Chapter 217: Battle Book [Four Watches No. 1]
It was really a very old business card, and the paper was very ordinary, just like two books printed at the same time, and the books that were often flipped through and the books that were put on the shelves for decoration and treasured could be seen at a glance, and this business card was obviously often held in the hands of people for many years and repeatedly looked at and caressed.
Listening to Adridge Killian's words and seeing this business card again, Tony Stark's memories were like a box that had been opened, and dusty memories came to his mind in a trance for a while.
I remember that thirteen years ago, there was indeed a down-and-out man who handed him a business card like this, and Tony Stark couldn't remember the details, even the man's face. This kind of thing has happened too much since Tony Stark took over Stark Enterprise.
All kinds of scientific teams, all kinds of scientists, desperately squeezed his time to pick up girls at the banquet he attended, and peddled their scientific and technological research to him, hoping to get his funding.
But how is this possible?
Those men were not beautiful women, nor did they have the talent and talent to amaze him. A beautiful scientist can still have an unforgettable ** fate with him, but invest in other people's scientific and technological research? In Tony's heart, it is better to invest in his own drought and flood income.
So Tony Stark never remembers these people, let alone these things, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a Maya Hansen in the first place, and the information he recently gathered allowed him to remember, he probably still couldn't think of such a person as Adridge Killian back then.
"I remember you had a bad leg." Tony Stark thought back for a long time, and could only recall one thing that made him feel a little impressed.
"Technology is evolving, Tony." Adridge Killian smiled and tilted his head: "And haughty as you would never pay attention to this." ”
"Killian invested in my research, Tony, the one I told you about in the first place. We succeeded in developing it and making it available. As well as finding a seller for it. Maya Hansen on the side held her hand and released it left and right, picking up Adridge Killian's words.
"Then we'll wait until we talk," Tony made a stop gesture to Maya Hansen, looked back at Adridge Killian and said, "You're not still angry about what happened in Switzerland, are you?" ”
"Of course not, how could I be mad at you, Tony? You gave me a great gift, despair! Adridge Killian smiled hard. I want to make myself as light as possible, and I don't care about it: "You told me back then, let me wait for you on the rooftop, you will come over, and then invest in me who is poor." ”
"The first twenty minutes, I really thought you were back. But for the next hour, I really wanted to take a shortcut to the hotel lobby, you know what I mean? Jump off the roof and bang! ”
Adridge Killian said as he made an explosive gesture with both hands. "But luckily I didn't take the shortcut that didn't lead to a loop. Because when I finally looked at the city from the top of the building, I hesitated. It was there that I felt that deep despair. ”
"I want to be famous, as famous as you, but no one knows me, no one remembers me; I want to succeed, at least as successful as you do, but I'm still worried about where to find another big one. A research grant was pulled from him. ”
"I wanted to be a big guy, but you made me realize once again that I'm still the little guy who can be played around by you guys like the clown."
"How do you think I can die? Why should I die if I have not done anything? The thought of my death may only be a tabloid corner with a small piece of tofu and a dry and cold name. Even when I was only talked about as a joke by a few people for a while, and then I fell silent, I felt cold! ”
"I have to thank you for making me realize that I have nothing. A person who has nothing and nothing to lose will always give up for a certain idea. ”
"I've wanted to see you all these years. But I always feel that the time is not right. One more thing I want to thank you is for closing Stark's weapons research and sales department and subsequently taking down Hammer. If it weren't for that, my AIM wouldn't be at the scale it is today. ”
"Don't thank me." Tony Stark rolled his finger: "I know you have a close relationship with the military over the years, and recently got on board with S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't want to know anything about you and Trask's splitting up his order, but I'm still not going to accept your invitation, and we still have a settling point to settle between us. ”
"I knew you would say that." Adridge Killian laughed: "But that's fun, isn't it?" For the sake of a talented and talented weapons scientist like you, I'd be happy to fight a long fight to get you to work for me. ”
"That's a dream, Stark only works for Stark, let alone before the account between us is settled." Tony Stark said with a blank face.
Maya Hansen and Pepper Potts were two women watching the two of them nervously, their eyes full of sorrow and worry. After Tony's words ended, Maya Hansen stepped forward and said to Tony, "Does the account refer to your former bodyguard, Mr. Harpy?" ”
Tony glanced at her.
"I've seen the reports of you speaking in the hospital, and Miss Potz has told me about it, but it should have been an accident." Maya Hansen said, "We didn't mean anything about you and the people around you, didn't we mean it? ”
Maya Hansen then turned her gaze to Adridge Killian, as if she wanted to get echo and affirmation from him.
"Of course, but if Mr. Stark is always so uncooperative, I don't mind playing with him." Adridge Killian said with a smile to Maya Hansen. After saying that, Killian straightened his shirt and continued, "Let's stop here today, although I really want to do something at the moment, the venue is a little out of place. Tony, we'll definitely meet again, and you'll definitely bow to me, take this business card, I'll be waiting for you. ”
Tony still turned a blind eye to the business card that Adridge Killian handed over again, but Adridge Killian smiled good-naturedly, stuffed the old business card into Tony's pocket, and patted it gently through the pocket: "The world is changing so fast, isn't it?" The alien who fell from the sky with a hammer and his brother turned the world upside down, and you never imagined what incredible enemies would appear in this world in the next moment, and what ridiculous and crazy things would happen. ”
"Hopefully the next time we meet, we'll be so friendly and calm. But I guess that's going to be hard, isn't it? Goodbye Tony, and Pepper, you're getting prettier. (To be continued......)
