Chapter 234 News (6,000 words)
Tony Stark is at the press conference, preparing to answer questions from reporters.
He is no stranger to this environment. A few days ago, he announced the closure of the Stark Group's weapons research and development department in this place.
The impact of the battle between the two metal men this time was not small at all. At least a lot of photos were taken of them along the way.
You can see on the Internet how they flew all the way out of Stark Tower, accompanied by a huge noise. There is no way to hide this kind of thing.
"Mr. Stark, I heard that Director Obadiah had to stay behind the scenes due to health reasons. Is that true?"
A reporter couldn't wait to ask when Tony had just stood up, obviously. There was nothing polite about his behavior.
But fortunately, Tony didn't kick him out directly. Even if he was kicked out of the venue by Tony, it was considered a gain.
The title "Tony Stark expels reporters from the venue" can also bring a lot of attention, and he, as the person involved, can even make a fortune from it.
“No comment!”
Tony spread his hands and responded to the reporter's questions with a bad attitude.
He likes the feeling of being surrounded, because it makes him feel like he is the center of the world, but this does not mean that Tony likes to be chased by these hyenas who are pursuing "news".
And what he dislikes even more is being taken advantage of.
"Tony, the words I prepared for you are in the card in your hand. You just have to say it according to what is written on it."
Rhodes, standing behind Tony, whispered. warned.
SHIELD has already arranged this. After the previous Hydra incident, the relationship between the military and SHIELD has become much closer, so this matter was left in Rhode's hands.
This is also because they want to get the metal suit. After all, it is not a wise move to fight Tony.
It might be a good idea to play the emotional card.
"Mr. Stark, are those metal men new works of the Stark Group? And does this approach violate what you said about stopping weapons research and development?"
This reporter who interrupted is much smarter than the last one. At least he has learned how to trap the questions.
"Which media company are you from?"
Tony glanced at the reporter who was speaking. She was a blond beauty, but this level did not arouse Tony's interest.
"XX Daily, Mr. Stark, do I have the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with you?"
The female reporter combed her hair and fiddled with her hair. This action is a sign of femininity. The easiest way to charm.
“I think you will receive the news that you have been fired when you go back. Also! Madam, I don’t mean to be mean to you. You must know that everyone can testify that I am a person without prejudice against women. , at least those cover girls can testify.
So I don’t want to see news labeled as ‘discrimination’. ”
Tony despised the female reporter’s coquettish behavior. Compared with the beauties around him, this reporter is not a good choice.
What’s more, since he has After returning from Afghanistan, he no longer had anything to do with the girls outside.
Tony fiddled with the microphone on the table, pulled the tie around his collar, and looked at the reporter in front:
<. br>"I know what everyone wants to know, so there is no need for us to waste time here, right? ”
Tony stood in front of the small table at the press conference, looking at the eager reporters below with interest, and spoke a little casually.
Most of the reporters nodded. What they wanted was not official rhetoric, but big news that could boost newspaper sales.
For example, there was news like "Stark actually bought a newspaper for a woman".
"If I say that everything you see is an illusion, I'm afraid you will laugh at me behind my back. Of course, I won't care if others say bad things about me behind my back, because I have already I’m used to it.”
Tony continued with a smile:
"Of course, I will ask the Stark Group's legal department to submit a lawyer's letter afterwards."
Tony focused the attention of all the audience at the pace he wanted, but his humor did not What response did you get.
Of course the reporter didn’t come to hear the official statement, but he also didn’t come to see Tony’s sense of humor.
"The truth of the matter is..."
Tony glanced at the small piece of paper in his hand. It said something on it: "Work with the military to develop new weapons. Before, it was just a combat test." content like that.
Tony bared his teeth.
This statement is really in the style of the military. If it is really said like this, then his metal suit will become the product of cooperation with the military. Those guys are playing with nothing.
Tony let out a long breath, and the reporters below were already waiting for the truth.
"I am Iron Man!"
After Tony said that, he threw down the card in his hand and left the press stage, then walked outside on his own.
A group of reporters were left making a lot of noise, but Tony didn't care.
On one side, Rhodes slapped himself on the forehead with one hand, then turned around and followed Tony.
The current situation is somewhat beyond his expectation.
"Tony, that's not what's written on that card."
Rhode said softly.
"So you are just a colonel, Rhodes. You still don't understand why your superior is your superior."
Tony said casually, and then grabbed Rhodes' neck.
"Okay, let's go have a party. I remember I promised you this."
"That's really good news."
Rhode Rolling their eyes, the two people left the press conference talking and laughing.
"Mr. Stark, we want to know the identities of the woman who can fly and the man who flew into the sky with another metal man!"
The reporter shouted loudly in the direction of Tony, but there was no What response did you get.
At that time, someone took a photo of Jessica and Luke, but it was too far away, so no one saw the specific appearance.
Although these reporters had various means to investigate the information they wanted to obtain, all investigations were forcibly terminated due to the interference of SHIELD.
Superpowers are usually something you can only read about in some unpopular tabloids, but this time someone confirmed the existence of superpowers.
...
"Captain, isn't it too early for us to go to London now?"
Rumlow was sitting on the plane and said to Steve, who was sitting directly opposite.
He did not take out the giant hammer with both hands, but just sat loosely in his seat. It seemed that he had become more relaxed after leaving SHIELD.
“Just take some time to familiarize yourself with the environment. After all, we may have to fight this time.”
Steve wiped the shield in his hand and responded casually.
However, this time it is basically certain that a battle will occur, and it is necessary to be familiar with the battlefield.
Originally, the group of them was supposed to start taking action tomorrow, but things always change.
"What kind of enemy can you fight to make you take this seriously? You don't hesitate to call us over in advance?"
Luke is sitting upright in his seat. This posture is not comfortable, but Luke No complaints at all.
Because Jessica was falling asleep on his shoulder, Luke would carefully adjust his sitting position from time to time, hoping to allow Jessica to rest more comfortably.
After all, the two of them spent a lot of energy the day before, but their relationship has indeed taken a step forward.
"Hydra, and those vampire soldiers. Soldiers wearing Third Reich uniforms, obviously a large organization."
Steve thought of the guys he saw at that time , his face doesn’t look good.
He really didn't want to experience the battle with the car door as a shield again, and those guys were obviously elite troops, not gangsters in military uniforms.
The layered attacks and non-stop fire suppression gave Steve a headache.
He is very aware of the fighting prowess of the werewolf and the mummy. At least before he fell asleep, they were his closest comrades.
Together they destroyed countless Hydra strongholds.
But even beings like werewolves and mummies will be killed by those vampire soldiers. Steve can't be too optimistic about this.
“Although I don’t know what you met Steve, those guys may be more powerful than you think. At least the vampire I saw can crush me in a head-on battle.”< br>
A worried voice sounded from the cockpit of the plane.
"Who is this? Steve, you have never introduced him to us."
Matthew was wearing a suit and shouted towards Steve.
They have not seen the pilot since they boarded the plane, and this is even the first time he has spoken.
Matthew thought this was just a simple driver.
"My old comrade from the Howling Commandos, you can just call him Blade."
Steve's expression softened a lot, and he introduced his old buddy easily.
The most important person in this operation is the Blade Warrior.
This is also the reason why there is only one expert in dealing with vampires that can be found in SHIELD, so Nick Fury ignores the fact that vampires and vampires cannot be generalized.
Nick Fury rescued him at the time, and then asked the Sunwalker to be the pioneer in tracking down the Hydra vampires, so he was the leader of this operation.
Blade has always had a unique way of tracking down those vampires.
As for Dugan and the others, they will probably arrive here before the final battle.
After all, the relationship between Dugan and Rumlow is not very harmonious, and meeting in advance will inevitably cause unnecessary friction.
“This guy is really good!”
Luke turned his head and looked in the direction of the cockpit and said:
"But do all members of the Howling Commandos live this long? Or is the man who piloted the plane already an old uncle?"
"Even if you only count the time I spent in combat, I Much older than a young man like you.”
The voice of the blade came at the right time.
"Cool! A veteran is actually a driver, that's awesome!"
Luke shouted, and then found that Jessica showed some signs of waking up, and immediately adjusted This position allows Jessica to sleep better.
Although Luke knew that Jessica was just closing her eyes to relax, the environment on the plane was not very comfortable, at least he couldn't sleep.
Now Luke cherishes Jessica very much, and he is very happy.
"Luke, do you want to take any trophies to get Orac's blessing? I think you have to kill at least one demon of the same level to get Orac's nod."
Lang Muluo said with a smile, he didn't care at all about the news about the blade.
Rather than talking about Blade, he still found Luke and Jessica's personal affairs more interesting. "Man, let's talk about the news about those vampires. Although I didn't see those guys at the time, the situation over there is not easy at all."
Matthew frowned and said.
At that time, he had come into contact with vampires. When he arrived at the scene, he immediately bumped into Hellboy, the Witch-in-the-Heart Demon, and the big flaming skeleton.
That's not the withered bones in the tomb of the Han Skeleton King Yuan Shu, that's the Ghost Rider.
He has personally experienced the fighting power of these guys, so Matthew is very worried about those vampires who can contain these guys.
To know that he can achieve that level, he can no longer be called a pure soldier.
At least he belongs to the ranks of extraordinary people.
"The vampire I saw is obviously different from what you said. That guy is at least an elite fighter."
Blade said while flying the plane. At that time, Yang... Valentine's pursuit was still fresh in his memory.
Blade Warrior is not an ordinary person's level of combat power. Anyone who can suppress him at all times is extremely dangerous.
At that time, Yang Valentine completely crushed him physically, which was not good news.
Now that he has the opportunity to let others kill vampires with him, of course he is willing.
After all, he never thought about getting rid of all vampires by his own strength from the beginning. That would be unrealistic at all.
"I don't have any real feeling when you say this, but I don't understand how strong that guy you are talking about can be."
Matthew shouted like this, pulling open his collar uneasily.
Ever since he got used to the urban life on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, he felt a little disgusted with formal clothes like suits.
Perhaps savages like to be free, intelligent and unrestrained?
"I can't describe the combat power, but that guy can easily take down a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents."
Blade opened the cockpit He opened the small door and showed his face.
"Ouch! In addition to the black ones for the angels, so do the blade warriors!"
Luke had the biggest reaction to Blade's face.
As an urban legend that often appears in third-rate newspapers, Blade is still somewhat mysterious to Luke.
"Luke, haven't you read the Howling Commando comics? Why are you so surprised by this?"
Matthew moved his shoulders and said, although he didn't know it before. Blade is black.
“The Howling Commandos only appeared a few times in the comics, and Blade only had a name. I thought he was that kind of, um, elegant vampire.”
Luke made additional explanations.
After all, the hero comics back then were all from Steve’s perspective, and The Howling Commandos didn’t have much space.
You must know that when the military created gods, they only created the noble Captain America, but the Howling Commandos were not dead.
"How can those vampire bastards have any elegance? They squat in a gloomy environment every day wearing black leather clothes, twisting and turning to that weird music, and occasionally unfolding their disgusting mouthparts, you care about this Called elegance? "
Blade said with disdain.
He himself couldn't figure out why things with long lives always looked like low-class street villains.
There are also some who disdain modern technology.
Is it because the TV show is not as interesting as them wriggling around?
If given a choice, Blade felt that he would rather play video games in a bright living room than get together with vampires to create any "style".
"When those guys hurt girls and start sucking blood, one or two of them are so disgusting. If you like that kind of tone, you might as well watch the night show."
Blade complained mercilessly about his own kind.
"Well, you've made me completely disillusioned with vampires."
Luke said, opening his palms.
As partners of the same color, the dialogue between them should be more "free".
Maybe this is some kind of wonderful talent?
"Luke, don't talk about such disgusting things."
Jessica opened her eyes and said, she is a warrior now, and the previous sleep was just a way to be tender with her lover.
When talking about this kind of topic, she could always think of the things she had encountered before, so she chose to interrupt.
"Okay, Jessica."
Luke said, looking into Jessica's eyes over his shoulder, and then laughed.
He reached out and pressed Jessica's head on his shoulder again, and then stopped talking about the previous topic.
"I hope Luke can find enough trophies soon. It's better for you to get married soon."
Rumlow changed directions and leaned on the back of the chair and said.
Although Orac will not interfere in Jessica's emotional issues, if Luke does not follow the barbarian tradition, his life on the Holy Mountain will not be easy.
Olac will not give him a good look.
"Where are we going to land?"
Steve interrupted the sour topic and asked Blade.
“They have a special landing pad on the roof of Hexin Agency.”
Daofeng answered casually that the route and other things along this way have been coordinated and will not appear. There's no such thing as being shot down by blind fire.
Nick Fury has reached a certain level of consensus with Integra, at least the arrival of this team is allowed.
Who knows how Nick Fury convinced these British people who were immersed in glory and arrogance, but at least now they will not be driven back by these "elegant" "gentlemen".
"Looks like our travel plans are going to fall through? I don't think we can wander around in other people's houses."
Luke rolled his eyes, but Jessica was not happy with the news. No reaction.
Couples travel because they can only rely on each other in strange places. This is a good way to enhance their relationship.
But Jessica felt that she did not need to use this method to enhance her relationship with Luke for the time being.
They all cherish each other.
"Why not go to the SHIELD branch?"
Steve said curiously.
“Because those ‘gentlemen’ want us to be under their noses.”
Blade’s tone wasn’t very good either.
Accustomed to acting in secret, he doesn't like his affairs to be watched by others.
"How long do we have to stay in that 'Helsing'? I don't want to stay like a prison."
Rumlow said a little frivolously. Recently, He is getting more and more skinny.
Maybe this is called liberating nature?
"It won't be long. SHIELD is uniquely endowed with intelligence, at least more accurate and efficient than Helsing."
Steve had to say this without conscience. After all, he was the only one from SHIELD on the plane now, and what he said was not entirely false.
"I didn't know that SHIELD could lurk among vampires. You know, vampires can't disobey their superiors. Even Black Widow can't lurk among those guys with brain problems."
The blade said unceremoniously.
Although he is a level 10 agent of SHIELD, he has no sense of belonging to SHIELD.
You must know that most of the information about vampires in SHIELD was provided by him.
"Nick Fury will never give all his trust to one person. Who knows if he has a vampire agent."
Rumlow said casually, then stood up and planned to Stretch.
Although the flight was not too long, he was still a little uncomfortable.
Blade's driving skills are really good, but the flight is not bumpy.
Perhaps this has something to do with the high technological level of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s aircraft.
"We're about to land, Rumlow, it's better for you to sit back."
Blade said this, making Rumlow raise his eyebrows.
“I’m a little surprised that you still know my name.”
“Duggan and I are also comrades in arms, and I even met him when he was recovering from his injuries.”
< br>Blade's voice was very calm, as if he didn't intend to have any conflict with Rumlow.
"You don't have to ask me why I don't avenge Dugan. The old guy didn't even plan to take revenge, so it's not my turn to intervene."
Dugan himself didn't care about the so-called "hatred". There is no need to mix the blade.
The magical feet under the quilt - who is he?
"This is the best news I have ever heard. That old stubborn can still provide a lot of energy when fighting Hydra."
Rumlow just sat back in his chair. , the plane started to land.
This small plane from SHIELD can take off and land vertically. This is considered a black technology.
"Guys, do you feel it?"
Matthew asked.
Because he vaguely felt the devil's breath, and this feeling became clearer as the plane landed.
"Devil? It looks like this trip is not an easy job."
Luke muttered, his hand ready to draw his weapon.
"No, this aura is Hellboy. I have met him before."
Matthew's perception became clearer, and he recognized a familiar person from this aura.
"Hellboy? Isn't that someone from the Supernatural Investigation and Defense Bureau? Nick Fury didn't tell me this news."
Blade's tone was full of questions, and he turned his head away from that The small window looked at Steve.
"I haven't heard about it either. Maybe Nick Fury has any plans?"
Steve frowned and said, he always felt that he frowned more often during this time.
I only had time to issue the guarantee of 6,000 on the 9th, and the extra update was postponed again, which is a shame.
I apologize to everyone here:
I’m sorry...
If nothing else happens, the updates on Saturday and Sunday will be better.
I promise! This week’s update has more than 70,000 words!
Thank you everyone for supporting this story, thank you!
