"It's nothing, just some small obstacles." Tony Stark looked at the document in Li Jie's hand, his face twitched, but he didn't say anything.
"I think you should deal with your wound first." Li Jie pointed to the cut on Tony Stark's face.
The wound was not deep, it was just a superficial wound. But because the capillaries on his face were cut, a lot of blood flowed out of Tony's face, it looked a bit scary.
"Oh, shit!" Tony only now discovered the wound on his face. It seemed that he didn't even feel the pain in his body before, it should be because he was distracted by something else.
Tony began to rummage through the office, he looked very upset. "Damn it! Where's my first aid kit ~ Pei … "
Tony originally wanted to call someone's name, but his voice stopped, and then he sat on the floor in frustration.
Yes, Iron Man was very powerful and seemed to be omnipotent. But Tony Stark was not. In the Iron Man Armor, he could be the hero who saved the world.
After taking off the armor, he was a guy who couldn't even remember his social security account number and his medical kit.
"If you don't mind, use this." Li Jie exchanged a bottle of hemostatic spray and a piece of gauze from the system on the floor in front of Tony. He now knew that Tony didn't like to use his hands to receive things from others, except for Pei Bo.
"Thank you." Tony picked up the side of the alcohol gauze and wiped the blood off his face. Then, he used the hemostatic spray to stop the bleeding from his wound.
"Would you like to talk? What happened? "Li Jie sat across from Tony, holding the document left by Pei Bo and reading it.
"Nothing, it's just …" Tony looked at Li Jie, he didn't want to say anything, but in the end, he hesitated for a while and said. "It's just a small problem."
"Looks like Pei Bo doesn't support the Ark Project." The documents in Li Jie's hands were a mess. When Pei Bo threw the folder, all the documents were scattered.
"To be precise, it's not that she doesn't support it, but she's firmly against it?" Li Jie quickly skimmed through the documents Pei Bo had sent him.
"Yeah, she's always too cautious." Tony answered absent-mindedly.
"Miss Pei Bo thinks that the Ark Project is progressing too quickly and will have a serious impact on society and the state of the Earth." Li Jie did not care about the various professional data analysis in the documents. That was not something he was good at.
But he understood the gist of it.
"According to her analysis, the Ark Project will bring about a massive wave of unemployment, as well as increased unrest among various governments, causing serious international conflicts. There might even be a war. "Li Jie massaged his temples. In fact, he was also afraid of these things.
"Once things get out of control, Stark Industries will become the scapegoat and be abandoned." This was the general information that Pei Bo wanted to express in the documents. Li Jie was very suspicious of whether Tony had read the documents or if there had been a conflict between him and Pei Bo before.
"{This world is beautiful and fragile.} Ha! She always says that. I really shouldn't have brought Ethan back! "Tony's tone was not very pleasant.
"Oh right, where did Professor Ethan go?" Li Jie remembered that he had not seen Ethan for a while.
"He went back to his hometown in the Middle East. What a short-sighted person. He was the one who spread those thoughts to Pei Bo." Tony's tone was a little gloomy.
"I think what they said is not unreasonable. Now that I turn on the news, it's all about the war preparations of the P5. The friction around the world is heating up." Li Jie was not exactly a pessimist, but he really did not think that things were still under control. Perhaps all of this was just a delicate balance.
"Enough. With the support of the P5 and the promotion of Stark Industries, I don't believe anyone can ruin all of this." Tony interrupted Li Jie's words. His face showed a strange redness.
His stubbornness and arrogance were getting worse. Li Jie had a bad feeling. He had seen someone lose control like this last time.
"You know, as long as the Helium-3 mining is successful, then Ethan's hometown will no longer suffer from the flames of war. You have to know that 95% of the reason for the war in the Middle East is for oil." Tony's veins were bulging.
"But he didn't appreciate it and left, thinking that I would accelerate the destruction of his hometown. Stupid man." Tony's anger rose abnormally.
"Unemployment and other social upheavals are only the throes of the eve of the revolution. The arrival of a new era will inevitably eliminate a batch of products of the old era. This is the law of nature, natural selection.
"All I did was accelerate the process. But Pei Bo wanted to slow down the process, or even stop it! This is the regression of scientific evolution. "Tony had already stood up, walked behind his desk, and fiercely slammed the desk.
"I spent so much effort to convince so many people and negotiate with governments, just to create a better tomorrow. We will soon have endless energy. Humans will forever be free from hunger and war! This is the eve of the rise of humanity.
"I can't let anyone stop this from happening."
His current expression made Li Jie a little uneasy. A large amount of blood rushed to his head, making his face very red.
The stimulation of adrenaline made his veins bulge.
"Calm down, calm down, Tony." Li Jie tried to calm Tony down. Right now, Tony was a little abnormal.
"I have a way to calm you down. I just need a little time." As he spoke, Li Jie wanted to get close to Tony and use the inner Qi of the Vairocana Seal to circulate in Tony's body to calm his anger.
Li Jie did not know whether Tony's current mood was caused by the great pressure he had been under these days, or something else.
But Tony did not seem to like what Li Jie was doing.
When one of Li Jie's hands was about to touch Tony Stark, a crack suddenly appeared on Tony's desk.
An arm part of the steel armor began to quickly assemble on his right hand.
The golden-red armor was quickly installed, and a strong, cold, and powerful metal arm grabbed one of Li Jie's hands.
At the same time, it threw Li Jie away. Li Jie somersaulted twice in the air to prevent himself from falling.
The palm cannon on Tony Stark's metal armor began to charge. He said to Li Jie with the palm cannon. "What are you doing!"
"It's not a good idea to point a weapon at your friend, Mr. Tony." Li Jie took two steps back and secretly took out the Ring of Sorcerer from his combat belt.
While Li Jie and Tony were in a stalemate, in a high-end ward in a private hospital in New York, a man with the medical record of John Smith was lying on the bed, watching the news on TV.
His face was covered in bandages as if he had just undergone a major operation.
The ward, which only the director and a few other people could enter, was pushed open and a strong man walked in.
"You look much better, Dr. John." His voice was as strong as he was.
"Yes, I haven't felt so good since I fell into a deep sleep in 1945." John smiled. From the movement of his muscles under the bandages, he was indeed smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Your rate of recovery in the past half a year has surprised us. Everyone in the organization is hoping that you can rise again," the muscular man said respectfully.
"I don't think that's what everyone thinks. After all, I've been away for almost 70 years. "John's tone seemed to be mocking, but it was hard to tell who he was mocking.
"Now, the higher-ups in the organization should have fallen apart and gone their own way."
"They will regret it," the man replied coldly.
"Yes, they will indeed regret it. Let's start with those ridiculous agents." John's tone was amusing.
The strong man had a thoughtful look on his face. He seemed to be hesitating when he spoke. "But our organization will suffer heavy losses."
John still looked at the man with a smile without the slightest hint of a smile. "Have you ever stored an apple?"
"What?" the man asked in confusion.
Hardedef ignored the man and muttered to himself. "When I was still a child, my family had a beautiful farm with an orchard that yielded a good harvest."
"We're apple farmers. I've been harvesting and storing apples with my family since I was young. Apple storage was a big problem in that era. The preservation technology wasn't as good as it is now.
Things like refrigerators weren't common either. We had to use the older method to store apples. That way, we could sell them at a good price when the merchants came.
"I remember when I was young, I once again put a slightly damaged apple into the storage box. I thought that every apple was precious. It was the source of income for our family."
I didn't want to throw it away, so I put it in the storage box and waited for the merchants to buy it.
"When the merchant came, I happily took out the apples, but all the apples in the storage box had rotted. The damaged apple was the first to rot."
John Smith said as he reminisced, but his tone was still as calm as ever.
"Some people in the organization are like the rotten apple. If you don't want all the apples to rot, it's best to get rid of them." John's tone sounded cold.
The strong man nodded in silence. "There's another thing. Is it okay to leave that thing in the North Pole? What if S.H.E.L.D. or Tony Stark discovers it and starts to research it? "
"It's fine. The thing in Winter Fort is a top-secret plan. Only the Chancellor and I have the right to awaken the door. Before I woke up, you modern organizations didn't even know about Winter Fort's existence." John's tone was mocking.
"The modern organizations only knew about Winter Fort in the past half a year. They don't understand the meaning of the research in Winter Fort. They don't know how scary that hammer is. "
"Whether it's S.H.E.L.D. or Stark researching it, it's good. I hope it's Tony Stark who does it."
"Since 1942, I've been confronting Howard Stark, although it's always been a side confrontation."
"Tony Stark is exactly the same as his father. They're both dissolute and dissolute. But Howard Stark at least knows the meaning of humility and respect. "
"He knows what the world needs. Although my philosophy is different from his, I've never denied that he's the world's most outstanding scientist. But Tony Stark. "John shook his head.
"Tony Stark's actions can no longer be stopped."
"He's far worse than his father." John watched the news. Some financial experts discussed how much the stock price of Stark Industries would rise and whether it would continue to soar because of the development of helium-3. John laughed silently.
This time, he was truly smiling happily. Even the strong man could see it.
"Let's get ready. Let our old friends be happy and let those rotten apples be crushed."
"The world is getting more and more exciting. We have to get ready to take action."
John got off the bed and took out a set of clothes from the wardrobe. It was a clean leather coat.
By the time the sleeve with the word 'reverse' was hidden under a set of leather clothes, John Smith had already finished putting on his clothes.
He removed the bandage on his face. A stern and stern middle-aged man's face appeared in front of the man beside the bed.
"The show is about to begin." John strode out of the room.
