"It seems this Chen Chen is stronger than I thought. It's necessary to recruit and control him. Who should I send..."
Nick Fury stroked his bald head, lost in thought.
Leaving the S.H.I.E.L.D. director to ponder how to recruit Chen Chen, let's switch gears.
On the other side, Chen Chen returned to the Stark Factory he had come from, along with Iron Monger.
Obadiah and Iron Monger had been lured away by Chen Chen. Tony had successfully rescued Pepper, injured and captured all of Obadiah's subordinates, and handed them over to the police, who had arrived on the scene.
This scene was captured by the reporters who rushed over, and the news of Iron Man instantly exploded across New York.
However, this didn't concern Chen Chen. Tony, as promised, handed over the design drawings and manufacturing methods for the Miniature Arc Reactor.
In turn, Chen Chen gave the remains of Iron Monger and the reactor blueprints to his engineers, ordering them to begin manufacturing.
After Tony calmed Pepper, he found Chen Chen again, and they officially announced the transfer of shares contract they had signed.
As a publicly listed company, such a large transfer of shares was impossible to conceal and had to be made public according to stock market trading rules.
Thus, a mysterious wealthy man holding at least 10% of Stark Industries' shares appeared before the public, immediately attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Erik, stared at the news in the newspaper – 'Mysterious Shareholder of Stark Industries, the New Billionaire in New York'.
After looking at it for a while, Magneto instructed the person beside him, "Have you found out the identity of this new billionaire?"
"We have, his name is Chen Chen, he has no social background, but seems to have some relationship with the White Queen of the Hellfire Club." The bald man replied with a bow.
"Emma? Don't worry about her, go and capture that Chen Chen for me. He is a billionaire and a shareholder of Stark Industries, he can be of great use to us."
Magneto didn't take Emma to heart; in his impression, the White Queen was still the weakling he had casually defeated.
To Nick Fury, Chen Chen, a man with no backing but a vast fortune, was a delicious cake, ripe for the taking. The Brotherhood of Mutants desperately needed financial support right now.
"Yes, boss!" The bald man immediately agreed.
Chen Chen, who had just finished the stock handover with Tony at the stock exchange, felt he should celebrate. He expertly drove his Ferrari sports car to a high-end restaurant in New York City.
After parking the car, Chen Chen adjusted his clothes and stepped into the restaurant.
There weren't many people in the restaurant, just a few scattered individuals. He didn't pay it much mind, casually found a seat, and signaled for a waiter to take his order.
Upstairs, a group of burly men in black were watching Chen Chen below, each with a fierce glint in their eyes.
"The target has arrived. Get ready!"
The leader of the black-clad men barked into a walkie-talkie.
In New York, there's never a shortage of desperate people, and it's not surprising that Chen Chen, with his billions of dollars in wealth, would be targeted by them.
In a restaurant, Chen Chen was enjoying the various seafood, sashimi, and steak that had just been served.
Halfway through his meal, the restaurant doors were flung open, and many men in black suits began to enter one after another.
They quickly occupied every corner of the restaurant. Normally, these people wouldn't concern Chen Chen, but what made him feel strange was that, even though it was broad daylight, the men in black suddenly drew the curtains over the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street.
What are these guys up to?
Chen Chen frowned, putting the Australian Lobster claw into his mouth. He crunched down on it, shell and all.
Just after these men in black had taken up positions at every entrance and exit of the restaurant, they suddenly pulled out handguns, pointing them at Chen Chen and the other people in the restaurant.
"Everyone, put your hands on your head and kneel on the ground. Don't make a sound, or don't blame my bullets for being ruthless."
The burly man at the head of the group, over six feet tall and sporting a thick gold chain around his neck, barked out a harsh order.
The other diners and waiters were terrified, trembling and lying on the floor, afraid to make a sound. Only Chen Chen watched everything with a cold gaze, still munching on his lobster. He was thinking to himself,
"The people of this Beautiful Country are truly free. It deserves its reputation as the global beacon of freedom."
After living in the Beautiful Country for a while, Chen Chen discovered a piece of trivia he hadn't known before: the prevalence of gangs, which even had a sort of legal status. In New York City alone, there were over 130,000 gang members.
The most outrageous thing was that people openly sold gang maps here. These maps marked the territories of various gangs, and even the police often bought them.
(It's worth mentioning that in the 2020 version of the Beautiful Country's Google Maps, you could actually search for gang territory divisions, hahaha!)
The burly man with the gold chain saw that Chen Chen was unfazed and still eating. His expression turned serious, and he walked over.
"You must be Chen Chen, the owner of 10% of Stark Industries' shares."
The newcomer spoke in a low voice.
Chen Chen looked up in surprise, not expecting these people to be coming for him. Swallowing the food in his mouth, he nodded. "It's me. What's up?"
"I'll give you one US dollar for all your shares in Stark Industries. Come over here and sign the papers."
After hearing the burly man's words, Chen Chen finally understood. These people were actually targeting him, here specifically to rob him.
Realizing this, his face immediately turned cold.
"What if I say no?"
Chen Chen said coldly. He didn't take the armed men in front of him seriously at all.
The men in black laughed, as if mocking Chen Chen's naivety.
The burly man with the gold chain pressed the pistol against Chen Chen's forehead.
"I'm not asking you. Either come over and sign, or I'll give you a bullet. Your choice."
Either life or death. If Chen Chen were just an ordinary person, perhaps he really wouldn't have a choice.
Too bad…
"You know, I hate it when people point guns at my head the most!" Chen Chen said calmly, his expression unchanged.
Seeing Chen Chen so composed, these gang members were also somewhat surprised. Shouldn't a normal person, facing their menacing gun barrels, immediately drop to their knees and cry out for mercy?
But surprised as they were, they weren't planning to let Chen Chen go. Of course, they wouldn't shoot him directly; that way, they wouldn't be able to get those Stark Industries shares.
