Chapter 91, Party
A few nights later, the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York was crowded with people, filled with high-class people wearing luxurious dresses and smart suits, as well as reporters with camera flashes ready to take pictures.
Tonight, Tony Stark will award a donation fund to the Fire House Foundation for the third time. With the experience of the first two times, it is obvious that today's place is not just a venue for awarding donation funds, but also a venue for the so-called upper class society. A place for communication and gathering.
In front of the bar in the lobby, Coulson was sitting here with Daisy and Holm, drinking and chatting.
"I really don't understand why I have to dress like this to attend such a banquet. It's really inconvenient, especially with these high heels. I feel like I might trip over myself if I take two more steps."
Daisy sat on a high stool and lifted up the skirt of her black tube top dress. She looked at the exquisite pair of high heels under her feet, but she didn't like them.
Her fair and slender legs also loomed in the slit on the side of the dress as she moved, which invisibly added a bit of charm and style.
And as she continued to move, waves started to rise on her chest, and even the string of bright jewelry around her neck suddenly started to shake.
Daisy didn't seem to think there was anything inappropriate about her actions, but Holm, who was sitting next to her, looked at the scene and couldn't help but coughed slightly and moved his eyes away, while whispering to her to be careful of exposing herself.
Although Daisy herself didn't like her outfit tonight, I have to say that it really made her look very different from before, fully displaying her normally hidden sexiness and beauty, and it also surprised Holm. I felt like I had made a mistake before and didn't notice that Daisy was so rich.
This may also be because ordinary casual clothes are not as good at highlighting the figure as dresses like this. After all, rich people usually wear clothes with less cushions, while poor people like to wear clothes with more cushions. This kind of advancement and retreat has caused everyone to They all look similar.
Hearing Holm's whispered reminder, Daisy could only sit up straight and stop moving, and patted her chest to make the hidden tape in the dress stick tighter and make it less likely to leak.
"It's really annoying. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to the clerk's instructions to wear this outfit. I didn't feel any inconvenience at that time, but now that I'm traveling through time and space, I feel something is wrong. It's really troublesome." Daisy dialed herself. He checked the hair on his ears and made sure that the earrings on his ears were still there, then he frowned and drank the Coke in the cup in one gulp.
And as she covered her mouth and hiccupped lightly, her frown slowly relaxed, and it seemed that the irritability just now floated away from her mouth along with the carbon dioxide.
Listening to Daisy's complaints and watching her little movements, Holm also took a sip of the soda in the cup, and then joked to her: "After all, the clerk who matched your clothes didn't know your personality, let alone what you would do." Dress so elegantly and then drink Coke and burp at the same time."
"Look at the people here who are not holding champagne. They look dignified and elegant. They don't even smile too hard. It's really hard for the waiter who just ran to buy you a Coke. He probably didn't expect to encounter such a situation. guests."
Listening to Holm complaining about her, Daisy had no way to refute. She could only snort dissatisfied and continue: "If it is not an important task in the future, I will never come to such an occasion again. Today I admit defeat." , I shouldn't be curious about this kind of situation, to be honest, staying in the base and typing on the computer is better than this."
Hearing this, Holm also shrugged and said: "It's useless to knock any more. We can only find some superficial information. To get to a deeper level, it will take longer or some other means. We don't have that much time now." , so we can only take other measures."
In the past few days, the two of them had a hard time talking about the Stark Group's infiltration mission. To say it was fruitless, Daisy did break through the Stark Group's defense and was able to access most of the information.
But to say that there are many results, most of this information is of little use. If you want to get deeper secrets, you need to continue to delve deeper, but it will take longer to continue to delve deeper.
Coulson also knew the progress of their mission and knew that the current dilemma was time, so he brought them here to think of other measures.
"The warm-up has been completed. Celebrities will enter the venue one after another. Now we just have to wait for Miss Pepper to arrive." Coulson also came to the two of them with a wine glass at this time and reminded them. .
Seeing that Daisy seemed unhappy, he also asked with concern: "What's wrong? Your current bitter melon face doesn't go well with your bright and shining face today."
"If you don't match it, don't match it. I'm too tired. I'm tired standing up, but it's uncomfortable to sit down." Although Daisy said this, she still tried hard to adjust her expression to make herself look stinky. less conspicuous.
To become a king agent, expression management must be adequate.
"It's better to sit as much as possible, standing is more tiring, but such tasks and occasions will always be unavoidable in the future, so you have to get used to it in advance." Colson also comforted Daisy.
Daisy nodded when she heard this. She decided to practice her manners in high heels and dresses when she went back, so as not to embarrass herself in similar tasks in the future.
Speaking of which, she really envied Holm. Boys don't have difficult items like high heels to master. In addition, Holm has a good figure and manners, so just changing his clothes can fit the atmosphere here perfectly. There seems to be no contradiction.
After talking to Daisy for a few words, Colson looked at Holm again and said, "You seem to have adapted very well, and you have blended in well with the atmosphere here. You don't seem to be out of place at all. There's nothing like that that makes it obvious something is wrong at a glance."
"You are much better than I was back then. I remember when I first performed this kind of mission, Director Fury teased me and said that I was the most eye-catching person in the room, because you could tell just by looking at me. I'm either an agent or a cop, hahaha."
Colson's self-deprecating joke instantly made everyone laugh, and Daisy didn't look as nervous as before.
After continuing to chat for a while, Colson looked at the crowd who had started to enter and Pepper Pepper in a blue dress, and said to Holm: "The target has entered the venue, everything should be ready, in a moment Just follow the plan."
Chapter 92, you are out
Hearing this, Holm also nodded and smiled, indicating that everything was under control and there was no problem.
But before Pepper finished taking the photo and came closer, there were exclamations one after another outside. From their noisy voices, it could be distinguished that someone seemed to be calling Tony Stark.
Tony Stark is indeed here. I wonder how his steel armor is made now. Judging from the sudden change from his silent state of the past few days and his sudden arrival here today, he should have enough questions in his mind. too much.
Home thought as he picked up the cup. While he was drinking water, Tony Stark gently hugged Pepper on the left and Obadiah on the right. He gradually walked away from the door with a formulaic smile for taking pictures. close.
Although the smile on his face hid part of his emotions, Holm could still see the depth in Obadiah's eyes and the hidden displeasure on Tony Stark's face.
If it is the same as in the movie, this party is the beginning of the two of them breaking up, and Tony will later ask Pepper to help him find evidence of Obadiah's crime.
But now many things in the early stage have been changed. For example, the terrorists have basically been wiped out, and the steel armor has fallen into the hands of SHIELD, not Obadiah.
Based on these circumstances, Hom still doesn't know whether the follow-up will develop like the movie. As of now, it seems that the three of them did come to the party together, but what will happen next is still unknown.
"I think Tony Stark also saw the news about Gemilla. He had asked about that town before. It was the hometown of the person who was trapped in the cave with him." Philin Coulson looked at it. Guessed based on the relationship between Tony Stark and Obadiah.
Daisy also continued: "Now there should be nothing to doubt about this guy. After all, it is a well-known fact that weapons of the Stark Group appeared in the town of Gemilla."
"Even if he no longer wanted to believe that Obadiah had ties to terrorists, he has to believe it now."
"Yeah, now it depends on how he wants to deal with it." Holm also nodded and said.
On the other side, after letting the media take photos, Tony pulled Obadiah aside and looked at him and asked: "Have you seen those photos? The photos of the town of Gemilla, what is the situation there? "
"Why are our weapons in the hands of some terrorists again? I remember I didn't approve this deal, right?"
Hearing Tony's question, Obadiah also patted his shoulder and said helplessly: "What kind of reporter did this? Tony, Tony, you can't be so naive anymore, again." , the company is not yours alone."
Before he could finish speaking, Tony interrupted him and said sharply: "You are right. I was really naive before. I really believe that you stick to your principles and know that there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed."
"Tell me, we have been doing business secretly, right? Those terrorist weapons were indeed sold to him by us, right?"
"And you! Obadiah Stane, you have always known it, all of you have known it, but you still did it, keeping me in the dark, and using that nonsense about upholding justice and order to justify it. I!"
The more Tony spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became a little higher unconsciously. Seeing this, the reporters next to him also pricked up their ears, as if they were about to rush over after smelling a fishy smell.
Obadiah didn't say much when he saw this. He just turned his head and stared at the reporter with cold eyes, and then waved to his bodyguard.
Immediately afterwards, several rich and powerful bodyguards stood in front of the reporter and politely invited him out.
After the reporters were no longer in the way, Obadiah turned his head and hugged Tony and continued walking towards the empty passage.
At this time, his face was no longer as kind as when he faced Tony in the past, but instead was full of disdain and coldness.
He put a hand on Tony's shoulder, and then lowered his voice and said to him: "I have no time to continue playing this kind of house game with you. I might as well tell you that the board of directors has passed a resolution to kick you out." Go out, and I have passed the approval and signed, and you are out."
"If you can be obedient, I will find a mental hospital with better conditions and send you to it so that you can live the rest of your life with peace of mind. This can be regarded as an explanation to your father."
"If you continue to mess around with me here and try to hinder me, even New York is not without terrorists. Tony, don't challenge my patience."
Hearing Obadiah's cold threat, Tony opened his eyes wide, and said in a sad and angry voice: "Those terrorists were indeed hired by you! Why did you do this?!"
When he heard Obadiah talking about terrorists, Tony shattered the last illusion in his heart. He had been trying to convince himself that the dispute between him and Obadiah was just a dispute caused by different ideas, but Now it seems that those SHIELD agents were right.
The difference between Obadiah and him is not a simple ideological difference, but that he wants to get rid of himself and take full control of the Stark Group, and completely hold this huge empire in the palm of his hand.
"Why are you so surprised? Haven't you already suspected it?" Obadiah looked at Tony with cold eyes and said.
"You have been secretly making something in the laboratory without telling me. Isn't it because you doubt me?"
"Now that you know all this, I don't need to play any more drama with you. As your last work, I will help you carry forward the Ark Reactor project and your steel armor."
"Of course, this premise is that you cooperate enough. If you are unwilling to accept my proposal and cooperate obediently, then I think there is no need for a useless person to continue living. I will send you down early to meet your old man. Dad met."
Hearing that Obadiah even knew about the steel armor, Tony was suddenly horrified and a little confused.
He felt as if he had done something wrong, and he had done something wrong from the moment he got off the plane and came back here.
He shouldn't have harbored any illusions about Obadiah, causing the situation to completely collapse like this.
"Why do you know about steel armor?"
Looking at Tony's pale question, Obadiah also showed a winner's smile, then raised his watch and looked at it.
"That's your biggest problem, Tony, you're so arrogant, so arrogant that you think everyone else except you is a fool and a fool."
"I know that there is naturally my way. Not only that, judging from the current time, your research materials and latest results should also be in my hands."
Chapter 93, 2 USB drives
"What!?" Looking at Obadiah's confident smile, Tony also thought of the worst possibility.
"Have you sent someone to the laboratory?" Tony felt his throat was a little dry. He had just finished improving the Mark 2. If such a weapon fell into Obadiah's hands.
"Buzz!" A harsh buzz interrupted Tony's thinking, and at the same time, he was instantly sluggish and unable to move as if he had received an electric shock.
"Stop having any unrealistic illusions, Tony, you have already lost." Obadiah said as he took the buzzing small device away from Tony's head and turned it off.
He took off the earplugs from his ears, then supported Tony, who was stiff and unable to move, out of the back door, and handed him to his confidant.
This confidant is a man with obvious scars on his eyes. He is responsible for Obadaya's security and is also responsible for helping him deal with some shady matters.
"Take him to the "secret room" and remember to keep a close eye on him. No one is allowed to come into contact with him, and he is not allowed to kill himself. I still need the things in his head." Obadiah ordered the scar face next to him. .
Scarface nodded when he heard this, then looked at Tony who was stiff in the back seat but his eyes were full of unwillingness and said: "But according to his character, he shouldn't be able to write those things honestly as you want. Do you need to use some means to come out?"
"His character? Huh! What kind of character does he have? His current character all comes from his privileged life and a life where he has not experienced any setbacks." Obadiah said with disdain.
"When he goes crazy because of hunger, or collapses because he can't rest, you will find that he is no different from other people, and even more miserable than ordinary people."
After saying this, Obadiah seemed to be worried that Scarface's methods were too drastic, so he then warned: "Without my permission, he is not allowed to be interrogated with physical harm. Take good care of him for a few days first. If he It's okay to know what's interesting, but if he doesn't know what's interesting, then stop his food first, and then prohibit him from resting. You can make him mentally tortured but you can't really kill him, do you understand?"
"I understand, boss. I will definitely follow your instructions and take good care of him." Scarface nodded in response.
Then he quickly tied up Tony's hands and feet in the back seat, put a black hood on him, and then drove out of the venue through the back door of the car.
Watching the vehicle's taillights disappear into the night, Obadiah straightened his clothes, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, then walked back to the venue.
Everyone in the venue didn't know what changes had happened in this short period of time. Everyone was still smiling and communicating politely with each other in an attempt to expand their social circle.
Holm also separated from Pepper on the dance floor and returned to Colson and Daisy. He looked happy and seemed to have accomplished all the things he wanted to do, but Pepper became a little worried.
Time went back to just now, when Tony and Obadiah left the venue, Holm and Coulson exchanged glances and walked towards Pepper who was alone.
At this time, Pepper was still thinking about the strange atmosphere between Tony and Obadiah, and was completely unaware of Holm who had walked up to her.
It wasn't until she bumped into him and stepped on Holm's leather shoes that she quickly recovered and apologized sheepishly: "Sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, Miss Pepper, it's not a big deal." Holm said with a smile, not taking these little things to heart at all.
Pepper was also a little surprised to hear that Holm seemed to know her, and then she urgently thought about when she had met Holm.
She often encounters such embarrassing things, but fortunately, her memory has always been relatively good, and she can often remember them in two or three seconds.
But today, she thought about it for several seconds and didn't think about when she had communicated with Holm, so she could only say softly with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, have we met somewhere? I've been busy recently. My memory isn't very good."
"I should be sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Holm Clint. I am a colleague of Chief Coulson and I also work for SHIELD." Holm looked at Pepper and explained.
After hearing Holm's explanation, Pepper finally reacted. At the same time, she also saw Philly Coulson sitting in front of the bar and greeting her with her eyes.
"So that's it. Is there something wrong with you? Or is it still the same thing that Mr. Colson mentioned last time? If it is those, it seems that I have communicated with him last time. That is what I meant. Mr. Stark means." Pepper responded, thinking about what Tony had said to her before.
After hearing what Pepper said, Holm was not in a hurry to say anything more. Instead, he listened to the music in the venue and extended his hand to invite her: "I just want to ask Ms. Pepper to dance. No." Do you know if you have this honor?"
Pepper was also a little surprised by Holm's invitation. He instinctively wanted to refuse but was curious about what Holm was trying to do. So after pausing for a few seconds to think about it, she finally put her hand on Holm's hand. Mu's hand.
Holm smiled slightly when he saw this, then held Pepper's hand and walked onto the dance floor.
As soon as she made contact with Holm's hand, Pepper immediately felt something hard in her hand.
She looked at Holm with some doubts, but Holm did not continue to pretend, and explained softly and straightforwardly: "This is a USB disk, which contains some explosive information about Obadiah Stane."
"Based on the information here, we have reason to suspect that Obadiah Stane is the culprit who instigated terrorists to kidnap Tony Stark."
"He has a long-term cooperative relationship with those terrorists. All the Stark Group weapons used by those terrorists were resold by him."
"I think my commander has made it clear to you before, but Mr. Tony Stark is always hesitant."
"I can understand your refusal of our cooperation because of Mr. Stark's instructions, but I think you should take a look at the information with your own eyes and make a judgment for yourself whether it is us making a fuss or Mr. Stark. Too emotional."
"I can only remind you that if Mr. Stark still doesn't take measures against that guy like he is now, then he will be the unlucky one in the end."
"After all, compared with him, Obadiah Stane's most important thing is ruthlessness."
Seeing Pepper's eyes opening wider and wider, and her eyes becoming more and more wavering, Holm also smiled and stopped dancing as the music stopped.
"By the way, then find a secret place and safe device to open this USB flash drive without leaving any traces."
After Holm finished speaking, he walked away from the dance floor, and after being stunned for a moment, Pepper also walked to the corner of the venue to think alone.
Under the dim light in the corner, Pepper slowly opened his palm, revealing the small USB drive that Holm had just given him.
Then she reached behind her hair and took out an equally small USB flash drive with a classic car sticker on it.
Chapter 95, the plot of the rampage
"Good morning, Ms. Pepper."
"Good morning." Pepper responded to the greetings of others as she walked out of the elevator and walked towards her office.
As soon as he entered the office, Pepper locked the door and adjusted the glass to a matte finish. He nervously pulled up his chair and turned on the computer in front of him.
After the computer was turned on, she inserted the USB disk without stickers into the computer, then opened the information inside and read it.
This USB flash drive was given to her by Holm at the party last night. After struggling all night, she finally made up her mind to see what was in it.
Another USB flash drive with stickers was given to her by her boss Tony Stark, asking her to find an opportunity to plug it into the computer in Obadiah's office to search and copy some secret information.
This approach shows that Tony is also suspicious of Obadiah, and she has already had thoughts in her mind after having contact with SHIELD before, and now she can confirm again to see if it is what they think. That way.
While her thoughts were swirling, the file in the USB flash drive had been opened. It was full of videos and graphic materials related to Obadiah.
The more Pepper browsed, the more frightened he became, and the more convinced he was that Obadiah was the mole and had arranged the unexpected kidnapping.
What she didn't know was that while she was watching the information, Daisy in the building next door was also shocked. She immediately pulled the computer on the table to her lap, and then clicked on the keyboard.
"Haha! The opportunity came. Sure enough, she looked at the USB flash drive, and it was still inside Stark Tower. I thought she would look at it at home first, so I would have to put in a lot more effort. Unexpectedly, now Being directly at the Stark Group saves me a lot of effort."
Listening to Daisy's excited words, Holm also jumped up from the sofa next to him, pulled up a stool and sat next to Daisy to watch the big screen.
"Did you find any information? Put it on the screen for me to see. Now that you have Miss Pepper as a springboard and cover, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get all the information on the Stark Group."
After listening to Holm's words, Daisy nodded confidently and said, "Of course, the Stark Group will open its arms to me soon."
As she spoke, the movements of Daisy's hands became faster and faster. After a while, she was seen tapping hard on the keyboard, and then countless folders and secret information appeared on the big screen in front of her. .
"Done!" Daisy looked at the Stark Group's database in full view, and raised her hand to Holm with excitement.
Seeing this, Holm also smiled and stretched out his hand to give her a high-five. Then he pointed to the folder on the big screen and said, "It's not over yet. You have to find all the information related to Obadiah." Come out, preferably with direct evidence that he communicated or even traded with terrorists."
"When we find all these things and report them to Commander Coulson, our mission will be considered over."
When Holm was talking, Daisy, who was looking up information, suddenly turned serious. She immediately pulled out the information and put it on the big screen, and then said to Holm: "If I read it correctly, this should be Stark's steel armor design drawings and parameter drawings, why is this thing in Obadiah's place?"
Searching along this thing, Daisy also projected more and more secrets on the big screen.
"Secret research institute? Iron Overlord armor design? This Obadiah seems to want to build a steel armor too!" Daisy exclaimed loudly while looking at the information of the secret research institute that was just established.
Listening to Daisy's exclamation and looking at the information displayed on the screen, Holm also felt that his head was a little down.
Didn't the party just end now? How did Obadiah get this information and design Iron Overlord?
You have to know that the first-generation steel armor that should have belonged to him in the desert was currently under the supervision of SHIELD. How did he know about this and how did he come up with this idea?
It was clear that the story had been seriously interfered with and changed at the beginning, but why now, instead of deviating or slowing down, the process has accelerated in an outrageous direction.
According to the progress of the movie, Tony should drive Mark 2 to the town of Gemilla to eliminate a wave of terrorists. Then with the help of Pepper, he learned Obadiah's true identity and was snatched away. Ark Reactor, why are things developing completely different from this now, and the situation seems to be getting worse.
Thinking of this, Holm immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call Phil Coulson. Unexpectedly, the phone rang first. The caller ID on it was Chief Coulson.
Seeing this situation, Holm also had a bad premonition, and when he answered the phone and heard Coulson telling him that Tony Stark was missing, this premonition was fully verified.
"Miss Pepper just contacted me. She said that she found evidence of Obadiah's crime, but she doesn't know why she can't contact Tony Stark.
"After that, our people immediately rushed to Tony Stark's residence, only to find that the place had been burned to black, and there was an unidentified male corpse inside." Coulson briefly told Huo the current incident. Mu.
"Male corpse? Is it Tony Stark?" After hearing this, Holm felt that his throat was a little dry.
He had never imagined that things could develop to this point. If this corpse was really Tony Stark, his world view would have to be reshaped again.
When he first came here, Peter Parker died immediately, and now if Tony Stark dies again, he feels extremely suffocated just thinking about it.
"It's not Tony Stark. We tested it right away and confirmed that the male body was not his." Colson's answer made Holm breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he hurriedly gathered his thoughts and told him what they had just discovered after hacking into the Stark Group: "Obadiah established a new secret research and development department in the Stark Group, and also followed the instructions of Tony Stark. Based on the research information, a steel armor called Iron Overlord was designed."
After exchanging their respective information, they also had a general understanding and guess about the current situation.
To their surprise, Obadiah took coercive measures directly against Tony. Not only did he take away his armor and all his information, he also set fire to the villa and left a male corpse to hide his identity.
Judging from this arrangement, although Obadiah moved quickly and fiercely, he should have left Tony alive. He wanted to get more information and ideas about armor from him, otherwise the body would have been a real person. .
It's just that now I don't know where Tony has been hidden, and what kind of plan the other party has.
Chapter 96, Tony in embarrassment
In a small white room, Tony Stark was firmly fixed on a bed, half-lying. Except for his head, which could still move, his hands and feet were tightly tied with chains. There can be no movement at all.
Faced with such a situation, he was not only annoyed but also angry. No matter how he tried to break free, the heavy and cold chains would always slap his current desperate situation on his face again and again, making him try to accept his fate.
Just as his body shook causing the chains to make constant noises, Obadiah's henchman Scarface opened the door and walked in.
He looked at Tony who was struggling very sarcastically, then walked to the bedside with the bowl in his hand and sat down and said: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't break free of this chain, even if a Tyrannosaurus rex comes, it will be trapped by these The chains are firmly tied here, let alone you, a playboy who is worse than an ordinary person."
"If you know what's going on, just cooperate and eat it obediently, otherwise it won't be that comfortable when I move my hand and feed you directly. You should know that I can't be polite to you."
After hearing Scarface's words and threats, Tony looked at him and said coldly: "What? Can you still kill me? If so, I really want to thank you."
"Obadiah just took away my Ark Reactor. He must know by now that that thing is something that other people are totally helpless to make, so it is impossible for him to kill me no matter how much he wants to. I'm going to die, aren't I?"
After hearing Tony's words, Scarface also snorted and said: "Oh, since you know it yourself, then just cooperate and you won't want to know what it feels like to live worse than death."
"I would rather die than live? Wouldn't it be better for me to live now?" Tony said looking at the white ceiling with a desolate look on his face.
There was nothing in his chest at this time. The Ark reactor that was supposed to emit blue light and continue to work had been forcibly taken away, leaving only a worn-out battery to keep him alive.
"I'll feed him, you go out." Obadiah came to the door at some point and looked at Scarface and said.
Scarface immediately stood up after hearing this, handed the bowl in his hand to Obadiah who came forward, and then stood at the door consciously.
Seeing Obadiah walking up and sitting next to him, Tony stared at him, his eyes full of resentment. He hated himself for not seeing through this guy's true face earlier, and also hated that he didn't understand the other party's methods. , and the awareness of prevention is too poor, so that he has sent himself to this stage.
"Don't look at me like this. You should be grateful that I can spare your life." Obadiah looked at Tony's resentful eyes without any emotion.
"You should be glad that you are still useful, otherwise you would have the opportunity to stare at me like this."
After finishing speaking, Obadiah did not continue to speak. He just reached out and pinched Tony's chin, and then poured the paste in the bowl into his mouth.
"It seems that you know that you still want to live, don't you?" Obadiah said sarcastically as he watched Tony swallowing.
No matter who he is, no matter how nice his words are, he always looks the same when facing death and danger.
Hearing this, Tony swallowed the last mouthful of the thick paste, then looked at Obadiah and sneered: "I really have to live well so that I can see what happens to you in the future."
"My fate? Ha, you should care about yourself first." Obadiah threw the bowl aside and said.
"It's already noon. In two or three hours at most, the news that Tony Stark's residence is on fire and that he himself died in the fire will spread throughout the world."
"By that time, whether you are alive or not, you are already dead."
Listening to Obadiah's words, Tony immediately clenched his teeth and his eyes became even more resentful.
Obadiah really refreshed his knowledge over and over again, allowing him to see the shamelessness of the other party again and again.
This approach is to make him disappear from everyone's sight and memory and become a lonely ghost that no one knows. He can only accept his fate for the rest of his life and use the knowledge and ideas in his mind to expand his evil empire.
Tony always believed that his return this time was because Ethan gave him a new life, so he should cherish life as the other party said and not make unnecessary sacrifices.
But in the face of Obadiah's evil plan, Tony's original plan to stay alive and find a solution disappeared instantly. Now he just wants to end it all with his own death, putting a big cross in Obadiah's plan.
Seeing the change in the expression on Tony's face, Obadiah seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said with a smile: "What? Do you think it's best if you die?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you die easily. You have to contribute to my plan and contribute."
"Even if you go on a hunger strike, I will have someone inject nutrient solution into your veins, and I will have someone replace your battery every day, just like you did in the cave, so don't even think about struggling."
After saying this, Obadiah reminded him as if something suddenly occurred to him: "By the way, let me remind you in advance, never think of giving wrong guidance to those researchers, or deliberately disrupting their experimental process. ."
"You don't want to live anymore, and you think it doesn't matter if you die, but Pepper and Rhodes are still alive and well. They don't have the same idea of not wanting to live as you do."
"If you dare to fool me or deliberately hinder my plan, I will let you know what cruelty is by punishing them."
"I think you should know very well what my methods are now, so I hope you won't do anything that will hurt yourself and your friends. This is good for all of us, what do you think?"
If looks could kill, Obadiah would have been chopped into pieces by Tony.
But unfortunately, Tony, who was firmly tied to the bed, did not have such skills. He could only watch Obadiah stand up angrily, and then smiled and waved to him goodbye like a winner.
Is this really all we can do? Tony thought in despair. He never thought that one day he would become like this, unable to survive or die.
Even friends who are close to him are used as bargaining chips and placed on one side of the scale, and they will become victims of this battle at any time.
"Sorry, Rod, sorry, Pepper" Tony looked at the white ceiling with dull eyes.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his empty eyes gradually became condensed.
"Pepper's USB flash drive. SHIELD still has hope! Pepper may be using the USB flash drive now, and Obadiah can't leave yet!"
"Come here! Come here! Obadiah! I want to talk to you!" Tony shouted like he was crazy.
Chapter 97, action
"Sir, the prototype you want is basically completed." A bald scientist wearing glasses said excitedly to Obadiah.
"Compared to Tony Stark's design, it has stronger materials, a larger size, and more ferocious firepower. It is simply a work of art born for war, a real war machine!"
Following the introduction of the bald scientist, a huge silver-white steel armor slowly rose from the ground. He looked even bigger than the one Tony made in the cave.
The wild lines and the ferocious firepower visible to the naked eye terrify everyone who sees it.
"Originally, we were suffering from energy issues and had no way to start it, but now that we have the Ark Reactor you gave us, its energy is no longer a problem. This reactor gives this war machine a true soul."
"Every time I see this reactor, I feel ashamed of my stupidity. It is clearly right in front of me, but I can't figure it out." When saying this, the bald scientist also sighed with regret.
Although they are both scientists, the gap between people is so big that he may never be able to catch up with Tony Stark in this life.
Tony Stark could build a smaller version of the Ark reactor with a pile of broken parts in a cave in Afghanistan, but he was unable to successfully imitate the prototype.
Listening to the bald scientist's emotion, the happy Obadiah rarely said anything. He just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Study carefully, and one day you will understand it. Now Tony Stark also agrees." Once you understand the reality, if you have any questions, just ask him and he will answer them for you."
"I can give you everything you want, funds, resources, social status, and even valuable scientific research. I can give you all of this, but I only need you to give me what I want according to my requirements. Understand?"
"Understand this thing early and then successfully copy it. I don't want a war machine. What I want is a batch of war machines that can be used as an army." When he said this, Obadiah's hands were also tight. Squeezing the bald scientist's shoulders, the iron-like hands also made the bald scientist feel heavy pressure.
"Please rest assured that my colleagues and I will work hard to conduct research and successfully replicate it as soon as possible. At this stage, we have made some small breakthroughs. With Tony Stark's help and explanation, the speed will be greatly accelerated. ."
The bald scientist quickly lowered his head and assured Obadiah, fearing that the other party would be dissatisfied.
When Obadiah saw this, he didn't say anything. He just patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the secret testing area.
But before he could walk out of the dozens of underground entrance gates, a panic report came from his earphones.
"Sir! We are surrounded! There are many people outside the R&D center now! Ms. Pepper is also here! They also have heavy firepower!"
"They said they were SHIELD and said you had committed treason, intentional homicide, and many other crimes. Let us arrest you without mercy!"
Hearing the voice in the earphones, Obadiah immediately stopped and frowned.
He had heard of the name SHIELD. Tony was able to come back safely this time and this agency helped a lot.
As for the leader in front of them, Pepper, it seems that Tony has also taken action to let Pepper find the secret information, but it seems that he is still a step behind now.
After thinking about the whole story and judging the current situation clearly, Obadiah also put aside his fleeting thoughts of peace talks.
As far as the things he did, if it were true, it wouldn't be enough for him to die ten times, so now that this is the situation, he doesn't have to have any other illusions.
Thinking of this, Obadiah immediately turned around and walked back. At the same time, he also ordered the person on the other side of the headset: "Stop their subsequent actions at all costs. If you can't stop it, delay it. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" His man responded immediately.
At this time, outside the Stark R&D Center, Pepper was taking Coulson and Holm to continue walking inside.
At this time, the R&D center was surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. After obtaining the conclusive evidence, Coulson did not hesitate at all and immediately led Holm to gather people to prepare to forcibly control Obadiah.
This is the way SHIELD does things. As a secret agency, they don't have to pay attention to the legal procedures on the surface. As long as the evidence is sufficient, it is common for them to get on the bus first and then make up for the ticket.
They could even kill Obadiah directly if necessary. Anyway, every crime he committed started at least thirty years ago.
It's just that they are still worried about Tony Stark, who is still controlled by the other party, so they adopt the posture of first surrounding and then preparing for negotiation, without directly attacking.
Now Daisy is also screening all clues about Tony Stark in the base. Once Tony's location is found and his safety is determined, then their pressure measures can start to be used. The low-altitude flying Those Quinjet fighters were already hungry and thirsty.
"Area 16 is inside. Obadiah created a secret experimental area below Area 16 to study that terrible weapon." Pepper said as he pushed open the door of the R&D center.
Normally, even though this place is deserted, there are still one or two service staff. But today, for some reason, there is no one there.
Just when she was feeling extremely confused, Holm next to her immediately pushed her and Coles to the corner next to them and then they lay down on the ground.
The next second, crackling bullets were fired from all directions, intertwining into a tight barrage in the hall, making them quite embarrassed and afraid to show their heads easily.
"Oh! God! When did there be so many people here!?" Pepper covered her ears, a little scared and confused.
Holm lay on the ground and looked at Coulson. At the other party's signal, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Fire suppression cover, twelve o'clock and two o'clock directions, knock out their fire points!"
As Holm finished speaking, several small missiles flew straight in from the door, and then landed precisely on the landing point that Holm just mentioned.
The raging flames exploded instantly, and the fierce gunshots suddenly stopped.
Just before the smoke cleared and sporadic gunshots started to ring out, Holm suddenly jumped up from the ground and plunged into the smoke.
Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground one after another, as if sandbags were constantly falling from above.
The thick smoke gradually dispersed, and looking at the corpses whose heads were twisted 180 degrees, or whose heads and bodies were separated, Pepper suddenly understood what the sounds just now were.
Just when she was stunned, Holm had already arrived in front of them with a normal expression.
Seeing his indifferent attitude and smelling the smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke that kept coming from his body, Pepper's throat twitched and she quickly rushed to the corner next to her and vomited.
Chapter 98, the venom of loving learning (random learning)
Looking at Pepper who was still vomiting, Colson also took out a tissue and was about to hand it to her, but just as he reached out his hand to speak, the sound from the earphones interrupted his thoughts.
"I found Tony Stark! He was hidden by Obadiah in the "secret room" in District 16, which is deeper than the R&D center where you are now."
"Tsk, this guy is really miserable. Obadiah took away the Ark Reactor from his chest and only connected him with a worn-out battery used in cars. He is now tied to a wheelchair with his arms in his arms. Holding a battery and explaining the structure of the Ark reactor to a group of scientists."
Daisy in the temporary base is speaking to Coulson and Holm through the voice channel.
After listening to her words, Holm also asked quickly: "Can you see him now? Can you help me plan another way? I will go down from the other side and bring Tony Stark out."
Hearing Holm's question, Daisy immediately responded: "I hacked a few monitors, so I can see his current movements. As for the lines you want, wait a moment, I'm loading the full page." I have a map for you to plan! This route is feasible!"
"If it were anyone else, this route might not work, but it's just right for you."
After hearing Daisy's answer, Colson also looked at Holm and said: "Now we will divide our troops into two groups. I will lead people to attack from the front, and you will enter from the other line at the same time and attack Tony Stark. Bring it in."
"Understood!" Holm nodded, then turned around and walked to the other side, directly getting into the ventilation duct on the ceiling.
At the same time, Pepper, who had emptied her stomach, finally recovered. She took the tissue handed to her by Colson and wiped her mouth. Then she took a deep breath and continued: "Sorry, let's move on. , District 16 is inside."
Coulson also nodded and waved after hearing this, and then a dozen agents were scattered in front and behind them, continuing to move forward.
They had all taken out their pistols and held them in their hands, ready to shoot at any time. After what they had just experienced, no one dared to take it lightly now.
"Okay, okay, no wonder I can get through where others can't. It turns out that's what it's all about."
Holm was crawling in the ventilation duct, looking at the very solid alloy fence welded in front of him and complaining.
The builders here have long been prepared to prevent others from sneaking in through the ventilation ducts, so they welded high-strength alloy fences to them every other section.
If Holm hadn't had Venom as a helper, he would have been unable to do anything about these fences.
He put his right hand on the fence, and then as the viscous black liquid surged, the black light flashed, and the alloy fences turned into several pieces.
"How many more of these things are there? I should have dismantled a dozen or so. Why do you think there are still so many?" In Holm's consciousness, Venom also yawned out of boredom and complained.
It has lost count of how many such gadgets it has dismantled. It found it quite interesting at first. After all, these gadgets are so strong that humans cannot shake them, but to it it is just a matter of waving its hand. , so it's quite a sense of achievement.
But as he dismantled more and more, and after dismantling more than a dozen in succession, the sense of accomplishment in his heart had long since disappeared, replaced by boredom and irritability.
"I really don't understand why the person who designed this built so many fences. It's clear that as long as a few people are put in, no one else can get in, but why do they build so many?" They were demolished again and again without any soul. Behind a fence, Venom asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's to earn more money for materials." Holm also shrugged and guessed wildly.
"Ah~ I know, I know! This is called kickback, right? Or corruption! I've seen it on TV series starring humans." Venom suddenly said excitedly, and the knowledge accumulated in his head suddenly came into play. Feel.
When he heard its response, Holm also had black lines in his head, and complained speechlessly: "What kind of crappy TV series did you watch while I was sleeping?"
Faced with his question, Venom also thought about it very seriously and replied: "It's okay. I always see what I see. Sometimes it's a suspense drama, sometimes it's an ethics drama, sometimes it's a documentary, and sometimes it's a suspense drama. It's an idol drama. By the way! Did you know that there is a country where idol dramas not only film a male and a female, they also film two males or two females."
Holm's eyes widened immediately after hearing this. Although he had been somewhat mentally prepared, what Venom mentioned was still a bit beyond his imagination.
"Ahem! Well, watch less TV series like this in the future. Don't you like eating chocolate? From now on, I will increase the chocolate budget by 10%. When you have nothing to do in the evening, just eat chocolate and read a book."
"Really! Ouch! I also have chocolate to eat at night!" Holm's suggestion instantly excited Venom. He even became more energetic when chopping down the fence, and his speed became a little faster. Look. This was a bit passive and slow at work just now.
Seeing Venom's excitement, he also secretly reminded himself in his mind that when this mission is over and he returns home, he must carefully screen the TV channels he ordered to prevent Venom from learning something he shouldn't.
As a symbiote, Venom does not need to rest, so when Holm is resting, Venom will carry out some free activities that he likes.
This free activity includes but is not limited to wandering around the house, checking information on the Internet, secretly eating chocolate, watching movies, listening to music, etc.
The reason why it can understand human society so quickly is that its free activities every night really play a big role.
But at present, it seems that this effect has both good and bad effects. While understanding human society, some of the worst aspects of human society have also been learned by venom.
Just as Holm was getting closer and closer to the depths of the base through the ventilation ducts, Coulson and Pepper had also passed through several gates and gradually entered Area 16.
Since Pepper's card was of little use here, Coulson resorted to traditional S.H.I.E.L.D. methods - micro-explosives - to open the doors.
At first, they encountered resistance and attacks from some people after opening the door, but as time went on, the resistance became weaker and weaker. I don't know whether everyone was killed or they were also afraid, so they chose passive confrontation or It's sneaking away.
Although they went smoothly along the way, the more things went like this, the more Coulson felt that something was not right.
With many years of experience as an agent, he always feels that the current situation does not mean that the mission is going smoothly, but that the real storm has not yet come.
Chapter 99, Iron Overlord
As his thoughts rolled around, Coulson and Pepper had passed the last gate.
"Here? Why is it so dark?" Looking at the vast dark space in front of him, Pepper became a little confused.
She only knew the location of Area 16, but she didn't know what it looked like inside. In her opinion, it should be more or less like a serious laboratory, bright and clean, with high-precision equipment everywhere. How could it be so dark, with only some The ticking instruments emitted blue light.
"It seems they have been prepared for a long time." Coulson raised the pistol to his chest and looked around cautiously.
After finishing speaking, he pressed the earpiece again and asked about Holm's current location on the communication channel, and confirmed Tony Stark's current status to Daisy.
After learning that Home was almost close to his destination and that Tony Stark was not in any danger, he also had concerns in his mind.
"Dang Cang! Dang Cang!"
As the agents walked through the dim corridor, the chains nearby also made a sound as they collided with each other.
Pepper was followed by several agents. While recalling the information about Area 16 in her mind, she observed her surroundings with the help of dim lights.
She also knew that it would be dangerous to follow these SHIELD agents, but when she thought about Tony's safety, she didn't want to wait outside and wanted to do her best within her abilities.
Finally, after walking for a long time, Pepper saw some images flashing on the instrument not far ahead.
After she led the agents closer, she saw that there was a huge steel armor pattern painted on it, and on the screen next to it, it said that it had been loaded and was starting up.
The moment he saw these things, Pepper immediately reacted and shouted in a panic to the agents around him: "The steel monster made by Obadiah has activated! Run!"
As she finished speaking, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness behind the instrument, and a huge steel armor slowly stood up from the ground, looking down at the people below like a little giant.
Amidst a burst of machine noise, the huge steel armor that Obadiah called the Iron Overlord also tore off the chains fixed to his body, and then let out a huge roar while waving the chains at the escaping agents and Pepper shook it off.
"Aren't you here to arrest me? I'm right here, don't even think about escaping!" Obadiah's wild shouting came from the steel armor.
Obviously, this huge steel armor gave him immense self-confidence, and now he only felt that he could overturn the whole world.
Those bullets that could have easily penetrated his flesh were now unable to even scratch the skin of the steel armor. They could only clatter to the ground and turn into a pile of deflated, useless bullet casings.
Seeing that the bullets had no effect on him, Coulson also frowned slightly, and then took out the rocket launcher from the box at hand while Iron Overlord was chasing other agents.
The dim light did not hinder Coulson's aim. He pulled the trigger slightly, and then the rocket launcher shot straight in the direction of the Iron Overlord's lunge, hitting it just in time.
"Boom!"
The explosion of flames instantly engulfed Iron Overlord, but unfortunately, the impact of the explosion only made Iron Overlord slightly unbalanced and even smashed the equipment next to him, but it did not cause him any substantial damage.
Moreover, this rocket launcher directly attracted Obadiah's attention to Coulson, allowing him to see at a glance this figure who was obviously the agent leader.
"SHIELD? Ridiculous garbage secret organization, let you see the power that controls the future." Obadiah said as he raised his arm and fired two small missiles in the direction of Coulson. .
Coulson also had a premonition of his actions, so he hurriedly moved flexibly just before the missile was launched, and led other agents through the access control.
"Boom! Boom!"
These two small missiles hit the wall hard, directly bombarding the alloy door carrying the access control until it was somewhat deformed and twisted.
Thinking that SHIELD agents and Pepper had already passed through the access control, and now the walls and doors of the access control were deformed and twisted by him, blocking the way, Obadiah also snorted, and then jumped straight upwards. .
Under the action of the flame repulsion of the armor's footsteps, the Iron Overlord's armor slowly and heavily broke through the ceiling of the secret space and crashed straight towards the floor above.
He planned to use the most primitive method to intercept in the shortest time and the shortest distance.
While Iron Overlord continued to break open the floor, Coulson also rushed out of the gate of the R&D center with the agents and Pepper.
As soon as he left the R&D center, Coulson immediately ordered into the headset, aiming all the heavy firepower around him at the R&D center building.
Of course, he also knew that those gates and traditional walls could not stop Obadiah driving the Iron Overlord, so he was ready to wait for the other party to show up. As long as he dared to show up, all the heavy firepower around him would be tilted to the ground in an instant. On him.
After making these arrangements, Coulson also tapped his earphones and asked Holm, who was also on the channel: "Clint, how is the situation over there? Have you successfully rescued Tony Stark?"
At the same time that Coulson asked this question, Holm had just jumped from the ventilation duct to the ground and broke the neck of a security officer responsible for monitoring this area.
He looked at the route Daisy planned for him, estimated the time and distance and replied to Coulson: "I am very close to Tony Stark. His situation is almost the same as before."
"Those scientists should also know about the changes happening outside, so they want to take Tony Stark with them to a more secret room."
"But it doesn't matter. I will stop them before they see the secret room. Tony Stark will naturally be free again by then."
After hearing Holm's answer, Coulson also raised his wrist and looked at his watch, estimating the three minutes that Holm said.
While he was thinking a lot, the ground of the R&D center suddenly began to bulge and cracks burst out.
The crack visible to the naked eye grew larger and larger, almost splitting the small square in front of the R&D center into two halves.
Accompanied by the sound of clicking machinery and heavy footsteps, a steel monster crawled straight out of the cracked ground.
"Where do you think you can run?" Iron Overlord's shining electronic eyes were staring closely at Coulson, and Obadiah's excited and murderous voice came out from under the steel armor.
There are a lot of things going back to my hometown recently, so there may only be one update in the past two days. After these few days, I will reply with two updates. I will slowly make up for what I owe by then.
Chapter 101, Special Reactor
"I said, can you change the battery for me before I continue walking? It doesn't have much power anymore. I can feel the shrapnel gradually breaking away from its restraints." Tony, who was tied to the wheelchair, said to the experimenters and guards next to him. .
At this time, he was being pushed by these people and running towards a more private place, and the battery in his arms was almost knocked over by him.
Hearing what Tony said, the experimenter next to him also looked at each other, and then continued to push him while explaining: "We will be there soon. The power should not be exhausted before we get there."
They knew very well how much power a battery had, so they also knew that Tony had exaggerated the facts. Even though the battery was indeed running low, the shrapnel in his chest would not be freed as long as there was electricity.
Hearing this, Tony also continued to feel the bumps, while curling his lips helplessly and letting the others push him. He originally wanted to delay it for a while, but he didn't expect that these people were not good at all.
"Click."
Accompanied by the sound of metal, a heavy iron door slowly opened after they verified the information.
Just when they were about to push Tony into the next level like before, several guards standing behind suddenly flew back backwards.
When such a change occurred, the experimenters and the remaining guards hurriedly turned back, only to see that the guards who had just flown out had fallen to the ground with their heads and bodies separated, and in the pool of blood flowing out of them, a man was leading He waved to them with a kind smile.
"Clint?!" Seeing Holm appear, Tony shouted with his eyes wide open, his tone full of surprise and surprise. He was still thinking about how he was going to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect Holm to be like this. Appeared.

Just like last time, when they met this time, one of them was still the rescuer and the other was the trapped one.
However, unlike the last time when he saw Holm's tricks and vomited in embarrassment, Tony only felt a sense of security when he saw the same scene this time.
He has seen Holm's methods and strength, so he also knows that as long as the other party appears here, he will most likely have nothing to worry about.
"We meet again, Mr. Stark" Holm also looked at Tony and smiled.
However, the guard next to them didn't give them any time to continue chatting. Before Holm finished greeting him, he immediately picked up his gun and started shooting!
"Da da da!"
Short and dense gunshots instantly reverberated throughout the space, and Holm's figure moved rapidly in the hail of bullets like a ghost.
While the guards kept turning their guns and shooting at his figure, Holm kept waving the black sharp blades formed with his hands, cutting off their palms one by one as he approached them.
As a result, the gunshots began to decrease, while the screams, which were either short or ended abruptly, began to increase.
Gradually, there were no gunshots in the entire passage, only the dull sound of a figure falling.
This not-so-long passage was now covered with blood that was gradually flowing out, and began to slowly become thicker, dryer, and darker in color.
"It's very impolite to interrupt someone else's conversation, but you should be punished now." As he spoke, Holm walked up to Tony and cut off all the chains that bound him with just a wave of his hand. break.
"Okay, Mr. Stark, the crisis has been resolved. You can follow me out of here now. We should make big moves here next, but we just have to wait until we get out first."
After hearing Holm's words, Tony also held the battery and stood up from the wheelchair with some staggering. The long-term restraint made his blood flow somewhat blocked, which also caused him to have numbness in his hands and feet after suddenly returning to normal.
"Obadiah. How is he? Have you caught him? He took away my Ark Reactor. I think he also wants to build a set of steel armor." Tony asked Huo with some worry. Mu asked.
Although Obadiah didn't tell him anything about the armor, he could feel the other party's ambition and true intentions from the series of actions and methods against him.
They left him alive because they wanted to learn from him all the techniques for shrinking and making the Ark Reactor. They took away the Ark Reactor from his chest because they currently couldn't even imitate it, nor could they make it for the steel armor. Recharge.
Based on his exchanges with these scientific researchers, he can deduce that they are helping Obadiah create a more powerful steel armor at this time, but because they are meaningful to him, he is not sure yet to what extent they have made it. Know.
"We are currently conducting an operation to capture Obadaya. We also have some information about the armor he intends to make. According to our speculation, at this time he..."
"Boom! Boom!" Before Holm could finish his words, several loud noises came through the thick wall.
At the same time, the entire passage began to shake, as if there was a sudden earthquake.
The scientific researchers squatting in the corner were also terrified at this time. They were already panicking because of Holm's methods. They didn't know if they could save their lives. Now they couldn't help but feel even more desperate when they encountered this situation.
"It seems that his armor has been built, and the noise caused is not small. In this case, in order not to affect the subsequent plans, we have to hurry up." Holm supported Tony, who almost fell, and felt that it was gradually calming down. The shock said.
"I didn't expect him to move so fast." After hearing Holm's words, Tony said solemnly.
He expected that Obadaya's movements would not be slow, but he did not expect that it would be so fast. It was not long before the opponent's armor was ready, and judging from the current movements, the armor would only be better than his design. Stronger.
It seems that his Ark Reactor is both an irreplaceable core component and the last key component, otherwise the current situation would not have occurred.
"Wait a moment, there is another important thing." Tony said in a deep voice while forcefully taking a box from the hands of the scientific researcher in the corner.
Seeing how the scientific researchers were reluctant to let go even under such circumstances, it seemed that this box contained something extraordinary.
Before Holm could think any more, Tony had already taken out an Ark Reactor that emitted a faint blue light from the box.
However, compared with the previous Ark Reactor, the shining light of this Ark Reactor is not very strong, and its shape is also much larger than before, and it seems that it cannot be directly stuffed into his chest.
Chapter 102, What is genius
Even though he saw that the Ark Reactor was much larger than the hole in his chest, Tony still grabbed the Ark Reactor without hesitation with one hand, and the other hand was holding the battery and the wire connecting the chest. It looked like It's about pulling it off.
"Mr. Stark!? What are you going to do! You should know that this is just a failed semi-finished product that can neither match the vacancy in your chest nor provide energy normally." Looking at Tony's movements, as the main force The bald scientist who was the researcher also stood up hastily.
He was not only worried about Tony's life, but also worried about this failed half-finished product. After all, only if Tony was alive could they study the Ark Reactor more comprehensively and deeply.
And this failed half-finished product is the closest step they have to success, and he also doesn't want to let this achievement go to waste with Tony.
Hearing the words of the bald scientist, Tony turned his head and looked at him coldly, then pulled the wires off his chest and said disdainfully: "Failed half-finished product? This look is just for you guys to see. ."
While talking like this, Tony kept fiddling with the Ark Reactor in his hand, causing its size to shrink visibly to the naked eye, and some small parts continued to fall to the ground as Tony dismantled it.
"It was just disguised as a defective product by me. I have already built the real Ark Reactor under your noses."
As Tony's voice fell, the original defective product also completed a gorgeous transformation, turning into a small and exquisite finished product under his dismantling and modification.
Even the faint blue light emitted was far more dazzling than before, looking like a real work of art.
"Even if you put such shackles on me, you won't be able to trap me." Tony said in a deep voice as he threw the battery in his arms to the ground, and then placed the Ark Reactor in his hand on his chest.
The Ark Reactor was still working steadily, emitting a soft light, and as the out-of-control shrapnel was once again firmly contained, Tony's face was no longer as pale and weak as before.
"This! How is this possible?! This...!" The bald scientist opened his mouth involuntarily, looking at what was happening in front of him in disbelief.
He didn't dare to think that Tony Stark actually built a complete Ark reactor right under their noses, and successfully disguised it as a defective product for them to study and sigh over.
After the incredible shock, what echoed in the hearts of the bald scientists was deep powerlessness and bitterness. Geniuses are geniuses, and they are absolutely beyond their reach.
In the past few days, they once thought that they were going to catch up with Tony's footsteps, and they soon had results. It wouldn't be long before they would imitate the Ark reactor.
As a result, it seems from now on that this is just an idea that Tony deliberately made them feel. In fact, they do not have the ability or talent to truly understand and appreciate his ideas in depth.
"Huh~ I should have thought of it earlier." The bald scientist took a few steps back feebly and fell to the corner where he had just stood up.
On the other side, Holm also watched all this happen with cold eyes. Like the bald scientist, he also felt at this time that Tony's playboy style and undistinguished personality concealed the amazing talent that people had to admire.
Tony really played a good trick on these scientists this time, and made these scientists deeply realize their true level. Every one of them was dejected, as if they had lost their souls.
"As expected of Mr. Stark, it's an amazing idea, but we wasted some time, so we need to speed up the pace." Holm also praised Tony, and then quickly continued to urge.
Tony also knew that he had wasted some time, so he did not hesitate, nodded and climbed up the ventilation duct with Holm.
It is of course the most spacious to go back along the route Tony just came in, but there are a series of access control there, so in general it is still more time-consuming than climbing through the ventilation ducts.
Tony also knew that the situation was urgent at this time, so even though he felt that climbing into the ventilation duct was very inelegant, he did not say anything more. After all, compared with this little detail, his own life was obviously more important.
"What are we going to do now?" In the slightly trembling corner, a researcher wearing glasses looked at the bald scientist and asked.
The bald scientist came back to his senses after hearing this. He looked at the ventilation duct where Tony left for a moment, and then faced his colleagues next to him and said: "Of course we have to escape too. There is no need to pay for it because of Stannie. own life."
"I know you are probably feeling the same as me right now, feeling powerless and helpless, but despite this we can't give up on living."
Listening to the words of the bald scientist, the others nodded, and then climbed up the ventilation ducts one by one like Holm and Tony who had just left.
The bald scientist was the last one. Before climbing up the ventilation duct, he turned to look at the blood stains on the ground that had turned into dark red.
Although he was lucky enough to survive now, he was also puzzled as to why Holm didn't get rid of them as well. This seemed to be inconsistent with the decisive attack the other party had just made.
At the same time, the battle outside the institute also entered a fierce stage.
The Iron Overlord controlled by Obadiah ran rampant in the square outside the institute, relying on his super defense and destructive power to tear open SHIELD's encirclement again and again.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, an armored vehicle was forcibly lifted by Iron Overlord, and then thrown in the direction of a SHIELD firepower point.
"Boom!" After the armored vehicle reached the location of the firepower point, a small missile flew out from Iron Overlord's shoulder, directly hitting the armored vehicle with the firepower point. When it reached there, a ball of explosive flames suddenly rose.
"Hahahaha, I love this armor so much!" Obadiah shouted as he continued to raise his arm and fired at the surroundings with the giant machine gun carried on his arm.
Among SHIELD's firepower, except for armor-piercing projectiles and high-explosive ammunition, other ordinary bullets and artillery have no effect on Obadiah because his armor defense is particularly high.
As an opponent, every attack by Obadiah can cause certain casualties. After all, SHIELD agents are made of flesh and blood, and no matter how well-equipped they are, they cannot withstand Obadiah's ferocious attacks.
