American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 109 Rejection
"...Well, it seems that if we go to Las Vegas, we can still trust Mr. Stark's face." Kalus sneered.

Tony took the burger handed to him and took a big bite. The chewing sound lingered in the empty room.

"Heh, in the Federation, they can ignore face for SHIELD and the federal government, but not many people dare to ignore face for me." Tony sneered while eating a hamburger, as if he was very confident in the influence of the huge capital flow within Stark Industries on the business world.

What's more, half of the arms market is monopolized by Stark Industries, and among the remaining companies, Stark Industries has a large share of the shares. This is arms, which can easily affect the political situation of a region or a country.

"That kid from the Wayne family... huh, he just relies on the size of his family to accumulate a lot of wealth for him to squander." Tony obviously didn't take Bruce Wayne seriously.

Then, he seemed to realize something, turned around and stared at Kailus seriously.

Kailus felt frightened by his stare.

"What, what's wrong?"

Tony slowly put the burger back on the plate, then took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"You just said you were going to Las Vegas?"

Kailus nodded without hesitation.

Tony frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and pondered:

"Why go there? Leave the search for the remnants of Hydra to Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D."

Tony didn't seem to want to involve Kaelus in this matter.

Kailus shook his head. On the one hand, completely eradicating Hydra was one thing. On the other hand, he might be able to gain some credit by following this operation. After all, the sky-high bounty orders were still flying around, and he needed to get the money.

"...I said it was because of the bounty offered by the Federation, do you believe it?" Kailus sighed dejectedly.

"Oh? Didn't you get one from the president? Oh, I forgot. I used your bonus to rebuild Stark Tower."

"...How about you return the money to me? I won't take the risk anymore."

"That's absolutely impossible. Young people, you have to know that taking more risks is good. And if you take the money back, no one will help me fill the hole in the reconstruction cost of Stark Tower."

When it comes to money, Tony narrowed his eyes and skillfully rejected Kailus' request.

At this time, Nick took the initiative to stand up and speak for Kailus:

"Tony, this time we're going to Las Vegas. It's a special place after all, so we can only take five people with us. If Kailus is here, he can take care of us a little bit."

Judging from the strength revealed when Kailus forced back the Chitauri army, Nick was very sure that there was almost no young man on this planet who was stronger than him.

After all, Nick is the backbone of this operation, and he was the one who initially took the initiative to make suggestions to Tony. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony's collaborator, Nick's voice carries a lot of weight here.

As soon as the dark-skinned chief opened his mouth, Tony fell into deep thought again.

"Well...if it's safe, we can let Steve go with you, right? His shield that can fly around like a toy is quite powerful." Tony gestured in the air, as if teasing Captain America's fighting movements.

Although it was unclear what he meant, it was obvious from his words that he was trying to stop Kailus from going to Las Vegas.

Kailus acted very calm. In fact, he believed that Nick would not abandon him.

Without him, the five-member team sent to Las Vegas probably wouldn't have any say at all, and would probably just end up going through the motions.

He still believed that fists were the hardest thing to do when it mattered most. Seeing Nick's insistent tone, Tony's expression softened a little. It seemed that he was also hesitating.

Because he also knew that he had no reason to stop Kailus from participating in this operation.

Or to be more precise, his reasons are not convenient to say now.

Tony's eyes turned to the shelf with many mechanical models on it. In the secret compartment of the shelf was a switch. Behind the opened secret door was a silver-white suitcase that he had specially hidden.

These days, he has gradually deciphered and translated the message his father Howard left for him.

Although the information has not been fully deciphered, it has allowed him to learn a lot of things that were previously difficult to access.

And among the deciphered materials, he found some... incredible things.

However, he had not figured out how to tell those things to everyone else.

"Okay, Nick, you've got me..."

Tony seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"In that case, it looks like we'll have to add one more person to the ticket to Las Vegas."

"I've already chosen someone... In that case, I'll go talk to the others first. You guys wait a moment."

Although nominally SHIELD was allowed to enter the city for patrol, in reality, all personnel changes were decided by Tony, and now he had to inform the others of the temporary addition of personnel.

Then, Tony took out two documents from the drawer behind him and gave them to Kaelus and Nick respectively.

The report clearly contained information about the Wayne Group, which was probably what Tony had collected in the past few days. Since they were going to let Kailus go with them, there was no need to hide this information.

"These are the things I collected recently. If you have time... you can take a look. I'll go notify the others first."

Kailus took the paper with black words on a white background and stroked the smooth surface with his fingertips. It was still warm, and it looked like it had just been printed. His eyes fell on the paper. There was a striking red seal printed on the upper left corner of the information, symbolizing a top-secret document.

After handing the things to the two of them, Tony turned around and left to take care of his own business.

"Don't mind, Tony is always so irritable." It can be seen that Nick has long been accustomed to Tony's arrogant behavior, but he knows that this Iron Man is still very good to his friends in his heart.

Kaelus naturally understood this, so he did not take Tony's intentional attempt to stop him to heart.

Wow.

After turning over the cover page of the document, a few lines of text came into view.

These are all the gossips about the Wayne family from a few days ago. Young Master Wayne inherited the family fortune at a young age. Like all playboys, most of the reports about him are related to his extravagant life of debauchery.

Including but not limited to, buying a nicely decorated private bank on the roadside on a whim.

In order to practice helicopter flying skills, he invited a retired Air Force general to teach him personally. He also invested in the largest airline in the United States and bought a few helicopters.

There are also people who spent millions of dollars just to move an iceberg in the Arctic Circle that was blocking the view of tourists.

Looking at the news above, Kaelus couldn't help but sigh that, as expected, money ability is sometimes the most enviable ability in the world.
