Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 102 Kidnapped Again
Early the next morning, the North American Command announced at a news media conference that an F22 crashed due to a malfunction while flying. Fortunately, the pilot escaped.

After waking up early in the morning, Jack watched the news and thought that Tony's actions were really fast.

At this time, Tony also strolled into the living room. He glanced at the news and said mockingly:
"The media is going to hype the professionalism of pilots again."

Jack is speechless, isn't all of this due to you?
"Tony, I have some things to do, so..."

Tony came to a difficult place in life at this time. As a friend, Jack should have been by his side to support him, but Jack didn't forget that he left Elizabeth at IMG all night.

Jack has to deal with his love first.

Tony is a person who can't speak soft words. Although he hopes that Jack will stay, he will never open his mouth. He changed the subject at will:
"I forgot to ask yesterday, why are you in Los Angeles?"

Of course Jack would not say that he originally wanted to watch the excitement. He turned his mind and said, "I'm here to visit my girlfriend."

"You actually have a girlfriend?" Tony asked with a surprised expression.

"That's weird?" Jack felt insulted. "Her name is Elizabeth and she's a model."

Tony came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Elizabeth? A model? So you like queens?"

Jack rolled his eyes, what an American humor!
"It was love at first sight."

Tony laughed: "My friend, there is no love in America. The profession of modeling reminds me a lot..."

Knowing that Tony couldn't say anything good, Jack ignored him and walked out of the villa by himself.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Tony was very lonely.

……

Back in the car, Mark was taking a nap in the main driver. He stayed in the car all night last night, outside Tony's villa.

The sound of the car door opening woke Mark up. He glanced at Jack and said:

"Last night I saw two aircraft flying out, I guess one of them is you... Jack, I am your bodyguard, I can protect you from external dangers, but if the dangers come from yourself, I am afraid there is nothing I can do .”

Mark was very serious when he spoke, and Jack could only nod his head to admit his mistake.

After nearly ten years of getting along, Mark is not only Jack's bodyguard, but also his family.

Everyone is an adult. Seeing that Jack admitted his mistake and Mark was no longer pestering him, he rubbed his face and asked:
"Where do we go now?"

"IMG."

The car started and drove towards Hollywood.

Not long after Jack left, an uninvited guest came to the Malibu villa.

……

When Coulson received the new order from Director Ferry, he refused in his heart, but there was no way. There may be many people who can fight in S.H.I.E.L.D., but there are very few people who can do liaison work.

So the task of contacting Tony Stark still fell on Coulson.

The cause of the incident was the crash.

F22 accidentally crashed in the California area. The inside story may be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is committed to protecting the security of the world, realized that Tony Stark might have invented a weapon that crossed the ages, so he sent Coulson to Los Angeles.

While waiting for the door to open, Coulson once again simulated the entire conversation in his mind...

Unfortunately, Coulson's meticulous preparation did not open the door of Tony's house...

Tony, who is in a bad mood, doesn't want to meet an unknown FBI agent at this moment.

Coulson returned to the car decisively, dialed Fury's phone,
"Director, I think you have to change my identity. The identity of an FBI agent can only scare cats and dogs in the United States!"

"You were turned away... well, I'll give you an identity that Tony Stark can't refuse."

About 10 minutes later, Coulson received information about his new identity, executive director of Shining Star Company.

……

Around ten o'clock.

Pepper brings a schedule to the Malibu villa, where she lives sometimes but mostly in Los Angeles.

The first time she got out of the car, she saw the big hole Jack made last night.

"Happy, has there been a terrorist attack here?" Pepper asked Happy who also just arrived at the villa.

"I had a date last night, and I just arrived." The incompetent bodyguard Happy replied.

Pepper quickly walked into the villa. When she saw that Tony was safe and sound in the living room on the second floor, she relaxed her nervous heart.

"Tony, what happened last night?"

Tony, who was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, turned his head to look at Pepper and Happy, and said with a smile, "My newly developed drone exploded..."

"Tony..."

Pepper raised her voice. She is not an idiot, how could she believe such a low-level lie.

Tony changed the subject decisively, "Okay... What are my plans for today? I'm ready for a big fight!"

"Tony, you have been dismissed as chairman, so..." Pepper lowered her voice as she spoke, she was afraid of irritating Tony.

Instead of being depressed, Tony laughed, "So I don't have a job now?"

"No, you just made an appointment, from Phil Coulson, the executive director of Shining Star."

"Xingyao Company?"

Tony asked suspiciously, and after getting an affirmative answer from Pepper, he immediately asked, "Where is he, I want to see him right away..."

Pepper, who did not expect such a big reaction from Tony, was taken aback:
"Is he important?"

"It's so important. He decides whether I can take back the position of chairman. Tell me, where is he? Pepper!"

"The Fox Hotel."

"Happy, hurry up and get the car ready!" Tony said as he twisted his waist and walked quickly towards the cloakroom. He had to change his clothes!
……

The traffic in Los Angeles is slightly better than that in New York, but it’s not much better. After spending an hour, Tony and his party were stuck in the No.15 block, three kilometers away from the Fox Hotel.

"Happy, can't you take the trail?" Tony asked impatiently in the back seat.

"I've taken the trail, but it's rush hour!" Happy replied.

Tony rested his chin and looked out the window in boredom. He misses the Mark 3 very much now. Although it may be shot down by the Air Force, at least he doesn't have to sit here.

Another 10 minutes passed, and Rolls-Royce remained motionless.

Tony couldn't bear it anymore, he opened the car door: "I'll walk over, you will come later."

"Hey Tony, you can't always get away with your bodyguards! Who's going to keep you safe without me?" Happy yelled.

"Then follow me!" Tony left Happy and Rolls-Royce without looking back.

Ten minutes later, Tony finally met Coulson at the dining bar of the Fox Hotel.

At this moment, Coulson is devouring a large table of delicacies...

Tony glanced at the food on the table, frowned and said, "You have a really good appetite, Mr. Coulson."

Coulson picked up the table cloth and wiped his mouth in embarrassment: "Believe me, there are not many opportunities to eat and drink with public funds..."

"It sounds like your company's treatment is not very good..." Tony felt that he had encountered a liar.

Coulson waved his hand to let the waiter clear the table, and then said with a smile: "The annual salary is 17 US dollars, and sometimes there will be a little special subsidy. Of course, we still have medical insurance, but it does not cover teeth. Dental treatment in the United States is too expensive. But our The pension is decent enough, maybe I shouldn't ask for too much."

What Coulson said, Tony took it as a joke, he pulled out the chair and went up, and said directly:

"Mr. Coulson, I am here this time to ask your company to support me to become the chairman of Stark Industries again..."

Tony is not good at soft words, he can only make his request honestly.

When Tony got to the point, Coulson smiled amiably and fell silent.

Seeing that Coulson was indifferent, Tony felt that his words might be too indifferent, and then added, "I can...I can give money!"

Coulson still maintained a kind smile. If it weren't for the swaying of his crossed legs, Tony would have thought he was facing a dummy.

The other party's silence made Tony very uncomfortable, and he took the initiative to ask again:
"Or, what does Shining Star need?"

Coulson lowered his crossed hands, and this time he spoke: "Tony Stark, the most famous weapon manufacturing expert in the United States..."

"Don't be so flattering..." Tony interjected.

"It's not a compliment, it's a fact. I know you've just completed a cross-generational invention, a weapon comparable to the atomic bomb. I want it!"

Tony stood up abruptly, "Aren't you a director of Xingyao Company? Who are you?"

Coulson also stood up, and stretched out his right hand to Tony while speaking...

"Let me introduce myself. I am Phil Coulson of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistic Support Agency. Of course, I am also the executive director of Shining Star Company."

It's just Tony taking a step back, "I'm not used to shaking people's hands...

This Mr. Coulson, you just said that you come from an unknown organization, and then you also own shares of Stark Industries? "

Tony swore he hadn't heard of this organization before.

"Mr. Stark, it is difficult for me to explain the complicated relationship with you, but I must explain that the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency is committed to protecting world peace, and we are a just organization."

"A just organization? To protect the world?" After Tony finished speaking, he sneered, "I always thought it was "Superman" who was protecting world peace..."

"Stop kidding, Stark, Superman is just a caricature, and this world has all kinds of dangers that you don't know about, and we are responsible for solving them."

"Are you an official U.S. organization?" Tony realized that Coulson wasn't joking.

"No, we are under the jurisdiction of the World Security Council." Coulson didn't want to say too much about the information of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. In a sense, this is also confidential.

"Stark, I assure you that our organization is absolutely just, and your new invention is too advanced, it is likely to be coveted by the bad guys, so handing it over to us is the most correct decision..."

Tony laughed loudly: "You mean, an unknown organization has been protecting the earth, and I, Tony Stark, need to hand over my invention to ensure that the world continues to be peaceful? To be honest, I feel for the first time You are so important."

Coulson was about to continue explaining...

boom!
There was an explosion outside the restaurant.

The people in the restaurant screamed and ran away...

Happy, who had been guarding two meters away from the dining table, ran over quickly and clumsily. He held Tony's head with one hand, lowered Tony's body, and said in a panic, "Attack, Tony, we are under attack."

Tony, who had already seen the big scene, shook off Happy's hand, and replied angrily: "Happy, I know we are under attack, as my bodyguard, shouldn't you do something?"

"They have guns!" exclaimed Happy.

Tony had an expression on his face that he would rather die than live. He really wanted to get rid of this fat man now.

On the other side, Coulson had already bowed his body the moment the bomb exploded. He knelt down and took out the silver pistol in his arms to check the situation at the entrance of the restaurant...

A small team of militants filed in. They were well-equipped and began to screen people as soon as they entered the door. Obviously, the visitors were not good!
Fortunately, Coulson chose a location deep in the dining bar, with a distance of about 10 meters between the two.

The situation was urgent, and Coulson hurriedly said to Tony: "I will shoot them away, and you escape from the edge of the window..."

Tony glanced at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the dining bar and shouted: "Are you kidding, this is the third floor! Didn't you say you are protecting the world? You can kill them!"

"Stark, I'm an agent, not Rambo!" Coulson said, raised his arm and fired two shots at the approaching militants, and then shouted at Tony: "Now, run!"

Coulson's marksmanship was good, and two shots knocked down a militant, but this also exposed their position...

The militants raised their guns and fired at the position of the three people.

Fortunately, Tony didn't hesitate, and pulled Happy to the window.

boom!
Tony hits the glass...

Embarrassingly, the glass didn't budge.

"Fuck, this must be a product of Fuyao!"

Tony cursed inwardly, but it didn't help.

The militants advanced alternately, and the powerful firepower suppressed Coulson, who ran into the dining table, unable to raise his head.

Tony and Happy, who stood alone in front of the window, were naked in their sight.

"Catch them alive!" One of the militants stopped the accomplice who wanted to shoot and shouted loudly.

Immediately, a militant walked out of the team. He raised his stun pistol and fired two shots at Tony and Happy.

sizzle...

Tony and Happy fell down!

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, a few militants took out a grenade and said, "Take Tony Stark, let's go!"

The militants were well-trained, and the two assault rifles continued to suppress Coulson. The other two militants pulled Tony up and started to retreat with him...

The leader then pulled off the ring of the grenade and threw it into the dining bar.

Coulson was calling for support from S.H.I.E.L.D. when he saw the grenade falling, he swooped nimbly to avoid the explosive power of the grenade.

boom!
The airflow generated by the explosion of the grenade pushed Coulson in mid-air to the window. Bang, Coulson shattered the glass and fell to the third floor!

Outside the hotel, harsh sirens kept ringing.

There were screaming and fleeing passers-by everywhere on the road.

The militants methodically walked into a black nanny van, but the hijacked Tony was not in it.

After all, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States. When a shooting occurred on the street, the police dispatched quickly. Several SWAT teams and LAPD quickly locked the fleeing nanny car...

Then there's the classic car chase...

Explosions, crashes, rollovers, gunpowder... It's like a blockbuster Hollywood filmed in Los Angeles!
After paying a huge price, all these militants were wiped out, and no one survived!
When he fell from the third floor, Coulson, who was lucky enough to be slightly injured, rushed to the scene with the S.H.I.E.L.D. action team. What he saw was a cloud of gunpowder smoke and corpses, and Tony Stark disappeared!
