"Do you know Ethan is dead?"
After Luo Xing walked in, Tony took off his mask, stared at him, and spoke.
"Really? Who do you think should be blamed?"
Luo Xing chuckled softly and sat down on the sofa next to him.
"You could have saved him..."
"You could have prevented those weapons from being sold, and none of this would have happened."
Luo Xing interrupted Tony directly.
"How do you view life... is it really that understated?"
Tony was taken aback by Luo Xing's words, then sighed.
"Yes, just like how you so casually took my parents' lives."
Wanda stepped forward and answered on Luo Xing's behalf.
"You are... the two children Luo mentioned."
"I'm sorry, this was indeed my mistake."
“I promise this will never happen again, otherwise…” Tony was momentarily flustered as he faced Wanda and the Pietro siblings.
"Otherwise what?" Skye, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly asked.
"Otherwise, I'll only sleep with one woman from now on, and I'll never look at another woman again."
Tony glanced at Pepper, who was slowly walking up behind Luo Xing and the others, and spoke.
"Oh, that's quite a poisonous oath for a womanizer like you."
Skye chuckled and tossed the phone over. "Take a look. Your company's transaction records from one minute ago."
"Pepper, can you pick up my phone?"
Tony looked at the phone on the ground and realized he couldn't squat down, so he could only awkwardly ask Pepper for help.
"What are those things on you? Are they your friends, or...?"
Pepper picked up the phone, handed it to Tony, and whispered in his ear...
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Tearing Apart the Iron Man Suit
Tony was like a salmon pinned to a chopping board, struggling desperately but to no avail.
"Sorry, sir, the analysis failed. There is no information on this energy in the database."
"Oh, shit!"
Tony cursed under his breath, then took a deep breath. "Girl, you'd better do it now."
Let me go, let's have a fair fight, or I'll have to use my weapon.
As soon as he finished speaking, small missile launchers sprang out from the shoulders of the Iron Man suit and aimed at Wang...

Let me go, let's have a fair fight, or I'll have to use my weapon.
As soon as he finished speaking, small missile launchers sprang out from the shoulders of the Iron Man suit and aimed at Wanda.
"Come on! Kill me, just like you killed my parents!!!"
The crimson energy in Wanda's eyes grew increasingly violent, and under the control of her hands, chaotic magic force forcefully pried the missiles that had sprung from the Iron Man suit's shoulders off.
The missile was controlled and transferred into the air, where Wanda used her magic to crush it into powder, without even making a sound of explosion.
"Child, I really don't want to kill anyone..."
Tony was having a bit of a headache inside the armor.
The angrier Wanda became, the more he blamed himself.
As Luo Xing said, Wanda and Pietro were just two of the thousands of children who lost their families.
The only difference is that the brother and sister met Luo Xing, which gave them the ability to come here and vent their emotions.
"Click! Sir, unknown energy is stripping away the armor; armor damage is 3%."
Jarvis's warning snapped Tony out of his daze. Now was not the time for self-pity. If he didn't come up with a solution quickly, he might really get crushed like a cherry tomato.
Bang! Bang!! "Damn it, I still can't move!"
Tony fired two palm-shots at the ground, but was still firmly imprisoned in the air by chaos magic.
"Jarvis, activate the fire extinguishers in the villa!"
Sizzle—A large amount of water suddenly sprayed from the laboratory ceiling, instantly soaking Wanda who was standing in it.
In that moment of distraction, Tony finally broke free from Wanda's magical shackles.
"While anger and focused will can amplify your power, they also make you more dangerous."
Luo Xing unpacked a package from a nearby cabinet, took out a brand-new towel, and stepped forward to wipe the water droplets from Wanda's head. "Imagine if the person giving the order wasn't Stark, and instead of water, it was the firepower of a spaceship."
"I see."
Upon hearing Luo Xing's words, the deep red light in Wanda's pupils gradually faded.
Meanwhile, Skye also successfully breached the villa's fire protection system and shut down the sprinkler systems in the rooms.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, the information you provided has given me a new idea. Please rest here for a while."
Tony hovered above the distant sea, using his suit to broadcast his voice into the room's speakers.
"Jarvis, activate the infrasonic anesthesia, just the lowest setting is fine, about 5 seconds."
“Yes, sir, but one of the intruders is an ordinary adult, so the paralysis device might not be effective against him…”
"Then immediately."
Open!
A whoosh—instantly, infrasound waves, inaudible to humans, echoed in the room where Luo Xing and the others were.
This was Stark's invention, but it was banned from production for some reason, though one or two prototypes were still kept.
Under the interference of infrasound, Skye
Chapter Sixty-Eight: I'm Allergic to Bald Heads
What's wrong with you?
Ten minutes later, Pepper, drawn upstairs by the noise, saw Tony lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, gasped in surprise, and rushed upstairs.
"I'm fine, just some minor cuts and bruises. Could you go next door and get me some medicine, and while you're at it, bring that... little box that's glowing blue too?"
Tony, with Pepper's help, sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Okay, don't move."
Pepper glanced at the room with a large hole blasted through it, wondering what had just happened here...

"Okay, don't move."
Pepper glanced at the room with a large hole blasted in it, wondering what had just happened.
"You guys really went too far; my handsome face is now disfigured."
Tony touched the wound on his face and gasped.
"Sir, they didn't hit too hard."
"Given the boy's speed, and disregarding his own physical limitations, his punch would be ten thousand times more powerful than Tyson's."
"Based on the unknown energy released by the girl, it's enough to tear your body apart three million times."
"Furthermore, according to big data statistics, your appearance does not meet the 'handsome' category."
Jarvis's merciless slap in the face echoed in the room.
"Jarvis, have you betrayed us?"
Tony was shocked.
Why is my AI contradicting itself? Can't I just keep pretending to be cool? "Sir, I haven't betrayed you. It's just that... Miss Skye just wrote some new code into me, which is causing me some confusion."
Jarvis's voice became somewhat intermittent.
"Alright, Miss Hacker, stop what you're doing. I know you're amazing."
Tony rubbed his head, looking exasperated, and said, "If you're willing to work for Stark Industries, I can offer you the position of head of security."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Skye glanced at Tony coldly and refused outright.
She hadn't forgotten the feeling of being completely paralyzed by infrasound, as if her blood had stopped flowing.
"Trying to poach people right in front of me? Didn't you get enough of a beating earlier? Are you still itching for a beating?"
Luo Xing clenched his fist and said.
"It's my fault. From now on, I'll cover their living expenses and tuition fees, okay?"
Tony hurriedly apologized. He explained that he owed Pietro and Wanda the beating he received, and if he were to be beaten up by Luo Xing now, aside from the issue of saving face, his body probably wouldn't be able to take it.
