"God!"
Looking at the dead man in front of him, with a peculiar substance at the corner of his mouth and swollen eyes,
Tony Stark frowned subconsciously and took a step back.
He was genuinely startled by the scene before him.
It wasn't that he had never seen a dead body, but he had never seen someone like this guy—someone who ended his life without the slightest hesitation!
What kind of force could instill such a willing, unwavering resolve in a person?
And with not a hint of nostalgia, ending his life the moment he decided to?
One has to admit, this scene truly shocked Tony Stark!
"Cyanide!"
Coming to Tony's side and watching him frown in a daze,
Su Che patted him on the shoulder to snap him out of it: "What, are you scared?"
"Somewhat!"
Facing Su Che's question, Tony Stark nodded without hiding it: "I'm not frightened by his death itself."
"I was frightened by his resolute, unwavering attitude in choosing to die."
"Damn it, what kind of insane force can train people like this?"
"I can't imagine how many more people like him are out there."
Having said that, Tony Stark turned to look at Su Che: "Dude, we might be in big trouble this time!"
"Scared?"
Seeing Tony's serious attitude, Su Che asked, "Is it too late to call off the investigation now?"
"How could it be?"
Hearing Su Che's words, Tony Stark shook his head seriously: "I was really shocked by this guy's firm choice just now."
"But the more this happens, the more determined I am to find them out!"
"This force is truly terrifying. I can't imagine what would happen if this kind of power..."
"If I didn't know about this force, that would be one thing. But now that I know, and I'm involved,"
"Then I absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing!"
"Whether it's because they instigated Obadiah Stane to plan my kidnapping or their insane methods!"
Having said that, Tony Stark looked at Su Che with a serious expression and said, "I'm sorry, buddy; I dragged you into this too."
"So, I owe you one!"
"Don't worry about it!"
Seeing Tony's apologetic look, Su Che smiled indifferently and said, "But this doesn't seem to fit your personality."
"Tsk, the dignified Tony Stark has also learned to apologize and meddle in other people's business?"
"Fuck you!"
Hearing Su Che's words, Tony Stark didn't hesitate to give him the middle finger: "Could it be that in your heart, I'm just that kind of arrogant, cocky playboy who only knows how to have fun?"
"Yes, and the assessment is very accurate!"
"You're an asshole!"
He shot Su Che an angry look.
But Tony Stark knew that the impression he seemed to give others was indeed just that!
Hmm...
When did he change and become responsible?
Knowing it would cause big trouble, yet still prepared to continue investigating?
It seemed that after being kidnapped, after seeing those people who were ruined, displaced, and turned into refugees because of Stark Industries' weapons leaked through Obadiah Stane's private channels...
Was this his own sense of responsibility, or was it a desire for redemption in his heart when faced with those dead and displaced refugees?
It didn't seem that important.
Many things had already happened and couldn't be changed.
The only thing he could do was not to torture himself spiritually.
But to take them down one by one, completely destroying all the weapons circulated by Stark Industries!
At the very least, they couldn't cause any more "disasters"!
"What are you thinking about?"
Patting Tony Stark on the shoulder, Su Che pointed outside: "We should go."
"Alright!"
Nodding, he turned and removed the USB drive from the main computer.
After going back, he'd have J.A.R.V.I.S. analyze the data carefully to see if any clues could be found.
"By the way, Sue, you just said to let the guy write it down, not say it."
"Did you already know this guy had poison in his mouth?"
"I had an idea, but I wasn't sure; it was just a precaution."
"Damn, you should have told me earlier. Wait, so you know what kind of force the other party is?"
"Of course I know, and I know better than anyone!"
"Then..."
"I won't tell you. But I'd rather see you busy searching for clues, though you'd better only investigate superficially and then destroy all the weapons Stark Industries leaked without authorization."
"If you investigate too deeply, once those guys go crazy, maybe something bad will happen."
"Don't worry, someone will deal with them!"
"...I always feel like you're fooling me!"
"Yeah, have you learned to be smart?"
"I knew it, Sue, you're a complete jerk!"
"Thanks for the compliment, but you'd better have someone prepare lunch in advance!"
"Got it, got it, I've asked Pepper to help prepare it. Shit, bastard!"
At the same time, Asgard!
"You mean, someone picked up Thor's Mjolnir?"
Hearing Heimdall's report, Loki's expression instantly turned ugly.
Why?
Why on earth would someone be able to pick up that Mjolnir?
How is this possible?
"How is it possible that anyone besides Thor can pick up Mjolnir?"
"Obviously I can't pick it up myself."
"But a mere earthling is actually qualified?"
"What is this?"
"A person on Earth, like an ant, is actually more qualified than I am?"
This made Loki feel utterly unacceptable for a moment!
"Yes, someone did lift Thor's hammer."
Looking at Loki, Heimdall said seriously, "However, he just picked it up to summon the power of thunder, flew around in the sky for a bit, and then put it back down."
"It seems he likes his own shield more than Mjolnir!"
"But Loki, you'd better not do anything dangerous. The one who picked up Mjolnir is valued by someone!"
Hearing Heimdall's words, Loki frowned and thought for a moment: "Where is Thor?"
"Thor is riding in a vehicle on Earth, heading towards where Mjolnir is."
"You can see he is very excited to find Mjolnir, but he doesn't know that Thor is stripped of his powers."
"Will he still be recognized by Mjolnir at this moment?"
Detecting a hint of worry in Heimdall's tone,
Loki nodded to show he understood.
After Heimdall left,
Loki held the Gungnir spear, a glint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
