Kai looked at Killian coldly, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "Leave Pepper to me, you can go."
Will Kai let this guy go?
of course not!
Just a stopgap measure.
Killian is not stupid either.
"Of course, of course!" Killian uses himself to save others. If he were Kai, would he let him go easily? Of course it's impossible! So: "But Miss Potts needs to stay with me for a while. Once I am safe, I will naturally let Miss Potts go."
"Haha." Kai was unmoved: "You should know that I am not Tony. Right?"
Killian stopped smiling and asked seriously: "What do you mean?"
This is what Killian fears most. It was naturally impossible for him to deal with Tony without conducting a detailed investigation. He knew that Tony Stark and Pepper Potts loved each other very much, and Pepper was also the person Tony cared about most. It was also based on this that he kidnapped Pepper and planned to use her to threaten Tony Stark.
But the problem is that it's not Tony who's here now, and Pepper's value has dropped by more than half! The reason why he can still threaten Kai now is because Kai is a good friend of Tony! Kai couldn't watch his friend's girlfriend die, so he could continue to threaten Kai. But the effect of this threat is naturally impossible to compare with the effect of threatening Tony.
"You want to watch Tony Stark's woman die in front of you?"
"I don't want to." Kai didn't panic. He really didn't have any good solutions at the moment, but the problem was that neither did Killian on the opposite side! Does he really dare to take action against Pepper? Lend him some courage! This is his last trump card! Once this piece is gone, his fate will only be worse. So Kai didn't panic at all. This grandson cared more about Pepper's life and death than he did. After all, Pepper is equivalent to his life, and Kai is so panicked!
"Then just do as I say!" Killian felt bad, he had lost the initiative! According to his assumptions, he should have the upper hand at this moment, ridicule and humiliate Kai wantonly, and then leave here in a big way. As for letting Pepper go?
ha?
How could such a useful chess piece be let go so easily. He has come up with countless plans to use Pepper to threaten Tony.
But looking at Kai's appearance, things were stuck at the beginning.
"I told you, I'm not Tony!"
Kai still said coldly: "Put down Pepper, you can go. I have so many demands, don't even think of asking for them."
And Killian knows that at this time, he must not give in. Once he gives in, there will be nothing left.
He grabbed Pepper by the neck and lifted her up!
"Let me go! I will naturally let this woman go after I leave! Otherwise..."
Kai didn't say anything and just took out the ax!
If you kill Pepper, I will kill you!
This is a game, either you and Pepper will die together! Either you let Pepper go and bet Kai will keep his promise.
The key point of this game is whether Kilian is really willing to risk it. In other words, he was gambling with his life on Pepper's status in Kai's mind.
At this time, Kai naturally needs to play a game. He needs to be cold, but he can't give Killian the feeling that he doesn't care about Pepper at all. Otherwise, the opponent will be completely defeated, and he will be completely ruined.
Of course Kai couldn't let anything happen to Pepper.
Tony's problems aside, Pepper was his good friend!
But the more this happens, the less Kai can show any weakness!
Are you going to kill Pepper?
OK! If you dare to take action, I will hack you to death in the next second!
Bet your life!
The difference is that Killian is gambling with his own life!
Is he so courageous?
Obviously not!
So he quickly analyzed the current situation and wanted to find a way for himself to escape and ascend to heaven.
Without Pepper's trump card, it meant that he had to bear the risk of Kai chasing him at any time.
But if the fish dies and the net breaks... you can see it from the battle just now... even if the fish dies, the net will not break!
Thinking of this... Killian felt a headache.
Can……
Finally, Killian gritted his teeth and let go of Pepper: "Okay! But you have to keep your promise!"
Kai said nothing, but looked at Killian.
Meaning, give me people!
"I'm not afraid to tell you that if there is no stabilizer, Pepper may explode at any time! If you break your promise, then just wait for her to become a bomb!"
This is Killian's last chance.
Why didn't Killian threaten Kai with this before?
Because this thing...it's not safe!
Although the main credit for the Extremis Project being able to progress to this stage lies with him and Maya, both of them know that without the formula that Tony gave Maya, the Extremis Project would not be able to advance to this point!
In other words, in today's world, Tony is the third scientist who can crack the Extremis virus!
Killian wasn't sure if Tony could cure Pepper of the Extremis virus after he let him go. Of course he didn't want to let Pepper go, otherwise, wouldn't he kidnap her for nothing? But now, I can’t control that much anymore.
It's important to escape!
"Give me the stabilizer, you can get out!" Kai knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it didn't matter. As long as Pepper didn't have any problems the first time, there would be no problems later.
With Maya and Tony on their side, it shouldn't be difficult to solve Pepper's troubles.
Killian gritted his teeth and looked at Kai.
But Kai didn't tolerate him and looked at him with a sneer.
In the end, Killian couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to the person behind him.
Any stabilizer fell into Kai's hands.
Kai saved Pepper, then turned around and rescued her.
Killian breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the yacht, Rhodes was talking to the Department of Defense, and Benjamin was also talking to the White House.
We are all busy people, it is impossible for a real champagne beauty to just fool around like this. Especially for Benjamin, once the news of his kidnapping leaks out, the chain reaction will be too great.
"Derek was attacked?" Benjamin shouted in shock.
Rhodes was startled.
Derek Raphson is not just a bitch, he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Unlike the Vice President, who is the Speaker of the Senate, this is a proper Republican leader. Establishment leaders. It was no small matter that he was attacked.
But Rhodes immediately threw the matter aside.
Speaker of the House of Representatives?
The president was kidnapped just now!
Small problems, small problems.
"What's going on?" Benjamin forced himself to calm down.
He wondered if there was some evil organization targeting the United States! Otherwise, there is no way to explain that in such a short period of time, he was attacked, and then the Speaker of the House of Representatives was also attacked. This is specifically targeting the top brass of the US government!
When Benjamin asked, it turned out that since he was kidnapped. There were immediate suggestions that the Presidential Succession Act be activated and the vice president serve as interim vice president.
The reason is also very simple.
The president has been kidnapped.
Should the US government be allowed to compromise because of the president?
Don't be ridiculous, this is impossible. No major country in the world can compromise with terrorists. Even if the president is kidnapped.
There is no way, the president is just a person, according to the constitution, anyone can be the president. One every four years, nothing unusual.
So in order to avoid unnecessary things.
It is normal procedure for the Vice President to be sworn in as interim President.
Although Benjamin was uncomfortable with it. According to the time, less than half an hour after he was kidnapped, the vice president was about to take the oath. Well, the speaker of the House of Representatives was attacked on his way to administer the oath of the interim president.
But fortunately, the injury was not serious. The special service personnel around him were seriously injured when they arrived.
The speaker is now in hospital for treatment.
"Well, good. How about the vice president? Has he been attacked?" As a creature of power, the president clearly felt that something was wrong.
Normal procedure is normal procedure.
But according to the efficiency of American bureaucrats, they can actually decide in ten minutes to give up the president and let the vice president take office... Isn't it a little too eager? Is it possible that his tried and tested president is so uneasy? Back then, he was a super tough guy president who didn't give in when a group of terrorists pointed a gun at his head!
Why are these people so impatient now?
Is his power base so weak?
It shouldn't be.
He is one of the most powerful presidents in American history.
Of course, this is all bullshit. The real reason is...as a power creature, he feels threatened!
Threat of power being seized!
Nima can't bear this!
So the Vice President... is most likely going to be in trouble.
"Uh... no..." On the other side of the phone was Benjamin's most trusted secret agent, a senior agent of the Secret Service and the president's personal bodyguard. Mike Banning
When the Iron Patriots kidnapped the president, a big hole was blown out of Air Force One and then crashed... But even so, Benny didn't die... It was like a bunker! Generally speaking, the chance of surviving an air crash of this level is infinitely close to zero!
But Benny relied on life-saving equipment to survive the dangerous situation by parachuting from the plane.
And soon returned to Washington.
Just ask if you are fierce. (When London fell, the planes were shot down from the sky, but it turned out to be nothing... and from a city controlled by terrorists, one person killed the terrorists alone, and the two eagles were not as powerful as him! )
Don't worry, this isn't the most intense yet.
Benny found the suspect as soon as he returned to Washington.
The location of Air Force One is extremely secretive and generally difficult to capture.
Benny was familiar with all aspects of presidential security, and he quickly discovered the difference from one detail.
According to security rules, once the president's safety is threatened, all communications must be completed through encrypted channels. This is to prevent anyone from discovering the president's location based on signal positioning. Therefore, after boarding Air Force One, the president's communications need to be communicated through the communication equipment on Air Force One.
This is safer.
But on Air Force One, the president still received a personal phone call.
Not through the communicator on Air Force One, but the president's personal phone.
Very few people know about this phone call. Only people who are very close to the president know about it.
But after boarding Air Force One, even if the president's friends and family want to contact the president, they do so through encrypted communications.
The only exception is the personal phone call.
Guess who made this personal phone call?
vice-president!
"Vice President...it's fine. But..." Benny hesitated and reported his guess to Benjamin after his investigation.
Benjamin said calmly: "Well, you did a good job, Mike. Give the phone to Lin."
Lynn refers to Lynn Jobs, Director of the United States Secret Service. She is also the first black female Secret Service Director in the United States. He was promoted by Benjamin after he came to power, a proper direct lineage within the direct lineage.
"Has Mike told you his speculation?" Benjamin asked very directly.
"Mike?" Lynn Jobs was particularly surprised.
Apparently she didn't know.
"Then let Benny tell you. Go and check it yourself! And monitor the Vice President immediately!"
Benjamin gave an extremely decisive order!
In fact, even without this incident, the life of the Vice President, who was too lazy to name the author, would not have been easy! Damn it, I was planning to seize power even before I died!
Now there is a reason...hehe. Even if nothing happens, I can fix it for you.
"clear!"
It is extremely difficult for a black woman to make a career in politics. Lynn Jobs was able to rise to the top because of Benjamin's racial equality policy. It can be said that her political future is highly bound to Benjamin. If Benjamin was finished, she was probably finished too. So she didn't hesitate when faced with Benjamin's order.
This is also the reason why Lin is able to rise to the top, speaking only from the top!
The things explained above will never be discounted.
Otherwise, why would Benjamin support her?
The hot girl and old man next to me were dumbfounded.
Benjamin didn’t hide his voice either.
Vice President...is he being monitored?
Isn't that a bit childish?
How can people like them understand the dangers of political struggle.
At this moment, a bolt of thunder landed.
Kai appeared with Pepper in his arms.
"What happened to Pepper?!" Rhodes immediately stepped forward to show concern.
Rhodes didn't know about Pepper.
"She was kidnapped..." Kai told the story simply.
"She is now..." Benjamin instinctively took a few steps back. He had seen with his own eyes the power of the explosions of those desperate warriors. If it was true as Killian said... then their situation now could not be said to be safe.
"Look at your potential!" Kai complained angrily.
Benjamin didn't feel ashamed either: "Please, I just escaped from a big explosion. Isn't it normal to be afraid?"
To be honest, although Benjamin is a political creature, his psychological quality is really good. As an ordinary person without any superpowers, he has experienced so many things, but he has no psychological problems at all... He can still joke about it now, too. It's an anomaly.
He has so much experience that he definitely feels like the ruler of the world.
He narrowly escaped death many times.
It's not a joke, it's the kind of thing where you're really close to death, and if you make the slightest mistake, you could really be shattered to pieces!
"It's okay, at least for the time being. If we really want to solve the problem, we need Tony to do it."
Rhodes was more concerned about another issue.
"Where is my Iron Patriot? And Killian, are you really going to let him go like this?"
