Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Tony: If You Say Die, You Will Die, There Will Be No Delay!

Su Che casually grabbed a guy who was chattering in an unfamiliar language while shooting at him and threw him aside.

Then he asked Tony Stark, "What is this guy saying?"

"No idea."

After blasting the guy in front of him into the air with a repulsor blast, Tony Stark replied, "I would have asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to update the language database if I'd known earlier."

"You know there are many rare languages in this world, dozens of them undocumented, not to mention the indigenous languages of some small islands!"

As they spoke, Tony Stark and Su Che sped up clearing out these guys.

"By the way, buddy, you still haven't said why that kid Pietro is so 'cold' towards me!"

"Let's talk about that when we get back!"

Noticing a guy sneaking towards the mainframe, seemingly intent on damaging it, Su Che instantly rushed in front of him, tossed him into the air, and trapped him in a water prison.

This "Common" company seemed to have a lot of people, but none had any superpowers. It was handled without any hassle.

Especially when facing a metahuman with a perfect Superman-like defense that could ignore any physical damage and another Iron Man wearing armor that bullets couldn't penetrate, the attacks from these guys were utterly futile!

After dealing with them, Tony Stark came to Su Che's side: "Dude, your ability is really convenient."

Looking at the four guys trapped in mid-air water prisons, each restrained in a spread-eagle position with their mouths forced open by water currents—unable to kill themselves but able to breathe freely—Tony Stark asked Su Che, "Is there something special about this one?"

"All the other guys attacked us immediately. Only this one tried to destroy the mainframe right away."

"So I think he might know something!"

Hearing this, Tony's eyes lit up. He immediately took out a USB drive, inserted it into the mainframe, and let J.A.R.V.I.S. quickly restore its contents.

Tony Stark asked the guy trapped motionless in the water prison, "Buddy, can you understand what we're saying?"

"Well, judging from your expression, you probably can. So don't try to lie to me."

He took two steps forward as Su Che lowered the water prison to eye level. After thanking Su Che, Tony asked the trapped guy, "Don't be stubborn. It's useless. You should just tell us what you know."

"Trust me, if you're willing to tell us everything, I guarantee you'll live!"

Listening to Tony Stark's serious assurance, the trapped guy looked at him with "pity," as if to say that Tony had no idea what kind of existence he was actually investigating!

"Damn, I hate that look!"

Seeing the guy's expression, Tony was about to say more when sirens began blaring not far away!

"Wow, who said they're always the last to arrive?"

"I didn't expect the guys on this small island to be quite conscientious!"

"But looking at your eyes, you seem glad they're here."

"So, it's very likely they've been bribed by you, or are they just plain on your side?"

"No wonder they came so quickly."

Looking at the guy in the water prison, Tony turned to Su Che: "So, Mr. Superman, is there a way to keep us from being disturbed?"

"No problem."

Walking to the window and looking at the endless sea outside, Su Che turned and smiled at Tony Stark: "This is an island. As long as there's water, I'm invincible!"

With that, Su Che spread his arms. Instantly, the calm, gentle sea breeze turned into a roaring, turbulent frenzy.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying tsunami tens of meters high surged from the calm sea.

Before anyone outside could react, the massive tsunami slammed directly into the company.

"Hiss!" 

Looking at the dozens-of-meters-high, overwhelmingly terrifying tsunami that seemed capable of destroying all obstacles in its path, even Tony Stark felt the pressure of this catastrophic scene.

But then he saw the tsunami, towering tens of meters high, actually hover over the island's ground before enveloping the company layer by layer from the outside—not a single drop of seawater seeped into the building.

It was as if the entire company had become a lone submarine in the deep sea.

Tony spread his hands toward Su Che: "Dude, with control this precise, maybe I should re-evaluate your strength!"

"Ask what you need to know. Maybe we can go back for lunch after this!"

"No problem. My treat—you can eat whatever you want!"

Opening his visor and winking at Su Che, Tony Stark directly asked the guy in the water prison, "You've seen that the support you were counting on is completely meaningless."

"So, my friend, I advise you to tell us what you know. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

"Mmm․․Mmmmm․․"

Before Tony could finish, the guy with his mouth forced open seemed to want to say something.

Well, from the very start, you asked whether to talk or not, but you never gave me a chance to speak!

"Oh, sorry, sorry! I forgot about that. Dude, could you get the water out of his mouth?"

Only then, remembering that the guy's mouth was pried open and sealed with water, Tony spread his arms and laughed. He'd been questioning him for so long, and the guy had been silent simply because he couldn't speak!

"Are you sure? I suggest maybe having him write it down instead of speaking."

Hearing Tony's request, Su Che offered a reminder. But seeing Tony's confident "it's fine" expression, Su Che lightly snapped his fingers, unsealing the guy's mouth.

Freed from the seal—though still trapped immobile in the water prison—the guy moved his mouth and let out a cold laugh: "Tony Stark, the famous playboy."

"I'd rather you call me a genius or a philanthropist!"

"Heh, don't think you're invincible just because you put on a suit of iron."

"Poor, pathetic Tony Stark. You and the Silver Moon Knight will never know what kind of existence you've provoked!"

Glaring coldly at Tony Stark, the guy's gaze grew resolute. He shut his mouth without hesitation, gritting his teeth as if afraid his mouth would be sealed again with water!

As the guy clenched his teeth hard, his eyes soon bulged abruptly. A strange substance slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"I'll be waiting for you two in hell..."

After viciously cursing them, the guy instantly stopped breathing.

Well, he died as soon as he said it—not a second's delay!
