American manga: start to investigate Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tax issues

Chapter 29 The 100-meter leap of faith only needs a piece of grass

"Mr. Stark! What caused you to make such an irrational decision?"

"Mr. Stark! Don't you understand what the weapons department means to Stark Industries?"

"Mr. Stark..."

Stark Industries, press conference conference room.

It is obviously late at night, but the place is bustling with people.

Reporters from almost all media outlets in New York are here.

Originally, being called up to work late at night would be full of resentment, but now, the faces of the reporters here are full of enthusiasm, and they all raise their hands, trying to attract more attention to themselves.

It's not because they are serious about their work, but because they came to a press conference held by Stark Industries.

The official press conference requested by Tony Stark, who had disappeared before and whose life and death were unknown!

Therefore, it is logical that most of these reporters are beauties with good looks and figures, and their clothes...all of them want to highlight the best side of their figures.

After all, everyone knows Tony Stark's "romantic" attributes. If he can be taken a liking to and spend the night together...

Let’s not talk about whether we can get first-hand valuable news, even if we just get a small gift or something else, it’s still a waste of money!

But now, they no longer pay attention to this, because Tony Stark, who came back alive at the press conference, announced a news——

He wants to shut down Stark Industries' weapons department and stop all weapons-related research and development, production, and trading operations, effective immediately and with no time limit until he redefines the future development direction of Stark Industries!

As reporters, even if most of them have the idea of ​​using their bodies to climb up and gain benefits, their professional acuity is not so poor that they cannot fully understand the storm that will be caused by the news announced by Tony.

Stark Industries!

America's No. 1 military industrial enterprise!

Although there are other departments, the weapons department is definitely the top priority and can be called the cornerstone of Stark Industries.

And now, the president of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, has announced that he will shut it down!

There is no doubt that he can definitely do this.

But why?

This is as outrageous as Facebook suddenly terminating all social software servers, Microsoft canceling all system updates, maintenance and research and development, Hollywood announcing the suspension of all TV series and movie shooting, and Blizzard announcing the suspension of all game operations!

In short, Stark Industries is shutting down its weapons department, which is unprecedented news!

"Haha, Tony is probably a little confused because of all the hard work..."

Obadiah on the side smiled kindly and came to the microphone to explain. Unfortunately, no one wanted to listen to his words at this time.

In the eyes of others, this old man must have wanted to scold his mother. This smiling face was just a disguise to make them not believe what Tony just said.

Thinking about it, you know that this is definitely impossible to succeed.

Now, even if Tony himself denies it, these reporters will spend a lot of time focusing on what he said before.

However, the smile on Obadiah's face is actually genuine.

OK.

It's good to close the weapons department.

As soon as this news spreads, the stock price, which was originally going to rise, will definitely plummet again.

Those shareholders who have strengthened their faith because of Tony's return and are unwilling to sell their shares will definitely be disappointed and take the opportunity to sell their shares.

And Obadiah's temporarily stalled plan can now be implemented again!

Perfect!

Therefore, Obadiah is naturally happy.

He even needs to concentrate on controlling his expression so as not to appear too happy, lest others notice something is wrong.

Fortunately, his acting skills are very superb and he successfully conveyed that forced smile.

However, when he heard the next words Tony said, he really couldn't laugh anymore.

"Quiet!" Tony raised his hand and pressed it down, so everyone fell silent.

"In addition to the decision to close the Stark Industries Weapons Department, I also need to announce an important news, that is -

Stark Industries is about to face an investigation by an IRS action specialist due to tax issues. According to relevant news, the IRS should have detected illegal income and tax evasion caused by unregistered weapons transactions. Regarding this,

I will fully cooperate..."

The smile on Obadiah's face that he had to suppress just now completely froze.

Huge panic arose in his heart.

Just like the sound in the press conference room, it suddenly erupted.

"Mr. Lin... this... should be normal, right?" Peter looked at his hand hesitantly and asked.

"Do you think it's normal for a person who couldn't lift a 50-kilogram barbell yesterday to be able to lift a 100-kilogram barbell with one hand now?"

Lin Yu asked back.

"Even a professional weightlifter who spends time in the gym every day cannot pick up this kind of weight and play with it casually with one hand!"

"Then what should I do now?" Peter panicked.

At this moment, his right hand was holding a barbell, and two 25kg barbell plates hung on both sides. The rather huge barbell formed a clear contrast with his tall and thin body.

But Peter really didn't feel any weight...or rather, there was weight, but for him, it was not much different from holding an ordinary wooden stick one day ago.

Peter felt very strange.

It feels weird because there is a feeling of difference, and this difference comes from a "habit" developed over the past ten years.

It can be roughly described like this——

[Eye + Brain: This thing is very heavy at first glance and cannot be picked up at all.

Hand: What are you talking about?

Eyes + Brain: "?!"]

"What else can you do? Do you plan to go to the hospital for a checkup, and then become a new human being in the 21st century and appear in various newspapers, and then be targeted by various forces and laboratories, and then be captured and sectioned?" Lin

Yu asked him.

"No!" Peter was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly, "That's too scary!"

"So, you need to learn to control your strength, Peter." Lin Yu reached out, grabbed the barbell in Peter's hand, lifted it up, and put it back on the stand, "otherwise you are likely to get hurt when you are not familiar with your own strength.

to other people, or cause some irreparable losses."

"I see...Mr. Lin! You too?" Peter was surprised.

"No, I'm different from you. I'm just a little stronger, not as strong as you." Lin Yu shook his head decisively in denial.

He can do this because he has activated his Assassin bloodline, which is incomparable to Spider-Man who can pull trains and ships.

It would be great if his Assassin blood really allowed him to make a 100-meter leap of faith with just a piece of grass... In that case, I'm afraid his physical fitness is really about the same as that of Little Spider, right?

Lin Yu didn't want to try it anyway. He didn't want to be like the first generation spider - "Oh, my back!"

Peter: "..."

For some reason, he always felt that Lin Yu was deceiving him.

Is that a very strange intuition?

However, Lin Yu was doing it for his own good, and Peter was quite clear about this.
