know the specific technology of the suit, but I believe that the AI based on Jarvis and the reactor in the chest are also important factors in the reason why Iron Man is Iron Man. You just have to make sure that these two things don't fall into the hands of the military or anyone else, and that's fine. As for the suit itself, what hardware? I don't have a lot of deals with Stark, but I'm sure he wakes up with a million ways to improve and improve. When that happens, it doesn't matter what you take with you. ”
"I see, thank you."
Roddy honestly patted Grant on the shoulder, then turned to lobby Pepper, who was still hesitant. After a few more minutes, Pepper finally made her decision.
"It's not appropriate to delay any longer, I'll send you back immediately." Grant said to the two of them, "You can't just come here after that. If Stark has any updates, I'll let you know on the phone as soon as possible. As for the rest, it's up to you. ”
