I am Peter Parker- CH-140. Don't forget to Drink
Added 2024-10-04 03:03:43 +0000 UTCEveryone present was shocked to learn that the mysterious CEO of Umbrella was actually the second guest of the day. Curiously, everyone looked around, eager to see what the mysterious CEO looked like. Some even planned to wait until the hearing was over to make friends, even if it was just to get to know them. However, after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see Umbrella's CEO. Confused, they all turned their attention back to the congressman on the stage. Wasn't he the person they were supposed to meet?
Seeing the situation, the congressman was also bewildered and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The military had contacted him earlier, confirming that the Umbrella CEO would attend the hearing, but now that he couldn't see him, there was nothing he could do. He didn't have the contact information for Umbrella's CEO, and their communication had been one-sided.
Meanwhile, Peter, who was far away in New York, was lying on the sofa in his laboratory, watching the exclusive live broadcast through the line of sight of a honeycomb drone. Upon hearing the congressman's announcement, Peter sat up, realizing it was his turn to perform.
He looked at Yue, who was playing video games beside him, and asked, "Yue, how are your preparations? Can we start?"
Yue put down the video game controller and replied, "Peter, everything is ready. We can start anytime."
Peter straightened his clothes and declared, "Let's get started! After all, we've already collected the money, and it would be bad to keep them waiting too long."
"Okay, Peter."
As soon as Yue finished speaking, a fist-sized spherical drone suddenly flew into the conference hall far away in Washington. Everyone stared at the strange-looking drone, wondering what this spherical object was. However, Peter didn't care about what these people thought; he instructed Yue to control the drone and turn on the projection.
Once the projection was activated, the image of Peter's previous video communication with the military appeared before everyone in the conference room. The congressman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Peter finally appear. If Peter hadn't shown up, he really wouldn't have known how to proceed. To prevent any misunderstandings regarding Peter's image, he quickly began to explain.
"Everyone, this is Mr. P, the current CEO of Umbrella. Due to some special circumstances, Mr. P can only meet with us in this way. Please forgive me."
After finishing his speech, the congressman looked at Peter with a flattering expression. It was important to note that Peter was different from Hammer, that useless guy who could only copy other people's weapons. Peter held a significant position in the military and was a top figure in various other fields. He was destined to become something like the Stark Group!
"You may not know this, but Mr. P recently secured a contract with the military. This contract involves a high-tech drone that can help our soldiers reduce casualties on the battlefield! Compared to Mr. Stark, Mr. P and companies like Umbrella are real entrepreneurs and are completely different from some capitalists who made their fortunes from wars!"
While the congressman was busy criticizing one and praising the other, the staff reconnected the cables that Hammer had unplugged and played the actual video of the military using drones. The drones took off from the trunk of a pickup truck in an orderly fashion and quickly arrived at the target location under the operators' control. They unleashed heavy firepower from their Gatling guns, directly obliterating the terrorist stronghold.
Although this video had been sped up and edited, it lasted less than two minutes. After watching the footage, Tony, who had originally looked contemptuous, turned serious. He had thought that Mr. P was just invited by the military to fill in the numbers. After all, while Umbrella Corporation was a top company in several other industries, it had nothing to do with arms. But now, it seemed that he had underestimated this company, which had been established less than a few years ago, and its president!
Once the video concluded, the congressman smiled at Tony, thinking to himself that Tony had been so arrogant before, believing no one could compare to his iron armor. Now, he must be shocked after seeing this high-tech drone from Umbrella! The legislators began to implement the second plan as originally intended.
According to previous estimates by professionals, there was a 99% chance that Tony would not hand over the Iron Armor technology, so an alternative plan was prepared. That plan involved using Peter as an intermediary, with the military paying to buy Tony's Iron Man suit.
"Mr. Stark, since you are unwilling to hand over the Iron Man suit technology, how about we both take a step back? The military is willing to buy your steel armor for a fee, and you can set the price..."
BAM!
Just as the congressman finished speaking, Tony stood up, his face flushed with anger, and slammed his palm on the table with a loud bang. The conference hall instantly fell silent at the sound, and all eyes turned to Tony. Many in attendance looked at him with amusement, understanding that Tony was finally irritated by these insufferable politicians and was about to flip the table in defiance.
Tony didn't care at all about the looks from those around him. He stood up and addressed the congressmen on the stage, as well as the politicians and military personnel watching him from behind. He made a direct statement:
"I am Iron Man! The Iron Man Armor and I are one! If you take away Iron Man, you take away me. So, no matter what method you use, I will never hand over the Iron Man Armor! Don't waste your time!"
"I won't waste my time with you clowns anymore. Use whatever tricks you have! Neither I nor the Stark Group will be afraid!" After saying that, Tony put on his sunglasses, turned around, and left, leaving everyone with a striking view of his handsome back. Witnessing such a bold display, everyone except those from the military and government stood up and gave Tony a warm applause. It had been years since someone had the courage to stand up to the government like Tony did.
After being ridiculed by Tony, the congressman no longer cared about his manners or the national live broadcast. In the calmest tone he could muster, he addressed Tony's family: "Fake! Mr. Stark, screw you!" After hurling his warm greetings, he realized that the hearing was over and that there was no point in continuing. He stood up, looked at everyone, and announced, "Adjourn! Today's meeting is over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the congressman stood up and left the meeting place, eager to vent the anger that had been building inside him. Witnessing this turn of events, Peter felt like the real winner. He had received an order for 10,000 drones simply by showing up and had also enjoyed such an exhilarating scene.
After the hearing, Peter did not turn off the projection; instead, he let Yue control the drone and follow Tony out of the venue. Once outside, Tony noticed that the so-called Mr. P had been trailing him.
Before Tony could speak, Peter had Yue maneuver the drone to hover near Tony's ear, whispering in a voice only he could clearly hear, "Tony, remember what I told you before? Palladium poisoning doesn't feel good! Don't forget to drink more chlorophyll!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the projection turned off, and the drone vanished from sight, leaving Tony standing there with a look of shock on his face.
