Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 30: Night Visit to Umbrella
In the end, Tony did not go to the Middle East.

Because that night, Lieutenant Colonel James came over.

"Look, Tony, I don't care what you found in the Middle East. You have to pretend you don't know anything about it."

Tony looked confused as he saw the serious look on his friend's face.

"What happened? Are the military oppressing you?"

James shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. Promise me that you won't bother with the Middle East anymore. I'm doing this for your own good..."

"Have you not seen the mass graves in the Middle East? There are still such massacres happening in the world. As a human being, where is your conscience and justice?"

"The military has decided to send an additional 20,000 troops from Camel Country next month to ensure that the massacre in Gumira will not happen again."

Hearing this, smart Tony immediately thought of something.

"Were they the ones who condoned the Gumira massacre?"

“Tony, sometimes people can’t be too smart, otherwise they will get into trouble.

As your friend, I don't want to see anything happen to you, and now you've even lost your position as chairman of Stark Enterprises.

Your greatest life-saving talisman is gone."

Why is it that no matter how Tony commits suicide, Congress and the military are indifferent to him and dare not offend him at all?

That's because he is the chairman of Stark Enterprises, managing a company with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars, with hundreds of thousands of workers under him, and he is also the largest arms dealer of the military.

But now that he is no longer the chairman, he has lost his biggest trump card, and the military will no longer be so tolerant of him.

Just when Tony was about to say something, the door suddenly opened and Pepper, dressed in a formal black suit, walked in with a briefcase.

"Who said Tony isn't the chairman of Stark Enterprises?"

Hearing Pepper's words, Tony immediately got up from the sofa with a smile.

"Pepper, do you have any idea?"

Pepper put down her briefcase and sat on the sofa with a confident look on her face.

“I have already talked to some shareholders and senior executives, and we will hold a shareholders’ meeting next month, and they will all support you then.

Even if Obadiah and his team issue 500 million shares, they don’t have that much money to buy shares. We will definitely be able to regain the position of chairman by then.”

James, who was standing next to him, immediately said after hearing this: "Then wait until you become the chairman next month before you go to the Middle East to cause trouble."

Tony, who was originally excited, suddenly looked depressed.

"Hey, man, you can't do this."

Then he went to the window and drew aside the curtains.

"Also, quickly withdraw your people and stop monitoring me."

"Tony, an F22 is worth 1.4 million, and that's just the production cost. You have to know how big a disaster we've caused this time!"

Although 1.4 million is expensive, if it were in the past, Tony would have given it as soon as he said so.

But because of Obadiah's backstabbing, he was naturally not as generous as before.

Even the development of Mark V was delayed due to funding issues.

So when he heard the number 1.4 million, Tony sat down on the sofa in a deflated manner.

After a moment of silence, Tony suddenly said, "Jarvis, project the insect man."

As he finished his words, a three-dimensional projection soon appeared in the living room.

The projection showed the same insect-man that Tony encountered twice in the Middle East.

"Did you make these things?"

James was stunned when he saw the lifelike and extremely terrifying projection in front of him.

"Where did these things come from? Tony, are you going to make a horror movie?"

But looking at Tony's solemn eyes, he gradually felt something was wrong.

"Is this the monster you encountered in the Middle East?"

Tony stood up excitedly and waved his hands.

“That’s right.

I call these monsters insect people. They originally looked like humans, but after being killed by me, they mutated and turned into these monsters.

Aren't you spying on me? Haven't you been curious about the biologists I invited here recently? I just want to study what these insect people are.

Tell me, is this thing made by your military?"

"no!"

James shook his head quickly, then looked carefully at these terrifying-looking insect people.

"Are they all born from some kind of enhanced technology?"

"Enhancement technology?"

Tony looked disdainful, then took the wine glass from Pepper and took a sip.

"I prefer to call it a failure. Have you ever seen Captain America become so horrible?"

If we talk about the originator of strengthening technology, it is naturally Captain America, so it is customary to compare him with Captain America.

James also took the wine glass handed over by Pepper, and suddenly a name appeared in his mind.

“Could it be that company…”

Seeing that James seemed to know something, Tony immediately became interested.

"which company?"

After hesitating for a while, James finally said it.

"Umbrella..."

When Tony and Pepper heard the name, they exclaimed in unison.

"Umbrella!"

“Yes, actually I am not very clear about it. After all, biological research is handled by other people, and I am only in the weapons research and development department.

But I heard that the military has been in close contact with Umbrella recently, and has placed a lot of orders recently."

Pepper frowned slightly.

"Doesn't Umbrella produce medicines and cosmetics? How did it get into biological research?"

Tony put his glass down and nodded beside him.

"Yes, hasn't the military always been cooperating with the Osborne Group in biological research?"

James looked around at this time, walked to the window and pulled up the curtains.

“In fact, there is one thing that the top management has already tacitly agreed to.

The Osborn Group's biological research is not as good as Umbrella's, so it prefers to cooperate with Umbrella.

Don’t tell anyone what I just said, these things are still confidential.”

Tony and Pepper naturally wouldn't make things difficult for their friends, so they nodded immediately.

After chatting for a while, James left.

But Tony's eyes flickered, and then he told Pepper to go upstairs and sleep first, saying that he still had research to continue.

Pepper had been busy all day, so she went up without thinking too much.

After Tony arrived at the laboratory, he looked at the Mark III that had been almost repaired, and the Mark IV next to it which was obviously a size larger.

In the end he chose Mark III.

The Mark IV’s armor is indeed thicker, but tonight’s actions still require more dexterity.

After Tony left, Pepper looked at the light disappearing outside the window and sighed in her heart.

……

late at night.

A dark cloud appeared in the sky, blocking the moon high in the sky and plunging New York City into darkness.

Tony controlled the Mark III and arrived high in the sky above the Umbrella Building.

He saw that the building was still brightly lit, and there were obviously people on night shift.

"Jarvis, plan an entrance that won't be discovered."

"Yes, Mr. Stark."
