The first genius of American comics

Chapter 292 Laid Off and Reemployment

Tony Stark went bankrupt. The second-generation rich man who had occupied the top of the world's wealth list all year round unexpectedly went bankrupt, and immediately became the headlines of the world.

Especially now that the Ultron crisis has just passed half a year, it is even more on the cusp.

Ordinary people naturally sit down and eat melons, but for some professionals, this result is not surprising at all, and many people even predicted this as early as half a year ago.

"Ultron triggered a war in the entire beautiful country. The direct damage caused by this war is as high as trillions. Tony Stark can't afford it no matter how rich he is!"

"This guy is finally finished. I've been annoyed at seeing him for a long time. Damn, he sleeps with young models every day. Back then, he even slept with Playboy's year-round cover girl. It's so fucking annoying to me."

"Brother, even without Tony Stark, you wouldn't be able to sleep with those young models, right?"

"What's wrong with not being able to sleep? I just envy and hate you, hang me!"

In this world ruled by money, rich people will be respected by others, even if you have all kinds of problems and problems, as long as you have money, you will be dubbed as a person who makes big things and doesn't care about small things.

But if you have no money, then you are a scumbag, a scum, no matter how hard others tried to praise you in the past, they will belittle you crazily now. This is the reality, and no one can avoid it.

What's more, Tony is indeed mainly responsible for the Ultron incident. After all, Ultron was not only created by him and Banner, but also promoted by him. If this is the crime, then Tony Stark is definitely the main culprit. Banner Can only be regarded as an accessory.

"You all underestimate Tony Stark too much. He's making progress by retreating. If he continues to lose money, the entire Stark Industry will pay for it. It's not necessarily enough. Now Tony Stark directly applies for bankruptcy protection , Although all personal assets are gone, Stark Industries has kept them."

"That's right, this guy is too cunning. With his ability, even if he is penniless, he can still find a good job, and he can still live a handsome life in the future, but those who are waiting for compensation will be ruined. Will get another penny in compensation, the laws of our country are fucking bastards!"

The law of the beautiful country stipulates that once an individual files for bankruptcy, all previous debts will not have to be repaid. Even if you owe an astronomical amount of debt, it will be cancelled.

Of course, all your personal property will be taken and auctioned off to pay off those debts.

Therefore, many people will take advantage of legal loopholes, directly avoid debts by going bankrupt, and then start anew and make a comeback.

In history, there are countless similar examples. After all, this is a country of capitalists, and the law also serves capitalists. As for those unlucky people at the bottom of society, who cares about their lives!

At this time in another Stark Tower in Los Angeles, Pepper stopped Tony.

"Tony, are you really going to do this? Why? Didn't you say you won't make weapons for the military anymore?"

At this time, Pepper's eyes were full of disappointment and pain, and he hoped that Tony could rein in the precipice, but it was obvious that Tony was not the kind of person who would change his mind easily.

"The current power of the umbrella is too strong, even as strong as the country. Someone must stand up to check and balance it, otherwise the world will be in chaos!"

At this time, Tony was only wearing a cheap t-shirt and a pair of cheap jeans. All the famous brand clothes in the past were gone.

Obviously, after bankruptcy, he can no longer maintain the high quality of life he used to.

"Besides, do you really think that just going bankrupt can wipe out Ultron's affairs? Don't be stupid, the reason why the government shirks responsibility is to make me a scapegoat, so they won't let me get away easily of."

Little Pepper is now considered an old fritter in the business world, and she understood when Tony said it.

"They threatened you with this? We can sue them! They have no right to decide your life!"

"Hehe, no, not only do they have power, but they are also very good at using it. I was too naive. Now it seems that Wang Khan has vision."

Thinking of his biggest opponent at this stage, Tony smiled wryly.

Looking back on the few years since I became Iron Man, from my arrogance at the beginning, to gradually realizing the truth of the world, I finally fell to the point of bankruptcy.

Step by step, Tony found that he had never been truly free.

Although in the past he thought that no one could control him, relying on Stark Industries, he had insulted the hostess in Congress and made a lot of nonsense at the exposition, but the pressure from the government and the military has never been able to get rid of, Until now, I have completely crushed myself and have to compromise.

Back and forth again and again, and finally landed in today's field.

"Forget it, the reason why I agreed to the military this time, apart from the matter of Ultron, is the manufacture of space-based weapons. Now that four cosmic elevators have been built, the future situation of the earth is definitely space-based weapons. Forget it, instead of letting others mess around with space-based weapons and cause a world war, it is better to let me participate, at least I can add an insurance to space-based weapons."

"Okay, Pepper, you stay in Stark Industries and help me manage it. I will come back sooner or later."

Putting on a cheap baseball cap, Tony Stark, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, became a penniless pauper.

But a genius will not be starved to death, just walked out of the gate of Stark Tower, once the military's armored vehicle stopped in front of him.

Tony pulled the car door and walked up, and then the bulletproof car left quickly, heading for a military airport.

At the airport, old friend Roddy was already there waiting for him.

"Welcome home bro, this is your home from now on."

Tony smiled, but did not respond, then got on the plane and came to Area 51, the most mysterious place in the beautiful country.

This Area 51 really has the wreckage of alien spacecraft, and it has been engaged in reverse engineering of alien spacecraft since decades ago.

In addition to the Cree spacecraft dozens of years ago, there are still a large number of Chitauri and Dark Elf spacecraft wreckage, which can be said to be the most comprehensive study of alien civilization on Earth today.

Guided by two soldiers, Tony came to the core area of ​​Area 51, where he met a 5-star general and many military leaders.

Tony is a little nervous, but when he thinks about his current situation, he has the urge to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

"I'm here as agreed. I hope you don't bother Stark Industries and Pepper any more. Other than that, I promise you everything. Now can you tell me what you want me to do?"

The five-star general smiled slightly.

"Don't be nervous Stark, we didn't come to you to threaten you, and we even want to entrust you with important tasks."

"Entrusted with a heavy responsibility?"

"Yes, the space elevator has been built, the earth is about to enter a new era, and space-based weapons will become the mainstream of the world's military, so we decided to set up a special department to manage all these, and you will be the head of this department principal."

"What department?"

"We just decided on its name, it's called... Heavenly Sword Bureau!"
