Chapter 166: Controversy
When Tony opted out of the Avengers and chose to run for president, a new wave of public opinion overshadowed all the previous unfavorable news.
After all, the mainland of the United States did not suffer much harm this time, and the voices of individual protests were drowned out in the crowd.
The World Tree Building is still being rebuilt, and many people will spontaneously hold flowers in front of the building's broken gate.
They can all see the efforts of Luke and his party, compared to the dirty plans and disgusting human experiments of governments and international organizations behind them, the World Tree Group behaves like a charity company.
After all, companies that don't exploit employees are too rare, the group's tech department is built on Banner and others, and the arms department is finally no longer besieged by the masses and the media, and Tony proves that shutting down the arms department does not directly lead to peace.
In this regard, Luke said: It all depends on peers!
On the Helicarrier, the Avengers are clearly divided into two factions, and the emergence of the Sokovia Agreement is destined to cause a gap in everyone's hearts.
"Tony, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still here, we can act in concert with S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no need to completely expose the operation to the eyes of various governments!"
Steve said sincerely.
Tony shook his head, "We should be regulated, not let things go, and that often ends up being ugly." β
Steve couldn't help but shake his head, "Tony, you can't give in because of a mistake, we should continue to act independently of governments, and no one will blame you." β
"But I'll blame myself!"
Tony pointed his finger at Steve's chest, "Maya Hansen, Dr. Helen Zhao, and many more people who died because of me!" I'll blame myself! β
"Oh my God! When will we find out what we are wrong? β
The faces of the crowd were a little embarrassed, they had rarely seen Tony so out of control.
Steve looked at the reactor on Tony's chest, sorted out his expression, and said, "We shouldn't compromise on this, you know the faces of those politicians." β
"That's why I chose to run for president!"
Tony's answer remained firm and powerful.
Steve shook his head slightly and said, "Tony, the president can't change anything, you know that." β
"At least I worked on it! What about you? Hiding behind Luke as a shrunken turtle? β
Tony said angrily.
Steve was silent, and Rod got up to comfort Tony.
"Tony, don't do this, Captain, don't be angry."
Then he stretched out his dark finger and pointed to the document on the table, and said, "At least it hasn't become an official version yet, and we can take the opportunity to change some favorable regulations, right?" β
Tony turned to his chair, crossed his arms, and said, "I'm not going to change any of the regulations, I'll make this thing public tomorrow morning." β
"I've reached out to Ross and he's got his back."
"Rose?" Steve's face was a little unhappy, "The villain general? Would you choose to work with him? β
"Humph!" Tony sneered, "At least he's more flexible than you!" β
Steve looked at Tony solemnly and said, "Tony, we should have a stand!" β
"What position?"
"It's our stand!"
Hearing this, Tony smiled disdainfully, "You should have found out, our position is very awkward, the Avengers said that they were cooperating with S.H.I.E.L.D., but in fact they belonged to Luke's control, I don't know what deal Agent Peggy made with Luke, so that she could die with all her heart!" β
"But such a model lake position! Very wrong! We should accept official cooperation and try to be as pure as possible! β
"Luke isn't the kind of man behind the scenes you think! He's a good guy! β
Steve replied.
"Good people don't have to obey the law?"
Tony retorted.
"Calm down, two."
Ellen, who had never had a sense of presence, stood up and said, "You forgot Luke's attitude. β
"Maybe it's a difference in perspective, I think this agreement of yours, if Luke doesn't agree, it must not pass."
"Because you also enveloped Luke's team in this agreement, but they are not Avengers."
"So they need to be regulated even more!"
Tony replied.
"Huh!" Ellen smiled, "What do you think?" Do you think the man named the Black King who dared to kidnap you and drop a nuclear bomb over Washington's head would be willing to accept the regulation? β
"You're too naΓ―ve."
"He really owns a country, he's the most powerful power in the world, how do you get him to be regulated?"
Tony was asked.
Oh, yes? With Luke's character, he will definitely not agree, Tony has not discussed it before, and if he doesn't fight at that time, it will be considered to give face.
The crowd fell silent, and Tony looked at the papers on the table, unable to speak for a long time.
Suddenly, the door was opened, and Yelena walked in.
"Yo? Why is it so lively? Got a mission again? β
Yelena asked curiously.
Tony glanced at him and didn't speak.
Instead, Vision got up and asked, "Yelena, Luketa, what do you think of the Sokovia Agreement?" β
"What do you think? Of course, you can see it with your eyes! β
Yelena replied with a smile.
Rod shook his head helplessly and said, "We are asking Luke what his attitude is!" β
"Attitude? Oh! Oh! β
Yelena nodded, "The boss said that the agreement is good and far-sighted, and when the special things are gradually normalized, special laws are needed to regulate it." β
"After all, there may not have been a crime of commercial espionage hundreds of years ago!"
"He, that's what he said?"
Tony asked with some hesitation.
"Mm-hmm, of course I said that."
Yelena nodded, and Tony's gaze turned to Ellen, who twitched the corners of her mouth and sat honestly in her chair without speaking.
"It seems that the last piece of the puzzle has appeared."
Tony said as he looked at Steve.
Steve shook his head slightly, "Luke can't represent us yet, and the agreement can't be promoted." β
Tony smiled, then looked at Yelena with a clear look, and said, "What has Luke been doing lately?" I see how the construction of his building has stopped, as if he is building something else? β
Yelena frowned in confusion, "Didn't you watch the news?" β
"The boss plans to open a World Tree Group exhibition in person, and now he is temporarily suspended to build a hall."
"Exhibitions?" Tony was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Jarvis? β
"It's true, it's been publicized for two days, and the news has repeatedly mentioned words such as cross-era, group president, magic potion, etc., as well as the full support of the military."
"Miracle potion? Did they get the Super Soldier Serum Elixir out? β
Tony wondered, everyone remembered the appearance of Dr. Zola before.
"No, that thing is so valuable, it can't be sold!"
Yelena smiled mysteriously, "You'll know tomorrow!" β
Tony and Steve glanced at each other with a sharp eye, and inexplicably felt some speculation, right?
