After placing the business card in Yi Shuihan's hand, the woman playfully scratched his palm with her finger, her eyes conveying a meaning that every man would understand.

"Then I'll leave first."

Ol walked with the stride of a model towards the store's exit, while the men inside stared intently at her back, at her rounded buttocks and long legs adorned with stockings.

"Women don't seem to have much effect on him."

Coulson, who had been observing Yi Shuihan's expression from beginning to end, came to this conclusion: he was still judging Yi Shuihan with the mindset of an ordinary person. After all, in the Marvel universe, heroes have enough power, but they don't cultivate their minds and are just ordinary people with power but no substance. Coulson's approach would be useful, but for someone like Yi Shuihan who cultivates both body and mind, those things are just nonsense for fooling children and have no effect whatsoever.

For an ordinary person to try and discern a god's thoughts from facial expressions and muscle movements is pure fantasy, less likely than winning the lottery. Their control is already at its peak; what you see might just be what they deliberately let you see.

"Can you tell me about your background? What is your purpose in coming to the United States?"

"Coulson asked."

"My goal is very simple: to kill a few people, and if possible, to research a few things. So, are you going to help me?"

Coulson's pupils contracted slightly at Yi Shuihan's words. Although Yi Shuihan did not release any killing intent when he spoke, it made him even more chilled. He could tell that Yi Shuihan was most likely telling the truth. The other party's indifference to life reminded him of veterans on the battlefield who no longer regarded life as life.

Danger, extreme danger. We must never be enemies with them. Even if we must become enemies, we must be prepared to make heavy sacrifices.

With a forced smile on his face, Coulson himself was unaware that his body was trembling slightly.

"Who do you want to kill? And what are those things you're referring to?"

“These people are from the same place as me. I came here to hunt them down. I only know one name of them, but I will definitely recognize them as soon as they appear on the road. If you find someone who suddenly appeared in this world like me, that should be the person I want to kill.”

"As for those items, I know that one of them should be in the hands of your S.H.I.E.L.D., namely the Power Stone, also known as the Aether. You should be using it to develop weapons."

Coulson breathed a sigh of relief at what Yi Shuihan had said. He was really afraid that Yi Shuihan was going to kill American political figures or someone like Tony. Since they were in the same place as Yi Shuihan, it wouldn't matter to them even if the other party died.

The Power Stone that followed startled Coulson. He vaguely knew something about it; it was top secret within S.H.I.E.L.D. It was extremely important to them and would never be entrusted to someone of unknown origin.

"We'll keep an eye on the people for you, but I need to go back and ask about the Power Gem."

"kindness."

Nodding, Yi Shuihan didn't say anything more, and the scene immediately became quiet.

Three minutes later, a group of men in military uniforms carrying submachine guns rushed into the store, approached Yi Shuihan, and pointed dozens of guns at him.

"You have attacked important national figures, which constitutes a national security crime. Please come with us."

"and many more."

Coulson stood up, then took an identification card from his pocket and handed it to the leading soldier.

"It's Commander Coulson. What brings you here?"

It was clear that they understood Coulson's identity, and the other party was still very polite. S.H.I.E.L.D. was a more advanced organization than the CIA and NSA, a world-class intelligence organization, and its director could have an equal dialogue with the president of a country.

Although Coulson is not the director, his status as a Level 7 senior agent allows him to speak on equal footing with a general, making him far more powerful than these lowly soldiers.

"Could you let me handle this? I'll talk to your superior."

Coulson smiled and did not show any arrogance towards the soldiers because of his high position.

As he spoke, Coulson kept an eye on Yi Shuihan. Seeing that Yi Shuihan was completely calm in the face of the situation and did not take it to heart at all, Coulson became even more determined not to let Yi Shuihan clash with the military. He knew that although the military seemed to be there to arrest people, in the end, it would be these soldiers with guns who would die.

Ordinary firearms are of little use against special individuals like Yi Shuihan.

"What happened? Why hasn't he been arrested yet?"

A soldier with the rank of colonel walked in, and upon seeing the scene, immediately frowned and said...

Chapter 1155, Iron Man's Revenge

"Colonel Rhodes, it's like this."

The soldier who had previously seen Coulson's identification walked up to Rhodes and began to explain.

A moment later, Rhodes understood the situation, and Coulson walked over with a smile on his face.

"Colonel Rhodes, could you please do me a favor and not make things difficult for him? I'll talk to Tony about it."

Coulson's words clearly indicated that he recognized the person in front of him and guessed why the other party wanted to capture Yi Shuihan.

Rhodes looked at Coulson with considerable apprehension. Even though Coulson seemed harmless, he was still someone from that department, and Rhodes instinctively felt a sense of danger regarding the existence of that department.

"No way, Tony's almost dead from being beaten by him. We have to get revenge. Are you going to protect a foreigner?"

Rhodes rejected Coulson, firmly expressing his stance.

"Could you give me 10 minutes?"

Coulson frowned and finally spoke to Rhodes.

"Ten minutes? That's too long, three minutes at most."

"Three minutes? Sure."

Coulson walked to the side and whispered something. The others were too far away to hear what he was saying, but Yi Shuihan was no ordinary person. He heard the whole conversation between Coulson and his superior. Coulson was contacting Nick Fury, the cold-blooded one-eyed director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

From the very beginning, One-Eyed Dragon had been eavesdropping on Yi Shuihan and Coulson's conversation.

One minute later, Coulson returned. Three minutes later, Rod received a phone call instructing him to leave. Rod argued his case, but ultimately, reluctantly, ordered a retreat.

"It seems that Tony isn't actually that important to the military!"

This scene left Yi Shuihan deep in thought.

"After all that, I still don't know how to address you?"

"Too easy."

"Taiyi? What a strange name."

Yi Shuihan had no intention of continuing the conversation with Coulson. He immediately stood up and walked outside. Coulson reached out as if to stop Yi Shuihan, but in the end, he lowered his hand and left without saying a word.

"Get a room."

Yi Shuihan threw the black card Tony gave him at the front desk, and the receptionist immediately became respectful. Without even asking about Yi Shuihan's background, she directly arranged a presidential suite, saving Yi Shuihan a lot of trouble.

For the next few days, Yi Shuihan stayed in a luxury hotel in New York City, living a life of extravagance. She even invited the office lady who delivered the card to the hotel for a few days of fun. Considering it was the other woman's first time, Yi Shuihan directly gifted her a villa and a luxury car, thus getting a good price.

However, the O1 girl originally came hoping to find a rich husband and had basically no feelings for Yi Shuihan. But after getting to know him, she became completely captivated by his strength. Not only was Yi Shuihan handsome and strong, but he was also incredibly powerful in bed. He was also extravagant and possessed the aura of a powerful figure, which had a fatal attraction for a woman like her. Even now, even if Yi Shuihan lost his black gold card, she would not leave him.

In a dimly lit office, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. sat in his executive chair, opposite Coulson and Black Widow Natasha.

"How about it?"

“Taiyi has been staying in the hotel these past few days and hasn’t done anything strange. He’s just been using the card Tony gave him to spend money.”

"We have found clues about the people who appeared out of nowhere. These are their files. There are seven of them in total. Their origins are unknown. They possess mysterious powers and are very likely from the same place as Taiyi. They have contact with major gangs. They arrived in New York the day before yesterday and are currently at Jinjing."

The one-eyed man flipped through the documents, and for a moment the only sound in the office was the rustling of papers being turned.

After a long silence, the one-eyed man raised his head and said, "Coulson, tell Taiyi their news, then keep an eye on Taiyi and see what he does."

"What if it's too easy for Taiyi to just go and kill someone?"

"As long as he doesn't go too far, just ignore him. Let's take this opportunity to see just how strong he really is."

"Tony's injuries are almost healed. He might go looking for trouble with Taiyi soon. Should we stop him?"

“No need. Let Tony do whatever he wants. We already offended him last time, so it’s good to let him try this time. But if he can’t win, Coulson, you should step in and save him.”

Before Coulson could tell Yi Shuihan about the Blood Kill Squad, Iron Man had already appeared in front of Yi Shuihan.

"You're recovering quite quickly; it seems your injury wasn't too serious last time."

When Tony arrived, Yi Shuihan was lying on the bed enjoying a massage from Mandy, the office lady.

Mandy was initially excited to see Tony, assuming that Tony and Yi Shuihan were friends and that this was just a regular visit. However, the conversation between Yi Shuihan and Tony made her realize that this was not the case.

"I'm here for revenge. If you can beat me, I'll let bygones be bygones. If you can't, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison!"

"Oh? You think you're powerful just because you're wearing a suit of metal? Well, I can still destroy it with a single finger."

Yi Shuihan completely treated Tony's arrival as an entertainment program.

"Don't stop massaging."

Noticing the pressure on his back disappear, Yi Shuihan gave a reminder.

Mandy's expression changed several times, but she eventually followed Yi Shuihan's instructions and started massaging again. However, compared to before, she was clearly distracted this time.

"You're too arrogant. I was just careless last time. Wearing it, I'm invincible. Science is invincible."

Tony's face appeared, with an air of arrogance about him.

"The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology." As a prime example of the latter, Tony Stark relied on his genius brain to climb the technology tree and indeed became extremely powerful. Later, he even created a mechanical army. Although Ultron betrayed him, his contributions cannot be erased.

Thanks to his advanced technology, Tony never fell behind and even became a leader of heroes at one point. He was practically the standard protagonist template, the son of God.

"So, do you dare to give it a try? Come over here and let me poke you."

"Why wouldn't I dare? Come on, I'll be right there."

Chapter 1156, Receiving the News

Tony, dressed in his Iron Man suit, walked to the bedside, and after a few clicks, his face was covered by an iron mask.

"Jarvis, probe his energy response."

"Unable to detect; there is a special energy field on the surface of the other party that interferes with the detection function."

“Calculate the possibility that he could damage the suit with a single, gentle poke.”

"Unable to calculate, insufficient data."

"Can the combat suit protect my life from high-explosive missiles?"

"Sir, the suit will not be damaged unless it is hit by missiles repeatedly."

The conversation between Tony and the artificial intelligence didn't take long, just a few seconds. Mandy, who was outside, was completely unaware of the conversation. Yi Shuihan, however, heard it; the steel frame couldn't block the sound from reaching his ears.

Just like last time, Yi Shuihan extended a little finger and slowly approached the Iron Man suit, leaving Mandy completely bewildered. As for Tony himself, he held his breath, his heart pounding faster.

Once bitten, twice shy. After his serious injury last time, even though he knew the situation was completely different this time, Tony couldn't help but be suspicious.

Little Finger Mandy's gaze fell upon the Iron Man suit, and then, to her astonishment, a small dent appeared in the Iron Man suit, which even a gun couldn't break. Instantly, the dent expanded to the size of a fist, and with a bang, Iron Man was sent flying, crashing through a wall and disappearing from her sight.

Mandy's hand stopped again. Her mind was in turmoil. How so? She was even unsure of who she was. It was as if she were in a dream.

"It was a bit too forceful; we need to move to another room now."

After getting out of bed and casually putting on a set of casual clothes, Yi Shuihan sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Tony's return. Although the force he used just now was much greater than the last time, it caused less damage to Tony. It seemed exaggerated, but in reality, it only made Tony's head spin for a moment.

Tony was faced with a red warning screen, and the alarm was constantly blaring, reminding him how bad the situation was.

"Warning: Suit damage rate 63.79%, power system about to fail, forced shutdown in one minute, 59, 58, 57..."

"Energy unit damaged, abnormal energy consumption in progress..."

"Flight system is about to fail, please prepare for the worst..."

In the chaos, with Jarvis's help, Tony finally landed safely on the ground. Even after he took off his Iron Man suit, he still looked terrified.

"Iron Man, who are you fighting? Have you lost?"

"Mr. Tony, could you please tell us what happened?"

"Crack, click, click!"

A large crowd gathered around. As the head of Stark Industries and also Iron Man, Tony's every move was under scrutiny. What had just happened was clearly big news, making everyone around him very excited.

Tony finally managed to get out of the crowd, and by the time he got back to Yi Shuihan's room, half an hour had passed.

"How did you do that? Is this some kind of mutant ability?"

Tony looked on with curiosity. He wanted to understand the reason behind it so he could modify his precious battle suit and hopefully defeat Yi Shuihan with his fighting spirit next time.

"I'm not a mutant. As for how I did it, the answer is simple: I possess power far exceeding the limits of your suit. Steel may be tough to you, but to me it's no different from clay."

"If they're not mutants, then they became superpowered due to an accident. Is their power the same as strength?"

"Don't look at the world with your narrow-minded perspective. My abilities are the result of my hard work and training, not something I suddenly acquired."

"Mr. Taiyi, if I heard you correctly, you said that your power came from training, which means we can also obtain the same power as you through the same method?"

Coulson walked into the room to Tony and Mandy's astonishment, looking at Yi Shuihan with excitement.

"Coulson, your S.H.I.E.L.D. people arrived really quickly!"

Tony didn't have a very friendly attitude towards Coulson, or rather, he disliked S.H.I.E.L.D. as an organization, and his tone was very aggressive.

Coulson simply smiled at Tony's rudeness, completely unaffected. Compared to Tony, his focus was now entirely on Yi Shuihan, eagerly awaiting her answer.
