Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 90 Stark Expo Opening Ceremony
"Ms. Potts, here's your number. It's Colonel Rhodes calling."

Stark Tower, Pepper had just negotiated the arrangements with Chief George, when Natalie came over and whispered in Pepper's ear.

"What! Are you telling the truth?"

After answering the phone and listening for a while, Pepper suddenly exclaimed.

Natalie looked at her questioningly.

When Colonel Rhodes called just now, the other party's voice was very urgent, which seemed to be related to the military's renewed pressure on Tony Stark to hand over the technology of the steel suit.

James Lord and Tony have been best friends since childhood, and he has a high status in the military.

Although his military rank is just colonel of the Air Force, Rhodes is also the director of the Army Weapons Development Department, and he was good at conducting arms transactions with Stark Industries before Tony closed the weapons department. This is a super fat job in the army. The one that doesn't change.

Something that can make Rhodes so eager must be a big deal.

But obviously, it is impossible to explain this kind of thing in detail to a newly recruited assistant. Natalie doesn't know what Rhodes wants to say.

However, judging from Pepper's reaction, it shouldn't be a small matter.

This made Natalie curious.

In Natalie's eyes, Pepper's face changed again and again, from shock to anger and finally back to calm.

"...Okay, I agree with you, then do as you say, you can't hurt Tony, right?"

From receiving the call, Pepper only said a few words, and then hung up the phone.

"Is it urgent?"

Natalie asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, but it's no big deal, you don't have to worry too much about it."

Pepper cheered up and smiled at Natalie.

Natalie could see the unnatural look on Pepper's face. Something extraordinary had definitely happened. It's just that she was in a special situation and couldn't monitor Pepper's phone call, otherwise she wouldn't need to insinuate.

"With Jarvis around, the commonly used technological means are no different from children's play for Stark."

That's right, Natalie is not just an ordinary all-round assistant, her true identity is the top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Natasha Romanoff.

Tony's palladium poisoning is not a top secret, not only Ivan Vanke who hates him knows, SHIELD is closely monitoring Tony's movements.

In fact, S.H.I.E.L.D. had envisioned this possibility before Tony himself developed palladium poisoning.

Especially in recent months, Tony's various behaviors were too abnormal. Fury ordered Natasha to use the pseudonym Natalie to lurk by Tony's side when he was planning to recruit a new assistant.

Her task is to find out Tony's current physical condition and make an assessment for him to see if Tony can join the Avengers plan.

As a result, Tony changed hands and gave Pepper the position of CEO, which made Natasha's work a lot harder.

In all honesty, Natasha has a very bad impression of Tony, who is arrogant, arrogant, talkative, self-righteous, and doesn't listen to other people's advice...

God, there are so many things wrong with Tony Stark.

In any case, the undercover operation will continue, and Pepper doesn't want to say it, so Natasha has no choice but to give up.

It would be too deliberate to ask.

Then the two started their daily work, and Pepper had to think about how to deal with the press conference at night.

Meanwhile, Hammer Industries.

In a secret laboratory.

"Why did you change your battle suit into a drone without authorization?"

Justin Hammer is very upset now. As the head of Hammer Industries, he is only thinking about how to win Stark Industries.

So he took the risk to rescue Ivan Vanke from prison, because Ivan is the second genius scientist in the world who can independently develop a miniature nuclear reactor, at least in Hammer's eyes.

Arms accounted for almost all of Hammer Industries' revenue. Originally, after Stark Industries announced the closure of the weapons department, the US military's orders from Hammer Industries increased dozens of times.

However, when Iron Man appeared, the military focused their attention on the suit, and they began to use various means to force Tony.

Unfortunately, Tony's surname is Stark. In a country like the United States, no one can really force him, unless Tony wants to treason.

Therefore, Hammer wanted to cooperate with Ivan to make a battle suit for Hammer Industries.

As a result, Ivan changed his battle suit into a drone.

This angered Hammer, who thought Ivan was wasting his money.

"Trust me, drones are better."

Ivan didn't like Hammer at all, he knew very well that Hammer needed his skills now.

"People create trouble, but drones don't."

Seeing that Ivan looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Han Mo had no choice but to let Ivan develop himself.

"Stark Expo is starting soon, and you better hope these drones get some cheer!"

"I can get you out of prison, or I can send you back intact."

Hammer threatened fiercely.

Ever since, time passed under the surging undercurrent.

Soon, the day of the Stark Expo opening ceremony will arrive.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the exposition, some were genuinely interested in the exhibition, and some wanted to see the true face of Kaitou Kidd.

On the outer wall, Kidd's notice letter remained intact, and Tony even hired someone to maintain it.

George led thousands of police guards outside the fair, because Tony said nothing to let the police step into his central pavilion.

Even Little Pepper could not make him change his mind.

The opening ceremony was Tony Stark's personal show, and only one thing will be exhibited today, and that is the first-generation Ark reactor.

I saw a plane passing over the expo, it was Tony's private jet.

"Confirm the altitude, wind direction, air velocity..."

Tony put on the Mark IV, jumped off the plane, and the propellers installed on the palms and soles of the feet started immediately, and quickly dived down.

"boom!"

In an instant, the iron suit accelerated, and there was only a loud sound. Tony... Iron Man fell from the sky like a meteor, and he was close to the ground in just a few tens of seconds.

When Iron Man was about to land on his booth in the Expo Center pavilion, the thrusters stopped accelerating, and then he reversed his body and turned on the thrusters again to counteract the downward momentum.

Suspended two or three meters above the booth.

As soon as Iron Man appeared, the audience immediately erupted. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, Iron Man performed a standard heroic landing.

Commonly known as kneeling on one knee.

Mark IV's mask opened automatically, revealing Tony's face.

Then, the show continues.

I saw a group of dancers cosplaying as Iron Man running out of the background, and Tony danced with them in public in an iron suit.
