Chapter 1475 - The Phone Company’s “Big Problem”

Chapter 1475: The Phone Company’s “Big Problem”

After the battle, the special force team’s replaceable gear had immediately been divided up and carted off to various agencies.
But when those agencies triumphantly brought the gear back, they discovered that the most important energy cores and control chips inside had disappeared.
It wasn’t an automatic self-destruct program; the most important components had simply vanished into thin air.
Then, Tony received a message from Batman, telling him that the gear which had the bigshot’s stamp on it was all discarded parts. If he liked, he could collect a few.
Tony cursed inwardly when he heard that.
That was because Stark Industries had brought back quite a few parts, but the tycoon hadn’t had time to examine and analyze them yet.
Later, Tony also discovered that the parts were stamped with a weird yellow and red seal, and the word “retrieved” was very eye-catching.
The bigshot had personally shown up to take away the big worm battleship.
He was a tall and thin old man who was about fifty years old. He wore a black suit and leaned on a distinguished walking cane.
This bigshot appeared among the dusty New Yorkers like a dazzling firefly in the dark.
He walked unhurriedly through the crowd, and the surrounding police officers turned a blind eye as he walked into the building.
A moment later, the battleship that was over 100 meters long and which weighed almost a million tons disappeared.
Not only that, the eye-catching “retrieved” sign at the crime scene was a clear indication that it was the bigshot who had done it.
After this news got out, Tony and Nick Fury were the calmest.
The bigshot had once quietly taken away the goods on a large cargo ship; taking away a big worm battleship was no less difficult.
However, they had completely different thoughts.
The tycoon directly asked Batman if the bigshot had space technology, while Nick Fury immediately used a private channel to consult a company called Pym Technologies.
Of course, neither of them got a concrete answer.
Luke didn’t have to worry about what they thought.
A bigshot should act like one. If he didn’t keep people guessing, what kind of bigshot would he be?
He himself didn’t know the thoughts of the bigshot who sold everything. He was only responsible for creating the mystery and air of the bigshot behind the scenes; it was everyone else who would naturally feel in the blanks.
Hearing that it was the bigshot, Tony had a complicated expression, and didn’t bring up the “insider” issue again.
Luke wasn’t wrong at all. In the Avengers, Tony was only a consultant; it was impossible for him to carry out some bigshot’s “assignment.”
It was because Nick Fury wanted Steve to be the leader that he came up with this sort of “sidekick” arrangement for the tycoon.
On this side, Batman and the bigshot dealt in favors and now credit, and were friends.
Tony and the bigshot didn’t have much of a connection; if Tony joined them, he would purely be a lackey.
At that point, Luke had basically achieved his goal for finding Tony. After asking for Phil’s new contact, he went down and left.
Watching the elevator go down, Tony asked, “How is it? Jarvis, are you sure it’s Bruce?”
Jarvis said, “His speech pattern and body language are 97.5% similar. I can confirm that he’s Mr. Bruce Wayne.”
Tony curled his lip. “This guy made rapid progress in nanotechnology just to hide his identity.”
Jarvis said, “Yes. However, there probably isn’t a way to shrink his build, only increase it.”
Tony took a sip of his wine. “It seems I need to invest more in nanotechnology as well.”
Jarvis asked, “Should I set up a project?”
Tony said, “Not for now. Let me think about it.”
Jarvis asked, “Sir, there’s currently no need for you to change your appearance, is there?”
Tony said, “No, but nanotechnology is very convenient, isn’t it? If I use it on my suit, I won’t have to carry a big box around with me.”
…
After leaving Stark Tower, Luke called Phil and quickly settled on a meeting place.
Phil would only be free in three days. Clearly, the workload for a secret investigation was huge.
Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. Luke decisively had his clone go home and rest, while he and Selina got off work early.
After being busy for so many days, they both needed some time to themselves.
Selina went shopping with Elsa and Elizabeth while Luke called Jenny to confirm a meeting at the phone company.
After the Battle of New York, Jenny had wanted to talk to him about a lot of things, but Luke truly hadn’t had the time.
He wasn’t familiar with triple-mode operation yet, and had been busy completing the breakthrough for 60 Strength a few days ago. After talking to Tony today, he finally had some free time.
He drove leisurely to the phone company, but didn’t go in immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the sky.
A helicopter flew over and landed on the top of the phone company building.
Fine, CEO Jenny was also very busy and didn’t spend much time at the company.
She said earlier that she was at the company, but Luke had heard a few people talking around her, some of whom were New York officials.
This sort of talk wasn’t about business, so Jenny rarely had talks at the company.
Officials wouldn’t drop by the company to chat unless they were investigating or arresting people.
Luke made his way over unhurriedly.
When he reached the CEO’s lounge on the top floor, Jenny was making coffee in the kitchen in a casual sweater and elastic pants.
Clearly, the CEO was deliberately acting relaxed.
Luke considerately didn’t expose the fact that she had just returned via helicopter, and also didn’t mention that part of her sweater was tucked into her pants.
In any case, the view was very round and beautiful.
Jenny quickly made coffee and poured it for him. “You’re really busy. Did you create this smartphone as a convenient way to put some distance between us?”
Luke smiled and took a sip of the coffee. “Of course not. It’s just a tool for your satisfaction.”
Jenny sighed. “I bet you wanted to say ‘toy.’ Otherwise, why haven’t you come over to take a look when there are so many things that require your say?”
Luke shrugged. “Don’t I have you? When it comes to money, you can decide. If you like it, you can give yourself some bonus dividends or cash at the end of the year.”
Jenny glared at him angrily. “Is this about money?”
As soon as she said that, she couldn’t help but slap her forehead. “Fine, it really is all about money.”
Luke smiled. “No rush. Take your time.”
There was nothing Jenny could do about Luke’s super thick skin. She could only hatefully sit on him, pick up her coffee and start talking about “money.”
Money basically came down to two things – how to earn it and how to spend it.
Currently, Titanium Phone Company urgently needed to deal with the latter, since it was making money faster and faster..
