American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others

Chapter 34 Tony Stark's invitation

Lynn Hall has been waiting for James Duke to reveal his identity and then "coerce" himself to join Hydra.

After all, whether it is asking him to kill Kevin Robert or joining the Brotherhood, the exquisite brooch representing Hydra is given to him.

Or this time, the "corrosion" incident of the vampire family black card is enough to prove that he has fallen into the trap of Hydra.

But James Duke just doesn't reveal his identity.

And he pretends to be very troubled, saying that there are a large number of ghosts in the government who want to extend their lifespans.

Ha, when did the FBI need to give face to the government? You must know that the FBI is affiliated with the Department of Justice. In recent years, it has investigated and arrested many people in the government and the military, so this is simply nonsense!

If Lynn Hall has the ability to read minds, he can know what James Duke is thinking.

Then he would definitely tell Duke that he was his most loyal henchman, and he was not as righteous as they thought!

Unfortunately, Lynn did not have the ability to read minds, so he could only leave with the black card.

After returning to his office, Lynn opened his laptop and checked the account, and found that the amount in the black card was as much as 10 million US dollars.

This amount of money was nothing for the long-standing vampire family.

But for Lynn Hall, it was a huge windfall.

Originally, I was thinking that after Stark Industries' stock soared, I would buy the large flat in Central Park that I had been thinking about for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the plan could be realized ahead of time!

Thanks to the generous Hydra!

At the same time, in Malibu Beach, Tony Stark's sea view villa!

"Tony, I don't understand what you have been doing all this time!"

Looking at Tony Stark who was drinking black and green vegetable juice in front of him, Pepper put down the document and said: "Although the stock price of Stark Industries has gradually stabilized during this period, it has fallen by 73% compared to before."

"During this period, Mr. Obadiah Stan has been trying to persuade the members of the board of directors to be patient with you."

"But the outside world's criticism of Stark Industries, especially your decision to permanently close the weapons manufacturing department, has never diminished!"

At this point, Pepper put the document in front of Tony Stark.

"Tony, if you can't come up with the corresponding..."

"Pepper, are the weapons I make really just, used to protect our country, protect innocent civilians, and maintain world peace?"

Before Pepper finished speaking, Tony Stark interrupted.

"Isn't it?"

Pepper didn't react to Tony's sudden question for a while.

However, thinking of Tony's previous experience, Pepper's tone became softer: "Tony, I know that you suffered a lot of inhuman torture during your time in the Middle East."

"But Stark Industries"

"Pepper, do you know how many innocent civilians died under the weapons I developed?"

Looking at Pepper, Tony Stark rarely looked serious: "To be honest, I don't know, because no one has counted it, but I know very well that the number must be more than I thought."

"And they don't have such good luck as me. Even if they survive by chance, they can build an Ark reactor to prevent shrapnel from flowing into the heart through the blood vessels."

"Tony..."

"I have always thought that everything I did was just, but now it seems that this is not the case!"

Pick up the remote control and turn on the TV.

At this moment, the TV screen shows the Middle Eastern people who were driven out of the village by armed forces and displaced.

"I don't know how many weapons made by Stark Industries have flowed into the hands of these armed forces over the years."

"But I know that every bullet and every bomb that Stark Industries flows into the Middle East is an accomplice of those armed forces!"

After hearing what Tony said, Pepper was silent for a moment: "Tony, this is not your fault."

"Of course, this is certainly not my fault."

Spreading his hands to Pepper, Tony Stark continued: "But those weapons were developed by me!"

As Tony's personal assistant and secretary, Pepper knew very well that Tony Stark had gotten into a dead end at this moment.

The more he told him that this was not his responsibility at this time, the more he would think that these weapons were developed by him, so he was one of the culprits of all this.

Thinking of this, Pepper suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think of the cover girl in the latest issue of the entertainment magazine?"

"Maybe I can help you throw a party and invite her in your name"

"Compared to the cover girl, Pepper, I want to do two things now!"

"What?"

After hearing Tony Stark say this, Pepper asked curiously.

"First, I want to eat two cheeseburgers now."

"Of course you can!"

"Second, I want to know through what channels the weapons made by Stark Industries flowed into the Middle East, and I was attacked and kidnapped in the Middle East, things are definitely not that simple!"

"I can't do anything about this!"

Looking at Tony Pepper, he said, "Do you need me to help you hire some private detectives to investigate?"

"Private detective? Pepper, I don't think they can find out anything!"

Tony Stark took out his cell phone while saying, "Remember the FBI agent who rescued me from the Middle East?"

"Mr. Lynn Hall?"

"Yes!"

Tony took out his cell phone and found Lynn Hall's number. He looked at Pepper and said, "If he is willing to accept my employment request, I believe he can definitely find out the truth with his ability!"

"Are you sure he will be willing to help?"

"I really appreciate him from the bottom of my heart."

"That is to say, you recognize him very much, but it is far from the relationship with Rhodes, right!"

"That can't be said... I think... Anyway, I'm going to invite him to dinner!"

As the person who knows Tony best, Pepper knows how difficult it is to make Tony regard someone as a true friend from the bottom of his heart.

So after standing up from the sofa, Pepper looked at Tony and said, "Since you want to invite Mr. Hall to dinner, and you have something to ask of him."

"It would be too rude to have only two cheeseburgers on the table. I'll go arrange dinner now."

"By the way, I remember you have a few bottles of twenty-year-old red wine in your wine cellar, right!"

"Pepper, that was my last few years..."

Halfway through his words, looking at Pepper's expression, Tony Stark spread his hands and said, "You know, being able to have dinner with a genius like me is something that many people can't even ask for."

Looking at Tony's arrogant look, Pepper felt helpless and turned away!
