"White Queen."
Luke Field called out.
"Please give your orders." A female's magnetic voice sounded in the laboratory.
"Collect news reports on Tony Stark's disappearance," Luke Field ordered.
"All collected." Queen Bai responded almost the next second.
"Delete those gossip entertainment reports, repetitive reports, meaningless, sensational and false reports, and select some reports with higher weight to project." Luke Field waved his hand, and suddenly virtual screens appeared around him, left, right, up, down, and within his field of vision, forming a hemisphere that protected Luke in the center.
"…"
"What do you think about the huge stock drop caused by the kidnapping and disappearance of Tony Stark, the soul of Stark Industries?"
"I'm not in the mood to express my opinion right now. Tony is the child of my old friend Howard. I treat him like my own son or nephew. Until there is any latest news, I will do everything I can to rescue him and support Stark Industries. Stark Industries is the hard work of Howard and me. No matter what the future holds, I will not let it fall."
This is a scene of a reporter interviewing Obadiah Stane, the current manager of Stark Industries.
"…"
"As a competitor in the arms field, Tony Stark has been kidnapped and disappeared. Do you have anything to say?"
"It's unbelievable! This is undoubtedly a huge disaster! As everyone knows, although Tony and I are competitors, we have a good relationship in private. I have always wanted to cooperate with him to integrate the power of Hammer Industries and Stark Industries to create a great new work. I hope he can return safely."
This is a conversation between a reporter and Justin Hammer, the owner of Hammer Military Industries. Although Justin Hammer in the picture tried his best to express deep sorrow, the slightly raised corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal his good mood at the time.
"He's been in a lot of trouble lately. This is probably the best news he has heard in the past few days." Ina Sandra curled her lips as she looked at Justin Hammer with a hypocritical face on the virtual screen.
"Tony Stark has been missing for almost a week. Do you think there's any hope he's still alive?"
"As Tony Stark's most trusted assistant, are you worried about your future, Ms. Potts?"
"...Can you share some of the latest search information? Have you found any trace of Tony Stark?..."
This is Tony Stark's secretary Pepper Potts, who looks haggard and silent, being surrounded by a group of reporters and being questioned continuously.
Other images include scenes of where Tony Stark disappeared, dried blood, and car wreckage.
"I used to not understand why you are so cautious, but these days I have come to understand it a little. This world is too dangerous. Even a figure like Tony Stark can be kidnapped and his life or death is unknown." Ina Sandra recalled the kidnapping that was almost successful by her own security captain Wallace not long ago, and said with some empathy.
Hearing her words, Luke Field felt somewhat helpless. This was only the opening ceremony; what happened next was even more magical.
However, the sense of urgency that time was running out also calmed Luke Field's joy at the recent upgrade.
With a wave of his hand in the air, he swept away all the news reports as if they were garbage.
"Aren't you going to watch it anymore?" Ina Sandra didn't expect that with Luke Field's previous attention to Tony Stark, he would just glance at him and no longer pay attention to him.
"No need to look any further. Have you bought any Stark Industries stock?" Luke Field walked out of the lab, his hands in his pockets. He also needed to plan his future affairs carefully and make the decision he had been hesitant about before.
For example, should I join the Avengers?
For Luke Field, it doesn't matter whether he joins this organization or not. What matters is the people and things he can come into contact with after joining this organization. This is more important.
Building relationships with some of the people in this organization and becoming teammates and partners can be frustrating at times, but it can also be relied upon. For example, if the Order of Mages hadn't been contacted before the Ancient One's quest for eternity, then doing business with them would have been impossible until Stephen Strange became the Sorcerer Supreme and joined the Avengers.
As for establishing a relationship and becoming friends with Stephen Strange now?
Sorry, Stephen Strange is now a sophisticated jerk, just like Tony Stark before he transformed into Iron Man. He's someone people should avoid. And if Stephen Strange becomes the Sorcerer Supreme and uses the Time Stone to perform some tricks or observe things, the relationships he painstakingly built up before his downfall could become a problem.
After all, every capable and talented person in this organization is a paranoid patient.
Luke Field was also very interested in the Infinity Stones, and without a doubt, the organization, or rather the people within it, who had the greatest chance of accessing them was this organization. Of course, if Hydra was also an option, then that could be arranged if necessary.
"You want it?" Ina Sandra was a little confused. It was the first time she heard Luke Field was interested in a stock.
"Depends on the situation, go long on it," said Luke Field.
Ina Sandra shrugged. She had been paying attention to Stark Industries' stock. In fact, although it had been falling in the past few days, or even plummeted, with Ina Sandra's business acumen, she realized that there was a hidden fund that was buying up a large number of Stark Industries stocks that were sold due to panic information.
"Let the professionals handle these matters. We have more important things to do now." Luke Field walked with great vigor, and Ina Sandra followed closely behind him with her long legs in high heels.
"Do you have a new idea?" Ina Sandra caught up with him in tacit understanding.
"Get the industrial park ready. I'll be staying there for the next few days." Luke Field circled his head with his fingers under Ina Sandra's gaze. "Big business."
"How old?" Ina Sandra asked with interest.
"That's enough to put us on par with Stark Industries' military orders," Luke Field said. He planned to test the waters with the high-tech Pacific Rim helicopter. He didn't believe the military would refuse it.
As for Stark's life or death?
What does this have to do with Luke? Business is the most important thing now!
