Boom—
The pitch-black night sky was momentarily illuminated, then quickly returned to darkness...
“Phew, sorry, looks like I’m the one who won in the end.”
Tony Stark let out a long breath, then raised his hand to glance at the time on his watch, and then turned to the surrounding fire lizard warriors with a look of triumph, saying without fear:
“I’m sure you heard it before, your boss said that as long as I can defeat him before the public execution is over, he will let the President go… Alright, now you can do as he said.”
Although this battle resulted in the loss of a [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] worth at least 500 million US dollars, Tony Stark did not feel distressed.
Because no matter how much money he spent, it could not compare with the long-term benefits that could be brought by successfully rescuing the President!
As a successful top businessman, Tony Stark knew better than anyone the potential value of this.
And right now, the only thing that worried him was whether these fire lizard warriors would keep their promise and let him and the President leave.
Considering that the [Mark 43 Beast Hunter Armor] was destroyed, and that Firebolt was captured alive, Tony Stark could only silently pray in his heart that everyone in front of him would keep their word…
However, the surrounding fire lizard warriors all stood still with indifference, neither choosing to attack him nor intending to let them go.
At this moment, Eric Savin, holding Firebolt, walked to the bridge frame, chewing gum, and looked at Tony Stark’s back with a smile that was not a smile, and said:
“Boss, stop playing, the execution time is almost here!!”
“Boss? Is he calling me… Wait a minute, could it be that Killian… isn’t dead?!”
Tony Stark was shocked when he heard this, and turned around in disbelief. He saw Aldrich Killian’s figure had already appeared behind him at some point.
Completely different from his previous glamorous image, the explosion just now had obviously caused huge trauma to Aldrich Killian’s body.
His upper body, exposed to the outside, was covered with shocking and hideous wounds and cracks. If these injuries were on other ordinary people, they would probably have died on the spot.
However, even if the [Extremis Virus] had powerful self-healing abilities, it was unable to completely heal these injuries on Aldrich Killian’s body in the first place.
After all, all the [Mark series armors] after [Mark 6 New Energy Armor], use the third-generation "new element" energy arc reactor, which, from a certain point of view, actually originates from the energy overflowing from the [Space Stone].
It was also for this reason that Loki, holding the [Mind Scepter] in the [Battle of New York], failed to transform Tony Stark through the power of the [Mind Stone].
From this, it can be seen how terrible the power of the explosion just now was!
However, Aldrich Killian, who was eager for "revenge", obviously did not care about the injuries on his body. Anyway, as long as he did not die, he would eventually heal slowly.
So he raised his hand and grabbed Tony Stark’s neck, and lifted him into the air, and then said with a grin:
“Look, you finally have the guts to come out of that tortoise shell, but it’s a pity that the person who won this duel in the end… is me!!”
After saying that, he directly threw Tony Stark, like a dead dog, in front of Eric Savin, and ordered:
“Tie him up with that [Avengers] member, and then broadcast their execution live with the President later.”
So a few minutes later, two more figures appeared in the live broadcast…
Tony Stark and Firebolt, who had exhausted his energy, were hung on either side of President Matthew Ellis.
The three of them looked back and forth like brothers in distress, the scene looked both funny and ridiculous!
But the only person who couldn’t laugh was probably President Matthew Ellis.
He originally thought he was saved this time.
Who knew that two more “cellmates” had arrived?
[.] is really full of trash!
Since the battle scenes between the two of them and Aldrich Killian’s group had not been captured by the camera, the melon-eating masses in front of the TV did not know what had just happened.
Now that they saw Tony Stark and Firebolt also being hung up, everyone was first stunned, and then fell into endless panic.
Because if even [Iron Man] and the members of the [Avengers] can’t save the President from the group of KB terrorists from the [Ten Rings Gang], then who else can do it?
…………
……
At the same time.
On the [Sky Carrier] which was sailing back at full speed.
Nick Fury’s face darkened when he saw Tony Stark and Firebolt being captured. He slammed his fist heavily on the table and couldn’t help but curse:
“Motherfucker, are they two trash? And isn’t Firebolt’s superpower controlling flames? Why was he caught by that group of fire-breathing KB terrorists… The [Avengers’] face is almost lost by them two!!”
Shifting the blame when encountering problems has almost become his routine operation.
“Fury, they are probably caught in the enemy’s trap.”
Captain America thought for a while and said, “The most urgent task is to locate their location as soon as possible through signals, and then notify the military to send support…”
“Captain, I’m afraid it’s too late.” Black Widow looked at the time and interrupted with a sad expression.
Everyone fell into silence when they heard this.
“No, we can’t just give up on Jonathan like this, there must be a way, right.”
After seeing the frightened expression on her younger brother Jonathan’s face on the screen, Susan Stone said to Nick Fury with a slightly trembling voice, “Director, please think of a way quickly?”
But who knew that Nick Fury roared at her with a ferocious expression: “If there was a way, do you think I would watch the President and the two of them being publicly executed? This is simply slapping me and [.] in the face!”
“But…”
Susan Stone’s eyes turned red, but she also knew that what the other party said was the truth.
But for the sake of her brother, she was unwilling to give up, even if there was only one in ten thousand chance, she was willing to try.
So she looked at the other members of the [Avengers] for help, hoping to get some help from them.
However, everyone turned their heads away, and no one dared to look her in the eye.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to help her, but they can’t do anything about this matter.
Leaving aside the few members who newly joined the [Avengers].
If there was really a way, just the veteran members such as Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Bruce Banner would definitely not watch Tony Stark die there.
“Fury, maybe that man has a way to save Tony and them, as long as he is willing to open a portal…”
Captain America mustered his courage and looked at Nick Fury opposite him, while Maria Hill and Black Widow on the side cast worried glances at him.
Because the man he was talking about was obviously Karl!
It’s just that Karl’s name has always been regarded as a taboo by everyone within [.], and no one dares to mention it in front of Nick Fury.
“Captain, what do you mean?!”
As expected, Captain America’s words were rudely interrupted by Nick Fury, who was instantly broken, and he hysterically questioned:
“Are you trying to get me to ask for help from the culprit who directly led to the decline of [.]?!”
“I know there is a deep grudge between you…”
Captain America stood up and argued without flinching, “But the situation is critical right now, we can’t just watch Tony and the President being executed, right?”
“Do you think I want this?”
Nick Fury saw that the other party dared to openly contradict him, the commander, and his pupils suddenly shrank, shouting:
“But the question is, how can you be sure that there is no secret manipulation by that guy behind this matter?”
The latest novel is first published in !
“Ah this…” Before Captain America could open his mouth to argue, he heard Nick Fury continue to shout:
“If you think this is just my bad speculation, then how do you explain the fact that [Daily Bugle] made relevant warnings in advance before Dr. Curt Connors, who transformed into a lizard man, released the ‘Lizard Virus’?!”
“…” Captain America’s strong body trembled violently when he heard this.
Although he is an old antique, he has also had some understanding of the rising [Daily Bugle] when collecting information during this period.
There is no way, [Daily Bugle]'s revelations have been accurate and advanced recently!
In most cases, it is even more well-informed than [.].
So much so that now many [.] agents will secretly log in to the official website of [Daily Bugle] to search for relevant information before investigating clues, behind Nick Fury’s back…
If it can be dismissed as a “knowledgeable person” revealing the news once or twice, then when this model becomes the norm, it is obviously a bit unusual!
Unless someone among the staff of [Daily Bugle] has the superpower to predict future events.
Otherwise, the greatest possibility is that [Daily Bugle] has more or less participated in these major events…
Or rather, the man hidden behind [Daily Bugle]—Karl Mara participated in it!!
It’s just that, because [.] has never been able to investigate any useful clues, it has never been able to confirm this point.
But now that Nick Fury said this in person, even Captain America couldn’t refute it.
For a time, the [Bridge Ship] fell silent again.
Susan Stone sat slumped in her chair with a desperate look on her face, staring at the big screen, tears streaming down her face.
Others were also feeling uncomfortable. On the one hand, they were unable to rescue their former close comrades and could only watch the other party being burned alive in a few minutes.
On the other hand, they were upset by Nick Fury’s words just now.
Because probably besides Nick Fury, who was full of resentment, no one else was willing to be an enemy of Karl Mara!
After all, the power of that man and the [Subspace Group] is obvious to all.
To say nothing else, just one [Symbiote · King Kong], probably no one else besides [Thor] Thor can confront him head-on.
That’s right, even [Hulk] Hulk can’t!
Because since the last time he was almost roasted by Godzilla’s [Atomic Breath], Hulk has developed an almost instinctive resistance to huge Titan monsters.
It can also be called [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder], abbreviated as [PTSD]!
So much so that even if Bruce Banner is greatly stimulated, Hulk is unwilling to appear and fight those “big monsters”.
This is also the fundamental reason why [.] did not send Hulk to fight when Kaiju appeared in [Manila] last time until the end.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge Tony and Jonathan in the future…”
Nick Fury was very satisfied with the reaction shown by everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he exploded on the spot now, he would not be willing to ask Karl for help.
This is his bottom line and persistence!
But just as he wanted to say something to shift the contradiction, so that everyone would attribute the death of Tony Stark and Firebolt in a few minutes to Karl, he heard his deputy Maria Hill suddenly point to the big screen and exclaim:
“Sir, look quickly, the President seems to have been rescued…”
“What?!”
Nick Fury suddenly looked up at the big screen, only to see that President Matthew Ellis, who was originally hung between Tony Stark and Firebolt, was floating strangely, and then flying towards somewhere outside the camera.
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a？？？
WTF？？？
…………
……
A few minutes ago.
On the pier where the abandoned oil tanker was located.
With the opening of a portal, 5 figures stepped out of it, it was actually the “President’s Special Rescue Team” led by Frank.
The other four members were [Wolverine] Logan, [Little Wolf Girl] x-23, Pietro, who claimed to be [Quicksilver], and [Polaris] Lorna Dane.
“Wow, Sister Lorna, that beautiful big sister just now is actually a magician? She just casually drew in the air with her hand, and she really conjured up a portal!”
Little Wolf Girl clenched her small fists and said excitedly.
Since coming to [Sokovia] and settling down with Logan and Professor X, and successfully getting rid of the pursuit, Little Wolf Girl quickly opened her heart, restored the liveliness and cheerfulness that children of her age should have, and experienced many new things that she had never been exposed to before with Lorna Dane.
Logan and Professor X felt very relieved about this, and were extremely grateful to Karl for being willing to take them in and provide them with a [home] that could shelter them from the wind and rain!
