Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Hundred Meters of Faith Leap Only Takes One Grass
"Mr. Stark! What caused you to make such an irrational decision? ”
"Mr. Stark! Don't you understand what the arms sector means to Stark Industries? ”
"Mr. Stark......"
Stark Industries, press conference room.
It's late at night, but it's bustling with people.
Journalists from almost all of New York's media outlets are here.
Originally, it should have been full of resentment when I was called up to work in the middle of the night, but now, the faces of the reporters here are all full of enthusiasm, and they all raise their hands, wanting to make themselves more noticeable.
It's not because they're serious about their work, it's because they're here at Stark Industries' press conference.
The official press conference requested by Tony Stark, who disappeared before and whose fate is unknown!
So, naturally, most of these reporters are beautiful women with good looks and figures, dressed ...... They all can't wait to highlight the best side of their figures.
After all, Tony Stark's "merry" attribute is well known to everyone, in case he can be looked at, and then get along overnight......
Let's not talk about it, if you can get first-hand valuable news, even if you just get a small gift, or something else, then you can't make a loss!
But now, they don't pay attention to this, because Tony Stark, who came back alive at the press conference, announced a news-
He wants to close down the weapons department of Stark Industries, and stop all weapons-related research and development, production, and trading operations, effective immediately, with no time limit, until he redefines the future development direction of Stark Industries!
As journalists, even if most of them have the idea of using their bodies as a way to climb up and exchange benefits, they will not have such a bad professional acumen that they can't think of the stormy waves that Tony's announcement is about to set off.
Stark Industries!
The first military-industrial complex in the United States!
Although there are other departments, the weapons department is definitely the top priority, and it can be regarded as the cornerstone of Stark Industries.
And now, the president of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, has announced that he is shutting it down!
There is no doubt that he can definitely do that.
But why?
This is as outrageous as Facebook's sudden termination of all social software servers, Microsoft's cancellation of all system updates, maintenance and development, Hollywood's announcement to suspend all TV series and movie shooting, and Blizzard's announcement to stop all game operations!
In short, Stark Industries is going to shut down the weapons department, and this is super big news like never before!
"Haha, Tony is probably a little confused because of the hard work......"
Obadiah on the side smiled kindly and leaned over to the microphone to explain, but unfortunately no one wanted to listen to him at this time.
In the eyes of others, this old man must have wanted to scold his mother, and this smiling face was just a disguise, trying to make them distrust what Ni had just said.
If you think about it, you know that this is definitely not going to succeed.
Now, even if Tony himself denies it, these reporters will grasp on the point he said before and spend a lot of time.
However, the smile on Obadiah's face was genuine.
All right.
It's good to close the weapons department.
As soon as this news spreads, the stock price, which would have rebounded, will definitely plummet again.
Shareholders who are reluctant to sell their shares because of Tony's return will surely be disappointed and take the opportunity to sell their shares.
And Obadia's plan, which had been stalled for a while, can now be implemented again!
Perfect!
Therefore, Obadiah was naturally happy.
He even needs to deliberately distract himself from controlling his expression, not to appear too happy, so as not to let others notice that something is wrong.
Fortunately, his acting skills are very superb, and he successfully interprets that reluctant smile expression.
However, as he heard Tony's next sentence, he really couldn't laugh a little.
"Quiet!" Tony lifted his hand and pressed down, and everyone fell silent.
"In addition to the decision to close Stark's Industrial Weapons Department, I need to make an important announcement, and that is-
Stark Industries is about to face an investigation by the IRS Action Commissioner due to tax issues, and according to relevant information, it is the IRS that has detected the illegal income generated by the arms trade that is not registered and its tax evasion, and I will fully cooperate with the ......."
The smile on Obadia's face, which had just been deliberately suppressed, froze completely.
A great panic rose from his heart.
It was like the sound in the conference room, and it suddenly exploded.
……
Mr. Lin...... This...... It should be normal, right? Peter asked, looking at his hand with some hesitation.
"Do you think that a person who should not have been able to lift a 50-kilogram barbell yesterday can now pick up a 100-kilogram barbell with one hand...... Is it normal? ”
Lin Yu asked rhetorically.
"This kind of weight, even a professional weightlifter who soaks in the gym every day, can't pick it up with one hand and play casually!"
"So what do I do now?" Peter panicked.
At this moment, he is holding a barbell in his right hand, and two 25kg barbell plates are hanging on each side, which is a huge bar in stark contrast to his tall and thin body.
But Peter really didn't feel any weight...... Or maybe there is weight, but for him, it's not much different from the day before, when he was holding an ordinary wooden stick.
Peter thought it was weird.
I think it's weird because there is a sense of differentiation, and this differentiation comes from a "habit" that has been cultivated in the past ten years.
It can be roughly described as this-
[Eyes + Brain: This thing looks very heavy at first glance, and I can't pick it up at all.]
Hand: What are you talking about?
Eyes + Brain: "?!" ”】
"What else can I do? Are you going to go to the hospital and then become the new human of the 21st century and appear in all kinds of newspapers, and then be targeted by various forces and laboratories and the like, and grab and slice it? Lin Yu asked him.
"No!" Peter was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly, "That's terrible! ”
"So, you need to learn to control your powers, Peter." Lin Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed the barbell in Peter's hand, lifted it, and put it back on the stand, "Otherwise, you are very likely to hurt others when you are not familiar with your strength, or cause some irreparable losses." ”
"I see...... Mr. Lin! Do you too? Peter was shocked.
"No, I'm not like you, I'm just a little bit stronger, not as strong as you." Lin Yu decisively shook his head and denied it.
He was able to do this because he activated the assassin bloodline, which was incomparable to the little spider, which could pull trains and ships.
If only the Assassin bloodline could really give him a hundred-meter leap of faith with just a single piece of grass...... In this case, I'm afraid that the physical fitness is really similar to that of a little spider, right?
Anyway, Lin Yu didn't want to try, he didn't want to be like a generation of spiders - "Oh, my back!" ”
Peter: "......"
For some reason, he always felt that Lin Yu was fooling him.
Is that a weird, intuitive feeling?
However, Lin Yu is for his good, and Peter is quite clear about this.
