Chapter 232 Iron Man 1 End

"SHIELD? What kind of organization is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

"This is too blatant! Are they just trying to fool the public?!"

"Isn't this the usual style of these officials? When something goes wrong, they just find an excuse to cover it up!"

"Are we using taxpayers' money to provide you with this kind of alibi? This is the second time, including the last time!"

"I remember Tony Stark announced that he was Iron Man. Why is it different here?"

The American people were extremely angry about this. They felt they had been deceived and demanded an explanation from this so-called SHIELD.

There were also people who felt very confused because this was different from what they had imagined.

Egghead helplessly watched the overwhelming discussion about SHIELD on the Internet, thinking about how to solve this matter.

If possible, Lu Dantou didn't want to be exposed to the world's eyes, because it would bring them a lot of trouble, but the current situation seemed to be beyond his control.

[After Coulson left, Pepper turned to Tony with a smile, "Let's put this on a show!"]

【"You know, it's not that bad! Although I don't think I'm Iron Man!" Tony walked over to Pepper. 】

[Pepper helped Tony put on his coat and said with a smile: "Of course you are not Iron Man!"]

[“I am!” Tony really likes the name Iron Man. ]

[“You’re not!” Pepper knew Tony’s character and was afraid that he might not play by the rules, so she said with certainty.]

[“Okay! It’s up to you! You know, if I were Iron Man! And I have a girlfriend like you who knows my true identity!”]

[“She will definitely collapse because she’s always worried that I’ll die! But she will also be proud that I’m her man!”]

[Tony said this while biting the small card. After putting on his clothes, Tony turned around and looked at Pepper affectionately.]

[“She will be very conflicted too! Because this will only make her fall in love with me more! Tell me you have never thought about that night!”]

【"Which night?" Hearing this, Pepper raised her head slightly and looked at Tony. 】

[“You know!”]

[Pepper narrowed her eyes and looked at Tony with a slightly unfriendly expression.]

"You mean the night we danced? We went up on the roof and I asked you to come downstairs and get me a drink and you left me there?"

[Tony laughed awkwardly and was speechless. Looking at Tony's expression, Pepper said, "I guess so!"]

[After tidying up his clothes, Pepper glared at him and asked, "Are you done, Mr. Stark?"]

[“Yes! I’m done! Miss Potts!”]

"Hahahaha! Tony Stark, this is so embarrassing! I didn't even think of Pepper at that time. I didn't expect that he would just leave Pepper alone on the roof!"

Otto slapped his thigh and laughed at Tony. He actually brought up this matter. No wonder Pepper was angry.

"It seems that his IQ is high, but his EQ is not that good!" Rose chuckled. This would be difficult for any woman to accept!

"But the SHIELD in their world might be in trouble! Maybe they will be scolded to death by the taxpayers?" Otto knew with his toes that the people would not let it go.

This kind of repeated deception will cause the official credibility to drop significantly, and the protagonist is Tony Stark, who has risked his life many times to avoid crises.

It is difficult for them to blame Tony Stark, so they can only point their guns at SHIELD, which helped him prepare his alibi. What's more, Coulson said that he had done it many times.

Because people in their world alone have doubts about their press conference, not to mention the people in the main universe of the MCU, who have a history of this.

[“Next! Mr. Stark has prepared a statement, but he will not answer any questions! Thank you!” Rhodes said and gave the stage to Tony. ]

[Tony came up with a small card and said to the reporters, "You haven't seen me in public for a while!"]

[“I’ll just read from my script!” Tony’s words made the reporters laugh.]

[Tony coughed twice and began to read the script, "Some people speculate that I was personally involved in the incident that happened on the highway and on the rooftop!"]

[He had only said two sentences when he was interrupted by Christine Everhart.]

[“I’m sorry! Mr. Stark! But do you really expect us to believe that was a bodyguard in armor? He appeared appropriately in armor, and in fact you would normally…”]

[Tony responded before she finished her words: "I know what you mean! It's okay to question official statements! But you shouldn't speculate! For no reason, call me a...superhero!"]

[“I didn’t say you were a superhero!” She immediately raised her hand to deny it.]

[“No… That’s good. If that were the case, it would be too absurd! Too outrageous!” For some reason, Tony felt rebellious when he heard her deny herself.]

[“I’m not cut out to be a hero! It’s obvious that I have too many character flaws! I’ve done too many wrong things! I’ve been a bad influence!” Tony’s words gradually strayed off the topic.]

[Hearing this, Rhode had to quietly remind him: "Just read according to the script!"]

[“Yeah! okay!” Tony nodded and picked up the small card again, “In fact!”]

[Tony looked at the contents of the small card, and after a long silence, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he threw it away.]

[“I am Iron Man!!!”]

[As soon as Tony said this, the whole audience went wild, and all the reporters stood up and rushed to ask Tony all kinds of questions.]

[Only Christine Everhart was still sitting cross-legged in the chair quietly looking at Tony.]

[After she gave Tony the photo of Gumiera and questioned him, Gumiera was attacked by an iron armor not long after, and the same thing happened to Stark Industries last night.]

[She was smart and quickly combined Tony's personality and abilities to roughly guess that Iron Man was Tony Stark. She knew Tony's personality very well.]

[That’s why he interrupted Tony at the press conference today and hinted whether he was really willing to follow the official statement. Tony really stopped following the rules and revealed his identity directly at the press conference.]
