People In Marvel, System Attackers

Chapter 17 The reason why the analysis makes sense is to know the answer in advance

As expected of Stark’s assistant, Pepper made a million USD check in front of Mike without blinking.

Skye leaned over from behind Mike, head over his shoulders, eyes close to the check: “Is this true?”

I didn’t realize that his chest and Mike’s back were tightly pressed together, just like a lover holding his waist from his back and hugging him tightly.

Please forgive Skye, I have never seen a check for one million USD. After dropping out of school, Skye has been on the streets to beg for a living, and he has seen too many punches and knives for one hundred dollars, and two little gangs smashed their heads for ten thousand dollars.

Mike collected the check, put a finger on Skye’s forehead, and pushed her away.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, it’s not your part anyway.”

“whispering sound!”

It suddenly occurred to Skye that Old Earle had said that Mike’s job was dangerous. Skye didn’t care about it at the time, thinking that Mike was a scumbag at any time.

“Millions of USD commission should be very dangerous.” Skye began to worry about Mike.

Pepper said: “Since Mr. Tang has collected the money, can you talk about what he intends to do? Isn’t it against the rules?”

“Can.”

Mike’s gaze fell on Pepper’s bodyguard. At the moment, Harpy was not fat yet, but rather stocky.

“Is there any problem?” Hapi felt inexplicable.

“There is a problem.”

Mike’s answer was unexpected, “If I remember correctly, this Mr. Bodyguard…”

“Harpy Hogan.” Harpy introduced himself.

“This Hapi is Mr. Stark’s bodyguard and driver, right?”

“right!”

As Stark’s bodyguard, Harpy often shows up in public and has a high reputation.

“So, why were you not by your side when Stark was attacked?”

Hapi darkened, very regretful.

“I’ll answer this question for him.” Pepper took the question. “Tony asked him to stay and protect me.”

“Do you doubt me?” Hapi asked.

“Can’t it?” Mike asked rhetorically.

“Yes, as long as it helps to find Mr. Stark.” Harpy wasn’t annoyed.

Harpy is not so much Stark’s bodyguard, as it is a trusted friend, just like Pepper’s assistant. If Harpy wants to be against Stark, there are at least a hundred better ways.

Mike didn’t doubt Hapi, just pure curiosity.

In the movie, Hapi helped Stark get his luggage on the plane, but he didn’t appear in Afuhan.

“The information is limited, only some immature ideas.” Mike said.

“If you don’t understand anything, you dare to receive one million USD…” Skye muttered, his voice was very small, only Mike heard it.

Mike looked back at her and continued: “According to the news, when the convoy was attacked, Mr. Stark was sitting in the first car?”

Normally, the protected target will be in the middle of the convoy, front and back guards.

Pepper said: “It’s Tony who temporarily transfers. He doesn’t like…constraints.”

Constraint is a very euphemistic term, but it should be said to be self-assertive.

This time it was tied to Stark’s own death.

“First of all, if the attacker’s goal is to kill Stark, why would he take Stark away? If not, why would the missile directly attack Stark’s vehicle? So…”

“I am inclined. The employer did not tell the attacker that there was Stark in the convoy. The attacker only discovered Stark after the attack and kidnapped…”

“Wait.” Harpy interjected, “There is no evidence that there is a mastermind behind this attack.”

Mike motioned to Hapi to stay calm, and asked: “Mr. Stark’s route in Afghanistan is strictly confidential, right?”

“Yes.” Harpy nodded.

Mike continues to analyze:

“So someone revealed the whereabouts of the convoy to the perpetrator of the attack, but the assailant did not know that there was Stark in the convoy, indicating that the planner and perpetrator were probably not the same, but just an employment relationship.”

“Also, Mr. Stark has been abducted for so long, but no one has contacted you for ransom or other requests. Why?”

Pepper and Harpy’s face changed drastically.

Mike knew that they wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly said, “It’s not what you think, Mr. Stark must be alive.”

The two looked at Mike hopefully.

Mike explained: “If Mr. Stark dies unfortunately, he must show off his urinary sex as a terrorist. I haven’t seen a major attack, a bunch of big and small terrorists. Do the elements claim to be responsible for this… And, even if you redeem Mr. Stark’s body, you must be willing to pay an astronomical amount. Mr. Stark is still alive, I am sure of this.”

I have to say that Mike’s analysis makes sense.

All the time, Pepper heard words like “uncertain”, “unable to judge”, “waiting for the next step”, “will not give up” and so on. At the moment when Mike was sure that Stark was still alive, even if it was only a theoretical analysis, Pepper’s emotions finally broke out, covering his face with his hands and crying loudly.

Mike awkwardly said to Harpy, “I don’t usually cry women.”

Harpy gave Mike a grateful look.

After Stark’s disappearance, Pepper’s mental state was very bad, but it was good for her to force her to vent her frustrated emotions.

Then Skye pinched Mike hard from behind.

Mike: (O_O)?

Where did you provoke you?

Skye said in his heart: “What does it mean to not make women cry? What are the women who are in the bed who make you cry and howl? Scum! Scum! Scum!”

After ten seconds, Pepper controlled his emotions, “Sorry, I lost my mind, please go on, Mr. Tang.”

She deserves to be a strong woman who can control the Stark Group. She returned to normal so quickly.

Skye handed out the tissues intimately.

“Thank you.” Pepper did not forget to thank.

Mike continued: “It’s not that the attackers didn’t blackmail. After they found out that the employer had concealed information, their first blackmail object was not you, but the employer.”

“With Ability to get the whereabouts of Mr. Stark, how many people who have the ability to hire terrorists in the Middle East, and who can benefit from Mr. Stark’s death?”

Mike shook his fingers: “Stark Group internal, commercial competitors, military…no more than ten. If you exclude a few based on the actual situation, you should be able to reduce it to five…”

“Rody!”

“Stanney!”

“Impossible.” ×2.

At the same time, the two denied their guesses.

Roddy is a good friend of Stark, the military liaison of the Stark Group. What is the benefit of Stark’s death?

And Roddy was in the convoy at the time of the attack. Once Stark dies, Roddy will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat, and later transferred to not knowing which Horn Gada does clerical or logistical work, and his future is not bright.

As for Obadiah Steinney… his relationship with Tony is like relatives.

Mike didn’t say much, just quoted Holmes: “Once all impossible conclusions are ruled out, then the rest, no matter how bizarre and unbelievable, must be the irrefutable truth.”

Pepper and Harpy fell silent at the same time.

“If you find the man behind the scenes, you naturally know the identity of the attacker, and maybe even the location of Mr. Stark directly.”

Mike said: “I need a little preparation time, and then set off immediately. Domestic investigations can only be done by you, um, it’s better to pull on Phil Coulson.”

Pepper said: “Tony’s private jet can take off within an hour.”

Pepper took out the checkbook, scribbled the amount of seven zeros, and said, “As long as Tony can be rescued, there is no upper limit on funding.”

Now Pepper is full of confidence and expectation for Mike.

Mike didn’t accept the check, “Said one million USD, no additional money. People, we must speak credit.”

When he said this, Mike’s heart was bleeding.

Hapi froze for a moment, and began to feel that Mike was very obsessed with money. How do you think money is like dirt now?

Pepper left a tablet, and J.A.R.V.I.S will put the collected information on the tablet for Mike to inquire.

Time is running out and we will split up.
