No taboos in the world

Chapter 199 Ross provokes, Hulk is released

Next to the long table inlaid with gold borders, Hong Chen and Jiali sat next to each other on the sofa, Tony and Pepper were on the left, and Natasha sat on the single sofa on the right.

Most people in the hall focused their attention on the host who was speaking on the stage.

The charitable goal of this banquet is to provide donations to people in need from all walks of life. It can be considered a relatively large-scale social event.

As mentioned earlier, the core of the election is to see who can show off better, and this is the best place to show off.

Facing the cameras that are almost everywhere in the scene, whether they are from politics, business or the entertainment industry, everyone straightens their backs and tries their best to show their best side.

Of course, these circles are inextricably linked.

However, Hong Chen definitely wouldn't care at all.

Even if those media were given ten times more courage, they would not dare to casually discredit important CIA figures in their reports.

Unless it is a media that supports the enemy, but such an opponent does not exist at the moment.

Therefore, he leaned lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed, with whiskey in one hand and cigar in the other, and the beauty by his side, feeling so comfortable.

Similarly, Tony, who never cared about news reports or gossip magazine exaggerations, was lying on the sofa at this time, ignoring Pepper's reminder.

However, his eyes would always secretly glance at Hong Chen: "It turns out that he was the one who saved me."

Tony was quite distressed at the moment, not knowing how to deal with it, but at the same time he couldn't help his curiosity.

These two were the unique and interesting people at the dinner party.

Compared to Tony, who is so familiar to everyone, Hong Chen's face is a little unfamiliar. Those who should know him must know him but dare not say anything, and those who don't know him can ask around but can't find the answer.

"...We need to create a new era together. We will definitely make this country great again!"

Hong Chen laughed out loud.

In an instant, the banquet hall, which should have been filled with applause, suddenly became silent.

Countless eyes flocked over.

Wang on the stage was not embarrassed. Instead, he nodded to Hong Chen with a smile on his face, and spoke again, half to rescue and half to remind him.

"I'm glad to hear Hong's laughter. To me, this is undoubtedly an urging from a practical practitioner to an idealist. Don't think I'm drunk. I dare say that Director Hong is currently the most important key member of the CIA. He has made countless contributions. I hope that I can become a person like him in the future!"

There was an uproar.

It was not because of Wang’s praise, but because of Hong Chen’s identity.

Those looks of scrutiny or disgust immediately turned away.

As an unexpected protagonist, Hong Chen also had to say that Wang was a man who could talk.

So he handed the wine glass to Jiali, nibbled on his cigar, slowly stood up, and under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, stretched out their hands and applauded him.

At this moment, his eyes only had one meaning: 'You have made your way wider!'

Tony, who was standing by, immediately stood up and agreed, and then the banquet hall burst into thunderous applause.

moment.

The auction began on the stage, with artworks, luxury goods and personal belongings provided by some celebrities and supermodels.

Of course, art is the least valuable, as all auction proceeds go to charity funds.

Hong Chen doesn't understand funds or capital.

But he barely understands human nature.

So at this point, he felt even more bored.

Fortunately, there was Wang by his side to provide him with entertainment from time to time, Tony would also say a few words from time to time, and with Pepper, a lady with high emotional intelligence, to warm up the atmosphere, the atmosphere was not awkward.

Interestingly, Gali and Natasha started chatting and seemed to be quite interested.

"Hong, what I said just now was not a lie. I have always admired people like you, because only doers like you can truly promote the progress of the world." Wang raised the wine glass with a serious look in his eyes.

The two glasses clinked lightly, Hong Chen took a sip of the wine, and spoke with a faint smile.

"Why, you also want to be the boss?"

Wang pursed his lips, his eyes bright, "I do have this idea, and I think I can do it well."

Then you have to defeat my dear father-in-law first, and pray to your God that he won't eat you.

"Then I wish you good luck."

"Haha, it's too early to talk about this now. I just had an idea. I'll go check on the other guests. Please feel free to come to me if you need anything." Finally, he moved closer to Hong Chen and whispered, "There is another branch venue upstairs. If you are interested, you can go up and take a look."

Wang politely turned away, and Hong Chen looked at Tony: "What is the branch venue?"

Hearing this, Tony said nothing and just gave him a strange smile.

Hong Chen understood immediately.

Then, Tony was pulled by Pepper: "Don't talk nonsense." Turning around, she apologized to Hong Chen, but her eyes were looking at Jiali.

After the last order cancellation incident, Pepper already knew about the relationship between Gally and Hong Chen. She didn't want to be misunderstood by Gally. Although the CIA couldn't do anything to Stark Industries, no one wanted to make enemies with others for no reason.

But unexpectedly.

"It's okay." Jiali waved her hand and turned to ask Hong Chen: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Hong Chen looked back into her eyes and raised his brows.

Jiali looked straight ahead: "You know, I never lie to you."

Hong Chen paused and shook his head: "No."

"Okay," Jiali responded, and then picked up a piece of cake and started eating it as if nothing had happened.

But this brief exchange left Pepper and Natasha silent, and made Tony cry.

As expected, the three women got together, and Tony finally found an opportunity to talk to Hong Chen.

However, Tony still hesitated for a long time before speaking reluctantly: "Um...I...that...thank you."

"Oh, thank you a little late."

"That's because you didn't answer my call!"

"Do I have your phone number?"

“…No, but I called you.”

Hong Chen: "Haha, I don't answer strange calls."

Quiet.

Tony pursed his lips, his eyes gradually becoming bolder.

Soon, Hong Chen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

He frowned slightly: "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Of course not!" Tony retorted, then looked at the wine glass on the table, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Abruptly, he said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Hong Chen responded casually, looking at the celebrity bikinis being auctioned for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the stage and fell into deep thought: Why didn't the auctioneer tell us whether it had been washed or not? The difference between the two should be huge. It's really unprofessional!

Tony lowered his head and lowered his voice: "I don't know who you are, let alone why you want to help me, but as a person who has received help, I will not directly speculate on you with malice, so if there is anything you need me to do, you can always come to me."

"Ah."

"I didn't expect you to be the mysterious man. To be honest, my current armor was made specifically to deal with you."

"Oh."

"I have some new ideas now. Are you interested in...discussing with me again?"

"No."

"Well, actually it doesn't matter. I don't really want to fight with you. I saw what you did in New Mexico, and I don't think I'm your match. But, can you teach me...your skills?" The transaction price on the stage was exactly one million US dollars, and applause broke out again from the audience, along with laughter.

Hong Chen smiled and applauded the power of LSP, and turned back: "What did you just say?"

"No, nothing." Tony's face twitched and he shook his head repeatedly.

Just as he was about to speak, an unwelcome person suddenly approached and sat down next to him.

"Tony Stark, long time no see." After hastily greeting Tony, he turned and extended his hand to Hong Chen: "Hello, Director Hong, I am Thaddeus E. Ross."

Wearing a suit and with sharp eyes.

Hong Chen took a look and said with a smile: "General Ross, I have heard of you."

Ross smiled and said, "I've heard of your name before. Everyone says you're the best agent in the CIA."

At this time, Tony frowned and interrupted: "Rose, what are you doing here?"

However, Ross didn't even look at him, but smiled and said to Hong Chen: "Director Hong, I wonder if we can talk alone?"

There was something wrong with his expression and eyes.

This is easy to see.

This actually made him a little interested.

"Is there anything that cannot be said now?" Hong Chen looked around. No one was nearby to disturb him. "Tony is my... friend. You can say whatever you want."

Ross glanced at Tony and said, "I can see that you two are indeed friends, but are you sure he knows some things too?"

"I know much more than you know." Tony showed his strange desire to win.

Ross nodded slightly, his chin raised slightly.

"Do you remember that I tried so hard to catch Hulk that I even tracked him all the way to Rio de Janeiro?"

As soon as these words came out, Tony's brows suddenly tightened.

Hong Chen also understood that Ross might have found some evidence that he was the mysterious man.

From this perspective, he is even more efficient than SHIELD.

But what's the use?
Hong Chen didn't beat around the bush with him, nor did he care whether he had really obtained any decisive evidence. He asked directly: "Do you think I care?"

Hearing this, Tony's brows couldn't help but relax: That's right, even I can tell the world that I am Iron Man, so how could he hide his true identity?
Thinking of this, he laughed, folded his hands and looked at Ross with interest.

Obviously, Ross did not expect Hong Chen to respond like this.

His expression changed, and his brows furrowed. “Do you know what the consequences would be if everyone knew that you were an outlier?”

"as a result of?"

Hong Chen crushed the cigar, "Do you think you can beat me, or can you command the mold to capture me? Or do you think I will be like Hulk, only able to escape and not know how to fight back?"

At that moment, Ross narrowed his eyes.

"So, you want to betray?"

"Are you judging me?"

"Aren't we chatting?"

Hong Chen glanced at his chest.

Ross's hands on his legs tightened involuntarily.

Tony frowned deeply: "You even brought a recorder?"

Ross said stubbornly: "No."

Tony said coldly: "I didn't expect a general would use such means. I am really ashamed of you."

"Tony Stark, please watch your words."

Tony sneered, "If you think my words are problematic, then I also know a little bit about boxing."

Ross retorted: "I didn't expect a businessman would dare to threaten to beat up a general. I'm really ashamed of you..."

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.

Hong Chen just swung his hand back and Ross immediately rolled off the sofa.

The three-star admiral covered his face with his hands, his eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

The people who were secretly watching around suddenly fell silent at this moment, and this atmosphere quickly spread. The dead silence made the auctioneer on the stage stand there in a daze, holding the hammer, not daring to move.

"Tony."

"Huh? Uh...what happened?"

"Tell me, what did you learn?"

"..."

Tony looked up and saw the eyes around him that were even more shocked and terrified than those of Ross, the person involved. He couldn't help but whispered, "I think maybe we should go."

"Should I be the one to leave?"

Hong Chen looked down at Ross and said, "You were the one who provoked me first. Did you think about this beforehand?"

Ross also came back to his senses at this time. He put down his hand, stood up slowly under the attention of everyone, and slowly straightened his clothes. Then he leaned on the table with his hands and leaned towards Hong Chen, saying with a stern look: "You are finished."

Hong Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The next moment, countless exclamations and screams rose at the same time.

The bloody ashtray slipped from Ross's bloody palm.

Hong Chen clapped his hands and glanced at Tony: "If you can take action, try not to make any noise."

Tony was dumbfounded.

I thought I was the most arrogant and unruly person in the world, but I didn't expect that there was someone more brave than me. Whose general is he?

At this time, Pepper came over and looked at Ross who was sitting on the ground holding his hands and crying in pain, and said worriedly: "Hong, Tony, let's leave first."

Jiali frowned unhappily and looked at Ross with a murderous look: "You are looking for death!"

Natasha: We are indeed a family.

"Mr. Hong, Mr. Stark, Ms. Pepper is right. I think we should leave so that it will be easier to handle the follow-up."

Ross's face and hands hurt, but he didn't feel like he had failed. On the contrary, he felt that he was closer to success.

Hong Chen picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't worry, I haven't even watched the dinner program prepared by General Ross yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to him, an angry roar suddenly came from outside.

A sound like that of a wild beast rolled back from the distance.

General Ross's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up without caring about the pain and said in a lost voice: "How is it possible?!"

This is so possible!
Moss had already infiltrated Ross's military base, and the seemingly unbreakable underground cage had long been secretly controlled by Moss.

Although Ross changed his strategy and used his daughter to appease Banner so that he could draw blood for research, he still made a lot of preparations in the cage.

All Moss has to do is power up the cage, and Banner will instantly transform into the angry Hulk.

Of course, Moss did much more than that.

Bronski, who was defeated by Hulk and Hong Chen successively, has long been coveting such power.

Tonight, people all over the city can watch another free show.

"Now tell me, who's finished?"
