Kai looked at Killian coldly, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "Leave Pepper to me, you can go."
Will Kai let this guy go?
of course not!
It's just a stopgap measure.
Killian is not stupid either.
"Of course, of course!" Killian uses himself to save others. If he were Kai, would he let him go easily? Of course it's impossible! So: "But Miss Potts needs to stay with me for a while, once I
Once it is safe, I will naturally let Miss Potts go."
"Haha." Kai was unmoved: "You should know that I am not Tony, right?"
Killian stopped smiling and asked seriously: "What do you mean?"
This is what Killian is most afraid of. It is impossible for him to deal with Tony without conducting detailed investigations. He knows that Tony Stark and Pepper Potts love each other very much, and Pepper is also the person Tony cares about the most.
Based on this, he kidnapped Pepper and planned to use her to threaten Tony Stark.
But the problem is that it's not Tony who's here now, and Pepper's value has dropped by more than half! The reason why he can still threaten Kai now is because Kai is a good friend of Tony! Kai can't watch his friend's girlfriend die
, So he can continue to threaten Kai. But the effect of this threat is naturally impossible to compare with the effect of threatening Tony.
"You want to watch Tony Stark's woman die in front of you?"
"I don't want to." Kai didn't panic. He really didn't have any good solutions at the moment, but the problem was that Killian on the opposite side didn't have any either! Does he really dare to attack Pepper? Lend him some courage! This
It's his last trump card! Once this card is gone, his fate will only be worse. So Kai doesn't panic at all. This grandson cares more about Pepper's life and death than he does. After all, Pepper is equivalent to his life, and that's all.
, Kai is so panicked!
"Then just do as I say!" Killian felt bad, he had lost the initiative! According to his assumption, he should have the upper hand at this moment, wantonly ridiculing and humiliating Kai, and then left the place in a swagger.
, as for letting Pepper go?
ha?
How could such a useful chess piece be let go so easily? He had thought of countless plans to use Pepper to threaten Tony.
But looking at Kai's appearance, things were stuck at the beginning.
"I told you, I'm not Tony!"
Kai still said coldly: "Put down Pepper, you can go. There are too many demands, and you can't even think of raising any of them."
And Killian knows that at this time, he must not give in. Once he gives in, there will be nothing left.
He grabbed Pepper by the neck and lifted her up!
"Let me go! I will naturally let this woman go after I leave! Otherwise..."
Kai didn't say anything and took out the ax directly!
If you kill Pepper, I will kill you!
This is a game, either you and Pepper die together! Or you let Pepper go and bet that Kai will keep his promise.
The key point of this game is whether Killian is really willing to sacrifice. In other words, he is betting his life on Pepper's status in Kai's mind.
At this time, Kai naturally needs to play a game. He needs to act cold, but he can't give Killian the feeling that he doesn't care about Pepper at all. Otherwise, the opponent will be completely defeated, and he will be completely ruined.
Of course Kai couldn't let anything happen to Pepper.
Tony's problems aside, Pepper is his good friend!
But the more this happens, the less Kai can show any weakness!
You want to kill Pepper?
Okay! As long as you dare to take action, I will hack you to death in the next second!
Bet your life!
The difference is that Killian is gambling with his own life!
Is he so courageous?
Apparently not!
So he quickly analyzed the current situation and wanted to find a way for himself to escape and ascend to heaven.
Without Pepper's trump card, it means that he needs to bear the risk of Kai chasing him at any time.
But if the fish dies and the net breaks... you can see it from the battle just now... even if the fish dies, the net will not break!
Thinking of this... Killian felt a headache.
Can……
Finally, Killian gritted his teeth and let go of Pepper: "Okay! But you have to keep your promise!"
Kai said nothing, but looked at Killian.
Meaning, give it to me!
"I'm not afraid to tell you that if there is no stabilizer, Pepper may explode at any time! If you break your promise, then just wait for her to become a bomb!"
This is Killian's last chance.
Why didn't Killian threaten Kai with this before?
Because this thing...it's not safe!
Although the main credit for the Extremis Project being able to progress to this stage lies with him and Maya, both of them know that without the formula that Tony gave Maya, the Extremis Project would not have been able to advance to the point where it is now!
In other words, in today's world, Tony is the third scientist who can crack the Extremis virus!
Killian wasn't sure if Tony could cure Pepper of the Extremis virus after he let her go. Of course he didn't want to let Pepper go, otherwise, wouldn't he have kidnapped her in vain? But now, he can't control it.
So much.
It's important to escape!
"Give me the stabilizer, you can get out!" Kai knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it didn't matter. As long as Pepper didn't have any problems the first time, there would be no problems later.
With Maya and Tony on their side, it shouldn't be difficult to solve Pepper's troubles.
Killian gritted his teeth and looked at Kai.
But Kai couldn't tolerate him and looked at him with a sneer.
In the end, Killian couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to the person behind him.
Any stabilizer fell into Kai's hands.
Kai saved Pepper, then turned around and rescued her.
Killian breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the yacht, Rhodes was on the phone with the Department of Defense, and Benjamin was also on the phone with the White House.
We are all busy people, and it is impossible for a real champagne beauty to fool around like this. Especially for Benjamin, once the news of his kidnapping leaks, the chain reaction will be too great.
"Derek was attacked?" Benjamin shouted in shock.
Rhodes was startled.
Derek Raphson is no mere cat or dog, he is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Unlike the Speaker of the Senate like the Vice President, this is a proper Republican tycoon and leader of the establishment. It is not a trivial matter for him to be attacked.
But Rhodes immediately threw the matter aside.
Speaker of the House of Representatives?
The president was kidnapped just now!
Small problems, small problems.
"What's going on?" Benjamin forced himself to calm down.
He wondered if some evil organization was targeting the United States! Otherwise, there was no way to explain that in such a short period of time, he was attacked, and then the Speaker of the House of Representatives was also attacked. This was specifically targeting high-level officials of the U.S. government!
When Benjamin asked, it turned out that since he was kidnapped, someone immediately suggested initiating the Presidential Succession Act and letting the Vice President serve as interim Vice President.
The reason is also very simple.
Valley squirt
The president has been kidnapped.
Should the U.S. government be allowed to compromise because of the president?
Don't be ridiculous, this is impossible. No major country in the world can compromise with terrorists. Even if the president is kidnapped.
There is no way, the president is just a person, according to the constitution, anyone can be the president. Once every four years, there is nothing unusual.
So in order to avoid unnecessary things happening.
It is normal procedure for the Vice President to be sworn in as interim President.
Although Benjamin was very uncomfortable with this. According to the time, less than half an hour after he was kidnapped, the Vice President was about to take the oath. Well, the Speaker of the House of Representatives was attacked on his way to administer the oath of the interim president.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious. The Secret Service officers around him were seriously injured when they arrived.
The speaker is now in the hospital for treatment.
"Well, good. How's the vice president doing? Has he been attacked?" As a creature of power, the president clearly felt that something was wrong.
Normal procedure is normal procedure.
But according to the efficiency of American bureaucrats, they can actually decide in just ten minutes to give up on themselves as president and let the vice president take office... Isn't it a little too eager? Is it that he, a president who has been tested for a long time, is so impressive?
Are you worried? He was a super tough guy president who didn't give in when a group of terrorists pointed a gun at his head!
Why are these people so impatient now?
Is his power base so weak?
It shouldn't be.
He is one of the most powerful presidents in American history.
Of course, this is all bullshit. The real reason is...as a power creature, he feels threatened!
Threat of power being taken away!
Nima can't bear this!
So the Vice President... is most likely going to be in trouble.
"Um...no..." The person on the other side of the phone was Benjamin's most trusted secret agent, a senior agent of the Secret Service and the president's personal bodyguard. Mike Banning
When the Iron Patriots kidnapped the president, a big hole was blown out of Air Force One and then crashed... But even so, Benny didn't die... It was like a bunker! Generally speaking, an air crash of this level can
The chance of survival is infinitely close to zero!
But Benny relied on life-saving equipment to survive the dangerous situation by parachuting from the plane.
And soon returned to Washington.
I’m just asking you whether it’s fierce or not. (When London fell, the planes were shot down from the sky, but it turned out to be nothing... and from a city controlled by terrorists, one person single-handedly killed the terrorists, Yan Shuang
The eagle is not as powerful as him!)
Don't worry, this is not the most intense one yet.
Benny found the suspect as soon as he returned to Washington.
The location of Air Force One is extremely confidential, and generally speaking, it is difficult to be captured.
Benny was familiar with all aspects of the president's security, and he quickly discovered the difference from one detail.
According to security rules, once the president's safety is threatened, all communications must be completed through encrypted channels. This is to prevent someone from discovering the president's location based on signal positioning. Therefore, after boarding Air Force One, the president's communications need to go through the Air Force
Communicate using the communications equipment onboard No.1.
This is safer.
But on Air Force One, the president still received a personal phone call.
Not through the communicator on Air Force One, but through the president's personal phone.
Very few people know about this phone number. Only people who are very close to the president know about it.
But after boarding Air Force One, even if the president's friends and family want to contact the president, they do so through encrypted communications.
The only exception is the personal phone number.
Guess who made this personal phone call?
vice-president!
"Vice President...it's fine. But..." Benny hesitated and reported his guess to Benjamin after his investigation.
Benjamin said calmly: "Well, you did a good job, Mike. Give the phone to Lin."
Lynn refers to Lynn Jobs, the director of the U.S. Secret Service. She is also the first black female Secret Service director in the United States. She was promoted by Benjamin after he took office, and is a direct descendant of the direct line.
"Has Mike told you his speculation?" Benjamin asked very directly.
"Mike?" Lynn Jobs was particularly surprised.
Obviously she doesn't know.
"Then let Benny tell you. Go and check it yourself! And immediately monitor the Vice President!"
Benjamin gave the order very decisively!
In fact, even if this incident hadn't happened, the life of the Vice President, who couldn't even be bothered to name the author, would not have been easy! Damn it, I was planning to seize power even before I died!
Now I have a reason... Haha. Even if nothing happens, I can make things happen for you.
"clear!"
It is extremely difficult for a black woman to make a career in politics. Lynn Jobs was able to rise to the top because of Benjamin’s racial equality policy. It can be said that her political future is highly bound to Benjamin. If Benjamin were to die,
She was probably doomed. So she didn't hesitate when faced with Benjamin's order.
This is also the reason why Lin is able to rise to the top, speaking only from the top!
The things explained above will never be discounted.
Otherwise, why would Benjamin support her?
The hot girl and old man next to me were dumbfounded.
Benjamin didn't hide his voice either.
The Vice President...is he being monitored?
Isn't this a bit childish?
How can people like them understand the dangers of political struggle?
At this moment, a bolt of thunder descended.
Kai appeared holding Pepper.
"What happened to Pepper?!" Rhodes immediately stepped forward to show concern.
Rhodes didn't know about Pepper.
"She was kidnapped..." Kai told the story simply.
"She is now..." Benjamin instinctively took a few steps back. He had seen with his own eyes the power of the explosions of those desperate warriors. If it was true as Killian said... then their situation now could not be said to be safe.
"Look at your potential!" Kai complained angrily.
Benjamin didn't feel ashamed either: "Please, I just escaped from a big explosion. Isn't it normal to be afraid?"
To be honest, although Benjamin is a political creature, his psychological quality is really good. As an ordinary person without any superpowers, he has experienced so many things, but he has no psychological problems at all... He can still joke about it now, too.
It's an anomaly.
With his rich experience, he definitely feels like the ruler of the world.
He narrowly escaped death many times.
It's not a joke, it's the kind of thing where you're really close to death, and if you make the slightest mistake, you could really be shattered to pieces!
"It's okay, at least for the time being. If we really want to solve the problem, we need Tony to do it."
Rhodes was more concerned about another issue.
"Where is my Iron Patriot? And Killian, are you really going to let him go like this?"
