Chapter 67 The Birth of Iron Man
Chapter 67 The Birth of Iron Man
An hour later.
Mark's wailing could be heard coming from the room.
"No!!"
"This question is too hard, I can't do it!!"
At the entrance, Happy, who was passing by, shook his head helplessly.
That's how it is with underachievers; even top students can't save them.
"Click~"
At that moment, Mark suddenly opened the door.
He saw the disdain on Happy's face.
Mark was immediately enraged.
"You fatso, which school did you graduate from?"
"State University of New York," Happy said with pride.
mark:"......."
He swallowed the rest of his words.
Behind her, Gwen, holding her laptop, also looked exhausted.
"Mark, your foundation is too weak."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the laboratory.
"Oh no, Tony's in trouble!"
Happy's expression changed, and he rushed to the laboratory.
Mark and Gwen followed closely behind.
However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw what was happening in the laboratory.
"Cough cough~"
Tony, covered in soot, waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him.
"The power output is too high, but I'm fine."
He picked up the arm armor from the ground, his brow furrowed.
He seemed to be pondering something.
Gwen observed the laboratory with a look of curiosity.
She saw the complex calculation formulas on the virtual screen and began to ponder.
So she stepped forward and gestured a few times on the virtual screen.
Upon seeing this, Tony instinctively looked at the screen.
"A smart girl," he said with a smile as he walked toward Gwen.
"Although your algorithm is the latest, Dr. Witte's algorithm from ten years ago is the most suitable for me."
He raised his hand and gestured on the screen to make changes, and Gwen's eyes brightened even more.
"Oh, I see. I think I understand now."
Based on Tony's algorithm, she continued to list different formulas on the screen.
Tony watched this scene with a smile, occasionally reminding Gwen.
Happy, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but smile like an aunt.
"If Tony hadn't broken up with his first love, their daughter would be this age by now."
Mark looked completely bewildered.
"What? Am I an outsider now?"
Happy glanced at Mark sideways. "It's normal that a mediocre student doesn't understand the world of high achievers."
He was about to say something when bad news came through his earpiece.
"Mark, come with me, something's happened."
"Um."
Soon, the two went downstairs.
At the elevator entrance, a group of bodyguards surrounded a well-to-do middle-aged man, who seemed to have ill intentions.
Happy looked at the middle-aged man warily.
"Mr. Mason, what are you doing?"
Mason smiled innocently and said, "I'm here to see Stark."
He's very busy right now.
"I know, but I'm worried about Stark. You know, I'm his partner after all."
As soon as Mason finished speaking, a group of bodyguards swarmed forward.
Happy's expression changed drastically, and he quickly blocked the elevator entrance.
"Mason, do you know what happens when you anger Tony!" he roared.
Mason sneered, "I didn't do anything. They barged in themselves."
The moment the words were spoken, a scream suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"what!"
"Bang!!"
One bodyguard after another was violently thrown out of the elevator. Mark clapped his hands and walked toward Mason, who looked on in astonishment.
"Mason? Never heard of him, probably just a minor character."
Mark continued talking to himself, then grabbed Mason by the collar.
Mason looked terrified. "What are you doing? Don't touch me, or I'll sue you..."
"Shut up!"
Mark knocked the man unconscious with a karate chop, then stared at the group of bodyguards.
"Take your master and get out!"
As he spoke, he picked up the short stick from the ground and easily bent it.
This scene turned the bodyguards pale, and without hesitation, they took Mason away from there.
After doing all this, Mark turned to Happy and said:
"Your security measures are a complete failure; I think you should take a pay cut."
Happy ignored that statement.
He quietly returned to the laboratory.
"Tony, this is the third shareholder who's been clamoring to see you," he said.
Tony said nonchalantly, "They want to force me to give up the reactor's energy technology. They underestimate me."
As he spoke, he looked at Mark, who had just entered.
"As you can see, my troubles go beyond just my personal safety."
"I saw it."
Mark quipped, "First, I was kidnapped, then there was internal strife within the company, and now it's all about family feuds."
"No, what follows is the birth of a superhero!"
Tony pointed at the armor model, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He could already picture himself in his battle armor, appearing at the Stark press conference in a high-octane scene.
-
Tony went to bed early that night.
Mark also saw Gwen off, and alone in his room, he scratched his head, itching with desire.
He longed to enter the game and embark on a demon-hunting journey with Bruce.
But he had already promised Tony that he would stay here for the rest of the week and not go anywhere else.
Games won't work either.
This money is really hard to earn.
Mark collapsed onto the bed, gazing at the night view outside the window, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened by a sudden alarm.
"What happened?"
Mark immediately rushed out of the room and saw Happy leading a group of bodyguards to cover Tony's escape.
Outside the window, streaks of green flames flickered, and the demon mask was faintly visible in the night reflection.
"It's the Green Goblin, and a large number of lizard monsters."
Tony said to Mark, "It's up to you now."
Upon hearing this, Mark frowned.
Green Goblin armor and regeneration potions have become commonplace; unless the mastermind behind them is dealt with, these things will only increase.
Without a second thought, he snapped his fingers, and the Little Devil Suit covered his entire body in flames.
"boom!"
In the blink of an eye, a small demon fireball burst through the French windows and struck a Green Goblin squarely.
"ah!!"
The Green Demon, lurking in the night sky, screamed as it plummeted from the heavens.
This commotion completely ignited the monsters.
"There it is!"
"kill!!!"
"boom......."
In an instant, streaks of green flames shot into the floor, and the walls were violently smashed open by the green demon.
The Green Goblin struck first, and a large number of lizardmen quietly climbed onto the rooftop, completely surrounding the group.
Faced with a large number of monsters, Mark found it difficult to cope.
Just as he was considering how to defend against the Green Goblin, Tony had already called Jarvis.
"Jarvis, activate the electromagnetic field."
"Yes, sir."
"Buzz~"
As the machine was turned on, under the invisible electromagnetic waves, the ferocious Green Goblins who had come to attack instantly fell to the ground from the aircraft.
"As expected, their methods for controlling the Green Goblin armor are far too rudimentary," Tony mocked.
Seeing this, Mark seized the opportunity and leaped towards the group of Green Goblins.
"Sing!!"
The Dragon Slayer Sword unleashed holy light, and with each swift stroke, the low-tier Green Goblin armor proved as fragile as paper, torn apart by the sword's light.
However, the group of lizardmen remained completely still.
This made Tony uneasy.
Finally, as soon as the armor laboratory started to move, everyone rushed towards it.
"Tony, the computer has been stolen." Happy's face was grim.
Tony frowned. "Are they targeting my armor?"
"Jarvis, delete the Warframe data from the computer."
"I'm sorry, sir, the electromagnetic field is on, so I cannot delete the data inside."
Jarvis's words made Tony understand something.
"It's too late." He sighed.
Happy also received the news.
"Tony, the lizardmen have retreated."
"I guessed it."
Tony looked at Mark and said, "It seems they knew I would activate the electromagnetic interference to disrupt the Green Goblin armor."
During this period, Jarvis will also disable some functions to avoid interference from magnetic fields.
They took the opportunity to steal my computer; their target was my armor technology.
"Now that we've shut down the magnetic field, it's too late to delete the data, right?" Mark asked.
Tony nodded. "It's pointless now. Fortunately, Jarvis has a backup, and the data wasn't complete anyway. They also don't have a reactor for power..."
He suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence.
"No, what they want isn't armor technology, it's reactor technology!"
"They think there's reactor technology in the computer, so all those shareholders who wanted reactor technology, the guy who kidnapped me, and the guy who mass-produced monsters are in cahoots!"
Tony pieced together all the clues, and finally a familiar face appeared in his mind.
Could it be him?
