Chapter 151

Coming out of Charles' office, Ling Xiao walked towards the second floor, where Jenny's room was in the corner of the second floor.

Ling Xiao pushed the door open and went in, seeing the little rascal who was sitting on the carpet fiddling with the TV remote control, couldn't help being slightly taken aback,

Jenny, who was standing at the window, shrugged helplessly at Ling Xiao. The little rascal is here, so she can't drive her out.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care, and then greeted Little Naughty, "What are you looking at, Mary?"

"It's nothing." Little Rascal grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth. While chewing, he said dissatisfiedly: "It's the Stark Industries hearing, and Iron Man is also being targeted."

In the eyes of Little Rascal and others, although Tony Stark is an ordinary person, as a superhero, he is also of the same kind as them.Not to mention that Stark sympathizes with mutants, and donates Dabi cash to the mutant academy every year, so it is natural to treat him as one of his own.

Although Ling Xiao mentioned to Professor Charles that he didn't want his relationship with the Academy of Mutants to be known to others, and Professor Charles also promised to help him keep the secret, but whether Stark knew Ling Xiao's identity was really true. Hard to say.

Speaking of which, Ling Xiao's public identity is just a well-known Chinese medicine doctor in Los Angeles. Stark let him treat him so reassuringly. Although Pepper strongly recommends him, the curative effect is also very good. Did you really not notice anything?

Ling Xiao's mutant ability is unknown in the entire mutant academy except Professor Charles, in order to create an illusion for others, an illusion that Ling Xiao is not a mutant.

Ling Xiao smiled, walked to Jenny's side, held her in his arms, played with her fingers, and watched the hearing on TV.

Senator Stein was in charge of presiding over the hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Looking at the careless Tony Stark, Stein knocked on the table vigorously and said, "Mr. Stark, let us continue the topic just now, Stark. Mister K!"

"Yes, dear." Tony, who was talking with Pepper in a low voice, turned his head and said this directly, and everyone laughed when they saw this scene.

"Mr. Stark, please answer, do you have a special weapon?" There was a sneer on Stein's face, and everything had just begun.

"I haven't." Stark replied decisively, then he spread his hands and said helplessly, "Of course, it depends on what you think is a weapon."

"Iron Man is considered a weapon, isn't it?" Sitting on the high platform of the hearing, Stein approached Stark little by little.

"What I invented is not considered a weapon." Stark sneered, so that he would not get into the trap set by Stein.

Stein couldn't believe what Tony Stark said, looked around, and then asked, "So how would you describe it?"

"How should I put it, it is actually a high-tech prosthetic, Senator, yes, a prosthetic. This is the most appropriate adjective I can find." Tony's answer made everyone present laugh, Ling Xiao and Jenny was no exception, the little naughty almost spit out the potato chips in her mouth.

"It is a weapon, and he is a weapon." Stein said a few words in a deep voice, suppressing the current noise, and then stared at Stark and said: "If you put the well-being of the American people as the priority , Mr. Stark, then you should turn it over to the American government."

"Don't even think about it." Stark replied unceremoniously: "I am Iron Man, Iron Man is me, and I and my Iron Suit are one. To hand over Iron Man is to hand over myself , that's equivalent to forced labor or prostitution...it depends on which continent you are in. I can't give it to you."

"Pfft!" The little rascal really spewed out this time, and Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud. He has been in contact with Stark for so long, and he has never realized that he is such a funny man!

"Listen, I'm not a weapons expert myself...," Stein tried to silence the crowd by explaining,

But Stark didn't give him this face, and directly took advantage of the loopholes in his words, interrupted: "Prostitution expert, of course you are not a prostitution expert, you are a US Senator, please."

Stark's words made everyone present couldn't help laughing again. The senator was just a little vague, but Tony Stark seized the opportunity and sarcastically sarcastically. Not good looking.

"I'm not a weapons expert," Senator Stein said in a deep voice, "but we have invited a weapons expert, Mr. Justin Hammer. I'm going to subpoena Justin Hammer, one of the current major weapons suppliers to the Department of Defense .”

Tony turned his head, just in time to see Justin Hammer sitting aside, rolled his eyes, and said loudly: "Please record, I saw Mr. Hammer come in, but I didn't see any weapons experts come in."

"Ha..." Ling Xiao understood once again, he took the fruit plate handed over by Jenny, couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "This Tony, he is not polite at all, I think this Justin Ham wants Bad luck."

"What is Justin Hammer doing?" Jenny stuffed an apple into her mouth, and asked with some surprise: "The Stark Group has withdrawn from the list of weapons suppliers of the Ministry of Defense. It's no longer a competitive relationship, is it necessary for him to offend Tony Stark so much?"

"Of course it is necessary." Ling Xiao sighed, touched Jenny's little hand and said: "Once the Ministry of National Defense obtains Tony Stark's Iron Armor, Hammer Industries will naturally get a share of it. Last time You can get all the design drawings of the Steel Armor and the Ark Reactor, and the interests contained in it are at least tens to tens of billions of dollars, or even more. What's more, there are some big figures behind this, even if It's Justin Hammer who doesn't want to get involved in this matter, and sometimes he can't help it."

"So that's what happened." Although Jenny didn't quite understand the last sentence, all of this was nothing more than a conflict of interests.

Hearing Stark's sarcasm, Justin Hammer smiled indifferently and said, "That's right, I'm not a weapon expert, you are, Tony."

Justin Hammer's words made Tony Stark's face change. Brother Chun, the atmosphere at the hearing began to become mysterious.

"Senator, please allow me to speak." Justin Hammer said very politely: "Maybe I am not a weapon expert, but do you know who is the real expert? It is Tony, and his father, Howard Mr. Stark, he is not only our parent, but also the father of the modern military industry. But please understand, he is not a hippie, he is a lion."

Now everyone can hear what Justin Hammer wants to do, and Tony Stark is sitting there like water, without saying a word.

Sitting on the high platform, Stein couldn't help showing a smile on his face, that Justin Hammer was looking for a pretty good one.As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is your enemy, and that's true of Justin Hammer versus Tony Stark.

"We all know why we are here today. In the past six months, Tony Stark has created a sharp sword, but he insists that it is just a shield." Justin Hammer stared at Tony and said: "He asked us to trust him, to hide behind him. I wish I felt safe, really, I wish I didn't have to lock the door when I went out, but this is not Canada, we live in a world full of dangers, and There are many dangers that Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee. Thank you everyone, may God bless Iron Man and the United States of America!"

Selfishness, or public interest?

Justin Hammer's words pushed Tony Stark to the edge of morality, leaving him almost no choice.
