Leaving Charlesâ office, Ling Xiao walked towards the second floor. Jennyâs room was in the corner of the second floor.
Ling Xiao pushed the door in, and saw Rogue sitting on the carpet playing with the TV remote control, she couldnât help being taken aback.
Jenny standing at the window looked at Ling Xiao helplessly Shrugged, Rogue is here, she canât drive her out.
Ling Xiao slightly laughed, signaled that oneself didnât care, and then greeted Rogue: âWhat are you looking at, Mary?â
âNothing.â Rogue grabbed one. Putting the potato chips into his mouth, chewing, he said with dissatisfaction: âIt is the hearing of Stark Industries, and Iron Man was also targeted.â
In Rogue and the others In the eyes of Tony Stark, although Tony Stark is an ordinary people, as a superhero, he is similar to them. Not to mention that Stark sympathizes with Mutants and donates grand competition cash to Mutant School every year. Naturally, he is regarded as an owner.
Although Ling Xiao mentioned to Professor Charles that he did not want to make the relationship between oneself and Mutant School known to others, Professor Charles also promised to help him keep the secret, but does Stark know Ling Xiaoâs identity? , Itâs really hard to say.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiaoâs public identity is nothing more than a Chinese Physician with a small reputation in Los Angeles. Stark is so relieved to let him heal. Although he has a strong recommendation from Pepper, the effect is also very good. But is Stark really not aware of it?
Ling Xiaoâs mutant ability, in the entire Mutant School, no one except Professor Charles knows, in order to give others an illusion that Ling Xiao is not a Mutants.
Ling Xiao laughed, walked to Jennyâs side, wrapped her in her arms, playing with her fingers while watching the hearing on TV.
It is Senator Stern who is in charge of the Senate Armed Forces Committee hearing. Looking at Tony Stark who is inattentive, Stern knocks on the table vigorously and says: âMr. Stark, let us continue with the topic, Mr. Stark!â
âYes, dear.â Tony, who was talking to Pepper in a low voice, turned his head and shook the sentence directly, and everyone laughed at this scene.
âMr. Stark, please answer, do you own a special weapon?â A sneer appeared on Sternâs face, and everything had just begun.
âI didnât.â Stark replied very decisively, and then he shrugged, quite helplessly said: âOf course, it depends on what you think is a weapon.â
â Iron Man is a weapon, isnât it?â Sitting on the rostrum of the hearing, Stern moved closer to Stark.
âWhat I invented is not a weapon.â Stark sneered, he wouldnât get into the trap set by Stern.
Stern couldnât believe what Tony Stark said. After reading it around, he asked, âSo how do you describe it?â
âHow do you say Well, itâs actually a high-tech prosthesis, Senator, yes, prosthetics. This is the most appropriate adjective I can find.â Tonyâs answer made everyone present laugh, and Ling Xiao and Jenny were no exception. , Rogue even almost squirted out the potato chips in his mouth.
âIt is a weapon, he is a weapon.â Stern said in a deep voice, suppressing the current noise, and then staring at Stark and said: âIf you use American Your well-being is the priority, Mr. Stark, then you should give it to the US Government.â
âDonât even think about it.â Stark unceremoniously went back: âI am Iron Man, Iron Man is me, and I merge with my Iron Man Suit. Handing over Iron Man means surrendering myself, which is equivalent to labor or prostitutionâ¦It depends on which continent you are in. I canât give it to you. .â
âpu!â Rogue really squirted out this time, Ling Xiao couldnât help but laugh, he had been in contact with Stark for so long, and he had never discovered that he was such a Funny!
âListen, Iâm not a weapon expert myselfâ¦,â Stern tried to calm everyone down by explaining,
But Stark didnât give him this face, so he directly used his words. âProstitution expert, you are certainly not a prostitution expert, please.â
Starkâs words made everyone present laugh again, Senator is just words After being vague, Tony Stark seized the opportunity, fiercely sarcastically, his face was a bit ugly for a while.
âI am not a weapon expert,â Senator Stern said solemnly: âBut we have invited a weapon expert, Mr. Justin Hammer. I am going to summon Justin Hammer, one of the main weapons suppliers of the Ministry of Defense. One.â
Tony turned his head and saw Justin Hammer sitting aside. With his eyes rolled, he said loudly, âPlease note that I saw Mr. Hammer come in, but I am not at all I saw any weapon expert coming in.â
âHaâ¦â Ling Xiao knew once, he took the fruit plate handed over by Jenny and couldnât help hooking the head, and said, âThis Tony, ah, Iâm not polite in my mouth. I think this Justin Hammer is going to be bad luck.â
âWhat is Justin Hammer doing?â Jenny stuffed a petal of apple into ownâs mouth and asked a little surprised: â Stark Industries has not withdrawn from the weapon supplier sequence of the Ministry of Defense. The two are no longer in competition. Does he have to offend Tony Stark so much?â
âOf course it is necessary. âLing Xiao sighed, touching Jennyâs little hand, and said: âOnce the Ministry of Defense gets Tony Starkâs Iron Man Armor, Hammer Industries can naturally get a share of it. Last time you could get all the designs of Iron Man Armor and Arc Reactor. blueprint, the benefits contained in it are at least tens to over hundred billion USD, or even more. Even more how there are also some great characters behind, even if Justin Hanmer doesnât want to get involved in this matter. , Sometimes I canât help him.â
âIt turns out that this is the case.â Although Jenny didnât understand the last sentence, it was nothing more than a conflict of interests.
Hearing Starkâs sarcasm, Justin Hammer laughed indifferently and said: âYes, I am not a weapon expert, you are, Tony.â
Justin Hammer said. The words changed Tony Starkâs face. Brother Chun, the atmosphere at the hearing began to become mysterious.
âSenator, please allow me to speak.â Justin Hammer said politely: âMaybe I am not a weapon expert, but do you know who is the real expert? Itâs Tony, also he Father, Mr. Howard Stark, he is not only our parent, but also the father of modern military industry. But please be clear, he is not a hippie, he is a lion.â
Now anyone can hear it. Justin Hammer wanted to do something, and Tony Stark sat there face sank like water without saying a word.
Sitting on the podium, Stern couldnât help showing a smile on his face. The one Justin Hammer was looking for was a good one. As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy, and Justin Hammer is like that with Tony Stark.
âWe all know why we are here today. Over the past six months, Tony Stark has built a sharp sword, but he insists that it is just a shield.â Justin Hammer stared at Tony closely. Said: âHe asked us to trust him and hide behind him. I really hope I feel safe. Really, I hope I donât have to lock the door when I go out, but this is not Canada. We live in a world full of dangers. , And many dangers, Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee. Thank you, God bless Iron Man, and the United States of America!â
Selfish or public benefit?
Justin Hammerâs words pushed Tony Stark to the edge of morality, leaving him almost no choice.
