Chapter 69 Tony Returns

Los Angeles, Stark Industries Division.

press conference.

Eddie and Phil squeezed into the crowd, holding up cameras, making sure to capture the first picture of Tony Stark, who had been missing for three months.

From life and death unknown, to returning to the homeland.

In the intervening three months, what exactly did Tony Stark experience, what did he want to express when he came back to hold a press conference...

This is something everyone wants to know.

Not just journalists.

The news of Tony Stark's return has spread on the Internet.

Netizens who learned the news also wanted to know what this genius inventor, playboy, billionaire... a winner in life with countless titles, will say at the press conference.

Anton and Betty were at the periphery of the crowd, watching a black car parked at the gate of Stark's industrial division.

"he came."

Suddenly, Anton looked at the figure of the co-pilot and spoke lightly.

Betty looked intently.

Tony Stark, with a bandage on his right hand, got out of the passenger seat under the welcome of an old bald head.

Still has a sexy moustache and suits.

On the surface, Tony Stark's first appearance after his disappearance hasn't changed much from three months ago.

But Betty was able to capture that there was an indescribable change in this person.

There is a huge difference in atmosphere.

"I have a hunch that he's going to say some incredible things next."

Anton folded his arms and watched Tony Stark step onto the podium.

At this time.

"Anton, we meet again."

A familiar voice came, and when he turned his head, it was Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.

He didn't seem surprised that Anton would appear here.

On the contrary, Anton is not surprised to meet him here.

"Can we talk alone?"

Coulson glanced at Betty beside Anton and said sternly: "There are some things I want to confirm with you."

"certainly."

Anton glanced at Betty and followed Coulson to the periphery of the crowd.

Immediately he asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Colson said: "With regard to Obadiah Stein, we have no evidence that he murdered Tony Stark, but we have found that Tony's disappearance is related to a group called the Ten Commandments. This group has a presence in Afghanistan. Extremely powerful, and secretly colluded with many underground organizations..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Anton listened impatiently and interrupted Coulson unceremoniously.

Coulson said: "Do you know about this organization called the Ten Rings Gang?"

"Ten Rings Gang?"

Anton touched his chin, shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I can't help you."

He didn't lie.

The information about the Ten Rings Gang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is very vague.

In the early world view of the entire movie universe, except for the name "Mandarin", the Ten Rings Gang did not reveal any important information. Even in Iron Man 3, the appearance of the arrested Manchurian was fake.

To say what he knows, Anton can only judge from his superficial understanding of the worldview of comics.

It's just an unknown.

"All right."

Seeing this, Coulson did not ask further: "If there is anything related, you can notify us at any time."

Anton nodded.

Immediately after, he saw Coulson walk into the venue, found Tony's assistant, Pepper Potts, and said something.

At the same time, the entire venue was in an uproar, and there was a burst of exclamations.

A group of reporters rushed to the podium like crazy and surrounded Tony Stark.

Apparently, Tony has spoken out about that important decision.

Shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division.

As an arms giant, closing the arms manufacturing department means that Stark Industries will withdraw from the arms industry they are proud of.

This is absolutely shocking news.

Betty stood in the venue and listened to all Tony Stark's remarks.

Suddenly recalled Anton's prophecy.

"...he's going to say some incredible things next."

Betty let out a breath and murmured, "This is really incredible."

Da da da!

Footsteps sounded in my ears again.

Looking back, it was Anton with a smile on his face. He was looking at Tony, who was still talking to himself on the podium, with a calm expression.

"Anton, you guessed it right!"

There was still a look of surprise on Betty's face: "You can't imagine what Tony Stark just said."

"Shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing department?" Anton asked with a smile.

"Did you hear that?"

Betty was stunned, and then said: "Do you know how terrifying this news is? A giant in the arms industry will withdraw, which will be a huge blow to Stark Industries. The board members of Stark Industries will never allow Tony S. Tucker made this decision, but Tony Stark is the soul of Stark Industries, and he said this to mean..."

Anton put his hands on his chest: "It means that Stark Industries will be in civil strife, and the outside world will look down on Stark Industries. Tomorrow, Stark Industries' valuation will drop by at least 40 points."

"That's right."

Betty nodded, suddenly admiring: "This guy is so courageous, I really don't know what he experienced in Afghanistan."

"It's his story, not ours."

Anton smiled and instructed: "Starting tomorrow, remember to pay attention to the stocks of Stark Industries, and help me buy as much as possible at the lowest point. Use all the resources I can mobilize to act, and buy as many as you can."

"what?"

Betty was taken aback: "You still dare to enter the market to buy the stocks of Stark Industries at this time? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"You said it yourself, the soul of Stark Industries is Stark." Anton said, "I call it confidence in Tony Stark."

"You are crazy!"

Betty's face was full of incomprehension.

In her opinion, this is undoubtedly a big gamble.

Judging from the amount of funds that Anton can mobilize, if the bet is lost, it will be a catastrophic loss.

"Betty, how incomprehensible you are now, the more you will admire me in the future."

Anton laughed.

During the conversation between the two, Tony Stark was taken away, and Obadi came to the stage to speak in place of Tony.

"The main purpose of today is to inform everyone that Tony is back, and he is in good health... Regarding everything he just said, we will have an internal meeting to discuss, and we will inform you of the final opinion in time!"

Obadiah Stein explained with a smile that was uglier than crying.

At this time, Tony had followed his assistant Pepper Potts, and the driver Happy Hogan, and got in the car when he got up and walked away.

Before Tony left, he saw Anton standing at the door.

He clearly recognized Anton, showing a bit of surprise.

But he didn't say anything, just looked at An Dong, nodded slightly, and said hello.

"This kid doesn't seem so arrogant anymore!"

At the end of the press conference, before Anton and Betty left, thinking of the look in Tony Stark's eyes when he left, he felt a little emotional.

Since Tony Stark left Afghanistan, he's no longer the simple, multi-titled playboy.

All these titles will be replaced by a nickname soon.

iron Man.

...

"Anton, what are you thinking?"

On the way back, Betty woke up Anton who was thinking, and said curiously, "You have been weird from the beginning."

"nothing."

Anton recovered and said lightly: "I just think today's press conference is very interesting."

Witnessing the birth of Iron Man is like witnessing history.

Really interesting.
