As the press conference began.
This also meant that Colin had officially succeeded Howard as the new chairman of Stark Industries.
Howard's Quan Force would also overlap with Colin's.
It wasn't until he sat in this position that Colin truly understood the influence of Stark Industries.
In the 1990s, it was already worth tens of billions.
It was a multi-sector, multi-national corporation with strong financial resources and a large scale.
It had a powerful military weapon and transportation research and development center.
Because of the arms deal, they were inextricably linked to the US military and even S.H.I.E.L.D.
Apart from that, it also had a world-renowned World Exposition venue. Every year, it would hold an exhibition event regularly, bringing together countless epoch-making technological products, attracting experts and technology fans from all over the world to visit.
Luxury cars, wealth, and beautiful women were all within reach.
But before that, there was something more important waiting for him.
Thanks to Howard's foundation, Stark Industries had close ties with the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.
With his connections in S.H.I.E.L.D., Colin quickly found out about a certain Hydra branch.
……
Night fell.
Colin drove out of the villa and killed two spies on the way.
Then, under the cover of the night, he drove to the suburbs.
In the suburbs of New York, a seemingly inconspicuous abandoned factory was the secret stronghold of a Hydra branch.
Arriving at a nearby mountain, Colin willed a stream of energy that contained the power of lava to surge through his body like a tide.
Colin raised his clenched fists, raised them over his shoulders, and pointed them at the night sky.
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by a sharp and ear-piercing sound of air being torn apart.
Flames surged, and fireballs condensed from lava shot into the sky like cannonballs.
The dark sky was dyed by the multicolored light, making it seem as if it was daytime.
In the next moment.
The lava fireball that was thrown into the sky turned into a giant lava fist that fell from the sky.
From afar, it looked like a meteor shower!
However, this meteor shower was made of scorching lava and carried a fatal danger.
The entire Hydra branch was enveloped in the lava meteor shower.
The intense heat caused the air to distort, and all the water in the vicinity evaporated.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the lava meteor shower fell, the entire Hydra branch was completely destroyed and burned into a sea of lava.
……
"Late last night, an abandoned factory in New York was attacked by an unknown object.”
"The scene was burned to ashes. It was a shocking scene. In addition, there were dozens of suspicious corpses.”
"It is said that many witnesses saw a meteor shower falling from the sky at that time.”
"Astronomists say that this is most likely a once-in-a-century meteor shower.”
"The incident is still under further investigation. We can't rule out the possibility of an extraterrestrial object…"
The next day.
A news report quickly spread and shocked the world.
It was as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, creating layers of ripples.
……
West| Oh, in a certain basement.
A black-robed man was holding a communication device with an unusually excited expression.
"What happened to the destruction of the brooklyn branch?”
"What? You said that the spy who followed Colin disappeared that night, and then the branch was attacked and destroyed by a meteor shower?”
The black-robed man could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. He was extremely shocked.
After a long silence, the black-robed man said to the person on the other end of the communicator in a hoarse voice,"From today onwards, stop all operations against the Stark family. Remember, stop all operations. Don't even plant spies.”
"Summoning a meteor shower is something only gods can do. It's as incredible as the Tesseract…This guy is too terrifying. He's not an existence we can provoke!”
……
Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youths, Dean's office.
As usual, Professor X would turn on the television after teaching the mutated human students to understand the real-time developments in the outside world.
After all, as a shelter for mutated humans, Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youth was a relatively closed environment, but it could not be completely cut off from the human world.
Most of the time, watching television was a good way to understand the real-time developments of the outside world.
After switching to some worthless programs, Professor X's attention was fixed on a news report.
" Late last night, an abandoned factory in New York was attacked by an unknown object…"
Abandoned factories, meteor showers, and dozens of suspicious remains?
These keywords interweaved and arranged in his mind. There seemed to be some kind of connection, as if it contained shocking secrets.
With his keen perception, Professor X realized that there must be something wrong.
Professor X closed his eyes and placed two fingers on his temples.
Soon, his spiritual force extended to a hundred miles away.
He searched around the abandoned factory and searched for all the humans within a radius of dozens of miles. He read their thoughts and memories and filtered and analyzed the information he obtained.
After a while, the amazing scene that the witnesses saw that night formed a clear picture that surfaced in Professor X's mind.
"Creating lava rain with his bare hands, such a terrifying ability is really amazing. Could it be that the new chairman of Stark Industries is also a mutated human?”
Professor X could not help but mutter in his mind.
