In an old house in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Romeo is assembling the machine in his hand, which is a super-large mouse!
[The invention "Mouse No. 1" was appreciated by Tony Stark and received a small amount of ruby]
At the same time, red light flashed in the eyes of the giant rat, as if some kind of program was being activated.
"Hey hey hey~"
"who I am!"
"I am a genius inventor, the legendary Frankenstein!"
Romeo pushed up the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled strangely.
"When my Rat Emperor is finished, I can rule the world!"
…
Craig Hollis, he gave himself a nice nickname, Mr. Immortal!
He is a hot-headed guy. After being fooled by Kong for a few words, he used his remaining savings to book a flight to New York with the idea of saving New York and debuting in the C position.
The point is, there are still two!
This directly made the already poor family even worse. Of course, if Lan Yu didn't come with him, Craig himself would be frightened.
After all, it is a major task to save New York. It is not advisable to fight alone. With Lan Yu by his side, Craig feels that he will become famous this time!
So after leaving some living expenses for the Blank siblings and Romeo, and with the dream of becoming a uniformed hero, he came to New York with only two days of food money.
Craig's original script went like this.
Evil super criminals have taken New York under their control, and the citizens of New York are in dire straits.
But at this moment, the real hero appeared. Mr. Immortal and his assistants appeared. They fought against evil and penetrated justice!
Then amid flowers and applause, New York is saved, and Mr. Immortal becomes the new nemesis of evil!
At least until the plane landed, this was the script in Craig's mental theater, and he even began to design his own signature.
As a result, after getting off the plane, Craig felt completely bad.
New York was so peaceful that he couldn't even drink coffee, so he had to go to the bathroom to quench his thirst with cold water!
This is too abominable, Sora actually deceived him.
Craig had no idea that New York was going to be in chaos, and that made him feel bad.
Not only because he couldn't become a superhero, but also because he underestimated the price of goods in New York. The money he originally reserved for two days of meals was probably not enough for three meals.
But it was already here, and it was unrealistic to go back home now. Craig spent two coins in pain and got on the bus to Stark Industries Building with Lan Yu.
Thanks to Lan Yu's help in making an appointment before, otherwise he and Lan Yu wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Stark Industries right now.
Now, Mr. Immortal is drinking juice and waiting in the living room for the final trial of the Technology Investment Department!
…
Stark Industries Building, in a conference room.
Mr. Immortal's dream of saving New York was temporarily put aside by Craig. At this time, he was holding juice with a troubled face and nestled on the sofa in the living room.
As a senior burger orderer, it was an unprecedented first time for him to discuss cooperation with Stark Industries.
Craig couldn't be said to be very nervous, he could only be said to be numb all over.
He is now under a lot of pressure. Whether Romeo's Mouse One can obtain investment from Stark Industries is directly related to their future food problems.
If the investment is successful and the investment fails, Craig will probably have to consider how to return to Wisconsin.
"Why is there no news yet!"
Craig couldn't bear it anymore.
Although the staff in charge of the reception said that it had been reported to the technology investment department, and all that was left was to wait patiently for the results.
But he and Lan Yu have been waiting in the room for more than three hours.
He drank a jug of juice, went to the toilet twice, and finished the snack platter.
Tell me whether this investment will succeed or not, whether it will be life or death!
Craig felt like a fish on the chopping block, waiting for the final judgment.
Contrary to Craig's restlessness, Lan Yu didn't feel nervous at all.
He was leaning on the sofa, holding juice in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and flipping through Rolling Stone Magazine with his right hand, looking very comfortable.
…
"Why!"
Looking at a table of dismantled mouse parts, Pepper shook her head helplessly.
Tony never grew up, and sometimes he was as willful as a child.
She remembered that Mr. Hollis was still waiting for news in the living room. Since Tony had already made his investment intention, there was no need for feedback from the technology investment department, and he only needed to negotiate a quotation.
Thinking of this, Pepper picked up the landline and called the investment department.
There was no need for her to negotiate such a small matter in person. What was more important now was Tony's safety.
Tony himself could be heartless, but she couldn't. Thinking that Tony might be kidnapped at any time, Pepper became extremely flustered.
It was indeed like Tony said, just four robbers, nothing to make a fuss about.
But Pepper may have been too tired from work recently. Ever since she added a trip to Afghanistan to Tony's itinerary, she has always felt uncomfortable. She just had a strange premonition that something was going to happen to Tony recently.
"I still need to contact Yin Sable, otherwise I won't be at ease."
Pepper pressed her eyebrows. She was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. She didn't want anything to happen to Tony.
Silver Sable International Security Company is a mercenary group led by Silver Sablinova.
They have been active in New York in recent years and have always had a good reputation in the industry. It should be no problem to leave the protection of Tony to them.
Thinking of this, Pepper dialed Silver's personal phone number. They had actually met before.
"Silver?"
"When will your team be in place?"
"good."
"Remuneration is not an issue. We can discuss it in person."
hang up the phone.
Pepper felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief. At the latest early tomorrow morning, if not tonight, the Silver Sable security personnel would be in place, so that there would be no problems before Tony attended the Pinnacle Awards ceremony.
After the award ceremony, Rhodes will send Tony to the Afghan military zone. With soldiers protecting him, there won't be any problems, right?
"Um, do you want to talk to Mr. Obadiah about Tony?"
Pepper looked at the landline on the desk and was stunned for a moment.
After much hesitation, he dialed Mr. Obadiah’s personal number.
Obadiah Stanely is one of the shareholders of Stark Industries and a good friend of Tony's father, Howard Stark. He cares about Tony very much and the two of them are treated like uncle and nephew.
Tony still respects this uncle.
Perhaps she should have asked Mr. Obadiah to persuade Tony.
"Dudu..."
No one answered, so Pepper called again, but Obadiah still couldn't get through.
Forget it, Tony has made arrangements anyway.
Pepper put down the phone, thinking to herself.
I guess Mr. Obadiah is busy with something tonight.
Maybe he was drinking with an important guest!
