Nolan felt a bit of regret.
He hadn't brought weapons like Rocket launchers.
Otherwise, the battle would have been much simpler.
Tony Stark looked at the Terminator.
Although surprised inwardly, his face showed disdain.
Are you kidding? He's Tony Stark!
He already knew that Nolan Locke had created an Artificial Intelligence.
He immediately spoke with disdain:
"Artificial Intelligence has its limits, but my brain has no limits.
If Obadiah Stane hadn't taken my energy source, I would have dealt with him long ago."
Listening to Tony Stark's excuse.
Nolan chuckled.
"It seems the famous Tony Stark is only tough with his mouth."
"fack, I'm going to kill you!"
Tony Stark was repeatedly provoked by Nolan today.
He couldn't hold back anymore.
But unfortunately,
Nolan retreated very quickly.
He didn't give him any chance at all.
Pepper Potts looked helpless.
Both of them are the smartest people in this World, why can't they be friends?
Well, she also knew that it was really difficult for a terrible guy like Tony Stark to have friends.
Coulson, on the other hand, looked expectant.
The Terminator T-800 was actually this strong.
When the Military purchased the T-800 before, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not involved.
Seeing the battle end, he eagerly walked up to Nolan.
"Mr. Locke, if S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to purchase these T-800s.
How much will it cost?"
He had just spoken to Director Nick Fury.
Nick Fury was also somewhat interested after hearing his words.
Business is here!
Nolan's heart stirred, and he smiled at Coulson.
"8 million US dollars per unit, honest dealing!"
Hearing this, Coulson frowned.
"But I heard that when you sold them before, it only cost 7 million US dollars per unit.
If you are willing to lower the price, I can guarantee you will get a big deal."
Nolan's expression remained unchanged.
"That was a special offer price, now it's just back to the original price.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. is interested, we can discuss it in detail later."
Coulson sighed.
The price of 8 million was not cheap.
Obadiah Stane was quickly taken away.
Nolan didn't stay long either.
Now was the time for Tony Stark to silently lick his wounds alone.
But he knew.
Next, everything would begin.
Looking at the messy scene from before.
Tony Stark sighed.
Obadiah Stane, who wanted to harm him, was taken away.
But he didn't feel happy.
Because that was his godfather.
The next day, news about yesterday's battle was everywhere.
Almost the entire World clearly saw that big battle.
The terrifying Iron Monger, the agile and cool Iron Man.
And...
The Terminator that ended the battle.
Among these three.
Only the Terminator had a clear source.
Everyone knew it was a robot produced by Locke Technology.
For a time, countless people wanted to get a Terminator T-800.
It could be said that this robot had become the object of pursuit in every street and alley in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, not everyone could afford the Terminator.
Another focus of people's attention was Iron Man.
Countless people were guessing his identity.
Many pointed the finger at Tony Stark.
The reason was simple.
That was Stark Industries, and Tony Stark was one of the few top smart people in the World.
While countless people were making various guesses.
Tony Stark immediately made a decision.
"Pepper, hold a press conference immediately!"
There were some things he had to decide.
At this time, Tony Stark's friend, James Rhodes, found him.
"Tony, this matter absolutely cannot be exposed."
Saying that, he handed Tony Stark a piece of paper.
"We have prepared for public relations, and this contains what you need to read.
Next, you just need to read according to the content on this."
Tony Stark nodded.
He took the paper and walked towards the stage.
Facing the many reporters below the stage.
Tony Stark's expression was complicated.
And Nolan stood in a corner of the press conference venue.
He had come specifically to observe.
Today was not only the day Iron Man was born.
It was also the day he made another huge profit!
Tony Stark held the paper and began speaking in a formulaic manner:
"Ladies and gentlemen, regarding last night's incident, it was actually..."
Speaking of this, he paused.
Then he directly tore up the small piece of paper and said seriously into the microphone:
"Actually, I am Iron Man!"
Instantly, the entire venue was in an uproar.
Tony Stark actually said he was Iron Man!
This was different from Nolan's robots.
Although those robots were also very special, they were ultimately machines.
But Tony Stark had changed the fact that humanity could only fly using airplanes.
Most importantly, the Captain Marvel from the comics became reality at this moment!
After hearing Tony Stark finish speaking.
There was both uproar and applause at the scene.
Nolan also raised his hand and clapped.
A new era had officially begun!
Then he opened Stark Industries' stock, which was skyrocketing at a visible speed.
He made a fortune!
James Rhodes was very angry.
But anger couldn't change the fact that Tony Stark had said this in front of everyone.
Everything was already set.
But he quickly calmed down.
Although the secrecy was lost, at least he had to get the sales rights for this suit.
Although they were friends.
This matter was business.
However, it was obvious.
Facing James Rhodes's request, Tony Stark refused without even thinking.
From the moment he closed the weapons department.
Stark Industries would no longer be involved in the Military industry.
For other companies, this was a problem.
But for him, there were many different options.
"Without Tony Stark, life is as lonely as snow."
Nolan said with a slight sigh.
In the field of Military industry, besides Stark Industries, he didn't think anyone else was his opponent.
Looking at Tony Stark's flamboyant appearance, Nolan stroked his chin.
He was truly asking for a beating.
Since there were no strong opponents, he could only compete against himself.
After the deal with S.H.I.E.L.D. was finalized.
It was time for him to bring out the new generation of trump cards.
There was no need to replace the Terminator T-800.
Although this model was basic, it was very practical.
The ExoSuit Exoskeleton Armor, as individual equipment, hadn't been officially launched yet, but he could already foresee that its sales would be good.
But this was not enough.
Internal competition, right?
There always had to be a true 'King of Competition'.
High-level equipment couldn't be brought out now.
So what he needed was a large armed equipment that was highly functional and low-cost.
After considering for a while, Nolan set his sights on an exoskeleton combat equipment.
APU Mass Production Exoskeleton Combat Equipment, produced in the matrix, technology value 420 million technology points.
The technology value was acceptable.
At the same time, it had a simple structure, strong firepower, and extremely high cost-effectiveness.
Perfect!
