Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics
Chapter 89: The Opening Ceremony of The Stark Expo
“Ms. Poz, Colonel Rhodes is calling, he wants to talk to you.”
At the Stark Building, Pepper had just negotiated various arrangements with Director George, and Natalie walked over and whispered in Pepper’s ear.
“What! Are you for real…?”
After answering the phone and listening for a while, Pepper suddenly exclaimed.
Natalie looked at her inquisitively.
When Colonel Rhodes called over just now, his voice was very anxious. The case he presented seemed to be related to the military’s renewed pressure to ask Tony Stark to hand in the Iron-Man suit.
James Rhodes and Tony are friends who grew up playing together, and he has a high position in the military.
Regardless of his rank as Colonel in the Air Force, Rhodes is also the Minister of the Army’s Weapons Development Department, and he specialized in weapons transactions with Stark Industries before Tony closed the weapons department. He is a loyal friend!
Rhodes was agitated, hence, a big deal is in his concern.
But obviously, Rhodes won’t be talking to a new assistant about this kind of thing. As a result, Natalie didn’t know what Rhodes wanted Pepper for.
However, judging from Pepper’s reaction, it isn’t a trivial matter.
This made Natalie very curious.
Natalie was watching attentively Pepper’s face, changing again and again, from shock, to anger, and finally back to calm.
“…Okay, I agree with you. Then do what you said, this won’t harm Tony, right?”
From the time he received the call, Pepper said only two sentences, and then she hung up.
“Is it urgent?”
Natalie asked with concern.
“Thank you for your concern, but it’s no big deal. You don’t have to worry too much about this.”
Pepper forced herself and smiled at Natalie.
Natalie saw the unnaturalness of Pepper’s expression. Something complex had obviously just happened, but she was in a special situation now and couldn’t monitor Pepper’s phone, otherwise, she wouldn’t need to tap sideways.
“With Jarvis, the usual technology is no different to Stark from children’s games.”
That’s right, Natalie is not just an ordinary assistant, her true identity is the top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Natasha Romanov.
The Tony Palladium poisoning incident is not top secret. Not only Ivan Vanko, his enemy, knows about this, but also S.H.I.E.L.D. is closely monitoring Tony’s movements.
In fact, S.H.I.E.L.D. had anticipated this possibility of Tony having palladium poisoning before Tony himself.
Especially in recent months, Tony’s behavior was too abnormal. Fury ordered Natasha to disguise as Natalie. She took advantage of the opportunity that Tony was planning to hire a new assistant at the time to lurk by his side.
Her task is to find out about Tony’s current physical condition and assess him to see if he is worthy of joining the Avengers project.
As a result, Tony changed hands and gave the position of CEO to Pepper, which made Natasha’s work a lot more burdensome.
To be honest, Natasha has a very bad impression of Tony, arrogant, mouthy, sloppy, self-righteous, unable to listen to others…
Good God… his flaws are unlimited.
In any case, she has to continue her undercover mission, and Pepper doesn’t want to give her the data she needs. Natasha has to give up.
It would be too deliberate to ask further.
Then the two began their daily tasks, and Pepper had to think about how to deal with the press conference at night.
Meanwhile, in Hammer Industries, inside a secret laboratory.
“Why did you take the liberty of changing the battlesuit into a drone?”
Justin Hammer is very upset. As the head of Hammer Industries, he is wholeheartedly thinking about every way to beat Stark Industries.
So, he took the risk to rescue Ivan Vanko from prison, because Ivan is the second genius scientist in the world who can independently develop a miniature nuclear reactor, at least in the eyes of Hammer.
Arms accounted for almost all of Hammer Industries’ revenue. Originally, after Stark Industries announced the closure of the arms division, the US military’s orders from Hammer Industries increased dozens of times.
However, when Iron Man appeared, the military’s attention was completely focused on the suit, and they began to use various means to force Tony.
Unfortunately, Tony’s last name is Stark, and in a country like the United States of America, no one can really force him, unless Tony wants to commit treason.
So, Hammer tried to work with Ivan to produce the Hammer Industries battlesuit.
As a result, Ivan changed his suit into a drone.
This made Hammer very angry, and he thought Ivan was wasting his money.
“Trust me, drones are better.”
Ivan, however, did not give a damn about Hammer, knowing very well that it was Hammer who needed his technology now.
“People will make trouble, but drones won’t.”
Seeing that Ivan looked like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Hammer had no choice but to let Ivan do his best.
“The Stark Expo will begin soon, and you better pray that these drones will win everyone’s applause!”
“I can rescue you from prison, naturally I can send you back!”
Hammer threatened fiercely.
Ever since, time passed under the surging tide.
The opening ceremony of the Stark Expo is around the corner.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the expo, some of them were really interested in the exhibition, and some wanted to see the true identity of Phantom Kid.
On the outer wall, Kid’s notice letter remained intact. Tony even specially asked someone to maintain it.
George stood with thousands of police officers outside the fair, because Tony ordered to prohibit the police from stepping into his central pavilion.
Even if Pepper spoke up, he wouldn’t change his mind about them.
The opening ceremony is Tony Stark’s solo show, and there will only be one thing on display today, and that is the first generation of Arc Reactor.
A plane flew over the expo; it was Tony’s private jet.
“Confirm the altitude, wind direction, air velocity…”
Tony put on the Mark 4 and jumped off the plane. Propellers mounted on the palms and the soles of his feet and immediately were activated. He dived down swiftly.
“Boom!”
In an instant, he had the iron battlesuit on, and an explosion sounded. Tony… Iron Man fell from the sky like a meteor and was on the verge of the ground in just a few tens of seconds.
When Iron Man was about to land on the booth of the Expo Center Pavilion, the thruster stopped accelerating, and then his body turned upside down, turning on the thruster again to counteract the downward impulse.
He was suspended two or three meters above the booth.
As soon as Iron Man appeared, the audience immediately boiled over. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, Iron Man performed a standard heroic landing.
Commonly known as kneeling on one knee.
The mask of Mark IV opened automatically, revealing Tony’s face.
Then, the performance continued.
A group of dancers cosplaying Iron Man came out from the backstage, and Tony danced with them in public, while wearing his suit
