The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 370 Seeking Help

"I need your help."

After slowly sitting down, Tony spoke these first words with a sincere yet somewhat urgent gaze.

The situation in New York City is so dire that it's far too difficult for Tony and his steel army to completely reverse the chaos, which is why they came here to seek help from Wes.

Wes did not reply.

"Of course it's not free. How much do you want?"

Tony was certain he could offer a price Wes couldn't refuse.

With the Stark family's immense wealth, he believed he could meet whatever demands Wes made.

However, Tony was unaware that his information was far behind schedule.

Wes is no longer the kind of person who would be swayed by worldly money; to him, money is nothing more than a bunch of meaningless numbers and cold metal pieces of paper.

What he pursued and valued were things that touched the very essence of things. Tony wanted to use money to get his help, but in Wes' eyes, this idea was as childish and ridiculous as children playing house.

"I don't think there's anything I can do to help you."

Weiss's tone was calm yet firm, and he directly refused to help.

In his view, the current chaos in New York City and the internal strife among superheroes have little to do with him, and he has no interest in getting involved in these troublesome matters.

Upon hearing this, Tony felt a surge of resentment.

In recent days, he has been working tirelessly to advance the superhero registration bill, but has encountered setbacks everywhere. Most of his former comrades-in-arms have now turned against him, and very few people are willing to support his initiative.

Weiss was the last helper he could find. If he couldn't even get help from Weiss, it would be difficult for the bill to continue to be implemented smoothly.

The current situation desperately needs a strong ally to help advance the superhero registration bill.

Tony knew very well how amazing Wes's strength had been in the previous New York battle. If Wes was on his side, the dissenting voices might be suppressed, and the bill's implementation would be smoother.

"Wes, don't be so quick to refuse."

Tony quickly stood up, his eyes full of earnestness, trying to persuade Wes to change his mind. "You've seen how chaotic New York City is right now. Only by regulating and registering the superheroes can everything get back on track. I know you have concerns, but as long as we work together, we can definitely get this done. And I can assure you, you'll be well rewarded, so you won't lose anything."

Tony continued to talk incessantly, trying to persuade Wes from every angle to change his mind and join the effort to advance the superhero registration bill.

However, Wes had already made up his mind. No matter how Tony tried to persuade him, he didn't intend to get involved in this troublesome matter. He just listened expressionlessly, thinking about how to get rid of Tony.

"Bang"

Just then, the shop door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere inside.

Ross led a group of men in, looking very aggressive.

Ross strode over to the opposite side of Wes, plopped down, and looked arrogant and confident, as if this were his home turf.

Now that Ross has become Secretary of Defense, this promotion has made him appear very confident and he has become increasingly decisive and arrogant.

The soldiers following behind him were all serious-looking and well-trained, equipped with the most advanced weapons available at the time.

What is particularly striking is that they are wearing armor worth millions of dollars.

This is no ordinary battle armor; it is a product that incorporates alien technology and has been further improved and upgraded by the military research team.

With the support of these suits of armor, each soldier can unleash strength no less than Captain America's, and they can also cooperate with each other through the built-in communication and collaborative combat systems to form a powerful fighting force.

Ross sat in his chair, his eyes scrutinizing Wes, and after looking him up and down, he said, "Mr. Irwin, we need your cooperation in an investigation."

Although the tone was still polite, the underlying implication that it could not be more obvious than anyone else's was.

If Wes showed the slightest resistance, the soldiers behind him would immediately take action and use force to make him submit.

Tony frowned as he watched this sudden turn of events, a sense creeping into his heart that things were about to become even more complicated and difficult.

"Secretary Ross..." Tony opened his mouth to say something, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, but Ross rudely interrupted him.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Mr. Stark, do not prevent us from carrying out our official duties."

Ross's face darkened, and he spoke in a stern and unquestionable tone, his eyes fixed on Tony, full of warning.

If you meddle any more, don't blame him for being impolite.

Rose was determined to win this time; he had been planning to get Weiss for a long time.

He knew all too well how crucial superpowers were in the current world situation, and the formidable strength Wes had previously displayed made him extremely covetous.

Ross has always been obsessed with creating super soldiers. In his view, as long as he can figure out the source of Wes's powerful strength, he can use the military's scientific research capabilities and vast resources to continuously produce super soldiers according to its principles. At that time, the whole world will be under the control of the military, and there will be no need to worry about those superheroes being out of control. His ambition will then be realized.

Therefore, Ross would never let go of such an excellent research subject as Weiss.

Moreover, in his mind, even if Wes had considerable strength, he was still just a person. No matter how powerful he was, how could he contend with the powerful force represented by the government?

Even the most renowned superheroes eventually have to submit to the government's rule and obediently follow its arrangements, and Wes is no exception.

At this moment, Ross sat there, his eyes revealing a confident air of certainty. The soldiers behind him were also on high alert, waiting for his order to take action against Wes. The atmosphere in the small shop grew increasingly tense, as if a storm was about to break.

Despite the aggressive stance, Wes remained calm and didn't take Ross and the others seriously. He simply watched quietly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
