Chapter 421: Tony's Commission (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote)

"Why do we have to attend this boring press conference?" Kelly complained, holding Kai's arm with a grimace on his face.

Kai watched attentively as the speakers on the stage introduced their new products in a Steve Jobs manner. Although he actually understood every word, those technical terms were so professional that they were like a heavenly book. Kai understood every word, but when they were put together, he had no idea what they were.

But he still has to pretend to understand...

There is no way, no man can save face. In fact, when he received Stark's invitation, he never thought it would be such a press conference. A fancy young man invited people to watch a launch of a new weapon... This kind of operation is probably only done by Tony.

"How's it going? Even if you are a genius like me, you have to admire Dr. Bruce Banner's genius idea of ​​actually using rays as a weapon." Tony was very excited on the side and didn't care about Kelly's painful look at all. He was as excited as a high school student walking into an adult theater for the first time. If it hadn't been for the wrong occasion, Kai highly doubted he would have whistled.

"How can someone as stinky as you actually admire someone?" Kai didn't understand what was being said on stage at all. When he heard it now, he only knew that the idiot above was introducing a powerful product to Steve Jobs. A huge weapon can destroy the enemy's strength in an instant without causing too much harm to the environment. It can even kill all the people in a city without damaging the entire city at all.

It sounds interesting, but when you think about it carefully, it's also terrifying. It is estimated that only Americans can promote a murderous weapon in such a grand way.

So Kai could only find something to say, and the Tony in front of him did not match his usual personality. Anyone who spends more than half an hour with him can easily conclude that Tony is a nuisance, and his ego and arrogance are enough to drive any normal person crazy.

This is why Kai doesn't like to get along with him very much. After all, Kai is also an arrogant person. Although he is not as arrogant as Tony, he will not force himself to pretend that he can tolerate this guy.

"No, no, no, you are wrong. I don't admire him as a person, but as an idea. I can tell you with certainty that among all Dr. Banner's research, this is the only one that interests me. As for the others ...just so-so.”

Tony said very stinkingly.

His expression reminded Kai of an old friend of his, the Hero King Gilgamesh. But the difference is that Gilgamesh is just more annoying. After all, no matter how bad Tony is, he is still within the realm of mortals. Gilgamesh's temper... let's not talk about it.

"Then why did you bring me here..." Kai was not interested in continuing this topic, especially what he said, Kai didn't understand. →So let’s get to the point quickly. "I don't think you really just want me to see this bullshit new weapons launch, do you?"

"Vulgar!" Tony suddenly felt that Kai was too vulgar and could not even appreciate such a genius idea.

Kai shrugged, not caring about Tony's barking.

"That's right...I just want to ask...are you...interested in developing in Los Angeles?" But Tony soon asked a little shyly.

"Los Angeles?" Kai was confused. He didn't think his relationship with Tony was good enough that he would care about his career plan. "What's the meaning?"

"I just wanted to say, would you be interested in being employed by me?"

"Not interested!" Kai said decisively. He had no interest in playing games with a playboy.

Tony may have rarely been rejected so happily, so he was a little stunned, but he immediately said: "Don't reject it so quickly, the treatment I give you is very good."

Kai looked at Tony very coldly.

"Do you think I'm short of money?"

Tony curled his lips, he really knew that this little policeman was not short of money at all. But this is not a problem. In Tony's opinion, Kai may not be short of money, but he is definitely not as rich as him.

"Don't ask me, what do I want you to do?"

"Not interested!"

"You won't have friends if you chat like this!" Tony was very angry, thinking that Kai was rejecting his kindness.

As a result, Kaidu laughed angrily at these words.

"Please, Mr. Stark. Anyone can say this, but when it comes out of your mouth, it's a bit dark humor. I can ask you, apart from those who are interested in your money, do you really have any Friends?"

This made Tony feel a little angry. Because Kai was telling the truth. When Tony was sixteen, his parents died in a car accident. From then on, he became an orphan from a wealthy family. He is very smart, very smart. The kind of inhumanity he shows does not mean that he really does not understand, but that he is too lazy to care, because he knows very well that 99% of the people around him People are rich because they are rich.

Because of this, he understood from that time that no matter what he did, others would tolerate it because he was rich!

As for friends...he really doesn't have any.

Tony wanted to tell Kai that he didn't need friends. But he immediately realized that Kai was not the kind of person who would accommodate him just because he was rich. He could 100% guarantee that if he dared to say so, what awaited him would definitely be cynicism. →

Well, maybe he wasn't sarcastic, because based on his general understanding of Kai's character from these few contacts, Kai was not the kind of person who liked to show off with his words. It is estimated that at most, he will only give himself a look of contempt, and then let himself slowly experience it.

So Tony could only sulk to himself. He never asks for help.

Well, in his opinion, the request just now was just asking for help...

After about ten minutes, Kai finally got impatient. After talking about it for a long time, I still gained nothing. I just listened to it, and I might as well go see some singing and dancing!

"Well... I want you to help me investigate a case." Tony said suddenly.

Tony said this with great determination.

"Case?" Kai looked at Tony suspiciously. With Tony's financial resources and influence, what kind of case cannot be uncovered? Why are you looking for him? Kai never thought that he was very good at investigating cases. It could even be said that there were many people who were better than him in this aspect.

"A very personal case."

Tony emphasized.

"You have an illegitimate child coming to your door? Do you want me to investigate if it's true?" In Kai's impression, it seemed that this guy only had this kind of thing to investigate.

"What? Shet! Why do you think so? I am very careful and take safety measures every time." Tony said angrily as if he was insulted. As a result, the people around him looked over, and Tony immediately Stop what you said and ask Kai to follow you.

…

"Is it necessary to be so mysterious?" Tony took Kay to the private lounge at the venue. Even Kelly was not allowed to bring her in. Instead, she was asked to wait outside. Looking at Tony's attitude, it seemed that she was not. Because of bad things like having an illegitimate child. After all, Kai is also Pepper's friend. If Kai is asked to investigate this matter, isn't that equivalent to telling Pepper? Pepper was already very dissatisfied with Tony's personal life. If she knew about this kind of thing, she wouldn't say anything. The little ambiguity between them would be overturned at the drop of a hat.

"I want you to help me investigate the death of my parents."

Tony didn't beat around the bush this time and stated his purpose straightforwardly. Although Tony's move seemed very abrupt, Tony actually thought about it for a long time before approaching Kai. Tony first noticed Kai when Pepper was involved in the serial murder case. Afterwards, Tony collected information about Kai through various channels, and he really discovered a lot of things.

Although the confidentiality level of the military's secret information is very high, it still attracts attention. As one of the largest weapons suppliers to the US military, Stark Group's background in the military is definitely solid enough. Although he cannot get all of Kai's information, compared to Cooper and others, he definitely knows much more.

Kai's record since he became a policeman, as well as his military service experience, are enough to prove that Kai is absolutely capable.

After that, it was Kai's attitude towards him. Of course, Tony is not the kind of hero in an idol drama who falls in love with a woman who is not hypocritical about him. The reason why he considers Kai's attitude towards him is because since Kai will not be easily bribed by Tony himself, it means that Kai will not be easily bribed by others.

This is important!

"The death of your parents?" Of course Kai knew about the death of Tony's parents. After all, this was an important background in Tony's legendary career. Tony's parents were both killed in a car accident when he was sixteen. This also led to Tony becoming the most famous wealthy orphan in the world. "I remember there was a car accident. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Out of a policeman's instinct, he would naturally be interested in this kind of thing. However, Kai felt that there was unlikely to be a problem. After all, the popularity of this car accident was no less than that of Princess Diana's car accident. Howard Stark was also the most famous scientist and capitalist in the United States at the time, and his death had a much greater impact than the death of Princess Diana.

After all, Princess Diana's car accident was just a national gossip, but the interests behind Howard Stark were not comparable to that of a short-term princess. At that time, the investigation of the car accident would definitely be extremely detailed, and it was unlikely that there would be any doubts.

"I don't know...I don't know to be honest. But I don't believe they were involved in a car accident. They told me my parents were in a car accident as two people traveling in a car."

Kai understood what Tony meant.

Who is Howard Stark? Super rich! Even if he and his wife don't bring a whole fleet of vehicles when traveling, it's impossible for them to just drive out for a drive, right? Come on, they were all in their sixties at that time, and romance wasn't such a romantic idea.

And Tony can say with certainty that his father is definitely not a romantic person.

"Also, they were on a very, very remote road when the accident occurred. I don't know why they went there, and no one investigating could tell me."

Tony is actually a very sensitive person. He has always been worried about the fact that the last time he and his parents were in a quarrel. He felt...that he shouldn't treat them like that. Their final goodbye wasn't supposed to be like that. So Tony was always concerned about their deaths.

Kai nodded subconsciously when he heard this. He recognized these doubts. But to be honest, these doubts are not enough to overturn the conclusion given by the original investigation team. After all, human behavior is sometimes uncontrollable. Maybe it was Howard Stark who wanted to have a romantic relationship with his wife on a whim and stopped to have sex in the wild? You should be strong when you are old. "These don't explain anything."

Tony did not refute, but nodded and said: "I admit that these are not the key to the problem. What really makes me doubt is that I once asked the person I trusted most to check the car accident. He found something, but he could not find out any more."

The person Tony said he trusted most was his butler Edwin Jarvis. Edwin Jarvis served in the British Air Force during World War II and became a champion boxer for three consecutive years. Later, he immigrated to the United States, where he became a butler for Howard Stark and Maria Stark (Tony's mother), and was also responsible for taking care of the mansion. Later, he became the butler of the Stark family. It can be said that he watched Tony grow up.

After the death of Howard and his wife, Edwin Jarvis also became Tony's guardian. It was he who accompanied Tony through the most difficult period. So he trusted Jarvis very much, even relying on him.

Tony had asked many detectives to help him investigate the truth of the car accident, but he found nothing. Finally, he asked his butler to investigate in person, but he only found out that the reason why Tony's parents drove there alone that day was because of a very, very important matter, which was related to an extremely confidential research result. As for what that matter was, what their purpose was, and even where they were going, they didn't know anything.

After that, Jarvis left the Stark family and retired. Not long after, the loyal old butler died in his apartment.

Tony even suspected that Jarvis was silenced, but in the end he found that it was not the case. Jarvis really died of illness. When he left the Stark family, he was already in the late stage of brain cancer.

This made Tony even more difficult to let go.

"You asked me to investigate a case that has been in the past for 20 years... and it's not a case in my jurisdiction?"

"That's why I hope you go to Los Angeles. The place where the car accident happened that year was near Los Angeles." Tony immediately said: "If you don't want to work for me and still want to be a policeman, I can arrange a transfer."

Kai shook his head.

"That's not necessary. After all, this case has been going on for so many years. It doesn't matter where you look. You just need to give me the detailed case files."

"So you agree?"

Tony was very happy.

"I only promise you that I will check it out. As for whether I can find anything, don't hold too high hopes." Kai didn't think that if it was really a conspiracy, he would be able to find anything after so many years. So he thought it was just a piece of cake, so it was nothing.
