"You bunch of bastards! You deserve to be torn to pieces!"
Tony Stark smashed through half of the previous plane, piloting the cumbersome Mark prototype, and charged out.
Inside the cramped cave, he didn't use any ranged weapons; he simply used his steel-like body to beat dozens of people to death!
He then found Ethan lying on the ground coughing up blood in a corner of the cave. Ethan was severely injured and bleeding profusely, and was clearly not going to make it.
"Hurry! Get out of here! Get out of here quickly! I just heard a leader say that the Ten Commandments are coming soon. Hurry! Hurry!"
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"
The Ten Commandments Gang?!
Tony was startled.
As a world-renowned arms dealer, how could Tony Stark not know about this terrifying regional organization?
If he were still on Western soil, he wouldn't be afraid at all, and might even want to go on television to mock the latter.
But times have changed.
If he were captured by the Ten Commandments Gang in such a godforsaken place, they could do whatever they wanted to him!
Gritting his teeth, Tony still wanted to carry Ethan away:
"Hold on! I'll take you with me!"
Capitalists are cruel, ruthless, and inhumane; they only know how to exploit the lower classes and are willing to sell their conscience for their own benefit!
But Tony is different from those capitalists; he still retains his humanity—perhaps that's why he ultimately became Iron Man, rather than an asset tycoon!
"I'm beyond saving... Hurry up and leave, don't waste any more time on me, or you won't be able to leave either!"
Ethan said, spitting out blood.
Based on Ethan's injuries, he was indeed going to die; that was his assessment, and Tony Stark also realized this.
However, Ethan didn't realize that although he kept vomiting blood, his mental state and physical condition were quite good.
He thought it was a final burst of energy before death.
In fact, this is the effect of vital energy!
...
Ethan's words made perfect sense; if they hesitated at this critical juncture, neither of them might be able to escape in the end.
Tony bit his lip hard and steered the Mark prototype toward the cave entrance.
Then, facing a hail of bullets from the kidnappers, Tony used the Mark prototype's long-range weapon—the flamethrower!
If given the chance, Tony would love to equip his prototype with a Gatling gun and then attach dozens of miniature missiles.
However, being in the innermost part of the cave, Tony had no other weapons besides the flamethrower.
The flamethrower was quite powerful; two fire dragons intertwined in the valley, scorching the surroundings terribly!
Even more spectacularly, the flamethrowers ignited the ammunition boxes, and the huge explosion instantly echoed throughout the valley.
Taking advantage of the cover of the explosion, Tony pressed the last button on the Mark prototype. A tremendous force surged up from his legs, propelling him into the sky!
At this moment, he is Iron Man!
...
...
"Fly, flew away?"
He covered half his face, staring in astonishment at the figure flying into the sky.
The bearded man was also dumbfounded:
"Boss, it seems that's true. He really did fly away. How could that metal can go up into the sky?"
The bearded man was very flustered.
The Ten Rings were already on their way, and Tony Stark's prize was gone.
It just flew away like that?
What does the Ten Commandments Gang think?
The bearded man felt uncertain. Recalling the Ten Rings' infamous past, he had only one thought:
Retreat is the best option!
"He fell! He fell!"
Just as the bearded man was thinking about running away, he suddenly heard his boss shout with a mixture of surprise and joy!
The bearded man looked up at the sky in confusion and discovered that the steel can that had flown into the sky seemed to have encountered some problem, and it was slowly falling back down along the same path!
The bearded man was secretly delighted, but then he was startled:
"I hope he doesn't just fall and die like that?"
My heart skipped a beat.
The Ten Commandments want a living, breathing Tony Stark, not Tony-chan!
If Tony Stark were to actually die from the fall, I swear the Ten Rings would kill him again and again in the same way.
...
...
"Damn it! The jet system is malfunctioning!"
The moment the Mark prototype malfunctioned, Tony realized what was wrong.
If it were in his own precision research lab, he could freely modify and adjust it, and conduct closed tests.
However, here, the Mark prototype was put directly into the battlefield after it was built, without any opportunity for testing!
Tony is very anxious now.
He left two parachutes inside the Mark prototype for descent, so he wouldn't be killed by the crash.
However, those two parachutes were used after leaving the valley and escaping Ben's clutches.
Now, if you use a parachute to land safely—wouldn't you still get arrested?
Tony Stark was instantly caught in a dilemma.
He was caught after landing safely using a parachute.
No parachute needed... and without it, there would be no "then".
Just as Tony Stark, with a grim face, was about to press the parachute button, an unimaginable, immense force suddenly appeared on the shoulder of the Mark prototype.
The Mark prototype froze in mid-air, like a puppet held in mid-air by a floating figure, unable to move an inch.
Just as Tony was in utter astonishment, he heard a very familiar, calm voice.
"There's nothing to worry about anymore, my friend, because I'm here."
"Clark!!!"
Tony Stark's cheers echoed through the sky!
