Chapter 940: Chapter 787: The Righteous Ao Youth_2
“Good, pleasure doing business.”
Tony extended his hand and shook Nick Fury’s, the brilliant smile on his face making the latter wonder if he had missed something somewhere.
But still he spoke up
“However, the outside world is currently buzzing about Dr. Stephen’s situation, claiming he died as a test subject for you, and now that he’s still alive, it should be possible for him to come forward and shatter the lies.”
Afterwards, knowing that these people were not particularly welcoming, he took his leave and departed.
Once Nick Fury had left, Tao Yu also turned his attention to Stephen, whose spirit was quite low. Now, staring at his frail, powerless hands, he seemed to be in a daze, seemingly unable to accept the situation.
“So, Dr. Stephen, do you want to expose them? However, if you do, I think you’ll be in danger because, compared to solving problems, they are more adept at dealing with those who create the problems…”
Whistleblowers from some of the big groups usually die in unclear circumstances, and it’s almost an open secret now, intended to intimidate others into not recklessly acting out.
This kind of deterrence is actually quite effective.
The people who do these things all have access to core secrets, and they are capable people with their own concerns, unwilling to recklessly end up in a lose-lose situation.
Otherwise, if they cross certain lines and say things they shouldn’t, even the big shots could end up being ‘cancelled’ immediately.
“So, once you decide to come forward, from that moment on you may have to live under the protection of Stark Group. You came here because of Tony, and got involved yourself. We’ve got your back for the rest of your life.”
Tao Yu looked at Stephen’s withered hand, a faint sense of enlightenment dawning in his heart.
He was beginning to understand why the Ancient One had never made an appearance!
If it wasn’t that her own condition was wrong, encountering some trouble.
Then it was her letting Stephen face these setbacks.
The proud, confident, and full of confidence Dr. Stephen, and Dr. Stephen who had his hands crippled in a car accident and couldn’t pick up a surgical scalpel anymore, were two completely different people in terms of mentality.
This transformation was even greater than Tony Stark becoming Iron Man…
“Please watch the VCR.”
During the press conference, Tony waved his hand, and instantly, footage of Stephen from before he entered Stark Group, street surveillance, and him taking the elevator after entering Stark Group was shown.
Then, it showcased Stephen’s transformation!
The grotesque appearance of the G-Virus and the strength to fling the Iron Armor aside indeed caused a stir of exclamations.
But the footage stopped there, without the subsequent images of Tao Yu’s Sealing Techniques.
As Tony then stood on the podium, calmly addressed the press with their barrage of cameras and said,
“I’m sure you all remember the assault I experienced during the car race, encountering something similar.
“Previously, I was investigating Anbrella’s biochemical labs, so I had some clues of my own, which allowed me to find this so accurately. But the madness of Anbrella went so far as to blow up the entire lab, risking the virus spreading, which I did not expect.”
Having said this, he let out a mocking laugh,
“Of course, I am not a judgement authority, so my words represent only my personal viewpoint. For now, I do not have more evidence. If Anbrella Company feels I am slandering them, they can choose to sue me. I will have my legal team handle it.”
Afterwards, Stephen appeared in a wheelchair, giving a first-person account.
His emaciated appearance was quite frightening to see.
But standing to the side with Tao Yu, Potts, also known as Pepper, sighed looking at the reporters below,
“Even though this is Tony’s counterattack, and indeed all the major media are here, it’s still up to them how they write about it. The vast majority of people will only read the headlines and won’t delve deeper.”
If it were anything else, these reporters would certainly give Stark Group the benefit of the doubt, since Stark also has his own ways of influencing with money.
But when it comes to Anbrella, that’s indeed hard to beat.
“This isn’t our counter-measure either, it’s just a reminder, directly exposing those two viruses to everyone.”
Other than worrying about these viruses causing problems with Superheroes, Tao Yu was not concerned with much else.
Overall, Anbrella is at its most powerful right now.
However, the G-Virus that Stephen was infected with was clearly an enhanced version. Now the fear is that Anbrella has exacerbated the transmission of this enhanced version, causing a large-scale biochemical crisis…
“You’re right, ultimately it’s your platform we rely on, the company infrastructure has been completed, and the first batch of smartphones has already begun production.”
“That’s quite speedy.”
Compared to the speed of phone manufacturing, the system and APP seem much simpler.
With Jarvis at the helm, its programming capabilities are truly unmatched by programmers.
Other aspects just need some minor adjustments from Tao Yu and Tony.
Even Tao Yu himself has already created his own artificial intelligence system, with cooperation from Jarvis.
Otherwise, without that help, he couldn’t possibly have completed it so quickly by just banging away on the keyboard until smoke appeared.
Compared to Jarvis’s comprehensiveness, Tao Yu’s requirements for his own artificial intelligence system are much simpler.
It’s mainly to gather and integrate information from the internet to provide real-time updates on topics of interest.
