Chapter 23: A Conspiracy

"La la la la. La la la la." Zhan Ji Lingma shook the pen in his hand while looking at the application materials in his hand.

"Hey. This guy looks quite interesting. Why did he come to this kind of company?" Zhan Ji Lingma looked at the information in his hand and said to the interviewer beside him: "I need to meet this interviewee."

The interviewer looked embarrassed and said, "But we screened him out before you came."

"Is that so?" Zhan Ji Lingma blinked, then looked at the information in his hand with a wicked smile.

"That seems to be a good idea."

......

"How long will this life last?" John Walker, who failed the interview, is not satisfied with his current life after retiring from the army.

John Walker was originally confident about joining Vanke Technology. With his resume, this new type of enterprise must be in great need of him. However, the combination of the interviewer's arrogance and his own pride made him lose confidence.

"Working in the wrestling league isn't the life I want. It's just military life."

John Walker took a swig of beer.

In fact, besides admiring his deceased brother, John Walker also has another dream, which is to become a "superhero". When he was young, his most admired brother and Captain America. And now, the "superheroes" that have appeared. All of these make John Walker want to get close to them.

Unfortunately, Hawke Group no longer needs security personnel, and Stark Group has never been considered at all.

The reason why I wanted to join Vanke Technology was because of what my comrades who had joined the army after retiring told me. That’s why I had the idea of ​​working for Vanke Technology. Thinking about my resume, maybe the group will be prosperous in the future, and I will definitely have a battle armor to wear, even if it’s not a new type.

"It seems that I still have to listen to my comrades' advice and join the army."

John Walker shook off the vexatious thoughts and no longer missed them.

Ding Dong!

The door bell of the single-family house rang.

"Who is it?" John Walker frowned, wondering if it could be his comrade-in-arms or colleague in the wrestling league.

When he opened the door, an East Asian man wearing a white coat and glasses looked at him with a slightly excited look.

"Hello, Mr. John Walker. My name is Zhan Ji Lingma, but I have to mention one thing. I am older than you. Maybe you should add a brother after my name." Zhan Ji Lingma looked at John Walker, who exuded a youthful and sharp aura, and smiled. He didn't care at all about the other party's obviously unwelcome attitude.

"I am a member of Vanke Technology, let's just say that."

John Walker looked at the familiar Zhan Ji Ling Ma who broke into his house and sneered, then threatened: "If you don't leave, I will make another hole in your body."

"Wow! I just like your personality, although I know the laws of this country regarding the consequences of breaking into someone else's house." A provocative look flashed in Zhan Ji Lingma's eyes.

"But you can give it a try." He finished.

Zhan Ji Lingma took out a belt under John Walker's increasingly disbelieving and stunned gaze.

"Henshin"

“lemon”

"lock on"

"Kamen Rider Duke"

In an instant, John Walker felt that he was in a dark house. It was pitch black all around him, except for the eyes of the armor opposite him, which seemed to be reflecting his own eyes, flashing a light called "desire".

He opened his mouth wide, his hands unconsciously raised up, and then his knees softened as if in shock, and he knelt down.

"This! This is the 'superhero' I want!"

......

"It seems that this guy is doing a pretty good job." Justin Hammer, wearing a light blue suit and exquisite crocodile leather shoes, was drinking red wine while looking at the steel armor parts being manufactured on the production line.

"Have you finished those things?" Nathan Hawke asked leisurely.

"Hmph." Justin Hammer felt a surge of anger when he said this.

"Not all of those military figures are your 'friends'." Nathan Hawke said with ulterior motives.

"Don't worry, I'll make a comeback this time." Justin Hammer looked at the production line below with great pride.

"Are you planning to personally support Vanke Technology?" Nathan Hawke's words have a deeper meaning.

"Uh. Men. Who isn't an avid mecha fan?"

In response to Nathan Hawke's question, Justin Hammer's answer was more of a wink.

Nathan Hawke shook his head frantically in his heart. He could understand the sickness in Justin Hammer's heart. It was like a coquettish bitch being played with. The military's first wife has always been Tony Stark, not you, but you always want to get close to him and introduce yourself to him in a very good way.

Obviously, with the addition of Ivan Vanko this time, the design, rationality and safety of the armor have been improved dramatically. This allows Justin Hammer, who has always been suppressed by Stark Industries and has never been the main wife, to make all of this and get it all back with interest to "feel proud".

"It's up to you, but can you really control Ivan Vanko?"

"Of course, I have the lifeblood of this guy."

Justin Hammer breathed in the air of the production line with revelation.

"idiot."

According to the intelligence from the umbrella, Ivan Vanko has been secretly in contact with many big shots recently, including the military, political parties, and capital tycoons.

There is reason to suspect that Ivan Vanko is preparing to do something big.

Nathan Hawke is also very much looking forward to what Ivan Vanko is doing and what if it is something "evil".

Maybe we can let superheroes appear.

Everything is in full swing.

Workshop production line.

"Ivan, I can attend the press conference. You can make all the arrangements in the command area at that time." Justin Hammer gave the order directly.

"But I also want to be at the press conference. This is my hard work." Ivan Vanko smiled casually and pointed out his role.

"No. Ivan, you don't understand. You are an outsider. You urgently need someone to stand up for you, and I am the one who can help you gain a foothold." Justin Hammer shook his head and ignored Ivan Vanke. He continued, "Your foundation is still too shallow. Although your Vanke Technology has my investment, they will not admit it. Only my support can let them know that your Vanke Technology is a part of my Hammer Industries."

Ivan Vanko sneered as he listened to Justin Hammer's words that were all good for him.

"If that's the case, then you better stand up for me." He raised the syringe in his hand and inserted it.

"You!" Justin Hammer turned around with his eyes wide open. When he tried to raise his arms with trembling hands, his legs weakened and he fell down.

Ivan Vanko looked at Justin Hammer at his feet and gave an evil smile.

"I want them all."

......

At the hot dog stand, Nick Fury sits at a table, waiting for Tony Stark to arrive. He has an important mission in mind, hoping to convince Tony to join the Avengers he has formed. Tony walks into the hot dog stand, wearing his signature sunglasses.

"Boss, a hot dog."

Black Widow quickly took a hot dog and placed it on the table.

"You're fired." Tony Stark said seriously to Black Widow who was standing behind Nick Fury.

"Whatever." Black Widow shrugged.

Nick Fury waved Tony to come over and sit down, and the two sat face to face. Nick Fury's expression was serious and firm, and he began to speak.

"Tony, we need you. The Earth is facing unprecedented threats, and I am preparing to assemble a powerful team to deal with these threats. You are the only one who can help us."

Tony Stark listened with a hint of mockery and disdain on his face.

Tony Stark nonchalantly said: "Do you think I would be a hero? I'm a rich man and I live a luxurious life. Why do you want to trouble me?"

Nick Fury looked at Tony deeply, he knew Tony's character, but he also knew that only he had the ability to deal with the upcoming threat.

Nick Fury: "Tony, this is not a game. The Earth is facing a devastating threat, and we need your technology and wisdom. You have a responsibility to protect the future of mankind."

Tony Stark smiled slightly and took a bite of his hot dog, seemingly not caring about what Nick said.

Tony Stark wiped his mouth and yelled, "A Coke."

Someone immediately brought me a bottle of iced cola, and I took a big sip with a straw.

"belch......"

"I have always been protecting the future of mankind, just in my own way. I don't need to play house-like games with you. It's just a game."

Nick Fury didn't get angry. He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Tony, I didn't come to you just for this. The elements in your reactor are gradually poisoning your body. If you don't deal with it in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Tony Stark's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but become interested in Nick's words. "How do you know this? I'm keeping it strictly confidential."

"If you don't want your secretary to know about this." Black Widow really wanted to say this in her heart, but considering that Nick Fury was present, she let it go.

Nick Fury: "We have some information about you, and we are paying attention to your every move. And all this is because your father was once a member of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"What!" Tony Stark looked at Nick Fury in shock, then frowned in disbelief. He was about to say something in his mind, but he held it back. He could only say half-truths: "Huh? You mentioned my father just to drag me into your house game?"

"These are your father's relics. Perhaps there are relics in here that can help you."

Nick Fury stood up, looked Tony straight in the eyes and said, "You don't need to reject me now. I will always wait for you."
