Chapter 35: Tony Stark Under Precise Control
In the evening, at Tony Stark's ocean-view Villa.
Lynn Hall sat on the sofa and asked, "Tony, you invited me over; it shouldn't just be for a drink, right?"
"Burp!"
Tony Stark, sitting on the carpet, burped and tried to pick up his wine glass.
Unfortunately, his hand trembled, and the wine spilled directly onto the carpet.
Looking at the wine-soaked carpet with some regret, Tony Stark spread his hands and said, "What a shame, this was a fine wine aged for over twenty years."
"As a billionaire like you, would you care about a bottle of twenty-year-old wine?"
"This isn't just any wine; it's from a trip I took to Europe a few years ago... never mind, let's not talk about that!"
Looking at the TV, the Mayor of New York and James Duke high-profilely announced to media reporters that after three days of investigation, the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation had captured the Mutant responsible for the concert attack, and they also broadcast the video filmed by Alice.
Looking at the two people on the screen, Tony Stark said to Lynn, "You were the one who made the arrest, but these two guys got all the glory. Don't you feel a little uncomfortable about it?"
Listening to Tony's question, Lynn took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said, "Tony, celebrities want everyone to know them, but as an Agent, I want no one to know me!"
"Of course, if one day I become the Director of the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation, then you will often see me on TV!"
"Then you'll have to work harder and try to kick that old guy out of office sooner!"
Saying that, Tony Stark supported himself on the sofa and stood up from the carpet: "Oh, come with me. Believe me, what you're about to see will definitely open your eyes!"
"'Open your eyes'? Is it as exciting as the part with Nicole and the Navy?"
"Nicole? Hmm, she is quite White and moist, but it's a pity her taste isn't very good. If you like her, should I set you up?"
"Forget it, I don't like doing those things with someone more than ten years older than me. People would think she's playing me. But there's someone named Anne Hathaway who looks pretty good."
"The Hollywood actress who starred in 'The Princess Diaries'? I haven't met her. When I have time, I'll help you trick her into your bed!"
While exchanging suggestive remarks, the two walked to Tony Stark's private laboratory on the basement floor.
Luxury cars were parked there, and in the middle, there was an antique classic car painted with golden-red Fire patterns.
Arriving at the lab, Tony Stark clapped his hands: "Jarvis, display my latest work!"
Hearing Tony Stark's command, the originally smooth wall suddenly opened, and then a bright silver Mark armor slowly rose from underground.
"How about it, isn't it cool!"
Looking at the armor rising on the mechanical platform, Tony Stark proudly said to Lynn, "You are the second person to see him; even Pepper doesn't know what I've been researching lately!"
As the bright silver Mark prototype armor appeared before him, a hint of awe flashed in Lynn Hall's eyes.
Even though he had seen various Mark series armors in movies before his transmigration, Lynn still felt amazed when he saw the real armor!
Seeing only admiration and appreciation in Lynn's eyes, but no surprise at all, Tony Stark couldn't help but rub his nose: "You're not surprised at all?"
"What's there to be surprised about?"
Shrugging, Lynn casually said, "Didn't the media praise you as the greatest genius of this century?"
"Since you're a genius, it's normal to develop something like this. By the way, can you turn it into a bracelet or a necklace?"
"A bracelet, a necklace?"
"That's right, the kind you carry with you normally, and when you encounter danger, you just lightly touch the bracelet, and the armor immediately covers your whole body automatically!"
Facing Lynn's vision, Tony Stark helplessly said, "This is armor, not some fantasy nano-toy..."
"Can't you make it? Then I can only say that your genius is just so-so."
Tony Stark gave Lynn a speechless look, thinking that after he developed nano-armor in the future, he would definitely fly to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation Building every day to knock on Lynn Hall's office window!
"By the way, now can you tell me why you invited me over?"
Lynn Hall looked at Tony Stark and asked.
"Uh, there's something I need your help with."
Tony Stark looked at Lynn and asked, "Can your Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel privately accept employment to investigate certain matters?"
"In principle, it's absolutely not allowed. Once, a senator lost his mind and wanted us to help him investigate some matters privately. Do you know what we did?"
"What did you do?"
"We immediately investigated everything about him; he still has twenty-seven lawsuits waiting for trial!"
Hearing Lynn say that, a hint of disappointment clearly flashed in Tony Stark's eyes.
However, he also knew the rules of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.
But besides Lynn, Tony Stark didn't trust any private detective!
They might investigate these matters for money, but they could also be bought off by the mastermind behind the scenes!
Seeing the disappointment appear in Tony Stark's eyes, but quickly concealed by him, Lynn Hall smiled and said, "However, considering you provided me with your private satellite when I was pursuing Adam Morris, I can help with this!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Tony Stark's eyes lit up: "Are you sure you can? I mean, what if your superior finds out...?"
"Then forget about it!"
Looking at Tony, whose emotions were like a roller coaster, Lynn gravely said, "It would be very troublesome if my superior found out, because it might deduct half of my bonus for that month!"
Knowing that Lynn was joking, Tony Stark rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He then opened his computer: "These are all the details of that attack that I recorded after returning to New York!"
"I think someone must have leaked my whereabouts, or even secretly manipulated the armed forces in the Middle East to attack me."
"The best evidence is that those armed forces in the Middle East possess weapons manufactured by Stark Industries, not just one or two, but an entire batch!"
Tony Stark didn't mention compensation to Lynn Hall.
He felt that offering compensation would be an insult to Lynn Hall!
After all, no matter how he looked at it, Lynn wasn't the kind of corrupt official who was greedy for money and bribes!
Lynn took out a USB drive and copied all the data he had prepared, as well as the expanded weapon information.
"I will give you the investigation results within three days!"
Putting away the USB drive, Lynn looked at Tony.
Hmm, as for Obadiah Stane's -7 favorability towards him, Lynn had long wanted to steal the kill!
He hadn't expected the opportunity to present itself now!
