Chapter 129 Return of the King

Chapter 129 Return of the King

The sun is high.

It exudes a vicious light, and its light shines directly on the sand, making the sand instantly become hot to the touch, like a fireball rolling on the ground.

The desert at this moment seemed like a huge oven, shrouding the entire desert in scorching heat.

Tony and Ethan looked at each other.

"Bai Ye! You bastard, even if you don't take me back to New York, at least you have to take me to the US military camp?"

"Hey! Come back quickly, do you hear me? Put me in the military camp!"

"Isn't it, brother? Are you really leaving? Don't leave me!"

Tony wanted to cry but had no tears left. It was so hot in the desert.

Ethan also said speechlessly:

"This young master Bai Ye is indeed a good friend of Tony You!"

They are all equally unreliable.

"Fuck! He actually left." Tony cursed fiercely: "This bitch is a real dog!!"

Ethan asked: "Tony, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Tony said with hatred, "Since he has sent the coordinates to Rhodes, we can only wait here slowly."

He sat down.

In an instant, the body was ejected.

"So hot, so hot!"

Tony grinned and rubbed his butt vigorously.

He felt like his butt was about to be burned.

Ethan cleverly put his coat over his head to block the direct sunlight and windy sand, and said:

"Tony, let's find a leeward sand dune nearby to hide. Otherwise, if we just stand carelessly in the sun, I'm afraid that the two of us will die of dehydration before your friends come."

What else could Tony do?

Who let that bastard Bai Ye play a trick with him? Kill first and then show off.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been waiting. Tony's head was already dizzy, and he murmured: "My ice-cold whiskey..."

Tony is a big drinker. He came to Afghanistan to sell Jellicoe missiles. The value started at 500 million US dollars without any counter-offer. But after spending 500 million US dollars, Tony promised to give away a box of wine and a built-in refrigeration function. A safe containing Old Malt Cask Laphroaig 17 Years Old (distilled in 1987).

What he misses now is the ice-cold whiskey he brought all the way from New York to Afghanistan.

finally.

Tony heard the sound of a helicopter.

Look up towards the sky.

It's a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.

"Made, why are you here?"

Tony was so excited that he almost cried.

The helicopter landed, and a group of people dressed as US troops jumped out. The leader was none other than Tony's good friend and future war machine, Colonel Rhodes.

"Are you going to ride in your happy little Jeep again?"

Colonel Rhodes came to Tony and saw that his face was covered with stains, but he looked fine. He breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his solemn brows, and joked with a smile.

"Then I will ride in the Happy Little Convertible from now on?" Tony's mouth was still so tough and said: "Man, it was just an accident. Do you need to ridicule me like this!? I bet that the great Kennedy wouldn't like your words. The way!"

"You!"

Colonel Rhodes smiled and shook his head.

Then the two brothers hugged each other lovingly.

Afterwards, Colonel Rhodes noticed Ethan: "This is..."

"He is Ethan, my savior. Without him, the grass would grow on my grave."

Tony introduced with a smile.

Without the car battery that Ethan helped him make, Tony would have been dead after being hit by a cannonball manufactured by his company, and he would not have been able to wait for Bai Ye to save him.

…

While Tony and Ethan were still enduring the high temperature in the desert, Baiye had returned to New York again, drinking ice-cold Coke.

"It's so cool!"

When it's hot, drinking a can of ice-cold Coke is indeed the happiest thing in the world.

Of course, actually staying inside the Blue Devil Armor, with the temperature adjustment function, Bai Ye couldn't feel the high temperature at all, but his eyes saw the high temperature.

"Who drove you out of the house and came to me?"

Wendy pouted.

"What are you talking about? I just came back from a business trip, okay?"

Bai Ye playfully hugged Wendy into her arms and kissed her hard on the lips.

a long time.

All the lip gloss on Wendy's red lips was eaten by Bai Ye. Panting and blushing, she lay in Bai Ye's arms. She buried her head in Bai Ye's heart and listened to the powerful beating of Bai Ye's heart.

Like a little kitten.

"How are things going at the company lately?"

Bai Ye took another sip of ice-cold Coke.

"The income of "Minecraft" is very stable, and the discussion continues to spread. It is already a phenomenal game." Wendy said: "During this period, the development of "League of Legends" has also come to an end, but... "

"but what?"

"I think "League of Legends" may have greater potential." Wendy said: "Simply releasing the game and riding on the popularity of "World of Warcraft" may allow us to make a lot of money, but I don't want to just That way, we can make League of Legends a cultural phenomenon."

"cultural phenomenon?"

Wendy said: “After I played League of Legends internally, I felt that League of Legends was born for e-sports, so we should prepare to hold League of Legends’ own competitions.”

Bai Ye frowned and said, "Isn't there already a WCG?"

WCG, the World Electronic Sports Competition, is a global electronic sports event (Computer Game Culture Festival) founded in 2000. The event is hosted by Korea International Electronics Marketing Corporation and sponsored by Samsung and Microsoft (since 2006).

"After all, WCG belongs to others, Samsung and Microsoft. How can we leave our weaknesses in the hands of others?" Wendy said: "League of Legends is a cross-generational game. As long as we operate it properly, it will be enough." Support events unique to "League of Legends" and maximize the influence of this game."

Bai Ye thought about it. He didn't watch e-sports games very much, but he also knew that "League of Legends" did have its own S-game. Later, many people who like e-sports compared WCG and S3 to the difference between the Olympic Games and the World Cup. . The Olympic Games certainly have the status of being legitimate, but judging from the will of the people, it has to be the World Cup.

Many things, without deep thought, can only be seen on the surface. "League of Legends" has become a game that is popular among the people. Is it really that its quality is so good that it can beat everyone who refuses to accept it?

Not necessarily.

Penguin's strong marketing capabilities may be even more important.

Bai Ye remembered that Penguin fully acquired Riot Games in 2011, and the S tournament was held in 2011 as well. In other words, Penguin should have acquired Riot Games first and injected a large amount of capital to give Riot Games the resources to do it. S game, the influence of "League of Legends" gradually increased and became a cultural phenomenon, and then Penguin gained a golden mountain?

"It's not "League of Legends" that made Penguin, but Penguin made "League of Legends"?"

The white night is thoughtful.

If Penguin had not acquired "League of Legends", then they might have been able to use their resources to come up with another phenomenal game to replace "League of Legends".

Capital determines everything.

This is like many popular stars who earn more than 100 million yuan in salary for one movie, but are all those salaries really for him? Is capital really that stupid? I guess it's more likely that the lot will be washed, right? Most of such huge amounts of remuneration only pass through the hands of popular celebrities, and eventually fall into the pockets of capital. As for why there are so many traffic stars who evade taxes... I guess it's because the amount of money they pass through is too large, they have to pay too many taxes, and they don't have much left in their hands, so... they feel unwilling to do so.

“Do you want to organize League of Legends’ own e-sports competition?”

"Yes." Wendy said: "I have already calculated it. It only costs tens of millions of dollars to hold a competition belonging to "League of Legends" every year. Based on Tianmei Studio's income from "Minecraft", Not a problem at all.”

Bai Ye thought for a while: "Okay. You can figure it out. It's only tens of millions of dollars anyway."

Wendy lamented that it was refreshing to work for a boss with a big talent.

Just tens of millions of dollars...

She liked Bai Ye's way of not treating money as money at all.

So handsome!

Bai Ye patted Wendy's buttocks and said:

"I support you so much, is there any benefit?"

Wendy gave Bai Ye a wink, went back to the room, changed clothes and came out.

From a set of home clothes to a set of black lace hollow underwear, the fair skin seems to be shining under the light, the charming face, the delicate collarbone, the dots of ravines, the voluptuous waist, and that Her pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings are so beautiful that they are simply enchanting.

Wendy walked up to Bai Ye with enchanting steps, blew a breath into his ear, and said softly:

"I..."

…

Inside the airport.

Pepper Pepper, dressed in OL's professional attire and neatly made up, was already waiting. Behind her was a stretch Lincoln belonging to Tony.

With a bunch of blond hair hanging down her shoulders, a beautiful face, and a smart and capable temperament, she is worthy of being the woman who takes care of Tony's life and work in an orderly manner.

"Bai Ye, thank you so much!"

Pepper and Bai Ye hugged each other and said gratefully:

"If it weren't for you, that guy Tony might really never be able to come back."

Bai Ye is also here to welcome Tony's return. If it were normal times, he would not be bothered to listen to Tony's pretense, but now, Bai Ye doesn't mind putting up with Tony if it is beneficial.

"We're all friends. Saying these things is a big deal."

Bai Ye hugged Pepper's shoulders and smiled.

In the past two days, Pepper knew the general situation of Tony, and also knew that it was Bai Ye who saved Tony.

After a while.

Pepper let go of Bai Ye, but seeing that Bai Ye still had no intention of letting her go, she reached out and pushed Bai Ye, but she couldn't push him, so she couldn't help but remind her:

"Bai Ye, you hug me too tightly."

As expected, he and Tony are in the same boat, they are green all the time!

"I'm sorry." Bai Ye quickly let go of Pepper and said, "The main reason is that Pepper, your figure is too good."

"fine."

Pepper straightened her clothes and sighed.

A private plane passed through the clouds and landed slowly.

The cabin slowly opened, and Tony, who was slightly injured, slowly walked out with the help of Rhodes.

Tony almost shed tears when he saw the familiar New York.

Tony had never suffered like this in his life!

Go to fucking Afghanistan.

He would never sell weapons there again.

In the airport, the beautiful little nurse in white stockings who had been waiting came over pushing a stretcher.

"Are you kidding? Make them disappear!"

Tony felt that he was not weak enough to lie on a stretcher. Even though he was a little injured now, once he got serious, even seven times a night... it wouldn't be a problem!

At this time, the people who greeted him also came forward, mainly Pepper Pepper, bodyguard Happy, and Bai Ye.

Tony also smiled and walked over slowly. Of course, his eyes were mainly on his personal secretary, Pepper.

As for Bai Ye and Harry next to him, he selectively ignored them.

Pepper Peep saw Tony returning safely, but looking injured. He couldn't help but cover his mouth, choked up, tears filled his eyes, and he tried not to cry out.

"Your eyes are red!" Tony teased: "Crying for your long-lost boss?"

"It's because I'm happy, so I don't have to waste time and energy looking for a new job." Little Pepper's mouth was also very harsh.

"Yeah, your vacation is over."

Tony shrugged and said, although he also knew that Pepper was lying, at this time, he should not expose her.

Women are like this, duplicity.

"Bai Ye!" Tony's eyes turned to Bai Ye, and he immediately became angry: "You guy..."

"Haha, Tony, welcome back as the king!" Bai Ye quickly hugged Tony, patted his back hard, and said, "Don't thank me too much for saving you. This is what I should do. If you really If you feel bad about it, just give me a few of the dozen or so beautiful officers the military base in Afghanistan gave you."

"What?" Pepper's eyebrows rose: "Beautiful officer?"

"Pepper, don't you know yet? Wuwuwu..."

Before Bai Ye could finish his words, Tony grabbed his neck and pulled him away.

In order to express their apology, the military at the Afghan base did give Tony many beautiful officers, but was this something he could say in front of Pepper?

"Bai Ye, don't be too outrageous. What a beautiful officer. Didn't you see that I came back alone? Don't slander my innocence at will!"

While speaking cruel words, Tony secretly begged Bai Ye for mercy.

He stayed alone in the cave for more than two months. After he was rescued, he did feel that his hormones were oversecreting and were about to overflow, so he stayed in Afghanistan for two more days.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye, this bitch, knew everything about it.

After the laughter.

Happy, the driver and bodyguard asked:

"Where next, sir?"

Pepper glared at Tony and said.

"Please take us to the hospital."

"no!"

Tony rejected the proposal.

"No, Tony, you have to go to the hospital!" Pepper said solemnly.

"Nothing is necessary, right now I just want to do two things, eat a cheeseburger, and..."

"That is impossible."

With Pepper's years of experience in taking care of Tony, she already knew what kind of temper he was. The beautiful officer sent by the military in the Afghan base must be the same... It's true.

She knew that even life and death could not change Tony's flirtatious thoughts.

"It's not what you think!"

Tony said helplessly.

Mad, he wanted to change his image after his indulgence in Afghanistan, but he didn't expect to be ruined by Bai Ye as soon as he came back.

If he was simply kidnapped this time, instead of being nearly killed by a bomb made by the Stark Group, and not discovering that the terrorists were holding weapons produced by the Stark Group, what would happen now? He might really want to do what Pepper is thinking about right away.

But in fact, his mind has changed.

"Pepper, I need you to hold a press conference for me right away!"

"Press conference, for what?"

Pepper asked in confusion.

"You'll know when the time comes." Tony smiled mysteriously, without saying much, and said to the bodyguard next to him: "Okay, Happy, drive on, and buy a cheeseburger first. I haven't eaten this thing in two months. Got it!"

He didn't dare to say directly that he held a press conference to shut down the Stark Group's military industry department, otherwise...

Everyone would think that he had suffered too much torture in Afghanistan, had mental problems, gone crazy, and refused to carry out his orders.

The world's largest military industrial group, Stark Group, has closed its military industry department. What has become of Stark Group?

A military-industrial conglomerate that doesn’t produce arms?

The Stark Group's stocks, which have just recovered, will probably fall at a faster rate than before Tony's disappearance, and it will never end.

Tony is just messing around.

Therefore, Tony knew that his idea was too unorthodox and might not be supported by anyone, so he did not tell anyone. This was just an idea that had been swirling in his mind after he escaped death.

Therefore, Tony wanted to hold a press conference directly to turn this idea into an established fact. By then, it would be useless for anyone to object.

Stark Tower.

A stretched Lincoln drove slowly.

A large group of people, including reporters and Stark Group executives and employees, blocked the door of Stark Tower and applauded enthusiastically.

"Look here!"

The old fox Obadi trotted to the car door with a happy face and opened the door for Tony.

"I thought you would go to the hospital for a checkup first!"

"Within the base in Afghanistan, I've checked."

As he spoke, Tony took the cheeseburger in Happy's hand and took a big bite.

"Oh, burger, you have to eat a burger." Obadi said with a smile: "Do you have my share?"

Tony spread his hands: "This is the last one, I want to eat it myself."

Surrounded by a group of people, Tony walked into Stark Tower.

"Hey, can everyone sit down?" Tony sat lazily under the podium, took out a cheeseburger in one hand, and said while eating: "This way everyone can see me, and I can be more casual."

The reporters were speechless. This was really Tony Stark's style. He always took the unconventional route. They had no choice but to slowly sit down. Although there were no seats here, they could only sit on the ground.

Some ladies felt it was indecent, so they just knelt down and sat on the ground.

"I didn't get to say goodbye to my dad, and I didn't get to see my dad for the last time." Tony bit into his cheeseburger and thought: "There are some questions I want to ask him. I wanted to ask him how he felt about his company's actions, whether he Have you ever had conflicts or doubts? Maybe he is just like the one in the newsreel introduction..."

A trace of pain flashed across Tony's face: "I witnessed innocent civilians being killed, killed by the weapons I made to protect them..."

"I suddenly found myself becoming a member of the zero-responsibility class who are content to enjoy themselves."

"After this trip to Afghanistan, I woke up." Tony stood up, formally walked onto the podium, looked at the media reporters in the audience with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "I realized that I can contribute to This world is not just about making things that can explode, and because of this, I will close the weapons manufacturing department of the Stark Group, effective immediately."

There was an uproar at the scene.

After Tony dropped this big news like a nuclear bomb, he turned around and left without paying any attention to the restless reporters. He came to the office of the chairman of Stark Group. While eating a burger, Tony looked at Bai Ye triumphantly. He raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"How's my wave?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment, gave Tony a thumbs up, and said seriously: "It's big and white."

Tony: "???"
