Chapter 142: Nick Fury's Little Abacus
Smack!
Tony Stark had just opened a can of Coke before he could pour it down his throat to dispel the exhaustion and the feeling of thirst in his throat.
But he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Tony, there's an urgent matter for you to take care of."
The sound outside the door made Tony Stark unable to selectively ignore it.
Because, that's the voice that belongs to Pepper Potts.
In this world, Pepper Potts is a person that Tony Stark can never ignore, and his status is no less than that of his dead parents.
Since the accident at the last Stark Tech Expo, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts have formalized their relationship.
Therefore, Tony Stark, who was originally very attentive, will also treat Pepper Potts wholeheartedly from now on.
I saw Tony Stark shake his head helplessly, still put down the can in his hand, and then said in the direction of the door:
"Come in, Pepper, what's the hurry? Could it be that it's that old and immortal bastards who want to come up with some kind of bullshit acquisition? ”
After getting Tony Stark's permission, Pepper Potts also pushed the door in.
Pepper Potts, who was wearing a well-fitting dark blue women's suit, looked more radiant at the moment, and had the temperament of a strong woman.
Seeing that Tony Stark also had a smug look in his eyes, he felt that his vision was really good.
However, next, Pepper Potts brought absolutely bad news to Tony Stark.
"It's a pity that this emergency has nothing to do with the company's business, and I don't think it's a good habit to curse the company's shareholders in private."
Tony Stark shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"If those old undead bastards were willing to sit there with their mouths shut and obediently collect money, of course I wouldn't scold them."
"But who made them make stupid suggestions with brains that aren't much bigger than walnuts?"
"Forget it, don't mention those unhappy guys, what's going on?"
Pepper Potts also came to sit down in front of Tony Stark at this time.
"Here's the thing, a stranger just broke into Stark Mansion and said he wanted to see you by name!"
Tony Stark's hands smacked at the same time.
There was a dull glint in his eyes.
"My avid fan again? Let the guards blast him out! I already kind of hate these crazy fans, and I don't need to treat them too favorably, just do what I want. ”
However, Pepper Potts told Tony Stark with a helpless expression that things were a little different from what he thought.
"If only things were really that simple, you can take a look at this surveillance video first!"
Next, Pepper Potts also handed over a tablet like clear glass to Tony Stark.
Tony Stark also frowned slightly at this time, knowing that something was unusual.
"Let me see."
Next, a video began to play on the glass tablet.
The content of the video is very simple, first of all, a very ordinary lobby surveillance video, which is the scene of the lobby on the first floor of the Stark Industrial Building.
However, after a few seconds, a change suddenly appeared.
I saw a blonde hunk suddenly rush in from outside the Stark Industrial Building.
Then, the blonde hunk stood in the middle of the crowded hall, his mouth wide open as if he was shouting.
It's just that because there is no sound in this surveillance video, Tony Stark doesn't know what the blonde hunk is shouting.
What happened next in the surveillance footage was a bit violent.
The guards who were responsible for maintaining order immediately surrounded the blonde hunk and wanted to pull the blonde hunk to the small black room to talk.
It's just that the blonde macho man obviously has no patience, and directly lifted those unlucky guards one by one, and threw them all away, instantly frightened the onlookers and fled screaming, and the scene suddenly became a pot of porridge.
It's no wonder that Pepper Potts came to Tony Stark in such distress, and if he couldn't control the situation, he would have to use heavy firepower to suppress the blonde hunk.
By that time, it will kill people!
However, at this time, Tony Stark recognized it at a glance.
The blonde hunk turned out to be someone he knew.
Although it was only a one-sided relationship, I didn't even have time to say the first half of the sentence.
Tony Stark also remembers the blonde macho guy he had last seen in a remote town in New Mexico with the self-proclaimed god.
"Damn...... How did this guy end up in our Stark Industries building all of a sudden? Hasn't he already returned to heaven a long time ago? ”
At this time, Tony Stark's subconscious words surprised Pepper Potts even more.
"What? Do you know each other? No wonder this inexplicable guy yells to see you as soon as he appears! ”
"Screaming to see me? No way, he shouldn't know me! ”
"What the hell is going on? I've been a little confused by you. ”
Finally, at Pepper Potts' repeated requests, Tony Stark took a moment to explain the ins and outs of the matter to her.
When Pepper Potts heard that the blonde macho man in the video was actually the legendary Thor, he was also extremely surprised and covered his mouth.
Although Pepper Potts has seen a lot of storms, superpowers, genetic mutations, and super geniuses often appear around her.
However, she was the only one who could not have imagined that she would see a god one day, and she would still be a living god.
This world ...... It's really crazy.
"So what are we going to do now? That's Thor, if it's not handled properly, will it cause any serious interstellar conflict events? ”
Pepper Potts expressed a sense of concern.
However, in the end, it was Tony Stark who was calm enough.
I saw him wave his big hand and make a decision immediately.
"Don't worry, let me go and meet him in person, since the other party wants to see me by name, there must be a reason."
"Let's hope it won't be a bad thing! Today my luck ...... It's a bit bad! ”
After Tony Stark decided to meet Thor in person, the two immediately left for the hall on the first floor.
At this time, the hall on the first floor has become a confrontation scene with a very strong smell of gunpowder.
I saw armed men with loaded guns and ammunition lining up in a staggered and orderly tactical formation, surrounding Thor Thor.
"The people inside, one last warning, immediately put down their weapons, lie down on the spot and surrender!"
Thor also had a confused expression on his face at this time.
He never imagined that he would just push away a few impolite little guards and cause so many heavily armed guys to appear.
The people on Midgard's side are too grumpy, aren't they?
As for making such a big move?
If I let my father know, I am afraid that I will inevitably be scolded again when I go back to the Asgardian Divine Domain!
Just as Thor, the god of thunder, was scratching his head, wondering very much about whether he should put down his weapon and resolve the misunderstanding.
Suddenly, a voice came from above his head.
"Everyone's gone! It's just a small misunderstanding, and I'll deal with it next! ”
Thor subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Only then did I find that a figure wearing red and gold steel armor was holding a beautiful woman falling from the sky.
It just happened to fall in front of him.
Boom!
Tony Stark, who is transformed as Iron Man, opens the steel visor and puts down Pepper Potts in his arms.
Next, Pepper Potts went to evacuate the crowd and let the armed men who had been attacked retreat first.
In the end, Tony Stark also waved to Thor helplessly.
"Thor, huh? Come with me, don't get me in trouble in the future, you can call me if you have something, or send me an email! ”
Thor, the god of thunder, also regained his bright smile at this time, because Baxman said that if you find Tony Stark, you can find Nick Fury.
Now that counted, his task is half accomplished.
"What does it mean to make a phone call? Is sending an email a letter? It's too slow to think that you Midgardians are still using such backward methods to keep in touch. ”
In this regard, Tony Stark could only pat his head helplessly.
Talking about these common-sense topics with this alien who has never lived on Earth is indeed something he can't think of.
……
……
"What? Did Baxter Man ask you to come to me? ”
Tony Stark snapped to his feet.
"That's right, that's what the Bxmman brothers told me."
Thor was sitting on the couch, sipping a cold can of beer.
After a few moments, Tony Stark reluctantly sat down again.
"Humph! I'm definitely going to have to claim compensation from that guy in the future, I've wasted so much time. ”
Although Tony Stark doesn't want to deal with aliens like Thor.
But for Peter's sake, Tony Stark decided to pull the strings out of this.
Soon, in Tony Stark's office, a video conference was initiated.
When the video conference unfolded, Nick Fury was also a little surprised by Thor's appearance.
However, when Nick Fury learned that Thor was brought back by Baxman, he reacted similarly to Tony Stark.
Moreover, when Thor offered to borrow the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Nick Fury's eyes flickered, and he did not refuse at the first time.
Instead, he talked to Thor about the conditions.
In the end, a consensus was reached between the two sides.
That is, Thor has to help S.H.I.E.L.D. solve some small problems, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. will lend the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Nick Fury is not a good guy either.
Even if he knew that this cosmic cube would most likely be lent to Thor, the god of thunder, it was impossible to lend it for nothing.
We have to find a way to get paid!
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. must not afford to suffer.
"Is the Cosmic Cube really going to be lent out? The total amount of energy contained in this thing has not been explored so far, so wouldn't it be too dangerous to lend it? ”
Agent Hill on the side looked at Nick Fury with a puzzled expression after turning off the video call.
"It's true that I can borrow, but I haven't decided when to borrow it yet."
Nick Fury blinked his one eye, and there was a hint of cunning in the depths of his eye.
And Agent Hill is also worthy of Nick Fury's trusted right-hand man, and he instantly understood Nick Fury's intentions.
To put it simply, Nick Fury is going to dry Thor first.
As long as it can be delayed enough, then the research work on the cosmic Rubik's Cube can be completed in time.
And in the process, Thor became a temporary employee of S.H.I.E.L.D.
You'll have to help S.H.I.E.L.D. solve some troubles.
Therefore, as long as it can be handled properly, then everyone can be happy, and no one will suffer.
It's a pity that even if Nick Fury runs out of tricks, he probably can't imagine that he will ...... What a terrible disaster the Cosmic Cube will bring to this world.
If he had known this earlier, I'm afraid that Nick Fury would have agreed to hand over the Cosmic Cube to Thor immediately.
In this way, countless innocent lives may be saved, so that the brutal battle of New York will not be started.
But everything is predetermined, the timeline and the law of cause and effect are things that cannot be easily changed, and the bigwigs of all parties are already waiting for the start of the New York War.
This will ensure that the cause and effect of Thanos' defeat in the future will not be changed.
As the saying goes, there must be an effect, if Thanos was defeated as an effect, then the opening of the Battle of New York was the cause.
This is also what the Supreme Mage of the Ancient One has been doing.
……
……
A week after Peter threw the hot potato of Thor, the god of thunder, to Tony Stark to deal with.
Celestial Industries has completed a second Starship launch.
It's just that because of the successful case of the first Starship launch, the popularity on the Internet is not as good as before.
Not much attention has been paid to Celestial Industries' second Starship launch.
Even if the launch was successful in the end, it didn't stir up too many waves.
Because the achievements of the Celestial Industries in various fields are too high, everyone is used to the success of the Celestial Industries.
If there is any day when the news of the failure of the Celestial Industry comes out, I am afraid that it will be able to arouse the curiosity of the public even more.
Fortunately, Peter didn't need to rebuild the momentum this time.
So, even if no one pays attention, it doesn't matter anything.
For, now that Peter had no distractions at all to pay attention to the outside world, what awaited him at this time was a very important thing.
This matter is related to the next step of the development of the Celestial Realm Industry, and whether it can be carried out smoothly.
I saw that in the interior of the second starship, a metal back figure slowly raised its head in the cockpit.
Looking beyond the porthole of the starship, images of the moon are getting bigger and bigger.
That's right!
The vibranium body, which Peter had worked so hard to create, was placed on top of the second starship heading towards the moon.
