Chapter 22: Shall we swim together?

Half an hour later.

Jean looked at Alex and found that he was sitting uncomfortably in his chair.

"Did you guess?"

Jean nodded, not quite sure, "Well, this is Tony Stark."

Meanwhile.

Tony, who was being forced by the Ministry of Defense to hand over the combat suit technology to them, couldn't help but sneeze.

Ah-chu~

The Defense Minister, who was sitting at the very top, righteously said: "Tony Stark, hand over the Battle Suit technology."

"This technology should belong to all of humanity, and our country will become great again thanks to him."

Tony pinched his nose and flirted with a pretty reporter next to him: "Someone must have scolded me just now."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have sneezed, can you imagine?"

"If you don't believe me, let's talk about it in detail tonight?"

The female reporter was about to nod her head in response to the teasing of the talented playboy.

Then the voice of the Minister of Defense was heard.

"Tony Stark! Answer my question."

This guy, he was actually flirting with a woman in front of him.

Didn't he know that this woman had just taken a fancy to him?

No matter what, today he should be forced to hand over the basic technology of the Combat Suit.

Arm the US Army with it.

By that time, the United States will once again become the only superpower in the world that will no longer be held back by China and Russia!

"E... I didn't hear you right now, please say it again."

The Defense Minister was very obedient and repeated it again.

Tony pretended to be stunned: "WHAT? This is not a weapon that I sell!".

"To be precise, this is my prosthesis."

"Not a weapon?"

"You call a prosthetic suit that fires a cannon and releases several hundred million joules of flying energy at any given time?"

"Tony Stark, this is clearly a weapon, don't you dare dodge it."

"Well, all right."

"Then can you prove to me that this thing is a weapon?"

Tony didn't even look at the other man, continuing to tease the woman next to him to make her remember.

Immediately, the Defense Minister said, "Send Justin Hammer."

At these words, a middle-aged man in a suit entered, whose eyes drifted, imitating Tony.

Tony knew this man.

The arms dealer he used to be, except that the weapons he was selling were of poor quality.

When Stark Military Industries still existed, they had to secretly sell weapons on the black market.

It was only after Tony closed Stark Military Industries that the Ministry of Defense approached them with an order.

As soon as Justin Hammer took the stage, he praised Tony's father Howard Stark as the father of the military industry.

He also demonstrated several of his company's technologies.

Claiming that they were also working on combat armor technology and had already achieved success, he wanted Tony to share his technology.

To work in tandem with them.

Justin Hammer saw that Tony didn't answer and thought that Tony himself was shocked.

Now there were surprised gasps from the media representatives.

This was due to the fact that the demonstration screen behind them began to show an accident at the trials, when several experimenters died during the experiments.

This time it was Tony's turn to ask a rhetorical question: "I wonder what happened to those people now?".

Justin Hammer immediately realized that Tony was up to no good.

"Tony Stark, you're slandering!".

"Turn it off right now."

While saying this, he also raised his hand up.

It was clear that the phone in his hand was playing the same content as on the display.

Even if there was more media, he was still so arrogant.

Seeing that he couldn't stop the broadcast, Justin Hammer just took a chair and smashed the display.

Tony pointed to the Defense Minister on stage: "Iron Man is me, I'm Iron Man."

"You won't get any technology from me."

"You don't deserve this!"

Tony, that's how arrogant he was!

So what if the Ministry of Defense is on the other side?

He knew all too well what his superiors wanted to do with this technology.

Of course, he wouldn't let these prodigal ambitious guys get away with it.

Tony threw kisses at everyone present, infuriating the Minister of Defense, who cursed behind his back.

The media quickly recorded the anger of the Defense Minister.

Soon it became the hottest news spread all over the country.

The estate.

Alex nodded with satisfaction at Jean's answer: "Then you should also understand why Tony is living so well now."

"I see, Mr. Alex."

"Thank you for telling me these truths today, no matter what the future holds for mutants, you are still our friend."

Alex waved his hand: "I'm only telling you this as a friend, as far as others are concerned, I don't care."

"You know what I mean?"

Jean immediately nodded in understanding.

The meaning of Alex's words was simple: don't flaunt yourself.

"Mr. Alex, it's getting late."

"I'll be back."

Jean was about to get up and walk back when Alex shook her hand and asked, "Can you swim?".

Faced with this unexpected question.

Jean froze, then nodded, "Yes."

"I have an old saying that says: "Go all the way."

"Then swim with me for a bit, right now I have nothing to do, the pool is in the backyard."

"But, Mr. Alex."

"I didn't bring my bathing suit."

Alex's suggestion made Jean really tempted.

She herself hadn't swum or relaxed for a long time since she joined the X Academy and the X-Men.

After all, she was a girl who was about twenty years old.

Just the right age for fun.

How can you not like to play?

Alex stood up: "Don't worry, while you were thinking about the problem, I made an order."

"Will be here soon."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the doorbell rang.

A black sedan pulled up to the house.

A woman in a dress immediately got out of a black sedan: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Alex?".

"Yes."

"Here are the bathing suits you ordered in all sizes, they are all in this box, please sign for them."

Jean looked at him in surprise and voiced her question: "Do they really sell clothes with delivery so quickly now?".

The woman immediately explained: "Of course not, it's just that Mr. Alex bought all the expensive bathing suits in our store."

"We just delivered them to him right away."

That's all.

Jean looked at Alex with a slightly malicious expression in her eyes.

What a damn ability to spend money!

At that moment, Gwen came around the corner of the street and asked curiously, "Gene, what are you doing here?".

"Gwen, do you want to swim together?"

...
