Tony only appeared at the SHIELD Center in New York half a month after this meeting.
but……
Tony only showed up once. After saying thank you to Barbara, he turned and left, probably to look for the evil spirit or the Winter Soldier.
It is said that the reunion scene half a month ago was not very good.
"It is said?"
"Um."
Barbara said this when having lunch with Beck: "Pepper told me that Howard Stark wanted Tony Stark to forgive Bucky."
"forgive?"
"Howard said that Bucky was controlled by someone when they killed him. Howard hoped that Tony could find Bucky and rescue him."
"…What did Tony say?"
"Let's break up unhappy."
Barbara looked like she could do anything else, then frowned and looked at Baker: "Was Bucky under control at that time?"
Baker smiled and said, "It's none of my business."
"That means he's under control."
When Barbara heard what Baker said, she already made a decision in her heart, and then said with some suspicion: "But if Bucky is controlled by someone, then Bucky is innocent."
Baker laughed twice: "You can tell Tony Stark about this."
If Tony thought Bucky was innocent, would he still have a big fight with his father, Howard?
Barbara glanced at Baker: "You have killed a lot of people."
Baker nodded honestly: "Yes, so, the people I killed were all bad guys, and no one can go to heaven."
Barbara: "..."
He is the founder of heaven. Everyone else is qualified to go to heaven. Only the people he killed are not qualified. Sometimes, they are not even qualified to go to hell.
"Then what?"
"What then?"
Baker admitted that he had a tendency to gossip: "What's the final result? Who does Maria Stark stand for?"
Barbara asked, "What do you think?"
Beck shrugged.
Howard Stark was also a playboy when he was young, and according to Howard's young temperament, women are like clothes and brothers are like siblings. Naturally, Howard will definitely forgive Bucky.
But Maria Stark?
Howard just lost his life, but Maria Stark lost her son. A woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong. Baker felt that maybe Maria Stark didn't express her position? But she would definitely stand and express herself for her. On the side of her vengeful son.
Baker thought and looked at Barbara.
Barbara smiled and changed the subject directly: "Hey, what do you think? Do you want to tell Steve about this?"
Baker said: "Unless you want to start civil war mode? Otherwise, it's none of your business? Don't get involved."
"civil war?"
"Do you think Ms. Carter knows that Tony Stark is hunting Bucky all over the world?"
"certainly."
"Then do you think Ms. Carter told Steve about this matter?"
"……no?"
"Definitely not!"
If Ms. Carter told Captain Steve Rogers that Bucky was still alive, haha? At this moment, Steve would not be in the whirlpool of a love triangle, but should also embark on a search for the world. My best friend is on his way.
and.
Baker took out his wallet from his arms, took out two Franklins and pressed them under the bourbon. He looked at Barbara and said, "There are no saints in this world? Never."
If Steve Rogers was really dedicated to the country or the law? Then he would not have chosen to help Tony Stark when he arrested Bucky.
saint?
The West never had it.
Exited the restaurant.
"Where are you going? Shall I see you off?"
"I'll just go to the company."
"Okay, dinner at seven o'clock?"
"good."
After watching Barbara get into the car, Baker lowered his head and smiled, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the Tianguo Investment Building, which was only two blocks away from the restaurant.
It's almost March, just a few months away from the alien invasion.
Baker's paradise investment has a lot of things to do? It's time to start tightening investment. Some assets that are easy to become rubbish when aliens invade need to be disposed of quickly? Otherwise, when aliens come? Who knows Baker's How much will your net worth shrink?
Heavenly Building.
Secretary Camille has also entered working mode for two consecutive days? Several employees who came from the Dongguo Investment Branch on a business trip are orderly sorting out and calmly handling some inferior assets according to Camille's instructions.
After the processing is completed, the assets of Tianguo Investment under Baker's name will be reorganized. The investment in Dongguo will not be touched. Except for the Life Foundation in Chicago, the remaining assets will be disposed of as soon as possible. .
Inside the office.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in."
"boss."
Camille walked in and said to her boss, Baker, who was facing the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the scenery with his back to her: "There is an asset that I think maybe we should keep."
Baker turned his chair: "Keep it?"
Not to mention Heavenly Investment, the elites of the entire world are quietly selling their soft assets to increase their hard assets so that they can quickly continue their dominance after the crisis. If it were not for the fact that all five countries on the Security Council are now They suppressed it very tacitly, fearing that this undercurrent would have turned into a wild wave and swept the whole world again.
At this time, keep it? What's the difference between that and the high-position taker?
but……
Baker thought for a while and then said: "Which asset?"
"this."
Camille said, walked over to the table, pressed her right hand on the table, and with a whoosh, a projection as big as a computer screen appeared on the table.
Baker looked at Camille's right hand and raised his eyebrows.
"New stuff?"
"Um."
Camille retrieved a file from the London Ultra-Era Communications Company and said: "The ultra-intelligent subcutaneous touch screen device newly developed by the London Ultra-Era Communications Company."
Baker stood up, grabbed Camille's right hand, and looked at it repeatedly. He felt like he had seen this thing before somewhere.
Is it from that movie again?
……etc.
Total recall?
Baker searched his memory database and raised his eyebrows. Isn't this kind of projection equipment transplanted under the skin the high-tech in Total Recall? Why did it suddenly come here?
All right.
As expected, it is Marvel’s Earth where black technology is rampant.
Camille said: "Boss, this company was launched half a month ago. Now, the number of users has reached more than one million, and it is still growing uninterrupted. It is a high-quality asset."
Baker came back to his senses and looked at Camille: "What do you mean?"
"Acquisition."
Camille said: "The founder of this company is seeking a second round of financing, but currently no large investment bank is willing to accept it. I plan to go there tomorrow to make contact."
"good."
"..."
