Chapter 1087: Hidden Secrets, Power Struggle

For Tony, the final result was barely a satisfactory answer. Because he has nothing to lose in the end. Although it wasn't in the way he wanted, but being able to get such an ending was already enough to satisfy him.

Behind a man, there is always something to support him. No matter how great the ideal is and how prosperous the career is, if there is no such thing, then it is really too sad. Almost, Tony became such a tragedy. Fortunately, it was so short.

This kind of luck made Tony get out of the previous shadow very quickly, and this was reflected in the fact that he became capable and rational again.

Completely different from the gloomy and tyrannical appearance before, everyone in the White House who saw him couldn't help being surprised by such a change. So soon, all kinds of gossip spread.

"I heard that His Excellency the President had a quarrel with his wife, and I feel much better now!"

"What nonsense, it's obvious that the president's wife has figured it out, and she won't make it difficult for the president. They are still young anyway, so it's not impossible to have another one."

"It's just nonsense. It is obvious that His Excellency the President has found a way to rescue Madam. The security guards on Madam's side have secretly told me. Now Madam is stroking her stomach with a smile on her face. This must be a cure. It worked."

There has never been an impenetrable wall in the world, let alone in the White House, a place that is closely supervised. It can be said that when these people were gossiping, Maria Hill had already heard the gossip and gossip between them. In order to find out the truth of the matter, she immediately came to Tony's office.

"I heard that your matter has been resolved. Is there no problem now?"

As soon as the office door was pushed open, Maria Hill said to Tony who was sitting on the chair. When she saw Tony's clean and tidy appearance now, she already believed this statement seven or eight percent. And the rest of the uncertainties were completely dispelled in Tony's own explanation.

"It's all right now. Thank you for your concern and help during this time! By the way, has anything special happened recently?"

Tony was acting perfectly normal. And his attitude of asking about business affairs as soon as he opened his mouth also made Maria Hill realize that he has indeed returned to his state now. This made her breathe a sigh of relief, and then said curtly to him immediately.

"You have two things to focus on right now."

"One is the media.

You never showed up in the previous press statement, which caused many media people to stir up topics about you and Maria. After all, many people have seen the previous attacks, and it is difficult to change the views of these people with our official speeches alone. So if you can, you'd better bring Maria to the press conference, so that you can not only beat the messy media, but also stabilize the current people's hearts. "

"You can arrange this matter. In the next few days, I will bring Maria to attend on time." With a wave of his hand, Tony came up with a corresponding solution to this problem, and then he continued to ask. "You said there is one more thing that needs to be resolved, what is it?"

"About Phillips!"

As soon as Maria Hill mentioned this name, Tony's face immediately became gloomy. He couldn't help tapping his fingers, and became more and more out of breath. Obviously, for the murderer who almost killed Maria and his future child, he did not choose to forgive him simply because of his suicide. On the contrary, he can definitely be said to hold a grudge against him. So, after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and asked Maria Hill in a tone that was clearly suppressing something.

"Is it related to him? Is there anything related to him?"

"Two aspects. On the one hand, our people have been tracking down who killed his family and forced him to such an unscrupulous situation. Because all the victims are gone, and there are no witnesses The existence of the perpetrator. So the progress of the investigation has been relatively slow. However, we still have a few clues in our hands."

Having said that, Maria Hill placed two documents in front of Tony.

"This is a surveillance photo from last year. Norman Osborn booked an entire restaurant to entertain Phillips. They seemed to be talking about something, but the end result was that they broke up. I thought it was them The negotiations between the parties broke down, and then investigated the various accounts of Phillips himself and his family members, including several overseas accounts, and there was no flow of any large funds.”

"Then I investigated the internal files of the FBI and found such a problem. Probably since before you let Norman Osborn leave, Phillips has been secretly ordering FBI agents to monitor the Osborn Group Every move. From the looks of it, he seems to have discovered some ulterior secret from Osborn."

While presenting evidence, he talked about his own speculation. Maria Hill's very clear explanation made Tony couldn't help frowning immediately.

As far as he is concerned, of course he hopes that all the problems can be traced to Phillips. But Phillips's very straightforward suicide directly let all Tony's thoughts fall into emptiness. Not to mention asking Phillips himself to settle this issue, even if he wanted to implicate his family, it would be a fundamentally impossible thing.

This made Tony want to take revenge on this matter, so he could only seek revenge from those who harmed the Phillips family. After all, if these people were not implicated innocently, so many things would not have been caused. And the evidence that Maria Hill presented now almost pointed the finger at Norman Osborn. This made it a little difficult for Tony.

The Osborne Group is the top group in this country after all. Although it can't compare with behemoths like Morgan and GM, it is already a giant company that can cause small-scale shocks in the entire United States. It can be said that once it is activated, hundreds of thousands of unemployed people will come out immediately. And this is definitely a big blow to the United States now. Therefore, without sufficient evidence, Tony really did not dare to act rashly against him.

"Do you have complete evidence to prove that Norman Osborn was related to the murder of Phillips?"

Tony hoped to hear an affirmative answer from Maria Hill. Because if there is sufficient evidence to prove that Norman Osborn is related to all this, then capital and enterprises can be bypassed and the arrest of Norman Osborn himself can be directly carried out. That is the approach that can simplify the problem the most, and it is also the approach that is most likely to succeed. However, Maria Hill's answer disappointed Tony.

"Sorry, we don't have sufficient evidence in our hands. Norman Osborn is not a fledgling novice, he is an old fox himself, and he has a certain understanding of our operations and actions after working in the Skyhammer Bureau. He will not leave any obvious evidence for us. Therefore, the only thing I can be sure of now is that there must be something special inside the Osborn Group, and this is Norman Osborn and Philip The root of the dispute in Sri Lanka."

"You want to start from here?" Tony raised his eyebrows, and said a little strangely. "That should be a commercial secret within the Osborn Group, and it is not something that everyone can get. And as far as I know, the best spy we have has resigned now, and the rest of the people There is no one who can provoke the leader. Where are you going to find someone to sneak into the Osborne Group and steal the evidence you want?"

On this issue, Tony is very pertinent. Because now, it is indeed the time when the spies in their hands are in short supply. The two replacements of S.H.I.E.L.D. not only lost national strength, but also put spies, a special branch, in a very embarrassing situation. They were either cleaned or touched away by Hydra men. There are really not many elites left who can do it. And among these few people, who is Osborne not familiar with? Don't forget, he used to be the deacon of Skyhammer Bureau. How could he not know the elite of his subordinates for consecutive terms.

Maria Hill obviously thought about this problem, and she also came up with her own solution to this problem.

"About the S.H.I.E.L.D. period, what do you know about Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. agents?"

The name was so unfamiliar that it almost sounded like it was describing a large group of people. So Tony immediately shook his head and replied.

"I don't know, does such a group of people exist?"

"Coulson originally set up a special team to deal with sudden mutants and superheroes in society. The members in it are basically specially drawn elites. Because of your actions, they were also implicated in the This made it impossible for Osborne to know them. Therefore, as long as Coulson comes forward, we can still get a few decent agents."

Facing Maria Hill's explanation, Tony waved his hand directly.

"This matter is entrusted to you. You go to communicate with Coulson. You are also responsible for the deployment of personnel and resources. I only need the final answer. Do you have any questions? If there are no questions, let's talk about the next thing!"

"Of course!" Nodding, Maria Hill, who was used to Tony's efficient work, nodded, and immediately jumped to the next thing. "There is something that needs your attention. Someone is confusing public opinion."

"Some people took aim at Phillips' crazy behavior and regarded his actions as being manipulated. Coupled with what that bastard Smith Zhou did on the TV show before. Some people have already begun to protest, to strengthen the control of these people Surveillance by guys with superpowers. They pointed the finger at us, thinking that we were indulging this kind of thing. And their ultimate goal is..."

"They want restoration, and they can't wait to get their rights back!"

Grinning his mouth, revealing his cold teeth, Tony's expression immediately turned ferocious.
