Boom! Almost everyone in the audience stood up.
Among the reporters, only the nitpicky female reporter was still sitting in her chair with her arms crossed. Her long, fair legs were still crossed, but her eyes were filled with astonishment.
Just now, she had really just wanted to make things difficult for a certain heartless guy. She wasn't prepared for this shocking news at all.
At the back of the venue, Phil smiled bitterly and said to Pepper, who had a helpless expression on her face, "I'm leaving. I'll be busy for a while. Goodbye, Miss Pepper. "
Pepper quickly got up. "Agent Coulson, thank you for everything you've done for us."
That night, Coulson had ignored the danger and stalled Obadiah, which could be considered as saving her. Pepper was very grateful.
Phil smiled again. "No need. That's my job. You can contact me if you need anything in the future."
Pepper thought for a moment. "It's called Homeland Defense …"
"Just call it S.H.I.E.L.D." Phil smiled and left.
…
On the other side, Robert was pouring milk in front of the TV. When he heard that earth-shattering declaration, his hand shook and a large amount of milk spilled.
It wasn't that he wasn't calm, but that he had been looking down on this rich tycoon just a moment ago.
He was both a scumbag and a weakling, and that he could beat up fifty of this guy. In the end, the guy turned out to be … Iron Man.
As the second superhero on stage, Robert had seen videos of Tony saving people long ago. He knew that unless he set up a trap, there was basically nothing he could do to an enemy with full physical resistance.
In a head-on confrontation, Iron Man could beat up fifty of him.
Luke didn't laugh at Robert. He simply handed him a towel.
Of course, if he knew that a certain sheriff was comparing fifty Robert's to Iron Man, he would definitely mock him.
If Obadiah's Iron Monger could be equipped with missiles, so could Tony's Iron Man armor.
How could a soldier of flesh and blood fight a rich man like Tony, who played with advanced technology?
As the saying went, the rich relied on technology. The cheat was that most technological products could be mass-produced and could be replenished continuously.
The poor, on the other hand, relied on mutations to fight with their own bodies.
Tony only needed to move his mouth to launch a small missile, and Jarvis could even lock onto the target.
It would be very difficult for most poor mutated people to achieve the same effect on their own.
This was the superhero version of "the rich move their mouths, the poor break their legs."
After Robert wiped his hands and the table, Luke said with a smile, "What do you think? Does it feel safer to be a shareholder of the superhero Iron Man Company? "
Robert smiled. "Being a superhero is definitely not as useful as Stark Industries. If it weren't for Stark Industries, this young master might not have dared admit that he was Iron Man. Don't get close to this person in the future. You won't get any benefits, but misfortune might happen. "
Luke nodded humbly.
Of course, he thought the same, which was why he rarely interacted with Tony as a detective.
Batman, however, had no such concerns! If anyone wanted to target Batman, they could take their time. Anyway, this avatar was going to rest for a few months.
…
In Los Angeles, Tony had already returned to his villa in Malibu to hide.
Pepper would handle things outside. He didn't need to add to the mess.
Pepper even asked him half-jokingly, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Just like that, you can come back and study this thing? "
As she said this, she looked at Iron Monger, who was isolated in the basement.
Tony laughed, because this question really didn't need to be answered.
He simply gave Pepper permission to use the funds in his secret account to secretly buy back Stark Industries' shares.
This time, he was going to become the true owner of Stark Industries, and couldn't be kicked out of the company by that bullsh * t board of directors.
The shareholders who had been with Obadiah earlier would also be kicked out of the company one by one.
In any case, Stark Industries' shares were still falling. He didn't believe that these people could take it.
But that was Pepper's job.
What he was most interested in right now was Iron Monger, or to be more precise, the wounds on Iron Monger's body.
Looking at the perspective of Iron Monger projected by Jarvis on the virtual screen, he murmured, "Every time, he cut Iron Monger's exposed joints or cut off certain control circuits. These attacks were very targeted, and basically destroyed Iron Monger's mobility. "
Jarvis said, "Yes, sir. Comparing it with the footage, we can confirm that Batman has a considerable understanding of Iron Monger's structure. "
Tony's scalp went numb. "This guy only saw Mark 1 once, and he's already come up with a countermeasure? He's the first person to know my true identity. Could it be … that he's spying on me? "
Although he wasn't sure if that was the case, he immediately instructed, "Jarvis, come up with a new security plan for the villa."
After a brief hesitation, he continued, "All the security personnel in the villa go home on leave and wait for the investigation."
He couldn't trust the security guards.
A few nights ago, Obadiah had almost killed him, but the security guards hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Then, Batman had arrived in time to save him, and the security guards still hadn't been alerted.
From the looks of it, even those who didn't find anything amiss after a thorough investigation would have to be retrained.
Thinking that, he didn't continue. This would take time, too. It was better to continue studying Batman for now.
"What about the residue on Iron Monger's wounds?" he asked.
Jarvis said, "It's a kind of chromium alloy, but it's not a special formula. It's widely available on the market."
Tony frowned. "Was the dagger made of this material?"
Jarvis said, "I'm not sure. It's probably just a coating."
Tony sighed. "Fine, this guy won't be so careless as to let me track him down through the raw materials."
He replayed the video of Batman attacking Iron Monger. After watching it for a moment, he murmured, "My previous estimate of this guy's combat ability was completely wrong. If Mark 2 didn't use high-speed flight and long-range attacks, it would've been very difficult for him to defeat him."
Jarvis said, "Yes, sir. Batman only used darts before, so we're not sure if he has the means to break through Mark 2's defenses. "
Tony shook his head. "To be able to find Iron Monger's weaknesses so easily, he's quite skilled. If he uses that dagger to attack some of Mark 2's joints, it's very likely that he'll succeed. It seems that I'll have to speed up the development of the subsequent models. "
At this point, he looked at the beeper on his wrist.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up on activating it, but he didn't take it off either.
I'll just wear it like this. In any case, it looks okay.
That's what he thought, but he couldn't help but complain. But the color is really too ugly. How about … I plate it gold red?
