I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 348 Rebuttal

As he spoke, Tony shook his head in front of everyone.

That undisguised expression of disgust seemed to be asking a silent question...

With a brain like yours, how have you managed to survive until now?

The feeling of being humiliated in public made the burly man both angry and anxious, and his face visibly flushed red.

However, even when comparing body sizes, no matter how you look at it, the strongman has the advantage in terms of individual strength.

But the burly man clenched his fists and then opened them, yet he hesitated to use force against Tony.

After all, the persona of being unafraid of power is just for show.

He knew very well that if he acted impulsively and attacked Tony, it would be a serious problem.

The employer who orchestrated his disruptions will undoubtedly abandon him without hesitation, leaving him alone to face Stark Industries' retaliation!

Ultimately, you've missed the point.

Seeing the burly man's face changing rapidly like a traffic light, Tony, who was clearly standing up for Happy, finally smiled with satisfaction.

Then, regardless of what the burly man in front of him was thinking, Tony simply ignored him and continued his speech.

"First, Stark Clean Energy's goal is not to destroy any traditional industries, but to provide all of humanity with a more efficient, cheaper, and environmentally friendly option. Just like how people's lives have been continuously improving since the invention of the steam engine... Moderate competition is a good thing; it can drive world progress, make technology more advanced, and thus benefit all of humanity. As for me, I'm just lucky to be at the entrance to a new era and to be enjoying the benefits of new energy."

"Secondly, there's even less to worry about regarding worker unemployment... Stark Industries' new energy division, even before its official operation, had already directly or indirectly created over 50,000 new jobs, spanning research and development, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance!"

"Meanwhile, according to experts, as the new energy business continues to expand and improve, this figure will continue to grow at a rate of 15% per month!"

"This is enough to prove that while Stark Industries is vigorously promoting new energy sources, it has prepared a comprehensive and practical training program! This program can help any traditional energy industry worker who is willing and able to strive for a better life to successfully transition after professional training and join Stark Industries' future blueprint! Instead of clinging to a sinking ship and helplessly following some old fogies who only know how to live off their savings, drowning in the past together!"

"Third, and most importantly."

At this point, Tony paused slightly, his gaze returning to the burly man whose face was growing paler as the situation spiraled out of control and who had no strong counterarguments to offer. His eyes were sharp as knives, and he deliberately emphasized certain words in his questioning, making his words particularly meaningful.

"You, and those 'friends' behind you who are so eager to convict me, seem very worried about those '30,000 workers.' What touching humanitarian concern! It's truly heartwarming. I thought those conservative old fogies were only thinking about how to bleed the people at the bottom of society to maintain their decaying and dilapidated empire."

"Varied……!"

"And I'm curious, when VoltPower announced last quarter that it would close three aging power plants in the state to save costs, directly cutting 8,000 jobs and bringing the economies of three small towns to the brink of collapse, where were your headlines? Where was your 'guilt'?"

"Uh, this..."

"When Hammer Industries' substandard coal combustion caused Queens' air quality to exceed the maximum level for three consecutive months, and the incidence of respiratory diseases among children to soar by 300%, where the hell was your profound 'humanitarian concern'?! Look me in the eyes! Answer me! Who is profiting from human suffering?!"

Tony practically yelled the last sentence.

The sound exploded in the hall like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

An immense pressure instantly enveloped the entire venue, silencing the entire hall.

The burly man's face turned from white to red, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
