"Yes, not bad. We all succeeded today, didn't we? Wait for the stock appreciation. And there's no problem with our game selling well," Wesley said.
"Isn't it free? How to make money?" Tony Stark asked.
"Skin, cheap skin. Of course, there are also expensive ones, runes, heroes, and so on. If you don't want to wait, you can buy them with money. If you don't have money, you can only slowly endure it. Do you understand?"
"I see. The idea of a genius, having a large customer base, and at the same time being able to make use of people's hearts. You are really an agent. Now I believe it. Look at my new car, the new model this year."
"Is there a beauty attached?" A beauty stood next to Tony Stark's new car, leaning against his door.
"Oh, I didn't ask about that, Hogan? Is this attached?"
"I don't know. We can ask." Tony Stark's driver, Hogan, is a fat guy, a very interesting guy.
The three of them walked over. Wesley's sports car was next to it, but it was last year's model. He didn't have the hobby of changing cars often, and he didn't like convertible sports cars. Tony Stark's R8 V10 wasn't for him.
"Bevord." The beauty introduced herself, and the three men surrounded her. Wesley asked directly, "Do you buy a sports car for the beauty?"
"Haha, Wesley, you're so interesting. Actually, I'm curious too," Tony Stark echoed.
"My profession is law enforcement officer. This is my badge. Do you have any questions?"
"Oh…" Tony Stark put away the roof of the sports car and sat in the driver's seat. Wesley returned to his car. "So you're here?"
"I'm here for you. This is a subpoena. You are ordered to attend the hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." The beautiful woman smiled at Tony Stark.
"Okay, Hogan, how far is this place from D.C. (Washington, D.C.?"
"Two hundred and fifty miles."
"Wesley, it's 250 miles to D.C. How about we see who gets there first?" Tony Stark shouted to Wesley in the sports car next to him.
The number 250 terrified Wesley. "How many kilometers?"
"Ah? Why do you ask? More than 400 kilometers."
"Okay, we'll see who gets there first. But where do we meet when we get there?"
"The Sofitel Hotel in Lafayette Square. It's closest to the White House."
"No more questions." Wesley took out his special phone and turned on the route instructions. Then he stepped on the accelerator and set off. He didn't care about Tony Stark behind him. He set off and soon came to the highway and stepped on the accelerator.
It took him two hours to cover a distance of more than 400 kilometers. This was the first time he had run so fast. He went straight to the hotel and waited at the entrance. He bought a can of Coke and drank it.
Tony Stark arrived an hour later. "When did you get here?"
Wesley looked at his watch. "It arrived an hour ago, but is your release new?" Tony Stark's hair was very "flying."
"I didn't even have time to rebuild the roof to chase you. How can you be so fast?"
"Nothing is impossible. This is the first time I've driven so happily. The highway suits my car. Let's go in and rest. Look at you." Wesley mocked him.
The night passed uneventfully. At nine o'clock the next day, they were on time for the hearing. Wesley was sitting next to him.
This was the first time he had attended a meeting like this, and this congressman obviously looked like Hydra. Wesley was wondering if he should arrest him first, and this meeting should be Hydra's strategy to get the Iron Man Armor. If they got the Iron Man Armor, what if they copied countless pieces? Just thinking about it was terrifying!
"Mr. Stark, please answer the question, do you have a special weapon?" the congressman asked.
"I didn't. Of course, it depends on what you think is a weapon."
"Iron Man is a weapon, right?"
"What I invented is not a weapon."
'So how are you going to describe it?'
"Uh… it can be considered an advanced prosthetic, which is the best adjective I can find." Tony Stark's answer made everyone laugh, and Wesley was no exception. The effect was much stronger than in the movie.
"It is a weapon. If you prioritize the well-being of your people, you should give it to the American people."
"Don't even think about it. I am Iron Man, and Iron Man is me. Do you want me to give myself up? Is this a job? Do I need to wear a set of advanced prosthetics to do community service?" Another burst of laughter.
"I'm not a weapons expert, but we have a Mr. Justin Hammer, one of the main suppliers of the Defense Department." Wesley looked back. It was true that this guy was a stupid guy. He really didn't know how his company had developed.
The two of them began a verbal exchange. Then Justin Hammer showed some satellite images and was exposed by Tony Stark.
Wesley, on the other hand, spoke up. "Permission to speak, Senator."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mr. Tony Stark's partner. We opened a new company together. I have a lot of questions about the subject of this meeting. First, the energy problem. Iron Man's energy comes from the small reactor on Tony's chest that keeps him alive. This is a huge step forward, representing absolute wealth. So do you want to take it?"
"Without this energy, the Iron Man Armor is nothing. Without a powerful energy source, it can't do anything. How can you solve this problem? Without energy, the Iron Man Armor is an advanced prosthetic. Tony is right about this. New energy represents infinite wealth. The United States government can't afford it. I'm done."
"That's great, man. Do you see that? That's the difference between a genius and you idiots. I am Iron Man. I can maintain the peace of the United States. You want my product? Don't be delusional, but I have helped you a lot. I can stop the nuclear threat." Tony Stark stood up and faced all the media behind him. "I can maintain the peace of the world alone."
Many people got up and applauded. Americans are full of hero complexes in their bones. They like heroes. "What else do they want me to do? I'm already here. I tried to work with these girder clowns, but what can they do?" After humiliating the senator, Tony Stark waved at Wesley and the two of them walked out.
