The track was filled with the smell of burning rubber.
All around were the burning wreckage of racing cars and the terrified screams of the crowd in the distance.
Ivan Vanko staggered to his feet.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the leisurely man not far away. He glanced at the reactor on his chest, which had completely extinguished, and the two heavy electric whips in his hands.
These two electric whips were his hope for revenge, but now, they were destroyed by Tony Stark!
Feelings of unwillingness and despair instantly surged into his heart.
He failed.
The hatred he had spent half his life on and inherited from his father was so vulnerable in front of this man.
Tony was speechless. Two Jokers had appeared in one day. It was hard to judge. He wondered if Batman had truly let himself go.
"Stark..." Ivan Vanko began, his voice hoarse.
He began to unfasten the mechanical exoskeleton that held the electric whip.
With a bang, the two electric whips and the reactor that had turned into scrap metal fell to the ground together.
He was shirtless, revealing the muscles he had developed in a Siberian prison.
He looked at Tony, and a mocking and contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was twisted by hatred.
"Tony Stark, who do you think you are without that iron shell?" he said through gritted teeth.
"You are just a poor ordinary person hiding behind money and weapons."
"Your father, Howard Stark, is a thief! He stole everything from my father! And you, Tony Stark, you are just like your damn father! You are both thieves! You stole the glory and wealth that should have belonged to our Vanke family!"
He roared like a cornered beast.
Tony listened quietly, his face calm, so calm that it was a little scary.
"Are you done?" He spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly heard over the sirens that were getting closer in the distance.
"First, I have to correct a few common-sense errors of yours. First, my father is not a thief; he is a genius. And your father, based on my previous guess, may just be a loser who was fired by my father."
"Secondly," he paused, looking as if he were looking at a mentally retarded person.
"I've never been an ordinary person."
Ivan Vanko was so angry at his words that he trembled all over.
He stopped talking nonsense, roared, bent down suddenly, and picked up an iron whip from the ground!
Although it has lost its energy, this iron whip weighing dozens of kilograms is a weapon in itself!
"Go to hell! Stark!!!"
He roared and swung the iron whip in his hand, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, and swept it fiercely towards Tony's head!
The force of this whip is enough to cut an adult bull in half!
In the audience, Pepper and Happy watched this horrifying scene, their hearts instantly rising to their throats!
They wanted to shout, they wanted Tony to get away quickly!
But it's too late!
Just as the iron whip was about to hit Tony's head.
Tony, move.
He didn't hide or dodge.
He just slowly raised his right hand.
Then, in front of everyone's horrified gaze, he casually caught the iron whip with his own hands!
"Bang!!!"
There was a loud noise of metal colliding with flesh!
A visible air wave spread out in all directions with them as the center!
However, the expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur.
Tony still stood there quietly.
His hands, which had become somewhat thicker due to the injection of serum, were like a pair of pliers, tightly gripping the still-humming iron whip! The track beneath his feet was cracking inch by inch!
But he himself did not even take a single step back!
The entire stadium seemed to be suspended in time.
Ivan Vanko stared blankly at the scene before him, fear appearing in his eyes.
Nothing else just because he felt that the hand he was holding was not someone's.
But it is a mountain that cannot be shaken!
"You're quite strong." Tony looked at him and smiled, but his smile was a little teasing.
After taking a look at the other person, Tony saw the tattoo on Ivan's body and instantly understood something.
"It seems like prison food is pretty good. At least it's allowed you to build up some decent muscles."
He paused, then slowly raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
"Good. Now, no more shiny toys."
"Congratulations, Mr. Crappy Electrician."
"You successfully unlocked my second stage."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with the hand holding the iron whip!
He began to lose control and was dragged over by Tony!
Ivan Vanko only felt an irresistible force coming from the other end of the iron whip!
Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, Tony released the iron whip, clenched his other hand into a fist, and threw a clean uppercut, hitting Ivan Vanko's chin hard!
"Bang!"
A dull sound of bones breaking was heard, clearly heard in the audience.
Ivan Vanko's body was like being hit by an invisible giant hammer; his feet left the ground, and his whole body flew upwards!
At the moment when Ivan Vanko's body was about to fall, he suddenly turned around and threw a powerful
But, this is far from over!
Tony's movements are smooth and rhythmic.
The whip kick hit his waist fiercely!
"Bang!"
Another muffled sound!
Ivan Vanko's body flew sideways like a hit baseball.
Then he slammed heavily onto the wreckage of the racing car that he had cut in half.
"Boom!"
The entire stadium was stunned and couldn't believe what they saw.
"I have to say, your ability to withstand blows is much worse than I thought."
Tony slowly pulled his legs back. He looked at the pile of scrap metal not far away, which was already emitting black smoke. He curled his lips, his face full of disappointment.
"I thought we could play for a while longer. Turns out it's not even a warm-up."
As he spoke, he moved his wrists and ankles as if he had just swatted a buzzing fly.
At this moment, Happy and a group of armed security guards finally arrived.
"Boss! Are you okay?!" Happy looked at the doomsday-like scene in front of him and felt a little scared.
But he saw Tony in front of him, who was unharmed, and not even his hair was messed up.
He suddenly felt his brain crash again.
Pepper also ran down from the audience, her skirt lifted up, her face full of fear and worry.
"Tony!"
She ran to Tony and wanted to say something, but in the end, all her words turned into an angry roar.
"You are such an incurably arrogant bastard!!!"
"Hey, Pepper, relax." Tony looked at her, who looked like she was about to cry, and smiled helplessly but gently.
"Look, I'm fine, aren't I? I was just having a conversation with this friend who came from afar about the after-sales service of Stark Industries products."
He walked over to the pile of mechanical exoskeletons Ivan Vanko had removed, then bent down and picked up the completely scrapped, crude reactor.
"Jarvis, scan this little thing."
"Yes, sir."
"Scan completed." Jarvis' voice soon sounded in his headphones.
"The device has a crude structure, low energy conversion efficiency, and serious safety hazards. The overall score is failing."
"I knew it." Tony shook his head, then looked at Ivan and shook his head.
"Look at this thing you've made. It's not even as good as the original version I hammered out of a pile of scrap metal in a cave in Afghanistan. Honestly, if your father knew you'd made such a piece of crap out of the only piece of technology he had left, I bet he'd crawl out of his grave and strangle you, your unfilial son, with his own hands."
As he spoke, he glanced at the pile of scrap metal that was still emitting black smoke and shrugged.
"It seems that he is very satisfied with our service."
Pepper:.
She felt that one day she would be angered to death by this man.
Tony ignored her and turned around to look at the audience and reporters around him who had gone crazy and were taking pictures of him crazily with their mobile phones and cameras.
He smiled slightly, then slowly opened his arms.
He enjoyed the admiring and enthusiastic looks.
He knew that from this moment on, the name Iron Man would no longer be just a simple code name.
It will become a legend.
