Chapter 106

After all.

Although there had been video evidence and authentication before.

It was still just speculation.

The video could have been synthesized.

But now.

Tony Stark, the man himself, had personally admitted it.

It could naturally be confirmed.

After all.

Given his status, he wouldn't joke about such things.

Beside him.

Rhodes, seeing the scene spiral out of control, said quickly: "Today’s press conference is over." Then, he hurriedly pulled Tony away: "Let’s go, Tony."

Although he was somewhat resentful of Tony.

For not reading from the script.

But the two were good friends, after all.

In this situation, it wasn't suitable to stay.

"Then, what about Superman?"

At this moment, a voice came through.

"Since Iron Man is real, is Superman real?"

Looking toward the sound.

Tony saw.

That female reporter whose name he couldn't remember was looking at him.

Tony smiled.

"Of course he’s real."

"He is a shareholder of our Stark Industries, and he is also Superman."

"We are saving the world, after all."

"Of course, to be precise."

"I was late for that incident."

Beside him.

Rhodes saw many reporters even trying to rush the stage.

And hurriedly dragged Tony away.

Because of Tony Stark’s statement.

The entire press conference, with over a hundred reporters, erupted into a frenzy.

Judging by their posture, it was as if they were about to storm the podium.

Seeing this, Rhode immediately grabbed Tony Stark to make a run for it.

The two ran wildly all the way to the backstage area.

Rhode pointed at the television, which showed the chaotic scene of the press conference.

He said irritably, "Tony, look at the mess you've made!"

"Didn't we agree beforehand that you would just read from the script?"

Tony looked relaxed and tried to soothe him, "Hey, stay calm, buddy."

"Didn't you hear what was said just now?"

"It was that reporter who said first that no one would believe the 'making a movie' story."

"I thought so too."

"We can't treat those people like fools, so I had no choice but to tell the truth."

"You can't blame me for this."

Tony Stark attempted to shift the blame.

"Oh..."

Rhode was speechless and sighed.

However, he also knew.

There was nothing he could do about Tony.

"Fine, let's hurry and leave through the back door now."

As he spoke, Colonel Rhode seemed to suddenly remember something.

He glanced around, "Where is General Ross?"

Tony shrugged, "Who knows."

"Maybe you closed the door too fast, and he couldn't make it in time at his age?"

After saying this, Tony headed straight for the back door.

Beside him, Pepper saw this and quickly followed.

Rhode glanced at the television nearby.

Sure enough, he saw General Ross being surrounded by many reporters.

As one of the three spokespeople.

The first two had already left.

The reporters naturally had no choice but to question the one remaining.

Even though.

General Ross had several soldiers protecting him.

But the number of reporters was simply too high.

Even if the soldiers' combat skills were incomparable to those of ordinary people.

With a full one or two hundred reporters, a few soldiers simply couldn't hold them back.

Moreover, the cameras were still rolling.

It was impossible for them to actually use force.

They could only try their best to protect General Ross.

"Oh my god!"

Rhode exclaimed, opened the door, and went to help.

……

A reporter shoved a microphone into Ross's face and asked.

"General, what is your take on Tony Stark's statement?"

Ross's face was gloomy, but he maintained his politeness.

"Sorry, I am not him, I don't know."

"General, what are your thoughts on Iron Man and Superman?"

"Any comments?"

"Sorry, no comment."

……

On the television.

General Ross was being besieged by the reporters' "long guns and short cannons."

Even though he wanted to leave.

And had people protecting him nearby.

He couldn't get out in front of one or two hundred reporters.

Furthermore.

He had to be questioned by reporters on things he couldn't answer.

Tony Stark had just revealed his identity as Iron Man.

So, the focus of the reporters' attention was now entirely on that.

Not a single reporter asked about the Hulk, the Abomination, or the damage to the streets that night.

Not a single reporter asked about the losses on the streets.

While Ross felt helpless, there was also a trace of relief in his heart.

These reporters.

Seemed to have no interest in the Hulk, the Abomination.

Or the situation regarding the economic losses.

In that case, didn't that mean it was none of his business anymore?

Seeing this situation.

General Ross felt.

Tony revealing his identity as Iron Man didn't seem like an entirely bad thing.

At the very least, his pressure was much lower.

With no one paying attention to him, he was naturally fine.

……

"Tony actually dragged me into this too."

Looking at the chaotic scene on the television screen.

Karl raised an eyebrow.

However, he didn't care.

After all.

He had told Tony before.

Say whatever he wanted to say.

Moreover, Karl hadn't hidden his identity from the start.

Which meant he held an indifferent attitude toward the exposure.

After thinking for a moment.

Karl checked the stock of Stark Industries.

Sure enough, he found.

That after Tony Stark officially admitted his identity.

The stock of Stark Industries had once again seen explosive growth.

The current market value.

Was only slightly lower than before Tony Stark was kidnapped.

Presumably, as time passed.

The value of the stock would only get higher and higher.

……

After watching the stock market for a while, Karl entered the chat group.
