Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

After a moment of surprise at the fact that Luthor had so much free time, Tony quickly regained his composure.

Who cares why Luther is so free, anyway, as long as Luther is there, the Lex Group cannot collapse, just like the Stark Group cannot collapse as long as he and the old man are around, and sooner or later, the old man in this sentence will not collapse. Remove - as long as he is there, the Stark Group will not be able to collapse.

After confirming the meeting and interview with Luther tomorrow afternoon, Tony hung up the phone contentedly, and already had a wonderful confidence that he would be able to gather the funds needed for the experiment immediately.

Look at the old man, he thought complacently, I don't have to ask you to pay me to do the experiment well.

On the other side, Howard also complained endlessly about Tony: "...Maria! Look, this is our good son! He really can't understand my painstaking efforts at all!"

"Why don't you tell him anything, dear," Maria said. "What's the use of you complaining to me?"

This 40-year-old woman raised her head and smiled at her husband. Her face was fair and clean without any wrinkles. Her eyes were big and round, and the sweet caramel-colored pupils revealed a softness that only belonged to women.

Howard's expression became gentle and relaxed. He stared at his wife, couldn't help showing a smile, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Like the late Ayres, the Starks are also a pair of fairy couples in the eyes of everyone, but the difference is that people know nothing about the past of the Ayers, but the Starks' past Clearly.

The young Howard was also a playboy. Before meeting Maria, he had been wandering among women, influenced by their perfume and flowers, and loved by women.

As for Mrs. Stark, before she met Howard, she was warm and fragrant, a beauty in the flames of war.

The jokes and fools they made when they were together are the legends of the previous generation. After many, many years, time has polished them into what they are now. Howard is no longer so hard-edged, and Maria is no longer so iron-blooded. Feng Rui, their strongest and strongest part is deeply hidden in their hearts, hidden in their bones and blood. The real them have become stronger and stronger in the tempering of time, but the selves they have revealed have become softer instead.

Compared with the past, they are as soft as a ball of mud.

"We were too gentle." Howard said to Maria. The old father who was frowning and worrying about the relationship with his son just now was swept away and replaced by a soldier, a general, "We can't Be so ambiguous again—it's my fault, dear Maria, that I thought there was room for change in the matter, and didn't show them our determination."

Maria held her husband's hand and asked in a low voice, "Are they still secretly supporting the rebels in Afghanistan?"

"More than that," Howard sneered, "They have started to provide assistance to third parties. God knows who they are, spies, spies, mercenaries who do everything for money... I make weapons to stop wars, Not to start a war!"

"I understand, my dear, I have always understood." Maria immediately comforted him, but her brows were still stained with worry, "Tony, he...he didn't realize how serious this matter is. We spoiled him so much, we didn't teach him a lot of things that should have been taught to him."

"He's young, he doesn't take anyone seriously, he doesn't know what war is, he makes weapons and sells them, that's all he does," Howard said. It will be used by some people, some will be used to defend justice, and some will be used to kill women and children. He knows this, Maria, you and I understand it, he is very smart, he understands this, but he doesn't care. "

"Weapons are a must, so once we've made them, we're going to do everything we can to make sure they're used correctly." Maria sighed softly, "but Tony doesn't care. He thinks that's The responsibility of the government has nothing to do with him."

But how could this have nothing to do with them?Those weapons are made to take life, how can this have nothing to do with them?

"He's just a silly kid who can build things." Howard also sighed.

The atmosphere between them fell silent, and the two leaned together holding hands in silence.

But soon, Maria teased her husband with a low smile: "But he is a silly boy who is good at making things, just like you, isn't he, eh?"

Howard laughed too.

The couple whispered intimately for a while, and they finally felt better. Howard looked at the time and felt that it was almost the same, so he took his wife into the car and planned to go to the secret laboratory of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Captain America's search and rescue team returned without success again. Howard, who had been disappointed too many times, was very calm about it, which was different from what everyone in the outside world thought. In fact, he had long dismissed the matter of finding Captain America. It's good to find it, Steve is a hero, he deserves a glorious return ceremony and a funeral; but it's okay to find it, the spirit of Captain America already exists in his heart, and the future will exist in Tony's heart .

Sooner or later, Tony would grow up to make him proud, but Howard never doubted this.

Perhaps it is his excessive pride and confidence in Tony that makes him always ignore Tony involuntarily.

You know, for some people, when they have a cat in front of them and a person strong enough to be in trouble at the same time, they don't hesitate to rush to save the cat.

That's not because they don't love that person enough, or care about that person enough, but because they have enough confidence in that person, knowing that he can protect themselves, and the cat, it is small and weak, needs to be protected by others.

But Howard forgot—or, deliberately, didn't give the "I believe in you" affirmation.

As Karl has lamented countless times, you control freaks, how hard is it for you to express your emotions?

Probably harder than saving the world.

Howard was driving on the road. Today's weather is fine and there are no clouds in the sky. But for some reason, the sky darkened as he drove, and the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was about to happen. .

"Can we come back tonight?" Maria was a little worried. "After Tony and you quarreled, he always came to find his favorite mommy. If mommy wasn't here, he would be so disappointed."

Howard said angrily, "I'm not coming back tonight! Little brat, you've been yelling at me all day long, and behave like a rabbit in front of you."

"Oh~" Maria sweetly said a wavy sound, "Someone here is jealous, whose jealousy are you eating dear? Are you unhappy that Tony doesn't like Daddy, only Mommy, or not? Happy mommy thinks of Tony, not Daddy?"

"—or both?"

Howard gave her a sideways look, but said nothing.

But Maria, who knew her husband well, got the answer from this reaction and laughed loudly: "Oh dear, oh my Howard, you are so cute..."

Howard slammed the steering wheel!

Maria, who was still laughing uncontrollably, fell in the direction of Howard by surprise, but she was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves. She realized that something was wrong from Howard's tense jaw, and immediately stretched out her hand to support the front to stabilize stature, immediately curled up under the window.

A few bullets almost flew past her forehead, the smell of gunpowder smoke rose to the tip of her nose, and her forehead also felt a little painful, but Maria just quickly fished out two slender women's pistols from under the seat and held them firmly. in hand.

She raised her head alertly, and looked around carefully through the windows and rearview mirror. The surrounding light was dim, and there were no vehicles passing by, so it was impossible to see who was ambushing.

"Howard?" she whispered. "Are you still awake?"

"I'm fine, honey... but bad news number one, our tires blew out, the system was damaged, and we couldn't drive at all; Lungs, dear, your husband doesn't know how much longer he can last."

"Very good, civil servant." Maria snorted softly, complaining, "What did I say back then? You can never have too much physical training, and you just don't listen."

"I'm sorry dear... If I can go back alive, I will definitely... train with you every day..."

Howard's voice weakened, but Maria never looked back. She was focused on guarding against the killer who might appear here at any time to check the results of her assassination mission. She knew very well that the other party would definitely appear, and as long as she could If you find an opportunity to kill the opponent, you will have the opportunity to take Howard out of the dead end.

At the beginning, they should have realized that something was wrong when they didn't meet the car of their companions for several hours in a row, but after all, they had been away from the front line of the battlefield for so many years, and the amazing intuition and acuity cultivated between life and death were replaced by trivial matters. daily wear and tear.

The most important thing is that they are indeed not young anymore. Howard is in his 50s and she is in her 40s. Both of them are in a stage of declining physical strength and energy.

And the killer who assassinated them must be at the peak of his strength.

Maria breathed gently and tensed every inch of her body. She didn't completely rely on her own vision, but also relied on the muscle intuition she had acquired through long-term training. She sensed all the movements around her, only occasionally Gently twist your fingers to make sure you're always ready to shoot.

It is true that she has aged a lot, but age does not only mean the aging of muscles, but also means a wealth of experience far beyond that of young people.

It's almost there, it's almost there, the critical point for the killer to show up——

The two pistols specially made for her were already hot from her grip, and behind her, Howard suddenly burst into a cough with a watery sound.

coming!
