Marvel Little Genius

I finished the update last night, so I’m going to add another chapter.

——————

"Mr. Tony Stark, please listen to me attentively!"

Above the court of the Parliamentary Armed Services Committee, Representative Stern said loudly to Tony who turned around and looked at Pepper in the gallery.

"Well, dear Mr. Congressman."Tony turned around and returned perfunctorily.

"Do you have a special weapon? Stern asked bluntly.

In the auditorium, Mark, who was sitting on Pepper's left hand side, quietly approached Pepper and said,"Look, as I guessed, the Military Commission is jealous of Tony's steel suit. In other words, they are afraid and do not want to put this powerful power in the hands of an individual, especially when this person is a genius who is extremely wealthy.

But don’t worry, I warned Tony a long time ago and he should be fully prepared to deal with it."

"Um."Pepper nodded absently in response, but his attention was fully focused on the hearing, and it was obvious that he was not really relieved.

"No."Facing Stern's question, Tony directly denied it.

Stern asked:"No? Tony:"

That's right." It depends on your definition of a weapon. What do you think is a weapon?"

"Iron Man is the weapon."Stern pointed to the core of the problem.

"No, no, my invention is not a weapon."Tony insisted on his point of view.

"So what do you think it is?"Stern pressed to Tony.

"It is what it is, Mr. Congressman. It's a high-tech prosthetic, that's the best way I can think of describing it. As you know, Stark Industries has become the world's largest medical robot manufacturer after cooperating with the Mark Research Center.

Iron Man is just a medical product, but I personally think that its high price will affect its market performance, so this product is not put on the market. Are you satisfied with my explanation, Mr. Congressman?"

Tony's sophistry caused a burst of laughter in the gallery. Everyone was obviously amused by Tony's shamelessness and cleverness.

Seeing Tony's unwillingness to cooperate, Senator Stern was not ready to go around in circles with Tony anymore,"It's just a joke. A weapon, and for the sake of the well-being of the people across the country, you should give it to us!"

"Impossible, don’t even think about it! Iron Man is me, I am Iron Man, I have become one with the suit, handing over Iron Man means handing over myself, which is considered labor or [prostitution], which is illegal, so the answer is me can't give it to you"

"Listen I'm not an expert——"

"Of course you are not an expert on [selling] [prostitution], you are a senator."Tony directly interrupted Senator Stern's words and made a joke.

Tony's eloquent words once again made the audience laugh, and this time the laughter became obviously louder.

Senator Stern stretched out his hand and loosened his Tie, in order to vent his unhappiness, he decided to know his trump card,"I am not a [weapons] expert!"This time he said with added emphasis,"But we have invited a weapons expert, and I want to summon Justin Hammer - the current major arms dealer in the Department of Defense!"

"Congressman, with all due respect, I only saw Mr. Hammer walk in, but I didn't see any weapons experts. When it comes to knowledge and understanding of weapons, I think my son, who is about to turn fifteen, is more suitable for the title of weapons expert than Mr. Hammer."

Facing Tony's ridicule, Hammer did not show any stage fright. He picked up the microphone and stood up and said:"Yes, I am not a weapons expert, you are Tony, you are a genius. But Stark Industries, which started out as an arms business, its leader Tony Stark now forges a sharp sword, but insists that it is just a shield, and he wants us to believe him and hide behind him.

I really wish this could make me feel safe but it's a shame we live in a world full of dangers and there's no way Mr. Sterk can foresee every danger happening and be there to protect us, that's just me point of view, thank you all.

Stern:"Thank you, Mr. Hammer. Next, I will ask Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes to attend the hearing.""

"Rod! ?"Tony looked back in surprise. He didn't expect that Rhodes would appear at his hearing. The media reporters who were familiar with the relationship between Rhodes and Tony at the scene clicked the shutter frantically, hoping to capture the breakup between the brothers. The exciting scene will make the headlines tomorrow.

Stern:"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57"

"You want me to read out a specific passage? I thought I was here to give a complete report today, but the specific content did not clearly express my thoughts." Rhodes raised objections

"Please read it out!"Stern ordered forcefully.

"All right——"Rhodes reluctantly read,"[Iron Man is not affiliated with any government unit, and therefore poses a threat to national security and interests.] But I conclude that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages.……"

"enough. Next I want to play with your impact in the report. Because your words cannot vividly restore its image."Stern interrupted Rhodes' opportunity to continue speaking. He wanted a series of evidence of Iron Man's threat and pressed Tony step by step.

Rhodes had no choice but to nod in agreement. In the auditorium, they saw that things suddenly changed. , the situation was developing in a direction that was not conducive to Tony, and Pepper clenched his hands nervously.

"don’t worry."Mark on the side put his hand on Pepper's shoulder and comforted him:"I will help Dad, they don't want to succeed."

"Dabai——"Mark lit up the screen of the smart watch on his wrist and whispered,"When they are going to play the video later, put out what I have prepared."

On the watch screen, Electronic Dabai made a winking expression (≥─●), indicating that the command has been received.

At this time, the originally prepared broadcast picture on the hearing TV changed. The picture taken by the military satellite changed into an electronic expression of Dabai (●─●), and then an experimental scene of a giant steel robot appeared on the TV.

In the video, a huge robot marked with the words Hammer Industries frequently ran out of control, causing heavy casualties to on-site experimenters. There are more than one scene like this.

"Turn it off, turn it off!"Congressman Stern shouted nervously. Justin Hammer also rushed forward to block the video screen with his body and quickly cut off the power of the TV.

"Now the facts have proved that I alone can protect world peace. I will be the most powerful deterrent, but it will take you twenty years to cooperate with other clowns."

Tony's words won the audience in the auditorium to stand up and applaud. Pepper also showed a happy smile and gave a thumbs up to Mark next to him.

But what Tony didn't know was that far away in the wasteland of Siberia, someone was... Watching his every move at the hearing through live television, this man's eyes were full of cold murderous intent.
