Chapter 198 A Naked Threat (Third Update)

"The Minister of Defense is also here, so I don't need to explain anything further."

In the White House Oval Office, Hawking saw the Secretary of Defense standing in front of the President and knew that during the time he was waiting to be received, the Secretary of Defense must have already told the President the whole story.

The president looked at Hawking with a smile:

"Welcome, Mr. Hawking and Mr. Stark. I am indeed aware of the matter."

General Ross's unauthorized human experiments have led to this situation. I will remove him from his post as general and send CIA agents to investigate him. Please rest assured, Mr. Hawking.

"Human experimentation is a minor matter, but trying to start a world war by cultivating super soldiers is no small matter."

Hearing that the president was trying to smooth things over, Hawking raised an eyebrow.

The Minister of National Defense immediately smiled and said:

"Mr. Hawking is overthinking it. The world is at peace now, and no one wants to start a war."

I think General Ross was also doing this to protect the country, and to prevent any future problems from arising, so that we can take on the responsibility of maintaining world peace.

It's the same principle as Mr. Stark building and researching various more advanced weapons for us.

He was just a little too radical.

"That's true. That was my original intention in creating and researching weapons."

Tony nodded beside him:

"However, General Ross may not share my original intentions. I think he might just be acting out of self-interest."

Besides, I think he's completely wasting his time. Even if he does develop those super soldiers, what's the use? One missile from me can blow them to pieces.

Even Captain Carter couldn't catch the missile I invented!

Tony's words made the Secretary of Defense on the other side twitch his lips, but he was already used to Tony's arrogant personality, and simply smiled:

"We will investigate General Ross's matter. Tony, if you are willing to sell us your Iron Man suit, I think there is really no need to research any more super soldiers."

"The company is still discussing this issue, and nothing has been decided yet."

Tony shrugged, showing no respect whatsoever to the Secretary of Defense.

Even the president, let alone the Secretary of Defense, cannot force someone to do something they don't want to do.

Other arms dealers fear offending the Secretary of Defense and losing future orders, but Tony Stark is not afraid, because no other arms dealer has invented weapons that can compare to his.

It was always the military that begged him to research and invent more powerful weapons; he was the one in the dominant position.

At this moment, the president also spoke:

"Mr. Hawking, please rest assured that we will handle General Ross's matter impartially."

"Okay, then let's leave it at that. I don't want anyone else to cause trouble for Dr. Banner because of this."

Furthermore, I'm a person who always speaks quite directly, and if you'll forgive my bluntness, what General Ross is researching is not maintaining world peace, but rather destroying it.

To put it bluntly, this country is more of the one stirring up trouble.

I, Stephen Hawking, am upholding justice not just in one country, but for the entire planet, and I will not allow any ambitious individual to start a war for personal gain.

So don't blame me for not warning you, if anyone violates my justice, I won't hesitate to make them disappear from this world.

No matter how high his status or position!

Hawking wore a gentle smile, but the aura he exuded was so powerful that it made it difficult for anyone to breathe.

Things are different now. Originally, his basic combat strength was insufficient, so he had to restrain himself a bit.

Even without transforming into a giant ape, Black Marvel from S.H.I.E.L.D. might not be his match.

Moreover, he has mastered the skill of transforming into a giant ape at any time, which would absolutely crush Black Amazing, and he also has spatial abilities, which would allow him to ignore the threat of nuclear weapons.

So even without the Banner and General Ross incident, he would still find an excuse to come to the White House to make the human leadership understand not to provoke him.

By appropriately showcasing his unparalleled strength, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble for himself and the company, and prevent him from wasting precious training time dealing with problems.

Otherwise, if some high-ranking human officials think they can deal with him, they might start all sorts of underhanded tactics.

He will definitely be alright in the end, but that doesn't mean his family, friends, and company employees won't be alright.

By the time he finishes his job and turns the enemy to dust, it will be too late.

Moreover, he was warning these high-ranking human leaders with righteousness and justice, and even Tony Stark, who was standing next to him, nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Of course."

The Secretary of Defense and the President, being ordinary human beings, could only nod with forced smiles under Hawking's imposing presence.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Hawking withdrew his imposing aura towards the two men and turned to Tony beside him with a smile:

"Didn't you say you'd buy me drinks? Would you mind coming over now?"

"No problem, but we can't go to Stark Tower. Let's go to my house in Malibu instead. I have my best wines there."

Tony thought for a moment and then laughed as he replied.

He found that Hawking suited his temperament well, not only because Hawking had saved him once, but also because of Hawking's so-called righteous rhetoric.

What's remarkable is that Hawking dared to speak to the president and the secretary of defense in that tone.

The reason he didn't go to Stark Tower but went home was because Obadiah Stan was there, and he didn't want to listen to him rambling on about mass-producing and selling Iron Man suits.

"Anywhere is fine."

Hawking grabbed Tony's Iron Man suit and Apparated away.

Upon confirming Hawking's disappearance, the president slammed his hand on the table, his face contorted with rage, and exclaimed:

"How dare he! How dare he threaten me!"

You're right. Someone like him, even if he saved the world, absolutely cannot be allowed to stay. Sooner or later, he'll become a huge problem, as will his company.

"Is there any way to get rid of him?"

As the leader of the most powerful country on Earth, he was actually subjected to such blatant threats in the White House.

The Secretary of Defense shook his head and placed a video sent by his subordinate in front of the President:

"Terror won't work. Earth's weapons are completely useless against him. Moreover, he can instantly appear from Virginia to the White House, so he must have teleportation abilities. Even if we disregard casualties, we still can't kill him."

If we anger him, given his strength, we might all die, just as he said.

"Well, until we're absolutely certain, we shouldn't provoke him, and we should also keep the other generals in check."

Seeing that modern weapons had no effect on Hawking in the video, and that Hawking had dismantled a top-tier force in seconds, the president was taken aback.
