Press Conference

___

Kai returned home, it was already very late when he returned home.

So Kai just lay down on the bed and went to sleep without doing anything else.

Early the next morning, when Kai woke up, the first thing he did was find Gear.

Because yesterday, when fighting with Iron Monger, Kai took out his mobile phone to record the video and asked Gear to analyze and learn from Iron Monger's design through the mobile phone video to enrich the "Transformers" project.

That's right, the task that Kai assigned to Gear was to make an unmanned, remotely controlled large-scale mecha, and name it the "Transformers" project.

Moreover, when Kai was outside, he would pay attention to collecting some different armors, battle armors, etc., from the Marvel world and give them to Gear to help him perfect the "Transformers."

"Gear, how's it going? Did you analyze the detailed information on Iron Monger last night?"

Kai asked as he looked at the busy Gear.

At this time, Gear heard Kai's voice, turned his head to look at Kai, and said:

"Oh, Master, I carefully analyzed the video you brought back."

"Oh? What's the result?"

Gear hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, I didn't get much useful information from the video analysis."

Hearing what Gear said, Kai thought: Then I recorded the video for such a long time in vain, and it turned out to be useless.

Just as Kai was considering whether to go and find out where Obadiah hid the information about Iron Monger, Gear continued:

"But you don't have to worry, Master. When the video was no longer useful last night, I had already started looking up all the information about Obadiah. In the end, I found that he most likely put the information in Area 16 that he personally set up."

Kai heard that Gear had the same idea as himself. When he learned that the video was useless, the first thing he did was to look for the original information hidden by Obadiah. So he looked at Gear, wanting to know what else he had done.

"After I found the place where he stored the information, I asked Turbo to go out and make a copy of the information before many people thought of it and brought it back."

Hearing this, Kai laughed happily.

He didn't expect that Gear had become more flexible in doing things and more comprehensive in considering issues. This made Kai very pleased. He felt that Gear must have been influenced by him because they had been together for a long time.

Seeing that Kai was lost in some kind of fantasy again, Gear turned around and continued to busy himself with his work — combining Tony's Iron Man suit and Obadiah's Iron Monger, selecting the parts that better suited Kai's requirements, and then combining them together to learn from the best of both worlds.

When Kai woke up from his imagination, he saw that Gear was still busy, so he stopped disturbing him and returned to his room upstairs in the restaurant.

Before leaving, he told Gear: "You don't have to be so busy; take your time. According to the timeline, it should be about four years before it can be used."

Back in the room, the news was playing on TV.

Rhodey stood on the podium:

"Everyone has received the official statement from Stark Industries last night. According to unconfirmed reports, a prototype robot malfunctioned, causing it to fire randomly at the wrong target. Fortunately..."

After seeing this, Kai stopped paying attention to what was said in the news and opened his mobile phone to see what everyone was saying on social media.

As soon as he opened the app, nine out of ten videos were talking about the battle last night, and somehow a surveillance video of the fight had been found, including the scene of Tony's suit battling Iron Monger.

Some people were speculating:

"Oh my god! Is this a new weapon that Stark Industries is going to use to control the world?"

"I think this should be Tony's latest invention!"

"Isn't anyone curious whether there's someone inside that humanoid mecha?"

"I think the name 'Iron Man' sounds good."

"No, I think calling it 'Iron Man' is more direct."

. . .

Many onlookers were talking about it.

At the same time, Tony, who was waiting for the press conference to start, was sitting backstage with nothing to do, so he called Kai and asked him to come over to watch the press conference.

After receiving Tony's call, Kai came to the villa and brought Yinsen with him.

When seeing Tony, Kai said:

"Hey, isn't this our famous 'Iron Man'? What do you think of this title that everyone gave you?"

Kai moved closer to Tony and used his hand as a microphone to ask Tony questions.

"What? What title?" Tony didn't know what happened in the short video.

So Kai told him the comments from social media.

Tony also opened the app for a rare time, watched his own videos, and read the comments.

When seeing someone calling him "Iron Man" or "Iron Monger," Tony complained to Pepper:

"Um, Pepper, you see, their name for me isn't quite accurate. In fact, the Iron Man suit is made of gold-titanium alloy, but who knew people would associate it like this?"

Just as Tony was complaining, Coulson came over with a few speeches and handed them to Tony:

"This is the alibi we prepared for you."

Tony looked at it, then took it. "Okay."

Coulson went on to explain:

"You were on the yacht at the time, as evidenced by the Port Authority, and you were anchored in Avalon Harbor overnight, as well as the testimony of 50 guests."

It seemed that SHIELD had already prepared an excuse for Tony, complete with evidence.

But Tony looked at the note in his hand, frowned, and said:

"Actually, I think it's better to say that it was just Pepper and I on the island that night."

After speaking, Tony looked up at Pepper, wanting her consent.

But Pepper, who was putting makeup on Tony, had a speechless expression and didn't want to pay attention to Tony.

Coulson said at the side: "We can't cheat, just read it as it is."

"Okay!" Tony made himself look unhappy and flipped through the note in his hand.

"No mention of Obadiah?"

"Oh, we took care of it. He went on vacation. You know the safety of small airplanes — it's really poor."

Then Tony continued to ask: "But how are you going to explain something that was made up out of thin air?"

"This isn't the first time I've done something like this. As long as you follow the official statement, everything will be fine."

Speaking of this topic, Kai could see that Coulson became more confident.

Then Coulson glanced at Rhodey, who was speaking on TV, and said, "You only have 90 seconds!"

After saying that, he nodded to Kai and Yinsen, pretending that he knew them for the first time, and turned around to leave.

At this moment, someone caught up with him and said to Coulson at the door: "I want to express my deep gratitude for all the help you have provided."

Coulson smiled and said, "This is my duty. We will cooperate again in the future."

Yinsen said to Tony "Tony, I think what this person said makes sense. As long as you do what they say, nothing will happen."

Yinsen looked at Tony, wanting him not to change the contents of the note casually.
