Chapter 38 The Aftermath of the Expo
Chapter 38 The Aftermath of the Expo
After some adjustments and reconstruction, the Stark Expo continued.
Given the incident a few days ago, security measures have been raised to a whole new level.
Security personnel, police officers, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents can be seen everywhere.
Last time Hammer's main act was interrupted, and this time he has no show.
"Let me out! You bastards! Stark Industries will destroy the world!"
Yes, as you can see, our great industrialist and entrepreneur, Mr. Hammer.
Right now, he's in a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison trying to clear his name.
Agents found a series of pieces of evidence at his company and residence.
This evidence points to crimes such as manufacturing illegal weapons and helping prisoners escape.
However, Mr. Hammer still maintains that the Stark family is the world's largest criminal organization.
Of course, what he thinks is irrelevant.
"Just to be on the safe side, let's have some singing and dancing to liven things up."
This is what Lars Stark instructed Qin Wuying.
Therefore, apart from some regular technology and equipment booths, there were no other arrangements on the main stage.
The atmosphere at night was relaxed and pleasant.
Qin Wuying was still wearing a casual suit, but it was much more expensive than before.
He moved between different areas, always on guard against enemies who might be lurking in the shadows.
"If only peace could always be like this."
"You're not serious, are you?"
Rod appeared out of nowhere and made this remark.
This immediately alerted Qin Wuying.
In a world where even a casual remark can be considered a jinx—
"Waaaaah, help!"
Suddenly, shouts came from not far away, and the crowd became agitated.
This is exactly the same situation as a few days ago.
"Just what I feared has come to pass. You go and evacuate and protect the crowd, don't come with me."
Qin Wuying stopped Rhodes, who was preparing to "combine his armor," from following him.
It's better to face the challenge alone.
Judging from the last situation, Rhodes' presence would only hold him back.
It would be better to let him do some more practical work.
In just a few seconds, Qin Wuying teleported to the scene.
Many tourists were trapped by the magic circle beneath their feet and unable to escape.
Surprisingly, there were even children as young as seven or eight among them.
"What kind of skill is it to bully kids? All of you, get out here!"
Qin Wuying immediately deactivated the magic array, allowing everyone to escape, while simultaneously calling out to the enemy.
One of the problems he couldn't figure out last time has resurfaced.
Why did Casillas want to disrupt the Stark Expo? What is the connection between this and magic?
Several dark mages, dressed in black robes, jumped out from various places.
However, their target was not Qin Wuying, who was already in a fighting stance.
All the dark mages simultaneously cast spells, imprisoning the panicked tourists while attacking the lighting at the scene.
Although Qin Wuying immediately began to kill indiscriminately—
But a few minutes later, the scene was still a mess.
"Die! Die! Die!"
After realizing that the dark mage couldn't be killed in one strike, Qin Wuying landed several more blows.
Then he looked up and saw a little boy not far ahead, who seemed to have gotten separated from his parents.
Unfortunately, there was a dark mage in front of the boy.
The dark mage had already gathered a magic orb in his hand, and in an instant, he launched it.
The little boy didn't flinch, but instead imitated Iron Man by extending his right hand.
"Oh no! I have to go and block him!"
But the next second—
A yellow and black figure descended from the sky and stood beside the boy.
"Iron Man...? No, that's not right..."
Unlike Tony Stark, this suit of armor features the same color scheme as Bumblebee from Transformers.
"Bumblebee" instantly unleashed a powerful laser from its palm, piercing straight through the dark mage's chest.
The two suits of armor weren't even finished, and now a third one has appeared.
Qin Wuying looked at Rhodes on the other side.
Although Qin Wuying couldn't see Rhodes' expression through the armor, he was certain that Rhodes was also dumbfounded.
"You've done a good job, child. Now go on, leave this to us."
The user of the yellow and black armor patted the little boy's head and signaled to the security personnel to take the child away.
Qin Wuying felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why she heard it often.
Do you know him?
Instantly teleporting to Rhodes' side, Qin Wuying nudged him with his elbow.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it."
"Sigh, you're really useless."
Patting Rhodes on the shoulder, Qin Wuying flew to the mysterious man's side again.
"Hello. Please state your identity."
The saying goes, "Courtesy before force," meaning you should always ask questions and go through the proper procedures first.
However, the mysterious man ignored him completely and continued fighting the dark mage.
Qin Wuying observed from the side for a few minutes.
Whether in terms of speed, power, or defensive attributes—
This guy is a whole level above the original Iron Man.
Is he really a genius?
But in the field of manufacturing cores and armor, is there anyone more professional than Tony Stark?
If not, then what's with the Bumblebee armor in front of us?
"Get out of the way, or I'll bomb you too."
While he was still in a daze, Qin Wuying realized that he was standing between the mysterious man and a dark mage.
They launched their attacks almost simultaneously.
A laser beam came from the left, and a magical attack came from the right.
"Kamui!"
Qin Wuying's body instantly became ethereal, rendering him unselectable.
The two attacks passed through each other without having any effect on him.
Next, the dark mage should be hit by a laser, leaving a hole in his chest just like his companion's.
"Whoosh—!"
The dark mage was suddenly caught off guard and killed by a specially made bullet from behind.
Why are people still stealing kills?
Qin Wuying looked closely and realized it was Iron Man, Tony Stark!
"No matter who you are, you're a fake."
Tony's tone sounded somewhat angry, clearly indicating that he was not happy about the technology leak.
First there was Ivan Vanko, and now this mysterious man.
It seems like any villain could come along and possess Tony Stark's skills.
This makes him not unique at all.
Tony Stark hates nothing more than being unoriginal;
Iron Man hates nothing more than not being unique.
As Iron Man, he must be the most unique being in the world.
He has to be the center of attention, a star that everyone is watching.
"That's right, I'm the imposter."
The other party didn't try to hide it at all and readily admitted it!
This kind of social interaction is truly honest.
"It's just that I'm stronger than you, and that's always been the case."
What does "always" mean?
Upon hearing the mysterious man's words, Tony couldn't help but frown.
After carefully recalling my student days, I realized that no one could compare to me.
"Still standing there in a daze! Let me shatter your arrogance!"
Suddenly, the boot thrusters of the mysterious man activated, propelling him toward Iron Man at an extremely high speed.
