Indeed.
The diary's owner had repeatedly mocked his big Tony, which had annoyed Tony Stark quite a bit.
But to be honest, Tony Stark still valued the "spoilers" in the diary very much.
Especially this time, when he was kidnapped.
Tony Stark had basically confirmed the accuracy of the diary's spoilers, confirming that what the diary described was true.
In this situation,
he was even less willing to lose such an important source of "peeking into the future."
So after careful consideration, Tony Stark still decided not to expose Zhou Cheng's identity for the time being.
Just like that, he followed Zhou Cheng, along with Yisen.
They went through the winding passages, turning left and right as they made their way out.
It was quiet the entire time, with no Ten Rings terrorists coming to stop them. They made it out of the cave without a hitch.
Finally, they were out!
Both Tony Stark and Yisen couldn't help but feel excited, as if they had been reborn.
But the next moment.
Their eyes casually swept over the Ten Rings base outside, and they were both stunned.
Looking out.
They saw a shocking big pit in the center of the base, and countless cracks spread out from that pit.
It covered almost the entire base.
It's just too much!
What kind of force could create such a scene?
More importantly,
Looking at the entire massive pit, there wasn't any smoke!
In other words, the pit wasn't the result of an explosion.
Instead, it was a different kind of "non-explosive" method.
Even with Tony Stark and Yisen's incredibly high levels of knowledge, they could tell at a glance.
The pit seemed to be formed purely by physical means!
But how was that possible?
Moreover,
There was no one else in the entire area besides the flattened houses, vehicles, bodies strewn everywhere, and bloodstains!
It was as if...
...besides the masked individual, who was presumably the diary's owner, no one else had been there!
But how could that be possible?
Wiping out the Ten Rings' secret base was simply not something one person could accomplish.
That was absurd.
This masked guy definitely had other companions!
Even so, another huge question immediately arose.
What kind of unit could complete an operation of this scale and then withdraw so quickly?
Without leaving a trace?
This was ridiculously fast, wasn't it?
What's more...
...you retreated so cleanly, you didn't even leave anyone behind to pick up the two rescued targets?
Are they supposed to walk out of here?
This evacuation makes absolutely no sense!
No matter how he thought about it, something wasn't right.
Yisen only felt a massive headache, completely unable to understand the situation.
As for Tony Stark beside him? He was even more certain of his previous guess.
Only a Superhero with extraordinary power would make everything in front of them make sense.
Only a Superhero could do something so unbelievable!
Only a Superhero could single-handedly sweep through an armed base!
It seemed that things were basically as expected.
That "masked man" who eliminated all the Ten Rings terrorists and saved him and Yisen was most likely the diary's owner, Zhou Cheng.
Of course.
If this was the only point of suspicion, it wouldn't be enough to make Tony Stark come to this conclusion.
But if other suspicious points were added, the playboy felt he had enough reason to suspect him. "Wait here for a moment."
"Our plane will arrive soon."
Zhou Cheng didn't pay attention to Tony Stark's reaction.
He took out his phone and contacted Wade Wilson, who was waiting nearby.
Boom! Not long after.
With the sound of the helicopter blades whirring, a helicopter landed in front of Tony Stark and the others.
Clang!
The door opened, and Wade Wilson jumped out of the helicopter with a flourish.
"Shit!"
"What happened here!"
Just glancing at the scene, the Merc with a Mouth was similarly shocked and stunned.
Compared to Tony Stark and Yisen.
He knew perfectly well that this rescue mission had been carried out solely by Zhou Cheng.
That is to say.
That guy single-handedly cleared out an armed base in such a short amount of time!
This… this is just a joke!
You have to remember, Wade Wilson himself came from the Canadian Special Forces.
Just by looking at it, he could tell what kind of firepower was needed to take down an armed base of that level.
It was simply not something one person could do.
And yet.
Zhou Cheng had done it.
Just who was this Zhou guy, anyway?
What kind of monster had he gotten to know?
Thinking about how he had initially tried to use force to coerce such a monster, Wade Wilson felt a chill run down his spine.
"He's asking for it!"
"Alright, our ride's here!"
Zhou Cheng's voice cut through Wade Wilson's thoughts.
Zhou Cheng casually introduced the helicopter to Tony Stark and Yisen.
Wade Wilson didn't hesitate any further, sauntering over to Tony Stark with a flourish.
"Stark, I'm here to take you home! Touched? Excited? Just a moment..."
Mid-flourish, Wade Wilson's gaze landed on Yisen. "Who's this guy? Why is there another one?"
"Take him back too!"
Zhou Cheng gestured to Wade Wilson without further explanation, then hopped into the helicopter.
It was as if…
He was the rescue target, and those two real rescue targets were just insignificant characters.
Shrugging, Wade Wilson didn't say much. In fact, he didn't care at all.
After Zhou Cheng boarded the plane and settled in, he casually beckoned Tony Stark and Yisen to get on as well.
Rumble!
Soon enough.
The familiar sound of the propellers started up again, and the helicopter ascended rapidly under the immense thrust.
Tony Stark tilted his head, gazing out the window at the increasingly distant armed base. His heart was filled with complex emotions.
This place, which had been like hell for him, would be forever etched in his memory.
Let him never forget it.
In the short month and a half he'd been here, he'd experienced so much, lost so much, and gained a lot too.
Tony Stark knew.
Although he'd come out alive and kicking, he wasn't the same man.
