I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

He had dealt with the U.S. military many times and was well aware of their ugly nature.

These two are already the best and most normal endings; at least they still retain some reputation after their deaths were staged.

The worst outcome would be that the United States would not only kill him and replace Stark Industries, but also brand him with a stain that would be impossible to erase for all eternity.

These are all possible outcomes he might face after being defeated while in a weaker position.

“Tony Stark, there’s still room for negotiation…”

Ross sensed Tony Stark's undisguised murderous intent and, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, dared not threaten him any further. Instead, he wanted to negotiate.

He shouldn't have gone to Tony Stark's door; that way he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a predicament.

This led him to encounter Tony Stark, who was suspected of no longer being human, putting him in a situation with no way out.

Would you negotiate with an anthill that could be wiped out at any time?

"But don't worry, you won't be the last human scumbag. There will be many more scumbags who will go to hell to join you."

Tony grabbed Ross by the hair, turned Ross's face toward him, and said, word by word.

"Do not……!"

Ross felt the stinging pain from his hair being grabbed, which he was trying to endure, but when he heard those words, despair appeared in his eyes.

But in just a moment, Tony snapped Rose's neck.

Rose's expression froze at that moment of despair and disbelief.

"Jarvis, take care of the cleaning."

After killing Ross, Tony immediately gave the order.

“Okay, Mr. Tony.”

Jarvis responded with a sound of reply.

Operating the intelligent robots and devices inside the villa, they began moving one corpse after another out of the villa and burning them to ashes with lasers.

"Did I scare you?"

Then, Tony looked at Pepper and asked.

"Of course not. Even if you don't kill him, I will."

Pepper had witnessed everything Tony had done. When asked about it, she stepped forward, gently kissed Tony, and said with a smile.

She knew that expressing that she wasn't intimidated by the side Tony had shown wouldn't be very convincing with just words.

Only through real actions can Tony be truly put at ease.

Pepper had participated in the war in the Void and witnessed the true world of the strong, so it was impossible for her to feel heartache or sorrow because of these things.

Faced with their moves, the U.S. military initially did not choose to negotiate or cooperate with them.

Instead, they remained greedy and arrogant, wanting them to obey.

So, between the US military and both sides, only one side can survive.

Tony wrapped his arms around Pepper and gently kissed her forehead.

"However, if Ross dies here, the U.S. military will likely find out quickly and issue a statement. What should we do then?"

Pepper nestled into Tony's arms without any resistance and asked.

"No rush."

"We have already sent the information from our side to Steve and Banner."

"They cannot speak directly online; they must spread their message through press conferences."

"The military and politicians who want to denounce Stark Industries and then try to take action against Stark Industries under the guise of righteousness."

"Banner and Steve will handle it."

"This also tells the world that our struggle with the military has allowed Stark Industries to survive."

"I'll leave the negotiations with other countries to you."

Tony smiled upon hearing this.

For Tony, breaking through the suppression of the American military and politicians and dumping his technology all over the world was just the simplest part of his plan.

The most troublesome third step is to enable all of humanity to form a community with a shared future, and then inject everyone with gene-enhancing drugs to connect human society with the universe.

He said he only had three goals, but the number of complicated things involved in achieving those three goals was countless.

However, this simplest step is also the starting point for humanity to set foot in the universe.

His ability to suppress the American military and politicians single-handedly can be seen as a statement to other countries.

This would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of various countries at first, so Pepper was needed to carry it out.

All that's needed is for countries to be able to buy Stark Industries' energy and space translators without any pressure.

Once widespread adoption is achieved and their initial promises are fulfilled, these concerns will gradually dissipate.

Only then was he able to gradually lead humanity toward the goal of a community with a shared future for mankind.

These are things that require time to develop and cannot be accomplished immediately.

The longer it takes to complete a task, the more likely it is to generate many unforeseen problems.

However, there's nothing we can do about it; everything has to be done gradually.

Chapter 475 Captain Marvel Returns

That is, when General Ross died, and the armed forces that went with him also died.

Steve, Banner, Peggy, Pietro, Wanda, and Helen Zhao also witnessed the entire process of General Ross's death simultaneously.

"For the weak, the strong are hell."

Peggy was moved after seeing all this.

"Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson. Tony just said that the consequences of his failure were exactly as he described."

When Steve saw the death of General Ross, a high-ranking figure in the U.S. military, he did not feel indignant or think that Tony's actions were wrong.

Jarvis had already deduced, based on the character shaped by General Ross's life, that General Ross would hinder the plan.

As Jarvis had predicted, after Stark Industries' press conference, which aimed to benefit all of humanity...

General Ross, a hardliner representing the U.S. military, immediately led his armed forces to the door.

If they hadn't come with armed troops, but rather unarmed, there might have been room for conversation, and General Ross might not have died.

However, General Ross's stance was already very clear: he was prepared to use force to bring the negotiations to a conclusion if they failed.

They're not so merciful these days; they'd even put a weapon to the head of a weakling who doesn't know his place.

I am still willing to negotiate with the other party in a friendly manner.

“Ms. Zhao Hailun, you can avoid this place if you feel uncomfortable.”

Pietro looked at Miss Zhao Hailun, whose face was pale and who was gripping the armrest of the sofa tightly, and spoke.

When he emerged from the cage at Hydra's base, he was already witnessing a living battlefield.

He also knew all too well that when Mr. Tony got angry, he showed no mercy whatsoever, like a demon.

Those present were generally familiar with Mr. Tony's true character.

However, this was the first time Miss Zhao Hailun had seen Mr. Tony take action, and the first time she had seen him display his brutal nature.

"Thank you for your concern, but I won't leave."

"These will be the kinds of things I see regularly in the future."

Hearing Pietro's words of comfort, Zhao Hailun shook her head slightly to indicate that she was alright.

She had seen patients with extremely serious injuries before and knew the fragility of human life.

However, this was the first time she had witnessed the scene of the annihilation and seen Tony Stark's determination.

She didn't know if she had gotten herself on a sinking ship, but the choice wasn't hers to make.

All she could do was believe that Tony Stark was truly a man of his word, carrying out his plans exactly as he said they would.

If this is confirmed, then she did not get on the wrong ship.

"You could have ignored it and focused on your research."

Seeing Zhao Hailun taking deep breaths and trying to manage her efficiency and mental stress, Wanda spoke up.

"I need to know what kind of future everything I'm doing will bring."

Faced with Wanda's words, Helen Zhao gave a forced smile.

"Let's get started. The people on the list should be moving soon."

Banner glanced at Zhao Hailun but didn't say anything to comfort her, because he needed to get things done quickly.

As for psychological counseling, we can do that later when we have more free time.

"Captain Marvel is an obstacle that could appear at any time."

"So let's hurry up."

Steve nodded upon hearing this.

"It's time for a big push!"

Pietro clasped his hands behind his head and said with a happy expression.

This was the first time he had been granted permission to take action.

"Don't get carried away with playing around. Your efficiency and results this time will affect our evaluation of you."

Seeing Pietro's relaxed and happy expression, Steve said seriously.

"I will definitely not implicate innocent people. If I do, you can punish them however you want."

Upon hearing this, Pietro patted his chest, looking as if to say, "You can trust me, after all."

He knew this was a test of his abilities, so while Pietro appeared relaxed on the surface, he was actually extremely serious inside.
