SWNOVELXO Marvel: I Inherited the Kingdom of Shadows
Chapter 207 Since You Can't Resist, Enjoy It
"Whoosh!"
Heavy panting echoed throughout the conference room, and all the councilors looked embarrassed.
John looked at these beast-like guys with fear in his eyes.
Just now, these guys beat and killed several congressmen belonging to the Hydra side, and they have gone completely crazy.
This filled the heart of the only living John with fear, and he shivered in a corner for a while. If he could, he wished to leave here as soon as possible, but the door of the conference room had already been blocked, so he had nowhere to run even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, no one noticed him for the time being, which was the only consolation.
At this moment, many councilors who had completed their tasks also looked at Tony with flattering faces. Their expressions were like pug dogs, begging for mercy in front of their master, begging for a little reward.
And Tony didn't make things difficult for them this time, and even applauded for them.
"Yes, none of you disappointed me. Don't worry, I will give you whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, Tony turned his head and glanced at Potts beside him. Potts nodded knowingly, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Soon, Potts walked in with a group of people.
Everyone has a glass of water in their hands.
Those who didn't know thought it was just plain cool, but those who knew all stared at the cups in the hands of Potts and the others with staring eyes like hungry wolves.
Soon, a cup was placed in front of all the councilors. Looking at the cup in front of them and the sloshing water in the cup, everyone swallowed subconsciously.
If Tony hadn't spoken yet, everyone would have eagerly picked up their cups and drank it all down.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Tony had a bright smile on his face.
"Drink."
After the words fell, everyone did not hesitate any longer, and drank the water of life in front of them one after another.
Soon, a few minutes later, a transformation appeared in the meeting room, and everyone could clearly feel that they were several years younger, and their bodies were much more relaxed.
However, everyone frowned at the same time.
Because, it didn't achieve the effect they wanted.
After John drank the water of life, he almost completely became a young man. People in their 20s would believe it.
And although they are much younger, they are still at their original age, which naturally makes everyone feel dissatisfied.
Fortunately, with the previous lessons, everyone didn't rebel immediately, but asked in confusion; "Mr. Tony, why do you feel a little different?"
A congressman said euphemistically. Upon hearing this, Tony raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and then slowly explained: "I will naturally answer your doubts."
"Whether it is immortality or returning to youth, it is a rapid and gradual process."
"Once it starts, it cannot be interrupted. Every three months, everyone needs to drink a glass of water of life, so as to achieve the desired effect."
"What about him?"
A congressman pointed to John who was hiding in the corner.
Seeing this, Tony smiled immediately, "He drinks differently from you."
"What he drank is a one-time water of life, which will instantly restore his youth, but the price is that he can only live for an hour, and the time should be about the same now."
Speaking of which, Tony raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his wrist.
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, but the one who was most excited must be John.
Knowing that he only had one hour to live, John felt as if he had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer, and he was completely dumbfounded.
When he came back to his senses, just when he was about to find Tony desperately, at this moment, Tony lowered his wrist and smiled, "It's time."
After the words fell, a horrifying scene happened for everyone. John's body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally young face was covered with wrinkles within a few breaths, and his aging was accelerated.
Just about to make a move, he took a step forward and fell directly to the ground.
As the body fell, the impact sound that everyone had imagined did not appear, but a burst of dust instantly rose up, and John disappeared on the ground, leaving only a pool of white dust.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, everyone was completely stunned, and even many people couldn't accept it at all for a while, and their eyes were full of horror.
What frightened them even more was what Tony said next.
"A friendly reminder to everyone, remember to drink the water of life once every three months, otherwise, you will become like him, aging and dying in an instant."
Tony's tone of voice was still gentle, but the meaning expressed in the words made everyone present fearful.
At this moment, they suddenly heard the side effect that John said, but they didn't care about it before.
But now, thinking about the horrible end, everyone shuddered.
At the same time, they also know that this time, they are completely tied to Stark Industries. Once Stark Industries or Tony are finished, they will be completely finished as well.
Thinking of this, many councilors who had regained their composure couldn't help showing wry smiles.
But there is not much regret.
After all, even if you think about it now, if you can return to your youth, the side effects are nothing.
Even if he has to be a dog for Stark Industries in the future, it doesn't seem to be a bad loss to gain longevity and return to youth.
Thinking of this, everyone was relieved, and instead of worrying about the horrible side effects, one by one began to figure out how to perform better, so that Tony could see more value.
I have to say that these people are people who know the times. To paraphrase Tony's previous life, life is like rape. Since you can't resist, then choose to enjoy it.
After finishing these guys, Tony didn't stay any longer, got up and left the meeting room.
As for the things in the conference room, someone will naturally clean them up, so Tony doesn't need to work hard.
He is not afraid of being investigated. This matter involves two-thirds of the members of Congress, so what if it is found out.
Could they still take down these people in one go?
Therefore, such things as power cannot be too concentrated, once it is concentrated, it is a devil who can do whatever it wants.
The current Stark Industries has tied up two-thirds of the members of Congress. In the future, it will be almost the same in the United States, not to mention walking sideways. Even the one in the White House may not be able to resist.
It can be said that from now on, no one or force in the United States can pose a threat to Stark Industries.
Leaving Stark Industries, Tony returned directly to the seaside villa, and then he had to deal with the Hydra guys.
But he solved those people before he had time to interrogate them, so he needed a helper to find out the group of mice in the dark.
Heavy panting echoed throughout the conference room, and all the councilors looked embarrassed.
John looked at these beast-like guys with fear in his eyes.
Just now, these guys beat and killed several congressmen belonging to the Hydra side, and they have gone completely crazy.
