I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Your Stark Industries' energy is indeed applicable to the American military industry, making it a giant in the American energy industry."

"But has the decision regarding dumping in various countries been approved by the top leadership in the United States?"

A journalist then took the lead, first praising Stark Industries' successful transformation, before asking a question.

"I'm reiterating that Stark Industries is Tony Stark's company, not a state-owned company."

"We have the capacity to make independent judgments and decisions."

Pepper was well aware of the trouble his words would cause for Stark Industries.

However, she was fearless, because from the moment Tony was ready, the future of Earth belonged to the United States, not to the community of shared destiny.

Does this mean you will not fear any obstacles?

Upon hearing these words, a reporter from a state-owned American news company knew this was big news, so he immediately set a trap, wanting to obtain even more explosive information.

"We at Stark Industries have no intention of stirring up international affairs; we simply hope that our inventions and technologies can benefit mankind."

"So I will strive to move towards this goal."

That concludes the press conference.

"People from all countries who need this information are welcome to contact us."

Pepper didn't fall for the trap and instead directly stated Stark Industries' future goals.

Unless the top leadership in the United States takes forceful action against Stark Industries, they will not actively cause trouble.

Pepper then gave a slight bow and left, ignoring the other reporters' desire to ask more questions.

The news of this press conference immediately caused a stir in the scientific community and elicited strong reactions from various countries.

This is good news for all countries, but they all know that Stark Industries is about to undergo a major upheaval.

No one dared to contact Stark Industries directly at the first opportunity.

Most forces would be wary, but that doesn't mean all forces are.

Therefore, some forces have already sent their subordinates to contact Stark Industries, intending to buy a cosmic translator to take a look.

This virtual translator looks impressive. At a price of one million US dollars, it might be worth the opportunity to advance society.

American politicians and the military also contacted Pepper Potts immediately and directly.

"Miss Pepper Potts."

"This kind of invention should be tested in the United States first, and then widely promoted when the time is right in the future."

General Ross looked at the young and beautiful Pepper Potts and began to speak.

"That's right. As citizens of the United States, you should contribute to America first."

"Take back your decision and hand over the energy technology and translator technology to the military."

"Our military will not treat you unfairly."

“Bring Tony Stark out; we need to talk to him.”

Various politicians and General Ross spoke directly to Pepper.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tony has been taking a lot of time and energy to research this technology and is currently recuperating, so it's inconvenient for him to meet with you."

"Just tell me what you want to say."

"I will pass on the message to Mr. Tony as appropriate."

Pepper spoke with a smile as she addressed a group of people in a video conference at Stark Estate.

"The practice of dumping translators and energy around the world will create chaos in the international situation."

"The entire planet Earth will also become unstable."

"Therefore, Tony Stark must be involved in the UN meeting."

"After extensive review and discussion, we will work together to make the most correct decision."

"Instead of being a rash decision made impulsively through private negotiations by your Stark Industries."

Ross's projection was near Pepper, his words carrying a hint of warning.

"We have no intention of stirring up the international situation."

"The new energy sources that we at Stark Industries have developed can free all of humanity from the burden of energy shortages."

"The Void Translator will eliminate national borders between people, making communication much smoother."

"Mr. Tony's original intention was to see a more harmonious human society."

"Don't you want to see a world like this?"

Pepper felt a sense of disgust seeing General Ross's seemingly righteous but actually ugly selfishness, but she still patiently spoke.

After these words were spoken, General Ross and American politicians dared not speak rashly for a moment.

Because they are eyeing the enormous profits that the virtual translator brings.

They also witnessed firsthand the terrifying ability of the cosmic translator to translate various languages, as demonstrated at the press conference.

This can be used not only for historical research but also for military applications, allowing for a better understanding of information from various countries.

"Of course we would like to see such a world, but the timing is not yet right for the idea of ​​dumping translators all over the world."

"A decision needs to be made after considering many factors."

"Moreover, the practice of energy dumping could very well bring a crisis to the United States, so this matter must be seriously discussed."

"Maintaining the stability of America is the responsibility of every citizen."

"Moreover, Tony Stark was an outstanding inventor."

"The invention of technology may benefit society or bring disaster to society; both need to be examined and evaluated."

Therefore, after some consideration, General Ross also used national and moral constraints to put pressure on Stark Industries.

Chapter 472 Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously

Pepper felt utterly contemptuous of General Ross's attempt to use his national identity to blackmail him.

Previously, the United Nations and the military had tried to seize the blueprints for the Iron Man suit and the energy source from Tony Stark.

However, because Tony did not cause social unrest or unease, he became a superhero with enormous influence in the eyes of countless people.

As a result, the United Nations and the military were unable to stir up public opinion and put pressure on Tony.

Previously, the U.S. military could not directly target Tony, who was seen as a superhero, so the technology remained in Tony's hands.

Later, Tony decided to offer the military some incentives by providing S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military with new energy sources.

The matter was temporarily shelved so that the military could enjoy the benefits of new energy.

Now that Stark Industries plans to dump its products worldwide, it can be said that they've encroached on what the military sees as their own territory.

However, Pepper is not easily intimidated, and the current national strength of the United States cannot frighten her.

It's just that we haven't reached the point of completely breaking off relations yet.

"Although I would very much like to have Mr. Tony meet and speak with you."

"But Mr. Tony has exhausted his energy and has no energy left."

"Furthermore, I am only an acting chairman, so please discuss the talks at a later time."

So Pepper still outwardly revealed a look of "I also want to help you, but I'm helpless."

"Impossible, today only."

“We need to talk to Tony Stark.”

How could General Ross possibly agree with Pepper's suggestion of waiting a few days?

They must stop Tony Stark's decision before he sells the new technology and energy he's researching.

Otherwise, by the time Tony Stark is sold, it will be too late.

“You are all important figures, while I am merely the acting chairman of Stark Industries.”

“Stark Industries is not under my control, so please don’t make things difficult for me.”

"Moreover, America has always been a free country."

"As long as the law is not broken, citizens' freedom will not be restricted, right?"

Pepper appeared to back down upon hearing this, but she remained firm in her stance, saying no and that meant no.

“Normally that would be the case, but Stark Industries has already broken the law.”

“We can charge you with treason and disrupting international security order, and confiscate your property.”

"However, you have only announced the plan now, and have not actually implemented it yet, so there is still room for maneuver."

When General Ross heard that Pepper was still unwilling to let Tony Stark intervene, he stopped pretending and issued a direct threat.

"Let me reiterate."

"After our discussions, Stark Industries' future strategic goal is to develop things that can benefit all of humanity, and we have no intention of disrupting the international situation."

"Furthermore, he never said he wanted to take all of Stark Industries' resources and technology out of America to other countries."

"Therefore, we do not believe that we have committed treason."

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext."

"And now, with our recent publicity efforts, you're trying to frame Stark Industries? People all over the world won't stand for that."

"The United States is one of the major powers today, but the world is not dominated by the United States alone."

Pepper's expression turned extremely serious in the face of General Ross's threat.

Since Ross intends to use morality and righteousness to bind him, and even goes so far as to threaten and coerce him directly.

Pepper, of course, didn't hold back and directly revealed her confidence.

It is inevitable that the American military and politicians will hinder Stark Industries.

However, the methods cannot be so blatant, otherwise America would be burdened with countless infamy.
