The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 62
After Alexander Pierce formulated the plan, he immediately applied to the above. At the same time, he also contacted General Ross. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. As long as he does not reveal his identity as Hydra, he believes that General Ross will fight with himself cooperating.

"You are very courageous, Mr. Pierce. Stark Industries is not that easy to handle, and Pepper Potts is not the vassal who seduced Tony Stark to rise to power as the newspapers said." General Ross said to Alexander Pierce Said.

Since Pepper took over the position, it didn't take much time to build Stark Industries into an iron plate. Not only did he take back all the equity in the shareholders' hands by means of thunder, but he also cleared out a large number of spies in the company. All the positions are hers, and she completely controls Stark Industries in her own hands.At the same time, Stark Industries' losses due to Tony's announcement of the closure of the weapons manufacturing department turned into a profit within two years, and the output value rose in a straight line.

Although this is inseparable from the support of Maria and the various emerging civilian technologies behind the "Watcher", no one dares to underestimate Pepper's wrist now.

"Do you have a better way? General Ross, we are all looking for that mysterious organization. The only clue we can use is Stark Industries. I don't think you want to sleep with missiles anymore?"

Hearing this, General Ross's face turned black, which was the greatest shame in his heart. Although he knew that even if he blocked the news, he would not be able to hide it from S.H.I.E.L.D., but speaking so directly was slapping him in the face.

"Mr. Pierce, if you came to humiliate me, your purpose has been achieved, and we can end this call."

"No, no, General Ross, I'm just stating the facts. I think you and I have reached an agreement on our attitude towards this mysterious organization."

"This terrible power must be in the hands of the military!"

"To be precise, it is in the hands of both you and me, General Ross." Alexander Pierce reminded Ross, don't want to take it all by yourself.

Ross is a standard hawk. To put it more seriously, he is a war lunatic who is selfish, possessive of control, and wants to start a war all the time. Even during the Cold War, he planned to use the little boy again.

Alexander Pierce could foresee that if Ross obtained the powerful power of the mysterious organization, the world would immediately be filled with war.Just like Rose wants to monopolize the fruits of the mysterious force, Alexander Pierce is also planning how to get rid of Rose directly after using the other party.

This is not just wanting to monopolize, but also if the world is full of wars, this is not in line with Hydra's vision. They really want to rule the world, but in the way of Hydra, not just by war.

"So, how do you want to cooperate?" Ross also secretly scolded Alexander Pierce as an old fox in his heart. He acted very similarly, but he couldn't hide it from Ross.

"General Ross, please contact the Military and Political Council to summon Tony Stark. His battle suit is a powerful weapon, and the government naturally has the right to call it up. We are responsible for Stark Industries and Pepper Potts. We attack in two ways, They have to come forward if they want to stay in this country."

"Hehe, you have a good plan, don't you know that Tony Stark has been missing for a long time?" Rose sneered.

The military has been coveting Tony's battle armor for a long time, and it's not that they haven't thought about subpoenaing Tony for a hearing, but you still have to find someone else!

Even if you hand over the subpoena to Stark Industries, the reply there is that no one can be found, and if no one can be found, it cannot be notified. Even the government has used the means of expropriating Tony's private property, but it is useless. Because all the shares of Stark Industries under Tony's name have been adopted to Pepper, whether the two are married now makes them helpless.

And Tony himself seems to have changed his gender. Tony Stark, who has been in bars, clubs, and parties all year round, is almost invisible. The chances of seeing him looking for the steel box flying in the sky are higher.

"There is someone in the military who can contact Tony Stark. Believe me, General Ross, there must be a connection between them." Alexander Pierce reminded.

"You mean... James Rhodes?"

"Sure, Tony Stark may be a jerk, but he's good to his friends."

"I know, I'll go and find out, but you'd better not get your hopes up."

"We don't have much choice either, do we?"

"After success..."

"Joint research."

"Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Pierce."

"Good cooperation, General."

After hanging up the communication, Alexander Pierce was still very happy. He successfully tricked Ross into cooperating with him. The next thing he needed to do was to make arrangements in advance and kick him out after the matter was completed.

……

Sure enough, within two days, Alexander Pierce's application was approved, and Pepper was "invited" to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Is there anything we can't talk about in my office, Mr. Pierce."

"You know, Miss Potts, Tony has made some big news recently, and we just want to talk to him. Tony is a citizen, but he has power that he can't control, whether it's for him or for him. It's not a good thing for us, don't you think so?"

"Then you should go to him, Mr. Pierce. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I can't contact him."

"Miss Potts, don't think of me as one of those reporters. Such lies can't deal with me. If possible, I don't want to use some means to get his information."

"Then what measures are you going to take? Mr. Pierce, I am a law-abiding citizen. You have no right to take any measures against me. If you have anything to do, please talk to my lawyer. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I won't stay any longer. "

After speaking, Pepper got up to leave, but the door was blocked by two strong men, unable to leave.

"Do you think this is illegal detention? Mr. Pierce?" Pepper raised his eyebrows and looked at Alexander Pierce very displeased.

"Of course not, Miss Potts. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international organization, it doesn't have the right to illegally detain a law-abiding citizen, but the premise is that you are a law-abiding citizen." Alexander Pierce crossed his hands and said very calmly.

"What do you mean?" A bad premonition welled up in Pepper's heart.

"I have no other intentions, Miss Potts, please sit down, if you cooperate, it will not delay your meeting in the afternoon." Alexander Pierce reached out his hand to signal Pepper to sit down.

Pepper had no choice but to sit down.

"You'd better give me a satisfactory answer, Mr. Pierce, or you'll wait for the court summons."

"Naturally, Miss Potts, I think we can just skip some unnecessary nonsense, I just need you to provide Tony's contact information, how to contact him is my problem, and you continue to do your Stark Industries Master, it's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"

"I said, I can't contact Tony. After Tony handed over Stark Industries to me, I can't contact him. If possible, I hope you can help me contact my boss, otherwise I'm going to change the name of Stark Industries to Potts Industries."

"It's inappropriate for you to say that, Miss Potts."

Alexander Pierce got up and came behind Pepper and said quietly, wanting to put his hands on Pepper's shoulders, he is still very interested in Pepper, a woman who is both beautiful and capable is liked by all men.

But just as his hand was about to touch Pepper, Alexander Pierce's hairs suddenly stood up, and an abyss-like murderous aura enveloped him, warning him that as long as he dared to touch Pepper, he would die, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.

At this time, he was also sure that there was indeed some kind of mysterious existence around Pepper protecting her.

Alexander Pierce forcibly calmed down, and continued to say to Pepper: "You know better than me what Stark Industries has done before. Even if you transform now, you can't just wash it off if you want to. Tuck Industries is at risk of going out of business."

"Haha, let's keep these words in court. Mr. Pierce, I can understand what you just said as a personal attack and threat. As for what Stark Industries did before, that was Obadiah's own initiative, and he also got it. What does legal sanctions have to do with me? If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Pepper stood up and left again, and faced the guard blocking the door and shouted coldly: "Get out of the way."

Pepper directly used the "suggestion magic" to affect the spirit of the guard, and the guard obeyed his orders to get out of the way. This made Alexander Pierce stunned, but he didn't stop him either, because Pepper's words reached such a point Now, he has no reason to force Pepper to stay, he can only let her go.

But this conversation was not fruitless, at least it became clear that there was a mysterious guardian around Pepper, and that Pepper himself was not an ordinary person.

After Pepper left, Alexander Pierce asked the two guards.

"Why did you step aside just now?"

"Didn't you agree with it?" The two guards were stunned instead.

Alexander Pierce was lost in thought.

"What kind of ability is this? Psychological suggestion? Is it fantasy?"

While thinking about it, he returned to the office. He had to wait for the results from Ross before he could make a unified countermeasure, but he still edited a message and sent it to Baron Sterak and Zola. Pepper is a superpower.

……

In the car, Pepper was also talking to Baimao.

"You shouldn't have warned Pierce just now, your existence has been exposed."

"The understanding that Peggy gave me is to protect you comprehensively. That bug has undeserved desires for you. As a descendant of my lord, he is not something he can offend."

"Hey." Pepper couldn't say anything more, and it's not a big deal to be exposed, but now it seems that various forces plan to investigate them on the surface, so Adam needs to make up his mind. How to deal with it.

"Happy, turn to the airport, let's go to Los Angeles."

"Is it already this serious?" Happy asked, although he didn't know much, but as one of Tony's few friends, he still knew something, and he was naturally protected by all-looking clones.

"For them, not seriously, but for us, yeah, you don't want to lose your job so young, do you?"

"Ok."

The vehicle turned around and headed for the airport.

At the same time, the same person who rushed to Los Angeles like Pepper was James Lord. He received a strict order from the military and must contact Tony to take him to the upcoming military and political meeting, otherwise he will wait to retire.
