The people from S.H.I.E.L.D. rushed over and wanted to shoot, but as soon as they raised their guns, they were surrounded by a group of police officers with their guns raised. A group of men in black can only keep their hands down. There is no other way. The police are much more arrogant than criminals. Although the police are cowardly in front of the public opinion media, they really have no scruples when dealing with other people. The police in the United States have great power because they have the discretion to enforce the law. Discretion means that police have the autonomy to decide to what extent they will enforce specific laws, and they have the autonomy to choose which laws to enforce or not to enforce.
In the United States, when facing police enforcement, you must obey the police's instructions, otherwise you will easily be accused of obstructing law enforcement or flouting the law, and suffer serious consequences. There are approximately 400 police shootings that result in the death of people in the United States every year. The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling is clear - if a criminal resists arrest, police can reasonably use lethal force to eliminate that resistance. As for what is the reasonable use of lethal weapons, police officers on the scene need to make judgments based on the actual situation. If the suspect uses a deadly weapon to commit a crime, the police can shoot; if the police believe that not shooting will cause more harm to the public, the police can also shoot.
The most obvious example is the meaning of the word "don't move". "Don't move" in American law means not to make any movements, including hands, words, and various parts of the body. Even moving a finger will be considered to take action. , resist arrest, the police can take necessary actions, including shooting the suspect directly.
So even SHIELD agents had better listen to the police at this time, otherwise the beating to death will be in vain.
Phil looked helplessly at Kai, who had a joking look on his face.
The reason why Kai came to Los Angeles in the first place was because Phil took it upon himself to use his identity as an FBI to force Kai to be transferred to S.H.I.E.L.D. As a result, Kai was angered and directly used Tony's relationship to run to Los Angeles.
As a result, Kaidu has seen him now, but he still makes trouble for him.
"Kay... I know that what happened last time made you very uncomfortable, but you can't... do you know what that Batman took away?"
"I don't know." Kai said indifferently. SHIELD is awesome, but can you control a little policeman like it?
The answer, of course, is I don’t care.
There are always two sides to things. Including Kai's identity. Logically speaking, Kai is just a small policeman and cannot be compared with Phil in terms of identity. But on the other hand, his status is low enough that SHIELD can't control him.
SHIELD can influence the mayor and even the governor, but so what, SHIELD makes the mayor and governor come to trouble him!
The most serious thing is to let Kai take a punishment. After all, Kai is a star agent in Los Angeles, an absolute ace. Because of such a misunderstanding, the police station fired him? The police station is not run by SHIELD. And there was no problem with Kai's handling.
He is not under the jurisdiction of SHIELD, and people from SHIELD have no right to give orders to him.
There was nothing wrong with his response.
"That's..." Phil just remembered that the Ark Reactor is a secret. He could only put it another way: "This is a very important technological product for Tony Stark!"
Kai turned to look at Tony who was walking towards him: "I heard that your things were robbed, right?"
"Yes." Tony looked at Phil strangely. He was wondering, why do these people know about their Ark Reactor? This thing should be kept secret. Obaday told it himself, and Pepper also told it, but besides them, who else knows?
"Being Obadiah... well, that's what it is." Tony said truthfully.
He doesn't have much favorable impressions of S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway. After all, the death of his parents had something to do with this organization.
Kai gave Phil a 'look' expression: "That means the guy just now didn't rob you, right?"
It is naturally impossible for Tony to admit that Batman robbed him, after all, he was his lifesaver, although he did not want to admit the fact that he was saved. "It's no use, that's a concerned citizen."
Kai once again made a 'look' expression to Phil: "Look, what I just did was not wrong. I stopped you unknown persons from attacking an enthusiastic citizen. I saved you from complaints and prosecution. Thank you. Me, Phil!”
Phil finally saw that neither of these two people had a good impression of him.
"That's a dangerous man!"
"That's right. Dan! Dan!" Kai turned and called Dan over.
"Boss?"
"Have we received any reports about the guy flying in the sky just now?"
"No."
Kai looked at Phil again.
Phil turned around and left. What could he do if others made it clear that they would not abandon him?
"Hey Phil!" Kai yelled.
Phil turned his head.
"For your sake this time, I won't arrest you. Don't bring people around next time, it will cause misunderstandings!"
Ordinary police officers don't know SHIELD anyway, so there's no pressure to catch them. At most, the arrest is wrong, so what else can I do?
On the other side, Tony refused to show weakness. He immediately notified Pepper alone, explained the situation here, and asked her to find someone to tie up the matter immediately. The reactor was taken away by Batman, so forget it. But the Iron Overlord in Obaday must be recovered.
Obadai's armor is considered the most mature steel armor prototype. Plus the second-generation reactor, how could anyone let others take it away? Secondly, all the computer data in the District 16 laboratory must be removed or destroyed. Not even Mao can be left to SHIELD!
In front of Phil, Tony glanced sideways at Phil's high hairline, and a sense of superiority emerged in his heart: "Agent Coulson, right? You just said you wanted to take away our company's property? "
Phil could no longer maintain his signature smile on his face: "Mr. Stark, you just had a fight with Obadiah on a traffic artery and almost killed dozens of innocent people. Are you sure you are responsible for this?"
Tony raised his eyebrows: "Haha, the Stark Group will handle everything properly. I won't bother you. You should just take care of yourselves!"
At this moment, the eldest young man showed his old aura again, with the left cheek showing money and the right cheek showing a willful and arrogant attitude. Anyway, after he arrived, there were no casualties, and he was not responsible. Moreover, the previous battle with Obadiah resulted in casualties, but their S.H.I.E.L.D.! He doesn't take the blame!
Phil didn't take it seriously: "That would be great. However, Mr. Stark, when you were entangled with Mr. Obadiah, there were many witnesses around, and some of them filmed your fight. In a few days At the press conference, you may need a suitable speech."
Tony: "Don't worry, I have secretaries. Well... lots of secretaries!"
See, rich people are so annoying.
Phil said helplessly: "Actually, we don't have to do this."
But Kai and Tony ignored him. There's no point in arguing with him.
The reason why Tony was talking nonsense with him was to delay this guy for a while. Now that his goal was achieved, Pepper had already called someone over, and Tony didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
Then the two of them left together, not abandoning S.H.I.E.L.D. at all.
According to the procedure, Tony needs to go to the police station to record a statement.
If it were any other police officer, Tony would be just as cool, but the problem was that it was Kai who came, so he had to give some face.
Phil watched the two of them walk away together with a bitter look on his face. Finally, he took out his cell phone, said a few words to hang up, and sighed: "This matter is not easy to handle."
He looked around and saw people watching from a distance everywhere. Damn it, these melon-eating people are more powerful than their agents, and they are not afraid of being affected and beaten to death! He felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do about the onlookers who increased his workload. It is a natural right, everyone has the right to watch the excitement.
On the other side, Tony had to give face, and Kai had to give face too, right? He told Tony that he could just go and make up a confession anytime, everyone was very busy. Forget it tonight.
Of course Tony is fine, he still has important things to do.
All the information about steel armor in Obadei's hands!
Tony asked Jarvis to delete all these research materials, then removed the hard drive and handed it to Happy, who had just arrived from the company, to destroy it. Anyone who checks it later will find nothing. Tony doesn't trust SHIELD!
The reason is simple. He found out the relationship between his father and S.H.I.E.L.D. When Tony asked Kai to find out the truth about his parents' death, he found out a little bit.
His dad used to be a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. And his father's death was also related to S.H.I.E.L.D. Although this is a secret, it is not to the level that no one knows.
But there is obviously such a relationship, his father was obviously murdered, but SHIELD has ignored it for so many years!
This is abnormal!
It even gave Tony a bad association.
So he doesn't trust SHIELD!
…
Taking advantage of the fact that he was on the Stark Group's territory, Pepper mobilized people to rush there first, wearing professional three-defense uniforms, and took away the Iron Overlord. After the reactor was forcibly taken away, the thing turned out to be an iron coffin. Obadiah, the bald man, was trapped inside and unable to move, and was also taken away with him. What can be believed is that this second shareholder of the company will soon retire due to various possible uses, until he completely disappears from people's sight, and no one will mention him again.
On the other hand, with Obaday playing out, Tony taking over his stake is a sure thing. Obadiah owns more than 10% of Stark Group's shares, plus Tony's own 49.5% share, and now he alone has complete control of the company.
If he takes advantage of the current plummeting stock price to make another acquisition, Tony can completely and firmly control the Stark Group, and even initiate privatization and delisting.
Of course, Wayne Group is not idle at this point in time, and is also secretly absorbing shares in the market.
In fact the next day, after the news broke about the battle that had taken place before Stark Tower.
Immediately, a large number of experts and professors began to angrily criticize Stark Group, and became increasingly negative about Stark Group, causing Stark Group's stock to fall at an unimaginable speed. This allowed Wayne Group to acquire a large chunk of stock for much less than expected.
Even the board of directors has directors who have approached Wayne Group, hoping to cash out quickly and escape from the crash.
So in a short period of time, Wayne Group officially replaced Obadie and became the second largest shareholder of Stark Group, owning 8% of the shares, and got a large piece of the pie from Stark's weapons production part.
These include three weapons research institutes and five laboratories.
As for the production department, Wayne Group has not taken action because it is too sensitive. And Tony didn't sell the patent, so the factory and production line were of little significance. Wayne Group does not plan to get too involved in the US arms market.
That would be unwise.
There will always be only a few players in the U.S. arms market. If an outsider wants to get involved, it is a blind idea.
But this gluttonous feast ended at three o'clock that afternoon.
Tony Stark can't really let his wealth simply evaporate like that. After all, it involves a lot of things. If the stock price drops too low, it will not be good for him. So that afternoon, Tony Stark began to support the market.
Start to support the bottom at a price higher than the market price.
This led to a sharp increase in trading volume on Stark Group shares in the last hour before the market closed.
For this reason, Pepper took the initiative to find Kai, hoping that he could bring the Wayne Group to market.
There is no way, Tony's cash flow may not be able to cope with such a large number of transactions.
Kai didn't pay much attention to this and just let Ah Fu do what he did.
So before the market closed, Stark Group's stock rebounded miraculously.
Just when people were speculating that Tony Stark was crazy.
The Stark Group announced that Tony Stark will hold a formal press conference tomorrow to answer questions of concern to all walks of life.
…
Kai wasn't too busy here. After all, the things at hand couldn't be solved in a short while. Especially Norman, who didn't know where he was hiding, and was nowhere to be seen. In addition, because of the fight between Stark and his uncle, the entire police station was so busy that he couldn't spare any manpower to hunt down Norman.
Kai felt that at this time, it seemed that another vest needed to be activated.
After all, normal means can no longer find out Norman's whereabouts.
While Kai was relaxing here, wondering if he could go somewhere to have fun with Kelly and the others, he suddenly discovered that the atmosphere in the police station was strange.
Everyone seemed distracted, as if a disaster was about to happen.
Including Dan, who has always been very dedicated.
"Chap, what happened to them?"
Chap happened to run into his office to smoke cigars again, so he asked more questions.
Chap took out a cigar from Kai's cigar cabinet without anyone noticing, put it to his nose and took a deep puff.
"Why else? For the shares of Stark Group."
"What?" Kai was shocked. "They all bought shares of Stark Group?"
"That's not true." Chap shook his head and lit the cigar.
"That is not bad."
"Half," Chap continued.
In his previous life and in this life, Kai was not very familiar with stocks. He didn't even know where the door to the stock trading market opened. So I’m not sure that personal finance is still very popular here in the United States. Many people buy stocks or funds for financial management. So even though many Americans’ bank accounts are cleaner than their pockets, if they really calculate their assets, they will find that they still have some wealth.
Especially funds, many Americans will buy them. After all, it is relatively safe. Those funds that have relatively low investment returns but are better at being stable will hold stocks of large companies with stable market values. The stock price of Stark Group plummeted, and it was not just shareholders who suffered losses, but those funds were also affected.
"Where's Dan? Did he buy it too? I remember that he was a poor man."
Dan is indeed a poor man. Although he has his own house and car, he has nothing but this. When they got divorced, he voluntarily gave up a lot of property. She also has to pay for her daughter’s child support.
His kind is rare in America. What a wonderful man, even if he gets divorced, he is willing to suffer.
"Dan didn't buy it, but Chloe was stuck. She bought all the shares of Stark Group. The key is that she wasn't ready to cut off her stock yet, but kept covering her position. At this moment, she is probably going to go bankrupt... "
"Pfft!!!" Kai was frightened.
He has inside information, so he naturally knows that holding shares in Stark Group will definitely make a fortune, but others don't know!
Chloe is... a stock god?
"Are you scared too? Chloe doesn't know what she thinks. She actually believes that playboy Tony can make a comeback." Chap said with a frown. Chap didn't panic at all, and was even interested in making a few jokes.
There's no way around it, he's also poor and has a clean face, so he doesn't have this kind of worry. He has no money to buy fund shares.
"I think you should persuade Chloe, that girl is determined..."
Before Chap finished speaking, he saw the Stark Group's press conference playing on the TV in the office.
Looking at the middle-aged man standing on the podium on the TV, Chap slapped his lips together: "With this posture, you can tell he is a rich man."
Kai looked at the man, who was acting as a press officer.
"Can this be seen?"
"Poor people are not qualified to hold press conferences." Chap's view is always so simple.
Kai shrugged, too lazy to be serious. Besides, the salary of a press officer is indeed not low: "It's up to you."
Chap snorted twice, not sure if he wanted to express contempt or something else. After a while, he said: "This female reporter must have a grudge against him and has been targeting him. She must have been slept with and thrown away."
"Brilliant!" Combined with Tony's personality, Kai felt that Chap had discovered the truth.
