Chapter 103 Tony's Hearing

Compared to the Internet where the pros and cons fought for three days.

In reality, the official media has a unified attitude and is full of complimentary words.

For example, Leon is watching the news on KNKV TV station in Los Angeles.

A month ago, this TV station said in a roundabout way that Superman was a dictator who would persecute people all over the world.

Now on the TV station, there is still the familiar female host, and she still has the familiar smile.

But that's what she said.

"The appearance of Superman was a shot in the arm. He eliminated the evil Hydra's plan to destroy the world and saved tens of millions of people. He is the light of human civilization!"

"There is no doubt that he will be the beacon of the new era and the closest friend of us Yingjiang people!"

"We have invited a well-known sociologist to conduct a more detailed analysis."

Then a professor with a "Francis" sign in front of him appeared.

He coughed slightly and started speaking.

The content starts from the kindness of Superman in the comics and extends to the reality where Superman faced the nuclear explosion alone three days ago.

Analysis says that this real-life Superman must have a pair of parents as kind as the Kents.

Finally came to the conclusion that Superman is absolutely just and kind.

Leon was amazed.

Same people, same scene.

How can these guys say something completely contrary to what they said a month ago with all seriousness?

Wouldn't you feel embarrassed if a boomerang hit you in the face?

Unexpectedly, the joke I made with Tony at that time actually became a reality.

Unless he really shows a kind and soft-hearted side later.

Otherwise, these media outlets will probably continue to hype him up, pushing him in the direction of perfection and love.

"Superman is the embodiment of justice?" Shirley walked into the living room and read the news headlines. She came home from school.

"Um...are you watching the news again?"

"A lot of news is saying this in the past few days, it's the same thing in school, and it's the same thing you see on the road."

She jogged a few steps and sat next to Leon.

"Although they all said good things, I always felt something was wrong..."

Shirley's little face wrinkled: "It's like... I want to put Brother Leon, um, into a very high position, and then prevent you from getting down."

"Hey, you're right." Leon rubbed Shirley's head in surprise.

"Although they said good things, they didn't mean well."

Even Shirley could detect that something was wrong, which shows how exaggerated the media reports these days have been.

Media around the world are trying to raise Superman's psychological expectations through flattery.

The purpose is to let him change his position.

Really consider yourself a good person.

It is best to think in advance whether stepping left foot first is in line with your new persona when you go out on weekdays.

If Superman is not strong enough, this is a kind of flattery.

But he can withstand nuclear bombs, so this is a different kind of moral kidnapping.

It's just that Leon feels that he doesn't accept this kind of morality, so he is not kidnapped.

But maybe Tony would like this feeling.

After all, Tony had called several times in the past three days, expressing his envy and hatred for Superman's popularity many times.

"I knew that was the case!"

Little Shirley was a little happy when she heard Leon's words of approval and felt that she had grown up a little bit more today.

But she was a little confused: "Then why do you still read these news every day?"

Of course, Leon couldn't say that he was watching it for fun.

He coughed lightly: "Actually, I didn't watch the news. I was just waiting for your Uncle Tony's live broadcast. Well, it has already started. Let's watch it together."

Tony is attending a Senate hearing today on the illegal possession of armor by private individuals.

Leon knew that the hearing could not have a bad outcome in the end, so he didn't pay much attention.

After all, it is on the Hydra list published by the "Rising Tide Organization".

Many people in the Senate are on the list, and the evidence is solid.

The senior executives were too busy catching the traitor and stabilizing the situation, so how could they bother to cause trouble for Tony.

In addition, Tony Iron Man's name is now known all over the world.

This hearing was just a formality to give Tony the status of legally manufacturing armor.

Leon waved his hand and switched the projection to the channel for the live broadcast of the hearing.

In the picture, the rostrum and the auditorium are full of people.

"Mr. Tony Stark, what do you want to say about the accusation that you illegally possess weapons and armor?"

The MP just asked the key question.

Tony held his forehead: "Weapon? Is that a weapon? How can you think so."

"Actually, it's just a high-tech prosthesis that I developed."

"You all know I was left half disabled during the attack in Afghanistan."

"So, I need prosthetics to assist with daily activities. This is normal, right? I don't think there is any problem."

There was a burst of laughter.

Tony wore a short-sleeved wool sweater today, and the slim-fitting shirt outlined the toned outline of his chest muscles.

Even if he says that he is a contestant in this year's National Bodybuilding Competition, some people will believe him.

In the end, he actually said that he was a disabled person. How could this not make people laugh?

The congressman couldn't help but laugh. He didn't delve into it and switched to the really important issue.

“Nick Fury, former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before being imprisoned, he strongly requested to suspend the disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And proposed that you take over and reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D.

What do you think about this?

Did he recommend you because of a secret deal or because you have an armor? "

Tony was silent for a moment: "I don't know, maybe it's because my father was one of the founders of SHIELD, so he recommended me."

"But I want to emphasize again that what you call armor is really just a high-tech prosthesis to assist me in my movements."

The congressman frowned, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

He wanted to ask more, but the person next to him coughed and reminded him, so he could only continue to ask the next question.

"There is an organization calling themselves Men in Black in the world. They have used the same armor as you many times in public. What do you have to say about this? Can we suspect that the Stark Group is still sending terrorists to terrorists? Selling weapons?”

"Absurd, this is too ridiculous." Tony sneered.

"As far as I know, the Men in Black organization is affiliated with Superman."

"Everyone knows I crossed paths with Superman in Sokovia."

"Since you said the man in black used the same armor as me, then maybe Superman stole my technology."

"As a member of the state's taxpayers, can I ask you now to help track down the copyright issue with Superman?"

"And if you think the men in black are a terrorist organization, you can also order him to disband them."

After Tony finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, turned back and winked at Pepper in the auditorium.

The scene was completely silent.

Even the occasional whisperers fell silent.

Even several senators on the stage showed panic visible to the naked eye.

They just heard something.

The Man in Black is Superman's subordinate?

Even if some people have suspected this issue before, it has never been confirmed, and no one dared to confirm it.

But now that Iron Man has made it clear and conclusive, he wants the country to help question Superman?

The congressman who had just asked the question saw his eyes darken when he heard this, and he felt like the world was spinning.

Aren't you just asking a few questions about the armor?

How can this matter involve Superman?

It's better now.

He suspected that in order not to offend Superman, he would be forced to commit suicide by being shot in the back later.

There is no doubt that many military lunatics who are well aware of the terror of Superman would actually do this!

"We don't have this idea!" he explained immediately.

"Please, please understand that the question just now is just a normal process, and we have never doubted your position."

The congressman picked up the hammer on the table with trembling hands and struck it.

"It's over! The hearing is over now, it's over! Okay, okay, stop the live broadcast!"

The live broadcast screen was cut off, and advertisements began to play on the projection.

Leon and Shirley looked at each other.

"Just now...did Uncle Tony expose your relationship with your sisters?" Shirley blinked her eyes.

Leon tilted his head and thought for a while.

Although he had agreed to Tony's leak in advance.

But he still warned Shirley: "Now you know how much your Uncle Tony can't keep his mouth shut."

"His mouth is like a public bus."

"If you get a message, you can go in at one stop and get off at the next stop."

"Don't expect him to keep it a secret."

"Remember never to believe his foul mouth in the future!"

Shirley made a zipper gesture with her hands in front of her mouth: "I understand! The secret must not be told to Uncle Tony!"
