You bastard! Who are you? How dare you blow up my house?!" Tony Stark's angry voice echoed in the air. He had just admitted to being Iron Man and was basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd as he turned to leave, feeling incredibly smug, when he suddenly received an alert from J.A.R.V.I.S. saying his house had been blown up.
When Tony Stark left the villa today, he had vaguely made up his mind. He secretly transported the Mark III and the mechanical arm to Stark Industries, thinking that if he eventually admitted everything, he might make a grand entrance in the Mark III, proving his identity as Iron Man and showing off a bit.
If it weren't for that, now that Tony Stark's house was blown up, he wouldn't even have any means of resistance, or even be able to rush back from Stark Industries in time to find the culprit.
"Wait? What is this? Technology I've never seen before? How could anyone develop such a powerful spaceship?" A hint of doubt flashed in Tony Stark's eyes as he looked at the spaceship in mid-air.
"Sir, according to the scan, this should be an alien spaceship…" J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice sounded in the Mark III, "Its technological level far surpasses all current technology in the world, including the Mark III."
"Oh? You weren't in the house?" The Mandarin's somewhat surprised voice came from the spaceship. After recovering from his injuries, he had ordered his subordinates to investigate information on Huang Wen and Tony Stark. However, due to the delay in information, he hadn't yet received news of Tony Stark holding a new press conference before he came to Tony Stark's home.
After all, in the Mandarin's opinion, he always had to pick someone to vent his anger on, and since Huang Wen's whereabouts hadn't been found yet, he naturally came to find Tony Stark, whom he considered a soft target.
It must be said that the Mandarin's state of mind at this time was somewhat similar to Magneto's state of mind in the underground base back then, but it was precisely this state of mind that made them lose some of their ability to make rational judgments.
"Alien spaceship?" Tony Stark's eyes lit up. His first thought wasn't whether he could defeat this alien spaceship, but how he could get his hands on it.
With a "buzz!" sound, just as Tony Stark's eyes were gleaming, the Mandarin flew out of the spaceship.
"Another one who can fly?" Tony Stark muttered subconsciously as he looked at the Mandarin floating in mid-air. However, Tony Stark's gaze was quickly drawn to the Mandarin's hideous arms. "But you're not like him. Are you an alien, you guy? What should I call you? Lizard Arm Starman?"
"Heh heh, you do have some skill to be able to build such armor. Not bad, no wonder you were able to escape from my subordinates…" The Mandarin said with a hideous smile as he looked at Tony Stark, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been harmed like this. However, I also benefited from the misfortune. I lost my arms, but I gained even greater power!"
"I can't find that kid, so I'll start with you. After all, crushing you is as simple as crushing an ant!"
"You're the one who conspired with Obadiah to kidnap me?" Tony Stark's gaze narrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. A palm cannon blast directly shot towards the Mandarin.
With a "bang!" sound, the Mandarin waved lightly, and a barrier seemed to appear around him, effortlessly blocking the palm cannon.
"Damn it! Is everyone who can fly this difficult to deal with…" Tony Stark couldn't help but curse when he saw his attack was ineffective.
With a "bang!" sound, before Tony Stark finished speaking, he, along with the Mark III, flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
"Armor damaged 42%!" J.A.R.V.I.S.'s warning appeared in front of Tony Stark.
"What was that just now? Why didn't I see anything?" A hint of confusion flashed in Tony Stark's eyes as he asked with a frown.
"According to the data, it should be a type of supernatural ability, theoretically similar to magic power, or perhaps similar to the 'qi' in martial arts." J.A.R.V.I.S. quickly replied, "Similar abilities have been recorded, and any future encounters with similar abilities will automatically trigger evasion…"
With a "swish!" sound, as soon as J.A.R.V.I.S. finished speaking, Tony Stark felt the Mark III instantly fly in another direction, and a large pit appeared again where he had just landed.
"Oh? Interesting, this thing is even sturdier and more interesting than I imagined!" The Mandarin said with some surprise, seeing that he hadn't killed Tony Stark twice.
"Yeah, you old geezer are sturdier than I imagined! Too bad you're not as interesting as him…" Huang Wen's voice sounded behind the Mandarin, making the hairs on the Mandarin's back stand up instantly.
"System, issue mission: Kill the Mandarin!" This time, Huang Wen decisively issued the mission to kill the Mandarin, because enough was enough, Huang Wen no longer wanted to see this old geezer.
Moreover, and most importantly, Huang Wen had already taken the Mandarin's alien spaceship into his Spatial Ring, directly cutting off the Mandarin's retreat.
Speaking of which, it really took Huang Wen some effort to get the Mandarin's alien spaceship into his Spatial Ring. Huang Wen injected the energy of Silly Girl and activated the Indestructible Divine Art, which barely allowed the Spatial Ring to hold the alien spaceship.
Of course, another important reason was that Tony Stark attracted the Mandarin's attention, preventing the Mandarin from discovering that Huang Wen had stolen his alien spaceship.
"Generating mission: Kill the Mandarin. Reward: One legendary character lottery draw. Do you accept?"
"Indeed! Accept!" Huang Wen accepted the mission with a smile on his face.
"It's you! How dare you show up in front of me?" The Mandarin turned around, looked at Huang Wen with apprehension, then smiled hideously. But as he was smiling, the Mandarin's expression suddenly stiffened, "No, where's my spaceship? How did my huge spaceship disappear?"
"It should be you who dared to take the initiative, right? After all, you were beaten and fled twice by me before!" Huang Wen grinned, "As for the spaceship you mentioned, it's mine now!"
"Bastard! I'll kill you! I'll make you realize the power of my Dragon Arms!" The Mandarin instantly became enraged. Ever since he met Huang Wen, nothing good had happened. The first time, Huang Wen broke both his arms and he lost a ring, but he luckily escaped.
The second time, because of Huang Wen, his remaining nine rings were destroyed, and even both his arms were completely severed. Fortunately, he activated his spaceship and escaped to Venus, avoiding a disaster.
This was the third time. He had replaced his arms with even more powerful Dragon Arms, yet even his last retreat, the alien spaceship, was taken by Huang Wen. How could the Mandarin not be furious?
