Chapter 922: Chapter 783: Three Sentences Make Tony Spend 10 Billion
“What are you doing? This is an important witness! And it’s related to the attack on me last time! Why would you shoot them?!”
Tony, clad in the Iron Armor, confronted a group of NYPD detectives approaching him, his expression filled with anger.
By now, whether it was the zombie embedded in the car or the attackers who had initially survived, they had all fallen to the guns of these detectives.
Four police cars, a dozen detectives, they now seemed somewhat nervous facing Iron Man.
And the supervisor among them took the initiative to step forward and spread his hands in explanation,
“Mr. Stark, everything we did was reasonable and according to regulations, they posed a threat to us, our use of force was in accordance with the rules.”
Tony’s face beneath the Iron Man mask grew solemn.
If shooting the zombie because it was a threat could be justified, the fact that the gunman who had already surrendered was gunned down signaled that something was definitely wrong.
At this moment, Jarvis’s voice rang in Tony’s ear,
“Sir, when I notified them earlier, I mentioned that the other party had used a gun to attack. The rule is lax for dealing with armed criminals; they can fire in compliance with the rules as soon as they can’t see both hands.”
“But this is clearly not normal.”
“However, we are powerless…”
Tony glanced at the zombie bloodstain on his Iron Armor and nodded. He then said to Tao Yu and the others,
“My lawyers will have you released on bail soon, don’t get into conflicts with them.”
Now that his face had been revealed, Tao Yu didn’t want to change his identity again. It was good to go through this process, and although he was an illegal immigrant, with Tony’s lawyers arranging things, it wasn’t a big problem.
And when necessary, he could also seek help from Colson.
Colson would definitely not bother with minor things, but when it’s related to the attack on Tony, it’s a completely different matter.
Just then, Tao Yu reached into his backpack and pulled out a metal rod. This was a gift left by the Atlanteans, made of Vibranium, just like the retracted staff he had stored. With a flick, it could be fixed into a Vibranium Spear.
“This item is quite valuable; I hope Mr. Stark can help me keep it safe for the time being,” Tao Yu said.
Tony casually took the metal rod, but as soon as he grabbed it, Jarvis had already detected something amiss through the sensors on the armor,
“Sir, the materials used in this item are very peculiar, it is indeed a valuable object.”
This made Tony pause for a moment, but since there were many people nearby, he didn’t say anything and just nodded at Tao Yu again,
“You have an eye for quality…”
Entrusted with such a valuable item to take care of on first meeting, Tony felt a bit proud inside, thinking that this was just the kind of person he was…
Tao Yu thought that Anbrella might take this opportunity to do something or arrange someone to get in touch with him, but soon he realized he was overthinking it.
The lawyer arranged by Tony came quickly, and with a professional team’s handling, they were bailed out almost as soon as they arrived at the local station with the NYPD.
And there was even a dedicated car to send them to Stark Tower.
“Mr. Stark is waiting for you in his lab, you can go up directly through the private elevator,” said the lawyer who had bailed out Tao Yu and the others, smiling with a meticulous business-like expression.
“Okay, thank you Mr. John for today.”
As Tao Yu reached the doorway, a stunning woman in office attire had already approached them,
“Welcome to Stark Tower, guests. I am Mr. Stark’s assistant, please follow me.”
Tao Yu saw the woman’s burgundy hair and discerned she was not Pepper Potts, and besides, Pepper didn’t have such a figure. It must be Natasha, who was mingling around Tony to observe his condition.
It had to be said that Natasha’s disguise ability was extremely impressive. In terms of physical fitness alone, she might be on par with Minato Namikaze.
However, having been used to such physical intensity, she had excellent control over her body, and as she twisted her body and walked with a catwalk stride in front of them, she looked just like a typical alluring female secretary.
One could even see the waves rippling behind her.
From the smooth and evenly-toned skin on her thighs and arms, one couldn’t discern any outline of muscles.
Tao Yu did notice, however, that when she first looked over the three of them upon meeting, her gaze lingered on Minato Namikaze for quite some time.
Airi Suzuki was fine, because she was living in the EVA world, she wasn’t likely to show any flaws in her actions.
Minato Namikaze overall was quite good too, at least Colson didn’t notice anything.
But in the end, he was not as natural, and Natasha probably had noticed something.
However, her current task was to infiltrate Stark Group, so she would prioritize her primary mission. But afterwards, she would likely report to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Given the lower-level threats S.H.I.E.L.D. was continually dealing with, Natasha and Eagle Eye were considered top-tier operatives.
At the beginning, even Thor, in a mortal state and stripped of his Divine Power, left Colson in awe.
Anbrella currently held a crushing advantage over S.H.I.E.L.D.
If Hydra began to infiltrate Anbrella, then S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson’s days might not be so easy.
As the private elevator ascended, the transparent walls of the elevator provided a view of the increasingly distant scene outside.
The bold and confident streets of New York also came into Tao Yu’s view.
