Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 78 The Significance of Science

In a high-end apartment in downtown New York City.

Watching Tony on TV news arguing with the crowd in Congress, Ivan's face gradually turned ugly.

Even though he has behaved very well since coming to Umbrella, it doesn't mean he doesn't have hatred towards Tony.

It's just that because I'm unfamiliar with the place, I'm just hiding for the time being and waiting for the opportunity.

Some time ago, he realized that although Umbrella and Tony had some conflicts, it was more of a conflict of business interests.

Only Obadiah was his natural ally.

So under Obadiah's persuasion, he applied to resign from Umbrella a few days ago.

Now he is working in the weapons research and development department of Stark Enterprises.

After a while, he took out his cell phone and called Obadiah.

"I want some materials."

……

the next morning.

Tony, wearing a neat black suit, came to the door of Umbrella Building with Pepper, who had a conflicted look on her face.

The security at the gate stopped them.

"Hello, please show me your work ID or invitation letter."

Pepper took out the appointment invitation she received in the morning.

"We have an appointment with your chairman."

The security guard looked at it for a while and let it go after confirming that there was no problem.

Tony looked at this with shining eyes.

"When I return to Stark Enterprises, I will do the same thing to prevent any random people from coming in."

After a while, under the guidance, or surveillance, of the security guards, they arrived at Umbrella's top-floor office.

As soon as he entered here, Tony was stunned.

Because he saw someone who was familiar yet a little strange.

Sharon.

No, Sharon is so beautiful, how could she be this person with hair like a chicken coop, black eyes, and weak legs and feet?

And is that pile of folders in front of the other person serious?

Sharon was busy reading documents at the moment and didn't notice Tony coming.

"Hello, we are looking for your chairman."

It wasn't until Tony knocked on the table that Sharon looked up from the folder and looked at Tony with lifeless eyes.

After a while, her eyes finally focused slightly.

"Tony? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Tony immediately said, "So you know me, are you my fan?"

Sharon was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she quickly reacted.

"Yes, yes, I like you the most."

At the same time, she felt relieved.

It almost came out.

Thinking of this, she looked at Tony gratefully and pointed to the office door behind her.

"The door to our office is behind us, go ahead."

"Okay, thank you Miss."

Looking at Sharon who was working hard again, Tony shook his head for her.

But he was also looking forward to it. Since the other party was so valued by the chairman, he wondered how many secrets he could get.

If Sharon knew what Tony was thinking, she would probably spit in his face.

Because although she dealt with a lot of documents, they were all trivial matters.

Something like the sales department asked us to install air conditioning, or that we ran out of drinking water and wanted to buy more, etc.

It has nothing to do with confidentiality.

After a while, Tony and Pepper pushed the door open.

As for what they talked about, Sharon had no idea, and she didn't want to know.

Because with the sound of wheels turning on the ceiling, another pile of documents was sent over by the conveyor belt.

Director Nick, I want to resign. This spy job is not a job for humans, wuwu...

In the office.

Li Feng sat behind the desk and looked up at the two people in front of him.

"Mr. Stark, long time no see.

Last time we met, you ran away when you saw me, why did you suddenly come to visit me this time?"

When Tony heard this, he smiled awkwardly.

When he met him at Obadiah's house, he didn't want to talk to him any more because he had just said bad things about him in front of Obadiah, so he just walked away.

I didn't expect that the other party still remembered it and even used it to tease me.

"And Miss Pepper, you are getting more and more beautiful."

Hearing this, Pepper also smiled awkwardly.

But compared to Tony, she was more generous.

"Mr. Li, we are here to discuss something important with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me later. Let's have a drink first."

After saying that, Li Feng stood up and walked to the bar next to him, and took out a bottle of red wine and three wine glasses.

After pouring the drink, he picked up a glass and looked at Tony and Pepper.

The meaning is obvious.

After drinking, everyone can still chat.

If you don’t want to drink, then there’s no need to talk about the rest.

While Pepper was still struggling, Tony picked up the cup and took a sip without hesitation.

"Yes, it's Romanee-Conti from 1954. This kind of red wine is no longer available on the market."

Li Feng smiled slightly.

“The taste buds are good, but I’m not rich enough to treat anyone to a bottle of Romanee-Conti from 1954.

This is just a quick-made product that I cultivated from a drop of Romanee-Conti using Umbrella's cell propagation technology. It costs about one hundred million yuan."

Having said that, he raised the glass of red wine in his hand.

"This is the meaning of technology, to make our lives better."

Hearing this, Tony immediately understood the meaning of the other party's glass of wine.

This is a lesson for myself.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.

“The meaning of technology is indeed to make life better.

But we live in a world filled with war and persecution.

If there is no future, what is the point of talking about beauty? "

"Have you ever thought about why there are wars and persecutions?"

Pepper then spoke up: "Of course it's because of human greed and desire."

Li Feng smiled slightly.

"If we use technology to satisfy all of people's greed and desires, then there will be no wars."

Tony shook his head.

"You are too naive, Li. Human greed and desire are endless. You can never satisfy them."

"Then why can't we use technology to create infinite resources?

If you had unlimited resources, would you risk death by starting a war? "

Having said that, Li Feng poured out the red wine in his hand, then took out a few bottles, opened them casually, and poured them out.

“Like me, I have everything I want, and although I still want more, will I risk my life and go to war just for more resources and glory?
Haven't you noticed that since World War II, although there have been constant small conflicts in the world, there has been no large-scale war.

It’s not because people’s desires and greed have disappeared, but because the development of science and technology has made resources more abundant.

We will no longer allow a powerful country to sell bread for half a million, forcing people to wage war.

After meeting their life needs, people may still want more, but they will not risk their lives to start a war for more.

Because in addition to desire and greed, humans also weigh the pros and cons.

This is why war-torn places are often poor and underdeveloped countries.”
