Baghlan Air Force Base, Iraq.
"Hello, General."
Hello, Mr. Stark." The general held Tony's outstretched hand and said," I'm looking forward to your weapon display today.”
"Thank you."
In a deserted explosion site, Tony was wearing a silver-gray slim-fit suit that Mark had custom-made for him. He wore a pair of brown gold-framed sunglasses and was giving a speech before the weapons show.
"Fear or respect, which is better? In my opinion, are both of them too much?
Therefore, I humbly offer the flagship product of the Stark Industries Freedom series, which is a missile system integrated with our patent impact technology.
People often say that the best weapon is a weapon that doesn't need to be used. I respectfully disagree. I prefer weapons that you only need to use once. My father did it, my country did it, and it has been very successful so far.
Find an excuse to fire this thing. I personally guarantee that the bad guy will never want to climb out of the hole again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tony waved his hand to signal the turret to fire the missile.
Whoosh--
As a missile quickly rose into the air and headed towards the target of the shooting range behind Tony, the entire missile suddenly began to disintegrate and split into dozens of smaller missiles.
"For reference only, this is our Jerick missile!”
What appeared together with Tony's pretentious words was the violent aftermath of the devastating blow to the target more than ten kilometers away. The strong airflow even blew off the hats of the soldiers on the scene.
The effect of the demonstration was excellent. It could be said that the purpose of this trip had been successfully achieved. Tony came to a huge metal box and took out a glass and champagne that he had prepared beforehand." For every transaction that exceeds 500 million dollars, I'll give you one of these. To peace.”Tony raised his glass and drank it all.
At this time, Tony, who was in high spirits, did not know that a conspiracy against him had been brewing in secret. After the deal was made, the excited Tony did not board the protective vehicle specially prepared for him. Instead, he boarded an ordinary military vehicle. To him, this was a bit of fun on the boring journey home.
His good friend, Colonel Rhode, did not try to persuade him too much and let Tony's temper run its course. "I'll follow behind to protect you. I'll see you at the base.”
"Alright, see you at the base. Brave soldiers, let's set off for our destination!”
In the car, he felt the roar of the engine of the military vehicle galloping on the sand. The rugged road tested the limits of the tires and shock absorption. Tony felt his blood boil and his passion surge.
"Hey young man, do you have a girlfriend?”Tony suddenly asked a well-dressed soldier beside him.
"Not yet, sir!" The young man was obviously not a wily old fox who had been in the army for many years. When he answered, he straightened his back and his voice was very loud.
"Alright, relax, buddy. I'm just chatting with you, and I'm not your commander. After all, the journey is too long and boring. We have to find some fun for ourselves.”As he spoke, Tony unbuttoned his suit jacket and reached out to take off the tie around his neck." It's really hot in the desert!”
" Then, Mr. Stark…" A soldier mustered his courage and asked,""I heard you slept with the twelve-month cover girl of Maxim last year, is that true?”
This veteran was obviously more experienced than the young man just now. He opened his mouth to talk about a topic that everyone was very interested in.
"This is…"
BOOM！
Before the soldiers could get the answer they were looking forward to, a cannonball landed in the middle of the convoy, interrupting Tony's words.
The car was overturned by the blast. The soldiers in the car were all injured to varying degrees and fainted. Only Tony, who was protected in the middle, was lucky enough to escape.
He struggled to get out of the bed and looked at the scene in front of him. Tony quickly took out his phone to call for help. But before he could get through, a missile landed beside him.
Boom! The explosion struck again, sending Tony flying. With the protection of the graphene protective suit, his torso was not injured by the explosion. However, because he had unbuttoned his shirt in the car, the suit was unable to protect his heart from the impact of the explosion. Tony's chest was still hit by shrapnel, and his life was in danger. Just before he lost consciousness, he saw Stark's logo on the shell of the missile that attacked him.
"..." When Tony woke up again, the environment he was in had changed drastically.
The surrounding environment looked like a dark and dry cave, and he was lying on an iron folding bed. She turned around and saw a strange man who she had never seen before. He was using the weak light to fix his beard.
Feeling the strangeness in his chest, Tony raised his head with difficulty and looked at his chest. Then, he found a strange device. Two wires extended from it and connected to the battery beside the bed. Without any consideration, Tony reached out to dismantle the strange device.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that.”At this moment, the stranger stopped Tony.
"What did you do to me?" After trying hard to calm down, Tony calmly raised his question to the stranger.
"What did I do? I saved your life. I tried my best to remove some shrapnel, but due to the shrapnel being too small and the limitations of the conditions here, there were still some remnants. They could follow the blood flow to your heart at any time.”Seeing the doubt on Tony's face, he picked up a small glass bottle from the table at the side and showed it to Tony." Do you want to see it? I have a souvenir here. Take a look."”
Taking the small bottle, Tony saw the tiny shrapnel in it through the faint light.
The unfamiliar man continued his speech."I've seen a lot of people with this kind of injury in our village. We call them the living dead because the shrapnel will enter their vital organs after a week.”
"What about this? What is this?" Tony put down the bottle filled with shrapnel and knocked on the metal lump on his chest.
"That's an electromagnetic. It's powered by the car's battery. It can prevent shrapnel from entering your heart.”
Now Tony began to regret not buttoning up the damn button on his suit properly.
"Did you see the suit I'm wearing?”
"Here, it's on the table over there, but don't expect to find anything. The fact that it's left here proves that everything on it has been plundered clean.”
"No, the important thing is the suit itself. It's a gift from my son.”Thinking of the sad expressions of Mark and Little Chili Pepper, who were thousands of miles away, after hearing the news of his attack, Tony felt a little guilty. He had never cherished the important people around him.
