Levi quickly finalized the agreement with Rhodes.
In fact, after witnessing the capabilities of the new weapons in today's live combat, Future Industries gained significant standing in the hearts of the generals.
The generals on the front lines, after all, were not sitting in the Pentagon.
They were more pragmatic, focusing on the weapons' capabilities.
Otherwise, once defeated, no one would take the blame for them...
The scoundrels sitting in the Pentagon could shift the blame to them, but they had nowhere to shift it.
As the head of the Weapon Development Department, Rhodes understood this even more clearly.
And Military orders were indeed profitable, often amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Levi immediately felt at ease.
America's annual Military expenditure exceeded one trillion, and later even reached two trillion, and even if it was divided by many parties, it still steadily earned more each year.
So, how could making money from the common people be as easy as making money from America?
The real parasites were those who dug at the roots of America!
Levi was very Happy to be one of them.
Tony Stark said, "There's no point in you developing this kind of weapon; if you're going to develop something, develop fighter jets and tanks. Your drone, though, is quite interesting."
Although he was incredibly arrogant, what he said was not wrong.
Things like firearms made too little money.
That's why Tony Stark researched missiles and the like, mainly because they were expensive!
How much does a gun cost?
Levi deeply agreed, saying, "I'll look into it when I have time."
It just depends on when luck is a bit more favorable...
When will a blueprint appear from a ten-roll draw? Then wouldn't it be available?
Tony Stark twitched his lips, wondering why it sounded like he could just develop things casually?
He suddenly put his arm around Levi enthusiastically and said, "Do you want a Military factory? Stark Industries' can be handed over to you."
Levi thought for a moment; the factories he was currently contacting were all across the ocean.
Things like prosthetics and drone parts were all made casually.
But Military factories were different, after all.
"Make it cheaper."
So, Levi said.
Then the two began to haggle.
Rhodes, meanwhile, watched while drinking, and it seemed their relationship had improved quite a bit.
Unlike in the news, where they always seemed to be bickering.
But this was also normal; both of them were shrewd individuals.
In front of the media, it was all for traffic.
...
Tony Stark's private jet, while not as fast as a Quinjet.
But it was very comfortable.
Levi, Eve, and Zero rested for a bit, then returned to New York.
As soon as the plane landed and the cabin door opened, the outside was full of people.
Pepper Potts, and Happy the driver.
Besides them, there was also a large group of reporters.
They had swarmed in as soon as Levi posted the photos.
Tony Stark was incredibly moved and hugged Pepper Potts; as for Happy, the Fat Man, he was out.
"I want a cheeseburger."
Tony Stark said, "I've missed this taste so much."
While they were reminiscing, Levi went straight to the reporters.
No matter what, he couldn't give up on traffic.
"Mr. Levi, how did you find Tony Stark? What was his condition when you found him?"
"Mr. Levi, looking at the photos you posted online, Tony Stark seemed to be in very poor condition. Did he suffer inhumane torture?"
"..."
Levi pressed his hand down, signaling them to quiet down.
Then he said, "When I found Tony Stark, he was like a homeless person. As for whether he suffered inhumane treatment, I have no comment."
His words left the reporters with endless imagination, and they had already thought of headlines.
For example, Tony Stark was brutally assaulted in the Middle East!
Wouldn't that generate traffic?
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Fortunately, Tony Stark himself was there, and he immediately came over with a dark expression.
He originally didn't want to bother with these reporters because he knew there would be nothing good said at this time.
But if he didn't come, Levi would make things sound even worse.
He finally understood that Levi would do whatever it took to get traffic!
He just didn't understand, Levi wasn't a celebrity, so why did he like to gain attention so much?
"I wasn't talking nonsense. In that place, the most important thing for us was to protect ourselves."
Levi said seriously.
Tony Stark was furious.
That little bit of goodwill immediately vanished.
Indeed, business is business, and life is life!
"I'm perfectly fine, I feel great now, I just need a good rest."
Tony Stark immediately said.
"That's right, everyone needs time to lick their wounds!"
Levi nodded.
"I..."
Tony Stark was instantly enraged.
The two of them had a big argument in front of the reporters.
Then, a reporter asked, "Mr. Levi, Mr. Stark, is your previous octagon cage duel still valid?"
Hearing this, Levi and Tony Stark fell silent for a moment.
Then the two exchanged glances.
They both understood each other's meaning.
Actually, Tony Stark also needed attention because he was about to announce the closure of Stark Industries' Military department.
He could already imagine Stark Industries' stock plummeting.
In this situation, he had to find a way to maintain traffic.
To put it bluntly, he wasn't rejecting traffic, he just didn't want to be constantly used by Levi...
Levi was too shameless!
So, he said ambiguously, "I need to rest now. If there's an opportunity, it's not a problem."
Levi also said, "At present, this possibility is not ruled out. You know, anything can happen in this World, including Tony Stark being kidnapped!"
Afterward, the two chose to leave.
Dealing with reporters was still very tiring.
But the reporters were very excited, like greedy little kittens, always wanting more!
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Levi said you're his good brother..."
"..."
But they couldn't stop the vehicles from leaving; this was still an airport after all...
Levi and the two others got into bumblebee, and then bumblebee sped away.
He looked at himself and found that he had indeed gotten quite a bit darker from the sun.
Then, he began to make arrangements.
He told Red Queen to prepare to sell off the stock tomorrow.
Because Stark Industries' darkest hour was approaching, and the stock would be even lower than before.
So, every bit of profit counted.
The Military industry was the core of Stark Industries; once the Military department was announced to be closed, the consequences were unimaginable.
Only Tony Stark had such confidence.
After he built the miniature arc reactor, he already had this idea; it wasn't an impulse.
Then, Levi called Mei and Gwen Stacy, telling them he was back.
During this time, he basically called them every few days, and they were all very concerned about Levi.
Now that they knew he was back, Mei immediately invited him to her house for dinner.
Levi agreed.
As for Gwen, she was breathless, saying she was running.
Levi: I think it's more like parkour...
"I'll see you at the company later, woman!"
So, Levi acted like an overbearing CEO for once.
