Chapter 225: Expo Farce (Part 3)

"Are you sure you sent them an invitation?"

Stark hesitated for a moment and said: "... Pepper sent the invitations. I was busy setting up the exhibits at the time..."

After finishing, he took out his phone and called Pepper. Pepper was busy signing orders with some businessmen attending the expo. After receiving Stark's call, she said unhappily: "An invitation for Hammer Industries? Of course I didn't send one! Didn't you complain last time that their technical level was so poor it reached the Earth's core, and that appearing in front of you was polluting your brain?"

Hanging up the phone, Stark rubbed his hands a bit awkwardly and said: "The development of the matter is slightly beyond expectations. Pepper didn't send an invitation to Hammer Industries..."

"They wouldn't come if you didn't send an invitation? This is too unprofessional, right?" Schiller sighed.

The two "spoilers" who knew the plot in advance could only stand in place and stare at each other. They calculated everything but didn't calculate that Hammer Industries would actually be so law-abiding—not coming to join in the fun if they didn't receive an invitation. Where is your professionalism as a villain?

"Even if Hammer Industries doesn't come, that Ivan Vanko who has a grudge against you should also..."

"BOOM!!!"

The two turned to look at the glass curtain wall. A huge mechanical whip surging with electric light smashed onto the glass curtain wall, and then... it didn't break the glass.

"This is a new technology I just came up with recently." Stark explained: "The larger the area, the greater the strength."

"He doesn't seem to be able to get in." Schiller looked at the huge whip constantly lashing the glass curtain wall of the hall. The onlookers thought this was a performance project Stark had set up and gathered around the glass very excitedly, taking out their phones to start taking pictures.

Stark took out his phone and said to the other end: "Someone is coming to make trouble. Evacuate the crowd first."

When the security guards of Stark Tower rushed in and drove the crowd away, most people didn't understand what was going on. Although they had been shopping for a long time, they clearly didn't expect this expo to end in such an abrupt way.

Many people were unwilling to leave, but they were still driven away by the security guards and evacuated through the emergency exit.

Stark pressed a few times on his phone, and then the corner of the glass curtain wall opened a window. Stark and Schiller stood in place and turned their heads to look at the corner together, but the long-awaited villain didn't appear as scheduled. Schiller said somewhat helplessly: "Can you make some noise so he knows the door is over here?"

Stark covered his forehead, looking at the electric whip that was still constantly lashing the side glass wall, and said: "Do I have to prepare an emergency entrance sign for him?"

Stark, who had been spoiled early due to his high-dimensional perspective, knew that Hammer Industries and Ivan Vanko wanted to play tricks, but he still held the Stark Industrial Expo as scheduled.

But he wouldn't take his own life as a joke, so before holding the industrial expo, he did a comprehensive upgrade to Stark Tower, including but not limited to increasing the building strength, installing new defense systems, using new technology to manufacture new glass curtain walls, preparing evacuation routes, etc.

But the current situation is that the stage is set, the protagonist has appeared brilliantly, but the villain is trapped outside because he can't open the upgraded glass curtain wall. ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
