In his daze, Stark finally remembered something. At a banquet many years ago. Killian, the young man who begged him for investment. It's just that Killian was extremely depressed at the time. His words and deeds all reveal a sense of caution. At that time, he was mingling with many powerful people, trying to get an investment. It was completely different from the high-spirited and ruthless character I saw today.
"Killian, you're Killian, the one who came to me for investment years ago. Look, I'm sorry I left you hanging on the rooftop. I drank too much that night."
"No, you didn't drink too much. You were just eager to have sex with a beautiful lady. For a little person like me, you may not even know that you made a promise. You just said it casually. I know. In our world, this kind of thing is actually not unacceptable. The strong can always dominate the weak at will. The weak have no ability to resist.
But when this principle is applied today, there is nothing wrong with it. Because now I am more powerful than you. So I can change the rules at will. I think you must have traumatized me. So I'm back to take revenge on you. Have an opinion? "
"Of course not. I can make amends. Killian, listen, I'm sorry for what happened back then. But what you do now will destroy you. I can invest in your company, no matter how much money you have. . But you can't go on like this. Let me go, I won't take any revenge. "
"No, thanks to you. I found a better investor. You know what? Stark, the final script of this revenge is not that I kill you. Because I have prepared a new climax for you. I I want you to see with your own eyes that I succeeded. That young man who you wouldn’t even look at in the eyes has fulfilled his dream. And the most important thing is that I will complete this last link in you. Believe me , that won’t do you much harm, and can even give you great power. It’s just that there may not be those hot chicks lying on your bed in the future. They will look at you differently. .”
Stark didn't know what the last link the other party was talking about was? But he instinctively felt something was wrong. Just about to open his mouth to defend. The mercenary named Hogan on the side took action again. The severe pain once again made Stark worse than death. Moreover, the other party seemed to have injected him with some kind of neurological drug. He found that he was extremely conscious and could not faint even if he wanted to. I can only endure that kind of abuse endlessly.

"Hanmer Industry is already strong enough. But the establishment of a new department cannot be completely according to your wishes. The establishment of this kind of intelligence department will involve a lot of exchange of political interests. No offense, but from Judging by the color of your skin, this is absolutely impossible.”
"Okay, I take back what I just said. Your political consciousness is not that low. I really can't do it alone. The influence of Hammer Industries is indeed limited. But if you add Stark Group, there will be no problem. .”
"Stark's life and death are uncertain now, how could he do such a thing. No, you found Stark."
"I just received the news. It's not absolutely confirmed yet, but it's almost certain."
"Where is he? I need to organize a rescue operation immediately."
"Although it's a little strange to say this. But if someone from SHIELD takes action, it's almost impossible for you to save him."
"Is he from Hydra?"
"To be precise, it's a certain branch of Hydra. But even though there are many factions of Hydra, there is still no problem with basic intelligence sharing. As soon as you move, the other party will receive the news."
"Then you still won't take action?"
"Don't be anxious. The other side won't kill Stark. At least not for the time being. I think it's better to wait."
"Wait a minute, Tony Stark is of extremely high value to the government and SHIELD. He can't have any accidents."
"Why not. He has been missing for a month. The US government and SHIELD are operating normally. So there is no problem if he disappears for a few days. What's more, these days of being unable to control himself may make him realize , what kind of virtue is oneself?”
"...You seem to dislike him."
"It's true. In fact, for most men, this guy is an extremely annoying existence. If you can name three people who have been in contact with him and don't hate him, I will take back what I just said. .”
Coulson subconsciously wanted to refute him. But when it came to his mouth, he found that his rebuttal was filled with a sense of powerlessness. Because according to his understanding, Stark's character is indeed very problematic.
"So when exactly are you going to rescue him?"
"Soon, after Fury's plan is over, I will organize people to get him back. Then I will let you lead the team personally. Believe me, Stark will be grateful to you. Once my plan is implemented. Stark will definitely support you."
"I'm still thinking about this."
Is Coulson tempted by the prospects described by Shen Yi? of course. Go a step further and even master a separate department. This is undoubtedly the basic pursuit of a senior agent. Even in the original work, Coulson didn't show much desire for power. But at this time, he had not experienced the later test of life and death. There is no such excessive vicissitudes and precipitation. There is still that kind of further passion in my bones. It's just that his high moral standards make him feel instinctively repelled by this kind of power-for-money transactions.
"I believe you will respond correctly. You know, the new department I want to form is not to deal with the incidents that SHIELD has dealt with before. It is to fight against the dark side of the world. When the time comes, I will All the equipment in this laboratory is open to you. And you will face unprecedented enemies. Coulson, this is not just a deal, but also a trust. I don't believe that others can control this power. .”
"Pick a good guy to be your spokesperson. That's not your usual style."
After Colson left, Ada joked to Shen Yi.
"We keep telling ourselves that to survive in this world, we need to be cold and decisive. Even ruthless. Because we know the dangers of this world. So we use the dark side as our protective color. But the more this happens, the more eager we will be. Meet those truly good people. Because even a truly bad person would actually like to have a good person as his friend. After all, that way, he can sleep peacefully."
