In the lab, Andy was sitting on the sofa, reviewing research and manufacturing data for warframes, frantically absorbing the knowledge within.
Currently, he could only manufacture warframe equipment created by the Orokin Empire; he couldn't yet research and build warframes of his own design.
warframes were completely different from the knowledge he had unlocked in the past; the scope they covered was simply too vast.
Even with Andy frantically absorbing the knowledge, he had only mastered a very small portion of it.
For the entire manufacturing process of a warframe, it was barely worth mentioning.
Andy didn't intend to master all this knowledge in a short period.
The partial technology he had mastered now was enough to further develop Orokin Technology.
Just as Andy was studying, the laboratory door opened.
It was Tina who entered. She turned on the TV in the lab and said, "Andy, I think you should seriously consider whether there's a risk in acquiring Stark Industries' stock on such a large scale."
As she spoke, she pointed to the news report about Stark Industries. In recent days, news about Stark Industries had frequently appeared on television programs.
Everyone was anxious about Stark's decision, and news of Stark Industries even appeared on some talk shows.
The talk show hosts were frantically mocking Stark, believing that his actions were leading Stark Industries to ruin.
For a time, Stark Industries' stock plummeted.
Because he understood Stark's capabilities, Andy heavily acquired the dumped shares.
Andy wasn't the only one doing this; Norman Osborn also participated.
The two of them bought up most of the shares Stark Industries had sold, becoming a not-so-small shareholder in Stark Industries.
Stark didn't care about the actions of Andy and Norman Osborn.
They were both qualified businessmen; if they thought they could make money, they would certainly get involved.
Even he would do the same. Although none of them lacked money, who would complain about having too much?
Looking up at the news reporter on TV who was constantly mocking Stark, Andy smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've thought it through. Stark's new energy still has a big market, and now is the time to get involved.
Besides, you know what kind of person Stark is; how could he do something he's not confident about?"
That was true, Tina nodded in agreement.
As a super genius, Stark's story had been heard by many.
Not only was he born with a silver spoon, but he also entered MIT at fifteen and graduated from there with the highest score.
His inventive abilities were evident to everyone; even if he stopped researching and manufacturing weapons, he could still stand at the pinnacle of other fields.
"Alright then, I'll go help Pepper check Stark Industries' accounts. She's been looking for Stark Industries' inventory list recently."
With that, Tina left the laboratory.
She wasn't like Andy, who, besides research, rarely got involved in other matters concerning Orokin Technology.
As the Vice President of Orokin Technology and Andy's executive assistant, she was very busy every day, handling a large amount of documents.
After Tina left, Andy watched the news on TV for a while longer.
Almost everyone expressed doubt about Stark's decision, looking at the financial experts on TV who spoke so eloquently.
Andy found it laughable; these people didn't understand Stark at all, treating him as merely a weapons manufacturer.
Little did they know that the technology Stark possessed, weapons were only a part of it.
Turning off the TV, Andy re-entered his study state, beginning to learn about warframe manufacturing.
Perhaps he was too engrossed, for by the time Andy mastered a new warframe technology, it was already brightly lit outside.
Standing by the window, Andy stretched and said, "Get me a cup of coffee, Audis."
Sitting for too long had made his whole body stiff. Now, moving his joints, he felt a refreshing soreness throughout his body.
"Here is your coffee."
"Thank you, Audis."
He picked up the coffee handed to him by the robotic arm and took a sip; an extremely bitter taste quickly spread through his mouth.
It instantly invigorated Andy, who frowned and asked, "Audis, did you forget to add sugar?"
"Emmm, Audis thought you needed to be energized. You looked like you hadn't rested in days just now."
Andy felt a bit helpless about Audis's concern.
"Even if you want to make me energetic, you don't need to make such strong coffee. It's really too bitter without sugar."
Grumbling about Audis, he casually placed the coffee on the table.
Audis was about to respond, but Andy's phone suddenly rang.
"Help! Pepper and I are being chased."
The call was from Tina; from her panic and the sound of explosions nearby, it was clear she wasn't joking.
"I'm coming right away. Where are you?"
Andy said loudly, opening the display rack. To rescue them quickly, Andy began to equip Volt.
"We're at Stark Industries. The one chasing us is Obadiah; he's driving a giant mech."
"You and Pepper hide and be careful. I'm on my way now."
As he spoke, Andy had finished equipping himself.
After checking his gear, Andy rode his hoverboard towards Stark Industries.
By the time Andy arrived at Stark Industries on his hoverboard, more than ten minutes had passed.
Outside Stark Industries, two Iron Men of completely mismatched sizes were engaged in a fierce battle.
They were easy to identify; Stark's Mark 3 was gold and red, matching his showy personality.
Obadiah, on the other hand, was wearing an Iron Man Suit modified from Mark 1, not even painted yet.
Obadiah appeared to have the upper hand, and Stark was being beaten quite badly.
The enormous size completely overwhelmed the smaller frame of the Mark 3, and Stark was being relentlessly pummeled by Obadiah.
Seeing that Stark was temporarily out of danger, Andy first contacted Tina.
"Where are you?"
"You go help Mr. Stark first; we're very safe now."
Hearing Tina report that they were safe, Andy finally relaxed and turned to rush towards the two combatants.
At this moment, Obadiah grabbed a car and smashed it towards Stark on the ground, just as it was about to hit.
A flash of electricity passed, and Stark on the ground disappeared.
"You look like you're in bad shape. Want a shot?"
Looking at the slightly dim reactor on Stark's chest, streaks of electric light emanated from Andy's hand.
Before Stark could nod in agreement, the electric arc struck the Mark 3.
"Sir, reactor energy has been replenished. Current energy remaining: 30%."
"Thanks."
Stark struggled to get up from the ground, thanked him, and charged at Obadiah again.
Despite the replenished energy, the Mark 3 was still no match for Obadiah's massive Iron Man Suit; most of the time, Stark was taking a beating.
Watching the two entangled in battle, Andy's Ignis had no use.
With the two so close, it was impossible for Ignis's flames to completely avoid Stark.
If Stark accidentally got caught by Ignis's corrosive explosive flames, Andy couldn't guarantee that Stark wouldn't be instantly blown to death.
Even if Stark's Mark 3 used gold-titanium alloy and had flame protection, it wouldn't be enough.
Intense corrosion combined with explosions and high temperatures, even gold-titanium alloy wouldn't last long.
Helpless, Andy had no choice but to take out his Empty Blade and charge towards Obadiah with accelerated speed.
Since Ignis couldn't be used, then the Empty Blade would have to do. The corrosive effect of the Empty Blade could also break through Obadiah's Iron Man Suit.
