Chapter 322

Let an army of "Eggheads" charge into battle for him.

Hmm...

That would certainly be very interesting...

Beep—

It was a phone call.

Ye Li glanced at the name and answered without surprise: 【Hello, Tony. Did you call because you're thinking about going to Hawkins to study the space rift?】

【Hey, forget about your Hawkins town. I'm in a terrible situation right now. This damn auto-navigation doesn't know where it sent me...】

Stark, on the other end of the line, said anxiously: 【... Oh, there's snow everywhere... Jarvis, you didn't send me to Siberia, did you...?】

Jarvis chimed in at the right moment: 【Sir, in fact... we are 5 kilometers outside of Rose Hill, Tennessee...】

Stark nodded weakly: 【Ha... better than I thought, but not by much...】

Ye Li teased: 【Sounds like you're about to kick the bucket. Do you need me to pass on any last words to Pepper?】

【Don't mock me right now, Li.】

【I remember warning you, Tony... you have no idea, newspapers about your death are selling quite well right now~】

【That was to be expected... fine, fine, it's all my own doing, but I need your help now, Li. This time, I'm serious...】

Tony said with difficulty: 【I'm a stranger in a strange land here, and most importantly, there's a group of dangerous guys lurking in the shadows... so I can't contact just anyone...】

Ye Li: 【You think I'm not "just anyone"?】

Tony: 【Although I don't want to admit it, you're the most reliable guy I can think of...】

【Hmm?】

Ye Li was very skeptical: 【Really?】

Tony: 【Oh... fine... the most reliable one is Black Spider... you only rank second... if you could contact him to help me, that would be even better...】

【Oh...】

Ye Li leaned back in his office chair and leisurely glanced at the fluorescent green time on his black ring:

【Tsk~ it's almost six o'clock.

I have an appointment with Louise for a dental cleaning at this time, I'm afraid I'll have to decline...

Hmm... I also have an appointment with Kate at seven...

And I have to go back to the manor tonight to comfort my little girlfriends...

Sorry, Tony, my schedule is full, I really can't get away~】

Tony: "..."

(Are you a time management master?)

【Oh, my dear Li,

wouldn't you be willing to spare a little bit of the pleasant time you spend with your girlfriends and lovers to save your good buddy?】

【You're really cheesy... fine, I'll give you an idea...】

As he spoke...

Ye Li glanced at the clones in the culture tanks—

—it seemed like a perfect time to test these clone soldiers; they were transitional samples that were going to be destroyed anyway...

【Black Spider is out of the question...】

Ye Li: 【I'll recommend the latest service project from Silver Sable Security, the "Fearless Mercenary Corps." How about it, Tony? For the sake of old times, I can guarantee you, bulk orders get a discount, and we offer ten times the compensation for any fakes~】

Tony: "...?" (What the hell?)

Jarvis reminded: 【Sir, armor energy is below five percent, system shutting down...】

【Hey, hey, hey!... Jarvis... wait!】

Tony hurriedly gave Ye Li instructions: 【Li, I'll take that "Fearless" group of yours! Money is no object, just help me out! I've sent you my location, hurry up and get here!...】

Beep—

Dial tone.

It looked like Tony's Iron Man suit had shut down.

Clang, clang.

Ye Li tapped his fingers on the table—

The Singaporean head of the research institute quickly scurried over to await orders: "Boss, what are your instructions?"

"Is the equipment sent by Silver Sable Security ready?"

"Don't worry, it's all ready."

"Assemble a batch for those clone soldiers; I want to test your research results."

"Ah! Yes, yes!"

The financier wanted to check the results, so the person in charge was very nervous and hurried off to give orders to the staff below.
