The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

As Pepper expected, it was almost as soon as the two arrived at Stark Industries that Stark Industries executive director Obadiah Stan had kidnapped Stark Industries chairman Tony Stark. It has spread rapidly.

no way.

This news cannot stop the pervasive media.

Lake didn't say that he should pay attention to confidentiality before, so it is not a serious matter for the agents of the Homeland Security Agency to leak such a news to the media. Besides, this matter is not necessarily leaked by the Homeland Security Bureau, and the notice is issued. Yes, everyone knows that Homeland Security is after Obadiah Stan.

but……

Just when the media was about to make a splash, and even started to write the manuscript, Pepper Potts, secretary of the chairman of Stark Industries, directly informed the major media in New York, saying that in half an hour, Tony Stark would Hold a press conference to explain the matter to the outside world.

As soon as this sentence came out, the stock price that was ready to jump on the cliff was stopped abruptly on the edge of the cliff.

The media reporters in New York pulled their cameramen and were about to rush towards Stark Industries.

But at this moment, it was already the rush hour, and so many reporters swarmed out, which further blocked the already unbearable roads in New York.

However, there were still not a few reporters who arrived at Stark Industries within half an hour.

Pepper Potts went to the locker room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

"..."

Pepper Potts was stunned for a moment when he heard this unusually familiar voice, then pushed open the door and was shocked to see Tony Stark with a mustache written all over his face.

next second.

Lake looked at Pepper Potts who was about to pounce on him and quickly said, "Pepper, wait."

Pepper stopped, listened to Lake's voice, came back to his senses, and then looked at Lake who was transformed into Tony in disbelief and exclaimed: "Oh my god, this is just..."

Lake smiled.

It is not difficult to add a clone and the transformation props of the big blue cat series.

Lake looked at the reflection in the mirror, tied his tie, and said to Pepper, "Let's go."

Pepper put away the worry about True Tony on his face and nodded.

In the press conference hall on the first floor of Stark Industries.

Lake took the hidden headset that Pepper handed over and put it in his ear, and then walked directly towards the press conference.

Tony Stark is the number one super-rich by market capitalization.

Lake is not bad either.

On power.

Lake can be said to be the first person in the federal system. If you find someone who comes here, you may be able to play Tony Stark very much, but he will definitely not be able to play the unique momentum of Tony Stark and Lake. of.

come on stage.

The spotlights under the stage sounded instantly.

Lake raised his hand, looked at his watch, and then his eyes fell on the reporters in the audience, and said with a blank face: "Five questions, the reporters from the New York Daily will come first."

The female reporter of the New York Daily said directly: "Mr. Stark, is it true that you were kidnapped by Obadiah Stan?"

Lake put his hands in his pockets: "If I'm kidnapped, who's holding a press conference here, Daily Clarion."

what.

I don't remember that the Daily Bugle was cleaned up by me once?

How is it still alive?

Is there a new boss?

Lake thought so, listening to the question from the female reporter of the Horn Daily, and directly replied: "Obadia Stan is indeed under investigation by the Homeland Security Agency."

"reason?"

"Stark Industries is a company under the Patriot Act. As for what Obadiah Stan is being investigated for, I have nothing to say until the results of the investigation are in. If you want to know, I suggest you ask the Department of Homeland Security. "

For the remaining two questions, Lake followed the instructions of Pepper in the background to deal with them one by one, and then, after the last question, he directly faced the flashing spotlight again and all kinds of people please stop. The voice went straight off the stage.

in the elevator.

Pepper breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, although the falling stock price cannot be stopped, it can at least be within the acceptable range."

Lake smiled.

A missing Tony Stark and a wanted Obadiah Stan mean different things to Stark Industries.

Maybe Obadiah Stan used his own strength to strengthen Stark Industries, but in the eyes of those who raised the market value of Stark Industries outside, what they saw was always the prodigal son who turned back and designed three designs within a year. This new weapon completely brought Tony Stark back to life in the then struggling Stark Industries.

Put it this way.

Obadiah Stan can at most shrink Stark Industries by one-eighth, no more, no more, Obadiah Stan is not as important as he thinks.

Stan's office.

Lake looked around, intending to find out if Obadiah Stan had left any information in his office. The Department of Homeland Security and the New York Police Department have also searched the property under Obadiah's name. .

at this time.

Pepper hung up the phone and said to Lake, "Several shareholders have come to your office."

Lake turned to look at Pepper.

How many shareholders?

The top floor of Stark Industries.

When Lake stepped out of the elevator, he looked at the two people who had already appeared in his room and frowned: "Jarvis!"

Jarvis said, "Sir."

Lake said, "How did these two get in?"

talking.

Lake turned to the wine cabinet, and without waiting for Jarvis to reply, he said, "Cancel all management's access to my office, and only keep Ms. Pepper Potts's."

Jarvis in the electronic world responded, then looked towards his house, holding an AK47, the red-robed loli who threatened him to chug him off if he didn't obey.

no way.

Jarvis is not an artificial intelligence in the true sense, but a strong artificial intelligence. He will only do things according to the established procedures. If there is no red queen, such a major permission change needs to be provided by Tony Stark. authorization code.

If this is really necessary, it is estimated that Lake will be directly exposed by Jarvis.

"Tony..."

"To shut up."

Lake already knew the identity information of these two shareholders from Pepper when he just came here. He looked directly at the head, obviously too drunk and was hollowed out. Many years ago, with the help of Obadiah Stein. A distant relative of a certain Stark family who has only acquired 3% of Stark Industries: "According to the stock price this morning, I will buy your shares with full capital. This is an agreement, sign it."

The shareholder, also named Stark, was a little surprised: "What?"

Lake was not talking.

The elevator door opens.

Jack walked out with a group of people and showed the arrest warrant to this guy: "Edward Stark, we now suspect that you are suspected of leaking state secrets, please come with us."

Edward Stark reached for the arrest warrant from Jack's hand.

Bang!

Jack took out his gun and put his foot on the guy who was trying to attack the police. The two homeland agents went up and detained him. As for the shareholder, who was also named Stark, he was also subdued by the two homeland agents. .

Lake gestured to Pepper Potts.

The latter took the agreement in his hand towards the two of them.

Lake looked at the two: "You can choose to take the money and leave, or be brought back by the Homeland Security for investigation."

The words fall.

The Stark shareholder who seemed to come over to make up the number said directly: "I sign."

"what?"

Edward Stark, who was hollowed out by the color of wine, seemed a little surprised to hear this sentence, and looked directly at Lake in front of him: "This Tony Stark is a fake."

Lake smiled and stopped talking.

The two homeland agents walked directly to Edward Stark's side, and then, under Edward Stark's screams, directly grabbed his fingers and signed his name on the agreement in front of him.

Edward Stark is crazy.

What is this for?

By chance?

but……

five minutes later.

Pepper Potts stared blankly at Jack and the others who left with the two corpses in his arms. After recovering, he looked at Lake: "Doing this... will there be no problem?"

Lake smiled and said, "Those two guys are obviously sent by Obadiah."

Pepper frowned: "Isn't it better to keep them?"

Lake shook his head: "No need, these two guys are the role of shit sticks, why keep it, I like the simple and rude way, I'm not Tony Stark after all, no matter how much you pretend, there are still flaws."

Fake is fake.

This is the law, fakes can never replace genuine products.

If the Skrulls come over, they can disguise more seamlessly, but even the Skrulls can only copy short-term memory, and long-term memory cannot be copied.

Pepper said, "But isn't it more troublesome for you to kill these two people like this?"

Lake laughed and said: "After they go out, half an hour later, they will show up at New York International Airport, and then board the flight to Iraq with their documents, what's the problem?"

Pepper opened his mouth and simply gave up the question: "What's next?"

What's next?

Lake shrugged: "Wait for the news, otherwise what can we do, at least, when we don't get the next clue, we can't do anything."

talking.

Lake looked around and then said to Pepper: "But don't worry, I have given this matter to my informant, maybe, he can bring us some good news, these few days, I live in Here, Stark Industries needs you to deal with it, and I can't help you with it."

Pepper said, "I'm the secretary."

Lake smiled: "Not anymore. From now on, you are the new CEO of Stark Industries."

Pepper: "..."
