Chapter 183: Press Conference
Hearing Adam's words, Christine was moved and said: "As long as you are always with me, I will be satisfied, I am already the happiest woman in the world." β
Adam didn't speak, quietly hugged Christine and enjoyed the scene, after hearing from the Phoenix Girl that the earth might be in big trouble in twenty years, Adam knew that he could no longer continue to be so leisurely, and he had to speed up the pace of absorbing solar energy so that he could strengthen himself. Therefore, he knew that his days with Christine in the future were likely to be shortened a lot.
At this time, Athena appeared and said, "Sorry to bother you, master, I have completed my mission and made an agreement with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Council, they have accepted my apology, and agreed to organize a meeting of the leaders of the world's superpowers, of course, for fear of accidents, they asked for this meeting to be held online." β
Adam nodded and said, "Well done, Athena, as for the meeting between the superpowers, if you continue to follow up, I will find time to meet with them as soon as possible after dealing with this matter, after all, there doesn't seem to be much time left for us." β
Athena smiled and said, "Understood, master, by the way, did you leave?" The press conference will begin in half an hour. β
Adam nodded and said, "I know, I'll change my clothes and go, by the way, inform Susan, I will only answer three questions from reporters, let him talk to reporters before the meeting starts, and strengthen the security." β
When Athena heard this, she said, "I understand, I'll inform Susan." After saying that, he disappeared.
About half an hour later, the hall dedicated to the press conference in the Dawning Building was filled with reporters from several major American media outlets and some reporters from other countries' branches in the United States, talking about what happened today.
A relatively short, very obscene-looking reporter looked at Susan who was busy at the front desk. "Hey, what do you think Adam Stark would explain what he did today?" Could it be that you are controlled by something or something? β
The NCC reporter snorted coldly and said, "What is there to guess about this?" If he hadn't been contained, how could he have done such a thing. β
The obscene reporter shook his head and said, "I don't think much about it, it must be that he has been a hero for a long time, so let's just go out and vent."
The American reporter listened: "Hmph, don't say more if you don't know, with Adam Stark's financial resources, if he wants to play something else." I don't need my superpowers at all, hmph, he's not you boring Orientals."
After the British reporter saw it, he smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you don't have to blame him for smearing Superman, because their country has no superheroes except for endurance and killers, but they worship superheroes very much, so this country is a little unhappy that his own nation worships superheroes from other countries." β
In this way, the reporters ridiculed and belittled each other. Susan suddenly quieted them down with a gesture and said, "All right, gentlemen, ladies. Mr. Adam Stark has arrived at the Dawning Tower, the press conference is about to begin, please keep the meeting in order, and this time Adam Stark is here to explain what happened today. So don't ask something inconsequential, because he only answers three questions, so don't waste your precious opportunity for a while. With that, he walked outside.
Soon Adam and Susan. The chief of the New York Police Department walked into the conference room together, and then sat in the front seat, and then Adam simply told what happened, apologized to all the people very calmly and publicly, and said one of his plans.
β??? I'm really sorry for what happened before, and I didn't expect to be infected (in order not to cause panic among the people, Adam lied that he was calculated to have been infected with a special chemical drug by the enemy during last night's rescue operation. After all, hell or something, saying it will only make people in the religious world more crazy, and ordinary people will be full of fear), so that something like this happened, and after my reflection, I found that our city has recently suffered a lot because of the superheroes in the battle to capture the bad guys, so I decided to set up a superhero backup fund with 100 million dollars privately, so as to reduce the losses of the government and the people. β
After Adam finished speaking, New York Police Commissioner George Stacy also said something, which probably means that the police believe that this matter is not out of Adam Stark's original intention, they have had a tacit understanding a long time ago, of course, what he said is true, Adam Stark can be said to be one of the superheroes with the best relationship with the police, as for several other superheroes, except for Spider-Man, they are very violent, and they beat each other seriously at every turn, which makes the police very angry, Feel that the other person is challenging their bottom line.
After George Stacey finished speaking, Susan suggested that the next session begins, so that reporters can ask Adam or George Stacy a few questions, and when they hear that they can finally ask questions, all the reporters are in high spirits and raise their hands one after another, wanting to attract Adam's attention, and Adam casually selected CC TV's correspondent in the United States.
The reporter was slightly stunned when he saw it, then stood up and asked unhurriedly: "Excuse me, Mr. Adam Stark, how much influence did the chemical drug you said before have on you, and if it was an ordinary person at the time, what kind of reaction would the other party have?" Will you completely follow the arrangements of others? β
After hearing this, Adam said: "This is not a problem for you, forget it, don't embarrass you, the kind of chemical I said before, I have checked its composition, it seems to be extracted from the seeds of a kind of flower that only exists in legends, but because this flower grows in the extremely cold underground, there is no way for ordinary people to pick it, so you can rest assured, there are no such chemicals, after I return to normal, immediately go to their base, Destroy all the fantasy mandalas. β
In a super villa on Long Island, New York, a young man in a casual dress watched the movie lightly, and after hearing Adam's remarks above, he said: "Hehe, this Adam Stark is really going to talk nonsense with his eyes open." β
Next to him was a middle-aged man, who heard the young man's words and said, "Don't forget that in addition to being a superhero, he is also a businessman!" A genius businessman who can be considered a self-made man. If he couldn't even say such a call, then he would have been bankrupt by someone else. β
The young man laughed and said, "Piero, what do you think about this?" β
The middle-aged man, known as Piero, said: "There must be some factors in this that he doesn't want ordinary people to know, and CardΓ¨s, I don't think our enemy is him." β
After hearing this, CaddΓ¨s chuckled and said, "You might as well just say that we are not his opponents, Piero, don't you worry, I'm not that stupid,." I didn't intend to be his enemy, although he sabotaged my operation yesterday, but it was also because I underestimated Tony Stark, I didn't expect that as Superman's younger brother, he was actually not simple, and he discovered the traces of nine foxes in advance, so that our operation failed. β
Piero nodded and said, "That's right, I think Adam Stark has too many secrets, and his strength is too strong. We had to change our strategy. β
While continuing to stare at the TV and listening to the question and answer between the reporter and Adam, Caddis said, "Yes, we are not in a hurry, we still have a chance." β
Piero asked, "That's right." Caddes, I've heard the news that some bears from the north are going to make trouble this year's Stark year, should we leak this news to Tony Stark? β
CaddΓ¨s thought for a moment. "Well, it's better for me to do it myself, Tony Stark, though he seems to be a playboy." It's very unreliable, but in fact, he is a shrewd and capable guy like his brother, and if we go around the bush to reveal this news, it will attract the attention of the other party, so I might as well say it directly. β
Piero said, "Well, that's fine, after all, you're friends, aren't you?" β
When Caddes saw that the press conference was over, he turned off the TV and said, "Yes, we are friends, friends in business!" In fact, I really want someone who can really be friends with me, but unfortunately, my status and identity are destined to be lonely forever in this life! After saying that, he turned around and left the living room, and walked up to the second floor with steady steps.
After listening to the young man's emotion, Piero sighed softly and said: "Yes, born in such a family, you can't have any true friends, but it's also good, at least there will be no weaknesses!" β
On the other side, after the press conference, Adam said to George Stacey: "Thank you for defending me this time, I'm really sorry for you."
Because some of today's victims, or some of the people who have been bewitched, went to the police station to report the case, saying that they asked the police to arrest Adam Stark, just after George Stacey in the police station heard it, he knew that this matter was definitely not a normal thing, so he mobilized the police in the police station to strictly investigate the incident, and arrested some suspects before Adam returned to normal, and gave an explanation for Adam's matter, of course, The police department's note says that there's a good chance that Adam Stark is being controlled by some evil mutant, and that he shouldn't make a fuss until things are figured out.
George Stacey smiled all his life and said: "You have always been helping us before, and this time, it is obvious that someone wants to fish in troubled waters, so we dragged these guys out, and they are all gangsters or thieves." They all say that they can't get used to you, so they do this, but I think there are still articles in it. There's a good chance they'll do something more, so you'd better keep an eye on it."
Adam nodded and said, "I see, thank you for the reminder, I know who wants to fix me." β
After hearing this, George Stacey said: "In this case, then I am relieved, I believe that you can handle these things, of course, we still welcome you to lock up the criminals and our prison." β
Adam smiled and said, "No problem, as long as I have evidence, I will hand over the criminal and the evidence to you, and let the other party be punished!" After saying that, he personally sent George Stace out of the Dawning Building, and then returned home and went to sleep with Christine in his arms. (To be continued......)
