Chapter 123 Opening
Tony, who left in a very flamboyant way, didn't think about how Pepper and Humphrey felt. He flew towards Washington DC full of joy.
Humphrey covered his chest and pointed at Tony who was going away, his fingers kept trembling, his eyes were as big as a bull's eye, and he yelled at Little Pepper: "This is what you said that people are not feeling well, drinking too much and resting? I saw that when he passed by me just now, he was very energetic, do you know who I am, I am the assistant to Mr. Bill in the President's cabinet, and I came to negotiate with Stark on his behalf."
Little Pepper frowned and bent his head, trying to avoid the saliva coming from the shop. He peeked at Hengfuli in front of him from the corner of his eyes, thinking about how to find a reason for Tony to come back. He wiped the saliva accidentally sprayed on his face with his hand, squeezed out a smile and said, "Sir, don't be angry, Tony was just joking with you, and you know he always loves to play, I promise to wait for him to come back, I will personally let him find a chance to see Mr. Bill, and you see how it goes."
"Hmph, Your Excellency Bill doesn't dare to be an old Stark boss. I'll go back and tell him what happened here, and your Stark Industries will just wait to close down, hmph."
After Humphry finished speaking, without waiting for Pepper to stay, he directly clutched his chest and got into the private car waiting for him by the side of the road without looking back, and drove the car towards the center of New York, leaving Pepper alone He sighed in place.
Far away in the Empire State Building in New York, which is the building where Tony will hold the auction, in the room on the east side of the top floor, a middle-aged man in his 40s is sitting on an armchair smoking a cigar and meditating , he has a hooked nose, a big backed head, and a pair of cold yet majestic eyes.
When the cigar in his hand was about to burn out, there was a knock on the door in the corridor outside. Hearing two knocks on the door, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up from his chair, walked quickly to the door, and put the original Passing the cigar in his right hand to his lips, he unscrewed the door with his free hand.
The person behind the door was none other than Henfuli who went to visit Tony and was rejected by the door. However, there was no anger on his face at this time, but he had a flattering smile on his face. The CD in his hand was passed in front of the middle-aged man and he said: "Your Excellency, this is what Mr. Stark stuffed into my coat pocket when he passed by me. Please put it away."
"Very good, have you been seen by others?"
The middle-aged man who was called your Excellency by Humphrey took the CD from him calmly, turned around and walked towards the armchair, and when he reached the armchair, he turned around and lay down on the chair again, playing with it with one hand. Holding the CD in Henfrey's hand, he took off the cigar from his lips with one hand and put it in the ashtray beside him to extinguish it.
After the middle-aged man took the CD, Hengfuli turned around and closed the door. He heard the middle-aged man's question as soon as he closed the door. He was startled in doubt, "Your Excellency Bill was too careful. Just the three of us, how could anyone else see it."
Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "No, there were only me and Pepper at that time. When Stark came over, I just turned around and used Mr. Stark to block her sight. She Shouldn't see what we've done."
"I'm not talking about Pepper, I'm referring to whether someone who was placed nearby by other departments found out what happened between you." Bill was obviously not satisfied with Humphry's answer, and asked with a slight frown.
"Well, I'm not sure about this, but the contact between me and him was only a few seconds at that time, and there are so many people looking for Stark these days, I don't think it has attracted the attention of others." Heng The more Fuli explained, the more flustered he felt, and in the end even the air he inhaled was like frost.
"Hmph, idiot, why did you send you there, why did you play such a scene in his house, you know, it's just to keep others from knowing the relationship between me and him, if because of your little mistake, people find out Flaws, ruined the whole plan, you just wait to be sacrificed by the adults."
Bill's scolding was more effective than he expected. Henfrey, who was like a frightened bird, was so frightened that his knees softened, and he knelt down on the carpet, begging for mercy, "Your Excellency, I didn't mean it, please!" Don't tell the adults, I don't want to be sacrificed, please."
I don't know what the sacrifice in Hengfuli's mouth was that made him so scared. Bill seemed to be moved by his begging for mercy. The anger on his face gradually faded away, but his tone was still blunt: "Okay, don't cry, As long as the plan is carried out smoothly, it will not be a big problem even if it is discovered, and everything will be under our control by then."
Bill's words were undoubtedly a bright light in the dark for Humphrey, dispelling all the fear in his heart, and the smile reappeared on his face, but Bill knew that this was actually said to comfort the other party. Even he himself didn't know how, after all, according to SHIELD's work style, at this juncture, someone would definitely arrange someone to monitor Tony's every move.
If the secret actions of Tony and Humphrey are seen by the surveillance personnel, even Bill can't fully predict what the consequences will be, but I don't know if it's their luck or the goddess of luck is on their side. When giving the order, let the people below pay more attention to the strangers approaching Tony, but Humphry, the assistant to the cabinet Bill, was ignored by them.
A small incident will often trigger a chain reaction. If the marinated egg has learned about this incident earlier, perhaps the subsequent incidents will not happen.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when the auction starts. Most people in New York who are interested in steel armor have come to the Empire State Building to participate through invitations sent by Stark Industries.
The owners of the Empire State Building, Peter Malkin and his son, paid special attention to this grand event, and specially vacated the banquet hall on the top floor. This banquet hall is rarely used for business, and it is only used during the anniversary celebration of the Empire State Building. I will use it last time, and the rest of the time is used for viewing. This time, it is used as a venue to let these guests experience the best service. After all, it can be called a free time for the Empire State Building. advertisment.
The first ones to arrive at the auction site were the staff of S.H.I.E.L.D. Under the leadership of Natasha, they were full of people in the lobby on the first floor, the elevator entrance, the entrance and exit of the auction, and the emergency passages. Of course, the auction hall Surveillance equipment was also installed in the interior and corridors to prevent sudden incidents.
The same goes for the service personnel at the auction, they have been carefully checked and confirmed, but those who have previous criminal records, criminal records, or people with complicated social backgrounds are not allowed to enter. It can be said that this auction is comparable to a state banquet level banquet.
After all, the people who came to participate in the auction this time were not only the rich and powerful in New York, but also the ambassadors of other countries stationed in the United States, the rich and other important figures. The stock market caused severe shocks.
At seven o'clock in the evening, under the bright lights, the night in New York shines like a bright night sky. If you stand on the sky and look down from another angle, you may have an illusion, as if the real starry sky is right under your feet , while the sky is a dark night sky.
And the brightest star is the Empire State Building. Every important guest has to pass the red carpet at the entrance. Naturally, it is necessary to stop in front of Ji Ji and pose for a few POSS, so that they can take pictures of their well-dressed and high-spirited appearance.
As people gradually entered the venue, the originally empty hall gradually filled with people, including the familiar Bill, Senator Stern, the Green Goblin, Hank Pym, and Antonio who had seen in the United Nations building before, as well as people from various countries. Ambassador, it's strange that none of them died.
After all of them were seated, Mr. Malkin arranged for his own personnel to notify Tony Stark to come on stage. After all, he and the steel armor were the protagonists of today's auction.
Before Tony's arrival, the guests tasted the fine wine and food provided by the organizer, and talked with their acquaintances about the interesting things or the latest news.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire hall dimmed, and the searchlight on the top cast a round beam of light, which projected onto the VIP entrance on the right side of the hall. Everyone stopped communicating and turned their eyes to where the beam of light was.
As if in response to their expectations, the door of the VIP entrance was pushed open from the outside. The leader was Mr. Malkin, the owner of the Empire State Building, followed by Tony's girlfriend, Pepper, and behind him were two armed men. Guards, they stayed at the gate.
"Good evening, everybody."
Just when they were guessing where Tony Stark had gone, everyone heard the familiar and playful voice from the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker could be used in the hall, it must be a microphone, so everyone turned their eyes again moved to the stage.
And the lighting engineer also cooperated very well to move the light to the center of the stage, revealing Tony Stark holding the microphone in front of everyone. Tony stretched out his hand to block the glare of the light, and tried to wave his hand to make him move away. When he found that it was not effective, he put down his hands and ignored it, only the frown showed his inner dissatisfaction.
Everyone saw Tony's appearance clearly and applauded unanimously. This is the basic etiquette for guests to the host.
Tony waited for the crowd to drum for about ten seconds, stretched out his hand and made a downward movement, the applause stopped immediately, as if the two sides had been skillfully rehearsed, Tony cleared his throat, took the microphone and looked at the guests in the distance and said: " First of all, I am very glad that everyone can come today, for today's auction, and for what I will do next."
