Chapter 192. Target: The Inhumans
----
Stark Tower, Manhattan.
Tony stood in the glass-walled command room, frowning. He was still contemplating what Steve Rogers had told him a few days ago.
Steve had reluctantly agreed to support Tony's plan to form a modern-day Illuminati. Tony didn't trust Rogers, not after the whole mess with Bucky, but Steve's endorsement would lend massive credibility.
After all, many of Earth's enhanced individuals grew up idolizing Captain America. His backing could tilt the power away from the military-industrial complex and toward Tony's ideal version of global defense.
There was only one catch.
Reed Richards had to be included.
Tony hesitated.
"Mr. Stark," FRIDAY chimed in. "High-energy units from Osborn Industries have departed from HQ. They're heading to various global locations. Also, Mr. Nolan just sent you a direct encrypted message. Shall I read it?"
Tony sighed. "Go ahead."
As the AI recited Nolan's message, Tony's expression turned grim. Then angry. He slammed his fist on the table.
