The wind whistled in my ears, and the roar of the engine was like a passionate symphony, isolating the whole world from outside.
Tony's mouth curled up uncontrollably with excitement.
He likes this feeling.
This feeling of having everything in your own hands.
He drove the car around the track.
He cuts into every corner at the best angle.
Every time he accelerated, he squeezed the engine's performance to its maximum.
"Hey, Jarvis," he said quickly over the comms.
"Help me see, how many points would I get for that drifting move I just made? I think it should be at least 9.9 points, right? The remaining 0.1 point is because I was worried that I would be too proud."
After being injected with the serum, his reaction speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. He just felt that everything was too slow, really too slow.
"Sir, according to my data analysis, your cornering speed just now was 0.2 seconds faster than that of a professional F1 racer," Jarvis answered meticulously.
"However, I must remind you that your heart rate has exceeded 180 beats per minute. I suggest that..."
"Suggesting I drive faster? Good idea, Jarvis, you're getting to know me better." Tony interrupted him and stepped on the accelerator again!
The car was like red lightning, instantly overtaking the struggling car in front of it.
The atmosphere in the audience seats had already been ignited.
Everyone stood up from their seats, waving their arms and cheering loudly for the exciting race. Pepper and Happy stood nervously at the guardrail in the pits, their palms sweating.
At this moment, a hypocritical and greasy voice suddenly came from behind them.
The voice was very special, and one could tell without looking back that the person who said it was definitely a clown.
"Oh, look, isn't that our beautiful Miss Potts?" Justin Hammer approached with a glass of champagne and a big smile on his face. "I have to say, Tony's performance today was really unexpected. I thought he only knew how to party and pick up girls."
His words were sarcastic and tinged with cheap jealousy.
I can only say that he is more clownish than the Joker. At least he doesn't envy Bruce Wayne, nor does he actively try to make people laugh.
Pepper didn't even bother to turn her head. She said coldly, "Mr. Hammer, I don't think your seat is here, is it? Or is your Hammer Industries security system so advanced that it allows you to travel to other people's maintenance stations at will?"
Hammer was choked by her words and was speechless, and the smile on his face became stiff.
But he still refused to give up. He glanced at the red car leading the way on the track, then continued with a sour tone, "I'm just worried about Tony. You know, racing is a very dangerous sport. If he had an accident here, it would be a huge loss for our entire military industry."
As he spoke, he sighed seriously.
"But don't worry, Miss Potts." He changed the subject, and a smile that he thought was very charming appeared on his face.
"If anything were to happen to Tony, we at Hammer Industries would be happy to take over all the businesses left behind by Stark Industries."
He said, even trying to reach out and pat Pepper's shoulder.
But before his hand could fall, it was firmly grasped by another large hand like a palm leaf fan. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. His face flushed, but the man's expression remained unchanged.
It's Happy.
He stood in front of Pepper like a wall.
There was now only a cold warning in those eyes that always looked a little honest.
"Mr. Clown." He said in a low voice.
"I must remind you that this is a Stark Industries maintenance station. If you don't leave and dare to say anything nonsense to Miss Potts again, then I might consider throwing you into the Mediterranean Sea below to feed the fish."
What a clown! Who are you praising? No, who are you scolding?
But even though he complained, Hammer finally gave in when he saw Happy's burly figure and those warning eyes.
He withdrew his hand in dismay, muttering unwillingly, "Just a bodyguard, damn it..."
Then he disappeared into the crowd in disgrace.
Pepper rolled her eyes, and Happy withdrew her hand.
"Why did Gotham release the Joker?!" Pepper asked.
"I don't know. Maybe DC's directors can't control the actors anymore? Honestly, I think I could be a director myself," Happy shrugged.
"That's a great idea. How about we invest in you to make a movie called 'Iron Man'?" Pepper's eyes lit up. As they spoke, something strange happened on the track!
A man wearing a tattered orange prison uniform, his upper body covered with tattoos, and holding two long whips flashing with dazzling electric light, suddenly walked out slowly from a maintenance passage.
That's right, he is Whiplash, a man who has a secret with Tony Stark that must be told.
Low-budget Iron Man Ivan Vanko.
He reached the centre of the track and stopped.
"What is that?!"
"Oh my God! Who is he?! What does he want to do?!"
The audience around was stunned at first, and then burst into screams of terror!
But the man turned a deaf ear to the commotion around him.
He just stood there quietly, his eyes filled with hatred and madness, fixed on the red racing car that was speeding towards him!
"Roar!!!"
He roared, swung the electric whip in his hand, and lashed out fiercely at a green car that happened to be passing by, racing.
"Sizzle!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp cutting sound!
The racing car worth tens of millions was like being cut in half by an invisible, sharp blade in an instant!
"Boom!!!"
The flames of the explosion shot up into the sky!
The entire stadium fell into chaos and panic!
"Tony!!!" Pepper looked at the fire and screamed in despair!
And now, on the track.
Tony looked at the figure in front of him, bathed in firelight, his expression becoming serious.
"There are always some fearless guys who like to disturb my good things." He muttered to himself.
Instead of slowing down, he slammed on the accelerator again!
The red racing car rushed towards the man holding the electric whip like an angry bull!
Just when he was about to hit the other party, Tony slammed on the brakes!
"squeak!!!!"
Accompanied by a harsh sound of tire friction!
The car spun 180 degrees and stopped steadily in front of Ivan Vanko!
Then, in front of everyone's horrified gaze, Tony quickly stretched his left hand out of the cockpit.
The next second, a miracle happened!
A layer of golden-red liquid metal gushed out from his arm as if it had life!
They spread rapidly upwards along his arms, covering and reorganizing!
In less than a second, a pair of steel boxing gloves appeared in front of everyone!
Tony looked at Ivan Vanko, who was looking stunned, and smiled slightly.
He raised his arm, and the energy cannon in his palm lit up instantly!
"Bang!!!"
A beam of blazing energy instantly hit Ivan Vanko's chest!
Ivan didn't even have time to react. He flew backwards like a hit baseball and hit the guardrail beside the track hard!
Tony slowly walked out of the cockpit.
He looked at Ivan Vanko, who was struggling to get up from the ground, then looked at the two weapons in his hands that had lost their light because their energy cores had been destroyed, and smiled.
"Are you kidding?" He sneered mercilessly.
"You're just a lousy electrician who can't even figure out how to connect circuits, and you think you can challenge me?"
He wasn't even interested in putting on a full set of armor.
I have now been injected with an enhanced version of the super soldier serum.
Is it necessary to wear armor when fighting against an ordinary person who has lost his weapon and is unarmed?
That was simply an insult to him.
