Chapter 155: Saving Tony Stark
Putting the mess in his mind behind him, Nick walked towards Charlotte step by step, saying the lines he had prepared in advance:
"September 2001, 9...is a day of grief for the entire United States and the entire world.
With the collapse of the Twin Towers, more than 3000 American citizens died, and the protracted war in Afghanistan began.
On October 10, a military strike code-named "Operation Freedom" was launched, which was also the first international anti-terrorism war.
At that time, Obadiah Stane, deputy director of Stark Group, was the first to respond actively. Stark Group provided the United Army with numerous advanced weapons, and Justin Hammer was not far behind...
Soon...in the same year, the Afghan war won a complete victory.
But strangely, it didn’t take long before the Seekers successfully revived. They were assisted by an unknown force and obtained old equipment from other countries time and time again.
Taking advantage of the combat environment, the war between the coalition forces is becoming increasingly intense.
Although Afghanistan is poor and backward and unprofitable, arms are the most profitable business..."
Charlotte scratched her ears:
"Sorry, my English is not good. What did you just say? I didn't understand~"
Nick paused with a cold expression, staring at Charlotte who didn't care with his one eye and said:
“We suspect that the Stark Group has always been connected to the Seekers.
Covertly providing weapons and resources to the Seekers to prolong the war so they can dump more weapons on the UN."
"Oh?" Charlotte didn't pretend that she didn't understand. She rubbed her chin and analyzed seriously:
"So, you think Tony Stark went to Afghanistan to meet with B. Larden?"
"No!" Nick continued with a cold face:
"The mastermind behind all this is most likely Stark Group's deputy director, Stani. He was also the mastermind behind Stark's kidnapping...
Stark's newly developed weapons are destroying the balance of the war, which is something Stani will never allow.
At the same time, he also planned to take this opportunity to kill Tony Stark and take over the Stark Group."
"Oh~" Charlotte suddenly realized:
"So Tony Stark deliberately infiltrated the enemy and snatched the client?"
"No... He was kidnapped by terrorists because Obadiah betrayed his route."
"Damn it! I thought it was his uncle who kidnapped him, so... who kidnapped him?"
Nick did not answer, but turned his back to Charlotte and asked:
"Do you know why we asked you to come here?"
Charlotte shook her head in confusion behind Nick.
Nick waited for a moment without receiving an answer, then continued:
"Because we know you're different, and we know you must be hiding some secret, but we don't care.
No matter how you got the news before, we hope you can get new news now...
Help us find and rescue Tony Stark..."
"I do have a secret~" Charlotte's fearless expression was as annoying as it could be.
He waved to Nick:
"Come here, I'll tell you quietly~"
Nick nodded, and Coulson leaned his head closer.
Charlotte looked around and whispered to Coulson:
"Shh~ Don't tell Nick that his head smells like ginger~ But dead hair follicles can't grow hair."
The corners of Coulson's mouth twitched. He glanced at Nick's reflective head and looked at Charlotte speechlessly.
"It's not such trivial matters that we want to know."
"It doesn't matter!" Charlotte frowned and shouted angrily:
"How can this be an insignificant matter? Have you asked Director Lu Dan for his opinion?
This is of utmost importance to him!"
Nick had a cold face and said nothing. Charlotte's voice had already reached his ears through the headset.
"Mr. Parker~" Coulson shook his head and said:
"Stop messing around~ What we need most now is to find Mr. Tony Stark to prevent the situation from getting worse.
No matter what method you use, we need to rescue Mr. Stark as soon as possible..."
"Okay~" Charlotte spread his hands in boredom. He finally realized that these agents were too boring and not as interesting as the demons.
Charlotte said with little interest:
"Although I really don't know where Tony Stark is, I do have a way to find him."
"Oh? What method?" Coulson asked with his eyes shining.
"I actually have the ability to sense malicious intent. As long as someone harbors malicious intent towards me, I can sense the presence of this malicious intent."
After hearing what Charlotte said, the expressions of several agents who were working changed slightly.
But no one dared to kill, instead they suppressed all emotions.
Charlotte continued confidently:
“But I cannot sense anyone who has no ill will towards me.
I predicted a few scenes when I awakened my superpowers~
Although I am not that strong now, as long as you take me to the battlefield in Afghanistan, I can use my malicious perception to successfully find Tony Stark!"
After a brief silence, Nick nodded and said, "Coulson, take him to Afghanistan. I don't care about the process, I just want the result...
Remember, you only have one requirement, and that is speed!"
……
A month later.
A helicopter was hovering in the sky, and Charlotte, wrapped tightly, was flying in the area occupied by the US military.
Coulson, who was also wrapped tightly, sat beside the two agents, a man and a woman.
Coulson asked helplessly:
"How's it going, Charlotte? Have you found where Mr. Stark is?"
"Don't be so anxious, Coulson. If it were that easy, wouldn't I have found it easily a month ago?
This kind of thing is just like the waves washing away the shit. If you don't touch it, how do you know which piece of shit is bigger?
I can only identify where dangerous terrorists are hiding, but how can I be sure if it is the one who kidnapped Stark?"
Looking at Charlotte's explanation, the young agent Ward couldn't help but speak:
"You bastard! I think you're just kidding us!
Either you can't find Tony Stark, or you just don't want to go back to school!"
He shook his head and made a face at Ward.
I took out my phone, took a selfie, and sent it to Gwen in New York.
A holiday trip begins, causing Ghost Spider to disappear after being scolded, and Spider-Man to be persecuted by public opinion after his resurrection.
The citizens thought that these two young superheroes were so heartbroken by the malicious abuse that they gave up their work as superheroes.
Still blaming myself secretly.
As time goes by and the dark tide passes, the crime rate in New York has been rising steadily, making people begin to miss the days when Spider-Man was there.
Afterwards, after returning from her trip, Ghost Spider went out again. Her comeback successfully reversed public opinion. Although the wanted order was still there, more people were willing to believe in her.
Countless people have forgotten Spider-Man’s death fraud and are looking forward to his reappearance.
"Okay, Ward~Charlotte has been working hard, which is much better than us flying around in the sky like headless flies."
"That's right~" Charlotte nodded, snatched the map of Afghanistan from Ward's hand, and smiled at Ward provocatively.
Then he took the red pen and marked a few more red circles on the map that was already full of red circles.
"These places are all gathering places with obvious malicious intent. I'm not sure whether Tony Stark will be here.
We might as well think about the benefit of the past two months. Maybe Tony Stark would be dead by now."
