Chapter Twenty-Four: Anduin's Conditions (Seeking Reading, Asking for Votes~)
"Pepper, don't worry, tell me more about the situation?" Anduin reassured.
At this point, Pepper's eyelids are puffy and her eyes are red.
Apparently just cried.
Anduin could actually guess that Tony Stark was kidnapped by terrorists in Afghanistan, but he had to make sure to avoid any eventuality.
Pepper didn't have the heart to think about that at this point, she was now full of thoughts about how to save Tony Stark.
"Anduin, you were right in your prediction, Tony did suffer a bloodlight disaster......"
Listening to Pepper's explanation, Anduin also understood the specific things.
It was Tony Stark who went to Afghanistan to participate in the military's procurement of the latest weapon, the Jericho missile, and then left when he was raided and kidnapped by terrorists.
Missing, that's just the Stark Group's claim to the outside world.
The truth is that the terrorists have sent the video of the kidnapping and asked for a large amount of arms and equipment.
Pepper naturally informed the U.S. military of this, but the U.S. military's attitude towards this matter was that we could send people to help you rescue Tony Stark, but it was absolutely impossible to agree to the other party's conditions for extorting arms.
After all, the ultimate purpose of terrorists asking for arms is also to deal with the US military forces in Afghanistan.
But something went wrong.
What is Afghanistan?
There are only endless deserts and mountains, and the terrain is very complicated!
Relying on the small number of US troops stationed in Afghanistan, it is not easy to find someone from the vast desert!
The search and rescue force is completely looking for a needle in a haystack!
At this time, Pepper had a disagreement with the military, and she approached Colonel Rhodes countless times, saying that as long as Tony could be saved, Stark Industries could pay any price, and naturally she would not mind paying such a large amount of arms.
Colonel Rod, as Stark's friend, naturally thinks the same way, but neither Pepper nor Colonel Rhodes can change the order from the Pentagon - it's okay to rescue, but it's not okay to pay for arms!
Even if you can't find Tony Stark, you can't give arms.
Anduin was naturally not the first person Pepper turned to for help, she used almost all of her political influence, but this time the Pentagon's attitude was extremely tough, and it was absolutely impossible to put the arms in the hands of terrorists!
It wasn't until the end, when she really couldn't help it, that she remembered the prophecy Anduin had given Tony earlier, and that Anduin had told her that she could come to him for help.
That's when I came to Anduin with the attitude of giving it a try.
As for suspicion that Anduin instigated it? Totally impossible! A gangster boss who has only recently emerged, how can he have so much energy!
In fact, she didn't have much hope in her heart, Anduin was just a person, even if he could get those gang members to turn themselves in, it would only be a gang.
The army can't find Tony, so what can Anduin do?
……
"Anduin, if you can, please save Tony a little bit......"
After listening to Pepper's cry, Anduin touched his chin.
These news did not appear in the report, it should have been suppressed by the Stark Group, to be precise, by the bald Obadai in the Stark Group.
After all, according to the plot of the movie in his previous life, the mastermind behind Tony Stark's kidnapping was Obadi, who instructed terrorists to do it in order to dominate the Stark Group.
Naturally, he didn't want to take over a shattered Stark Group.
At the time Pepper said, it had been ten days since Tony disappeared.
Tony Stark's original Iron Armor must have been built as well, right?
Anduin has no intention of organizing Tony Stark to become Iron Man.
If Tony Stark hadn't experienced being kidnapped, he would always have been that obnoxious playboy.
However, that Dr. Ethan was a good man, and Anduin didn't mind getting him back.
Anyway, for him, as long as he doesn't completely lose his breath, there is a possibility of treatment.
After thinking about it, Anduin smiled at Pepper.
"Pepper, don't worry about this, if you believe me, this matter will be left to me. However, I have one condition......"
Pepper was like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and he immediately became excited.
She didn't even wait for Anduin to finish saying the conditions, she just agreed.
"Good! I agree with them all! As long as I can save Tony, I will agree to any conditions, and I will give you any amount of money! ”
Who knew Anduin smiled and waved his hand.
"No, I don't want money."
Anduin's words made Pepper stunned for a moment, and then looked at Anduin vigilantly.
"Anduin, what are you going to do?"
Anduin didn't react, but when he saw Pepper's perverted look, he couldn't stop crying and laughing.
It seems that she misunderstood herself.
Anduin likes beautiful women, right.
Although Pepper is not bad, it is not in Anduin's aesthetic point.
He's not even a minotaur!
"Hey! Pepper! What do you think! I just want you to help me sell some of my properties, and then buy all the Stark Group shares in a few days when the stock price falls! Anduin said with a smile in his heart.
"That's it?" Pepper's face turned red.
"That's right, that's it! That's my condition! Anduin nodded firmly.
If it is someone else, who has been missing for more than ten days, there may be no problem, but if it is Tony Stark, even if the news of his disappearance is not announced, I am afraid that there will be well-informed people who can guess some clues from the news.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world.
Tony Stark is the soul of Stark Group, even if he is suspected of disappearing, it will make the stock price of Stark Group usher in a sharp dive or even halve.
In the future, Stark Group's share price will definitely return to the top.
Anduin took the opportunity to make a windfall at this time, which is not too much at all!
Moreover, it is better to give them fish than to give them fish!
There is a first time, there is a second time, as long as you tie up a professional and money-making talent like Pepper, are you afraid of lack of money?
As for why Matt wasn't allowed to do it......
Matt is a lawyer and Daredevil, whether it is for him to fight a lawsuit or to beat someone, but when it comes to making money, Matt is not as good as a professional manager like Pepper, don't you see what the hell Matt was poor before joining Silver Hand!
Although Pepper didn't know where Anduin's confidence came from, she saw Anduin sell his assets and invest in the Stark Group.
She also inexplicably rose a wave of confidence.
Maybe he can really get Tony back!
……
"Okay, I'll promise to help you bring Tony Stark back alive."
"How do you need help? Like a private jet or something? ”
"No, how to bring him back, you don't have to worry about it, just help me deal with my assets!"
After Anduin gave Matt's contact information to Pepper, he wanted to send Pepper away.
Before leaving, Pepper repeatedly checked with Anduin to see if he could really get Tony back.
Anduin could only cry and laugh and repeatedly promise that he would definitely save Tony Stark, and Pepper left the hotel step by step.
The scene of Pepper entering and leaving the hotel was all watched by the intelligence agents in the hotel.
This is the most useful information they have gained so far since they stayed in the hotel for so many days!
Especially Pepper's expression when he came and when he left, for a professional intelligence agency, a lot of useful information can be analyzed!
When the agents sent back to the group the photos they had taken with their high-definition cameras, they woke up suddenly.
"Huh? Aren't we agents of an intelligence organization? Why is it like a paparazzi for a gossip tabloid? ”
They suddenly felt like agents of an intelligence organization, and they didn't seem to be so cool......
