Chapter 44: Investigation of Stark Industries

"Lieutenant Colonel, you have a lot of questions, I don't know which one to answer first, why don't I tell you a story."

"Please, I'm listening."

"Again, my name is Motherland, Tony's previous Ark Reactor was defective and would have poisoned him, you should have observed it as well,"

"Okay, motherland, what you said is very serious, once I helped Tony change the reactor, and found that the thing on his chest was corroded badly, I thought it was a normal reaction."

"Then I had a little idea, and I helped him find a new element, which solved the poisoning problem perfectly, and so a safer Ark Reactor was born, and then I went to another planet, Rod."

"Wow, other planets, you're not drunk, are you, or did I hear me wrong?" Rod didn't believe it at all.

"You heard it right, Rod, because I needed an interstellar flight device, I asked Tony for help, and when I came back, I wanted to see how he was doing, but I didn't expect to receive the news of his death, and then I wanted to find Tony's good friend, that is, you, to find out what was going on at that time, how Ivan killed Tony, why are you okay?"

"Where did you get your suit?" Rhodes was still suspicious of the Motherland.

"This is Tony gave me, has been kept in his house, I just got it not long ago, this suit has the same function as a space suit, Rod will talk about these later, tell me in detail, what happened to you and Tony at that time?"

"After we cleaned up the unmanned robots, Ivan came, he was wearing a battle suit, as if he had put it together improvised, but there were two electrified whip locks, and Tony and I were controlled by him,

Then Tony came up with a trick where the two of us could attack one with an ion cannon that would produce a terrifying explosion that we had done before, and that was unintentionally.

In fact, Ivan was also blown open by the shockwave, he was at the center of the explosion at that time, and the mecha was torn apart, but the person stood there like a nobody, which did not make sense at all

Tony's suits and I restarted in a strong shockwave, and after a while they were unusable, Ivan walked up to Tony and killed him.

You know, I can't do anything while I'm watching.

But his target seemed to be just Tony, and I didn't even look at it.

After Ivan fled, the police arrived, they took control of the scene, and Tony's body was taken by them, along with the suit. ”

"I'm sorry about this, Rod, Tony is a very good friend to me, I'm going to help him get revenge, you?"

"I'll go too, Motherland" Rhodes did not hesitate in the slightest.

"But you're still a lieutenant colonel, and you won't be able to do it after you participated in this matter, maybe you've thought about it in the face of the whole country's wanted?"

"Lieutenant colonel, haha, it's really ironic, army, fuck the army, they can do anything for profit, I'm not a soldier from today onwards, I'm an avenger"

"Well, Rod, I admire your decision to become an Avenger, I have a Compound 5 here, do you want it? It makes you stronger. ”

"What is Compound 5? Motherland"

"You've seen my strength just now, most of it comes from compound 5, just like the serum that made Captain America during World War II, compound 5 can change your genes and make you stronger than ordinary people."

"Give it to me, motherland, at least I won't hold back in the face of Ivan, Ivan may not be an ordinary person anymore, maybe he is also a superpower, because no one can be intact in such an explosion, he is like a monster."

"Rod, listen to me first, it's not too late for you to make a decision, compound 5 is defective, the abilities it gives people are strange, it may not be useful, and you will be at risk of death, you have a day to think about it and decide whether to use it."

"Don't think about it, you can give it to me now, the motherland, and can you let me clean it before I go to Ivan? I was so dirty that I was about to vomit."

"Okay, follow me"

The Motherland and Rhodes rushed to a remote town nearby.

Stark Industrial Park, Pepper sat in the CEO's seat with blank eyes, as if she had lost all her strength.

"Bang bang" There was a sharp knock on the office door.

Pepper frowned, now she was in no mood to deal with work matters, and the secretaries should know about it.

But when the people outside saw that there was no movement inside, the door was opened and a crack was opened, revealing half of his head, which was Harpy.

"BOSS, you haven't watched the news yet, have you?"

"What's going on? Harpy, what's the matter? ”

Harpy grabbed the remote control next to him and turned on the TV, the news was broadcasting an attack on a military base, the "war machine" was lost, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes may have been killed in the attack, it is suspected that Stark Industries' steel suit was involved in the attack, and the military is preparing to scan and seize all the property of Stark Industries, waiting for the matter to be found out.

Pepper was keenly aware of the smell of conspiracy.

"Jarvis, check all the armors in the house"

"Miss Potts, all the suits are in Mr. Stark's safety vault, but there's one more outside, the one that was given to the Motherland not long ago."

"Jarvis, can you find out if it's the military base he attacked?"

"Miss Potts, the coordinates sent back by the Motherland coincide with the coordinates of the military base where the attack took place, but it is not certain that he attacked the military base"

"What?"

Pepper was pondering what was going on when she was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.

"The boss, the military, the FBI, and the state police are here, and they are going to search the entire Stark industry, and they threaten to go to Mr. Stark's house and open the code door, or they will open it with a cannonball." The secretary walked in the door and made a quick report.

Little Pepper didn't expect the military to act so quickly, can the process of signing and approving the search warrant be so fast? It seems to have been premeditated.

Pepper had no idea if he and Stark Industries would survive this.

The office was slammed open with a bang, the third time, Pepper thought to herself, and then walked in a group of people in military uniforms, their expressions were serious, and they looked like I was going to stare at you with my eyes.

The leader took out an A4 piece of paper from his purse.

"Miss Potts, we are investigating this attack on the military base, we have to check all the information about Stark Industries, including the Warframe in Stark's house, we suspect that the Steel Warframe was used in this attack, please cooperate with our work to assist in the investigation."

Seeing that the person on the other side was not good, Harpy hurriedly protected Pepper behind him.

Pepper pretended to be very calm and walked to the front, signaling that she would cooperate.
