Stark Industries' Arc Reactor research facility.
A massive Iron Monster was chasing after several Black-suited Agents and Pepper.
The Black-suited Agents fired back at the Iron Monster while they ran.
The bullets hit the Iron Monster, making only a clanging sound, but they didn't cause him any damage.
Pepper escaped the building and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was originally following Tony's instructions to go to his office to find some evidence of Obadiah's crimes.
But after going downstairs, she happened to run into Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D..
So Pepper brought Agent Coulson and several other agents to find Obadiah, intending to arrest him.
But Pepper didn't expect Obadiah to build a huge Iron Monster, which instantly killed several Black-suited Agents. The remaining agents and she had to flee in a panic.
Pepper ran outside the building and held her ear, answering Tony's call.
"Tony, are you alright?"
"Obadiah, he's gone mad! He also made a set of Armor."
Pepper quickly reported the situation to Tony, also worried about him.
"Pepper, I'm fine."
"Listen! You need to get out of there, run far away!"
Tony listened to Pepper's voice, comforting her while telling her to get out of there quickly.
He knew Obadiah wouldn't let them go, so they needed to escape now.
Just as they were talking, Pepper suddenly noticed the ground in front of her cracking.
At Tony's urging, an Iron Monster crawled out of the ground.
With the clatter of mechanical sounds and heavy footsteps, the Iron Monster walked towards Pepper.
"Where do you think you're going?"
A pair of glowing electronic eyes stared intently at Pepper, and Obadiah's voice came from inside the armor.
The Iron Monster had a huge body and a steel-like texture, and Pepper felt a huge sense of pressure enveloping her.
As the Iron Monster advanced, she kept backing away.
The Iron Monster raised its massive arm, the machine gun barrels on it spinning to life.
In the next second, countless bullets would pour forth, turning the woman before it into a sieve.
"Farewell, Pepper. You're no longer of use. You shouldn't have followed Tony," Obadiah said regretfully, looking at Pepper.
With that, he controlled the mech, preparing to activate the machine gun.
Just then, a yellow and red figure suddenly swooped down from above, kicking the Iron Monster away.
Obadiah lost his balance, and the machine gun in the Iron Monster's hand changed direction, firing wildly into the sky.
"Digging into my territory in front of me isn't a good idea, Stane!"
It turned out that Tony had arrived just in time.
He dove down and kicked with all his might, sending the Iron Monster flying with a tremendous force.
Obadiah was kicked right through the building, and was about to fall onto the road behind it.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly flashed out from above the street.
He kicked the Iron Monster, which was about to fall onto the road, back up.
"Phew~, good thing I made it, almost let him smash onto the road." Meng Ran exhaled, thinking to himself.
The people from the Pentagram Alliance started rushing here the moment they received the information.
It was just that Meng Ran was the fastest. He arrived here first, leading the way, while the others were still on their way.
Meng Ran said to the others through the communication link: "I'll take charge of this scene. You go to the side and maintain order, don't let some criminals take advantage of the chaos."
"Understood!" The others, upon receiving the communication, went to nearby areas to maintain order.
Obadiah, who had just been kicked by Meng Ran, once again crashed through the building, slamming into Tony who was still trying to look cool.
Meng Ran's kick was far more powerful than Tony's. Obadiah was directly shocked by the force that penetrated the armor, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
This was still Meng Ran holding back some of his strength; otherwise, the Iron Armor might not have broken, but Obadiah would certainly have died.
Tony had just kicked Obadiah away and said a harsh word when he was hit by the Iron Monster that Meng Ran had kicked back.
Meng Ran flashed and appeared at the edge of the open space in front of the Arc Reactor research center.
He said coldly to Tony, who was now on top of another man, and another pile of iron: "Are you an idiot? Do you know how many innocent civilians you'll hurt by kicking him onto the road?"
"Did your brilliant brain just short circuit on this kind of thing?"
Tony finally managed to crawl out from under the Iron Monster.
Hearing Meng Ran's cold questioning, he immediately understood how inappropriate his actions had just been.
"I... I'm sorry!" Tony said in a low, apologetic voice.
Obadiah also controlled his mech to stand up at this moment; that kick had really taken a toll on him.
He looked at Tony and Meng Ran, saying coldly, "The proud Tony Stark is actually apologizing to a clown in strange clothes."
"You've truly brought shame to your father's name, Tony."
"Kid! If he's your helper, then come at me together. I'll let you feel the power of my Iron Armor. It's much stronger than that flimsy, flashy thing you made."
The Iron Armor's cold gaze swept back and forth between Tony and Meng Ran.
Obadiah spoke harshly to the two of them, arrogance dripping from his words. Now that he had the Iron Monger armor, his confidence had inflated beyond measure.
Meng Ran watched Obadiah, who looked like a clown, without saying a word, his gaze cold and detached.
Then, Meng Ran turned to Tony and said coldly, "This is a problem you created, and you should be the one to solve it. I don't want to interfere in your affairs."
"But if you two endanger the innocent people outside, then this will no longer be just a matter between you two. At that time, I will show you what cruelty truly means. Do you understand?"
Tony nodded upon hearing this, though it wasn't because he was afraid.
On the one hand, he had realized just how inappropriate his actions had been; he had put everyone else in a dangerous situation.
On the other hand, he had also witnessed the demon's power himself, and knew that if the demon got serious, neither he nor Obadiah could even withstand a single blow.
Seeing Tony's swift surrender, Obadiah also realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
So, he stopped paying attention to Meng Ran, since Meng Ran had just said he wouldn't interfere.
Obadiah raised his arm towards Tony, firing the machine gun mounted on it at him.
Tony took a few hits from the machine gun, then flames suddenly erupted from his feet, launching him into the air.
He then maneuvered his body in the air, positioning himself behind Obadiah's Iron Monger armor.
Compared to Obadiah's clunky and powerful Iron Monger, Tony's armor's greatest advantage was its speed and flexibility.
He accurately used his advantage, making Obadiah run around in circles.
Tony crouched on the back of Obadiah's armor, pounding on the Iron Monger armor with his iron fists.
But both were made of steel; the only result of the hammering was a clanging sound.
After throwing a few punches, Tony realized the disadvantage and changed his strategy.
He reached into the gaps of the armor, grabbing the wires and connecting joints inside Obadiah's armor, and ripped at them with all his might.
This move was indeed effective. Tony quickly ripped open the top of Obadiah's Iron Monger, revealing the bald, bearded upper half of Obadiah.
Obadiah was instantly enraged. He controlled the armor to reach out, grabbed Tony from behind, and slammed him onto the ground.
Caught off guard, Tony was suddenly slammed onto the ground and felt a little dizzy.
Obadiah seized the opportunity, using the Iron Monger's giant iron foot to stomp down hard, aiming directly at Tony.
Tony was immediately stepped on by Obadiah and took a few hard hits.
"Beep beep beep! Warning! Armor damage 40%! Remaining energy 20%." After taking a few hits from the Iron Monger's attack, Jarvis also urgently reminded Tony of the armor's condition.
Observing the damage to his armor and his dwindling energy reserves, Tony realized he couldn't afford to drag this out with Obadiah any longer.
He extended his left hand, releasing energy, and finally managed to slide away just before Obadiah's Iron Monger foot came crashing down again, evading the attack.
Obadiah, seeing Tony's precarious situation, laughed with a mixture of rage and arrogance, shouting, "I've supported you for over 30 years, and I built this company from the ground up!"
"Nobody gets in my way! Especially not you, Tony!"
As he spoke, he raised his arm again and launched several missiles.
However, without the Iron Monger's targeting system, Obadiah's aim was off. Tony, relying on his reflexes, easily dodged them.
"Damn it!"
"Let's see how long you can keep dodging!"
Obadiah continued firing missiles, laughing maniacally.
Under Obadiah's direct targeting, a missile finally struck Tony.
Tony was instantly blasted away, crashing into a wall and tearing a large hole in it.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Tony coughed a few times; that hit had really knocked him around.
