Chapter 412 Killian Comes to Visit, the Boss Behind AIM?

Time passed very quickly. Following the last bombing attack in Maryland, several more terrorist bombings occurred in the next two months.

As with previous bombings, no suspicious explosives were found at all crime scenes, and the heat generated by the explosion was also as high as 3,000 degrees Celsius!

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet, are the aliens who invaded New York not leaving at all? Are the doomsday predictions not over yet?

People are panicking, and even the White House is angry. Mr. President is furious and wants to bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice!

However, his anger was of no use. Instead of producing any evidence that was beneficial to the case, the CIA frequently pushed the issue to extraterrestrial attacks, alleging that SHIELD was not doing anything.

In this regard, Alexander Pierce, the head of the Security Council's S.H.I.E.L.D., simply stated that this matter had nothing to do with them. The fact that the CIA was unable to investigate was because they were incompetent, which did not mean that S.H.I.E.L.D. did not have any clues.

Before Alexander Pierce could hand over the clues at the meeting, the White House meeting screen was hijacked by unknown forces.

"Some people say I am a terrorist, but I think I am actually a teacher..."

"America, get ready for another lesson..."

A bearded man wearing strange robes appeared on the big screen, repeating the bombings that had occurred across the United States during this period.

Starting from Maryland, Arkansas, Ohio, Nevada...

For all the bombings and terrorist attacks that occurred in the past few months, that man could tell them clearly the time, place and number of casualties.

It's like being a person who has experienced it.

"You know who I am, but you don't know where I am, and you can never guess what I want to do..."

The video signal on the big screen was restored, and Alexander Pierce's face appeared on the big screen again, but this time, his face looked very ugly.

Mr. President took a deep breath. He finally knew who and what force was behind this.

The president wanted to curse, but after looking around at the people around him, he finally suppressed his anger.

"Pierce, tell me what you have now."

All he can count on now is Pierce and the Security Council and SHIELD behind him.

As for the CIA?

Oh……

After hearing this, Pierce reorganized his thoughts and simply omitted the introduction he had just prepared, directly identifying the identity of the man who had just been exposed to the scene of their meeting.

"Mandarin, this is the name of the guy just now. We don't know where he comes from. We only know that he is the leader of the Ten Rings gang that was raging in Afghanistan before. The reason why Iron Man Tony Stark was captured was from him. The purpose of this handiwork is to get Tony Stark to make weapons for him..."

Pierce waved and shared a piece of information, then continued:

"We are currently conducting a global search for him. His network skills are very powerful, but this cannot be a means to restrict us. As long as he appears in the public area again, any target that matches this image will be Our people arrest him until we catch him!”

Pierce's speech was full of confidence, and his momentum was much stronger than that of representatives from the CIA and the military.

This gave Mr. President some peace of mind. At least in this aspect, he somewhat recognized S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, the combined funding of all the secret service organizations in the United States could not compare to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Except for the IRS, they collect more than half of their funds themselves...

"Okay, then I'll leave it to SHIELD to handle this matter. We must bring this guy to justice before Christmas!"

The president excitedly slapped the table and opened it to compress the time to Christmas Eve.

Pierce's face almost turned green when he heard this. The reason why he said it so solemnly just now was not because you kept giving me ultimatums!

It's funding! Funding! I’m here to apply for funding!

After all, Hydra still has such a big plan to implement, and without funds, how can it continue to implement it?

However, as if the president had already anticipated Pierce's thoughts, he simply reached out and cut off the communication without giving the old man Pierce a chance to say another word.

Phew~ Fortunately, I can save some money again this time...

…

A few days later, Stark Corporate Headquarters——

Little Pepper had arranged everything in the company as usual and was about to take a break, but at this moment her secretary opened the door and walked in.

"BOSS, the person in charge of Pioneer Technology is waiting for you in the reception room..."

Pepper was stunned when he heard this, Pioneer Technology? Why are their people looking for them?

"What are they looking for me for? Do you have an appointment in advance?"

The secretary looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. The other party had indeed made an appointment, but the person he was looking for was not the CEO of the company, but...

"Yes, it's just that the person they originally wanted to find was Miss Leni Stark, but Miss Leni was never in the company, so..."

Pepper understood that the so-called person in charge of Pioneer Technology couldn't find Leni, so he just found himself, right?

Sighing helplessly, Pepper did not hold the secretary responsible, but just waved her hand to indicate that she understood.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. Although it is not frequent, it happens once every month or so.

The people who come to see Lainie are nothing more than the sons of high-ranking officials or some shameless old men. Anyway, their purpose is all to go to Lainie's face, without exception.

Especially since the New York War, the Avengers have become famous, and more and more guys covet Lainie's beauty and Stark's shares. Pepper even saw a Saudi prince on the appointment list.

Rubbing her sour eyebrows, Pepper sighed.

These two guys usually stay in the studio. If there is nothing to do, they basically don't even go out. All the things in the company are left to me.

I thought Lainie would help me with the work when she came back, but it turned out to be good. She also went into the studio and simply studied the pile of iron suits with Tony and Rhodey.

She didn't understand. What's the use of getting more than a dozen sets of that thing? How many people are there in total? Can they wear it?

After sorting out her mood, Pepper had no choice but to get up from her seat.

She really couldn't rest for a moment...

Pioneer Technology is different from others. It is the largest arms supplier in the United States. She should give it the face it deserves.

She has come all the way here, so she must meet him. She can't just find a reason to get rid of him like the men before.

Otherwise, we will see each other every day, and it will be difficult to do business.

Following the secretary's instructions, she came to the reception room and greeted Happy, who had just been promoted to the head of the security department.

Happy is now a new official who is very aggressive. He asks questions to anyone who doesn't wear a work badge, which makes people in the whole company complain.

But what can she do? Tony arranged this guy's appointment so that he can have something to do.

As a result, now he has something to do, and she is almost annoyed by the complaints.

Every day, I was so worried...

Pepper kept complaining in her heart, but there was no dissatisfaction on her face. After tidying up her clothes, she smiled skillfully and pushed open the glass door of the reception room.

Seeing that the real owner had arrived, the person in charge of Pioneer Technology immediately stood up and smiled at Pepper, constantly saying that he was bothering her.

Seeing this, Pepper also hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake hands with the other party, smiling and saying that it was not a big deal.

But her eyes passed over the shoulder of the person in front of her and looked at the man behind him.

As if noticing Pepper's gaze, the person in charge immediately turned around and introduced him with a smile:

"Ah, just in time, let me introduce you, this is actually the real behind-the-scenes investor of our company, Aldridge..."

However, before the person in charge finished speaking, Pepper took the lead in saying the man's name.

"Killian?"

The man whose name was called immediately put down the book he was reading and showed a wicked smile that he thought was handsome.

"Pepper."

The person in charge was delighted when he saw that the two knew each other. He simply did not introduce himself to the other person. He just found an excuse and left.

Pepper looked at the person in charge's departure in a daze. It was not right to see him off or not.

"It doesn't matter. There are still many things that need to be dealt with by the company. Don't worry about him. Let's talk about our own things."

Killian looked at the familiar face in front of him and kept thinking about what to say next.

"You, you are the boss behind AIM Pioneer Technology?"

Pepper only reacted at this time. He didn't expect that a person who looked so sloppy at the beginning would become like this now...

"It's unexpected, isn't it? But the fact is that I personally prefer to keep a low profile, so I let him help me show up."

Killian reached out and closed the glass door of the conference room. Now it has become their private space.

"After so many years, you are still so beautiful..."
