Chapter 90
Nick Fury: Stark is also a diary owner!
Chapter 90 Nick Fury: Stark is also a diary owner!
"idiot!"
Inside the office.
Looking at the television screen, Stern, who was furious and, just as his diary had described, had been forced to swear by Tony Stark.
Nick Fury couldn't help but scoff and curse.
Keep in mind, this is a member of parliament, a politician in a high position!
Being able to talk a good game and maintain a facade of a smile while secretly cursing should be considered a basic skill.
The results of it?
This senator was completely outmaneuvered by Tony Stark from beginning to end, making a complete fool of himself and acting like a clown.
His fight with Tony Stark was like a newbie monster in a beginner village encountering a max-level player—they were simply not on the same level.
Despite citing Justin Hammer, Colonel Rhodes, and various other compelling pieces of evidence.
However, because his skills were too shallow, all his moves were easily neutralized by Tony Stark, and he was completely annihilated.
If that were all, it would be fine.
So, "Fuck Squid"?
And in front of so many military and political leaders and the media?
This is ridiculous! Even a newbie just starting out in politics knows how to control his emotions better than this.
You're telling me someone like this is a senator?
This moment.
Nick Fury also expressed his deep agreement with Zhou Cheng's complaints in his diary.
Does Hydra really have no requirements for recruiting people?
Do they really accept just anyone?
Nick Fury felt ashamed for Hydra for the sake of that useless guy on screen and his utterly pathetic performance.
"waste!"
"That piece of trash!"
"Something that seemed certain to succeed has been turned into this!"
Nick Fury's guess was correct.
Alexander Pierce, in his top-floor office in the Tri-Wing building, almost smashed the large screen in front of him.
In order to cooperate with Stern's hearing, he even issued a special order to allocate some of the resources controlled by Hydra to Stern.
Otherwise, how could all those tactics designed to target Tony Stark have been prepared so smoothly?
Pierce originally thought that this hearing should be a sure thing, since he had indeed prepared very thoroughly beforehand.
All the evidence is in place, giving us a significant advantage from a legal perspective.
Therefore, a hearing is not a problem.
The real issue lies in the power struggle that unfolds behind the scenes after the hearing.
The military-industrial complex represented by Stark is not so easy to deal with; winning the hearings doesn't mean you've truly won.
Even if they win the hearing, it will only be the beginning.
Pierce had also made the necessary preparations to confront the military-industrial complex behind Stark and seize the Iron Man armor completely.
As a result, despite all the hard work and preparations he had made, Stern's side completely collapsed!
They even messed up the special hearing.
That's it. All that talk about dealing with military-industrial complexes is just wishful thinking.
Stern simply wouldn't give him that chance!
"What a useless piece of trash, all talk and no action!"
Alexander Pierce grew angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but curse out loud again.
However, after calming down, Pierce quickly regained his composure and began to think about his next strategy.
The complete failure of the hearings effectively extinguished Hydra's ambition to control the Iron Man suits.
It even nipped the problem in the bud.
It's highly unlikely that Hydra will be able to take the Iron Man armor back from Tony Stark.
No matter how unwilling or angry Alexander Pierce was, he had to recognize this cruel fact.
The only consolation is that Nick Fury's side was quite helpful; they actually found another person who had mastered the Iron Man armor technology!
Therefore, the only course of action now is to keep a close eye on Ivan Vanko.
We missed Tony Stark's armor, but we absolutely cannot miss Ivan Vanko's armor!
Alexander Pierce made this decision in his heart.
"Alright, that's a recess, that's a recess!"
"I will serve this country for my own pleasure."
"I've discovered something: I'm the most fun-loving person in the world!"
on the screen.
Tony Stark's voice continued, drawing Alexander Pierce's attention.
But then Tony Stark put on sunglasses and, as the person being heard, unilaterally announced the termination of the hearing.
He even openly delivered a cool speech in the venue and shook hands with his enthusiastic supporters.
The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly lively.
What kind of hearing?
It was basically Tony Stark's personal press conference!
Alexander Pierce's face was incredibly dark.
"I love you all!"
"Yao yao yao yao..."
Under Pierce's unpleasant gaze, the playboy left behind a trail of lewd remarks and strode away amidst enthusiastic applause.
He was as dashing and cool as ever.
"Welcome home, sir!"
"Congratulations on the great success of your opening ceremony and the hearing."
"And I must say it's also refreshing to finally see you wearing clothes on TV."
Back at the luxury villa.
The thoughtful AI Jarvis immediately sent warm greetings and blessings, and even made a joke about its boss.
Since Playboy created the Iron Man suit, news media have been filled with videos about the Destroyer for a long time.
In other words, these are not videos of Tony Stark wearing clothes, but rather videos of him wearing armor.
"Ha ha."
As Tony Stark watched the video of the hearing broadcast on the news projected by Jarvis, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
He was quite satisfied with his performance.
"His performance at the hearing was truly spectacular." That's a great summary; he really did pull off a phenomenal performance.
"Jarvis!"
However, after a brief moment of smugness, Tony Stark's expression turned serious.
He made a decision.
"That fat senator who presided over the hearing, I want you to dig deep into his background and find all the evidence against him."
"A person in such a high position can't possibly have a clean record. I want you to uncover all those dirty deeds!"
Let's begin!
Tony Stark gave Jarvis this order.
Normally.
Even if Stern specifically targets him, Tony Stark won't care, after all, the playboy understands the rules of this world.
Once his steel armor is released, countless people will inevitably be eyeing it and plotting against it.
This is inevitable.
It's either this senator or another senator, it doesn't matter.
That's just how the world is.
Tony Stark isn't so easily swayed by this, much less capable of making any immature decisions because of it.
But now?
Playboy already knows that his parents were killed by Hydra!
The person who tried to steal his Iron Man armor was also a Hydra agent, and Tony Stark wouldn't let that go so easily.
He's going to launch a strong counterattack!
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?"
"It sounds like you have a very dangerous plan."
Jarvis is quite intelligent and began to solicit and confirm Playboy's opinion.
"Let's begin, I know what I'm doing!"
Tony Stark said to Jarvis without hesitation.
"As you wish, sir!"
Jarvis stopped wasting time and immediately began to search for Senator Stern as Tony Stark had instructed.
soon.
Some dirt on Senator Stern, a collection of criminal evidence, some records of bribery and corruption, and some shady videos.
Etc., etc.
Jarvis immediately identified these sensitive, dark things.
"I never would have guessed that this 'fat pig senator' is so old, yet he's more adept at playing games than I am."
Tony Stark glanced through the dirt and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sir, what are your plans next?"
Jarvis asked Tony Stark for his opinion again.
These scandals are enough to send an ordinary person to prison for more than ten years, but for a senator, that's far from enough.
Playboy is certain that if these scandals were sent to police stations or the FBI, they would most likely be ignored.
Playboy knows all too well what kind of people those ordinary law enforcement agencies really are.
Even if Stern performed poorly at the hearings, he was still a senator, and not someone who could be easily taken down just because someone had some dirt on him.
Tony Stark is not that naive.
and so.
What should we do with all this dirt on us?
Tony Stark naturally came up with two feasible methods.
First, release all this dirt on us, making it known to everyone.
In this way, the interest groups behind Stern have no choice but to make one decision.
Abandon Stern and sever ties with him.
Stern has been completely dethroned by Tony Stark.
However, doing this is not without its downsides. By breaking the rules of the game and acting in such an extreme way, Playboy's future situation will likely become very difficult.
The upper class will view playboys as a scourge, since no one likes such a troublemaker.
If Tony Stark can do this to a senator today, he could do this to any one of them tomorrow!
Even the notoriously lawless and arrogant Tony Stark would have to think twice about the consequences.
And the second one...
That is, to seek a department that is above ordinary law enforcement agencies such as police departments and the FBI.
For example, S.H.I.E.L.D.!
In addition, Tony Stark had another consideration: to use Stern to remind S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hydra still exists!
They even infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.!
In any case, this was the intelligence agency established by her own father.
Although Tony Stark was usually indifferent, he couldn't bear to see S.H.I.E.L.D. in such a precarious situation.
They couldn't just stand by and watch their father's hard work be destroyed by Hydra, could they?
Therefore, considering all these factors, Tony Stark made a decision with great pleasure: to hand over Stern's incriminating evidence to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Of course.
Given that Hydra agents were everywhere in S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark didn't dare contact anyone else.
Instead, they contacted Coulson, who had been identified by the diary.
This person "sacrificed himself heroically," so he definitely couldn't be a Hydra, right?
Why not contact Nick Fury directly?
Ok.
Even for Tony Stark, Nick Fury's level is slightly higher.
But that's not really a problem.
Because of his targeting of a senator, and even based on information provided by Tony Stark, there was some extremely secretive evidence suggesting that Stern was actually a member of Hydra!
How could Coulson not report something of this magnitude to Nick Fury?
Almost immediately after receiving the relevant evidence from Playboy, Coulson went to Nick Fury's office and reported it to Lu Dan in detail.
"Was all this evidence provided to you by Stark?"
After reviewing the relevant evidence, Nick Fury couldn't help but raise his head and look at Coulson with his one eye, asking a question.
It has to be said that this really caught Nick Fury completely off guard.
After learning that Stern was a Hydra agent, Nick Fury was already struggling with how to handle the situation.
After all, Hydra has so many spies. It's not difficult for Lu Dan to investigate Stern; the difficulty lies in how to conduct the investigation without alerting anyone.
How to conduct an investigation without leaking any information or alerting Hydra!
Knowing that Hydra had infiltrated to a ruthless degree, yet not knowing exactly where it had gone, it was no easy feat to accomplish something like this.
Even the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. has to plan carefully.
But Lu Dan never expected that at this crucial moment, Tony Stark would give him such a big gift!
This is just like having a pillow delivered to your head when you're about to fall asleep!
With this evidence from Playboy, Lu Dan could then legitimately and openly investigate Stern.
It has to be said that Tony Stark's assist was absolutely brilliant.
I was extremely satisfied with the braised eggs.
However, at the same time, Nick Fury couldn't help but have another question.
Why would Tony Stark suddenly investigate Stern?
Just because Stern wanted to steal Playboy's armor?
At first glance, that seems to be the case, but based on Nick Fury's understanding of Tony Stark, Lu Dan thinks that a smart person like Tony Stark would never act so recklessly.
This kind of reckless biting, disregarding the rules of the game, may seem to provide temporary relief, but the consequences can be very serious.
Lu Dan didn't believe Tony Stark couldn't understand.
So~
A thought flashed through Nick Fury's mind.
It seems highly likely that Tony Stark is also the owner of the diary!
