American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 126



Inside the Stark factory in New York, Peter and Wanda stood in front of a huge ark reactor, the blue-purple arc of light flowing steadily in the huge ring, it seemed so harmonious and calm on the surface, as if it was a pond in his backyard, but the starlight's ability to perceive energy was a reminder of how choppy the depths of this "stream" were.

Pietro, on the other hand, was watching with interest the "mixed doubles" going on not far away.

Sharon looked incredulous at this time, she paced back and forth next to Tony, and every time she passed Tony, she would call a "bastard".

After finally calming down a little, she regained all her language skills and began to roar.

"Tony, do you know who contacted the military for you, pulled orders for you, and maintained good relations between Stark Industries and the military? It's my father and me! Do you know how difficult it is for us to stand between you, your father, and the army in which we serve? "

Seeing Tony open his mouth, Sharon directly raised a finger in front of Tony.

"Tap-da-da! Don't talk! I know you're trying to say you know how hard it is, how much you understand my work, how grateful you are, but if you know how hard we work, you're even more muddled now! "

Tony shrugged.

"I actually wanted to say that your hair is up, probably due to static electricity, which is a little cute to be honest, but what you said later is indeed what I want to say."

And this time Obadiah Stani finally played.

"Tony!"

Obadiah Steiney is more calm than Sharon's, but his dark face is more oppressive than Sharon's.

"To be honest, I never expected you to be involved in the running of the company, your father is the same, you focus on your own research, do what you want, it's okay, we've always worked together like this, this company has always been run this way, even if you want to make some changes, do something different, it's okay, I'll help you..."

Tony tugged at the corners of his mouth and said for Obadiah Steini:

"But..."

Obadiah Steiney glared.

"But! You can't disrespect me, the board of directors and the company, bypassing us to suddenly announce such a big thing! Do you know how much our company's share price will fall tomorrow?! "

"Well, optimistic estimate, 40 points?"

"At least!"

Obadiah Steini's bald head faintly visible bursting blood vessels.

"You've never been involved in the company, and your first involvement made a big mess that could bankrupt the company!" Guess how I was to explain this to the board? "

But Obadiah Steiney was the actual helm of the company, he took a deep breath, quickly calmed his emotions after a short vent, and after sighing he said in a deep voice:

"I will announce to the media that you were traumatized during your capture in Afghanistan and will be treated at home for the time being, and at the same time I will ask the board of directors to temporarily exclude you, you have no right to interfere in the operation of the company in a short period of time, and then you are not allowed to say anything, do nothing, I will not agree to any of your requests except to go to the hospital, I will have a good talk with you later, and you better go home immediately."

Tony's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Obadiah Stanley and then turned to look at Sharon.

"Am I grounded? It sounds like a lockdown. "

"It's really grounding."

Sharon covered her head and shook her head from side to side.

"Tony, you are really going too far this time, you should at least discuss with us, your sudden announcement to close the entire weapons manufacturing department will not only affect the credibility of my father and me in the military, but also directly put your father's Stark Industries into a corner, you are a weapons manufacturer!"

Obadiah Stani nodded in agreement, and then asked Sharon with a headache:

"Sharon, I know you might be busy, but can you stay with Tony for two days? Let this kid settle down a little in the past two days, stop tossing around? I have too much trouble to deal with right now, I don't have time to manage him, and Potts can't control him at all, I can only count on you. "

"Of course."

Sharon's current task is to find out information for S.H.I.E.L.D. by Tony's side, originally Sharon planned to persuade Tony to explain the truth with a soft attitude, but now she has changed her mind, and she decided to "hard" beat him "hard" without really hurting Tony until he said it.

However, Tony's gaze remained firm, and he did not regret the accusations of the two men.

"Is it my turn to speak now?"

Obadiah Stanley and Sharon lowered their heads speechlessly, and then shook their heads in unison, and then Sharon said helplessly as if coaxing a child:

"Of course, of course you can speak, and we'll go home when you're done."

Tony pulled out a smile, and Sharon raised her eyebrows in return.

"I just don't want the company's biggest achievement in the future to be just a long list of kill numbers, this company is given the surname of me and my father, and I don't want the only thing that this surname represents in the future is destruction and death."

Tony's expression was still casual, but Sharon understood that this was Tony's telling the truth, and she stopped Obadiah Stanney's speech and sighed in a soft voice:

"But Stark Industries has been making weapons for forty years, and if you close the weapons department and it doesn't end the war, other people will take over the orders you gave up and swallow your share, and your actions will only put more people out of work, some people will lose their jobs, lose their houses, they will live on the streets because of this decision, you think that you will kill people by making weapons, but for every one percent increase in unemployment, 40,000 people will die, and if you can't run this company well." Some people will die from it, but these kills won't show up on your 'report card', and you should know that, Tony. "

"We're not going to go out of business, we're not going to shut down, I want to change the direction of the company, I have a new track."

"New track? How? Do you want to start making us bottles? "

Obadiah Stanney couldn't help but interject, and Sharon looked at the ark reactor behind Tony, and then looked at Tony's chest, only to reveal a look of sudden realization, she sighed again, only to feel that she seemed to have sighed all her life for Tony today.

"Okay, I know your train of thought, but your behavior today is still very messy, you should respect Uncle Otto, you should respect other people, you should let us know, at least let us be a little mentally prepared."

"Trust me, I've tried to be kind."

"Ha, some people are really like this by nature, are you, you have indeed been a jerk since you were a child, and I still remember that the Christmas gift you gave me when you was fourteen was a hundred years of loneliness."

"You speak as if the sanitary napkins you gave me that year were very 'friendly'."

"But you did use it, and you are also suitable now, do you want me to give you another pack this year?"

"No, I can use yours first if I want."

Watching the conversation begin to develop in the direction of the mouth, Obadiah Steini felt that his blood pressure began to rise again, but he was keenly aware of what seemed to be some important information in the conversation between the two, so he still asked patiently:

"So any of you two mind telling me what's going on with the 'bottle' we're going to make next?"

Sharon didn't talk nonsense, she directly pulled Tony, pulled Tony's shirt, revealing the light blue small ark reactor under the clothes, and Tony was stunned by Sharon's "sudden attack", subconsciously protecting her chest with her hands, and Sharon looked at Tony's 'shy' posture and immediately took out her mobile phone to take a photo, and then took out a pack of sanitary napkins from her bag and stuffed it into Tony's arms.

"It seems that I already have the cover of this year's postcard, and this is for you, your Christmas gift this year."

Obadiah Steinney, on the other hand, was fascinated by the shining blue light of the Ark reactor, and he didn't have time to deal with the quarrel between two 'grown-up' people, he put his hands on Tony's shoulders, his brows furrowed.

Tony threw the sanitary napkin at Sharon, and then explained to Obadiah Steiney with a hint of apology:

"I hope we will focus on Ark reactor technology next."

"I originally thought it was just a gimmick made by your father..."

Obadiah Stanney's expression became particularly complicated, and although his eyes were still fixed on the reactor on Tony's chest, his gaze drifted to another era.

"We haven't made any breakthroughs in this area for thirty years..."

Obadiah Steinney's face did not show a look of joy or excitement, but with a hint of melancholy, he patted Tony on the shoulder, and then turned and walked slowly outside.

"Go get it done, I'll fix the board, just like I've always had to clean up your daddy's mess."

Then he turned his head as if remembering something and added:

"But you're still being ... In your terms, you're still 'grounded', and you're just like your nasty dad. "

Tony pointed to Obadiah Steine's back and asked with a puzzled look:

"Was he so cranky before? Or did his 'menopause' arrive in these two months? "

"I suspect yours is coming soon."

Sharon pulled Tony in front of her again and rebuttoned his shirt one by one.

"Thank you."

Sharon's hand froze, she knew that Tony was not talking about buttoning for him, but she still pretended not to notice it, buttoned all the shirts, and then turned around and walked out.

"I'm waiting for you at the door, you'd better hurry up and say goodbye to your 'peers' or I'll drive your car away and let you go home in the rain."

Tony wanted to return the backhand, but Sharon's action was swift, and as soon as Tony's words came to his lips, Sharon had already pushed the door and walked out the building, and finally Tony had to give up.

He came to Peter and the others, and asked with a relaxed attitude:

"How? Are you satisfied with this show specially prepared for you? "

Peter didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Wanda and Pietro.

Pietro still looked uncomfortable, but he still nodded lightly to express his thoughts, while Wanda's expression was softer, and she asked softly:

"Can I exchange contact information with Sharon?"

Tony was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Wanda to answer like this, he looked at the door and said with a little confusion:

"I can give you her contact information, she shouldn't mind."

"Thank you, I want to order souvenirs with her, especially that postcard, by the way, I will probably send you Christmas gifts this year."

Tony then reacted that this little beauty was just joking with himself, and the meaning behind this joke made his mood relax a lot, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealed an ugly smile, and then patted Peter on the shoulder like Obadiah Steine.

"I arranged a car for you outside, I think I'll be here for today's show, and then we might be able to talk about those fruits and other magical little objects, because I'm 'grounded', I'll wait for you to get in touch, and as for contact information, I think you know who I am."

After saying that, Tony waved his hand dashingly, and then followed Sharon out of the industrial area, and Peter and Wanda and the Pietro brothers and sisters did not stay long, they walked out the door in silence and came to the car arranged by Tony.

Pietro's expression was unnatural, or twisted, while Wanda looked into the distance a little gloomy.

"If you really can't let go, there's no need to excuse him easily."

Wanda's joke just now is not just to make fun of Tony's embarrassment, this behavior itself is something that only happens between friends, and she will make this joke to Tony to show Tony that she has identified with Tony, at least not disgusted with him anymore.

And Wanda turned to look at Peter, who was trying to comfort herself, and said with a somewhat mocking tone:

"Don't forget that I am your sister in name, don't think that if you take care of me in Afghanistan, you can treat me as a little girl."

Then she shook her head slightly and answered Peter in a serious tone

"If it was me in the past, I would probably not only not forgive him when I saw this speech of his, but hate him for taking away the oil that allowed me to paint revenge into a righteous act, but now I am genuinely happy, not only for myself, but also for him, a part of my heart is still in mind, but I have decided that I will no longer be bound by the hatred of the past."

"So you just weren't happy with the weather?"

This time it was Pietro who took the initiative to speak, unlike Wanda, he still has a bad heart for Tony, although the desire to kill the other party for revenge has faded a lot, but it is still far from forgiving Tony, so in a sense, he also hopes that Wanda's open-mindedness just now is just a disguise, and he still hopes that Wanda and himself are still on the same front.

However, Wanda stared into the distance with a strange expression, and said with a bit of puzzlement and confusion in her tone:

"I don't know why, I just have some bad feelings..."

Wanda pointed in the direction of the center of the city, Osborne Biologics.

"There, I don't know why, I feel like there makes me a little... Disgusting. "

Peter looked in that direction, frowning slightly, in the tracking network he had just re-established, a crow was hovering in that direction, and the only person he had now turned on tracking was Gwen alone...
