Chapter 215 Before the Big Event
After receiving the promotional video, Killian did not release it immediately. His plan was not complete yet and there were still several important pieces of the puzzle missing.
The so-called new product launch conference promoted by AIM Company in Cleveland in advance has finally arrived, and reporters from all over the United States and even the world came to support it with generous red envelopes.
Except for reporters from one country who received a stern warning from their superiors and did not attend the event, major media outlets in other countries gave the US dollar some face.
As soon as the reporters arrived at the press conference, they discovered a strange scene.
There are big eyes everywhere!
A group of people were wearing green T-shirts with a huge eyeball printed on both sides.
I thought it was a volunteer, but I came in grandly and sat down.
No one was talking to anyone, and everyone had a pious expression on their face.
Walking into the press conference, there was actually a plastic eyeball hanging upside down on the dome that was so huge that it could cover the entire venue, as if it was watching every guest.
"What the hell?" a reporter from the British BBC wondered: "Didn't the information say that this company is a biotechnology company?"
He had already written the framework of the press release in advance and was just waiting for the scene. Take a few photos and extract two features to fill it in. At least it will be worthy of the big red envelope given by others.
Doing this now will increase his workload!
“Could their products involve the field of ophthalmology?” Beside me, a reporter from ARD speculated.
Cleveland local television reporter Walter Crown has become a loyal believer in the "Eye" sect.
After all, people are realistic. If you believe in other sects, you will only get some illusory psychological satisfaction and no benefits at all. But if you believe in the great "eyes", you can gain great strength and a vibrant body. Why don't you believe it?
What do you think God should do?
God is a fool!
What’s more, God in the Marvel universe is really a jerk when compared to the beholder Shumagoras!
Hearing the rumors about these "blasphemers", Walter, wearing a green T-shirt, wanted to rush up and beat them.
However, he strictly abides by the rules set by the leader of Jim, and will never force others to believe in the religion, nor will he exclude unbelievers, and he will do everything as he pleases.
Look, this is what a sect with true divine power should look like!
We come and go freely, without any force.
Believe it or not.
Isn’t this more “theistic” than Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or Christianity?
Walter walked past these reporters and went straight to the stage. He got the best filming position because of his status as a believer.
Outside the venue, Maya Hansen, who had changed into an evening dress, stood in the host's position to greet the visiting dignitaries. She saw Tony Stark at a glance.
Because Tony did not change his cool temperament and appeared in a cool sports car.
When he stepped on the red carpet, an unmanned steel armor fell from the sky and landed behind him, like a loyal guard.
“It’s Tony Stark!”
"It's so unexpected that he will come to this conference."
"In the past year, 'men's wear' magazines can't even find gossip about Playboy. He must be dying, right? ?”
Reporters gathered around for interviews, but the citizens watching from behind were talking about Tony’s recent gossip, and it turned out that the “recent” was already two years ago.
"Alas..." Maya stepped forward and sighed: "You're still here."
"Shouldn't I come?" Tony greeted everyone around enthusiastically, with a hint of pride. Asked back: "Isn't it the invitation letter you sent me?"
He wears a sharing device on his head, which allows him to share the perspective of the steel armor. There is a miniature remote sensing device injected into his arm, which allows him to remotely control the steel armor. This was Tony's confidence. No matter what was wrong with this press conference, he believed that he could settle everything with his steel armor.
At the same time, displaying the steel armor in plain sight is also to warn those who have ulterior motives to be honest.
Unfortunately, Killian was only happy about his arrival.
"Wow, look who this is." Killian in a suit and tie walked over and said in an exaggerated tone, "It's Tony Stark!"
< br>
Tony, who had asked Jarvis to check the other party's information before coming, looked up and down Killian's legs and let out a malicious smile: "Interesting, you can actually walk?"
Killian's face The fake smile disappeared instantly, it was the pain he had felt, and Tony's attitude reminded him of the shame he suffered ten years ago.
So he took two steps forward, pointed at Tony's chest, and did not hide his anger: "I heard that you had a hole before, and our company's new product can help you restore it as before, as long as Kneel down and beg me. "
To be honest, Tony didn't expect that the other party would be on tenterhooks as soon as they met, because he really couldn't remember anything very bad he had done to him.
Isn’t it just a release of pigeons, what’s the point?
He would not know how much pain the pigeon release ten years ago brought to Killian, and even made him almost commit suicide and jump off the building.
As the saying goes, men often collapse only in an instant.
This does not mean that men have poor tolerance, but that men tend to tolerate it and convince themselves to hide their emotions. However, if these negative emotions are not vented, they will eventually explode under an inducement.
Suicide or murder.
“I didn’t expect that after you left the crutches, your tone became much harder.”
Who is Tony that he can spoil him?
"But I still think you are more suitable to use crutches. Do you want me to help you find your former self?"
Seeing that the two seemed to be about to fight on the spot, Maya on the side spoke quickly: "Killian, the press conference is about to begin."
Killian suddenly laughed: "If you have the courage, come in and take a look!"
Men tend to understand men better , Killian knew that his excitement would definitely make Tony enter the venue more firmly.
Sure enough, Tony stepped into the arena without saying a word, followed by steel armor.
The layout of the venue made Tony frown slightly. For some reason, the big eyes hanging upside down on the dome made him feel uneasy.
"Jarvis, search for all the beliefs, myths, and legends about eyeballs." Tony is very smart. Although he does not know the existence of the "Eye" sect, he immediately realizes that this is probably a mysterious ritual. .
After receiving the order, Jarvis immediately found a lot of information for Tony, the most eye-catching of which was the "Eye" sect that suddenly emerged in northwest Ohio.
"Sir, you guessed it right, they are indeed a mysterious sect."
The picture Jarvis showed Tony included the scene of Jim summoning him.
In the picture, the followers of the "Eye" sect are dressed indistinguishably from those in the front row.
He had even seen Leader Jim in the picture sitting in the first row of the venue, talking passionately with Killian.
"Sir, the believers of this sect seem to be able to obtain certain superpowers through sacrificial activities." Jarvis zoomed in on most of the screen for Tony.
“So this is why he asked me to come?” Tony looked puzzled: “To give me super powers?”
The world has become a mess, superpowers are no longer an urban legend, and magic schools in England teach superpowers to ordinary people openly.
So the inference of gaining superpowers through some kind of sacrifice can no longer allow Tony to shake his worldview. After all, his worldview has been reshaped when Dongfang Invincible appeared on the scene.
But he couldn't understand Killian's intentions.
You clearly look like you want to kill him, but you would be so kind to give him benefits?
