Hunter starting from Hunter World

Endless food...

A living environment like a fairy tale...

The city in the sky stands above the spectacular maelstrom...

Various intelligent races such as dragons, dwarves, elves, and giants that only appear in games and fantasy stories...

And the advanced technology that is many years ahead of the Earth...

All of this made Ethan feel like he was in a wonderful dream.

The most important thing is that he got a bottle of magic potion that can increase his life span by thirty years. After drinking it, he became younger.

After all, there is a tenfold time difference between Azeroth and the outside world.

If Ethan's lifespan is not extended, given his current age, two or three years have passed outside and twenty or thirty years have passed inside. It is estimated that he can be buried directly after he is released.

After Ethan got used to it for a while, he took the initiative to apply to join Sky City's scientific research institution and began to study while working in his old profession.

Without any external pressure, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and tranquility, and gradually forgot everything in the real world.

Just when the man who created Iron Man rekindled his passion for life, Tony Stark had completed all the processes of the Mark III Iron Suit in his home studio and sprayed it with red and Golden paint.

From this moment on, he finally transformed from that irresponsible playboy into a real Iron Man.

Of course, it will take some time to get this title.

But no matter what, I finally got rid of the decadent life of alcoholism and excessive indulgence.

Looking at the new armor placed in the display cabinet, Tony asked without looking back: Jarvis, has there been any result on what I asked you to investigate some time ago?

Sorry, sir. I have searched the entire Internet, and apart from the few photos taken by satellite, I can't find any trace of this girl and the black cat Roya. And in the databases of legal citizens around the world , and there is no relationship between her family, parents and relatives. The artificial intelligence housekeeper hurriedly gave the results of his investigation.

What? Can't find any trace of his existence at all? Are you kidding me? Tony's tone was filled with incredible surprise. In this information age where the Internet is highly developed, unless you are completely cut off from modern society, you will leave some clues and traces.

According to your description, maybe she has some kind of technology and power that we don't know about, and can completely avoid tracking by the camera. Apart from that, I really can't think of other possibilities. Jarvis followed himself logical inference.

Okay, keep paying attention. If you find any suspicious signs, let me know immediately.

Having said that, Tony Stark quickly closed the projected photo of Alessia.

Because he had already seen his personal assistant coming in from outside.

Obviously, he didn't want too many people to know about it.

Are you still looking for Luo Ya?

Pepper Potts noticed the black cat projection next to him that he had not had time to turn off, and an expression of sympathy and helplessness appeared on his face.

In Little Pepper's eyes, this pet that had been missing for many days with his boss must be dead.

Tony's reaction at the moment is probably the same as the doctors' diagnosis, and he should be suffering from some kind of mental illness called War Trauma Syndrome.

Tony Stark obviously didn't know that he had become a patient with psychological problems in the eyes of others, so he replied to himself: Of course! I promised it that after I escape, I will treat it to eating all over the world. The best steak and tuna meat. A man must keep his promise. Once he promises, he must keep it.”

Okay, then I hope you can find it soon.

Pepper Potts didn't argue, just smiled and nodded.

To be exact, since the man in front of her narrowly escaped death and returned from Afghanistan, she has never had an argument with him.

The reason is also very simple!

Patients always enjoy some benefits and privileges.

Especially Tony behaved so strangely after returning home.

I basically spent the whole day hiding at home in mystery, not knowing what I was doing.

It is far different from the previous image of a playboy who liked to appear in high-profile public occasions and make headlines in the news media.

It is precisely because of this that the outside world speculates that he suffered from a very serious war trauma syndrome.

Not only that, this guy also announced at a previous press conference that Stark Industries would close the weapons department.

As soon as the news came out, the entire group's stock price plummeted by 40%, and it continued to fall. It seemed that it was on the verge of being cut in half.

Many shareholders even shouted angrily that they wanted to remove Tony Stark from his position as CEO and kick him off the board of directors.

At this time, the ugly face of American capitalism was vividly displayed.

No one remembers that the Starks were the founders of the company.

It is their genius inventions and creations that have created the glory of Stark Industries today, bringing dozens or even hundreds of times of income to all investors.

Every investor who holds shares in the Stark Group only remembers Tony Stark's words about closing the weapons department, which caused his assets to shrink significantly.

Of course, Tony himself had already anticipated this, and had always been very calm about the quarrels from the outside world and the clamor of shareholders in the company.

After all, he had successfully miniaturized the Ark reactor.

With this technology alone, Stark Industries can easily monopolize the energy market in the future and become a truly multinational giant.

Unfortunately, Pepper Potts didn't know this and was still worried about his boss's situation. He quickly took out a piece of writing from the folder in his hand and handed it over: Here, this is an invitation letter. Agent Coulson from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency just gave it to me, and he also said he wanted to make an appointment with you to talk.

Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau? What kind of government or intelligence agency is this? Tony took it and glanced at it, with several question marks popping up in his head.

I don't know. I only know that Agent Coulson seems quite kind and should be a good person. In addition, the invitation says it is a future technology seminar. I think you may be interested. Pepper Poe Zi replied with a serious face.

Hmph! It must be another group of politicians who know nothing sitting there and talking useless nonsense. As long as they have a little scientific knowledge in their minds, Congress will not be so stingy when discussing funding for scientific and technological research and development. Say no to me Lose!

When saying these words, Tony once again brought his proud, arrogant and defiant character to the extreme, and his tone was full of naked and unabashed disdain.

Obviously, with a background in science and technology, he doesn't like politicians who only talk rhetoric at all.

OK! I get it. Pepper Potts sighed helplessly.

The Iron Man had no idea how important an important gathering he had missed.

…

Ten minutes later, when Coulson reported Tony Stark's rejection of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s invitation to Nick Fury, the braised director couldn't bear it anymore and cursed in the office on the spot.

Idiot! Idiot! I can't believe that this bastard is actually Howard's biological son.

Calm down, Director. Tony Stark doesn't know the truth about this seminar. Maybe... we should give him a hint. Maria Hill suggested.

Hint? Tell me what hint? If the inside story of this seminar is leaked, the entire world will be plunged into turmoil and unrest. What's more, the representatives of the major powers on the International Security Council will never allow such advanced technology to flow in. Those small countries. Nick Fury slapped the table angrily.

According to his original plan, he directly brought in the son of the founder of SHIELD, and with the help of Stark Industries' advanced technology, he was able to successfully qualify.

At that time, as long as Tony Stark is drawn into the Avengers he is preparing to create, SHIELD will be able to obtain a lot of results for free in the future.

But now, the good news is that the real owner is not even interested in coming to participate, so all subsequent arrangements will naturally be in vain.

Obviously, this so-called future technology seminar is actually part of the advanced technology that Allen promised to provide to human society.

However, in order to deceive others, these technologies will not be provided directly to governments, but to companies with certain R\u0026D capabilities and technical strength.

They will then transform the technology into products, ultimately realizing the grand vision of bringing earth civilization to the next stage.

Therefore, several major powers have begun to look for suitable targets in their own countries to ensure that they will not be at a disadvantage in this competition.

Otherwise, once you are left behind, you may never be able to catch up again in this life.

What about the US government? Didn't they invite Stark Industries? Maria Hill narrowed her eyes and asked.

Perhaps because Tony announced the closure of the weapons research and development department not long ago, the military is more inclined to let Hammer Industries replace Stark Industries. Of course, the debate is still ongoing at the moment, and it is estimated that there will be no results in a short time. Nick Fury said, touching his shiny black forehead.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is deeply involved with the U.S. government and intelligence agencies, it is actually closer to a relationship that is both competitive and cooperative.

This is why, when SHIELD collapsed, whether it was the FBI, CIA, or the US government, they all jumped out impatiently and wanted to put it to death.

On the one hand, SHIELD agents often use their identities as FBI and CIA to deceive people, which is indeed a bit hateful.

On the other hand, they are not completely obedient to the US government, so they will naturally be hostile to their own intelligence agencies.

There is only one true superior of SHIELD, and that is the International Security Council.

In other words, its essence is an international collaborative organization.

Hammer Industries has also joined the competition? Maria Hill was obviously surprised. This is really a big trouble! Is there no way we can directly let Stark Industries be shortlisted?

There is a way, but I'm not sure what the consequences will be. Director Lu Dan's single eye flashed with a deep light.

You mean...to directly influence the person who has the power to make the decision?

To be able to become a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill undoubtedly has a very keen intuition, and she immediately realized what her director wanted to do.

Nick Fury nodded solemnly: Yes! After all, this is the key to the future development of human society, and we have the responsibility and obligation to join it. Notify Coulson immediately and ask him to go to New York again. No matter what conditions the other party offers, we must ensure that Stark Industries can be shortlisted.

I must remind you that this is tantamount to violating the order issued by the Security Council. Moreover, Agent Coulson has not rested for almost two months, and his current mental and physical conditions are very poor. Maria Hill said in a tone of voice It contains a strong warning.

It doesn't matter! If something goes wrong, I will take all the responsibility. Director Lu Dan showed his awareness as the supreme leader at the critical moment.

After all, Justin Hammer is a typical traditional arms dealer who is afraid of chaos.

As long as you give money, there is basically nothing you dare not sell.

So he would rather let Tony Stark, who has shown some heroic qualities, get the ticket than Justin Hammer.

Otherwise, once Hydra obtains some of these advanced technologies, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm around the world.

Understood! I will give orders to Agent Coulson immediately.

After saying that, Maria Hill turned around and walked out of the office.

After watching the slender female agent walk away completely, Nick Fury took out a top-secret file from the drawer. On the first page, there were photos of Ellen, Sakura and Artoria.

I saw him touching his chin and whispering in a voice that only he could hear: Super strength, super speed, super physique, the huge energy of at least dozens of stars combined, and all kinds of incredible supernatural abilities . After the Security Council obtains such an ally, my proposal to form the Avengers will probably be shelved indefinitely. This cannot continue! The earth must have its own defense force.

The words just fell!

Director Lu Dan stood up suddenly, walked out of the SHIELD headquarters building with another top-secret file, and boarded a plane.

Not long after he left, the news was delivered to Alexander Pierce's desk.

Interesting! I bet this guy is planning something secretly.

Do you need our people to track his movements? Sitwell asked cautiously.

No, no need. Alexander Pierce smiled and shook his head. Today is different from the past! Compared with Nick Fury's small actions, this future technology seminar is the focus we should pay attention to. As long as we can master some advanced technologies first, the world will soon be ours. thing.

But the Security Council has signed an alliance agreement with those super humans from other dimensions. Will they watch us seize control of the world and remain indifferent? Sitwell said with strong doubts in his tone.

Alexander Pierce explained meaningfully: I have tested it privately. In principle, they will not intervene in the internal fighting between humans. In other words, these people will only be involved in the invasion from other dimensions and aliens. They will fulfill their obligations. So don't worry, they are not our enemies...
