Chapter 365 Chapter 646 Chapter 647 Tony's Judgment

"Uh, sir, sorry, um... sir, please listen to me."

When Happy Hogan heard that his job might be lost, he immediately panicked. After all, his boss with a peculiar personality was really capable of doing such a ridiculous thing.

So he quickly turned his back, covered the microphone with his hands, and explained in a deliberately low voice:

"Sir, I'm working overtime at the company right now... Uh, actually, I wanted to say that there was an emergency just now."

"Emergency?" Tony Stark's tone softened slightly, and he immediately jokingly asked, "What's going on? Did you harass a female intern?"

"No, no, no, sir, that's clearly in the past tense."

Seeing his past exposed, Happy Hogan quickly defended himself seriously, "And that incident also involved you... Because when I told those new interns that I used to be Iron Man's personal bodyguard, do you know how they reacted?"

"How dare those rookies laugh at me!!"

"I could only leave with the last bit of dignity. Now I have a real job, helping you and Pepper take care of the entire [Stark Industries]!!"

Happy Hogan's voice was a little excited, as if he was expressing his grievances.

"Okay, Happy, that's enough..."

Tony Stark didn't want to listen to the other party's long speech on the phone, so he asked directly: "You just said something happened, now tell me...what happened?"

Happy Hogan reacted immediately and reported, "Just a few minutes ago, three trucks carrying 'Chitauri waste' were accidentally hijacked. Two of them exploded on the spot and burned, and the third was blown to the side of the road and severely damaged..."

"so what?"

Tony Stark on the other end of the phone frowned again and asked impatiently, "Are you bothering me just for such a trivial matter?"

"If you dare to answer yes, you will lose your position as Minister of Security immediately!"

For Tony Stark, let alone the destruction of three transport vehicles, he wouldn't even frown even if three hundred or three thousand were destroyed.

Because this little bit of money and this insignificant matter are not enough for a billionaire like him to devote even a little bit of time and attention to.

"Ahem, sir, please listen to me first... After receiving the distress signal from the convoy, under my command, the company immediately dispatched a small team of the [Steel Legion] to the scene."

Happy Hogan kept it a secret, trying to pique his boss's interest. "But guess what we saw there?"

Tony Stark on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, indicating that he didn't want to talk at all... No, he didn't want to pay attention to this guy who was possessed by a drama queen.

Seeing that his boss on the other end of the phone didn't answer, Happy Hogan felt embarrassed, touched his nose, and continued tactfully:
"Well, I think I'd better tell you directly... It's a Spider-Man in a black and white battle suit!"

"To be honest, I didn't recognize him at first, but you know I'm pretty good at recognizing people..."

Happy Hogan had a smug look on his face, as if to say that there was no one in the world he couldn't recognize.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary chatter and get an answer as quickly as possible, Tony Stark sighed helplessly and, with a hint of sarcasm, took the initiative to flatter him, saying, "Yes, you are indeed a master at judging people!"

"That's true."

Happy Hogan shamelessly accepted the other person's words as a compliment, not realizing the irony at all.

The excitement on his face intensified as he continued, "So I looked up information about that Spider-Man, and guess what...it turned out to be the incredibly popular Spider-Woman on the internet lately!"

"[Spider-Woman]?!"

Tony Stark was stunned when he heard this, frowning, and asked in confusion, "Although I don't remember this weird girl, has she ever had any conflicts with Stark Industries or Damage Control?"

As he spoke, he tapped the table beside him with his hand, his eyes full of thought.

"Of course you don't remember her. After all, judging from the speculation on the Internet, she should be just a young chick around 20 years old, not the kind of blonde with big boobs that you like!"

Happy Hogan smiled, a smile that held a hint of complacency, as if he knew his boss's preferences well.

Then, with a slightly more serious tone, he said, "If this was the only identity she had, I wouldn't be calling you at this time... What's really troubling is her other identity."

"Well, another identity? What identity?" Tony Stark asked, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"That Spider-Woman recently officially announced her joining the Vought Group's Super Seven."

Happy Hogan deliberately emphasized his tone, as if he wanted Tony Stark to deeply realize the seriousness of the matter.

But then, as if worried his boss had forgotten what the Super Seven was, he quickly added, "In other words, that little Spider-Man is now a teammate of the unscrupulous Homelander..."

"And according to the footage sent back from the scene, the enemy shot down two of our steel robots with a single strike."

"Happy, send me that video." Tony Stark on the other end of the phone sat up straight and his expression became serious.

"How to send it?"

Happy Hogan was stunned for a moment, then shrugged as if he was helpless, even though Tony Stark opposite him couldn't see it at all.

He spread his hands, his face full of helplessness, "I'm not a genius scientist like you, I don't know how to do that!"

"Happy, there must be someone under you who can do it... Never mind, I'll do it myself!"

Tony Stark shook his head, speechless at Happy's performance
Tony Stark's voice, almost mumbling to himself, came from the other end of the line. "[Jarvis], immediately retrieve the video footage sent back by the [Iron Legion]."

"Yes, sir."

[Jarvis] The magnetic electronic sound rang out, and it was obviously much more reliable than Happy Hogan, the Minister of Security.

After about a minute or so, after Tony Stark finished viewing the entire video, he leaned back in his chair and slowly spoke:

"Relax Happy, I don't think this video alone can prove anything... because I didn't see that Spider-Woman in an attacking stance."

"She seemed to have appeared there unexpectedly. There must be someone else there, right?"

"Sir, are you serious?"

Happy Hogan's eyes widened as he asked in surprise, "She killed two of our steel robots with just one move!!"

His voice rose a few notches, a hint of doubt evident. "That's not killing."

Tony Stark corrected seriously, his eyes fixed on the frozen image on the computer screen, "She just used the spider web to control the movements of the two steel machines!"

"And when faced with the siege from the other steel machines, she never fought back, but simply ran away... I don't think she was the one who destroyed the convoy."

"do you know?"

Happy Hogan obviously disagreed with the other party's point of view. His brows were twisted into a knot, and he retorted stubbornly:

"I think you should really pay close attention to the development of this incident. After all, those are all the property of Stark Industries."

"But now you're devoting all your energy to that completely unrelated project, and even building a brand new AI for the [PPDC Organization] for free. In my opinion, this is simply outrageous..."

But before Happy Hogan could finish his rant, Tony Stark ruthlessly interrupted him, saying, "Okay, Happy, let's just follow the normal investigation process..."

"That's it. I'm going to miss you in between my work here."

"I miss you too."

Happy Hogan continued chattering, his face full of nostalgia, "But I miss the old you. Now you hang out with your superhero friends all day. I don't even know what's going on with you."

"The world has become increasingly strange..."

"Sorry, Happy, I have to hang up." Tony Stark interrupted again: "Also, do you have a stun gun with you?"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking?" Happy Hogan asked confusedly.

"[Jarvis] just told me that there seems to be a girl in the Human Resources Department trying to steal the remaining printed records in the printer. I think you should go over there and teach this corporate spy a lesson now."

After saying that, Tony Stark hung up the phone. That decisive action seemed to tell Happy Hogan that the matter was settled.

"gentlemen?!"

Happy Hogan stared at the hung-up call in a daze for several seconds.

After thinking for a while, he gave it to his boss, Pepper Potts... uh, maybe it should be said that he was the 'new boss'.

After all, the other party is now the real CEO of [Stark Industries]!

So he picked up the phone again, dug out the number and dialed, "Hello, Boss, I'm working overtime at the company right now... Uh, actually, I wanted to say that there was an emergency just now!!"

There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if he was expecting Pepper Potts on the other end of the phone to give him a solution that was completely different from Tony Stark's.

…………

……

a few days later.

Under the pitch-black night, a cold wind howled across the entire city, as if it was going to swallow everything.

Escorted by two police cars, a police van specially used to transport criminal suspects slowly drove out of the Queens Police Station.

The convoy drove along the street and entered Ravencraft Prison on Rikers Island between Queens and the Bronx.

[Ravencraft Prison] is the largest private prison in [New York], covering an area of ​​200 acres, standing on this land like a dark fortress.

There are a lot of cells inside, which can accommodate nearly 5,000 criminals.

The interior of this large prison is roughly divided into ten prison blocks, separating prisoners of different genders and ages.

However, even so, many low-risk prisoners are still treated like animals, just like in other prisons, with dozens of them forced to squeeze into the same small cell.

At most, there would be as many as 50 beds in a cell of less than square meters, and the entire cell was filled with a disgusting odor.

what?
You said it’s too crowded for dozens of people to live together?

Do you always feel like someone is staring at your anus when you sleep?
It doesn’t matter, as long as you have money and are willing to pay, the prison management will immediately arrange a clean and spacious single room for you.

The more you spend, the better the room!
If you are financially strong enough, you can even enjoy a top-of-the-line presidential suite that is no different from the ones outside!

In the presidential suite, whether it's fine wine or beautiful women, whatever you want, it's all here...

Even if you are a drug addict and want to take a puff in there, the prison management will take the initiative to provide you with expensive but extremely pure genuine goods for you to enjoy.

In a nutshell, as long as you have money, there is almost no difference between being in Ravencraft Prison and staying outside!

No, I should say there are some differences... After all, here in this prison, there is a regular guard force with live ammunition to protect your safety. It is much safer and more comfortable than the chaotic streets outside!
However, this so-called "comfort" must be purchased at the cost of money.

“Get off in order!!”

Two heavily armed police officers opened the car door and waved to the prisoners in the car.

They were dressed in black police uniforms, wearing helmets, holding guns in their hands, and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Immediately afterwards, Adrian Toomes, wearing an orange prison uniform and handcuffed and shackled, walked down first with a gloomy expression.

His face was filled with frustration and unwillingness; his former ambitions had now turned into nothing.

Behind him followed all his men except the Tinker Phineas Mason.

But compared to the gloomy expression on Adrian Toomes' face, the expressions on everyone else's faces were all very relaxed, as if they had just escaped a disaster!

They got out of the car laughing and joking, without any of the tension and fear they had when they committed the crime before. It felt as relaxing as if they were home.

Yes, Phineas Mason was finally arrested by the police...but it was not because of Gwen, but because he was betrayed by the men in the same carriage with him.

There was no way around it, because these cowardly guys had already been scared by the lizard Peter.

So after being sent to the police station, the police didn't have to spend any effort at all. They just confessed everything they knew... even the color of Adrian Toomes' underwear.
