[Marvel : Spoiling Spider-man] Chapter 311 - 315
Added 2025-04-17 01:00:03 +0000 UTCChapter 311: The Mark 42 Malfunction
[Tony couldn't help laughing after so many successes. He raised his hands and gave the order immediately.]
["Very good, I think it's OK, launch all the parts!"]
[As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining parts on the table began to move. After circling around him, Tony successfully caught the right leg part.]
[Tony hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, and was still nodding along with the music smugly.]
[The next second, a component rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed, and Tony subconsciously dodged it by moving sideways.]
[This part directly broke through the glass behind the storage armor, knocked off the head of Mark IV and got stuck inside!]
[The next second, another new part flew over, and Tony subconsciously raised his arm to block it.]
[After hitting the arm armor, the lamp broke and fell to the ground.]
[Tony frowned as he watched this scene and made a stop gesture.]
["It seems a bit too fast, slow down! Slow down... that's it!"]
[Before he finished speaking, another part rushed towards his head, and Tony was so scared that he quickly leaned over to avoid it.]
[The part that fell to the ground just before he stood up rushed towards him again, and Tony subconsciously took a defensive posture.]
[Because he avoided it, it didn't fly to Tony, so the part couldn't stop and crashed into two pipes.]
[Another one flew over at this time, and Tony caught it by raising his leg at the right moment. This is the left leg part.]
[But as soon as he put his legs down, Tony was hit hard by the armor under his crotch.]
[Tony screamed, and before he could even cover his vital parts, his back was hit by another part.]
[After being hit, Tony flew forward and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he stretched out his hands in time to activate the thrusters to stabilize his body.]
[He flies back slowly, while complaining: "Can you take your time, Jarvis?"]
[Then most of the parts flew to Tony's body and were assembled.]
[The mask flashed past him, hit the table uncontrollably again and fell to the ground. As soon as it landed, it immediately flew up again.]
[Tony looks at the mask: "Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"]
[The mask quickly flew towards him and changed its position in the air. Tony saw this and immediately did a front somersault and stood upside down to catch the mask.]
[With his handsome landing, it seemed like a successful experiment.]
[However, when the camera came to Tony's face under the mask, it was discovered that the corner of his mouth was injured at some point and bleeding.]
[But Tony didn't care about these little details and said narcissistically: "I'm a genius!"]
[The next second, the part that had been stuck finally restarted successfully, rushed towards him, and directly knocked him out.]
[All the armor parts fell to the ground, and Tony fell to the ground as well.]
[He lies on the ground and takes off his mask. Jarvis quips, "As always, sir! It's always fun to watch you work!"]
"Hahahaha! Tony Stark will never be cool for more than three seconds!" Seeing how he fail, Wanda began to tease Tony without any hesitation.
Steve Rogers tried hard not to laugh. He just thought that although Tony's experiment had some minor flaws, it was finally successful.
He didn't expect this to happen. Even the artificial intelligence Jarvis started to tease him about it.
Tony didn't care about his failure. Instead, he squinted his eyes and watched the scene of himself testing Mark 42, muttering to himself, "Have I reached number 42 yet?"
He didn't know how long it had been since that self, but he knew it certainly wouldn't be too long.
He subconsciously used the armor he had built so far to estimate the time, but then he realized that it was not appropriate because he now had Banner's help.
Although he spent a lot of time researching Mark Destroyer I, he still managed to develop Mark VII and helped Rhodes develop the second-generation war machine and some auxiliary or experimental armor.
After that, he stopped researching new armor, but was influenced by the civil war and was studying nanomaterials, intending to use the new materials to create new armor.
But when he saw the Mark 42 that his future self was researching, he knew that this might also be a route. It was unknown when nanomaterials would be successful, so it would be better to study this No. 42 first!
But Tony didn't know what had happened to him that he hadn't slept for three days? This was not like him!
"Maybe three days without a sleep wasn't that long after all. It didn't feel like it could get any worse! Then I had to turn on the TV, and I saw him!"
[The picture shows many circles entwined with each other to form a new circle, with a pattern of two crossed knives in the middle. There are also special symbols inside these small circles.]
[The scene changes to show a man walking with his hands behind his back in front of a row of people kneeling on the ground.]
[The group of people kneeling in front of the Mandarin were surrounded by terrorists holding guns. As the Mandarin waved his hand, the terrorists opened fire and killed these poor people.]
["Some people call me a terrorist, but I consider myself a teacher! America, get ready to learn a lesson!"]
["In 1864, in Sand Creek, Colorado! After the friendly Cheyenne warriors went out hunting, the U.S. military brutally slaughtered the remaining old, weak and sick in the tribe!"]
["And occupied their land!"]
[As Mandarin spoke, various pictures and videos flashed across the screen.]
["39 hours ago, Ali Salim Air Base in Kuwait was attacked. It was... me who did it!"]
["A quaint military church full of women and children. The soldiers are all training outside. The warriors are not here! President Ellis, you insist on refusing to accept my teachings, sir!"]
["And now, you've missed me again! You know who I am! But you don't know where I am! And you can't foresee my arrival!"]
[The final scene turned into snowflakes in an explosion.]
["The signal seems to have been restored. Let's review the horror... The American radio channel has been hijacked! The country has entered a state of high alert, and all attempts to capture the Mandarin have failed!"]
[As the screen flashed, a large number of news anchors' reports appeared, and each of them gave the audience a rough idea of what had just happened.]
["This government's most important response to this terrorist act is the latest military resource that has just been developed! The Colonel James Rhodes that I know is about to become the Iron Patriot known to all Americans!"]
[On the side of Ellis, Rhodes, wearing battle armor, slowly walked out!]
Chapter 312: The Mandarin's Threat
"Mandarin? Who is this guy? Uh... honey, I might have to go back for a while!"
Tony frowned and decided to say goodbye to Pepper and immediately go investigate the guy's information.
Steve Rogers narrowed his eyes and stared at the Mandarin in the sky. He has always been intolerant of such terrorists who burn, kill and loot!
"Should we ask Stark? Maybe he knows something!" Sam looked at Steve Rogers.
"Yeah! This guy looks quite arrogant!" Pietro couldn't help but nod. What he and Wanda hated most was war!
Banner, who was still in the villa, smiled at Rhodes and said, "Iron Patriot, what a good name!"
Rhodes scratched his head and said nothing.
At the same time, people all over the world began to investigate this guy Mandarin. It was the same reason, as long as he appeared on the Sky Curtain, there must be something wrong with this guy!
Trevor Slattery looked at himself going up to the Sky Curtain, and felt a little inexplicably frightened, because he also knew that generally those who went up to the Sky Curtain and did bad things would not have a good ending.
[Many news media discussed Ellis's speech.]
[In a restaurant, Tony was watching TV with a frown on his face, while Rhodes was sitting next to him trying to persuade Tony.]
["The focus group feedback was great, ok?"]
[Tony imitated Rhodes' voice in a hoarse voice: "I am Iron Patriot!"]
["War Machine" is too violent, okay? This one feels much better!" Rhodes explained to Tony helplessly.]
["So what's going on? That Mandarin! Seriously, can we talk about this guy?" Tony took off his glasses.]
[Hearing this, Rhodes turned his head subconsciously. At first he wanted to refuse: "This is confidential! Tony!"]
[But he finally said, "Okay! There were nine explosions!"]
["The public only knows about three of them! The key is that no one can find the detonator! There is no trace of the bomb left at the scene!"]
[Hearing this, Tony hoped that Rhodes would let him help him, "You know I can help, just ask!"]
["I have a lot of high-tech stuff, and a Tangler suit, and I also have… I also have a new bomb disposal device! It can control the explosion in the air!"]
[Listening to Tony's words, Rhodes propped his chin with his hand and suddenly said: "How long has it been since you had a good sleep?"]
[Tony immediately brought up Einstein, "Einstein only slept three hours a year, look what he did?"]
[Rhodes shook his head: "People are worried about you, Tony! I am worried about you too!"]
["Are you going to lecture me?" Tony blinked.]
[Hearing this, Rhodes immediately explained to him: "NO! NO! I don't mean to be... nagging!" Rhodes wanted to say dick, but when he saw the little girl beside him, he held it back and changed it to "nagging!"]
[The little girl holds a painting and looks at Tony expectantly, "Can you sign my painting?"]
[Tony took the opportunity to tease Rhodes, "As long as Richard doesn't mind! Do you mind, Dick?"]
[Richard's nickname happens to be Dick, and Tony used it to tease Rhodes, who just swallowed his words.]
[Rhodes obviously understood what Tony said and laughed, "No problem!"]
[At this time, Tony put the painting on the table with a smile on his face and looked at the little girl, "What's your name?"]
["Erin!"]
[Tony nodded and looked at her brother, "By the way, I really like your performance in A Christmas Story!", implying that the little boy is very similar to the protagonist.]
[Rhodes whispered in his ear: "The Pentagon is in a panic! After the New York incident, aliens and so on... they need to show their strength! Stopping the Mandarin is the top priority, but that's not..."]
[Tony took over the conversation, "It's not about superheroes! I understand!"]
["It's not! This is America's business!"]
["I said I understand!"]
[At this moment, Tony looked at himself in the painting carrying a nuclear bomb and wrote his name on it. He trembled unconsciously and even accidentally broke the crayon with his hand.]
[Seeing that he had broken the pen, Tony covered his face and sighed.]
[Rhodes looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay?"]
[Tony covers his face and says, "I broke the crayon!"]
[The little girl next to him also asked: "Are you okay, Mr. Stark?"]
["Relax, Tony!" Rhodes patted his shoulder.]
[But Tony felt his heart rate was disordered. At this time, her little brother suddenly asked, "How did you escape from the wormhole?"]
[This sentence aroused Tony's strong reaction. He walked away from the table and walked outside.]
[Rhodes looked at him in confusion as he staggered out, "Wait a minute, Tony! What did he say? Tony!"]
[On the painting, Tony's first sentence was: Erin! But the next sentence was: Help me! He also scribbled a few paragraphs on the painting.]
[Tony comes outside, "Sorry! I have to check the suit... make sure... Okay!" He squeezes through the crowd and gets inside the suit.]
[As soon as he entered the battle suit, Tony couldn't hold on and knelt on one knee. His unusual behavior attracted the attention of others around him.]
[Tony immediately ordered Jarvis to check himself: "Check the heart! Check that... Is there something wrong with the brain?"]
["No signs of heart or brain abnormalities!"]
[After hearing what Jarvis said, Tony continued to ask, "Okay! So am I poisoned?"]
["My diagnosis is that you just had a severe panic attack!"]
[Tony was stunned when he heard this: "Me?"]
[At this time, Rhodes knocked on the armor outside.]
["Come on! Man! This is not a good look! Open it!"]
[But Tony replied: "Sorry! I have to go!"]
[After saying that, without waiting for Rhodes' reaction, he took off and left the place!]
"What do you mean? That I had a severe panic attack? I have anxiety disorder?" Tony narrowed his eyes as he returned to the villa.
"That painting... is of you carrying that nuclear bomb! That little boy's question... made you recall that bad memory!"
Rhodes looked at the graffiti by Tony thoughtfully.
Tony supported his forehead with both hands and wondered what he had been through to have such a big reaction when he saw a painting or heard a question!
"Compared to this matter, perhaps it is more important to find this Mandarin first?" Suddenly a voice sounded, and several people turned their heads to look. It turned out that Steve Rogers and the others had arrived!
Chapter 313: The Rise of AIM
"Why are you here?" Tony seemed a little surprised. He could understand why Steve came. After all, although they were on opposite sides in the Sky Screen, Tony also had some discussions with Steve in order to avoid such a thing from happening.
But Wanda, Pietro and others were following behind him.
He knows, although Wanda and Pietro have forgiven Tony, they still dislike him occasionally, so Tony doesn't bother himself and the two sides rarely communicate.
Although Tony had always wanted to do something to make up for the harm done to both of them, he was too busy with work to do anything else.
"I mainly want to know who this Mandarin is and where to find him. I thought you might have some channels and information, so I came to you!" Steve Rogers explained lightly.
"Oh! No problem, I was just planning to check his information! And the nine bombing cases!" Tony nodded first.
Then he asked Sam and Scott who were looking around the villa behind Steve: "Would you like something to drink? I have everything here!"
Sam and the others were stunned for a moment before responding, "Yeah!"
[In Stark Corporation, Happy walked around and reminded the employees: "Key card!"]
[When the two ladies who were talking at the front desk saw Happy come in, their faces immediately changed and they dared not say anything anymore, and returned to their work positions.]
[Happy saw that many employees still didn't wear their door cards, and couldn't help complaining: "Put on your door cards, guys, I've put up a notice in the bathroom, come on!"]
[The scene changes, and he walks beside Pepper, "Tony put them all in the basement and put party hats on them. We should make use of this asset!"]
[Pepper smiled, "Aha! So you're suggesting that I replace all the doormen with robots?" She signed and complained about Happy's fantasy.]
[Happy expressed his thoughts: "What I mean is that our biggest weakness is the human part of human resources. We should eliminate this part as soon as possible!"]
[After hearing what Happy said, Pepper couldn't help but raise her voice a little: "What?! Are you serious about what you just said?"]
[She felt that she had to correct Happy's wrong idea, "Happy! Okay! I'm happy for you to be the security director! Okay? No one can be more qualified than you!"]
["Thank you! I appreciate it!"]
["However! Since you took office... our employee complaint rate has increased threefold!"]
[Happy hasn't reacted yet: "You don't have to thank me!" He thought Pepper was praising him.]
[Pepper said helplessly: "I'm not praising you!"]
[But Happy obviously didn't think so: "Isn't this a compliment? This deserves praise! Obviously someone has ulterior motives!"]
["I…" Pepper was about to say something when she was interrupted by another employee.]
["Ms. Potts, your appointment at four o'clock is here!"]
[Pepper nodded, "Thank you!"]
[Happy blinked and asked, "Have you checked this person with me?"]
[Hearing this, Pepper also turned to look at him: "Happy, let's talk about this later! I have to deal with this troublesome matter now!"]
[Happy follows Pepper and opens the door for her: "What do you mean?"]
["I worked with him before, and he always wanted to ask me out, so it was a little awkward!" Pepper explained.]
[Hearing this, Happy muttered to himself: "That's not good!"]
[When they turned around, they found someone waiting for her inside the office.]
[Pepper!" It turned out to be Killian. He was now dressed in a suit and looked like a completely different person from the one in 1999.]
["Killian?" Pepper was a little surprised. This was different from the Killian she remembered.]
["You look good! Really good!" Killian held a book in his hand and placed it on the table.]
["Oh my god! You look... great too! I can't... what have you been doing in the past few years?" Pepper was a little hesitant, unable to describe Killian's current changes.]
[Killian spread his hands, "No big deal! I just had the physical therapist take care of me for five years! And call me Aldrich!"]
[At this time, Happy interrupted: "You should have got the access card, right?"]
[Pepper turned around and comforted him, "Happy, it's okay! We're okay!"]
["Really? Are you sure?"]
["Yes! You can go!"]
[Seeing Pepper say this, Happy glanced at Killian, "Okay! I'm nearby!" and glanced at Killian again before leaving.]
["Nice to meet you, Killian!" Pepper smiled at him politely.]
"Is this that Killian? I really can't tell!" Tony complained about Killian's changes while investigating the Mandarin's information.
"Yeah! Do you want to check this guy too?" Rhodes nodded and suggested.
"Good! Good idea! Let's talk about it later!" Tony and Banner displayed all the information about the Mandarin that Jarvis had searched.
"Look at this guy, he's committing all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting! He deserves to die! He's no worse than those guys in the Ten Rings!"
Tony twisted his neck as he looked at the information he searched out. Like Steve, he was extremely disgusted with these terrorists.
"But there's no useful information here. Should we start from somewhere else, such as those bombings?"
Banner looked at the pictures and videos and shook his head.
"The question is, is there any bombing happening now? Moreover, what is a bomb and what is not a bomb? Huh?" Tony spread his hands to show that he didn't quite understand.
Scott suddenly thought of something and squinted his eyes and said, "Do you remember Maya's potted plant? Didn't it suddenly explode on its own? The power seemed quite strong!"
Just as Scott woke people up from their dreams, Maya also came to the Malibu villa, but she couldn't come in because she was stopped by security personnel.
Since the appearance of the Sky Curtain, Tony's security measures have been upgraded again and again, and a large number of bodyguards have been added to the periphery. Steve Rogers can come in by scanning his face, but it doesn't mean Maya can too.
[Eric Savin sat on the sofa bored, waiting for Killian and Pepper to finish their conversation. He saw a magazine beside him and started flipping through it.]
[Happy stared at him, shouted from a distance and pointed at the access card on his chest to remind him: "Hey! Buddy!"]
[After seeing this, Eric Savin picked up the door card placed beside him and gestured, and smiled at the beautiful woman passing by and said, "Merry Christmas!"]
[Killian sat opposite Pepper, and he began to talk about the purpose of his visit.]
["After years of circumventing the President's ban on unethical biological research! My think tank has finally made a breakthrough!"]
Chapter 314: Killian's Extremis
[Killian placed a small box in front of Pepper, and then put a small device behind his ear.]
["I call this idea the Extremis virus! Let me turn off the lights!"]
[Killian turned off the lights and took out three small balls to show Pepper.]
["Please look at the human brain!"]
[After saying that, he threw the balls onto the table, and they projected a scene.]
[A star-studded image of the universe appeared in the office, and Pepper looked up in wonder.]
[Unexpectedly, Killian waved his hand: "Oh! Wait! Pause! That's an image of the universe. My mistake. Let me fix it!"]
[As he pressed the button on the controller, the image of the universe instantly transformed into the shape of a brain.]
[He glanced at Pepper: "This is the brain! They are surprisingly similar, aren't they?"]
[Pepper looked at the beautiful pattern and said, "It's incredible!"]
["Thank you! That's my brain!" Killian said calmly.]
[Hearing this, Pepper turned her head and looked at him in surprise: "What?"]
[Killian waved his finger and explained to her: "This is the inside of my brain! This is a... live broadcast!"]
[He pointed his finger at the device he had just put behind his ear.]
["Stand up, I'll prove it to you! Come on!"]
[Then he took the initiative to stand on the table, and pulled Pepper up with him, and the two of them stood together in the projection of Killian's brain.]
["Now, pinch my arm!"]
[Seeing Pepper hesitate a little, Killian smiled and said, "I can bear it, pinch it!"]
[Pepper was also amused by his words and gently squeezed his arm. A yellow light flashed synchronously in a certain part of the projected scene.]
["Huh! What is that?" Pepper was startled. She didn't expect this kind of change.]
[Killian explained: "It's the primary somatosensory cortex! The part of the brain that senses pain!"]
[Then he pointed behind Pepper and said, "This is what I want to show you!"]
[He put his hand on Pepper's shoulder and turned her around, then pressed the controller again and reached out to pull the projection.]
["The Extremis virus has developed our biological potential! Now look... here!"]
[As he pulled, an empty slot in the brain appeared before their eyes.]
["This is basically an empty slot, which means our brain is actually our entire DNA! It's destined to be upgraded!"]
[Pepper blinked as she watched this scene. She had never expected that Killian had researched to this extent.]
Tony and the others ignored what Killian said because Maya was standing in front of them explaining the Extremis virus to them in more depth than Killian, and also told them about the side effects.
They were checking the Mandarin's message, but Tony got the notification and went out to bring in Maya.
After listening to Maya's general narration, Tony frowned.
"You mean, Extremis can overheat people? And turn them into human bombs?"
Maya nodded: "Yeah! That's it! I suspect Killian is working with the Mandarin!"
Steve Rogers said calmly, "Why are you telling us these things?"
"Because he's become a little crazy! You know? Ever since he appeared on the screen, he has given me a different feeling than before! Although he is no longer the same as before!"
Maya didn't know what Killian was thinking, but she knew it was probably not a good thing. She was well aware that Killian was conducting human experiments using the Extremis virus.
So she came to tell Tony about this before Killian took any action, hoping to stop him before Killian did something crazy!
"Okay! Did you all hear that? Is there anything you want to say?" Steve looked around at everyone.
"It sounds like this guy is a crazy and ambitious person!" Scott shrugged.
Wanda also did not hide her disgust: "Why are these damn guys everywhere?"
"We still need some evidence. We can't just rely on Miss Hansen's one-sided statement!" Banner shook his head slightly and looked at Tony again.
"Tony, can you pull up the heat source sensing records from the last few years? Miss Hansen said it was 3000° high, right?"
He confirmed it with Maya again and Maya nodded.
"Okay! No problem, Jarvis! Bring up the heat source image!" Tony waved his hand, and Jarvis immediately connected to the satellite to map all the heat sources.
Immediately, a map of high heat sources across the United States appeared in front of everyone.
Maya spotted a location: "Look! There!"
Everyone immediately turned their attention to where she pointed.
The place Maya pointed to was clearly displayed: Rose Hill, Tennessee! 3000°!
"So this was the first human experiment to fail in the outside world and explode? Um...it was even on the local news, and the dead man was Chad Davis!"
After hearing what Maya said, Tony immediately retrieved the relevant information and showed the details to everyone.
[Happy was sitting outside staring at Eric Savin. Suddenly, the tablet in front of him started to ring. He raised it and said: "Hello?"]
[When the video connected, Tony saw Happy's forehead. He couldn't help but complain, "Is that the security guard's forehead?"]
["What?" Happy was stunned for a moment and then looked at the tablet seriously.]
["Listen, I'm busy! What do you want? I'm working! Something's going on!"]
[Tony walks in his villa and lowers the Mark 42 from the roof to the basement: "What's going on? Are you harassing the interns?"]
["Let me tell you one thing. When I told everyone that I was Iron Man's bodyguard, you know how they reacted? They laughed at me mercilessly!"]
["I could only leave with the last bit of dignity! Now I have a real job, taking care of Pepper!" Happy explained what happened before.]
[Tony asked curiously: "What happened? Tell me!"]
[Happy hesitated: "Do you really want to listen?"]
["Yeah!" Tony's tone was very sure.]
["Okay! She's meeting a scientist! Rich and handsome! I didn't recognize him at first. You know I'm good at identifying people!"]
[Happy talks about what Pepper is doing and even brags about himself.]
[Tony puts his phone on the table and agrees: "Oh! Yeah! You are the best!"]
["Yeah! Then I looked up his information! I recognized him, Aldrich Killian! We've actually met him before!"]
["In 1999, where was it? That scientific conference!" Happy remembered Killian, but couldn't remember the exact location of the conference.]
[Tony thought for a moment: "Yeah... in Switzerland!"]
[Happy nodded repeatedly: "Right, that's right! Right there!"]
Chapter 315: Pepper's Rejection
["Killian, NO! I don't remember that guy!" Tony frowned and picked up the cup.]
["Of course you don't remember! He's not a blonde with big boobs! It was fine at first, they were just talking about business! But now it's a little weird! He's showing her his big brain!"]
[After hearing what Happy said, Tony was a little confused: "His what?"]
[Seeing Tony didn't understand, Happy explained again: "Enlarged brain! She enjoys it too! Let me show you!"]
[Happy raised the tablet and pointed it at Killian and Pepper.]
["Wait a minute! Did you see that?"]
[Tony glanced and complained: "What did you see? Did you see me peeping? Turn the screen over so I can see!"]
[Happy obviously doesn't understand how to flip over, "I'm not a scientific genius like you! Trust me, come over here!"]
[Tony repeated: "Turn the screen over so I can see what they're doing!"]
[Happy also yelled in a low voice with a bit of frustration: "I can't, I can't flip the screen! Don't talk to me like that again! You are not my boss! I don't work for you!"]
["I don't trust this guy! He brought a sneaky guy with him!"]
[Tony took out Killian's message on his phone, glanced at it and comforted Happy, saying, "Relax!"]
["Really?" Happy felt that he couldn't relax!]
["I just asked you to guard the perimeter! Let him go out for a drink or something?"]
[Seeing that Tony didn't take this matter seriously, Happy warned him seriously.]
["You know what? You really should pay close attention to the development of this situation!"]
["This woman is the most wonderful thing in your life! And what about you? You don't know how to cherish her!"]
[Happy watched Killian walk down the table holding Pepper's hand and felt worried for Tony.]
["Giant brain?" Tony asked again.]
[Happy nodded and looked at Eric Savin.]
["Yeah! A giant brain! And a sneaky guy! I'm going to follow him! Check his license plate. If he tries to force me, then so be it!"]
[Tony doesn't really care about what Happy said: "I'm going to miss you, Happy!"]
[Happy complained about Tony and said, "Yeah! I miss you too, but I miss the way you were before."]
["Now that you're hanging out with your superhero friends, I don't know what's wrong with you! The world is getting weirder and weirder!"]
[Tony, holding a bottle of wine, didn't want to listen to Happy anymore, so he interrupted him and said, "Sorry, I have to hang up on you! Do you have a stun gun?"]
[Happy was stunned for a moment, "Why?"]
[He found a random excuse to send Happy away: "It seems that there is a girl in the HR department trying to steal printer ink. You should go over and teach her a lesson!"]
"Happy! Hahaha! I didn't expect you didn't know how to flip the screen? Look, like this!" Pepper was amused by Happy and then demonstrated it to Happy.
"Okay!" Happy nodded to show that he had learned it, but unfortunately it was too late and he had embarrassed himself to the whole world.
The topic of Happy not being able to flip the screen instantly became a hot topic, along with the skills demonstrated by Killian.
In fact, as early as when Maya first showed Tony the information about the Extremis virus, it had already attracted the attention of countless people.
On Tony's side, after locking onto Chad Davis in Tennessee, he began to look up information about this person. He also found some places that had been attacked by the Mandarin.
Although Maya knew that Killian must have some plan, Tony and the others couldn't completely trust her for the time being, and she didn't have any good ideas. Besides, she didn't know where Killian's secret base was hidden, so Tony and the others had to find it themselves.
Steve Rogers contacted Nick Fury and told him to find someone to bring his equipment to Tony, and told him what Maya said.
Because everyone just came to see if Tony had any information, they were all in casual clothes and did not carry any equipment.
Nick Fury agreed immediately. He was also investigating the matter of the Mandarin and Killian. After receiving the news from Steve Rogers, he immediately arranged for Sharon Carter to bring Steve Rogers and Sam's equipment over.
Sam's equipment was provided to him by Nick Fury, and it was the same set he was equipped with during the civil war in Skyrim.
It is worth mentioning that regarding Scott's Ant-Man suit, Nick Fury has contacted Dr. Pym on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hank Pym said he would consider it, and he would test Scott before making a decision.
Although his daughter Hope strongly opposed letting a man who would become a wanted criminal in the future wear the Ant-Man suit, Pym had made up his mind and Hope was powerless to refute it.
[In the office, Killian turned off the projection and patiently said to Pepper: "Imagine if you could hack into the 'hard drive' of any organism and reorganize its DNA!"]
[Pepper certainly knew what this meant: "That's amazing!"]
[But then she mentioned another use for the research: "Unfortunately, it sounds like it could be weaponized, too!"]
["Like transforming soldiers! Private armies! Tony…"]
[Hearing Pepper talking about Tony, Killian interrupted: "Tony! Tony!"]
["13 years ago, I invited Tony to join AIM! He refused!" Killian acted calmly when talking about what happened back then.]
[He praised Pepper: "But now I find that there is another genius in power! She doesn't have to report to Tony! And she is not so conceited!"]
[Pepper crosses her legs and looks at him, "My answer is NO! Aldrich! Although I really want to help you!"]
[Pepper has always been very clear about this kind of thing, and she was not affected by Killian's sweet talk at all.]
[The scene changes, Killian walks out of Stark Tower with Pepper's greeting, he turns around and looks at Pepper.]
["Well, I'm a little disappointed! But as my father once said, 'Through the fog of failure, you can see the glory of victory!'"]
[Pepper tilted her head and smiled: "Very profound! But I don't know what it means!"]
[Killian also laughed at himself: "I don't understand either, my dad is just a fool!"]
[His words made Pepper laugh.]
["We will definitely meet again, Pepper!" Then he kissed her gently on the cheek.]
[Pepper was a little overwhelmed by Killian's sudden action and stood there watching Killian get into the car.]
[She came back to her senses when she saw Happy coming over: "Happy..."]
[Happy pointed at the car and asked, "The car is ready, are you ready to go?"]
