72 Missiles

"Is it better to be feared or respected?" 

"I say, is it too much to ask for both?"

"With that in mind I humbly present you the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate the latest in proprietary Repulsor Technology."

"They say that the best weapon is the one that you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree!"

"I prefer... the weapon you only have to fire once."

"That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far."

"Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their caves." [one of the missiles launches and heads for the mountains in the distance] For your consideration... the Jericho. [missile's warheads detonate and kick up a massive shock wave]

At this moment, the strong airflow generated by the explosion of the Jericho missile happened to hit him, making the whole scene look quite imposing.

Different from others who were covered in sand and dust by the strong airflow, when the airflow was about to reach Zane, Bastis used the power of faith to envelop herself and him, until Zane looked at her meaningfully and she reluctantly enveloped Lorna as well.

So Zane and his team remained clean, but seeing Anna with her messy hair, Zane awkwardly touched his nose. He just felt like he forgot something earlier, turns out he forgot about Anna.

Speaking of which, it must be said that although Tony Stark's character is not very good now, his speech just now was quite charismatic. If Zane were a buyer, he would definitely have sealed the deal right there.

It seems reasonable that Tony could become one of the leaders of the Avengers in the future.

Next, it was time for Skynet Technology to conduct a weapons demonstration. Originally, it should have been Anna giving the speech, but now the deputy general manager Anna, seeing Zane and Lorna still looking clean, was furious, her anger rising, and decided to go on strike on the spot.

She knew that Zane and her team had superpowers, and since Zane and her team didn't deliberately avoid her, Anna expressed strong dissatisfaction with Zane's behavior just now.

Helplessly, Zane had to step up himself.

Seeing Zane stepping forward, the general smiled friendly at him. In fact, compared to Tony, the playboy who is always late, the general favored the steady Zane more. He had already made up his mind that as long as Skynet Technology's Sky missiles had similar effects and prices to the Jericho missiles, this order would go to Skynet Technology.

"Gentlemen, who do you think owns the most firearms?"

"Is it military personnel like you? Unfortunately, wrong. It's civilians. Sixty percent of firearms in the world are held by ordinary citizens, one in ten people. Thirty-seven percent of firearms belong to the military, and the rest belong to the police."

"The armed groups against the government, which the media widely report on, can't even account for one-tenth of a percent of the guns they have."

"So why do those troublesome anti-government armed groups like them still exist?"

Everyone followed Zane's words into contemplation, not because of anything else, just because what Zane said was completely true. They were all eagerly awaiting Zane's answer, although everyone knew in their hearts that Zane was advertising for his own weapons, they still got caught up in Zane's context, thinking about the answer.

This is also a passive effect of the power of faith. Zane, who possesses the power of faith, subconsciously makes people listen to what he says. As long as it doesn't conflict too much with their will, there is a high probability that people will accept what Zane says.

Just like Jehovah coming to the world in myths and legends to preach!

Before everyone could contemplate for too long, Zane gave the answer:

"Because none of you have a crushing weapon in your hands!"

"In this world where you can reach out and get a gun, something like this is more reliable than human nature, which is sad but true!"

"Now let me demonstrate to you all the latest product of Skynet Technology, the Sky missile."

After saying that, Zane had the staff launch the Sky missile. Only to see the Sky missile forming a perfect arc in the air, eventually landing on a mountainside at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by a dazzling white light and a deafening explosion. The small mountain seemed to have been bitten off half by the Sky missile, just like an apple.

The tremendous power made everyone gasp, including Tony Stark, who was standing by preparing to laugh at Zane's expense!

Unlike the widespread bombing of the Jericho missile, the Sky missile focused more on concentrating its power on one point. It could be said that each type of missile had its own advantages and disadvantages.

After the weapons demonstration, the top brass of the military base gathered to discuss which missile to buy. In the end, they decided to purchase the Jericho missile from Stark Group.

There were two reasons for this decision. Firstly, the troops in Afghanistan lacked large-scale destructive weapons like the Jericho missile, after all, there was no need for such a powerful weapon against a few poorly equipped terrorist organizations. Secondly, the price of the Sky missile was exactly twice that of the Jericho missile.

There was no way around it. Skynet Technology, guided by Zane, was focusing on the high-end weapons market. What is a high-end weapon? It's anything that Skynet Technology sells, except for nuclear bombs.

After communicating the delivery date with the Stark Group, the general walked up to Zane with a smile of apology on his face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zane, it's regrettable that we can't cooperate with Skynet Technology. However, the Sky missile is really excellent. My good friend xxxxxxx xxxx is in need of such a weapon. Here is his contact information. I'm sure you'll have a pleasant conversation."

{Guess. Who?}
