[Marvel : Spoiling Spider-man] Chapter 326 - 330

Chapter 326: Ellen Brandt

[At this time, a woman slapped a document on the table and said, "Actually! That's me!" This person was the woman Tony bumped into outside the bar before, her name was Ellen Brandt.]

[The two of them took a look at the ID, and before Tony could react, the other party pressed him down on the table and handcuffed his hands behind his back.]

[What happened here attracted the attention of other people in the bar, and Tony immediately grabbed the dog tags on the table.]

[The sheriff, who was drinking, shouted, "What's going on? What happened?"]

["I'm arresting someone!" she said, throwing Tony to the ground and looking at the sheriff: "Are you the sheriff?"]

["Yes! I'm the sheriff! Who are you?" The sheriff put his hand on the gun and nodded.]

["Homeland Security! Any questions?" She held up her ID and showed it to the sheriff.]

["YES! There is a problem! You'd better explain the whole story clearly!" The sheriff obviously didn't believe her.]

["Well! I'm afraid you're not of sufficient rank! Sheriff!" While Ellen Brandt was distracted by the conversation with the sheriff, Tony signaled to Mrs. Davis.]

[She understood and slid the documents on the table under the table beside her.]

[The sheriff said noncommittally: "Yeah! Then go contact Nashville and ask them to promote me!"]

[Seeing that the sheriff was not backing down, she lost her patience and approached him and said, "Well, you know what? I had hoped to resolve this peacefully! But..."]

["This methods always work better!" As she spoke, the hand holding the ID began to emit red and yellow light. Tony couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.]

[The sheriff didn't care about her words and ordered the police officer beside him: "Officer! Arrest this woman!"]

[Before he finished speaking, the other party attacked and pressed the red-hot ID card against the sheriff's face. The sheriff had no time to react and the pistol on his waist was taken away by her.]

[With two gunshots, the sheriff and the police officer were killed. While Ellen Brandt was dealing with the sheriff, Tony got up and slipped out of the bar.]

[He even had the leisure to tease her: "Hey! Hot girl! Wanna play? Just you and me! Let's go!"]

"Even in mortal danger, he can't help himself," Pepper sighed, shaking her head with a mix of exasperation and fondness.

"That's Tony for you," Rhodey agreed with a short laugh. "Always has to have the last word."

[He ran to the side, but after running a few steps he found Eric Savin getting out of the car, his skin also glowing.]

[Eric Savin held a cup of coffee in his hand, smiled at Tony, and threw the coffee in the cup away.]

[Tony turned and ran, Eric Savin picked up the gun and pointed it at his back. Just as he was about to shoot, a snowball hit him, causing him to tremble and miss the target.]

[He turned his head unhappily and looked at the guy who ruined his plan. It turned out to be Harley. After throwing the snowball, Harley quickly ran behind a pillar and secretly watched him.]

"Oh my God! Harley!" May Parker gasped, her hand flying to her mouth.

"Is the child going to be okay?" Wanda asked anxiously, her hands unconsciously beginning to glow red.

"Good job, kid! You're very brave!" Sam Wilson exclaimed, impressed by the young boy's courage.

The multiverse viewers expressed great admiration for Harry's bravery, but many were also deeply concerned about such a young child being involved in something so dangerous.

"Okay! This kid isn't that annoying anymore!" Tony admitted with a grudging smile, clearly impressed by the boy's quick thinking and courage.

Bruce Banner began rapidly analyzing the situation. "Ellen Brandt—she must be one of Killian's Extremis soldiers. We need to investigate her background, find out how she's connected to all this."

Everyone looked at him with understanding, appreciating Banner's methodical approach to the problem.

Meanwhile in another universe, the real Ellen Brandt, who was undercover in the Department of Homeland Security, watched the broadcast with growing concern. She had been exposed. When she first appeared on the mysterious screen, she hadn't worried much—she could easily fabricate an excuse.

But now, with her Extremis abilities revealed to everyone, she could no longer maintain her cover. Looking at the Homeland Security agents around her pointing guns in her direction, she took a deep breath and her whole body began to glow red...

[Tony hid behind a car. A man was lying there taking shelter. Tony looked at him and said jokingly, "Isn't it crazy?"]

["Yeah!" The man nodded subconsciously.]

[Tony glanced behind him, then turned his head and said to him, "Watch out!" Without waiting for him to react, he broke through the glass of the restaurant next to him and fell inside.]

[Ellen Brandt walked out of the bar, and the bar owner rushed out with a shotgun and tried to shoot her, but she knocked him to the ground and took away the shotgun.]

[Inside the store, Tony had just stood up when he found her aiming the shotgun at him. Tony reacted very quickly and immediately hid behind the counter, narrowly avoiding the shot.]

[Ellen Brandt didn't care when she saw that she didn't hit the target. She threw away the shotgun, took off her suit jacket to reveal her shirt, and walked towards the store.]

"She's not even trying to hide it anymore," Natasha observed coolly. "She's confident she can take him out."

"Without his armor, Tony's at a serious disadvantage," Steve added grimly.

[Tony saw her coming in through the hole made by the shotgun, so he went to the other side and looked up but didn't see anyone, so he turned his head to look the other way.]

[Unexpectedly, the other party had come to his side without him knowing, and the two of them were facing each other at a very close distance, which scared Tony.]

[Before Tony could react, she grabbed his collar and slammed him against the pillar, then elbowed him in the temple.]

[After being hit, Tony staggered to the side, but Ellen Brandt did not stop and grabbed his hand again and threw Tony over her shoulder.]

[Tony fell on the counter, and she leaned on the side, propping her head with her hands and looking at him with a smile on her face.]

[Tony quickly turned over to get away from her, but she predicted his move and turned over with him.]

[Before he could stand steady, she grabbed Tony's handcuffs, lifted his hands up, and slammed him against the pillar again.]

[She smiled at Tony again, then her skin began to glow, and she pressed her hands on Tony's face and began to burn him.]

[Tony felt the pain and used all his strength to pull her around in a circle, then stepped on the table and jumped to the counter opposite, and handcuffed her neck.]

[He strangled her with all his strength, but Ellen Brandt didn't care. Instead, she chuckled at him twice. As her body temperature rose rapidly, the handcuffs melted away in a few seconds.]

[Tony fell backwards because of the excessive force. After landing, he quickly threw off the handcuffs, and the inside of both handcuffs turned red.]

[Looking at her, Tony came up with an idea. He first knocked over the oil beside him and kicked it over, then kicked the handcuffs on the ground over as well.]

[The hot handcuffs met the oil and immediately ignited it, sealing the door.]

[Ellen Brandt looked at the blazing fire in front of her, but she didn't care and walked straight into the fire. She seemed to be enjoying it.]

Chapter 327: Christmas Gift

[Tony took advantage of the fact that Ellen Brandt hadn't come out yet, turned on the microwave, turned the power to the maximum, and hid under the table.]

[Tony looks at the door and yells, "You've found the right person! I've dated hotter girls than you!"]

[Before he finished his words, the other person rushed out of the door with flames all over her body. Her skin was burnt a little black.]

[She mocked Tony, "Is this all you can do? Playing tricks and telling jokes?"]

[Tony unplugged the gas cylinder. Hearing this, Tony was not angry, but joked: "Honey! This is the name of my autobiography!"]

[She rushed out and closed the door behind her. Only then did she see the dog tag in the microwave and the valve that was not closed.]

[Unfortunately, it was too late. The next second, an explosion occurred, blowing her away directly, and even the wall was directly shattered.]

[Tony hid behind the trash can, pulled out the lid to cover his upper body, and successfully withstood this round of impact.]

[However, the lid was also damaged, and Tony pulled it off directly.]

[He walked to the street, looked at the passers-by running by in panic, threw away the lid in his hand, and then saw Ellen Brandt hanging on the high-voltage wire.]

[Just when Tony was rejoicing that he had finally dealt with the other party, a sound suddenly came from the water tower next to him, and one of the feet turned red.]

[It turned out to be Eric Savin. His hands were so hot that they burned the steel brackets red and softened them. The ropes fixing the water tower also broke one after another.]

[Tony immediately started to run away when he saw this. Eric Savin saw that it was almost melted, so he pulled hard and the softened steel immediately fell down.]

[The water tower also collapsed and hit a house, and a large amount of water and countless debris poured out.]

[After the water surged past, one of Tony's legs was pinned down by the debris, and he was unable to break free for a while.]

"This is bad," Steve said grimly. "He's trapped and there's another Extremis soldier."

"And he's used up the element of surprise," Clint added. "These guys won't fall for the same trick twice."

[Just when Tony was still thinking of a way to escape, he suddenly heard Harry's cry for help: "Let me go!"]

[Eric Savin carried Harry and shouted in a strange voice: "Help! Help!"]

[Tony is still trying to break free, but finds it's not that easy.]

[Eric Savin held Harry and sat down on a chair, put him on his knees and joked: "Okay! Hey! Kid! What do you want for Christmas?"]

[Harley couldn't break free, and could only look at Tony and apologize: "Mr. Stark! I'm so sorry!"]

[Eric Savin said, "Oh! NONONO! What he meant to say is, I want that document!"]

[Tony looked at Harley and comforted him: "This is not your fault! Kid! Remember what I told you to do when you are bullied?"]

[Hearing Tony's words, Harley's eyes suddenly widened, and he remembered his flash bomb. Tony gestured to him expectantly.]

[Harley took out the flash bomb from his pocket, took a deep breath, and did what Tony had said before.]

[The moment the flash bomb was activated, the dazzling sight gave Eric Savin a strong stimulation, and he fell backwards to the ground along with the chair, and Harley took the opportunity to escape.]

["Do you like it? Country bumpkin? That's what smart people are like! They always have a way to protect themselves!" Tony mocked him and then stretched out his hand towards him.]

[I saw a part of the Mark 42 palm cannon appear in his hand, and with the sound of energy gathering, Tony fired a shot at his face.]

[The powerful impact caused Eric Savin to fly backwards to the ground, with his entire face collapsed.]

[After dealing with Eric Savin, Tony swung his hands wildly and threw away the palm cannon, because the palm cannon was very hot at this time.]

[He then took a wooden stick and successfully freed his foot, and took Eric Savin's car keys.]

"Wow! I didn't expect he had another trick up his sleeve!" Spider-Man—the 2nd Gen Peter—exclaimed in surprise. Although he was relieved after seeing Harley run away, he had been worried that Tony was still trapped and unable to move.

No one expected that Tony actually had secretly hidden a palm cannon as a trump card. Although it could only be used once, it was enough!

"Like he said, he is a smart man and always finds a way to protect himself!" Gwen Stacy remarked with a smile, clearly impressed by Tony Stark's intelligence and foresight.

"He should be dead, right?" Helen Stacy looked questioningly at 2nd Gen Spider-Man.

"I don't know," 2nd Gen Spider-Man replied uncertainly. "It seems that the woman from before has a strong recovery ability. The burns all over her body recovered in a short time."

If it were a normal person, they would definitely be dead from having their face blown apart. But after seeing the recovery abilities of Ellen Brandt and the other Extremis subjects, 2nd Gen Spider-Man couldn't be sure anymore.

Tony managed to obtain some information about Ellen Brandt from the documents, and learned that she did work for Homeland Security—but Tony only found out the full details after he contacted the Department of Homeland Security directly.

Ellen Brandt was now dead. She had died from a self-explosion. Her detonation also injured a large number of staff members. The Department of Homeland Security had completely lost face in this incident.

"A mole inside a government agency," Maria Hill said grimly. "Killian's reach is more extensive than we thought."

"Makes you wonder how many more are out there," Natasha added, her expression darkening. "And in what positions of power."

Tony was a little disappointed after learning that the person he had been tracking was dead. He had been expecting to use her to find Killian!

Fortunately, there was other good news. After seeing the events on the mysterious broadcast, Mrs. Davis had taken the information to the police. After reviewing it, Nick Fury had sent agents to take over the investigation.

[Tony walked out of the bar with the information, looking at it as he walked.]

[Harley comes out and shouts, "You're welcome!"]

[Tony looked at him strangely: "Thank you for what? What did I miss?"]

[Harley patted his arm and said, "I saved you!"]

[Tony didn't know that Harley threw a snowball at Eric Savin, so he retorted: "Yeah! One: I saved you!"]

["Two: Thank you!"]

["And three: If you help others, don't be so annoying! Do you understand? Stay calm, otherwise people will think you are boastful!"]

"That's rich coming from Tony Stark of all people," Hawkeye snorted, unable to suppress a grin.

"The king of boastfulness giving lessons on humility," Pepper laughed softly. "Classic Tony."

[As he said this, he opened the door of Eric Savin's car and was about to get in.]

[Harley retorted: "You don't? Admit it! You need me! We are in sync!"]

["I just want you to go home and spend time with your mom! Don't say anything, take care of the suit! Stay near the phone! When I call you, you have to answer! Okay?"]

[Tony reached out and took off his hat, "Do you understand? Stop following me! Get out of the way or I'll run you over! Bye, kid!"]

[Harley stood there and looked at him. Tony started the car, lowered the window and apologized: "I'm sorry! Kid! You did a great job!"]

"He's growing fond of the boy," Wanda observed with a small smile. "Even if he doesn't want to admit it."

"Tony's better with kids than he lets on," Happy nodded knowingly. "Always has been."

Chapter 328: Mandarin's Lesson

[Harley approaches and asks, "So are you going to abandon me now like my dad did?"]

[Tony blinked and said, "Yeah!" Then he realized what was going on and frowned, "Wait! Are you pretending to be pitiful?"]

[Harley immediately curled up and said, "I'm so cold!"]

["I can see that! Do you know why I can see that? Because we are in tune with each other!" Tony smiled and drove away.]

[Seeing that he was not fooled, Harley said calmly: "It's worth a try!"]

he camera turns to Eric Savin, and the sunken part of his face is gradually repaired. He coughs twice and sits up again.]

"He's not dead yet? Looks like we have to take this seriously!" Tony frowned as he watched Eric Savin regenerate on the screen.

"Yeah! Its self-healing ability is extremely strong," Maya Hansen explained knowledgeably. "As long as the brain and vital parts are not injured, it can recover. But the disadvantage is that the body may produce too much hormone during the recovery process."

"Once it exceeds the human body's tolerance limit, it will be released from the body, forming an extremely high-temperature explosion!"

She briefly explained to everyone how the Extremis virus works, her hands moving as she illustrated the process.

"Extremis virus...interesting!" As a doctor of biology, Banner leaned forward with scientific curiosity. If he wasn't busy looking for Killian and the Mandarin, he would definitely have a good chat with Maya about this virus.

"So your problem now is that you can't solve the overheating problem?" Tony instantly understood what the biggest challenge with the Extremis virus was.

"Yeah!" Maya nodded and said, "Killian has been trying to solve this problem, but it has only been a temporary solution and cannot be eradicated."

"Unless you stop injecting the Extremis virus, then the body's defects will return to their original state!"

"Hmm..." Steve Rogers thought of the super soldier serum he had been injected with. Fortunately, his transformation was only a one-time thing.

Then he thought of the second-generation Dr. Connors' lizard formula, which would also restore the body to its original state if not injected continuously.

Wanda looked at Maya and asked, her eyes narrowing slightly, "If this overheating problem is not solved, the person who injected it will be a time bomb at any time and anywhere? Is that what you mean?"

"That's right!" Maya had to admit it. Everyone who was injected with the virus had a chance of exploding. It was just a matter of probability.

"Isn't this too dangerous? Have you ever considered the feelings of innocent people?" Wanda was obviously a little angry, a faint red glow emanating from her fingertips.

"I know, but I'm just a researcher, responsible for research. I can't interfere with what Killian wants to do with it," Maya defended herself, though her expression showed she understood the gravity of the situation.

"When I realized something was wrong, I came to you! I went straight to Tony in the Sky Screen as well!"

Maya certainly knew that she was responsible for this matter, but in order to obtain research funds, she had to sell her Extremis virus to Killian.

"Okay, there's no point in arguing. The most important thing now is to catch Killian and the Mandarin!" Steve Rogers stepped between them, stopping the conflict before it could escalate further.

["Yes, this Christmas tree is good value for money! It goes with any home decor!" A TV station was showing a Christmas tree ad, and the next second the screen flashed and turned into the Mandarin symbol.]

[The TV station staff looked at the screen in confusion: "What's wrong with the picture?"]

["We have to activate the override! They have control…"]

["How could this happen again?"]

["Override Los Angeles!"]

["I'm trying!"]

["Where does the signal come from?"]

["I don't know! All the receivers are…"]

["Satellites are down all over the East Coast! Not just here!"]

[The sudden situation caused the entire TV station to be in a state of chaos, and everyone started to talk about it.]

[Supervisor yells: "Activate emergency plan!"]

"He's hijacking the broadcast signal again," Maria Hill noted, her training as a SHIELD agent immediately kicking in. "The reach is even wider this time."

"This isn't just some amateur operation," Fury added grimly. "This is sophisticated tech and planning."

[Inside the White House, a staff member looked at the Vice President and said, "Mr. Vice President, you have to look at this!"]

[He then projected the screen on his laptop onto a large screen nearby.]

[He turned his head and looked: "Oh! My, God! Here we go again! Is the President watching too?"]

[On Air Force One, President Ellis also noticed something was wrong. A video clip flashed on the screen, and then the Mandarin's face appeared.]

["Mr. President, there are only two classes left! I plan to finish the class before Christmas morning!"]

[The scene moves to the Mandarin, who is seen holding a gun and stepping on a man: "This is Thomas Charlize! Great name, great job!"]

[The Mandarin steps harder on the man beneath his foot. "This Thomas is the accountant of Roxxon Oil Company!" The camera gave a close-up of Thomas's face, and he was crying out of fear.]

[The Mandarin leaned in closer to the camera. "I believe he's a good man! I'm going to shoot him in the head on live TV within 30 seconds!"]

[Mandarin pointed to the phone next to him: "The number of this phone has been sent to your phone! Isn't it exciting?"]

[He smiled menacingly. "Think about how the number was sent! America! If your president calls me within half a minute! I will spare his life! The countdown begins!"]

[Ellis picked up his phone and saw a number. He showed it to the person next to him and asked, "How did he hack into my phone?"]

["We cannot just follow the orders of terrorists…"]

["I have to make this call!"]

["I strongly object!"]

["I can't just stand by and watch someone die!" Ellis knew there must be something fishy going on, but he had to make the call, or he would lose the support of the people!]

["Ding-ling-ling!" The phone rang, and Thomas felt relieved, thinking he was saved!]

[The Mandarin looked at the camera with a puzzled expression, then pointed the gun at him. Then a gunshot rang out! Everyone watching TV was startled!]

["There's only one left! President Ellis! So run! Hide! Say goodbye to your children! Because no one can save you! Not even your army! Not even your red, white and blue attack dog!"]

[The Mandarin shook his head and said in a very serious tone, and finally looked directly into the camera: "I will come to see you again!"]

[After saying this, the camera flashed back to that symbol.]

[Ellis stared at the TV and ordered the person beside him: "Tell Rod to find this lunatic immediately!"]

["Mr. President! We have tracked the broadcast signal! The source of the signal may be located in Pakistan! Iron Patriots are ready to strike!"]

[After hearing this, Ellis immediately ordered: "Attack now!"]

["Yes, sir!"]

"It's a trap," Natasha said immediately. "The signal is being bounced through Pakistan, but that's not where he is."

"Agreed," Tony nodded. "Too obvious. The Mandarin wants us to waste resources attacking the wrong location."

"But what choice does Ellis have?" Rhodey countered, his military training evident. "He has to be seen taking decisive action."

"Meanwhile, the real Mandarin remains hidden," Fury concluded, his eye narrowing. "And his endgame is still unclear."

Chapter 329: War Machine Is Awesome

When Thomas Charlize saw himself being shot on the mysterious sky screen, his body trembled involuntarily.

He didn't know why he had been captured by the Mandarin, but that didn't stop him from feeling terrified. He immediately applied for protection from the local police.

The police responded without hesitation and immediately dispatched officers to protect him.

At the same time, Tony and Banner had hacked into AIM's internal network, and this time they successfully pinpointed Killian's location.

It turned out that after Killian learned that his operation was exposed, he retreated to his secret base in Miami, preparing to find a way to leave the United States.

He knew very well that harboring a terrorist group on American soil was absolutely intolerable to the White House, not to mention that he was threatening the president and several explosions had already occurred.

"He's cornered," Steve Rogers noted with satisfaction. "And a cornered enemy is often at their most dangerous."

"But why not just surrender?" young Peter Parker asked. "Seems like he's just making things worse for himself."

Killian was unwilling to surrender because of Maya's existence. To some people, it would be better for him to die. The Extremis virus could not be a bargaining chip for him to escape.

The vice president had also broken ties with him. In order to save himself, the vice president chose to tell President Ellis everything he knew.

As for the fate of the vice president after that, it would be left to Ellis to decide.

"Smart move by the VP," Fury commented. "When a ship is sinking, the rats are always first to jump."

"Political survival instinct," Maria Hill added with a hint of disdain.

Tony and the others had begun to prepare to set out to deal with Killian.

After the last careless failure, which resulted in heavy losses for the Crossbones Team, Tony had learned his lesson and decided not to give Killian any chance to resist. He called Thor and Captain Marvel Carol.

Asking them to help coordinate taking down Killian, Thor and Captain Marvel agreed immediately. They had always been interested in this kind of adversary.

"Thor and Captain Marvel?" Clint whistled. "Talk about bringing a nuclear weapon to a knife fight."

"Overkill is underrated," Tony replied with a shrug. "I'm not taking any chances this time."

Then everyone boarded the Quinjet and set off.

Killian didn't know that his position had been exposed so quickly. He was racking his brains to think about how to leave the United States, not knowing that Tony and the others were already on their way.

[Tony is driving while looking through the information Mrs. Davis gave him.]

[On the other side, Rhodes kicked the door open in his armor, startling everyone inside.]

[He walked in, pointed his weapon at them, and yelled, "Freeze!"]

[Just when he was in all his glory, his cell phone rang at an inopportune time. He was stunned for a moment and looked at them: "Uh... please wait a moment!"]

[Then he answered the phone: "Hello?"]

["Have you ever looked up while a girl is riding you, and suddenly she glows from the inside out and turns bright orange?"]

[Tony started by saying something that sounded incomprehensible to Rhodes.]

[So he decided to ignore this and asked directly: "Yeah! Who are you?"]

["It's me! Brother, the last time I disappeared, if I remember correctly, you were looking for me! What are you doing now?"]

[Rod finally recognized Tony's voice and couldn't help but smile when he found out that he was not dead.]

[Then he answered Tony's question calmly: "Knocking on doors and talking to friends in Pakistan! What are you doing?"]

[Tony did not answer but asked directly: "Did AIM redesign your suit?"]

["Yeah!"]

[After getting Rhodes's exact reply, Tony told him why he was looking for him: "I need to find a large communication satellite and I need your account number!"]

["It's always that account: War Machine 68!" Rhodes didn't ask Tony why he wanted his account. Even if he didn't tell him, Tony would find a way to hack into it.]

["Where's the password?"]

[Hearing this, Rhode couldn't help but complain: "I have to change my password every time I get hacked by you! Tony!"]

["It's not the 80s now! The word 'hacked' is outdated. Tell me the password!" Tony teased his choice of words.]

[Rod hesitated for a moment, but finally overcame his inner shyness and said the password: "WARMACHINEROX with an X! All in capital letters!"]

[A local resident couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Rhodes immediately pointed his machine gun at them, scaring them so much that they immediately raised their hands again and dared not say a word.]

[Tony also laughed. Facing Tony, Rhode had no choice but to say helplessly, "Yeah! Laugh as much as you want!"]

[That is much better than Iron Patriot!" Tony said what was in his heart, then his expression became serious, and he turned the steering wheel sharply and drove towards the place he just saw.]

"Rod! Didn't you expect your password to be so secure?" Tony teased Rhodes about his password while flying on the way to Miami.

"Oh! Come on! Man! Don't do this!" Rhodes was obviously a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his password would be made public in this situation.

It was such a narcissistic password, which made for a terrible experience.

The others couldn't help laughing as they listened to the conversation between the two on the radio.

"To be fair," Happy commented between chuckles, "War Machine IS ROX."

"Still a terrible password," Natasha remarked, shaking her head. "No special characters, no numbers similarity with the username..."

[It turned out to be a sign outside a house on the roadside that read: "Hamilton County Memorial Hall: Miss Chattanooga Christmas Pageant!"]

[The atmosphere was very lively at this time, and the host was talking to a model: "Very good! Very good! Please answer the question: What Christmas gift do you want this year?"]

[Tony puts on Harley's hat and walks to a news truck with a bundle of wires. He hears a staff member on the phone: "We are live broadcasting!"]

[Tony opened the car door and got in while he was leaving.]

[A familiar old man appeared on the TV, voting for Miss No. 10, smiling happily.]

[Tony turned off the TV, plugged in the Internet cable and started to hack into AIM's system, but then he found that the Internet speed of the laptop was not fast enough.]

["That won't do!" Just as Tony was still thinking about how to increase the Internet speed, the staff member came back.]

[After seeing Tony inside, the other party didn't recognize him at first and greeted him, "Sorry sir! I didn't know..."]

[Tony turned around and looked at him, making a gesture to keep quiet. Gary saw that it was Tony and couldn't help but stare at him with his mouth wide open.]

[Tony smiled at him, and Gary quickly said to the other end of the phone: "Mom! I'll call you later! A miracle happened!"]

["Tony Stark is in my car!!!" Gary was obviously a little excited and said to himself.]

[Tony quickly waved his hand and said, "Keep your voice down!"]

[But Gary was still very excited and shouted again: "Tony Stark is in my car!!!"]

["You got the wrong person!" Tony waved his hands repeatedly to deny it.]

[But Gary recognized Tony, he would not mistake him: "I knew you were still alive!"]

Chapter 330: Gary

"Oh! My God! That's me!!! Mom! See that! I met Tony Stark!" Gary couldn't hide his excitement. He never thought that one day he would be able to meet Tony Stark in person!

He could brag about this for the rest of his life, even if it was being broadcast across the multiverse, it wouldn't matter.

"That old man... uh... Sorry! That man! Did you see him? He appears again!" Tony saw the old man who voted for Miss No. 10 in the broadcast and recognized him at a glance.

At first he habitually called him old man, but then he immediately remembered that Nick Fury had repeated to him what the Ancient One said, and immediately changed to addressing him with honorifics.

Tony didn't want to anger an existence that even the Ancient One couldn't see through. God knows what abilities the other party possessed. Anyway, according to the Ancient One, Earth was not as significant as that entity!

Nick Fury also saw him and sighed slightly, wondering why there were so many mysterious beings on Earth. He couldn't guess what this old man was trying to do.

Whenever there was a major event, he always appeared at the scene, as if he was waiting there specifically to watch the show!

["Come in! Close the door!" Looking at the extremely excited Gary, Tony knew that he couldn't let him stand outside like this, otherwise he would be easily discovered.]

[Gary quickly got into the car, and Tony shushed him again.]

["Can I say a word, sir?"]

["Yeah! Of course!"]

[Gary waved his hands and said: "I am your biggest fan!"]

[Tony didn't feel anything after hearing this, he pointed at the car and asked: "Okay! Let me ask a question first, is this your car? Will anyone else come in?"]

["NONONO! No one will come in!" Gary's answer made Tony very satisfied!]

["What's your name?" Tony held out his hand to him.]

["Gary!" The two shook hands, and Gary patted the back of Tony's hand excitedly.]

[Tony had to remind him: "Keep your distance! I often encounter excited fans! Relax!"]

["Okay! Oh! Can I say something?" Gary held Tony's hand tightly.]

["You want to say...Yeah!" Tony wanted to ask him what he wanted to say, but after thinking about it, he agreed directly.]

[Gary said excitedly: "I don't know if you can tell, but I'm copying your style!" He took off his hat and showed Tony his hairstyle.]

["My hair is a little… not right! Because I didn't spray it with hairspray!" He put his hat back on.]

["Yeah! It's okay!" Tony looked at him awkwardly.]

[Gary then showed: "I don't want to embarrass you! But I have to show you this! Boom!!!"]

[Tony shook his head and said, "You don't!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gary pulled up his sleeves to show Tony his tattoo.]

[Tony didn't recognize it at first glance and guessed, "The Spanish version of Scott Baio?"]

[Then he realized: "Oh! Sorry! Is this me?!!"]

["Yeah! This is a tattoo based on the doll I made! So it's a little different from the photo, a little…"]

The multiverse viewers erupted in laughter.

"A homemade Tony Stark doll?" Sam Wilson wiped tears from his eyes. "This is priceless."

[Looking at Gary's excitement, Tony had to step forward and interrupt him.]

["Gary! Listen to me! Okay? I don't want to dampen your spirits, but we're all a little too excited! I'm busy! I'm tracking down the bad guys!"]

["I want to find clues from the encrypted data file, but the internet speed here is not fast enough! You have to go to the roof of the car! Okay?"]

["Recalibrate ISDN! Increase power by 40%! It's a mission!"]

["Yeah! Got it!" Gary nodded immediately.]

[Tony looked at him with satisfaction and gave him a bowl of chicken soup: "Tony needs Gary!"]

[Gary responded: "Gary needs Tony too!"]

[Finally, Tony reminded him: "Keep a low profile! Go!"]

["Yeah!" Gary then came to the roof of the car, did what Tony said, and patted the car.]

[Tony also knocked in response, and immediately began to hack into AIM's system through Rhodes' account, successfully gaining full access rights!]

[Then he found their internal information and saw the video records of Chad Davis and Ellen Brandt.]

[Tony opened Chad Davis' video and saw Killian questioning him.]

["What do you think was the defining moment in your life?"]

["That was the day I made up my mind to overcome the pain!"]

[Tony then opened the video of Ellen Brandt, who was chasing him.]

["Please tell the camera your name!"]

["Ellen Brandt!"]

["Okay! Injections will be given regularly! No drinking or drugs allowed! Those who cannot discipline themselves will be removed from the program!"]

[Tony stared at Killian coldly and opened another video.]

[Killian, dressed in a suit, is giving a speech: "You were once a burden! You were disabled! But you will become the next stage of human evolution!"]

[Then Tony saw a video labeled: Extremis Project, Injection Test, Phase 09, with the date June 6, 25.]

["Hello everyone! Before we begin! I want to assure you that when you look back on your past, the most painful memories will be the extremely high risks that you carefully decided to put behind you!"]

["Today is your day of glory! Let's begin!"]

[Many people can be seen in the video, including Ellen Brandt, who was also in this episode. It can be seen that after being injected with the Extremis virus, her broken arm began to grow back.]

[The camera of the video then turned to another person. A man next to Ellen Brandt was screaming in pain, and his whole body was emitting light.]

[Killian saw this and immediately waved his hands and shouted, "We have to get out of here! Get out of here quickly! Take them away! Take them out!!!"]

[Tony's eyes widened immediately, wondering what was going on.]

The viewers from across the multiverse leaned forward in their seats, tension building as they realized what was about to happen.

[The orange-red light on his body became increasingly intense, even coming out of his open mouth, and then he exploded right under the surveillance camera!]

[Tony looked at the video and said calmly: "A bomb that can go off accidentally is not a bomb! This thing is not always so useful! Right, man!"]

["It's defective, but you found a buyer! The buyer is the Mandarin! Got you!"]

[Tony seemed somewhat happy after finding the mastermind behind the scenes. He finally got the clue of the enemy.]
