Kai looked at Killian coldly, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Leave Pepper to me, you can go.
Will Kai let this guy go?
Of course not!
Just a stopgap measure.
Killian is not stupid either.

"Of course, of course!" Killian uses himself to save others. If he were Kai, would he let him go easily? Of course it's impossible! So: "But Miss Potts needs to stay with me for a while. Once I am safe, I will naturally let Miss Potts go."
"Haha." Kai was unmoved: "You should know that I am not Tony. Right?"
Killian stopped smiling and asked seriously: "What do you mean?"
This is what Killian fears most. Naturally, it was impossible for him to deal with Tony without conducting detailed investigations. He knew that Tony Stark and Pepper Potts loved each other very much, and Pepper was also the person Tony cared about most. It was also based on this that he kidnapped Pepper and planned to use her to threaten Tony Stark.
But the problem is that it's not Tony who's here now, and Pepper's value immediately dropped by more than half! The reason why he can still threaten Kai now is because Kai is a good friend of Tony! Kai couldn't watch his friend's girlfriend die, so he could continue to threaten Kai. But the effect of this threat is naturally impossible to compare with the effect of threatening Tony.
"You want to watch Tony Stark's woman die in front of you?"
"I don't want to." Kai didn't panic. He really didn't have any good solutions at the moment, but the problem was that neither did Killian on the opposite side! Does he really dare to take action against Pepper? Lend him some courage! This is his last trump card! Once this piece is gone, his fate will only be worse. So Kai didn't panic at all. This grandson cared more about Pepper's life and death than he did. After all, Pepper is equivalent to his life, and it's like this, Kai is so panicked!
"Then just do as I say!" Killian felt bad, he had lost the initiative! According to his assumptions, he should have the upper hand at this moment, ridicule and humiliate Kai wantonly, and then leave here in a big way. As for letting Pepper go?
ha?
How could such a useful chess piece be let go so easily. He has come up with countless plans to use Pepper to threaten Tony.
But looking at Kai's appearance, things were stuck at the beginning.
"I told you, I'm not Tony!"
Kai still said coldly: "Put down Pepper, you can go. I have so many demands, don't even think of asking for them."
And Killian knows that at this time, he must not give in. Once he gives in, there will be nothing left.
He grabbed Pepper by the neck and lifted her up!
"Let me go! I will naturally let this woman go after I leave! Otherwise..."
Kai didn't say anything and just took out the ax!
If you kill Pepper, I will kill you!
This is a game, either you and Pepper will die together! Either you let Pepper go and bet Kai will keep his promise.
The key point of this game is whether Kilian is really willing to risk it. To put it another way, Ye Yan was betting his life on Pepper's status in Kai's mind.
At this time, Kai naturally needs to play a game. He needs to be cold, but he can't give Killian the feeling that he doesn't care about Pepper at all. Otherwise, the opponent will be completely defeated, and it will be completely ruined.
Of course Kai couldn't let anything happen to Pepper.
Tony's problems aside, Pepper was his good friend!
But the more this happens, the less Kai can show any weakness!
Are you going to kill Pepper?
OK! If you dare to take action, I will hack you to death in the next second!
Bet your life!
The difference is that Killian is gambling with his own life!
Is he so courageous?
Obviously not!
So he quickly analyzed the current situation and wanted to find a way for himself to escape and ascend to heaven.
Without Pepper's trump card, it meant that he had to bear the risk of Kai chasing him at any time.
But if the fish dies and the net breaks... you can see it from the battle just now... even if the fish dies, the net will not break!
Thinking of this... Killian felt a headache.
Can……
Finally, Killian gritted his teeth and let go of Pepper: "Okay! But you have to keep your promise!"
Kai said nothing, but looked at Killian.
Meaning, give me people!
"I'm not afraid to tell you that if there is no stabilizer, Pepper may explode at any time! If you break your promise, then just wait for her to become a bomb!"
This is Killian's last chance.
Why didn't Killian threaten Kai with this before?
Because this thing...it's not safe!
Although the main credit for the Extremis Project being able to progress to this stage lies with him and Maya, both of them know that without the formula that Tony gave Maya, the Extremis Project would not be able to advance to the point where it is now!
In other words, in today's world, Tony is the third scientist who can crack the Extremis virus!
Killian wasn't sure if Tony could cure Pepper of the Extremis virus after he let him go. Of course he didn't want to let Pepper go, otherwise, wouldn't he kidnap her for nothing? But now, I can’t control that much anymore.
It's important to escape!
"Give me the stabilizer, you can get out!" Kai knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it didn't matter. As long as Pepper didn't have any problems the first time, there would be no problems later.
Maya and Tony are both on their side, so it shouldn't be difficult to solve Pepper's trouble.
Killian gritted his teeth and looked at Kai.
But Kai didn't indulge him, and looked at him with a sneer.
In the end, Killian couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to the people behind him.
Any stabilizer fell into Kai's hands.
Kai saved Pepper and turned to rescue her.
Killian breathed a sigh of relief.
...
On the yacht, Rod was talking to the Ministry of Defense, and Benjamin was talking to the White House.
Everyone was busy, and it was impossible for the champagne beauty to mess around like this. Especially Benjamin, once the news of his kidnapping leaked, the chain reaction would be too big.
"What Derek was attacked?" Benjamin shouted in shock.
Rod was startled.
Derek Rafson is not some nobody, he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and unlike the Vice President, the Speaker of the Senate, this one is a Republican boss. The leader of the establishment. It's no small matter that he was attacked.
But Rhodes immediately put the matter aside.
Speaker of the House?
The president was just kidnapped!
Small problem, small problem.
"What's going on?" Benjamin forced himself to calm down.
He suspected that some evil organization had targeted the United States! Otherwise, there was no way to explain why he was attacked in such a short period of time, and then the Speaker of the House was also attacked. This was specifically targeting the top leaders of the US government!
As a result, when Benjamin asked, it turned out that since he was kidnapped. Someone immediately suggested to activate the presidential power succession law and let the vice president serve as the interim vice president.
The reason is also very simple.
Gu Peng
The president was kidnapped.
Is it possible to let the US government compromise because of the president?
Don't be funny, this is impossible. No major country in the world can compromise with terrorists. Even if the president is kidnapped.
There is no way, the president is just one person. According to the Constitution, anyone can be the president. One every four years, nothing strange.
So in order to avoid some unnecessary things.
It is a normal procedure for the vice president to be sworn in as the interim president on the spot.
Although Benjamin was very uncomfortable with this. According to the time, the vice president was about to take the oath less than half an hour after he was kidnapped. Well, the speaker of the House of Representatives was attacked on his way to preside over the oath of the interim president.
But fortunately, the injury was not serious, and the secret service personnel around him were seriously injured and killed.
Now the speaker is receiving treatment in the hospital.
"Well, very good. How is the vice president? Has he been attacked?" As a power creature, the president obviously felt that there was something wrong.
Normal procedures are normal procedures.
But according to the efficiency of American bureaucrats, they can actually decide to give up their own presidency and let the vice president take office in just over ten minutes... Isn't it a bit too eager. Is he, a tested president, so worried? At the beginning, he was a super tough president who did not surrender even when a group of terrorists pointed guns at his head!
Why are these people so impatient now?
Is his power base so weak?
It shouldn't be.
He is one of the most powerful presidents in American history.
Of course, this is all bullshit. The real reason is... As a power creature, he feels threatened!
The threat of power being seized!
This is unbearable!
So the Vice President... is likely to be in trouble.
"Uh... no..." The person on the other end of the phone was Benjamin's most trusted agent, a senior agent of the Secret Service, and also the president's personal bodyguard. Mike Banning
When the Iron Patriot kidnapped the president, Air Force One was blown out with a big hole and then crashed... But even so, Benny didn't die... It's simply amazing! Generally speaking, the probability of surviving an air crash of this level is infinitely close to zero!
But Benny relied on life-saving equipment and parachuted from the plane to survive.
And he returned to Washington very quickly.
Just ask if you are awesome. (When London fell, the plane was shot down from the sky, but nothing happened... He also killed terrorists alone in a city controlled by terrorists. Yan Shuangying is not as awesome as him!)
Don't worry, this is not the most awesome thing.
Benny found the suspect as soon as he returned to Washington.
The location of Air Force One is extremely confidential, and generally speaking, it is difficult to be captured.
Benny is familiar with all aspects of presidential security, and he quickly discovered the difference from a detail.
According to security rules, once the president's safety is threatened, all communications must be completed through encrypted channels to prevent someone from finding the president's location based on signal positioning. So after boarding Air Force One, the president's communications must be communicated through the communication equipment on Air Force One.
This is safer.
But on Air Force One, the president still received a private call.
It was not through the communicator on Air Force One, but the president's private phone.
Very few people know about this phone call, and only people who are very close to the president can know it.
But after boarding Air Force One, even if the president's friends and family want to contact the president, they all communicate through encrypted communications.
The only exception is that private phone call.
Guess who made this private call?
The vice president!
"The Vice President...it's okay. But..." Benny stammered and reported his speculation after the investigation to Benjamin.
Benjamin said calmly: "Well, you did a good job, Mike. Give the phone to Lin."
Lin refers to Lin Jobs, the director of the US Secret Service. She is also the first female black director of the US Secret Service. She was promoted after Benjamin came to power, and she is definitely the most direct of the direct.
"Did Mike tell you his speculation?" Benjamin asked very directly.
"Mike?" Lin Jobs was particularly surprised.
Obviously she didn't know.
"Then let Benny tell you. You go check it yourself! And immediately monitor the Vice President!"
Benjamin ordered very decisively!
In fact, even if this incident didn't happen, the Vice President, who was too lazy to even mention his name, would not have an easy life! Damn, I planned to seize power before I died!
Now I have a reason... Hehe. Even if there is nothing wrong, I can make trouble for you.
"Understood!"
It is extremely difficult for a black woman to make achievements in politics. Lynn Jobs was able to take office thanks to Benjamin's racial equality policy. It can be said that her political future is highly tied to Benjamin. If Benjamin is finished, she is probably finished too. So when faced with Benjamin's order, she did not hesitate.
This is also the reason why Lynn was able to take office. Only the superiors are responsible!
The things given by the superiors will never be discounted.
Otherwise, why would Benjamin support her?
The hot girl and the old man next to him were stunned.
Benjamin did not hide his voice.
The vice president... is being monitored?
Isn't it a bit too frivolous?
How could they understand the dangers of political struggle.
At this moment, a thunderbolt landed.
Kay appeared with Pepper in his arms.
"What happened to Pepper?!" Rod immediately stepped forward to show concern.
Rod didn't know about Pepper.
"She was kidnapped..." Kai simply told the story.
"She is now..." Benjamin instinctively took a few steps back. He had seen the power of the explosion of those desperate warriors with his own eyes. If it was really as Killian said...then their current situation could not be called safe.
"Look at your lack of ability!" Kai complained unhappily.
Benjamin did not feel ashamed: "Come on, I just escaped from the explosion. Isn't it normal to be afraid?"
To be honest, although Benjamin is a political creature, his psychological quality is really great. As an ordinary person without any superpowers, he has experienced so many things, but he has no psychological problems at all... He can still joke now, which is also an anomaly.
His rich experience is definitely like the ruler of the world.
He has narrowly escaped death many times.
Not joking, but really narrowly escaped death. If there is a slight mistake, he may really be crushed to pieces!
"It's okay, at least it's okay for now. If we really want to solve the problem, we still need Tony to solve it."
Rhodes is more concerned about another problem.
"Where is my Iron Patriot? And Killian, are you really going to let him go like this?"
