infinite hero

Tony felt that he had been greatly and unnecessarily frightened.

The only person who can make his heart rate exceed one hundred beats per minute is undoubtedly Sid.He originally thought that this kind of thing that tested the strength of his heart would never happen—even if it happened, Sid should have confessed to him or something—

But this first time was actually used to dig Sid out of the ground!And the moment he saw the person, he couldn't help but shed tears because Sid was fine!

Of course, the amount of tears was not enough to overflow his eyes, and the golden facial armor also allowed him to hide his emotions well.

It's great that Sid is ok... no wonder!

"Why are you here? Haven't you been told to leave? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

After throwing down these three questions, Tony didn't wait for Sid to fully climb out of a self-powered van that had been crushed, and started the flight propellers of the combat boots, turning them into golden-red arcs in the sky neatly. Wire.

Others present were Pepper and Natasha, both of whom were stunned.Why can Tony talk about caring so annoyingly? !

"It's nothing." Most of Sid's body has come out, and he is carefully pulling out his other leg through the gap, "Brother is just angry."

"Boss," Pepper hesitated slightly, "what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Sid had completely pulled out at this time and was arranging his suit.Truth be told, aside from being a bit grey, he looked ready for an international conference any day. "I just didn't have time to get to the emergency passage, and the ceiling fell down—" He pointed to the van that could still barely see its original shape, "Fortunately, the quality of our products is still reliable."

This made Pepper even more suspicious.Almost buried underground, why didn't Sid look nervous at all?It just doesn't feel right, plus Tony's rage...

Uh, their vice president shouldn't remember to clean up the mess for Stark Industries' exhibition at that time, right?For example, by the way, make an advertisement for the anti-seismic performance of the vehicle...?

Pepper was stunned by his daring imagination.No, no, she must be thinking too much!How could Sid take his own life as a joke?

But in fact, it must be said, Sid's idea is even more daring than Pepper's guess.

After knowing Vanke and Mechanical Soldiers, he knew that the expo was going to be smashed; then Spiderman appeared, and there was another news headline about this incident; Iron Man would join the battle immediately, and people would definitely talk about it.

In order to squeeze a position in these three headlines, he had to risk it-what is a more convincing sales pitch than a living person who successfully survived a disaster comparable to the scene of an earthquake?

What?You said that Ivan Vanke is likely to succeed?Sorry, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot stop Vanke, Iron Man will never be able to!

Of course, these are official reasons.Personally, Sid felt, he should have risked probing Tony's reaction.He has been waiting for ten years, and there is no way he will wait another ten years.

Today's facts proved that Tony cared about him as much as he imagined, maybe even more.But to what extent, and whether it has reached the level he expected, there are still doubts.

But that's okay, Sid thought as he directed the cleanup, no one in the world knew Tony better than him, he still had the best chance.

In the next few days, things developed as Sid expected.The media reported on the failure of the Stark Industries Expo. The hottest news is listed as follows: "The Stark Industries Expo was destroyed in a sudden attack!"

"Fans or enemies? Spider-Man surprises Stark Industries Expo!"

"A new generation of armor is born! Count down the five major differences between Iron Man's latest armor and the Mark V!"

"Luck = strength? The vice president of Stark Industries escaped unscathed!"

Although the last piece of news contained Sid's intention to create a topic, the stock of Stark Industries rose instead of falling, which has already explained everything.As for the letters and visits that arrived at the Stark Industries headquarters, they brought a considerable amount of orders——

That's right, Stark Industries wasn't badly affected by this incident at all, because Sid snuffed them out in the bud right away—

This is one of the free and powerful advertisements for our products;

Immediately after escaping from danger, people started to file a lawsuit against Hanmer Advanced Industries. This is the second; quickly held a press conference, stating that Stark Industries will bear all the rehabilitation costs of the injured and make corresponding compensation. This is the third.

It has to be said that this attitude and speed have brought great benefits to Stark Industries.

For example, in the second article, let Stark Industries get ahead of a bunch of creditors in Hammer, and get the mortgage funds of Hammer Advanced Industries and the compensation from the insurance company first.In addition to paying compensation, the money is more than enough, and it can be used for production and research, which is beneficial and harmless.

In addition, this kind of generous attitude is also conducive to maintaining Stark Industries' responsible and positive image, promoting popularity and recognition, which is the greatest benefit that excellent crisis public relations can bring.

And Hanmer Advanced Industries went bankrupt this time.Justin Hammer faces more than 100 years in prison for being suspected of major economic crimes and disturbing public order.As for Vanke who was taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D.... let's light a candle for him in advance.

"'Somebody's gotta pay for it'." Seeing the summary report on the incident, Sid softly repeated what Tony had said.Obviously they won't be the ones paying the price, right?

At this time, the intercom phone on the desk beeped and answered automatically. "Sir, Dr. Connors has entered the elevator."

"Understood." Sid replied, putting away the summary report—he had no interest in giving away commercial secrets for others to see.

After he was done, Pepper invited Kurt Connors into Sid's office.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to serve coffee." Pepper closed the door and went out after finishing speaking.

Dr. Kurt Conners is a scientist who studies cross-species inheritance to regenerate human limbs. He is currently working in the Applied Science Research Department of Osborne Enterprises.Sid knew him as a student because he had given several lectures at MIT.

"Long time no see, Professor." Sid stood up and shook hands with the other party.But he could only shake his left hand with Dr. Conners, because the latter only had a piece of his upper arm left on his right hand.

"Long time no see." Dr. Connors was a little cautious.

Of course, part of the reason is that he himself is not extroverted, and the other part is the hidden inferiority complex because of the broken arm.This is not easy to show in normal times, but it is obvious when there is a strong contrast-for example, when you are in the same room with a proud man like Sid.

"Please sit down, Professor." Sid walked around from behind the desk, took the two cups of coffee that Pepper brought in, handed one of them to the doctor, and sat down on the side sofa.

The warm and mellow coffee seems to have given Dr. Conners enough courage to speak. "It's really presumptuous to visit suddenly. In fact, the question may be presumptuous..."

"Don't mind, please tell me." Sid has dealt with many businessmen, and he has heard this kind of words a lot.But of course, he could see that the Doctor was really stuck.

Dr. Conners seemed to want to take another sip of his coffee, but finally put it down. "I wonder... are you still working on spider venom? I remember you once wrote a paper on it."

"You mean the one I didn't publish at the end?" Sid smiled. "It's an honor that someone still remembers it."

Dr. Conners heard a hidden negation in this evasive answer.He was a little disappointed, but he hadn't completely given up. "You didn't publish it because...?"

"Because I found that I still have more credits to take." Sid still smiled, "The time left for me to graduate was running out, and I had to make a trade-off; you must understand."

"That's right..." Although Dr. Connors nodded (Sid's identity was destined not to become a scientist), his expression and tone did not hide his disappointment.

"If I remember correctly, you never gave up on your subject," Sid continued. "You came here today, did you encounter any problems?"

Dr. Conners looked at Sid, hesitating to speak.But in the end he stuck the conversation back and shook his head: "It's just the same... not much progress." He thought for a while, then stood up again: "Then I'll go back first... I'm sorry to bother you today."

After the two said goodbye, Sid still sat on the sofa, staring at the untouched cup of coffee.

He was almost sure that it was the people from Osborne Enterprises who put too much pressure on Dr. Connors.Especially Spider-Man, who has been in the limelight recently; as long as you know a little bit about the inside story of spider venom, it is easy to connect the two.

Moreover, regardless of whether the spider toxin is successful in producing Spider-Man, based on his understanding of Osborne Enterprises (the president Norman Osborn has been bedridden for a long time, and the high-level decision-makers are quite eager for quick success), Dr. Connors' research progress It is also inevitable to be questioned.

"Open the database."

Sid said to the empty office, but immediately a whole blue floating photoelectric screen popped up in the air, and dense white letters flashed across it.

He was telling the truth, he didn't have much time to study spider venom at that time; but it's different now, Spider-Man took the initiative to appear at their Stark Industries Expo.

Assuming that Spider-Man himself is a friend rather than an enemy, then it is very important to determine whether the spider toxin is reliable in advance-it has not been tested on humans, and no one knows what side effects it has-if we can find out who Spider-Man is, then It's better to be sure.

At this point, Spider-Man—a young high school boy, Peter Parker—had no idea that he was starting to be seen by more people.

In fact, he was still obsessed with the excitement that he and the super idol appeared in the same news, and he couldn't extricate himself.He has already made relevant news clippings and pasted them all over the entire wall of the bedroom. In the middle is a color photo of him and Iron Man side by side.

"Although I sneaked away in the end to hide my identity...but this is a good start!" Peter lay on his single bed, and couldn't help thinking about the bright future.He's not greedy; it would be nice to get him and Tony up close!
